16 # Test that a resume cancels a previously unfinished or unreported
17 # single-step correctly.
18 #
19 # The test consists of several threads all running the same loop.
20 # There is a breakpoint set in the loop, hence all threads may hit it.
21 # The test then issues several "next" commands in a loop.
22 #
23 # scheduler-locking must be set to the default of "off".
24 #
25 # Here's what would happen in gdbserver:
26 #
27 # 1) We issue a "continue", and wait until a thread hits the
28 # breakpoint. Could be any thread, but assume thread 1 hits it.
29 #
30 # 2) We issue a "next" --- this single-steps thread 1, and resumes all
31 # other threads.
32 #
33 # 3) thread 2, due to scheduler-locking off, hits the breakpoint.
34 # gdbserver stops all other threads by sending them SIGSTOPs.
35 #
36 # 4) While being stopped in step 3, thread 1 reports a SIGTRAP, that
37 # corresponds to the finished single-step of step 2. gdbserver
38 # leaves the SIGTRAP pending to report later.
39 #
40 # 5) We issue another "next" --- this requests thread 2 to
41 # single-step, and all other threads to continue, including thread
42 # 1. Before resuming any thread, gdbserver notices that it
43 # remembers from step 4 a pending SIGTRAP to report for thread 1,
44 # so reports it now.
45 #
46 # 6) From GDB's perpective, this SIGTRAP can't represent a finished
47 # single-step, since thread 1 was not single-stepping (it was
48 # continued in step 5). Neither does this SIGTRAP correspond to a
49 # breakpoint hit. GDB reports to the user a spurious SIGTRAP.
