Subject: gdb-rhbz1909902-frame_id_p-assert-1.patch
;; Backport fix for frame_id_p assertion failure (RH BZ 1909902).
Make scoped_restore_current_thread's cdtors exception free (RFC)
If the remote target closes while we're reading registers/memory for
restoring the selected frame in scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor,
the corresponding TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error is swallowed by the
scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor, because letting exceptions
escape from a dtor is bad. It isn't great to lose that errors like
that, though. I've been thinking about how to avoid it, and I came up
with this patch.
The idea here is to make scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor do as
little as possible, to avoid any work that might throw in the first
place. And to do that, instead of having the dtor call
restore_selected_frame, which re-finds the previously selected frame,
just record the frame_id/level of the desired selected frame, and have
get_selected_frame find the frame the next time it is called. In
effect, this implements most of Cagney's suggestion, here:
/* On demand, create the selected frame and then return it. If the
selected frame can not be created, this function prints then throws
an error. When MESSAGE is non-NULL, use it for the error message,
otherwize use a generic error message. */
/* FIXME: cagney/2002-11-28: At present, when there is no selected
frame, this function always returns the current (inner most) frame.
It should instead, when a thread has previously had its frame
selected (but not resumed) and the frame cache invalidated, find
and then return that thread's previously selected frame. */
extern struct frame_info *get_selected_frame (const char *message);
The only thing missing to fully implement that would be to make
reinit_frame_cache just clear selected_frame instead of calling
select_frame(NULL), and the call select_frame(NULL) explicitly in the
places where we really wanted reinit_frame_cache to go back to the
current frame too. That can done separately, though, I'm not
proposing to do that in this patch.
Note that this patch renames restore_selected_frame to
lookup_selected_frame, and adds a new restore_selected_frame function
that doesn't throw, to be paired with the also-new save_selected_frame
function.
There's a restore_selected_frame function in infrun.c that I think can
be replaced by the new one in frame.c.
Also done in this patch is make the get_selected_frame's parameter be
optional, so that we don't have to pass down nullptr explicitly all
over the place.
lookup_selected_frame should really move from thread.c to frame.c, but
I didn't do that here, just to avoid churn in the patch while it
collects comments. I did make it extern and declared it in frame.h
already, preparing for the move. I will do the move as a follow up
patch if people agree with this approach.
Incidentally, this patch alone would fix the crashes fixed by the
previous patches in the series, because with this,
scoped_restore_current_thread's constructor doesn't throw either.
