  With this patch, we e.g. get:
  [New Thread 0x7ffff701b700 (LWP 13891) "sleepers"]
  [Switching to thread 2 (Thread 0x7ffff781c700 (LWP 13890) "sleepers")]
instead of:
  [New Thread 0x7ffff701b700 (LWP 13918)]
  [Switching to thread 2 (Thread 0x7ffff781c700 (LWP 13917))]

For Ada tasks, we e.g. get:
  [Switching to task 2 task_list(1)]
  [Current task is 2 task_list(1)]
instead of
  [Switching to task 2]
  [Current task is 2]

Except for Ada, the names are only available on some platforms, right?
Should we mention that in the manual?

The documentation parts are OK, apart of that nit.

Thanks.

Thanks.  I'm mildly surprised this works at thread-announce time, since
I thought the thread had to be created before it could be given a name.
Maybe it is racy?  (FWIW it is fine if it is.)  Or maybe I'm mistaken
and there's a way to name a thread before pthread_create.

This should be "extern std::string thread_target_id_str (...);".

However, could this just be a method on thread_info?  I think that would
be preferable.  I think it's not much more work.

Are there spots calling target_pid_to_str that do not want to call the
new function?

thanks,

On linux, the thread gets a default name at creation time.
I think this default name is derived from the executable name for the main thread,
or is equal to the creator thread name (if the new thread is not the main thread).

Yes, that was easy to do.

We have different "spot kinds" calling target_pid_to_str.
Some spots have a thread_info*, they get the ptid from this thread_info
to call target_pid_to_str.  These are trivial to convert.

Some spots have just a ptid.  Calling thread_target_id_str implies to
convert the ptid to a thread_info*.  This can return a null ptr, and so
could lead to a problem.
Maybe we could define a new function such as:
    target_pid_to_thr_id_str (ptid)
that tries to convert ptid to a thread_info*.
If it finds one, then it returns thread_target_id_str (th)
otherwise it returns target_pid_to_str (ptid).

This should be a relatively mechanical and not risky change, but we
have about 200 calls to target_pid_to_str in various user messages
and (mostly) debug info.

What do you think ?

Philippe

Note: gdbserver has its own struct thread_info (in gdb/gdbserver/gdbthread.h)
and its own target_pid_to_str (in gdb/gdbserver/target.c).
These target_pid_to_str calls are only for debug info, except one call
in an error message.
This patch does not touch the gdbserver side.

BTW, if you're looking at improving this, take a look what I was
proposing here:

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-04/msg00448.html

 (gdb) r
 Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/schedlock/schedlock 
 [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
 Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
 [Thread 1.2 (0x7ffff74b8700 (LWP 13984) "sleepers") appeared]
 [Thread 1.2 (0x7ffff74b8700 (LWP 13984) "sleepers") exited]
 [Inferior 1 (process 13980) exited normally]
 (gdb)

Specifically, I think it'd be quite useful to show the thread's
gdb number.  I'd say that is more useful than the thread name, even,
because you can use "info threads" to find the name from the unique
gdb id, but converse isn't so easy.

The commit's description talks about thread names, but
note that thread_target_id_str prints more than the name -- it also
prints the thread's extra info.

Thanks,

I think when I wrote that line, I hadn't yet appreciated that the patch
was just exposing a previously private function.  So, while it may still
make sense to switch other calls to use it, I don't think it is a
requirement for this patch.

Pedro and Tom,
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.
I will see how to go on with this.
Maybe the best is to do this in 3 different patches:
   * a patch adding the Ada task name where relevant
   * a patch adding in the thread events the thread name
     and the other things suggested by Pedro
   * a third patch that replaces (where relevant) target_pid_to_str
     by something like target_pid_to_thr_id_str

Philippe

I am wondering what is the best way to implement this.

Currently, thread_target_id_str calls the target pid_to_str
and some other target functions, and builds the result.

On linux, for a thread, pid_to_str returns
   Thread 0x7ffff7fcf700 (LWP 31607)

It is not very clear what is the best way to add the GDB qualified
thread id in this message.

First, the target pid_to_str cannot unconditionally add the qualified
thread id, otherwise 'info threads' would show it in double, such as:

(gdb) info thread
  Id   Target Id                                       Frame 
  1.1  Thread 1.1 0x7ffff7fcf700 (LWP 4725) "sleepers" 0x00007ffff78fe603 in select () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84
...

Also, target pid_to_str does not always return a message starting
with "Thread ...".  When there is only the main thread, it returns rather something like:
(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id                  Frame 
* 1    process 4816 "trivialleak" main () at trivialleak.c:12

Also, it looks somewhat ugly to have target <something>_to_str returning a string
which contains GDB specific numbering.

I started by adding a 'bool show_id' in the target pid_to_str, where SHOW_ID indicates
to add the 'GDB id' after Thread. This means (of course) to change all targets.
And it is not very clear what to do with SHOW_ID when rather the Target Id is
a process : should we show the inferior NUM ? Even when there is only one inferior ?
That does not look very nice.

Another idea could be to add a 'bool Title' to target pid_to_str,
where TITLE indicates to put or not the 'title'.  Title being either
'Thread ' or 'process '.

Then the caller of pid_to_str can itself add the relevant title followed by the
GDB id followed by the target pid_to_str result.

This however implies to have a way to decide which kind of title should be added.
Moreover, some target are creative in the way they implement pid_to_str.
For example, bsd-uthread.c uses "process %d, thread 0x%lx" for a thread pid_to_str,
darwin uses "Thread 0x%lx of process %u"
fbsd-nat.c uses "LWP %d of process %d"
linux-nat.c uses "LWP %ld" while linux-thread-db.c uses "Thread 0x%lx (LWP %ld)"
sol-thread.c differentiates a process, a thread and a LWP.
....

Also, different methods are used by the targets to see if a ptid is a 'process'
or a 'thread' ptid (or event an 'LWP' ptid, in the case of solaris).

Maybe we can have another function thread_info::thread_info_to_str
that insert some postfix identification, such as:
   [Thread 0x7ffff7518700 (LWP 7194) "break-while-run" appeared. Id 2.1]
and call it in the various thread event messages, and keep thread_id_to_str unchanged ?

So, not clear what to do.

Philippe


While I was testing all the above, I encountered 2 bugs that can be reproduced
by doing

  cd /path/to/a/gdb/build/directory
  gdb
  source x.gdb
 
where x.gdb is:

# set trace-command on
set height unlimited
# set debug libthread-db 1
file gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/break-while-running/break-while-running
shell ps

# if you insert this break, then you will not be able to run
# the inferior 2, as it can never insert the breakpoint.
# It fails with :
#    Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
#    Cannot access memory at address 0xa96
# while the breakpoint in inferior 1 is at address 0x0000555555554a96

##########  break break-while-running.c:95

echo **************** \n
echo As breakpoint insert fails, type C-c for inferior 1 in a second or so ...\n
echo **************** \n
run

# list threads (we only have inferior 1)
info threads

add-inferior
inferior 2
file gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/break-while-running/break-while-running

# the below info thread is what causes the libthread db to not be seen by GDB.
# list threads (we have inferior 1, and a not running inferior 2)
info threads

echo **************** \n
echo As breakpoint insert fails, type C-c for inferior 2 in a second or so ...\n
echo **************** \n

# And so the below runs inferior 1 with linux-nat target, not with
# linux-thread-db target
run

# and so the below info threads shows one inferior with
#  Thread 0x .... (LWP ...)
# and the other with
#  LWP ...  (once threads are present)
info threads
