# Test that we can access memory while all the threads of the inferior
# are running, and even if:
#
# - the leader thread exits
# - the selected thread exits
#
# This test constantly spawns short lived threads to make sure that on
# systems with debug APIs that require passing down a specific thread
# to work with (e.g., GNU/Linux ptrace and /proc filesystem), GDB
# copes with accessing memory just while the thread it is accessing
# memory through exits.
#
# The test spawns two processes and alternates memory accesses between
# them to force flushing per-process caches.  When the testcase was
# originally written, the Linux backend would access inferior memory
# via /proc/PID/mem, and kept one such file open, as a cache.
# Alternating inferiors would force re-opening such file for a
# different process, which would fail if GDB tried to open the file
# for a thread that exited.  The test thus ensured those reopen/fail
# code paths were exercised.  Nowadays, GDB keeps one /proc/PID/mem
# file open per inferior.
