I believe that the get_exec_file function is unnecessary, and the code can be simplified if we remove it. Consider for instance when you "run" a program on Linux with native debugging. 1. run_command_1 obtains the executable file from `current_program_space->exec_filename ()` 2. it passes it to `run_target->create_inferior()`, which is `inf_ptrace_target::create_inferior()` in this case, which then passes it to `fork_inferior()` 3. `fork_inferior()` then has a fallback, where if the passed exec file is nullptr, it gets its from `get_exec_file()`. 4. `get_exec_file()` returns `current_program_space->exec_filename ()` - just like the things we started with - or errors out if the current program space doesn't have a specified executable. If there's no exec filename passed in step 1, there's not going to be any in step 4, so it seems pointless to call `get_exec_file()`, we could just error out when `exec_file` is nullptr. But we can't error out directly in `fork_inferior()`, since the error is GDB-specific, and that function is shared with GDBserver. Speaking of GDBserver, all code paths that lead to `fork_inferior()` provide a non-nullptr exec file. Therefore, to simplify things: - Make `fork_inferior()` assume that the passed exec file is not nullptr, don't call `get_exec_file()` - Change some targets (darwin-nat, go32-nat, gnu-nat, inf-ptrace, nto-procfs, procfs) to error out when the exec file passed to their create_inferior method is nullptr. Some targets are fine with a nullptr exec file, so we can't check that in `run_command_1()`. - Add the `no_executable_specified_error()` function, which re-uses the error message that `get_exec_file()` had. - Change some targets (go32-nat, nto-procfs) to not call `get_exec_file()`, since it's pointless for the same reason as in the example above, if it returns, it's going the be the same value as the `exec_file` parameter. Just rely on `exec_file`. - Remove the final use of `get_exec_file()`, in `load_command()`. - Remove the `get_exec_file()` implementations in GDB and GDBserver and remove the shared declaration.
