  16 # Make an inferior call to a function which uses longjmp.  However,
  17 # the backtrace for the function that is called is broken at the point
  18 # where the longjmp is handled.  This test is checking to see if the
  19 # inferior call still completes successfully.
  20 #
  21 # This test forces a broken backtrace using Python, but in real life a
  22 # broken backtrace can easily occur when calling through code for
  23 # which there is no debug information if the prologue unwinder fails,
  24 # which can often happen if the code has been optimized.
  25 #
  26 # The problem was that, due to the broken backtrace, GDB failed to
  27 # find the inferior call's dummy frame.  GDB then concluded that the
  28 # inferior had longjmp'd backward past the dummy frame and so garbage
  29 # collected the dummy frame, this causes the breakpoint within the
  30 # dummy frame to be deleted.
  31 #
  32 # When the inferior continued, and eventually returned to the dummy
  33 # frame, it would try to execute instruction from the dummy frame
  34 # (which for most, or even all, targets, is on the stack), and then
  35 # experience undefined behaviuor, often a SIGSEGV.
