/* An event loop listens for events from multiple event sources. When
|
|
an event arrives, it is queued and processed by calling the
|
|
appropriate event handler. The event loop then continues to listen
|
|
for more events. An event loop completes when there are no event
|
|
sources to listen on. External event sources can be plugged into
|
|
the loop.
|
|
|
|
There are 3 main components:
|
|
- a list of file descriptors to be monitored, GDB_NOTIFIER.
|
|
- a list of events that have occurred, EVENT_QUEUE.
|
|
- a list of signal handling functions, SIGHANDLER_LIST.
|
|
|
|
GDB_NOTIFIER keeps track of the event sources. Event sources for
|
|
gdb are currently the UI and the target. Gdb communicates with the
|
|
command line user interface via the readline library and usually
|
|
communicates with remote targets via a serial port. Serial ports
|
|
are represented in GDB as file descriptors and select/poll calls.
|
|
For native targets instead, the communication consists of calls to
|
|
ptrace and waits (via signals) or calls to poll/select (via file
|
|
descriptors). In the current gdb, the code handling events related
|
|
to the target resides in the wait_for_inferior function and in
|
|
various target specific files (*-tdep.c).
|
|
|
|
EVENT_QUEUE keeps track of the events that have happened during the
|
|
last iteration of the event loop, and need to be processed. An
|
|
event is represented by a procedure to be invoked in order to
|
|
process the event. The queue is scanned head to tail. If the
|
|
event of interest is a change of state in a file descriptor, then a
|
|
call to poll or select will be made to detect it.
|
|
|
|
If the events generate signals, they are also queued by special
|
|
functions that are invoked through traditional signal handlers.
|
|
The actions to be taken is response to such events will be executed
|
|
when the SIGHANDLER_LIST is scanned, the next time through the
|
|
infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
Corollary tasks are the creation and deletion of event sources. */
