Reimplement support for "maint print registers" with no running inferior yet
A following patch will change the default target_thread_architecture
method, like this:
struct gdbarch *
default_thread_architecture (struct target_ops *ops, ptid_t ptid)
{
- return target_gdbarch ();
+ inferior *inf = find_inferior_ptid (ptid);
+ gdb_assert (inf != NULL);
+ return inf->gdbarch;
}
This is because target_gdbarch is really just
current_inferior()->gdbarch, and it's wrong to return that
architecture when the inferior of the passed in PTID is NOT the
current inferior -- the inferior for PTID may be running a different
architecture. E.g., a mix of 64-bit and 32-bit inferiors in the same
debug session.
Doing that change above however exposes a problem in "maint print
registers", caught be the testsuite:
-PASS: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers
+FAIL: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers (GDB internal error)
...

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,

I.e., the test does "maint print registers" while the inferior is not
running yet. This is expected to work, and there's already a hack in
get_thread_arch_regcache to make it work.
Instead of pilling on hacks in the internal of regcache and
target_ops, this commit moves the null_ptid special casing to where it
belongs -- higher up in the call chain in the implementation of "maint
print registers" & co directly.

* regcache.c (get_thread_arch_regcache): Remove null_ptid special
case.
(regcache_print): Handle !target_has_registers here instead.
