Pedro Alves 93d6eb10ed Remove the target from the event loop while in secondary prompts
If a pagination prompt triggers while the target is running, and the
target exits before the user responded to the pagination query, this
happens:

  Starting program: foo
  ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---No unwaited-for children left.
  Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  (gdb) Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  (gdb)

To reiterate, the user hasn't replied to the pagination prompt above.

A pagination query nests an event loop (in gdb_readline_wrapper).  In
async mode, in addition to stdin and signal handlers, we'll have the
target also installed in the event loop still.  So if the target
reports an event, that wakes up the nested event loop, which calls
into fetch_inferior_event etc. to handle the event which generates
further output, all while we should be waiting for pagination
confirmation...

(TBC, any target event that generates output ends up spuriously waking
up the pagination, though exits seem to be the worse kind.)

I've played with a couple different approaches to fixing this, while
at the same time trying to avoid being invasive.  Both revolve around
not listening to target events while in a pagination prompt (doing
anything else I think would be a much bigger change).

The approach taken just removes the target from the event loop while
within gdb_readline_wrapper.  The other approach used gdb_select
directly, with only input_fd installed, but that had the issue that it
didn't handle the async signal handlers, and turned out to be a bit
more code than the first version.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
