Subject: [downstream patch FYI] workaround stale frame_info * (PR 13866)
Hi,
I did not look at which commit caused this regression but apparently it was
introduced at least with multi-inferiors.
I understand this fix is not right fix of the crash; but in most GDB cases one
does not use multi-inferior so why to regress single-inferior by it.
Some more simple solutions still fix the single-inferior mode but they
regressed the multi-inferior mode
gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp
gdb.multi/base.exp
so I had to put there that sorting magic.
With proper C++ sanity check of stale live frame_info references the testcase
would be simple without the "frame_garbage_collection" reproducer below.
It is also reproducible just with valgrind but regularly running the whole
testsuite under valgrind I did not find feasible.
No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora17-linux-gnu.
Thanks,
Jan
