It possible that a thread whose PC we attempt to read is already dead. In this case, 'regcache_read_pc' errors out. This impacts the "proceed" execution flow, where GDB quits early before having a chance to check if there exists a pending event. To remedy, keep going with a 0 value for the PC if 'regcache_read_pc' fails. Because the value of PC before resuming a thread is mostly used for storing and checking the next time the thread stops, this tolerance is expected to be harmless for a dead thread/process. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-05-14 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * regcache.c (regcache_read_pc_protected): New function implementation that returns 0 if the PC cannot read via 'regcache_read_pc'. * infrun.c (proceed): Call 'regcache_read_pc_protected' instead of 'regcache_read_pc'. (keep_going_pass_signal): Ditto. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: 2020-05-14 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * common-regcache.h (regcache_read_pc_protected): New function declaration.
