This commit adds a new exception 'gdb_exception_forced_quit', reason code 'REASON_FORCED_QUIT', return mask 'RETURN_MASK_FORCED_QUIT', and a wrapper for throwing the exception, throw_forced_quit(). The addition of this exception plus supporting code will allow us to recognize that a SIGTERM has been received by GDB and then propagate recognition of that fact to the upper levels of GDB where it can be correctly handled. At the moment, when GDB receives a SIGTERM, it will attempt to exit via a series of calls from the QUIT checking code. However, before it can exit, it must do various cleanups, such as killing or detaching all inferiors. Should these cleanups be attempted while GDB is executing very low level code, such as reading target memory from within ps_xfer_memory(), it can happen that some of GDB's state is out of sync with regard to the cleanup code's expectations. In the case just mentioned, it's been observed that inferior_ptid and the current_thread_ are not in sync; this triggers an assert / internal error. This commit only introduces the exception plus supporting machinery; changes which use this new exception are in later commits in this series.

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.
