Since f67c0c9171 ("Enable 'set print inferior-events' and improve
detach/fork/kill/exit messages"), when detaching a remote process, we
get, for detach against a remote target:
(gdb) detach
Detaching from program: ...., process 5388
Ending remote debugging.
[Inferior 1 (Thread 5388.5388) detached]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is incorrect, for it is printing a thread id as string while we
should be printing the process id instead. I.e., either one of:
[Inferior 1 (process 5388) detached]
[Inferior 1 (Remote target) detached]
depending on remote stub support for the multi-process extensions.
Similarly, after killing a process, we're printing thread ids while we
should be printing process ids. E.g., on native GNU/Linux:
(gdb) k
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
[Inferior 1 (Thread 0x7ffff7faa8c0 (LWP 30721)) has been killed]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
while it should have been:
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) has been killed]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There's a wording inconsistency between detach and kill:
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) has been killed]
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) detached]
Given we were already saying "detached" instead of "has been
detached", and we used to say just "exited", and given that the "has
been" doesn't really add any information, this commit changes the
message to just "killed":
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) killed]

This patch aims to turn 'set print inferior-events' always on, and do
some cleanup on the messages printed by GDB when various inferior
events happen (attach, detach, fork, kill, exit).
To make sure that the patch is correct, I've tested it with a handful
of combinations of 'set follow-fork-mode', 'set detach-on-fork' and
'set print inferior-events'. In the end, I decided to make my
hand-made test into an official testcase. More on that below.
Using the following program as an example:
#include <unistd.h>
int main ()
{
fork ();
return 0;
}
We see the following outputs from the patched GDB:
- With 'set print inferior-events on':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Detaching after fork from child process 27749]
[Inferior 1 (process 27745) exited normally]
(gdb)
- With 'set print inferior-events off':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Inferior 1 (process 27823) exited normally]
(gdb)
Comparing this against an unpatched GDB:
- With 'set print inferior-events off' and 'set follow-fork-mode
child':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Inferior 2 (process 5993) exited normally]
(gdb)
Compare this against an unpatched GDB:
(unpatched-gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[New process 5702]
[Inferior 2 (process 5702) exited normally]
(unpatched-gdb)
It is possible to notice that, in this scenario, the patched GDB
will lose the '[New process %d]' message.
- With 'set print inferior-events on', 'set follow-fork-mode child'
and 'set detach-on-fork on':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 27905 fork to child process 27909]
[New inferior 2 (process 27909)]
[Detaching after fork from parent process 27905]
[Inferior 1 (process 27905) detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 27909) exited normally]
(gdb)
Compare this output with an unpatched GDB, using the same settings:
(unpatched-gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[New inferior 28033]
[Inferior 28029 detached]
[New process 28033]
[Inferior 2 (process 28033) exited normally]
[Inferior 28033 exited]
(unpatched-gdb)
As can be seen above, I've also made a few modifications to messages
that are printed when 'set print inferior-events' is on. For example,
a few of the messages did not contain the '[' and ']' as
prefix/suffix, which led to a few inconsistencies like:
Attaching after process 22995 fork to child process 22999.
[New inferior 22999]
Detaching after fork from child process 22999.
[Inferior 22995 detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 22999) exited normally]
So I took the opportunity and included the square brackets where
applicable. I have also made the existing messages more uniform, by
always printing "Inferior %d (process %d)..." where applicable. This
makes it easier to identify the inferior number and the PID number
from the messages.
As suggested by Pedro, the "[Inferior %d exited]" message from
'exit_inferior' has been removed, because it got duplicated when
'inferior-events' is on. I'm also using the
'add_{thread,inferior}_silent' versions (instead of their verbose
counterparts) on some locations, also to avoid duplicated messages.
For example, a patched GDB with 'set print inferior-events on', 'set
detach-on-fork on' and 'set follow-fork-mode child', but using
'add_thread', would print:
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 25088 fork to child process 25092.]
[New inferior 25092] <--- duplicated
[Detaching after fork from child process 25092.]
[Inferior 25088 detached]
[New process 25092] <--- duplicated
[Inferior 2 (process 25092) exited normally]
But if we use 'add_thread_silent' (with the same configuration as
before):
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 31606 fork to child process 31610]
[New inferior 2 (process 31610)]
[Detaching after fork from parent process 31606]
[Inferior 1 (process 31606) detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 31610) exited normally]
As for the tests, the configuration options being exercised are:
- follow-fork-mode: child/parent
- detach-on-fork: on/off
- print inferior-events: on/off
It was also necessary to perform adjustments on several testcases,
because the expected messages changed considerably.
Built and regtested on BuildBot, without regressions.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch, relative to a tree with
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00295.html, fixes
issues/crashes that trigger if something unexpected happens during a
hook-stop.
E.g., if the inferior disappears while running the hook-stop, we hit
failed assertions:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>kill
>end
(gdb) si
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/../src/gdb/thread.c:88: internal-error: inferior_thread: Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
I noticed that if a hook-stop issues a synchronous execution command,
we print the same stop event twice:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>si
>end
(gdb) si
0x000000000040074a 42 args[i] = 1; /* Init value. */ <<<<<<< once
0x000000000040074a 42 args[i] = 1; /* Init value. */ <<<<<<< twice
(gdb)

(gdb)
The fix has GDB stop processing the event if the context changed. I
don't expect people to be doing crazy things from the hook-stop.
E.g., it gives me headaches to try to come up a proper behavior for
handling a thread change from a hook-stop... (E.g., imagine the
hook-stop does thread N; step, with scheduler-locing on). I think the
most important bit here is preventing crashes.
The patch adds a new hook-stop.exp test that covers the above and also
merges in the old hook-stop-continue.exp and hook-stop-frame.exp into
the same framework.
