Joel Brobecker 178d6a6386 (windows) GDB/MI crash when using "-list-thread-groups --available"
On Windows, using the "-list-thread-groups --available" GDB/MI command
before an inferior is being debugged:

    % gdb -q -i=mi
    =thread-group-added,id="i1"
    =cmd-param-changed,param="auto-load safe-path",value="/"
    (gdb)
    -list-thread-groups --available
    Segmentation fault

Ooops!

The SEGV happens because the -list-thread-groups --available command
triggers a windows_nat_target::xfer_partial call for a TARGET_OBJECT_OSDATA
object.  Until a program is being debugged, the target_ops layer that
gets the call is the Windows "native" layer. Except for a couple of
specific objects (TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY and TARGET_OBJECT_LIBRARIES),
this layer's xfer_partial method delegates the xfer of other objects
to the target beneath:

    default:
      return beneath->xfer_partial (object, annex,
                                    readbuf, writebuf, offset, len,
                                    xfered_len);

Unfortunately, there is no "beneath layer" in this case, so
beneath is NULL and dereferencing it leads to the SEGV.

This patch fixes the issue by checking beneath before trying
to delegate the request.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * windows-nat.c (windows_nat_target::xfer_partial): Return
        TARGET_XFER_E_IO if we need to delegate to the target beneath
        but BENEATH is NULL.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-no-inferior.exp: New testcase.

		   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.
