OOC, what happens on FreeBSD on the gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp test?
That test:
- spawns a thread
- gdb switches to that thread, and,
- enables "set scheduler-locking on", and "continue"s.
- the child thread exits
- gdb should not hang.
It used to hang on Linux, until TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED was added.
Thanks,
