From 38dc2859c464733314c591d30a5359db20167f7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pedro Alves Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2017 18:44:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix stdin ending up not registered after a Quit If you press Ctrl-C while GDB is processing breakpoint commands the TRY/CATCH in inferior_event_handler catches the Quit exception and prints it, and then if the interpreter was running a foreground execution command, nothing re-adds stdin back in the event loop, meaning the debug session ends up busted, because the user can't type anything... This was exposed by the new gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp testcase added later in the series. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-16 Pedro Alves * inf-loop.c (inferior_event_handler): Don't swallow the exception if the prompt is blocked. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 5 +++++ gdb/inf-loop.c | 10 +++++++++- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 23403b6cfef..766d1531de5 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2017-11-16 Pedro Alves + + * inf-loop.c (inferior_event_handler): Don't swallow the exception + if the prompt is blocked. + 2017-11-16 Pedro Alves * breakpoint.c (insert_bp_location): Replace bp_err and diff --git a/gdb/inf-loop.c b/gdb/inf-loop.c index bb9fa011ee2..1d573b947d4 100644 --- a/gdb/inf-loop.c +++ b/gdb/inf-loop.c @@ -73,7 +73,15 @@ inferior_event_handler (enum inferior_event_type event_type, } CATCH (e, RETURN_MASK_ALL) { - exception_print (gdb_stderr, e); + /* If the user was running a foreground execution + command, then propagate the error so that the prompt + can be reenabled.
