PR gdb/11568 - delete thread-specific breakpoints on thread exit
PR gdb/11568 is about thread-specific breakpoints being left behind
when the corresponding thread exits.
Currently:
(gdb) b start thread 2
Breakpoint 3 at 0x400614: file thread-specific-bp.c, line 23.
(gdb) b end
Breakpoint 4 at 0x40061f: file thread-specific-bp.c, line 29.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Thread 0x7ffff7fcb700 (LWP 14925) exited]
[Switching to Thread 0x7ffff7fcc740 (LWP 14921)]
Breakpoint 4, end () at thread-specific-bp.c:29

Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400614 in start at thread-specific-bp.c:23
breakpoint already hit 1 time
3 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400614 in start at thread-specific-bp.c:23 thread 2
stop only in thread 2
4 breakpoint keep y 0x000000000040061f in end at thread-specific-bp.c:29
breakpoint already hit 1 time
Note that the thread-specific breakpoint 3 stayed around, even though
thread 2 is gone.
There's no way that breakpoint can trigger again (*), so the PR argues
that the breakpoint should just be removed, like local watchpoints.
I'm ambivalent on this -- it could be reasonable to disable the
breakpoint (kind of like breakpoint in shared library code when the
DSO is unloaded), so the user could still use it as visual template
for creating other breakpoints (copy/paste command lists, etc.), or we
could have a way to change to which thread a breakpoint applies. But,
several people pushed this direction, and I don't plan on arguing...
(*) - actually, there is ... thread numbers are reset on "run", so
the user could do "break foo thread 2", "run", and expect the
breakpoint to hit again on the second thread. But given gdb's thread
numbering can't really be stable, that'd only work sufficiently well
for thread 1, so we'd better call it unsupported.
So with the patch, whenever a thread is deleted from GDB's list, GDB
goes through the thread-specific breakpoints and deletes corresponding
breakpoints. Since this is user-visible, GDB prints out:
Thread-specific breakpoint 3 deleted - thread 2 is gone.
And of course, we end up with:
