  Using the test program gdb.base/foll-fork.c, with follow-fork-mode
set to "child" and detach-on-fork set to "on", stepping past the
fork call results in the child process running to completion, when
it should just finish the single step.

This is the result of how the single-step state is transferred from
the parent to the child in infrun.c:follow_fork.  For the parent, the
single-step breakpoint is marked as "inserted" (bp->loc->inserted).
The breakpoint is transferred to the child, where it clearly has never
been inserted.  So when the child process is resumed, GDB doesn't insert
the breakpoint and the process runs to completion.

The solution is to clear the "inserted" flag when the single-step
breakpoint is associated with the child process.

Along with the fix above, the coverage of the follow-fork test
gdb.base/foll-fork.exp was expanded to:

1) cover all the combinations of values for
   follow-fork-mode and detach-on-fork

2) make sure that both user breakpoints and
   single-step breakpoints are propagated
   correctly to the child

3) check that the inferior list has the
   expected contents after following the fork.

This was tested by running the testsuite on a Linux x64 system.

Don

Was it removed from the parent already at this point?  If so,
why is it still marked as inserted?  If not, then it would sound
like your patch would make us miss removing it.

Thanks. That is a nice addition.

Maybe add a little more context as to why this conditional is doing what 
it is doing? I imagine someone scratching their head to figure this out. 
Your description above makes good sense.

Instead of hardcoding calls to tests, what about creating a list of 
permutations (follow mode, detach on fork, execution command) and using 
them inside a for loop?

That may be a bit cleaner, but i'm not totally against these calls.

The rest of the test looks good to me.

Yes, by the time the 'inserted' flag is cleared, the breakpoint has been
removed from the parent.  The flag is set because the child's breakpoint
is a clone of the parent's breakpoint that was created before the
parent's breakpoint was removed.

The step-resume breakpoint is cloned from the parent's copy earlier in
the function, bringing the value of the 'inserted' flag along with it.
Then the parent's breakpoint is deleted, with the side-effect of
removing it.

From infrun.c:follow_fork:

	[...here 'tp' is the parent thread...]
        if (follow_child && should_resume)
          {
            step_resume_breakpoint = clone_momentary_breakpoint
                                 (tp->control.step_resume_breakpoint);
	    [...]
            delete_step_resume_breakpoint (tp);
	    [...here bkpt has been removed from the parent...]
          }
	[...calls target_follow_fork...]
            /* If we followed the child, switch to it...  */
            if (follow_child)
              {
                switch_to_thread (child);

                /* ... and preserve the stepping state, in case the
                   user was stepping over the fork call.  */
                if (should_resume)
                  {
                    tp = inferior_thread ();
                    tp->control.step_resume_breakpoint
                      = step_resume_breakpoint;
		    [...this only affects the child process...]
                    if (tp->control.step_resume_breakpoint != NULL)
                      tp->control.step_resume_breakpoint->loc->inserted = 0;

Does that explanation make sense?

Luis suggests adding a comment that explains why the flag is cleared.
Would that be sufficient?

Thanks

It actually hasn't.

No, when the parent's breakpoint is deleted, nothing is removed,
because the child's breakpoint, being a clone of the parent's is
still associated with the parent thread and pspace, so the breakpoints
module considers it a duplicate of the parent's sr breakpoint.
So, when we delete the parent breakpoint, given the child's is
around, we don't actually remove the breakpoint from the
target.  We just happen to remove the new _child_'s breakpoint
from the parent a bit later when we detach the parent, again
because the child's is still associated with the parent:

It hasn't here no.  This is all quite brittle.  :-/

I think we should instead make the clone be disabled to begin with,
so that it isn't marked as duplicate/inserted, and then re-enable it
