When an event arrives, it is queued and processed by calling the appropriate event handler. The event loop then continues to listen for more events. An event loop completes when there are no event sources to listen on. External event sources can be plugged into the loop. There are 4 main components: - a list of file descriptors to be monitored, GDB_NOTIFIER. - a list of asynchronous event sources to be monitored, ASYNC_EVENT_HANDLER_LIST. - a list of events that have occurred, EVENT_QUEUE. - a list of signal handling functions, SIGHANDLER_LIST. GDB_NOTIFIER keeps track of the file descriptor based event sources. ASYNC_EVENT_HANDLER_LIST keeps track of asynchronous event sources that are signalled by some component of gdb, usually a target_ops instance. Event sources for gdb are currently the UI and the target. Gdb communicates with the command line user interface via the readline library and usually communicates with remote targets via a serial port. Serial ports are represented in GDB as file descriptors and select/poll calls. For native targets instead, the communication varies across operating system debug APIs, but usually consists of calls to ptrace and waits (via signals) or calls to poll/select (via file descriptors). In the current gdb, the code handling events related to the target resides in wait_for_inferior for synchronous targets; or, for asynchronous capable targets, by having the target register either a target controlled file descriptor and/or an asynchronous event source in the event loop, with the fetch_inferior_event function as the event callback. In both the synchronous and asynchronous cases, usually the target event is collected through the target_wait interface. The target is free to install other event sources in the event loop if it so requires. EVENT_QUEUE keeps track of the events that have happened during the last iteration of the event loop, and need to be processed. An event is represented by a procedure to be invoked in order to process the event. The queue is scanned head to tail. If the event of interest is a change of state in a file descriptor, then a call to poll or select will be made to detect it. If the events generate signals, they are also queued by special functions that are invoked through traditional signal handlers. The actions to be taken is response to such events will be executed when the SIGHANDLER_LIST is scanned, the next time through the infinite loop. Corollary tasks are the creation and deletion of event sources. */ typedef void *gdb_client_data; struct async_signal_handler; struct async_event_handler; typedef void (handler_func) (int, gdb_client_data); typedef void (sig_handler_func) (gdb_client_data); typedef void (async_event_handler_func) (gdb_client_data); typedef void (timer_handler_func) (gdb_client_data); /* Where to add an event onto the event queue, by queue_event. */ typedef enum { /* Add at tail of queue.
