  Changes from v3:

- Revisited commit log and fixed wrong copy&paste from GDB output.

- Use target_pid_to_str where applicable.  Use
  gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> to save results from
  target_pid_to_str in some cases.

- Add comment on testsuite about not being able to run on target
  remote stubs.

- Try another approach on gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp
  in order to avoid racy conditions with GDB output.


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 27909]
    [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 22999.
  [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 25092.]
  [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 31606 fork to child process 31610]
  [New inferior 2 (process 31610)]
  [Detaching after fork from parent process 31606]
  [Inferior 1 (process 31606) detached]
  [Inferior 2 (process 31610) 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.

Sorry, this patch has a few regressions I forgot to fix.  I thought it
was regression-free, but I'm now seeing the BuildBot messages.  I'll
send an updated patch soon.

Arguably target_pid_to_str implementations should be
using get_print_cell instead of a single static buffer, avoiding
the problem.  But that's a larger change, so local copy is fine
with me.

This still seem risky -- Target backends use target_pid_to_str inside
target_kill, e.g., when logging is enabled.  E.g., 

linux_nat_kill -> -> stop_callback -> target_pid_to_str

ISTM a deep copy like:

  std::string pid_str = target_pid_to_str (inferior_ptid);

would be safer/better.

As discussed in a previous revision, using hardcoded "(process %d)"
doesn't work properly, because PID can be a fake PID number, or the
target may have no concept of processes, e.g., when debugging remote
targets.  ISTRM this should use target_pid_to_str as well.

Ditto.

std::string would be simpler than gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr here:

	  std::string parent_pid = target_pid_to_str (parent_ptid));
	  std::string child_pid = target_pid_to_str (child_ptid));

gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr is handy when you have no way around
malloc/free, but here you're in charge of the dup yourself.

Hardcoded "(process %d)" here too.

Fixing this issue in the several spots may affect your
testsuite changes -- please be sure to rerun tests with 
"target remote" afterwards.

I'm not sure I understand the need for this.  If you left this
gdb_test_multiple exactly as it was before your patch, wouldn't it all
work the same?

Fair enough, I'll change it.

That's true, I apologize for overlooking this one.  And I also noticed
the problem with including the "process" string before, that's why I
sent the message "cancelling" this patch.

That's true.  I guess I wasn't thinking in C++ terms.

As I said in the other message, the problem here is that
${inf_output_re} can happen between the two messages.  For example:

  Detaching from program: .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching/process-dies-while-detaching-1-detach, process 7440
  exited, status=0
  [Inferior 1 (process 7440) detached]

In this case, leave gdb_test_multiple as it was before doesn't catch
this case, which leads to a racy failure.  However, I noticed that my
patch also doesn't fix the failure (I thought it did, but then I saw it
happening again on the BuildBot).  That's another reason why I
"cancelled" this version of the patch.

I'm trying to come up with another solution for this race, but so far I
haven't had much success.  Of course, if you have any ideas feel free to
suggest them.  Otherwise, I'll see what I can do during the weekend (I'm
on PTO today).

Thanks,

I'm not sure I get it -- why does it need to catch it?

The original gdb_test_multiple matches the first line:

"Detaching from program: .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching/process-dies-while-detaching-1-detach, process 7440"

and stops here, there's no $gdb_prompt anchor.  And then, the loop below
should consume both the inferior output and the gdb prompt.

My question is then, why do you need to expect the
 "[Inferior 1 (process 7440) detached]"
part in this test at all?

Also please try these racy issues with "make check-read1".

Thanks,

Thanks for the message.

I guess I was confusing things, then.  I updated all regexps to expect
the "[Inferior ... detached]" message after the "Detaching ...", because
that's what GDB will print.  But in this specific case, as you noticed,
it's not necessary.  I reverted the testcase back to its original form,
and am running a loop to make sure there's no racy test, but I think
it should be enough to just it as is.

I did this, and found no racy issues.

I'll run another full regression test on BuildBot, and resubmit the
patch.

Thanks,
