[gdb] Handle ^C during disassembly
In PR gdb/32025, a fatal error was reported when sending a SIGINT to gdb while
disassembling.
I managed to reproduce this on aarch64-linux in a Leap 15.5 container using
this trigger patch:
...
gdb_disassembler_memory_reader::dis_asm_read_memory
(bfd_vma memaddr, gdb_byte *myaddr, unsigned int len,
struct disassemble_info *info) noexcept
{
+ set_quit_flag ();
return target_read_code (memaddr, myaddr, len);
}
...
and a simple gdb command line calling the disassemble command:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex "disassemble main"
...
The following scenario leads to the fatal error:
- the disassemble command is executed,
- set_quit_flag is called in
gdb_disassembler_memory_reader::dis_asm_read_memory, pretending that a
user pressed ^C,
- target_read_code calls QUIT, which throws a
gdb_exception_quit,
- the exception propagation mechanism reaches c code in libopcodes and a fatal
error triggers because the c code is not compiled with -fexception.
Fix this by:
- wrapping the body of gdb_disassembler_memory_reader::dis_asm_read_memory in
catch_exceptions (which consequently needs moving to a header file), and
- reraising the caught exception in default_print_insn using QUIT.
Tested on aarch64-linux.
