If we make GDB report the process EXIT event for the leader thread, instead of whatever is the last thread in the LWP list, as will be done in a latter patch of this series, then gdb.threads/current-lwp-dead.exp starts failing: (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/clone-new-thread-event.exp: catch SIGUSR1 (the program exited) This is a testcase race -- the main thread does not wait for the spawned clone "thread" to finish before exiting, so the main program may exit before the second thread is scheduled and reports its SIGUSR1. With the change to make GDB report the EXIT for the leader, the race is 100% reproducible by adding a sleep(), like so: --- c/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/clone-new-thread-event.c +++ w/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/clone-new-thread-event.c @@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ local_gettid (void) static int fn (void *unused) { + sleep (1); tkill (local_gettid (), SIGUSR1); return 0; } Resulting in: Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd418) at gdb.threads/clone-new-thread-event.c:65 65 stack = malloc (STACK_SIZE); (gdb) continue Continuing. [New LWP 3715562] [Inferior 1 (process 3715555) exited normally] (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/clone-new-thread-event.exp: catch SIGUSR1 (the program exited) That inferior exit reported is actually correct. The main thread has indeed exited, and that's the thread that has the right exit code to report to the user, as that's the exit code that is reported to the program's parent. In this case, GDB managed to collect the exit code for the leader thread before reaping the other thread, because in reality, the testcase isn't creating standard threads, it is using raw clone, and the new clones are put in their own thread group. Fix it by making the main thread wait for the child to exit. Also, run the program to completion for completeness. Change-Id: I315cd3dc2b9e860395dcab9658341ea868d7a6bf

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.
