# This test spawns a few threads that immediately exit the whole
# process.  On targets where the debugger needs to detach from each
# thread individually (such as on the Linux kernel), the debugger must
# handle the case of the process exiting while the detach is ongoing.
#
# Similarly, the process can also be killed from outside the debugger
# (e.g., with SIGKILL), _before_ the user requests a detach.  The
# debugger must likewise detach gracefully.
#
# The testcase actually builds two variants of the test program:
# single-process, and multi-process.  In the multi-process variant,
# the test program forks, and it's the fork child that spawns threads
# that exit just while the process is being detached from.  The fork
# parent waits for its child to exit, so if GDB fails to detach from
# the child correctly, the parent hangs.  Because continuing the
# parent can mask failure to detach from the child correctly (e.g.,
# due to waitpid(-1,...) calls deep in the target layers managing to
# reap the child), we try immediately detaching from the parent too,
# and observing whether the parent exits via standard output.
#
# Normally, if testing with "target remote" against gdbserver, then
# after detaching from all attached processes, gdbserver exits.
# However, when gdbserver detaches from a process that is its own
# direct child, gdbserver does not exit immediately.  Instead it
# "joins" (waits for) the child, only exiting when the child itself
# exits too.  Thus, on Linux, if gdbserver fails to detach from the
# zombie child's threads correctly (or rather, reap them), it'll hang,
# because the leader thread will only return an exit status after all
# threads are reaped.  We test that as well.
