  Changes from v2 (addressing Pedro's comments):

- Greatly improved the commit message by adding several examples of
  output with the patch.

- Made "[Inferior %d (process %d)...]" messages uniform.

- Added message to kill event.

- Removed periods from messages.

- Renamed testcase.

- Applied Pedro's patch to improve testcase readability and fix a typo
  on infrun.c.

- Made the new test work on native-extended-gdbserver.

- Adjusted several more testcases due to changes in the messages.



This is a followup of Pedro's suggestion to turn 'set print
inferior-events' always on, and do some cleanup on the messages
printed by GDB when various inferior events happen (attach, detach,
fork, kill, exit).

To make sure that the patch is correct, I've tested it with a handful
of combinations of 'set follow-fork-mode', 'set detach-on-fork' and
'set print inferior-events'.  In the end, I decided to make my
hand-made test into an official testcase.  More on that below.

Using the following program as an example:

  #include <unistd.h>
  int main ()
  {
    fork ();
    return 0;
  }

We see the following outputs from the patched GDB:

- With 'set print inferior-events on':

    (gdb) r
    Starting program: a.out
    [Detaching after fork from child process 27749]
    [Inferior 1 (process 27745) exited normally]
    (gdb)

- With 'set print inferior-events off':

    (gdb) r
    Starting program: a.out
    [Inferior 1 (process 27823) exited normally]
    (gdb)

  Comparing this against an unpatched GDB:

- With 'set print inferior-events off' and 'set follow-fork-mode
  child':

    (gdb) r
    Starting program: a.out
    [Inferior 2 (process 5993) exited normally]
    (gdb)

  Compare this against an unpatched GDB:

    (unpatched-gdb) r
    Starting program: a.out
    [New process 5702]
    [Inferior 2 (process 5702) exited normally]
    (unpatched-gdb)

  It is possible to notice that, in this scenario, the patched GDB
  will lose the '[New process %d]' message.

- With 'set print inferior-events on', 'set follow-fork-mode child'
  and 'set detach-on-fork on':

    (gdb) r
    Starting program: a.out
    [Attaching after process 27905 fork to child process 27905]
    [New inferior 2 (process 27909)]
    [Detaching after fork from parent process 27905]
    [Inferior 1 (process 27905) detached]
    [Inferior 2 (process 27909) exited normally]
    (gdb)

  Compare this output with an unpatched GDB, using the same settings:

    (unpatched-gdb) r
    Starting program: a.out
    [New inferior 28033]
    [Inferior 28029 detached]
    [New process 28033]
    [Inferior 2 (process 28033) exited normally]
    [Inferior 28033 exited]
    (unpatched-gdb)

As can be seen above, I've also made a few modifications to messages
that are printed when 'set print inferior-events' is on.  For example,
a few of the messages did not contain the '[' and ']' as
prefix/suffix, which led to a few inconsistencies like:

  Attaching after process 22995 fork to child process 22995.
  [New inferior 22999]
  Detaching after fork from child process 22999.
  [Inferior 22995 detached]
  [Inferior 2 (process 22999) exited normally]

So I took the opportunity and included the square brackets where
applicable.  I have also made the existing messages more uniform, by
always printing "Inferior %d (process %d)..." where applicable.  This
makes it easier to identify the inferior number and the PID number
from the messages.

As suggested by Pedro, the "[Inferior %d exited]" message from
'exit_inferior' has been removed, because it got duplicated when
'inferior-events' is on.  I'm also using the
'add_{thread,inferior}_silent' versions (instead of their verbose
counterparts) on some locations, also to avoid duplicated messages.
For example, a patched GDB with 'set print inferior-events on', 'set
detach-on-fork on' and 'set follow-fork-mode child', but using
'add_thread', would print:

  (gdb) run
  Starting program: a.out
  [Attaching after process 25088 fork to child process 25088.]
  [New inferior 25092]   <--- duplicated
  [Detaching after fork from child process 25092.]
  [Inferior 25088 detached]
  [New process 25092]    <--- duplicated
  [Inferior 2 (process 25092) exited normally]

But if we use 'add_thread_silent' (with the same configuration as
before):

  (gdb) run
  Starting program: a.out
  [Attaching after process 26807 fork to child process 26807.]
  [New inferior 26811]
  [Detaching after fork from child process 26811.]
  [Inferior 26807 detached]
  [Inferior 2 (process 26811) exited normally]

As for the tests, the configuration options being exercised are:

- follow-fork-mode: child/parent
- detach-on-fork: on/off
- print inferior-events: on/off

It was also necessary to perform adjustments on several testcases,
because the expected messages changed considerably.

Built and regtested on BuildBot, without regressions.

I still think the "inferior PID" messages are misleading,
because PID is not the inferior number.  I think it would be
better if they read something like:

    [Attaching after process 26807 fork to child process 26807.]
-   [New inferior 26811]
+   [New inferior 2 (process 26811)]
    [Detaching after fork from child process 26811.]
-   [Inferior 26807 detached]
+   [Inferior 1 (process 26807) detached]
    [Inferior 2 (process 26811) exited normally]

I.e.:

    [Attaching after process 26807 fork to child process 26807.]
    [New inferior 2 (process 26811)]
    [Detaching after fork from child process 26811.]
    [Inferior 1 (process 26807) detached]
    [Inferior 2 (process 26811) exited normally]

Please consider fixing that at the same time.

The "process %d" part should be using target_pid_to_str instead.
Not all targets have the concept of a "process" (e.g., when remote
debugging a bare metal system), or have access to the actual pid
number (older gdbservers).  In such case, the above prints
the fake internal magic process id (magic_null_ptid).  E.g.:

 $ ./gdb -q --batch -ex "set remote multiprocess-feature-packet off" -ex "tar rem :9999" -ex "info inferiors" -ex "kill"
   Num  Description       Executable        
 * 1    Remote target     gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Kill the program being debugged? (y or n)
 [Inferior 1 (process 42000) has been killed]
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You'll need to capture the target_pid_to_str output
before killing, otherwise after target_kill the target
might no longer be pushed on the target stack.

This pattern appears in several places in the patch.  

The fork-related paths should be fine to print inf->pid directly,
since fork implies support for multiple processes.

Changes like this appear several times in the patch -- can you
expand on why they're needed?

There should be a comment above this mentioning what
wouldn't work with gdbserver, since it's not obvious to
me.  (I think we may have gone through that in a previous
iteration, but it'd be better if the reason was written
down here).

Note: it's not "on gdbserver", it's on "target remote" stubs.
gdbserver+extended-remote works.  And there are stubs others
than gdbserver.

This is probably racy and I'd a prefer a better fix that
avoids it.  Why did you need it?  What/how does the failure
look like without this?  Why does it happen?

BTW, those two PIDs being the same looks suspicious.  Is that
another instance of a parent vs child mixup?  Or is that the case
that is fixed by the patch?

Sorry, I believe I forgot to update this part of the commit message.
The current patch already fixes this problem, so we actually see:

  [Attaching after process 19317 fork to child process 19317]                                    
  [New inferior 2 (process 19321)]               
  [Detaching after fork from parent process 19317]                                               
  [Inferior 1 (process 19317) detached]          
  [Inferior 2 (process 19321) exited normally]   

I'll make sure to update the commit log.

They actually appear twice, both on catch-syscall.exp.  They're needed
because now we print the following line during the test:

  (gdb) continue
  Continuing.
  [Detaching after vfork from child process 22282] <--- THIS LINE
  [Inferior 1 (process 22281) exited normally]

And therefore we need to inform the gdb_continue_to_end procedure to
expect extra cruft after the "continue" command is issued.

Alright, here's what I added:

  # This test relies on "run", so it cannot run on target remote stubs.
  if { [use_gdb_stub] } {
      untested "not supported on target remote stubs"
      return
  }

You're right, this is racy, now that I see it again I understand it
won't necessarily work in all cases.

This was needed because of the following situation:

  (gdb) detach
  Detaching from program: /dir/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching/process-dies-while-detaching-1-detach, process 25193
  signaled, sig=9  <--- THIS LINE
  [Inferior 1 (process 25193) detached]
  (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: multi-process: detach: killed outside: detach parent

As you can see, the line marked as "THIS LINE" above is sometimes
printed in the middle of GDB's output, which confuses dejagnu.  It's
important to say that this is also racy: the failure doesn't happen
every time the test is run.

I guess a "better" solution would be to expect extra output between the
"Detaching..." and "[Inferior...]" messages.  This would mean more
complicated regexps, though.

Ah, good catch.  After some time investigating, I found that the problem
occurs because the code is now calling target_pid_to_str twice in the
same statement, but target_pid_to_str actually returns a static string,
which means that this string is overwritten when the second call
happens:

	  fprintf_filtered (gdb_stdlog,
			    _("[Attaching after %s %s to child %s]\n"),
			    target_pid_to_str (parent_ptid),  <-- HERE
			    has_vforked ? "vfork" : "fork",
			    target_pid_to_str (child_ptid));  <-- AND HERE

I fixed this by saving a copy of both strings before calling
fprintf_filtered.

I'll send an updated patch soon.

Thanks,
