- Subject: [PATCH] Disallow pseudo-registers in agent expression.
Collecting a pseudo-register in a tracepoint action gives a failed
assert and probably wouldn't work anyway:
(gdb) action
Enter actions for tracepoint 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
> collect $pc
regcache.c:163: internal-error: register_type: Assertion `regnum >= 0
&& regnum < descr->nr_cooked_registers' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
The patch also prevents a segfault when "action" or "while-stepping"
is ended with a ^D.
