Hi,
in some cases with deleted main executable GDB will want to kill the inferior.
$ cp /bin/sleep /tmp/sleep;/tmp/sleep 1h&p=$!
$ rm /tmp/sleep
$ gdb /tmp/sleep $p
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.10.50.20151016-cvs
/tmp/sleep: No such file or directory.
Attaching to process 9694
/tmp/sleep (deleted): No such file or directory.
A program is being debugged already. Kill it? (y or n) _
The first attachment of "/tmp/sleep" commandline argument errors at:
267 if (scratch_chan < 0)
268 perror_with_name (filename);
1051 if (catch_command_errors_const (exec_file_attach, execarg,
1052 !batch_flag))
Then GDB tries to attach to the process $p:
1082 if (catch_command_errors (attach_command, pid_or_core_arg,
1083 !batch_flag) == 0)
This succeeds and since this moment GDB has a valid inferior. But despite that
the lines
1082 if (catch_command_errors (attach_command, pid_or_core_arg,
1083 !batch_flag) == 0)
still fail because consequently attach_command() fails to find the associated
executable file:
267 if (scratch_chan < 0)
268 perror_with_name (filename);
1082 if (catch_command_errors (attach_command, pid_or_core_arg,
1083 !batch_flag) == 0)
and therefore GDB executes the following:
(gdb) bt
2179 if (have_inferiors ())
2180 {
2181 if (!from_tty
2182 || !have_live_inferiors ()
2183 || query (_("A program is being debugged already. Kill it? ")))
2184 iterate_over_inferiors (dispose_inferior, NULL);
2185 else
2186 error (_("Program not killed."));
2187 }
1084 catch_command_errors (core_file_command, pid_or_core_arg,
1085 !batch_flag);
No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora24pre-linux-gnu.
Thanks,
Jan
