From FEDORA_PATCHES Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fedora GDB patches Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 21:07:50 +0200 Subject: gdb-bz1219747-attach-kills.patch ;; Never kill PID on: gdb exec PID (Jan Kratochvil, RH BZ 1219747). ;;=push+jan http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-10/msg00301.html 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.
