With the following patch applied (gdb: use frame_id_p instead of
comparing to null_frame_id in frame_info_ptr::reinflate), I would get:
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/bt-selected-frame/bt-selected-frame -ex "b breakpt" -ex r -ex "bt full"

/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame-info.c:42: internal-error: reinflate: Assertion `frame_id_p (m_cached_id)' failed.
This is because the code in backtrace_command_1 to manually reinflate
`fi` steps overs frame_info_ptr's toes.
When calling
fi.prepare_reinflate ();
`fi` gets properly filled with the cached frame id. But when this
happens:
fi = frame_find_by_id (frame_id);
`fi` gets replaced by a brand new frame_info_ptr that doesn't have a
cached frame id. Then this is called without a cached frame id:
fi.reinflate ();
That doesn't cause any problem currently, since
- the gdb_assert in the reinflate method doesn't actually do anything
(the following patch fixes that)
- `fi.m_ptr` will always be non-nullptr, since we just got it from
frame_find_by_id, so reinflate will not do anything, it won't try to
use m_cached_id
Fix that by removing the code to manually re-fetch the frame. That
should be taken care of by frame_info_ptr::reinflate.
Note that the old code checked if we successfully re-inflated the frame
or not, and if not it did emit a warning. The equivalent in
frame_info_ptr::reinflate asserts that the frame has been successfully
re-inflated. It's not clear if / when this can happen, but if it can
happen, we'll need to find a solution to this problem globally
(everywhere a frame_info_ptr can be re-inflated), not just here. So I
propose to leave it like this, until it does become a problem.
