Here's a fix, test included. Comments? Thanks, Pedro Alves -------------------------- [PATCH] gdb/17347 - Regression: GDB stopped on run with attached process Doing: gdb --pid=PID -ex run Results in GDB getting a SIGTTIN, and thus ending stopped. That's usually indicative of a missing target_terminal_ours call. E.g., from the PR: $ sleep 1h & p=$!; sleep 0.1; gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run [1] 28263 [1] Killed sleep 1h [2]+ Stopped gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run The workaround is doing: gdb -ex "attach $PID" -ex "run" instead of gdb [-p] $PID -ex "run" With the former, gdb waits for the attach command to complete before moving on to the "run" command, because the interpreter is in sync mode at this point, within execute_command. But for the latter, attach_command is called directly from captured_main, and thus misses that waiting. IOW, "run" is running before the attach continuation has run, before the program stops and attach completes. The broken terminal settings are just one symptom of that. Any command that queries or requires input results in the same. The fix is to wait in catch_command_errors (which is specific to main.c nowadays), just like we wait in execute_command. gdb/ChangeLog: 2014-09-03 Pedro Alves PR gdb/17347 * main.c: Include "infrun.h".
