When an event arrives, it is queued and processed by calling the appropriate event handler. The event loop then continues to listen for more events. An event loop completes when there are no event sources to listen on. External event sources can be plugged into the loop. There are 3 main components: - a list of file descriptors to be monitored, GDB_NOTIFIER. - a list of events that have occurred, EVENT_QUEUE. - a list of signal handling functions, SIGHANDLER_LIST. GDB_NOTIFIER keeps track of the event sources. Event sources for gdb are currently the UI and the target. Gdb communicates with the command line user interface via the readline library and usually communicates with remote targets via a serial port. Serial ports are represented in GDB as file descriptors and select/poll calls. For native targets instead, the communication consists of calls to ptrace and waits (via signals) or calls to poll/select (via file descriptors). In the current gdb, the code handling events related to the target resides in the wait_for_inferior function and in various target specific files (*-tdep.c). EVENT_QUEUE keeps track of the events that have happened during the last iteration of the event loop, and need to be processed. An event is represented by a procedure to be invoked in order to process the event. The queue is scanned head to tail. If the event of interest is a change of state in a file descriptor, then a call to poll or select will be made to detect it. If the events generate signals, they are also queued by special functions that are invoked through traditional signal handlers. The actions to be taken is response to such events will be executed when the SIGHANDLER_LIST is scanned, the next time through the infinite loop. Corollary tasks are the creation and deletion of event sources. */ typedef PTR gdb_client_data; typedef struct gdb_event gdb_event; typedef void (file_handler_func) PARAMS ((gdb_client_data, int mask)); typedef void (async_handler_func) PARAMS ((gdb_client_data)); typedef void (event_handler_func) PARAMS ((int)); /* Event for the GDB event system.

Each prompt is composed as a prefix, a prompt and a suffix. The prompt to be displayed at any given time is the one on top of the stack. A stack is necessary because of cases in which the execution of a gdb command requires further input from the user, like for instance 'commands' for breakpoints and 'actions' for tracepoints. In these cases, the prompt is '>' and gdb should process input using the asynchronous readline interface and the event loop. In order to achieve this, we need to save somewhere the state of GDB, i.e. that it is processing user input as part of a command and not as part of the top level command loop. The prompt stack represents part of the saved state. Another part would be the function that readline would invoke after a whole line of input has ben entered. This second piece would be something like, for instance, where to return within the code for the actions commands after a line has been read. This latter portion has not beeen implemented yet. The need for a 3-part prompt arises from the annotation level. When this is set to 2, the prompt is actually composed of a prefix, the prompt itself and a suffix. */ /* At any particular time there will be always at least one prompt on the stack, the one being currently displayed by gdb. If gdb is using annotation level equal 2, there will be 2 prompts on the stack: the usual one, w/o prefix and suffix (at top - 1), and the 'composite' one with prefix and suffix added (at top). At this time, this is the only use of the prompt stack. Resetting annotate to 0 or 1, pops the top of the stack, resetting its size to one element. The MAXPROMPTS limit is safe, for now. Once other cases are dealt with (like the different prompts used for 'commands' or 'actions') this array implementation of the prompt stack may have to change. */ #define MAXPROMPTS 10 struct prompts { struct { char *prefix; char *prompt; char *suffix; } prompt_stack[MAXPROMPTS]; int top; }; #define PROMPT(X) the_prompts.prompt_stack[the_prompts.top + X].prompt #define PREFIX(X) the_prompts.prompt_stack[the_prompts.top + X].prefix #define SUFFIX(X) the_prompts.prompt_stack[the_prompts.top + X].suffix extern void delete_file_handler PARAMS ((int)); extern void create_file_handler PARAMS ((int, int, file_handler_func, gdb_client_data)); extern int gdb_do_one_event PARAMS ((void)); extern void mark_async_signal_handler PARAMS ((async_signal_handler *)); extern async_signal_handler * create_async_signal_handler PARAMS ((async_handler_func *, gdb_client_data));
