PR gdb/22992 concerns an assertion failure in gdb when debugging a
certain inferior:
int finish_step_over(execution_control_state*): Assertion `ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected' failed.
Initially the investigation centered on the discovery that gdb was not
suspending other threads when attempting to single-step. This
oversight is corrected in this patch: now, when stepping a thread, gdb
will call SuspendThread on all other threads.
However, the bug persisted even after this change. In particular,
WaitForDebugEvent could see a stop for a thread that was ostensibly
suspended. Our theory of what is happening here is that there are
actually simultaneous breakpoint hits, and the Windows kernel queues
the events, causing the second stop to be reported on a suspended
thread.
In Windows 10 or later gdb could use the DBG_REPLY_LATER flag to
ContinueDebugEvent to request that such events be re-reported later.
However, relying on that did not seem advisable, so this patch instead
arranges to queue such "pending" stops, and then to report them later,
once the step has completed.
In the PR, Pedro pointed out that it's best in this scenario to
implement the stopped_by_sw_breakpoint method, so this patch does this
as well.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
