This commit builds on previous work to allow GDB to print a backtrace of itself when GDB encounters an internal-error or internal-warning. This fixes PR gdb/26377. There's not many places where we call internal_warning, and I guess in most cases the user would probably continue their debug session. And so, in order to avoid cluttering up the output, by default, printing of a backtrace is off for internal-warnings. In contrast, printing of a backtrace is on by default for internal-errors, as I figure that in most cases hitting an internal-error is going to be the end of the debug session. Whether a backtrace is printed or not can be controlled with the new settings: maintenance set internal-error backtrace on|off maintenance show internal-error backtrace maintenance set internal-warning backtrace on|off maintenance show internal-warning backtrace Here is an example of what an internal-error now looks like with the backtrace included: (gdb) maintenance internal-error blah ../../src.dev-3/gdb/maint.c:82: internal-error: blah A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. ----- Backtrace ----- 0x5c61ca gdb_internal_backtrace_1 ../../src.dev-3/gdb/bt-utils.c:123 0x5c626d _Z22gdb_internal_backtracev ../../src.dev-3/gdb/bt-utils.c:165 0xe33237 internal_vproblem ../../src.dev-3/gdb/utils.c:393 0xe33539 _Z15internal_verrorPKciS0_P13__va_list_tag ../../src.dev-3/gdb/utils.c:470 0x1549652 _Z14internal_errorPKciS0_z ../../src.dev-3/gdbsupport/errors.cc:55 0x9c7982 maintenance_internal_error ../../src.dev-3/gdb/maint.c:82 0x636f57 do_simple_func ../../src.dev-3/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:97 .... snip, lots more backtrace lines .... --------------------- ../../src.dev-3/gdb/maint.c:82: internal-error: blah A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Quit this debugging session? (y or n) y This is a bug, please report it. For instructions, see: <https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>. ../../src.dev-3/gdb/maint.c:82: internal-error: blah A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) n My hope is that this backtrace might make it slightly easier to diagnose GDB issues if all that is provided is the console output, I find that we frequently get reports of an assert being hit that is located in pretty generic code (frame.c, value.c, etc) and it is not always obvious how we might have arrived at the assert.

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.
