By experience, we have found that one cannot safely +-- do certain things, apparently including calls to thread primitives +-- from the debugger if the debugger has interrupted at one of these +-- unsafe points. In general, if you interrupt a running program +-- asynchronously (e.g. via control-C), it will not be safe to +-- call the subprograms in this package. + +----------------- +-- Future work -- +----------------- + +-- It would be nice to be able to tell whether execution has been +-- interrupted in an Ada task. A heuristic way of checking this would +-- be if we added to the Ada TCB a component that always contains a +-- constant value that is unlikely to occur accidentally in code or +-- data. We could then check this in the debugger-callable subprograms, +-- and simply return an error code if it looks unsafe to proceed. + +-- ??? +-- Recently we have added such a marker as a local variable of the +-- task-wrapper routine. This allows Self to generate a fake ATCB for +-- non-Ada threads of control. Given this capability, it is probably +-- time to revisit the issue above. + +-- DEADLOCK + +-- We follow a simple rule here to avoid deadlock: + +-- We do not use any locks in functions called by gdb, and we do not +-- traverse linked lists. +-- +-- The use of an array (Known_Tasks) has many advantages: + +-- - Easy and fast to examine; +-- - No risk of dangling references (to the next element) when traversing +-- the array. |
