A following patch will add a testcase that has a number of threads constantly stepping over a breakpoint, and then has GDB detach the process. That testcase sometimes fails with the inferior crashing with SIGTRAP after the detach because of the bug fixed by this patch, when tested with the native target. The problem is that target_detach removes breakpoints from the target immediately, and that does not work with the native GNU/Linux target (and probably no other native target) currently. The test wouldn't fail with this issue when testing against gdbserver, because gdbserver does allow accessing memory while the current thread is running, by transparently pausing all threads temporarily, without GDB noticing. Implementing that in gdbserver was a lot of work, so I'm not looking forward right now to do the same in the native target. Instead, I came up with a simpler solution -- push the breakpoints removal down to the targets. The Linux target conveniently already pauses all threads before detaching them, since PTRACE_DETACH only works with stopped threads, so we move removing breakpoints to after that. Only the remote and GNU/Linux targets support support async execution, so no other target should really need this. gdb/ChangeLog: * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_target::detach): Remove breakpoints here... * remote.c (remote_target::remote_detach_1): ... and here ... * target.c (target_detach): ... instead of here.
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.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
