Description Tom de Vries 2020-11-14 09:58:24 UTC
[ Possibly duplicate of PR17174. ]

Consider PR26880 - "hex instead of filename printed in error message":

$ gdb -batch test.c

Just disabling the assert doesn't work, it makes gdb hang.

Hmm, it seems this reproduces in the test-suite:

I also managed to reproduce this at gdb-8.3-branch branchpoint.

I haven't seen this failure before, but it's caused by the backport for gcc PR97774 - "Incorrect line info for try/catch" ( https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97774 ) landing on the compiler I'm using.

So, this should be reproducible for anyone using gcc-10 or later.
Comment 6 Tom de Vries 2020-11-15 00:24:30 UTC
So, minimal version:
...
     1  #include <iostream>
     2
     3  void
     4  function1 (int val)
     5  {
     6    throw val;
     7  }
     8
     9  void
    10  function3 (int val)
    11  {
    12    {
    13      try
    14        {
    15          function1 (val);
    16        }
    17      catch (...) 
    18        {
    19          std::cout << "Caught and handled function1 exception" << std::endl;
    20        }
    21    }
    22  }
    23
    24  int
    25  main (void) 
    26  { 
    27    function3 (3);
    28
    29    return 0;
    30  }
...

Compiled like:
...
$ $ g++ nextoverthrow.cc -g
...

Reproduces like so:
...
$ gdb -batch ./a.out -ex 'b 27' -ex run -ex next
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400ae4: file nextoverthrow.cc, line 27.

Breakpoint 1, main () at nextoverthrow.cc:27

...

With -ex "set debug infrun 1", we see:

...

So, the first time we do BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME, we delete ecs->event_thread->control.exception_resume_breakpoint.

Then we choose case 3, to keep going:
...
                /* Case 3.  */
                keep_going (ecs);
                return;
...

But it seems some somehow we hit again BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME at the same stop_pc. And then run into the assert, because we've deleted it the first time round.

FTR, survived regression test.
Comment 9 Tom de Vries 2020-11-21 08:58:36 UTC
(In reply to Tom de Vries from comment #5)
> So, this should be reproducible for anyone using gcc-10 or later.

Confirmed, I reproduced this on openSUSE Tumbleweed with system gcc 10.2.1, and debuginfo for libgcc installed.

In the beginning of the test-case, we check for skip_unwinder_tests, which first checks for the presence of _Unwind_DebugHook.  Without debuginfo for libgcc, it's not found, with debuginfo for libgcc, it is.

FWIW, I found an apparently never committed gcc patch ( https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2010-04/msg01647.html ) to make the symbol part of the lib interface, such that it can be found without libgcc debuginfo installed.
Comment 10 Tom de Vries 2021-01-05 10:41:43 UTC
Hmm, I start to wonder whether the problem is that we install two exception_master breakpoints:
- one using _Unwind_DebugHook
- one using probes.

In create_exception_master_breakpoint we have:
...
   for (objfile *objfile : current_program_space->objfiles ())
     {
        /* Try using probes.  */
        if (/* successful */)
          continue;

        /* Try using _Unwind_DebugHook */
     }
...

What happens is that we first encounter libgcc.debug. We try using probes, and this fails, so we try _Unwind_DebugHook, which succeeds.

Then we encounter libgcc.  We try using probes, and this succeeds.

I'm not sure why we keep trying after installing a master breakpoint.  Can there be one per objfile?

Either way, the root cause seems to be that the probes vs _Unwind_DebugHook preference mechanism does not take seperate debug info objfiles into account.

    [gdb] Fix internal-error in process_event_stop_test
    
    The function create_exception_master_breakpoint in gdb/breakpoint.c attempts
    to set a master exception breakpoint in each objfile.  It tries this using
    a libgcc/unwind probe, and if that fails then using the
    _Unwind_DebugHook symbol:
    ...
       for (objfile *objfile : current_program_space->objfiles ())
         {
            /* Try using probes.  */
            if (/* successful */)
              continue;
    
            /* Try using _Unwind_DebugHook */
         }
    ...
    
    The preference scheme works ok both if the objfile has debug info, and if it's
    stripped.
    
    But it doesn't work when the objfile has a .gnu_debuglink to a .debug file
    (and the .debug file is present).  What happens is that:
    - we first encounter objfile libgcc.debug
    - we try using probes, and this fails
    - so we try _Unwind_DebugHook, which succeeds
    - next we encounter objfile libgcc
    - we try using probes, and this succeeds.
    So, we end up with a master exception breakpoint in both libgcc (using probes)
    and libgcc.debug (using _Unwind_DebugHook).
    
    This eventually causes:
    ...
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/nextoverthrow.exp: post-check - next over a throw 3
    next^M
    src/gdb/infrun.c:6384: internal-error: \
      void process_event_stop_test(execution_control_state*): \
      Assertion `ecs->event_thread->control.exception_resume_breakpoint != NULL' \
      failed.^M
    A problem internal to GDB has been detected,^M
    further debugging may prove unreliable.^M
    Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.cp/nextoverthrow.exp: next
    past catch (GDB internal error)
    ...
    
    To trigger this internal-error, we need to use gcc-10 or later to compile the
    test-case, such that it contains the fix for gcc PR97774 - "Incorrect line
    info for try/catch".
    
    Fix this by only trying to install the master exception breakpoint in
    libgcc.debug using the _Unwind_DebugHook method, if the install using probes
    in libgcc failed.
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux.
