PR gdb/11568 is about thread-specific breakpoints being left behind
when the corresponding thread exits.
Currently:
(gdb) b start thread 2
Breakpoint 3 at 0x400614: file thread-specific-bp.c, line 23.
(gdb) b end

4 breakpoint keep y 0x000000000040061f in end at thread-specific-bp.c:29
breakpoint already hit 1 time
Note that the thread-specific breakpoint 3 stayed around, even though
thread 2 is gone.
There's no way that breakpoint can trigger again (*), so the PR argues
that the breakpoint should just be removed, like local watchpoints.
I'm ambivalent on this -- it could be reasonable to disable the
breakpoint (kind of like breakpoint in shared library code when the
DSO is unloaded), so the user could still use it as visual template
for creating other breakpoints (copy/paste command lists, etc.), or we
could have a way to change to which thread a breakpoint applies. But,
several people pushed this direction, and I don't plan on arguing...
(*) - actually, there is ... thread numbers are reset on "run", so
the user could do "break foo thread 2", "run", and expect the
breakpoint to hit again on the second thread. But given gdb's thread
numbering can't really be stable, that'd only work sufficiently well
for thread 1, so we'd better call it unsupported.
So with the patch, whenever a thread is deleted from GDB's list, GDB
goes through the thread-specific breakpoints and deletes corresponding
breakpoints. Since this is user-visible, GDB prints out:
Thread-specific breakpoint 3 deleted - thread 2 is gone.
And of course, we end up with:

The issue is that print_stack_frame always sets the current sal to the
frame's sal. print_frame_info (which print_stack_frame calls to do
most of the work) also sets the last displayed sal, but only if
print_what isn't LOCATION. Now the call in question, from within
thread.c:print_thread_info, does pass in LOCATION as print_what, but
print_stack_frame doesn't have the same check print_frame_info has.
We could consider adding it, but setting these globals depending on
print_what isn't very clean, IMO. What we have is two logically
distinct operations mixed in the same function(s):
#1 - print frame, in the format specified by {print_what,
print_level and print_args}.
#2 - We're displaying a frame to the user, and I want the default
sal to point here, because the program stopped here, or the user
did some context-changing command (up, down, etc.).
So I added a new parameter to print_stack_frame & friends for point
#2, and went through all calls in the tree adjusting as necessary.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

This patch adds a new convenience function called $_isvoid, whose
only purpose is to check whether an expression is void or not.
This became necessary because the new convenience variable
$_exitsignal (not yet approved) has a mutual exclusive behavior
with $_exitcode, i.e., when one is "defined" (i.e., non-void),
the other is cleared (i.e., becomes void). Doug wanted a way to
identify which variable to use, and checking for voidness is the
obvious solution.
It is worth mentioning that my first attempt, after a conversation with
Doug, was to actually implement a new $_isdefined() convenience
function. I would do that (for convenience variables) by calling
lookup_only_internalvar. However, I found a few problems:
- Whenever I called $_isdefined ($variable), $variable became defined
(with a void value), and $_isdefined always returned true.
- Then, I tried to implement $_isdefined ("variable"), and do the "$" +
"variable" inside GDB, thus making it impossible for GDB to create the
convenience variable. However, it was hard to extract the string
without having to mess with values and their idiossincrasies.
Therefore, I decided to abandon this attempt (specially because I
didn't want to spend too much time struggling with it).
Anyway, after talking to Doug again we decided that it would be easier
to implement $_isvoid, and this will probably help in cases like
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3744554/testing-if-a-gdb-convenience-variable-is-defined>.
I wrote a NEWS entry for it, and some new lines on the documentation.
