Keith Seitz 6be47f0c48 Fix for PR mi/15863
If an MI client creates a varobj and attempts to update the root
/before/ the inferior is started, gdb will throw an internal error:

(gdb)
-var-create * - batch_flag
^done,name="var1",numchild="0",value="0",type="int",has_more="0"
(gdb)
-var-update var1
^done,changelist=[]
(gdb)
-var-update *
~"../../src/gdb/thread.c:628: internal-error: is_thread_state: Assertion `tp' failed.\nA problem internal to GDB has been detected,\nfurther debugging may prove unreliable.\nQuit this debugging session? "
~"(y or n) "

The function that handles the varobj update in the failing case,
mi_cmd_var_udpate_iter, checks if the thread/inferior is stopped before
attempting to update the varobj. It calls is_stopped (inferior_ptid)
which calls is_thread_state:

    tp = find_thread_ptid (ptid);
    gdb_assert (tp);

When there is no inferior, ptid is null_ptid, and find_thread_ptid (null_ptid)
returns NULL and the assertion is triggered.

This patch changes mi_cmd_var_update_iter to behave the same way
"-var-update var1" does: by calling the thread "stopped" if
there is no inferior (and thereby calling varobj_update_one).

		   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.
