This patch aims to turn 'set print inferior-events' always on, and do
some cleanup on the messages printed by GDB when various inferior
events happen (attach, detach, fork, kill, exit).
To make sure that the patch is correct, I've tested it with a handful
of combinations of 'set follow-fork-mode', 'set detach-on-fork' and
'set print inferior-events'. In the end, I decided to make my
hand-made test into an official testcase. More on that below.
Using the following program as an example:
#include <unistd.h>
int main ()
{
fork ();
return 0;
}
We see the following outputs from the patched GDB:
- With 'set print inferior-events on':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Detaching after fork from child process 27749]
[Inferior 1 (process 27745) exited normally]
(gdb)
- With 'set print inferior-events off':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Inferior 1 (process 27823) exited normally]
(gdb)
Comparing this against an unpatched GDB:
- With 'set print inferior-events off' and 'set follow-fork-mode
child':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Inferior 2 (process 5993) exited normally]
(gdb)
Compare this against an unpatched GDB:
(unpatched-gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[New process 5702]
[Inferior 2 (process 5702) exited normally]
(unpatched-gdb)
It is possible to notice that, in this scenario, the patched GDB
will lose the '[New process %d]' message.
- With 'set print inferior-events on', 'set follow-fork-mode child'
and 'set detach-on-fork on':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 27905 fork to child process 27909]
[New inferior 2 (process 27909)]
[Detaching after fork from parent process 27905]
[Inferior 1 (process 27905) detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 27909) exited normally]
(gdb)
Compare this output with an unpatched GDB, using the same settings:
(unpatched-gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[New inferior 28033]
[Inferior 28029 detached]
[New process 28033]
[Inferior 2 (process 28033) exited normally]
[Inferior 28033 exited]
(unpatched-gdb)
As can be seen above, I've also made a few modifications to messages
that are printed when 'set print inferior-events' is on. For example,
a few of the messages did not contain the '[' and ']' as
prefix/suffix, which led to a few inconsistencies like:
Attaching after process 22995 fork to child process 22999.
[New inferior 22999]
Detaching after fork from child process 22999.
[Inferior 22995 detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 22999) exited normally]
So I took the opportunity and included the square brackets where
applicable. I have also made the existing messages more uniform, by
always printing "Inferior %d (process %d)..." where applicable. This
makes it easier to identify the inferior number and the PID number
from the messages.
As suggested by Pedro, the "[Inferior %d exited]" message from
'exit_inferior' has been removed, because it got duplicated when
'inferior-events' is on. I'm also using the
'add_{thread,inferior}_silent' versions (instead of their verbose
counterparts) on some locations, also to avoid duplicated messages.
For example, a patched GDB with 'set print inferior-events on', 'set
detach-on-fork on' and 'set follow-fork-mode child', but using
'add_thread', would print:
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 25088 fork to child process 25092.]
[New inferior 25092] <--- duplicated
[Detaching after fork from child process 25092.]
[Inferior 25088 detached]
[New process 25092] <--- duplicated
[Inferior 2 (process 25092) exited normally]
But if we use 'add_thread_silent' (with the same configuration as
before):
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 31606 fork to child process 31610]
[New inferior 2 (process 31610)]
[Detaching after fork from parent process 31606]
[Inferior 1 (process 31606) detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 31610) exited normally]
As for the tests, the configuration options being exercised are:
- follow-fork-mode: child/parent
- detach-on-fork: on/off
- print inferior-events: on/off
It was also necessary to perform adjustments on several testcases,
because the expected messages changed considerably.
Built and regtested on BuildBot, without regressions.

'print_inferior_events' is on.
(initialize_inferiors): Use 'add_inferior_silent' to set
'current_inferior_'.

'extern'.
* infrun.c (follow_fork_inferior): Print '[Attaching...]' or
'[Detaching...]' messages when 'print_inferior_events' is on.
Use 'add_thread_silent' instead of 'add_thread'. Add '[' and ']'
as prefix/suffix for messages. Remove periods. Fix erroneous
'Detaching after fork from child...', replace it by '... from
parent...'.
(handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit): Add '[' and ']' as
prefix/suffix when printing 'Detaching...' messages. Print
them when 'print_inferior_events' is on.
* remote.c (remote_detach_1): Print message when detaching
from inferior and '!is_fork_parent'.

README
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.
