GDB kills itself instead of interrupting inferior When GDB is run with IO redirected to a pipe, the 'interrupt' command causes it to kill its own process group instead of the inferior's. The problem manifests itself in async mode, native debugging: $ cat | gdb <file> (gdb) set target-async on (gdb) run & (gdb) interrupt A debugging session is active. Inferior 1 [process 20584] will be killed. Quit anyway? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal] In this case, GDB tells that its stdin isn't a tty and doesn't save the inferior's process group in inflow.c:terminal_init_inferior_with_pgrp. The 'interrupt' command tries to 'kill' the inferior's process group in `inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop`, but since that wasn't saved in the first place, GDB kills process group 0, meaning, its own process group. When GDB is used from a frontend, that means killing its own process group including the frontend and possibly the X session. This was originally seen with SublimeGDB: https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeGDB/issues/29. The patch makes GDB save the inferior pgid regardless of having a terminal, as pgid is used not only to reset foreground process group, but also to interrupt the inferior process. It also adds a regression test. Luckily, we can emulate not having a terminal with "set interactive-mode off", avoiding the need of special magic to spawn gdb with a pipe. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17. gdb/ 2013-07-26 Cyril Nikolaev <cyril@nichtverstehen.de> * inflow.c (terminal_init_inferior_with_pgrp): Save inferior process group regardless of having tty on stdin. gdb/testsuite/ 2013-07-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/interrupt-noterm.c, gdb.base/interrupt-noterm.exp: New files.
