Reimplement support for "maint print registers" with no running inferior yet
A following patch will change the default target_thread_architecture method, like this: struct gdbarch * default_thread_architecture (struct target_ops *ops, ptid_t ptid) { - return target_gdbarch (); + inferior *inf = find_inferior_ptid (ptid); + gdb_assert (inf != NULL); + return inf->gdbarch; } This is because target_gdbarch is really just current_inferior()->gdbarch, and it's wrong to return that architecture when the inferior of the passed in PTID is NOT the current inferior -- the inferior for PTID may be running a different architecture. E.g., a mix of 64-bit and 32-bit inferiors in the same debug session. Doing that change above however exposes a problem in "maint print registers", caught be the testsuite: -PASS: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers +FAIL: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers (GDB internal error) ... gdb/inferior.c:309: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, The call stack looks like this: #0 0x000000000068b707 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...) (file=0xa9b958 "gdb/inferior.c", line=309, fmt=0xa9b8e0 "%s: Assertion `%s' failed.") at gdb/common/errors.c:54 #1 0x00000000006e1c40 in find_inferior_pid(int) (pid=0) at gdb/inferior.c:309 #2 0x00000000006e1c8d in find_inferior_ptid(ptid_t) (ptid=...) at gdb/inferior.c:323 #3 0x00000000007c18dc in default_thread_architecture(target_ops*, ptid_t) (ops=0xf86d60 <dummy_target>, ptid=...) at gdb/target.c:3134 #4 0x00000000007b5414 in delegate_thread_architecture(target_ops*, ptid_t) (self=0xf86d60 <dummy_target>, arg1=...) at gdb/target-delegates.c:2527 #5 0x00000000007647b3 in get_thread_regcache(ptid_t) (ptid=...) at gdb/regcache.c:466 #6 0x00000000007647ff in get_current_regcache() () at gdb/regcache.c:475 #7 0x0000000000767495 in regcache_print(char const*, regcache_dump_what) (args=0x0, what_to_dump=regcache_dump_none) at gdb/regcache.c:1599 #8 0x0000000000767550 in maintenance_print_registers(char const*, int) (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at gdb/regcache.c:1613 I.e., the test does "maint print registers" while the inferior is not running yet. This is expected to work, and there's already a hack in get_thread_arch_regcache to make it work. Instead of pilling on hacks in the internal of regcache and target_ops, this commit moves the null_ptid special casing to where it belongs -- higher up in the call chain in the implementation of "maint print registers" & co directly. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-10-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * regcache.c (get_thread_arch_regcache): Remove null_ptid special case. (regcache_print): Handle !target_has_registers here instead.
