Since the multi-target patch, the run command fails on Solaris with an assertion failure even for a trivial program: $ ./gdb -D ./data-directory ./hello GNU gdb (GDB) 10.0.50.20200106-git [...] Reading symbols from ./hello... (gdb) run Starting program: /vol/obj/gnu/gdb/gdb/reghunt/no-resync/122448/gdb/hello /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/thread.c:336: internal-error: thread_info::thread_info(inferior*, ptid_t): Assertion `inf_ != NULL' failed. Here's the start of the corresponding stack trace: #0 internal_error ( file=file@entry=0x966150 "/vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/thread.c", line=line@entry=336, fmt=0x9ddb94 "%s: Assertion `%s' failed.") at /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/gdbsupport/errors.c:51 #1 0x0000000000ef81f4 in thread_info::thread_info (this=0x1212020, inf_=<optimized out>, ptid_=...) at /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/thread.c:344 #2 0x0000000000ef82cd in new_thread (inf=inf@entry=0x0, ptid=...) at /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/thread.c:239 #3 0x0000000000efac3c in add_thread_silent ( targ=targ@entry=0x11b0940 <the_procfs_target>, ptid=...) at /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/thread.c:304 #4 0x0000000000d90692 in procfs_target::create_inferior ( this=0x11b0940 <the_procfs_target>, exec_file=0x13dbef0 "/vol/obj/gnu/gdb/gdb/reghunt/no-resync/122448/gdb/hello", allargs="", env=0x13c48f0, from_tty=<optimized out>) at /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/gdbsupport/ptid.h:47 #5 0x0000000000c84e64 in run_command_1 (args=<optimized out>, from_tty=1, run_how=run_how@entry=RUN_NORMAL) at /vol/gcc-9/include/c++/9.1.0/bits/basic_string.h:263 #6 0x0000000000c85007 in run_command (args=<optimized out>, from_tty=<optimized out>) at /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/reghunt/gdb/infcmd.c:687 Looking closer, I found that in add_thread_silent as called from procfs.c (procfs_target::create_inferior) find_inferior_ptid returns NULL. The all_inferiors (targ) iterator comes up empty. Going from there, I see that in add_thread_silent m_target_stack = {m_top = file_stratum, m_stack = {0x20190e0 <the_dummy_target>, 0x200b8c0 <exec_ops>, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}}} i.e. the_procfs_target is missing compared to the_amd64_linux_nat_target on Linux/x86_64. Moving the push_target call earlier allows debugging to get over the initial assertion failure. I run instead into procfs: couldn't find pid 0 in procinfo list. which is fixed by https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169674.html Both patches tested together on amd64-pc-solaris2.11.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
