A patch in the target cleanup series caused a regression when using
record with target-async. Version 4 of the patch is here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00159.html
The immediate problem is that record supplies to_can_async_p and
to_is_async_p methods, but does not supply a to_async method. So,
when target-async is set, record claims to support async -- but if the
underlying target does not support async, then the to_async method
call will end up in that method's default implementation, namely
tcomplain.
This worked previously because the record target used to provide a
to_async method; one that (erroneously, only at push time) checked the
other members of the target stack, and then simply dropped to_async
calls in the "does not implement async" case.
My first thought was to simply drop tcomplain as the default for
to_async. This works, but Pedro pointed out that the only reason
record has to supply to_can_async_p and to_is_async_p is that these
default to using the find_default_run_target machinery -- and these
defaults are only needed by "run" and "attach".
So, a nicer solution presents itself: change run and attach to
explicitly call into the default run target when needed; and change
to_is_async_p and to_can_async_p to default to "return 0". This makes
the target stack simpler to use and lets us remove the method
implementations from record. This is also in harmony with other plans
for the target stack; namely trying to reduce the impact of
find_default_run_target. This approach makes it clear that
find_default_is_async_p is not needed -- it is asking whether a target
that may not even be pushed is actually async, which seems like a
nonsensical question.
While an improvement, this approach proved to introduce the same bug
when using the core target. Looking a bit deeper, the issue is that
code in "attach" and "run" may need to use either the current target
stack or the default run target -- but different calls into the target
API in those functions could wind up querying different targets.
This new patch makes the target to use more explicit in "run" and
"attach". Then these commands explicitly make the needed calls
against that target. This ensures that a single target is used for
all relevant operations. This lets us remove a couple find_default_*
functions from various targets, including the dummy target. I think
this is a decent understandability improvement.
One issue I see with this patch is that the new calls in "run" and
"attach" are not very much like the rest of the target API. I think
fundamentally this is due to bad factoring in the target API, which
may need to be fixed for multi-target. Tackling that seemed ambitious
for a regression fix.
While working on this I noticed that there don't seem to be any test
cases that involve both target-async and record, so this patch changes
break-precsave.exp to add some. It also changes corefile.exp to add
some target-async tests; these pass with current trunk and with this
patch applied, but fail with the v1 patch.
This patch differs from v4 in that it moves initialization of
to_can_async_p and to_supports_non_stop into inf-child, adds some
assertions to complete_target_initialization, and adds some comments
to target.h.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

This patch is to change the default implementation of to_traceframe_info
from 'return NULL' to tcomplain, which is intended. If new target
supports tracepoint, this method should be implemented, otherwise,
an error is thrown.

* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_traceframe_info>: Use
TARGET_DEFAULT_NORETURN (tcomplain ()).
* target-delegates.c: Regenerated.
This converts to_get_unwinder and to_get_tailcall_unwinder to methods
and arranges for them to use the new delegation scheme.
This just lets us avoid having a differing style (neither new-style
nor INHERIT) of delegation in the tree.
2014-02-19 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* target.c (target_get_unwinder): Rewrite.
(target_get_tailcall_unwinder): Rewrite.
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_to_get_unwinder): New function.
(record_btrace_to_get_tailcall_unwinder): New function.
(init_record_btrace_ops): Update.
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_get_unwinder,
to_get_tailcall_unwinder>: Now function pointers. Use
TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN.
This converts to_decr_pc_after_break to the new style of delegation,
removing forward_target_decr_pc_after_break.
2014-02-19 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_decr_pc_after_break): Delegate
directly.
* target-delegates.c: Rebuild.
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_decr_pc_after_break>: Use
TARGET_DEFAULT_FUNC.
* target.c (default_target_decr_pc_after_break): Rename from
forward_target_decr_pc_after_break. Simplify.
(target_decr_pc_after_break): Rely on delegation.
This changes instances of TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN(0) to
TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN(NULL) when appropriate. The use of "0" was a
relic from an earlier implementation of make-target-delegates; and I
didn't want to go back through the long patch series, fixing up
conflicts, just to change this small detail.
2014-02-19 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* target-delegates.c: Rebuild.
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_extra_thread_info,
to_thread_name, to_pid_to_exec_file, to_get_section_table,
to_memory_map, to_read_description, to_traceframe_info>: Use NULL,
not 0, in TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN.
This switches to_read_description to the "new normal" delegation
scheme. This one was a bit trickier than the other changes due to the
way that target_read_description handled delegation. I examined all
the target implementations of to_read_description and changed the ones
returning NULL to instead delegate.
2014-02-19 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* arm-linux-nat.c (arm_linux_read_description): Delegate when
needed.
* corelow.c (core_read_description): Delegate when needed.

* target-delegates.c: Rebuild.

comment. Use TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN.
