+Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Never kill PID on: gdb exec PID
+
+Hi,
+
+in some cases with deleted main executable GDB will want to kill the inferior.
+
+$ cp /bin/sleep /tmp/sleep;/tmp/sleep 1h&p=$!
+$ rm /tmp/sleep
+$ gdb /tmp/sleep $p
+GNU gdb (GDB) 7.10.50.20151016-cvs
+/tmp/sleep: No such file or directory.
+Attaching to process 9694
+/tmp/sleep (deleted): No such file or directory.
+A program is being debugged already. Kill it? (y or n) _
+
+The first attachment of "/tmp/sleep" commandline argument errors at:
+
+#0 throw_error (error=GENERIC_ERROR, fmt=0x116d135 "%s.") at ./common/common-exceptions.c:371
+#1 in throw_perror_with_name (errcode=GENERIC_ERROR, string=0x7fffffffdb96 "/dfsfds") at utils.c:974
+#2 in perror_with_name (string=0x7fffffffdb96 "/dfsfds") at utils.c:982
+#3 in exec_file_attach (filename=0x7fffffffdb96 "/dfsfds", from_tty=1) at exec.c:268
+267 if (scratch_chan < 0)
+268 perror_with_name (filename);
+#4 in catch_command_errors_const (command=0x80f59f <exec_file_attach>, arg=0x7fffffffdb96 "/dfsfds", from_tty=1) at main.c:395
+#5 in captured_main (data=0x7fffffffd6f0) at main.c:1051
+1051 if (catch_command_errors_const (exec_file_attach, execarg,
+1052 !batch_flag))
+
+Then GDB tries to attach to the process $p:
+
+#0 inferior_appeared (inf=0x240e0b0, pid=29210) at inferior.c:305
+#1 in inf_ptrace_attach (ops=0x2339540, args=0x21dcdc0 "29210", from_tty=1) at inf-ptrace.c:206
+#2 in linux_nat_attach (ops=0x2339540, args=0x21dcdc0 "29210", from_tty=1) at linux-nat.c:1278
+#3 in attach_command (args=0x21dcdc0 "29210", from_tty=1) at infcmd.c:2748
+#4 in catch_command_errors (command=0x79d7e5 <attach_command>, arg=0x7fffffffdb9e "29210", from_tty=1) at main.c:368
+#5 in captured_main (data=0x7fffffffd6f0) at main.c:1082
+1082 if (catch_command_errors (attach_command, pid_or_core_arg,
+1083 !batch_flag) == 0)
+
+This succeeds and since this moment GDB has a valid inferior. But despite that
+the lines
+1082 if (catch_command_errors (attach_command, pid_or_core_arg,
+1083 !batch_flag) == 0)
+still fail because consequently attach_command() fails to find the associated
+executable file:
+
+#0 throw_error (error=GENERIC_ERROR, fmt=0x116d135 "%s.") at ./common/common-exceptions.c:371
+#1 in throw_perror_with_name (errcode=GENERIC_ERROR, string=0x2477860 "/tmp/sleep (deleted)") at utils.c:974
+#2 in perror_with_name (string=0x2477860 "/tmp/sleep (deleted)") at utils.c:982
+#3 in exec_file_attach (filename=0x2477860 "/tmp/sleep (deleted)", from_tty=1) at exec.c:268
+267 if (scratch_chan < 0)
+268 perror_with_name (filename);
+#4 in exec_file_locate_attach (pid=29210, from_tty=1) at exec.c:173
+#5 in attach_command_post_wait (args=0x24739b0 "29210", from_tty=1, async_exec=0) at infcmd.c:2628

+1082 if (catch_command_errors (attach_command, pid_or_core_arg,
+1083 !batch_flag) == 0)
+
+and therefore GDB executes the following:
+
+(gdb) bt
+#5 in query (ctlstr=0x1141ae8 "A program is being debugged already. Kill it? ") at utils.c:1371
+#6 in target_preopen (from_tty=1) at target.c:2183
+2179 if (have_inferiors ())
+2180 {
+2181 if (!from_tty
+2182 || !have_live_inferiors ()
+2183 || query (_("A program is being debugged already. Kill it? ")))
+2184 iterate_over_inferiors (dispose_inferior, NULL);
+2185 else
+2186 error (_("Program not killed."));
+2187 }
+#7 in core_open (arg=0x7fffffffdb9f "9694", from_tty=1) at corelow.c:283
+#8 in core_file_command (filename=0x7fffffffdb9f "9694", from_tty=1) at corefile.c:77
+#9 in catch_command_errors (command=0x86ca16 <core_file_command>, arg=0x7fffffffdb9f "9694", from_tty=1) at main.c:368
+#10 in captured_main (data=0x7fffffffd6f0) at main.c:1084
+1084 catch_command_errors (core_file_command, pid_or_core_arg,
+1085 !batch_flag);
+
+No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora24pre-linux-gnu.
+
+
+Thanks,
+Jan
