Currently, if GDBserver hits some internal assertion, it exits with error status, instead of aborting. This makes it harder to debug GDBserver, as you can't just debug a core file if GDBserver fails an assertion. I've had to hack the code to make GDBserver abort to debug something several times before. I believe the reason it exits instead of aborting, is to prevent potentially littering the filesystem of smaller embedded targets with core files. I think I recall Daniel Jacobowitz once saying that many years ago, but I can't be sure. Anyhow, that seems reasonable to me. Since we nowadays have a distinction between development and release modes, I propose to make GDBserver abort on internal error if in development mode, while keeping the status quo when in release mode. Thus, after this patch, in development mode, you get: $ ../gdbserver/gdbserver ../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:3711: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected. captured_main: Assertion `0' failed. Aborted (core dumped) $ while in release mode, you'll continue to get: $ ../gdbserver/gdbserver ../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:3711: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected. captured_main: Assertion `0' failed. $ echo $? 1 I do not think that this requires a separate configure switch. A "--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver" run on Ubuntu 20.04 ends up with: === gdb Summary === # of unexpected core files 29 ... for me, of which 8 are GDBserver core dumps, 7 more than without this patch.
