gdb/main: execute breakpoint commands for '-iex' and '-ex' commands
Suppose we have the script file below:
break main
commands
print 123
end
run
If started with this script file, GDB executes the breakpoint command:
$ gdb -q -x myscript --args ./test
Reading symbols from ./test...
Breakpoint 1 at 0x114e: file test.c, line 2.
Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:2
2 return 0;
$1 = 123
(gdb)
However, if we remove the "run" line from the script and pass it with
the '-ex' option instead, the command is not executed:
$ gdb -q -x myscript_no_run --args ./test
Reading symbols from ./test...
Breakpoint 1 at 0x114e: file test.c, line 2.
Starting program: /path/to/test
Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:2
2 return 0;
(gdb)
If the user enters a command at this point, the breakpoint command
is executed, yielding weird output:
$ gdb -q -x myscript_no_run --args ./test
Reading symbols from ./test...
Breakpoint 1 at 0x114e: file test.c, line 2.
Starting program: /path/to/test
Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:2
2 return 0;
(gdb) print "a"
$1 = "a"
$2 = 123
When consuming script files, GDB runs bp actions after executing a
command. See `command_handler` in event-top.c:
if (c[0] != '#')
{
execute_command (command, ui->instream == ui->stdin_stream);
/* Do any commands attached to breakpoint we stopped at. */
bpstat_do_actions ();
}
However, for '-ex' commands, `bpstat_do_actions` is not invoked.
Hence, the misaligned output explained above occurs. To fix the
problem, add a call to `bpstat_do_actions` after executing a command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-12-07 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>
* main.c (catch_command_errors): Add a flag parameter; invoke
`bpstat_do_actions` if the flag is set.
(execute_cmdargs): Update a call to `catch_command_errors`.
