gdb: fix post-hook execution for remote targets
Commit b5661ff ("gdb: fix possible use-after-free when executing commands") attempted to fix possible use-after-free in case command redefines itself. Commit 37e5833 ("gdb: fix command lookup in execute_command ()") updated the previous fix to handle subcommands as well by using the original command string to lookup the command again after its execution. This fixed the test in gdb.base/define.exp but it turned out that it does not work (at least) for "target remote" and "target extended-remote". The problem is that the command buffer P passed to execute_command () gets overwritten in dont_repeat () while executing "target remote" command itself: #0 dont_repeat () at top.c:822 #1 0x000055555730982a in target_preopen (from_tty=1) at target.c:2483 #2 0x000055555711e911 in remote_target::open_1 (name=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1, extended_p=0) at remote.c:5946 #3 0x000055555711d577 in remote_target::open (name=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1) at remote.c:5272 #4 0x00005555573062f2 in open_target (args=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1, command=0x5555589d0490) at target.c:853 #5 0x0000555556ad22fa in cmd_func (cmd=0x5555589d0490, args=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1) at cli/cli-decode.c:2737 #6 0x00005555573487fd in execute_command (p=0x55555881c802 "4", from_tty=1) at top.c:688 Therefore the second call to lookup_cmd () at line 697 fails to find command because the original command string is gone. This commit addresses this particular problem by creating a *copy* of original command string for the sole purpose of using it after command execution to lookup the command again. It may not be the most efficient way but it's safer given that command buffer is shared and overwritten in hard-to-foresee situations. Tested on x86_64-linux.
