gdb/infrun: assert !step_over_info_valid_p in restart_threads
While working in gdb/infrun.c:restart_threads, I was wondering what are the preconditions to call the function. It seems to me that !step_over_info_valid_p should be a precondition (i.e. if we are doing an inline step over breakpoint, we do not want to resume non stepping threads as one of them might miss the breakpoint which is temporally disabled). To convince myself that this is true, I have added an assertion to enforce this, and got one regression in the testsuite: FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: vfork: displaced=off: single step over vfork (GDB internal error) This call to restart_threads originates from handle_vfork_done which does not check if a step over is active when restarting other threads: if (target_is_non_stop_p ()) { scoped_restore_current_thread restore_thread; insert_breakpoints (); restart_threads (event_thread, event_thread->inf); start_step_over (); } In this patch, I propose to: - Call start_step_over before restart_threads. If a step over is already in progress (as it is the case in the failing testcase), start_step_over return immediately, and there is no point in restarting all threads just to stop them right away for a step over breakpoint. - Only call restart_threads if no step over is in progress at this point. In this patch, I also propose to keep the assertion in restart_threads to help enforce this precondition, and state it explicitly. I have also checked all other places which call restart_threads, and they all seem to check that there is no step over currently active before doing the call. As for infrun-related things, I am never completely sure I did not miss something. So as usual, all feedback and thoughts are very welcome. Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu.
