On "exec", some targets need to unpush themselves from the inferior, and do some bookkeeping, like forgetting the data associated to the exec'ing inferior. One such example is the thread-db target. It does so in a special case in thread_db_target::wait, just before returning the TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD event to its caller. We have another such case in the context of rocm-gdb [1], where the "rocm" target is pushed on top of the linux-nat target. When an exec happens, we want to unpush the rocm target from the exec'ing inferior to close some file descriptors that refer to the pre-exec address space and forget about that inferior. We then want to push the target on the inferior in which execution continues, to open the file descriptors for the post-exec address space. I think that a good way to address this cleanly is to do all this in the target_ops::follow_exec implementations. Make the process_stratum_target::follow_exec implementation have the default behavior of pushing itself to the new inferior's target stack (if execution continues in a new inferior) and add the initial thread. remote_target::follow_exec is an example of process target that wants to do a bit more than the default behavior. So it calls process_stratum_target::follow_exec first and does the extra work second. linux-thread-db (a non-process target) implements follow_exec to do some bookeeping (forget about that process' data), before handing down the event down to the process target (which hits process_stratum_target::follow_exec). gdb/ChangeLog: * target.h (struct target_ops) <follow_exec>: Add ptid_t parameter. (target_follow_exec): Likewise. * target.c (target_follow_exec): Add ptid_t parameter. * infrun.c (follow_exec): Adjust call to target_follow_exec, don't push target nor create thread. * linux-thread-db.c (class thread_db_target) <follow_exec>: New. (thread_db_target::wait): Just return on TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD. (thread_db_target::follow_exec): New. * remote.c (class remote_target) <follow_exec>: Add ptid_t parameter. (remote_target::follow_exec): Call process_stratum_target::follow_exec. * target-delegates.c: Re-generate. Change-Id: I3f96d0ba3ea0dde6540b7e1b4d5cdb01635088c8
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.
