For instance, here is a case where we quit in the middle of handling an inferior exit: $ gdb ./a.out Reading symbols from ./a.out... (gdb) set height 2 (gdb) run Starting program: ./a.out --Type for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--q Quit Couldn't get registers: No such process. (gdb) set height unlimited Couldn't get registers: No such process. (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 process 27098 Couldn't get registers: No such process. Couldn't get registers: No such process. (gdb) Or suppose having a multi-threaded program like below: static void * fun (void *dummy) { int a = 1; /* break-here */ return NULL; } int main (void) { pthread_t thread; pthread_create (&thread, NULL, fun, NULL); pthread_join (thread, NULL); return 0; } If we define a breakpoint at line "break-here", we expect only Thread 2 to hit it. $ gdb ./a.out Reading symbols from ./a.out... (gdb) break 7 Breakpoint 1 at 0x1182: file mt.c, line 7. (gdb) set height 2 (gdb) run Starting program: ./a.out [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". [New Thread 0x7ffff77c4700 (LWP 23048)] --Type for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--q Quit (gdb) set height unlimited (gdb) info thread Id Target Id Frame * 1 Thread 0x7ffff7fe3740 (LWP 23044) "a.out" 0x00007ffff7bbed2d in ... 2 Thread 0x7ffff77c4700 (LWP 23048) "a.out" fun (dummy=0x0) at mt.c:7 (gdb) The prompt for continuation was triggered because Thread 2 hit the breakpoint. (If we had hit 'c', we were going to see that stop event, but we didn't.) The context did not switch to Thread 2. GDB also did not execute several other things it would normally do in infrun.c:normal_stop after outputting "[Switching to Thread ...]" (but it seems harmless in this case). If we 'continue' at this state, both threads run until termination, and we don't see the breakpoint hit event ever. Here is another related and more complicated scenario that leads to a GDB crash. Create two inferiors, one sitting on top of a native target, and the other on a remote target, so that we have a multi-target setting, like so: (gdb) i inferiors Num Description Connection Executable 1 process 13786 1 (native) a.out * 2 process 13806 2 (remote ...) target:a.out Next, resume both inferiors to run until termination: (gdb) set schedule-multiple on (gdb) set height 2 (gdb) continue Continuing. --Type for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--[Inferior 2 (process 13806) exited normally] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error' Aborted Here, GDB first received a termination event from Inferior 1. GDB attempted to print this event, triggering a "prompt for continue", and GDB started polling for events, hoping to get an input from the user. However, the exit event from Inferior 2 was received instead. So, GDB started processing an exit event while being in the middle of processing another exit event. It was not ready for this situation and eventually crashed. To address these cases, temporarily disable pagination in fetch_inferior_event. This doesn't affect commands like 'info threads', 'backtrace', or 'thread apply'.
