Pedro Alves 69dde7dcb8 PR threads/18600: Inferiors left around after fork+thread spawn
The new gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test exposes one more
problem.  When one types "info inferiors" after running the program,
one see's a couple inferior left still, while there should only be
inferior #1 left.  E.g.:

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
   4    process 8393      /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
   2    process 8388      /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
 * 1    <null>            /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
 (gdb) info threads

Calling prune_inferiors() manually at this point (from a top gdb) does
not remove them, because they still have inf->pid != 0 (while they
shouldn't).  This suggests that we never mourned those inferiors.

Enabling logs (master + previous patch) we see:

Note the "Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 9508) exited." line.
That's this in wait_lwp:

      /* Check if the thread has exited.  */
      if (WIFEXITED (status) || WIFSIGNALED (status))
	{
	  thread_dead = 1;
	  if (debug_linux_nat)
	    fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog, "WL: %s exited.\n",
				target_pid_to_str (lp->ptid));
	}
    }

That was the leader thread reporting an exit, meaning the whole
process is gone.  So the problem is that this code doesn't understand
that an WIFEXITED status of the leader LWP should be reported to
infrun as process exit.

		   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.
