Subject: 29.2.50; Emacs crashes when running gdb with comint-prompt-read-only
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024 10:12:25 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm seeing occasional crashes when debugging programs with M-x gdb. I'm
observing the crashes on head of both emacs-29 and master, and on
multiple platforms (Debian Bookworm, Debian Trixie, Oracle Linux 8,
Oracle Linux 9).

To reproduce, save this simple C program in a file main.c:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  printf("Hello!\n");
}

Compile it and produce two binaries, a.out and b.out:

% gcc main.c
% cp a.out b.out

Make sure the contents of ~/.gdbinit are:

set debuginfod enabled off

Then run emacs -Q and evaluate:

(progn
  (setopt gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting nil
          comint-prompt-read-only t)
  (gdb "gdb -i=mi a.out")
  (insert "r")
  (comint-send-input)
  (sit-for 2)
  (gdb "gdb -i=mi b.out"))

This makes Emacs crash in my environment. The stack trace has 10700
frames, so I assume it's something like an infinite recursion bug.
The backtrace is available in the attached gdb.txt.

It also crashes if gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting is t, but not if it's
'ask. (However, if it's 'ask, the second invocation of gdb asks again
and again whether debuginfod should be enabled. After responding y or n,
a new prompt with the same question immediately reappears.)

When setting comint-prompt-read-only to nil, it seems to behave fine
regardless of which value gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting has.

According to git bisect, it has crashed since the
gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting option was introduced in:

Does gdb-mi.el really support several debugging sessions in parallel?

Does replacing defvar with defvar-local for
gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting helps to resolve the problem?

If not, please tell what are the errors that Emacs wants to report,
here:

I'm asking about the value of error_val with which
read_process_output_error_handler is called in these two frames.  It
is possible that you will need to rebuild Emacs without optimizations,
to be able to show these values.  The error_val argument is a Lisp
object, so please use the "pp" command to show it (if GDB says it
doesn't know about "pp", you need to "source .gdbinit" where .gdbinit
is the file that comes with the Emacs source tarball, in the 'src'
directory).

Why are you setting comint-prompt-read-only non-nil?

Thanks.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. But I sometimes forget that I
already have a debugging session running in Emacs, and start a new one.
I would be fine with getting an error if it's not supported. But
preferably not a crash. :)

I assume you meant gdb-debuginfod-enable (the defvar), not
gdb-debuginfod-enable-setting (the defcustom)? Unfortunately, no, it
didn't seem to change anything. (For completeness, I also tried to
change the defcustom to defvar-local, even though I don't think that's
what you requested. That didn't help either.)

It apparently tries to report "error in process filter: Text is
read-only" in all of the read_process_output_error_handler() frames that
I looked at. error_val contains the same in all of them:

(gdb) pp error_val
(text-read-only)

It's just a preference of mine. I like that the prompt is preserved even
if I hit backspace a few times too many, or hit C-k in the wrong spot,
in M-x shell or M-x gdb. Makes it feel a little more similar to running
a shell in a terminal, without going all the way to term or vterm.

Thanks,

OK, so please try this change, it seems to fix the problem for me:
