16 # Make an inferior call to a function which uses longjmp. However,
17 # the backtrace for the function that is called is broken at the point
18 # where the longjmp is handled. This test is checking to see if the
19 # inferior call still completes successfully.
21 # This test forces a broken backtrace using Python, but in real life a
22 # broken backtrace can easily occur when calling through code for
23 # which there is no debug information if the prologue unwinder fails,
24 # which can often happen if the code has been optimized.
26 # The problem was that, due to the broken backtrace, GDB failed to
27 # find the inferior call's dummy frame. GDB then concluded that the
28 # inferior had longjmp'd backward past the dummy frame and so garbage
29 # collected the dummy frame, this causes the breakpoint within the
30 # dummy frame to be deleted.
32 # When the inferior continued, and eventually returned to the dummy
33 # frame, it would try to execute instruction from the dummy frame
34 # (which for most, or even all, targets, is on the stack), and then
35 # experience undefined behaviuor, often a SIGSEGV.
