            Bug ID: 17627
           Summary: In MI all-stop/mi-async off mode, a thread exit make
                    the prompt (kind of) return, but it shouldn't
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

Test source file

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build the test:
    gcc -g3 -O0 test.c -pthread
2. Load the binary in gdb/mi (with -nx to get default settings)
    gdb -i mi -nx a.out
3. Run
    run
  or
    -exec-run

The program will spawn a thread which exits immediately. The main thread gets
trapped in the infinite for loop. At this point, the program is still running,
but we can now type commands. I would not expect to be able to type commands at
this point, since we are in mi-async off and the program was never interrupted.

Signs that things are in a bad state:

- We get the prompt back (we can type stuff), but the (gdb) prompt does not
appear.
- At this point, when we type "info threads", there is no active selected
thread. It says: "The current thread <Thread ID 2> has terminated.".

For fun, you can try typing "interrupt" or "-exec-interrupt" after. It will put
back gdb in a good state, with a valid selected thread and the prompt comes
back.
