Running the testsuite against an Asan-enabled build of GDB makes
gdb.base/multi-target.exp expose this bug.
scoped_restore_current_thread's ctor calls get_frame_id to record the
selected frame's ID to restore later. If the frame ID hasn't been
computed yet, it will be computed on the spot, and that will usually
require accessing the target's memory and registers. If the remote
connection closes, while we're computing the frame ID, the remote
target exits its inferiors, unpushes itself, and throws a
TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error. Exiting the inferiors deletes the
inferior's threads.
scoped_restore_current_thread increments the current thread's refcount
to prevent the thread from being deleted from under its feet.
However, the code that does that isn't considering the case of the
thread being deleted from within get_frame_id. It only increments the
refcount _after_ get_frame_id returns. So if the current thread is
indeed deleted, the
tp->incref ();
statement references a stale TP pointer.
Incrementing the refcounts earlier fixes it.
We should probably also let the TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error propagate in
this case. That alone would fix it, though it seems better to tweak
the refcount handling too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* thread.c
(scoped_restore_current_thread::scoped_restore_current_thread):
Incref the thread before calling get_frame_id instead of after.
Let TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR propagate.
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.
