This is a nasty interaction between Python and GDB. Basically,
Python causes some macros to be unilaterally defined in order
to turns some features on:
/* Define to activate features from IEEE Stds 1003.1-2001 */
#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200112L
/* Define to the level of X/Open that your system supports */
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600
But the problem is that they turn off defines provided by some
system headers on which we depend. Namely:
* sys/siginfo.h:
#if _SGIAPI
#define siginfo __siginfo
#endif
* sys/ucontext.h:
#if _SGIAPI && !defined(__SGI_NOUCONTEXT_COMPAT)
[...]
#define fp_r __fp_r
[...]
#define fp_csr __fp_csr
[...]
#endif
The important macro here is _SGIAPI, defined as follow in standards.h:
#define _SGIAPI ((defined(_SGI_SOURCE) && \
_NO_POSIX && _NO_XOPEN4 && _NO_XOPEN5) || \
(_ANSIMODE && _NO_POSIX && _NO_XOPEN4 && _NO_XOPEN5))
If one builds GDB without Python, then _SGIAPI is true, and all is fine.
But building with Python causes both _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE
to trip all the _NO_[...] tests (_NO_POSIX, _NO_XOPEN4, _NO_XOPEN5).
And so we get build failures because we try to use undefined types, or
non-existent component names inside the regset structure.
The latter problem is observed only within irix5-nat.c, which means
that it is specific to IRIX. So it's easy to write the code in a way
that it does not require the macros (just use the real component names,
rather than relying on the macros to do the translation).
The former, on the other hand, is a little trickier, because the problem
occurs inside a generic unit (procfs.c). The solution I chose was to
adjust the configure script to add -Dsiginfo=__siginfo to the CPPFLAGS
if building with python using GCC on IRIX.
We hadn't seen this sort of issue up to now because the affect units
have not been dependent on the python includes up to now. Recent changes
have made them indirectly dependent on Python, thus triggering the issues.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* irix5-nat.c: Replace fp_r, fp_regs and fp_scr by __fp_r, __fp_regs
and __fp_scr respectively throughout.
* configure.ac: Compile with -Dsiginfo=__siginfo if building with
Python using GCC on IRIX.
* configure: Regenerate.

bfd_uses_spe_extensions should only be used when BFD has been built
with ELF support. The typical way of checking that in GDB is to use
the HAVE_ELF macro.

* gdb.python/python.exp: Check that selected_thread raises an
error when no inferior is loaded.
A recent change in check_typedef caused the following regression,
considering:
type String_Access is access String;
S1 : String_Access := null;
Trying to print S1, we get:
(gdb) print s1
$1 = (string) (null)
The type name is wrong. We were expecting:
(gdb) print s1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) (null)
The extensive comment in this patch explains how pointers to arrays
are encoded when the array is a "fat pointer". What happened is
that the change in check_typedef broke a type-equality test that
we were performing. The test really was on the fringe, but it
turns out that, for what we're doing, we're really only interested
in the main-type portion of the type.
The patch adjust the check accordingly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_type): Expand function documentation.
Return the original type if the main type portions match rather
than when the type themselves match.
We have a variant record whose value is defined as follow:
type Discriminant_Record (Num1, Num2,
Num3, Num4 : Natural) is record
Field1 : My_Record_Array (1 .. Num2);
Field2 : My_Record_Array (Num1 .. 10);
Field3 : My_Record_Array (Num1 .. Num2);
Field4 : My_Record_Array (Num3 .. Num2);
Field5 : My_Record_Array (Num4 .. Num2);
end record;
Dire : Discriminant_Record (1, 7, 3, 0);
However, we're trying to print "Dire" before it is elaborated.
This is common if one breaks on a function and then starts doing
"info locals" for instance.
What happens is that GDB reads bogus values for fields Num1 to
Num4, and deduces a bogus (ginormouos) size for component
"Field1". The length is so large that it then later causes
an overflow in the overall record length computation. Things
go downhill from there, because length(field1) > length(record).
So, when after we've fetched the value of the record based on
the computed size, we crash trying to access unallocated memory
when accessing field1...
The first fix we can do is to check the size of the field
against the maximum object size. If it exceeds that size,
then we know the record will also exceed that size...
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_template_to_fixed_record_type_1):
For dynamic fields, check the field size against the maximum
object size.
