GDB kills itself instead of interrupting inferior
When GDB is run with IO redirected to a pipe, the 'interrupt' command
causes it to kill its own process group instead of the inferior's.
The problem manifests itself in async mode, native debugging:
$ cat | gdb <file>
(gdb) set target-async on
(gdb) run &
(gdb) interrupt
A debugging session is active.
Inferior 1 [process 20584] will be killed.
Quit anyway? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
In this case, GDB tells that its stdin isn't a tty and doesn't save
the inferior's process group in
inflow.c:terminal_init_inferior_with_pgrp. The 'interrupt' command
tries to 'kill' the inferior's process group in
`inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop`, but since that wasn't saved in the
first place, GDB kills process group 0, meaning, its own process
group.
When GDB is used from a frontend, that means killing its own process
group including the frontend and possibly the X session. This was
originally seen with SublimeGDB:
https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeGDB/issues/29.
The patch makes GDB save the inferior pgid regardless of having a
terminal, as pgid is used not only to reset foreground process group,
but also to interrupt the inferior process. It also adds a regression
test. Luckily, we can emulate not having a terminal with "set
interactive-mode off", avoiding the need of special magic to spawn gdb
with a pipe.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.
