When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets. Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1, 2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2 exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't ever happen. This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that around the cases that need it, which currently is only infrun.c:stop_all_threads. In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to themselves start new threads, killing the race. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2015-11-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): List "set/show remote thread-events" command in configuration table.

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.
