Reimplement support for "maint print registers" with no running infer…
…ior yet A following patch will change the default target_thread_architecture method, like this: struct gdbarch * default_thread_architecture (struct target_ops *ops, ptid_t ptid) { - return target_gdbarch (); + inferior *inf = find_inferior_ptid (ptid); + gdb_assert (inf != NULL); + return inf->gdbarch; } This is because target_gdbarch is really just current_inferior()->gdbarch, and it's wrong to return that architecture when the inferior of the passed in PTID is NOT the current inferior -- the inferior for PTID may be running a different architecture. E.g., a mix of 64-bit and 32-bit inferiors in the same debug session. Doing that change above however exposes a problem in "maint print registers", caught be the testsuite: -PASS: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers +FAIL: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers (GDB internal error) ... gdb/inferior.c:309: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, The call stack looks like this: #0 0x000000000068b707 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...)

This is expected to work, and there's already a hack in get_thread_arch_regcache to make it work. Instead of pilling on hacks in the internal of regcache and target_ops, this commit moves the null_ptid special casing to where it belongs -- higher up in the call chain in the implementation of "maint print registers" & co directly. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-10-04 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> * regcache.c (get_thread_arch_regcache): Remove null_ptid special case. (regcache_print): Handle !target_has_registers here instead.
