Pedro Alves 6a3cb8e88a Allow making GDB not automatically connect to the native target.
Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target.  E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run".  That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended.  Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.

With the patch, we now can have this instead:

 (gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
 (gdb) target extended-remote :9999
 ...
 *gdb disconnects*
 (gdb) run
 Don't know how to run.  Try "help target".

To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.

Before:

 (gdb) target native
 Use the "run" command to start a native process.

After:

 (gdb) target native
 Done.  Use the "run" command to start a process.
 (gdb) maint print target-stack
 The current target stack is:
   - native (Native process)
   - exec (Local exec file)
   - None (None)
 (gdb) run
 Starting program: ./a.out
 ...

I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode).  With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target.  Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:

 (gdb) break main
 Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
 (gdb) run
 Don't know how to run.  Try "help target".
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core

On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before.  This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged.  The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:

 have_inferiors (void)
 {
   for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
     if (inf->pid != 0)
       return 1;

It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check.  To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.

Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.

Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.

Untested otherwise.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
