From what I understand, this function is not doing anything useful as of
today.
Here's the result of my archeological research:
- The field thread_info::gdb_id was added in
a06660f7 Use LWP IDs for thread IDs in gdbserver
There was problem when using a 32-bits gdb with a 64-bits gdbserver.
For some reason that I don't fully understand, the thread ids
exchanged between gdb and gdbserver could overflow a 32 bits data
type. My guess is that they were the thread address (e.g. the
0x7ffff7f20b40 in "Thread 0x7ffff7f20b40 (LWP 1058)" today). This
patch changed that so gdb/gdbserver would talk in terms of the OS
assigned numerical id (as shown in ps). It therefore added a way to
convert between this gdb_id (the numerical id) and the thread id (the
address).
- 95954743cb Implement the multiprocess extensions, and add linux
multiprocess supportNon-stop mode support.
This patch made gdbserver deal with threads using their numerical ids
and not the address-like id. Starting from there, the gdb_id <->
thread id conversion was not needed anymore, since the remote protocol
and gdbserver were using the same kind of ids again. The gdb_id field
in the thread_info structure was also unused starting there.
- d50171e4 Teach linux gdbserver to step-over-breakpoints.
This patch moved the thread_info structure around, and got rid of the
gdb_id field (which was unused).
Looking at the implementation of gdb_id_to_thread_id, it is not doing
anything useful. It is looking up a thread by ptid using
find_thread_ptid, which basically loops over all threads looking at
their entry.id field. If a thread with that ptid is found, it returns
its entry.id field. So it will always return the same thing as it input
(with the exception of if no thread exist with that ptid, then it will
return null_ptid).
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* inferiors.h (gdb_id_to_thread_id): Remove.
* inferiors.c (gdb_id_to_thread_id): Remove.
* server.c (process_serial_event): Adjust to gdb_id_to_thread_id
removal. Move pid declaration closer to where it's used.
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.
