/* An event loop listens for events from multiple event sources. When
|
|
an event arrives, it is queued and processed by calling the
|
|
appropriate event handler. The event loop then continues to listen
|
|
for more events. An event loop completes when there are no event
|
|
sources to listen on. External event sources can be plugged into
|
|
the loop.
|
|
|
|
There are 4 main components:
|
|
- a list of file descriptors to be monitored, GDB_NOTIFIER.
|
|
- a list of asynchronous event sources to be monitored,
|
|
ASYNC_EVENT_HANDLER_LIST.
|
|
- a list of events that have occurred, EVENT_QUEUE.
|
|
- a list of signal handling functions, SIGHANDLER_LIST.
|
|
|
|
GDB_NOTIFIER keeps track of the file descriptor based event
|
|
sources. ASYNC_EVENT_HANDLER_LIST keeps track of asynchronous
|
|
event sources that are signalled by some component of gdb, usually
|
|
a target_ops instance. Event sources for gdb are currently the UI
|
|
and the target. Gdb communicates with the command line user
|
|
interface via the readline library and usually communicates with
|
|
remote targets via a serial port. Serial ports are represented in
|
|
GDB as file descriptors and select/poll calls. For native targets
|
|
instead, the communication varies across operating system debug
|
|
APIs, but usually consists of calls to ptrace and waits (via
|
|
signals) or calls to poll/select (via file descriptors). In the
|
|
current gdb, the code handling events related to the target resides
|
|
in wait_for_inferior for synchronous targets; or, for asynchronous
|
|
capable targets, by having the target register either a target
|
|
controlled file descriptor and/or an asynchronous event source in
|
|
the event loop, with the fetch_inferior_event function as the event
|
|
callback. In both the synchronous and asynchronous cases, usually
|
|
the target event is collected through the target_wait interface.
|
|
The target is free to install other event sources in the event loop
|
|
if it so requires.
|
|
|
|
EVENT_QUEUE keeps track of the events that have happened during the
|
|
last iteration of the event loop, and need to be processed. An
|
|
event is represented by a procedure to be invoked in order to
|
|
process the event. The queue is scanned head to tail. If the
|
|
event of interest is a change of state in a file descriptor, then a
|
|
call to poll or select will be made to detect it.
|
|
|
|
If the events generate signals, they are also queued by special
|
|
functions that are invoked through traditional signal handlers.
|
|
The actions to be taken is response to such events will be executed
|
|
when the SIGHANDLER_LIST is scanned, the next time through the
|
|
infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
Corollary tasks are the creation and deletion of event sources. */
