Package: emacs
Version: 24.4
emacs -Q -f gdb
gdb -i=mi a.out RET
Choose "Go" button in toolbar, program starts running, "Go" disappears.
Now there should be a "Stop" button, but there isn't.
gdb-show-stop-p returns nil because gdb-running-threads-count is 0.
It works in 24.3, and fails in 24.4 through to current master.

Reverting 2e78e6a fixes this for me, so I've cc'd the author of that change.

What version of GDB do you have?
FWIW, the "Stop" button does appear for me, so this could depend on
whether GDB and/or the target supports non-stop execution (mine
doesn't). My GDB version is 7.12, for the record.
Anyway, I guess reverting only the first hunk of 2e78e6a suffices?

I should have said:
GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6.1-94.el7

Mine apparently supports non-stop.

Right.
Though I don't know if it is safe to revert any of 2e78e6a, given that
it says these signals never reply, and comments in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/13845#8
talks about gdb replying in order.
(My comment may be nonsense, I know nothing about this code.)

Hmm... that might be too old. Is there any chance you could try with
a newer one? Or maybe you already did?

My problem with the original report is that the recipe for reproducing
the bug is so complex I cannot wrap my head around what's going on
there. One way forard could be to see if reverting the first hunk of
2e78e6a reintroduces the problem in that recipe. Or maybe we should
just revert it and see if anyone hollers.

With:
GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.11-67.el7
the stop buttons appears, but clicking it doesn't stop the program.
gdb-running-threads-count remains at 0 while the process is running.
gdb-non-stop is now nil.
If I type: C-c C-c the program stops and a Go button appears.
If I click that, I get both a Stop and a Go button.
gdb-stopped-threads-count is 1, and gdb-running-threads-count remains
at 0. This is with gdb-gud-control-all-threads t, the default.
The program being debugged is just an infinite while loop.

And if you revert that hunk, then the behavior is more according to
expectations, with GDB 7.11?

On clicking Go, gdb-running-threads-count remains at 0.
The Stop button still doesn't stop.
On typing C-c C-c I get
WARNING! Discarding GDB handler with token #18
On clicking Go I get just a Stop button.
At this point the Stop button works.
