This patch fixes a problem when trying to insert a breakpoint on
a specific symbol defined in a specific file, eg:
break foo.c:func
This currently works for files in C/C++/Ada, etc, but doesn't always
work for Asm files. Analysis of the problem showed that this related
to a limitation in gas, which does not generate debug info for functions/
symbols. Thus, we have a symtab for the file ("info sources" shows
the file), but it contains no symbols.
When find_linespec_symbols is called in linespec_parse_basic, it calls
find_function_symbols, which uses add_matching_symbols_to_info to
collect all matching symbols.
That function does [pardon any mangled formatting]:
for (ix = 0; VEC_iterate (symtab_ptr, info->file_symtabs, ix, elt); ++ix)
{
if (elt == NULL)
{
iterate_over_all_matching_symtabs (info->state, name, VAR_DOMAIN,
collect_symbols, info,
pspace, 1);
search_minsyms_for_name (info, name, pspace);
}
else if (pspace == NULL || pspace == SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt))
{
/* Program spaces that are executing startup should have
been filtered out earlier. */
gdb_assert (!SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt)->executing_startup);
set_current_program_space (SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt));
iterate_over_file_blocks (elt, name, VAR_DOMAIN,
collect_symbols, info);
}
}
This iterates over the symtabs. In the failing use case, ELT is
non-NULL (points to the symtab for the .s file), so it calls
iterate_over_file_blocks. Herein is where the problem exists: it is
assumed that if NAME exists, it must exist in the given symtab -- a
reasonable assumption for "normal" (non-asm) cases. It never searches
minimal symbols (or in the global default symtab).
This patch fixes the problem by doing so. It is important to note that
iterating over minsyms is fairly expensive, so this patch only adds
that extra search if the language is language_asm and
iterate_over_file_blocks returns no symbols.

This patch is the V2. V1 can be found in

V2 is to address Joel's comment
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-06/msg00289.html> about
keeping dumping floating point registers. Additionally, command
'info float' prints bits on nan2008 and abs2008.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The change below provides a MIPS-specific handler for the:
(gdb) info float
command. It provides information about the FPU type available (if any),
the FPU register width, and decodes the CP1 Floating Point Control and
Status Register (FCSR):
(gdb) print /x $fsr
$1 = 0xff83ffff
(gdb) info float
fpu type: double-precision
reg size: 32 bits
cond : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
cause : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval unimp
mask : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
flags : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
rounding: -inf
flush : zero
One point to note about CP1.FCSR are the non-standard Flush-to-Nearest
and Flush-Override bits. They are not a part of the MIPS architecture and
take two positions reserved for an implementation-dependent use in the
architecture. They are present in all the FPU implementations made by
MIPS Technologies since the spin-off from SGI.
I haven't been able to track down a single other MIPS FPU implementation
that would make any use of these bits and they are required to be
hardwired to zero by the architecture specification if unimplemented.
Therefore I think it makes sense to report them in the current way.
GDB has no guaranteed access to the CP0 Processor Identification (PRId)
register to validate this feature properly and the ID information stored
in the CP1 Floating Point Implementation Register (FIR) is from my
experience not reliable enough (there's no Company ID available there for
once unlike in CP0.PRId and Processor ID is not guaranteed to be unique).
As a side note we should probably dump CP1.FIR information as well, as
there's useful stuff indicating some FPU features there. That's material
for another change however.

This patch is to change print_float_info gdbarch method for the
following two reasons,
1. we want to add a default implementation of print_float_info to
dump the float pointer registers. It can be reused by backend to
print something more than float point registers.
2. we want to simplify the caller of print_float_info,
infcmd.c:print_float_info.

Anytime you can remove a symbol lookup that loops over all objfiles
is A Good Thing.
The call to lookup_static_symbol in valops.c:value_maybe_namespace_elt
is redundant with this call in cp_lookup_nested_symbol:
/* Now search all static file-level symbols. We have to do this
for things like typedefs in the class. We do not try to
guess any imported namespace as even the fully specified
namespace search is already not C++ compliant and more
assumptions could make it too magic. */
size = strlen (parent_name) + 2 + strlen (nested_name) + 1;
concatenated_name = alloca (size);
xsnprintf (concatenated_name, size, "%s::%s",
parent_name, nested_name);
sym = lookup_static_symbol (concatenated_name, VAR_DOMAIN);
if (sym != NULL)
return sym;
Earlier in value_maybe_namespace_elt we do this:
sym = cp_lookup_symbol_namespace (namespace_name, name,
get_selected_block (0), VAR_DOMAIN);
That sequence goes like:
value_maybe_namespace_elt
-> cp_lookup_symbol_namespace
-> cp_lookup_symbol_in_namespace
-> lookup_symbol_file
-> cp_lookup_nested_symbol
-> lookup_static_symbol
The call was added in commit 41f62f3939.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-06/msg00663.html
With a part 2 here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-06/msg00664.html
At the time the call to lookup_static_symbol (spelled
lookup_static_symbol_aux at the time) was needed.
However, this patch, 8dea366bbe,
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-11/msg00387.html
augmented lookup_symbol_file to call cp_lookup_nested_symbol
and introduced the redundancy.
It's kinda buried, so it's totally not unexpected that this happened.

This fixes a failure of the test case "complete 'info registers '" in
completion.exp on architectures where the user registers have numbers
above 99. In that case the output of "maint print user-registers" was
no longer indented, and the regexp in the test case failed to add them
to the list of expected completion results. The fix also swaps the
columns "Name" and "Nr", such that the indentation is always the same,
and to be consistent with the output of "maint print registers".

* user-regs.c (maintenance_print_user_registers): Swap "Nr" and

This patch enhances GDB on GNU/Linux systems in the situation where
we are debugging an inferior that was created from GDB (as opposed
to attached to), by asking the kernel to kill the inferior if GDB
terminates without doing it itself.
This would typically happen when GDB encounters a problem and
crashes, or when it gets killed by an external process. This can
be observed by starting a program under GDB, and then killing
GDB with signal 9. After GDB is killed, the inferior still remains.
This patch also fixes GDBserver similarly.
This fix is conditional on the kernel supporting the PTRACE_O_EXITKILL
feature. On older kernels, the behavior remains unchanged.

* nat/linux-ptrace.h (PTRACE_O_EXITKILL): Define if not
already defined.

(linux_enable_event_reporting): Add new parameter "attached".
Do not call ptrace with the PTRACE_O_EXITKILL if ATTACHED is

* linux-nat.c (linux_init_ptrace): Add parameter "attached".
Use it. Update function description.
(linux_child_post_attach, linux_child_post_startup_inferior):
Update call to linux_enable_event_reporting.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (linux_low_filter_event): Update call to
linux_enable_event_reporting following the addition of
a new parameter to that function.
Tested on x86_64-linux, native and native-gdbserver.
I also verified by hand that the inferior gets killed when killing
GDB in the "run" case, while the inferior remains in the "attach"
case. Same for GDBserver.

When gdb starts, the lines that appear before the first prompt may get
paginated if the terminal in which the tests are ran is too small (in
terms of rows). These lines include the welcome/license message and
possibly more, such as "Reading symbols from...". Pagination is disabled
right after gdb is started (with "set height 0"), but this output happens
before we are able to set height.
If these lines get paginated, gdb waits for the user to press enter and
the test harness waits for gdb to print its prompt, resulting in a
deadlock.
My first idea was to launch gdb with --quiet. However, some lines are
still printed ("Reading symbols from...", some more stuff when attaching
with --pid, etc).
The proposed solution simply expects that pagination can occur after
starting gdb. If this is the case, it sends a "\n" and loops.
gdb/testsuite/Changelog:
* lib/gdb.exp (default_gdb_start): After starting gdb, loop
as long as we get pagination notifications.
The type of the function pointer PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer (part of the
Python C API), which we use, slightly changed starting with Python 3.4. The
signature went from
PyAPI_DATA(char) *(*PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer)(FILE *, FILE *, char *);
to
PyAPI_DATA(char) *(*PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer)(FILE *, FILE *, const char *);
The parameter that changed is the prompt text.
This commits adjust gdb accordingly by making the prompt_arg parameter
const, as well as the fallouts of that. I needed to rework how
annotations are added to the prompt, since the it is now const. If
annotations are enabled, it will make a copy of the prompt overwrite the
prompt variable that is used throughout the function. Otherwise, no copy
is done and the original prompt_arg value is passed.
I changed the signature of deprecated_readline_hook. I would've changed any
user of it, but it seems like nothing is using it,
Built-tested with python 2.7.x, 3.3.y and 3.4.z.

It seems like using os.getcwdu() here is wrong both for Python 2 and Python 3.
For Python 2, this returns a 'unicode' object, which tries to get concatenated
to a 'str' object in substitute_prompt. The implicit conversion works when the
unicode string contains no accent. When it does contain an accent though,
displaying the prompt results in the following error:
(gdb) set extended-prompt \w
...
File "/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-python2/gdb/data-directory/python/gdb/prompt.py", line 138, in substitute_prompt
result += str(cmd(arg))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 49: ordinal not in range(128)
When using os.getcwd() instead, it works correctly. I suppose that Python does
the necessary decoding internally.
For Python 3, this method simply does not exist. It works fine with os.getcwd().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/lib/gdb/prompt.py (_prompt_pwd): Use os.getcwd() instead of
os.getcwdu().
Currently, when we receive a request to single-step one single thread
(Eg, when single-stepping out of a breakpoint), we use the
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP pthread request, which does single-step
the corresponding thread, but also resumes execution of all
other threads in the inferior.
This causes problems when debugging programs where another thread
receives multiple debug events while trying to single-step a specific
thread out of a breakpoint (with infrun traces turned on):

../../src/gdb/inline-frame.c:339: internal-error: skip_inline_frames: Assertion `find_inline_frame_state (ptid) == NULL' failed.
What happens is that GDB keeps sending requests to resume one specific
thread, and keeps receiving debugging events for other threads.
Things break down when the one of the other threads receives a debug
event for the second time (thread 146 in the example above).
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that only one thread
gets resumed, thus preventing the other threads from generating
an unexpected event.

* memattr.c (mem_info_command): Remove "unsigned long" casts.
Signed-off-by: Catalin Udma <catalin.udma@freescale.com>
Trying to print the value of a string whose size is not known at
compile-time before it gets assigned a value can lead to the following
internal error:
(gdb) p my_str
$1 =
/[...]/utils.c:1089: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
What happens is that my_str is described as a reference to an array
type whose bounds are dynamic. During the read of that variable's
value (in default_read_var_value), we end up resolving dynamic types
which, for reference types, makes us also resolve the target of that
reference type. This means we resolve our variable to a reference
to an array whose bounds are undefined, and unfortunately very far
appart.
So, when we pass that value to ada-valprint, and in particular to
da_val_print_ref, we eventually try to allocate too large of a buffer
corresponding to the (bogus) size of our array, hence the internal
error.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a size_check before trying
to print the dereferenced value. To perform this check, a function
that was previously specific to ada-lang.c (check_size) gets
exported, and renamed to something less prone to name collisions
(ada_ensure_varsize_limit).

This patch mostly aims at fixing a GDB build failure on 32bit Solaris
systems (Sparc and x86), due to a recent gnulib update adding the
readlink module. But it might also fix related issues when configuring
with --disable-largefile.
A side-effect of the gnulib readlink module addition is that it caused
largefile support to be added as well, and in particular
gnulib/import/m4/largefile.m4 introduced the following new #define in
gnulib's config.in:
| +/* Number of bits in a file offset, on hosts where this is settable. */
| +#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
When defined to 64, it triggers an issue with procfs.h while trying
to build sparc-sol2-nat.c:
| #if !defined(_LP64) && _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
| #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
| #endif
As it turns out, this is a fairly familiar problem, and one of
the reasons behind ACX_LARGEFILE having been created. In that macro,
we have some code which disables largefile support on solaris hosts:
| sparc-*-solaris*|i[3-7]86-*-solaris*)
| changequote([,])dnl
| # On native 32bit sparc and ia32 solaris, large-file and procfs support
| # are mutually exclusive; and without procfs support, the bfd/ elf module
| # cannot provide certain routines such as elfcore_write_prpsinfo
| # or elfcore_write_prstatus. So unless the user explicitly requested
| # large-file support through the --enable-largefile switch, disable
| # large-file support in favor of procfs support.
| test "${target}" = "${host}" -a "x$plugins" = xno \
| && : ${enable_largefile="no"}
| ;;
But gnulib ignores this fact, and so tries to determine how to
enable large-file support irrespective of whether we want it or not.
This patch fixes the issue by passing --disable-largefile to gnulib's
configure when large-file support in GDB is disabled. This is done
by first enhancing ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR to allow us to pass extra
arguments to be passed to the configure command, and then by modifying
GDB's configure to pass --disable-largefile if large-file support
is disabled.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* acx_configure_dir.m4 (ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR): Add support for
new "EXTRA-ARGS" parameter.
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDB,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDBserver,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
Tested by rebuilding on sparc-solaris and x86_64-linux (with gdbserver).
This fixes the build failure on sparc-solaris. I also verified in
gnulib's config.log file that we pass --disable-largefile in the solaris
case, while we do not in the GNU/Linux case.

GDB is currently broken on all SPARC targets when using GCC 4.9.
When trying to print any local variable:
(gdb) p x
can't compute CFA for this frame
This is related to the fact that the compiler now generates DWARF 4
debugging info by default, and in particular that it now emits
DW_OP_call_frame_cfa, which triggers a limitation in dwarf2_frame_cfa:
/* This restriction could be lifted if other unwinders are known to
compute the frame base in a way compatible with the DWARF
unwinder. */
if (!frame_unwinder_is (this_frame, &dwarf2_frame_unwind)
&& !frame_unwinder_is (this_frame, &dwarf2_tailcall_frame_unwind))
error (_("can't compute CFA for this frame"));
We couldn't append the dwarf2 unwinder to all SPARC targets because
it does not work properly with StackGhost:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00012.html
We also later discovered that using the DWARF2 unwinder means
using it for computing the function's return address, which
is buggy when it comes to functions returning a struct (where
the return address is saved-pc+12 instead of saved-pc+8).
This is because GCC is emitting the info about the return address
as %o7/%i7 instead of the actual return address. For functions
that have debugging info, we compensate by looking at the function's
return type and add the extra +4, but for function without debug
info, we're stuck.
EricB and I twisted the issue in all the directions we could think of,
and unfortunately couldn't find a way to make it work without
introduction one regression or another.
But, stepping back a little, just removing the restriction seems to work
well for us on all both sparc-elf and {sparc,sparc64}-solaris.
After reviewing the previous discussions about this test, I could
not figure out whether some unwinders were already known to have
incompatible CFAs or if the concern was purely theoretical:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00191.htmlhttps://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-07/msg00570.htmlhttps://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-09/msg00027.html
At the moment, we took the approach of trying it out, and see what
happens...

This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

gdb has to inform libcc1.so of the target being used, so that the
correct compiler can be invoked. The compiler is invoked using the
GNU configury triplet prefix, e.g., "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc".
In order for this to work we need to map the gdbarch to the GNU
configury triplet arch. In most cases these are identical; however,
the x86 family poses some problems, as the BFD arch names are quite
different from the GNU triplet names. So, we introduce a new gdbarch
method for this. A regular expression is used because there are
various valid values for the arch prefix in the triplet.
This patch also updates the osabi code to associate a regular
expression with the OS ABI. I have only added a concrete value for
Linux. Note that the "-gnu" part is optional, at least on Fedora it
is omitted from the installed GCC executable's name.

1. Background information
The MIPS architecture, as originally designed and implemented in
mid-1980s has a uniform instruction word size that is 4 bytes, naturally
aligned. As such all MIPS instructions are located at addresses that
have their bits #1 and #0 set to zeroes, and any attempt to execute an
instruction from an address that has any of the two bits set to one
causes an address error exception. This may for example happen when a
jump-register instruction is executed whose register value used as the
jump target has any of these bits set.
Then in mid 1990s LSI sought a way to improve code density for their
TinyRISC family of MIPS cores and invented an alternatively encoded
instruction set in a joint effort with MIPS Technologies (then a
subsidiary of SGI). The new instruction set has been named the MIPS16
ASE (Application-Specific Extension) and uses a variable instruction
word size, which is 2 bytes (as the name of the ASE suggests) for most,
but there are a couple of exceptions that take 4 bytes, and then most of
the 2-byte instructions can be treated with a 2-byte extension prefix to
expand the range of the immediate operands used.
As a result instructions are no longer 4-byte aligned, instead they are
aligned to a multiple of 2. That left the bit #0 still unused for code
references, be it for the standard MIPS (i.e. as originally invented) or
for the MIPS16 instruction set, and based on that observation a clever
trick was invented that on one hand allowed the processor to be
seamlessly switched between the two instruction sets at any time at the
run time while on the other avoided the introduction of any special
control register to do that.
So it is the bit #0 of the instruction address that was chosen as the
selector and named the ISA bit. Any instruction executed at an even
address is interpreted as a standard MIPS instruction (the address still
has to have its bit #1 clear), any instruction executed at an odd
address is interpreted as a MIPS16 instruction.
To switch between modes ordinary jump instructions are used, such as
used for function calls and returns, specifically the bit #0 of the
source register used in jump-register instructions selects the execution
(ISA) mode for the following piece of code to be interpreted in.
Additionally new jump-immediate instructions were added that flipped the
ISA bit to select the opposite mode upon execution. They were
considered necessary to avoid the need to make register jumps in all
cases as the original jump-immediate instructions provided no way to
change the bit #0 at all.
This was all important for cases where standard MIPS and MIPS16 code had
to be mixed, either for compatibility with the existing binary code base
or to access resources not reachable from MIPS16 code (the MIPS16
instruction set only provides access to general-purpose registers, and
not for example floating-point unit registers or privileged coprocessor
0 registers) -- pieces of code in the opposite mode can be executed as
ordinary subroutine calls.
A similar approach has been more recently adopted for the MIPS16
replacement instruction set defined as the so called microMIPS ASE.
This is another instruction set encoding introduced to the MIPS
architecture. Just like the MIPS16 ASE, the microMIPS instruction set
uses a variable-length encoding, where each instruction takes a multiple
of 2 bytes. The ISA bit has been reused and for microMIPS-capable
processors selects between the standard MIPS and the microMIPS mode
instead.
2. Statement of the problem
To put it shortly, MIPS16 and microMIPS code pointers used by GDB are
different to these observed at the run time. This results in the same
expressions being evaluated producing different results in GDB and in
the program being debugged. Obviously it's the results obtained at the
run time that are correct (they define how the program behaves) and
therefore by definition the results obtained in GDB are incorrect.
A bit longer description will record that obviously at the run time the
ISA bit has to be set correctly (refer to background information above
if unsure why so) or the program will not run as expected. This is
recorded in all the executable file structures used at the run time: the
dynamic symbol table (but not always the static one!), the GOT, and
obviously in all the addresses embedded in code or data of the program
itself, calculated by applying the appropriate relocations at the static
link time.
While a program is being processed by GDB, the ISA bit is stripped off
from any code addresses, presumably to make them the same as the
respective raw memory byte address used by the processor to access the
instruction in the instruction fetch access cycle. This stripping is
actually performed outside GDB proper, in BFD, specifically
_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing (elfxx-mips.c, see the piece of code at
the very bottom of that function, starting with an: "If this is an
odd-valued function symbol, assume it's a MIPS16 or microMIPS one."
comment).
This function is also responsible for symbol table dumps made by
`objdump' too, so you'll never see the ISA bit reported there by that
tool, you need to use `readelf'.
This is however unlike what is ever done at the run time, the ISA bit
once present is never stripped off, for example a cast like this:
(short *) main
will not strip the ISA bit off and if the resulting pointer is intended
to be used to access instructions as data, for example for software
instruction decoding (like for fault recovery or emulation in a signal
handler) or for self-modifying code then the bit still has to be
stripped off by an explicit AND operation.
This is probably best illustrated with a simple real program example.
Let's consider the following simple program:
$ cat foobar.c
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) foo (void)
{
return 1;
}
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) bar (void)
{
return 2;
}
int __attribute__ ((nomips16)) foo32 (void)
{
return 3;
}
int (*foo32p) (void) = foo32;
int (*foop) (void) = foo;
int fooi = (int) foo;
int
main (void)
{
return foop ();
}
$
This is plain C with no odd tricks, except from the instruction mode
attributes. They are not necessary to trigger this problem, I just put
them here so that the program can be contained in a single source file
and to make it obvious which function is MIPS16 code and which is not.
Let's try it with Linux, so that everyone can repeat this experiment:
$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -g -O2 -o foobar foobar.c
$
Let's have a look at some interesting symbols:
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 7 entries:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
55: 00000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS foobar.c
66: 0040068c 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 bar
68: 00410848 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
70: 00410844 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
78: 00400684 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
80: 00400680 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 foo
88: 00410840 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
$
Hmm, no sight of the ISA bit, but notice how foo and bar (but not
foo32!) have been marked as MIPS16 functions (ELF symbol structure's
`st_other' field is used for that).
So let's try to run and poke at this program with GDB. I'll be using a
native system for simplicity (I'll be using ellipses here and there to
remove unrelated clutter):
$ ./foobar
$ echo $?
1
$
So far, so good.
$ gdb ./foobar
[...]
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400490: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb)
Yay, it worked! OK, so let's poke at it:
(gdb) print main
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400490 <main>
(gdb) print foo32
$2 = {int (void)} 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print foo32p
$3 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print bar
$4 = {int (void)} 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb) print foo
$5 = {int (void)} 0x400680 <foo>
(gdb) print foop
$6 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb)
A-ha! Here's the difference and finally the ISA bit!
(gdb) print /x fooi
$7 = 0x400681
(gdb) p/x $pc
p/x $pc
$8 = 0x400491
(gdb)
And here as well...
(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
0x00400680 <+0>: jr ra
0x00400682 <+2>: li v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo () at foobar.c:4
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $9 = 1
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14103) exited with code 01]
(gdb)
So let's be a bit inquisitive...
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb)
Actually we do not like to run foo here at all. Let's run bar instead!
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) print foop
$10 = (int (*)(void)) 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb)
Hmm, no ISA bit. Is it going to work?
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb) p/x $pc
$11 = 0x40068c
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:

0x0040068e <+2>: li v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 bar () at foobar.c:9
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb)
Oops!
(gdb) p/x $pc
$12 = 0x40068c
(gdb)
We're still there!
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)
So let's try something else:
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo
(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo:

0x00400682 <+2>: li v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo () at foobar.c:4
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
foo () at foobar.c:4
4 }
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)
The same problem!
(gdb) run
Starting program:
/net/build2-lucid-cs/scratch/macro/mips-linux-fsf-gcc/isa-bit/foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo32
(gdb) advance foo32
foo32 () at foobar.c:14
14 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo32:

End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo32 () at foobar.c:14
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $14 = 3
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14113) exited with code 03]
(gdb)
That did work though, so it's the ISA bit only!
(gdb) quit
Enough!
That's the tip of the iceberg only though. So let's rebuild the
executable with some dynamic symbols:
$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -Wl,--export-dynamic -g -O2 -o foobar-dyn foobar.c
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar-dyn | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 32 entries:
6: 004009cd 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 bar
8: 00410b88 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
9: 00410b84 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
15: 004009c4 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
17: 004009c1 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo
25: 00410b80 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
55: 00000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS foobar.c
69: 004009cd 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 bar
71: 00410b88 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
72: 00410b84 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
79: 004009c4 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
81: 004009c1 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo
89: 00410b80 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
$
OK, now the ISA bit is there for a change, but the MIPS16 `st_other'
attribute gone, hmm... What does `objdump' do then:
$ mips-linux-gnu-objdump -Tt foobar-dyn | egrep 'SYMBOL|foo|bar'
foobar-dyn: file format elf32-tradbigmips
SYMBOL TABLE:
00000000 l df *ABS* 00000000 foobar.c

004009c4 g F .text 00000008 foo32
004009c0 g F .text 00000004 0xf0 foo

004009c0 g DF .text 00000004 Base 0xf0 foo
00410b80 g DO .data 00000004 Base fooi
$
Hmm, the attribute (0xf0, printed raw) is back, and the ISA bit gone
again.

off a lot here for brevity) -- debug info:

-- see that "Advance PC by constant 17" there? It clears the ISA bit,
however code at 0x19646 is not standard MIPS code at all. For some
reason the constant is always 17, I've never seen DW_LNS_const_add_pc
used with any other value -- is that a binutils bug or what?
3. Solution:
I think we should retain the value of the ISA bit in code references,
that is effectively treat them as cookies as they indeed are (although
trivially calculated) rather than raw memory byte addresses.
In a perfect world both the static symbol table and the respective
DWARF-2 records should be fixed to include the ISA bit in all the cases.
I think however that this is infeasible.
All the uses of `_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing' can not necessarily be
tracked down. This function is used by `elf_slurp_symbol_table' that in
turn is used by `bfd_canonicalize_symtab' and
`bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_symtab', which are public interfaces.
Similarly DWARF-2 records are used outside GDB, one notable if a bit
questionable is the exception unwinder (libgcc/unwind-dw2.c) -- I have
identified at least bits in `execute_cfa_program' and
`uw_frame_state_for', both around the calls to `_Unwind_IsSignalFrame',
that would need an update as they effectively flip the ISA bit freely;
see also the comment about MASK_RETURN_ADDR in gcc/config/mips/mips.h.
But there may be more places. Any change in how DWARF-2 records are
produced would require an update there and would cause compatibility
problems with libgcc.a binaries already distributed; given that this is
a static library a complex change involving function renames would
likely be required.
I propose therefore to accept the existing inconsistencies and deal with
them entirely within GDB. I have figured out that the ISA bit lost in
various places can still be recovered as long as we have symbol
information -- that'll have the `st_other' attribute correctly set to
one of standard MIPS/MIPS16/microMIPS encoding.
Here's the resulting change. It adds a couple of new `gdbarch' hooks,
one to update symbol information with the ISA bit lost in
`_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing', and two other ones to adjust DWARF-2
records as they're processed. The ISA bit is set in each address
handled according to information retrieved from the symbol table for the
symbol spanning the address if any; limits are adjusted based on the
address they point to related to the respective base address.
Additionally minimal symbol information has to be adjusted accordingly
in its gdbarch hook.
With these changes in place some complications with ISA bit juggling in
the PC that never fully worked can be removed from the MIPS backend.
Conversely, the generic dynamic linker event special breakpoint symbol
handler has to be updated to call the minimal symbol gdbarch hook to
record that the symbol is a MIPS16 or microMIPS address if applicable or
the breakpoint will be set at the wrong address and either fail to work
or cause SIGTRAPs (this is because the symbol is handled early on and
bypasses regular symbol processing).
4. Results obtained
The change fixes the example above -- to repeat only the crucial steps:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400491: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) print foo
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068d <+0>: jr ra
0x0040068f <+2>: li v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 bar () at foobar.c:9
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $2 = 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14128) exited with code 02]
(gdb)
-- excellent!
The change removes about 90 failures per MIPS16 multilib in mips-sde-elf
testing too, results for MIPS16 are now similar to that for standard
MIPS; microMIPS results are a bit worse because of host-I/O problems in
QEMU used instead of MIPSsim for microMIPS testing only:

This makes gdbserver actually provide values for the TDB registers
when the inferior was stopped in a transaction. The change in
linux-low.c is needed to suppress the warning for an unavailable TDB.
The test case 's390-tdbregs.exp' passes with this patch and fails
without.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Suppress the
warning upon ENODATA from ptrace.
* linux-s390-low.c (s390_store_tdb): New.
(s390_regsets): Add regset for NT_S390_TDB.
For GNU/Linux targets using the regsets interface, this change
supports regsets that can be read but not written. The S390 "last
break" regset is an example. So far it had been defined with
regset->set_request == PTRACE_GETREGSET, such that the respective
ptrace call does not cause any harm. Now we just skip the whole
read/modify/write sequence for regsets that do not define a
fill_function.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_store_inferior_registers): Skip regsets
without a fill_function.
* linux-s390-low.c (s390_fill_last_break): Remove.
(s390_regsets): Set fill_function to NULL for NT_S390_LAST_BREAK.
(s390_arch_setup): Use regset's size instead of fill_function for
loop end condition.
When fetch_inferior_registers does not update all registers, this
patch assures that no stale register values remain in the register
cache. On Linux platforms using the regsets interface, when one of
the ptrace calls used for fetching the register values returns an
error, this patch also avoids copying the random data returned from
ptrace into the register cache. All unfetched registers are marked
"unavailable" instead.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Do not invoke
the regset's store function when ptrace returned an error.
* regcache.c (get_thread_regcache): Invalidate register cache
before fetching inferior's registers.
Replace the while-loops in linux-low.c that iterate over regsets by
for-loops. This makes it clearer what is iterated over. Also, since
"continue" now moves on to the next iteration without having to
increment the regset pointer first, the code is slightly reduced.
In case of EIO the old code did not increment the regset pointer, but
iterated over the same (now disabled) regset again. This extra
iteration is now avoided.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Rephrase
while-loop as for-loop.
(regsets_store_inferior_registers): Likewise.
Hi,
I see many fails in dw2-dir-file-name.exp on arm target when test
case is compiled with -marm, however, these fails are disappeared when
test case is compiled with -mthumb.
The difference of pass and fail shown below is that "0x000085d4 in" isn't
printed out, but test case expects to see it.
-Breakpoint 2, compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () at tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:999^M
-(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename
+Breakpoint 2, 0x000085d4 in compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () at tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:999^M
+(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename
This difference is caused by setting breakpoint at the first instruction
in the function (actually, the first instruction in prologue, at [1]),
so that frame_show_address returns false, and print_frame doesn't print the
address.
0x00008620 <+0>: push {r11} ; (str r11, [sp, #-4]!) <--[1]
0x00008624 <+4>: add r11, sp, #0
0x00008628 <+8>: ldr r3, [pc, #24] ; 0x8648 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename+40>
0x0000862c <+12>: ldr r3, [r3]
0x00008630 <+16>: add r3, r3, #1
0x00008634 <+20>: ldr r2, [pc, #12] ; 0x8648 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename+40>
Then, it must be the arm_skip_prologue's fault that unable to skip
instructions in prologue. At the end of arm_skip_prologue, it matches
several instructions, such as "str r(0123),[r11,#-nn]" and
"str r(0123),[sp,#nn]", but "push {r11}" isn't handled.
These instruction matching code in arm_skip_prologue, which can be regarded
as leftover of development for many years, should be merged to
arm_analyze_prologue and use arm_analyze_prologue in arm_skip_prologue.
Here is the something like the history of arm_{skip,scan,analyze}_prologue.
Around 2002, there are arm_skip_prologue and arm_scan_prologue, but code are
duplicated to some extent. When match an instruction, both functions should
be modified, for example in Michael Snyder's patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2002-05/msg00205.html and Michael
expressed the willingness to merge both into one. Daniel added code call
thumb_analyze_prologue in arm_skip_prologue in 2006, but didn't handle its
counterpart arm_analyze_prologue, which is added in 2010
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-03/msg00820.html>
however, the instructions matching at the bottom of arm_skip_prologue wasn't
cleaned up. This patch is to merge them into arm_analyze_prologue.

On Linux native, if dprintfs are inserted when detaching, they are left
in the inferior which causes it to crash from a SIGTRAP. It also happens
with dprintfs on remote targets, when set disconnected-dprintf is off.
The rationale of the line modified by the patch was to leave dprintfs
inserted in order to support disconnected dprintfs. However, not all
dprintfs are persistent. Also, there's no reason other kinds of
breakpoints can't be persistent either. So this replaces the bp_dprintf
check with a check on whether the location is persistent.
bl->target_info.persist will be 1 only if disconnected-dprintf is on and
we are debugging a remote target. On native, it will always be 0,
regardless of the value of disconnected-dprintf. This makes sense, since
disconnected dprintfs are not supported by the native target.
One issue about the test is that it does not pass when using
--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver, partly due to bug 17302 [1].
One quick hack I tried for this was to add a useless "next" between the
call to getpid() and detach, which avoids the bug. There is still one
case where the test fails, and that is with:
- breakpoint always-inserted on
- dprintf-style agent
- disconnected-dprintf on
What happens is that my detach does not actually detach the process,
because some persistent commands (the disconnected dprintf) is present.
However since gdbserver is ran with --once, when gdb disconnects,
gdbserver goes down and takes with it all the processes it spawned and
that are still under its control (which includes my test process).
When the test checks if the test process is still alive, it obvisouly
fails. Investigating about that led me to ask a question on the ML [2]
about the behavior of detach.
Until the remote case is sorted out, the problematic test is marked as
KFAIL.

When a thread exits, the terminal is left in mode "terminal_is_ours"
while the target executes. This patch fixes that.
We need to manually restore the terminal setting in this particular
observer. In the case of the other MI observers that call
target_terminal_ours, gdb will end up resuming the inferior later in the
execution and call target_terminal_inferior. In the case of the thread
exit event, we still need to call target_terminal_ours to be able to
print something, but there is nothing that gdb will need to resume after
that. We therefore need to call target_terminal_inferior ourselves.

That's right, block_lookup_symbol_primary()'s additional requirement over
block_lookup_symbol() is:
Function is useful if one iterates all global/static blocks of an
objfile.
Which is satisfied both in lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() and in
lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile() thanks to their's ALL_OBJFILE_COMPUNITS.
In fact after reverting that ba715d7fe4 above
the lines of code were exactly the same.
So instead of accelerating both lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() and
lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile() I just accelerated
lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() and I am proposing to reuse
lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() in lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile()
instead. In fact such unification would already save some lines of code even
before the checked-in acceleration patch above.

This patch is to remove the third argument of gdb_remote_download, so
that gdb_remote_download can return the correct location.
Further, these tests only copy .scm files to a different name. From what
I can tell from the comments, looks we do this to avoid clobbering file
in in-tree build. However, if source and dest of copy are the same, the
operation is no-op. So it makes few sense to copy .scm files to a
different names. I tried in-tree build/test with this patch, test

This patch causes regressions in ada's operator_bp.exp test.
That's because it uses wild_match which expects arguments in

There is still a bug here. It's hard to see because either minsyms
save the day, or the needed symtab gets expanded before linespecs
need it because of the call to cp_canonicalize_string_no_typedefs
in linespec.c:find_linespec_symbols.
But if you disable both of those things, then the bug is visible.

During debugging I get 10-30 seconds for a response to simple commands like:
(gdb) print vectorvar.size()
With this patch the performance gets to 1-2 seconds which is somehow
acceptable. The problem is that dwarf2_gdb_index_functions.lookup_symbol
(quick_symbol_functions::lookup_symbol) may return (and returns) NULL even for
symbols which are present in .gdb_index but which can be found in already
expanded symtab. But searching in the already expanded symtabs is just too
slow when there are 400000+ expanded symtabs. There would be needed some
single global hash table for each objfile so that one does not have to iterate
all symtabs. Which .gdb_index could perfectly serve for, just its
lookup_symbol() would need to return authoritative yes/no answers.
Even after such fix these two simple patches are useful for example for
non-.gdb_index files.

The necessity for this change has been revealed in the course of
investigation related to proposed changes in the treatment of the ISA
bit encoded in function symbols on the MIPS target. This change adds
support for Linux signal trampolines encoded with the microMIPS
instruction set. Such trampolines are used by the Linux kernel if
compiled as a microMIPS binary (even if the binary run/debugged itself
contains no microMIPS code at all).
To see if we need to check whether the execution mode selected matches
the given trampoline I have checked what the bit patterns of all the
trampoline sequences decode to in the opposite instruction set. This
produced useless or at least unusual code in most cases, for example:
microMIPS/EB, o32 sigreturn, decoded as MIPS code:
30401017 andi zero,v0,0x1017
00008b7c dsll32 s1,zero,0xd
MIPS/EL, o32 sigreturn, decoded as microMIPS code:
1017 2402 addi zero,s7,9218
000c 0000 sll zero,t0,0x0
However in some corner cases reasonable code can mimic a trampoline, for
example:
MIPS/EB, n32 rt_sigreturn, decoded as microMIPS code:
2402 sll s0,s0,1
1843 0000 sb v0,0(v1)
000c 0f3c jr t0
-- here the first instruction is a 16-bit one, making things nastier
even as there are some other microMIPS instructions whose first 16-bit
halfword is 0x000c and therefore matches this whole trampoline pattern.
To overcome this problem I have decided the signal trampoline unwinder
has to ask the platform backend whether it can apply a given trampoline
pattern to the code location being concerned or not. Anticipating the
acceptance of the ISA bit proposal I decided the handler not to merely
be a predicate, but also to be able to provide an adjusted PC if
required. I decided that returning zero will mean that the trampoline
pattern is not applicable and any other value is the adjusted PC to use;
a handler may return the value requested if the trampoline pattern and
the PC requested as-is are both accepted.
This changes the semantics of the trampoline unwinder a bit in that the
zero PC now has a special value. I think this should be safe as a NULL
pointer is generally supposed to be invalid.

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-05/msg00594.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-07/msg00284.html
However, minsyms pay the price for this space too.
For my standard benchmark this patch gets back 44MB of memory
when gdb starts. [There's still ~440MB of memory used
by the demangled ELF symbols of this benchmark, but that's another topic.]
When the improved templated support is added,
I wonder if this can be moved to struct symbol.
Hmmm, we already have a special version of
struct symbol for templates (struct template_symbol).

* symtab.c (symbol_init_cplus_specific): Delete.
(symbol_set_demangled_name): Remove special c++ support.

The test case builds two copies of the program, one with the compile
option "ldflags=-Wl,-Ttext=0x1000000" and the other with the address
changed to 0x2000000. However, when linking with ld.bfd, the
resulting executables crash early in ld.so on S390 and i386.
Analysis of the crash: The default linker script establishes a certain
order of loadable sections, and the option "-Ttext" effectively splits
these into an "unaffected" lot (everything before .text) and an
"affected" lot. The affected lot is placed at the given address,
whereas the unaffected lot stays at its default address. The
unaffected lot starts at an aligned address plus Elf header sizes,
which is good if it is the first LOAD segment (like on AMD64). But if
the affected lot comes first instead (like on S390 and i386), the PHDR
doesn't fit there and is placed *outside* any LOAD segments. Then the
PHDR is not mapped when the loader gets control, and the loader runs
into a segmentation fault while trying to access it.
Since we are lucky about the order of segments on AMD64, the test
succeeds there, but the resulting binaries are unusually large -- 2.1M
each, with lots of padding within.
When replacing '-Ttext' by '-Ttext-segment', the linker moves all
segments consistently, the binaries have normal sizes, and the test
case succeeds on all mentioned platforms.
Since old versions of the gold linker don't support '-Ttext-segment',
the patch also adds logic for falling back to '-Ttext'.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp: Specify the link address
with '-Ttext-segment' instead of '-Ttext'. Fall back to '-Ttext'
if the linker doesn't understand this.

There is already "add-auto-load-safe-path" which works
like "set auto-load safe-path" but in append mode.
There was missing an append equivalent for "set auto-load scripts-directory".
ABRT has directory /var/cache/abrt-di/ as an alternative one
to /usr/lib/debug/ . Therefore ABRT needs to use -iex parameters to add this
/var/cache/abrt-di/ directory as a first-class debuginfo directory.
Using absolute "set auto-load scripts-directory" would hard-code the path
possibly overriding local system directory additions; besides it would not be

Since Andreas Arnez' recent patch series, all Linux targets install

Linux native targets, old-style core sniffers are never used.
Most Linux targets haven't been using such sniffers for a long time
anyway, but a couple remain: ia64 and sparc use core-regset.o, and
m68k installs its own core_fns. All this is now dead code, which

I noticed that it passed when using Python 3, even though it should fail
because of the missing parentheses for the call print.
There needs to be more escaping of the square brackets. Currently, it is
interpreted as "any one character from this big list of characters,
followed by .*". When adding the required amount of backslashes, the
test starts failing as it should.
Moreover, both in Python 2.7 and Python 3.3 the numbers don't have the L
suffix, so now the test fails because of that. Anybody knows why they

commit 1a853c5224
Date: Wed Nov 12 10:10:49 2014 +0000
Subject: make "permanent breakpoints" per location and disableable
... broke function calls on sparc-elf when running over QEMU. Any
function call should demonstrate the problem.
For instance, seen from the debugger:
(gdb) call pn(1234)
[Inferior 1 (Remote target) exited normally]
The program being debugged exited while in a function called from GDB.
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
And seen from QEMU:
qemu: fatal: Trap 0x02 while interrupts disabled, Error state
[register dump removed]
What happens in this case is that GDB sets the inferior function call
by not only creating the dummy frame, but also writing a breakpoint
instruction at the return address for our function call. See infcall.c:
/* Write a legitimate instruction at the point where the infcall
breakpoint is going to be inserted. While this instruction
is never going to be executed, a user investigating the
memory from GDB would see this instruction instead of random
uninitialized bytes. We chose the breakpoint instruction
as it may look as the most logical one to the user and also
valgrind 3.7.0 needs it for proper vgdb inferior calls.
If software breakpoints are unsupported for this target we
leave the user visible memory content uninitialized. */
bp_addr_as_address = bp_addr;
bp_bytes = gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc (gdbarch, &bp_addr_as_address,
&bp_size);
if (bp_bytes != NULL)
write_memory (bp_addr_as_address, bp_bytes, bp_size);
This instruction triggers a change introduced by the commit above,
where we consider bp locations as being permanent breakpoints
if there is already a breakpoint instruction at that address:
+ if (bp_loc_is_permanent (loc))
+ {
+ loc->inserted = 1;
+ loc->permanent = 1;
+ }
As a result, when resuming the program's execution for the inferior
function call, GDB decides that it does not need to insert a breakpoint
at this address, expecting the target to just report a SIGTRAP when
trying to execute that instruction.
But unfortunately for us, at least some versions of QEMU for SPARC
just terminate the execution entirely instead of reporting a breakpoint,
thus producing the behavior reported here.
Although it appears like QEMU might be misbehaving and should therefore
be fixed (to be verified) from the user's point of view, the recent
change does introduce a regression. So this patch tries to mitigate
a bit the damage by handling such infcall breakpoints as special and
making sure that they are never considered permanent, thus restoring
the previous behavior specifically for those breakpoints.
The option of not writing the breakpoint instructions in the first
place was considered, and would probably work also. But the comment
associated to it seems to indicate that there is still reason to
keep it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.c (bp_loc_is_permanent): Return 0 if LOC corresponds
to a bp_call_dummy breakpoint type.
Tested on x86_64-linux. Also testing on sparc-elf/QEMU using
AdaCore's testsuite.
SA_RESTART allows system calls to be restarted across a signal handler.
By specifying this flag we fix the issue where if the user is being
prompted to answer yes or no, and the terminal gets resized in the
meantime, the prompt will think that the user sent an EOF and so it will
take the default action for that prompt (in the case of the quit prompt,
it will quit GDB).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-win.c (tui_initialize_win): Specify SA_RESTART when
registering the signal handler.
This patch fixes the annoying bug where key sequences such as Alt_F or
Alt_B (go forward or backwards by a word) do not behave promptly in TUI.
You have to press a third key in order for the key sequence to register.
This is mostly ncurses' fault. Calling wgetch() normally causes ncurses
to read only a single key from stdin. However if the key read is the
start-sequence key (^[ a.k.a. ESC) then wgetch() reads TWO keys from
stdin, storing the 2nd key into an internal FIFO buffer and returning
the start-sequence key. The extraneous read of the 2nd key makes us
miss its corresponding stdin event, so the event loop blocks until a
third key is pressed. This explains why such key sequences do not
behave promptly in TUI.
To fix this issue, we must somehow compensate for the missed stdin event
corresponding to the 2nd byte of a key sequence. This patch achieves
this by hacking up the stdin event handler to conditionally execute the
readline callback multiple times in a row. This is done via a new
global variable, call_stdin_event_handler_again_p, which is set from
tui_getc() when we receive a start-sequence key and notice extra pending
input in the ncurses buffer.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* event-top.h (call_stdin_event_handler_again_p): Declare.
* event-top.c (call_stdin_event_handler_again_p): Define.
(stdin_event_handler): Use it.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Prepare to call the stdin event
handler again if there is pending input following a
start sequence.
This way the user can know the index of the latest checkpoint without
having to run "info checkpoints" afterwards.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* linux-fork.c (checkpoint_command): Print index of new
checkpoint in response message.
In read_string, we have this line
chunksize = (len == -1 ? min (8, fetchlimit) : fetchlimit);
but chunksize is only used in the block that lne == -1, so IWBN to
move chunksize to the block in which it is used, and simplify the
condition setting chunksize. This patch also moves 'found_nul' to
inner block. This patch also splits a paragraph of comment into two,
and move them to different condition blocks (len > 0 and len == -1)
respectively.

MACRO_AT_func can be used in gdb.trace/entry-values.exp to correctly
get function's address in generated debug info. As a result, the test
is more friendly to clang. Currently, there are some fails in

applied, all fails go away.

This patch fixes two fails in dw2-compdir-oldgcc.exp I've seen on arm
target thumb mode.

FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-compdir-oldgcc.exp: info source gcc43
When fill in DW_AT_low_pc, the label should be used rather than the
function, otherwise, the LSB bit of the address in DW_AT_low_pc is
set and the debug info is wrong. This patch is to add two labels for
functions gcc42 and gcc43 respectively, and use them. These two
fails are fixed.

Consider the following variable declaration:
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
Var: Array_Type (0 .. -1);
"ptype var" prints the wrong upper bound for that array:
(gdb) ptype var
type = array (0 .. 4294967295) of integer
The debugging info for the type of variable "Var" is as follow:
<2><cf>: Abbrev Number: 13 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<d0> DW_AT_name : foo__var___PAD
<3><db>: Abbrev Number: 14 (DW_TAG_member)
<dc> DW_AT_name : F
<e0> DW_AT_type : <0xa5>
This is just an artifact from code generation, which is just
a wrapper that we should ignore. The real type is the type of
field "F" in that PAD type, which is described as:
<2><a5>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<a6> DW_AT_name : foo__TvarS
<3><b6>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<b7> DW_AT_type : <0xc1>
<bb> DW_AT_lower_bound : 0
<bc> DW_AT_upper_bound : 0xffffffff
Trouble occurs because DW_AT_upper_bound is encoded using
a DW_FORM_data4, which is ambiguous regarding signedness.
In that case, dwarf2read.c::dwarf2_get_attr_constant_value
reads the value as unsigned, which is not what we want
in this case.
As it happens, we already have code dealing with this situation
in dwarf2read.c::read_subrange_type which checks whether
the subrange's type is signed or not, and if it is, fixes
the bound's value by sign-extending it:
if (high.kind == PROP_CONST
&& !TYPE_UNSIGNED (base_type) && (high.data.const_val & negative_mask))
high.data.const_val |= negative_mask;
Unfortunately, what happens in our case is that the base type
of the array's subrange type is marked as being unsigned, and
so we never get to apply the sign extension. Following the DWARF
trail, the range's base type is described as another subrange type...
<2><c1>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<c7> DW_AT_name : foo__TTvarSP1___XDLU_0__1m
<cb> DW_AT_type : <0x2d>
... whose base type is, (finally), a basic type (signed):
<1><2d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<2e> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<2f> DW_AT_encoding : 5 (signed)
<30> DW_AT_name : integer
The reason why GDB thinks that foo__TTvarSP1___XDLU_0__1m
(the base type of the array's range type) is an unsigned type
is found in gdbtypes.c::create_range_type. We consider that
a range type is unsigned iff its lower bound is >= 0:
if (low_bound->kind == PROP_CONST && low_bound->data.const_val >= 0)
TYPE_UNSIGNED (result_type) = 1;
That is normally sufficient, as one would expect the upper bound to
always be greater or equal to the lower bound. But Ada actually
allows the declaration of empty range types where the upper bound
is less than the lower bound. In this case, the upper bound is
negative, so we should not be marking the type as unsigned.
This patch fixes the issue by simply checking the upper bound as well
as the lower bound, and clears the range type's unsigned flag when
it is found to be constant and negative.

* gdbtypes.c (create_range_type): Unset RESULT_TYPE's
flag_unsigned if HIGH_BOUND is constant and negative.

This patch intends to partially fix PR breakpoints/10737, which is
about making the syscall information (for the "catch syscall" command)
be per-arch, instead of global. This is not a full fix because of the
other issues pointed by Pedro here:
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10737#c5>
However, I consider it a good step towards the real fix. It will also
help me fix <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17402>.
What this patch does, basically, is move the "syscalls_info"
struct to gdbarch. Currently, the syscall information is stored in a
global variable inside gdb/xml-syscall.c, which means that there is no
easy way to correlate this info with the current target or
architecture being used, for example. This causes strange behaviors,
because the syscall info is not re-read when the arch changes. For
example, if you put a syscall catchpoint in syscall 5 on i386 (syscall
open), and then load a x86_64 program on GDB and put the same syscall
5 there (fstat on x86_64), you will still see that GDB tells you that
it is catching "open", even though it is not. With this patch, GDB
correctly says that it will be catching fstat syscalls.
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'open' [5])
But with the patch:
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'fstat' [5])
As I said, there are still some problems on the "catch syscall"
mechanism, because (for example) the user should be able to "catch
syscall open" on i386, and then expect "open" to be caught also on
x86_64. Currently, it doesn't work. I intend to work on this later.

Currently "symtabs" in gdb are stored as a single linked list of
struct symtab that contains both symbol symtabs (the blockvectors)
and file symtabs (the linetables).
This has led to confusion, bugs, and performance issues.
This patch is conceptually very simple: split struct symtab into
two pieces: one part containing things common across the entire
compilation unit, and one part containing things specific to each
source file.
Example.
For the case of a program built out of these files:
foo.c
foo1.h
foo2.h
bar.c
foo1.h
bar.h
Today we have a single list of struct symtabs:
objfile -> foo.c -> foo1.h -> foo2.h -> bar.c -> foo1.h -> bar.h -> NULL
where "->" means the "next" pointer in struct symtab.
With this patch, that turns into:
objfile -> foo.c(cu) -> bar.c(cu) -> NULL
| |
v v
foo.c bar.c
| |
v v
foo1.h foo1.h
| |
v v
foo2.h bar.h
| |
v v
NULL NULL
where "foo.c(cu)" and "bar.c(cu)" are struct compunit_symtab objects,
and the files foo.c, etc. are struct symtab objects.
So now, for example, when we want to iterate over all blockvectors
we can now just iterate over the compunit_symtab list.
Plus a lot of the data that was either unused or replicated for each
symtab in a compilation unit now lives in struct compunit_symtab.
E.g., the objfile pointer, the producer string, etc.
I thought of moving "language" out of struct symtab but there is
logic to try to compute the language based on previously seen files,
and I think that's best left as is for now.
With my standard monster benchmark with -readnow (which I can't actually
do, but based on my calculations), whereas today the list requires
77MB to store all the struct symtabs, it now only requires 37MB.
A modest space savings given the gigabytes needed for all the debug info,
etc. Still, it's nice. Plus, whereas today we create a copy of dirname
for each source file symtab in a compilation unit, we now only create one
for the compunit.
So this patch is basically just a data structure reorg,
I don't expect significant performance improvements from it.
Notes:
1) A followup patch can do a similar split for struct partial_symtab.
I have left that until after I get the changes I want in to
better utilize .gdb_index (it may affect how we do partial syms).
2) Another followup patch *could* rename struct symtab.
The term "symtab" is ambiguous and has been a source of confusion.
In this patch I'm leaving it alone, calling it the "historical" name
of "filetabs", which is what they are now: just the file-name + line-table.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/maint.exp: Update expected output.
Jan noticed that gdb.ada/arrayidx.exp regressed after I applied
the following patch:
commit 8908fca577
Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>
Date: Sat Sep 27 09:09:34 2014 -0700
Subject: [Ada] Ignore __XA types when redundant.
What happens is that we're trying to print the value of
r_two_three, which is defined as follow:
type Index is (One, Two, Three);
type RTable is array (Index range Two .. Three) of Integer;
R_Two_Three : RTable := (2, 3);
The expected output is:
(gdb) p r_two_three
$1 = (two => 2, 3)
But after the patch above was applied, with the program program
compiled using gcc-gnat-4.9.2-1.fc21.x86_64 (x86_64-linux),
the output becomes:
(gdb) p r_two_three
$1 = (2, 3)
(the name of the first bound is missing). The problem comes from
the fact that the compiler described the array's index type as
a plain base type, instead of as a subrange of the enumerated type.
More particularly, this is what gcc-gnat-4.9.2-1.fc21.x86_64
generated:
<3><7ce>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<7cf> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xc13): p__rtable
[...]
<7d7> DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type: <0x98a>
[...]
<4><7df>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<7e0> DW_AT_type : <0xa79>
where DIE 0xa79 is:
<1><a79>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<a7a> DW_AT_byte_size : 8
<a7b> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<a7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xfc): sizetype
The actual array subrange type can be found in the array's
parallel XA type (the DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type).
The recent commit correctly found that that bounds taken from
the descriptive type are the same as bounds of our array's index
type. But it failed to notice that ignoring this descriptive
type would make us lose the actual array index type, making us
think that we're printing an array indexed by integers.
I hadn't seen that problem, because the compiler I used produced
debugging info where the array's index type is correctly described:
<3><79f>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<7a0> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb3d): p__rtable
[...]
<4><7b0>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<7b1> DW_AT_type : <0x9b2>
<7b5> DW_AT_upper_bound : 2
... where DIE 0x9b2 leads us to ...
<3><9b2>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<9b8> DW_AT_type : <0x962>
<2><962>: Abbrev Number: 22 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<963> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb34): p__index
[...]
This patch fixes the issue by also making sure that the subtype
of the original range type does match the subtype found in the
descriptive type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_is_redundant_range_encoding): Return 0
if the TYPE_CODE of range_type's base type does not match
the TYPE_CODE of encoding_type's base type.
The bp-permanent test case assumes that a NOP is exactly as long as a
software breakpoint. This is not the case for the S390 "nop"
instruction, which is 4 bytes long, while a software breakpoint is
just 2 bytes long. The "nopr" instruction has the right size and can
be used instead.
Without this patch the test case fails on S390 when trying to continue
after SIGTRAP on the permanent breakpoint:
...
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
test () at /home/arnez/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/bp-permanent.c:40
40 NOP; /* after permanent bp */
(gdb)
FAIL: gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp: always_inserted=off, sw_watchpoint=0:
basics: stop at permanent breakpoint
With this patch the test case succeeds without any FAILs.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/bp-permanent.c (NOP): Define as 2-byte instead of
4-byte instruction on S390.
Using the example in gdb.ada/complete.exp, the following command
on x86_64-windows returns one unwanted completion choice :
(gdb) complete p pck
p <pck_E>>
[all following completions entries snipped, all expected]
I tracked down this suprising entry to a minimal symbol whose name
is ".refptr.pck_E". The problem occurs while trying to see if
this symbol matches "pck" when doing wild-matching as we are doing
here:
/* Second: Try wild matching... */
if (!match && wild_match_p)
{
/* Since we are doing wild matching, this means that TEXT
may represent an unqualified symbol name. We therefore must
also compare TEXT against the unqualified name of the symbol. */
sym_name = ada_unqualified_name (ada_decode (sym_name));
if (strncmp (sym_name, text, text_len) == 0)
match = 1;
}
What happens is that ada_decode correctly identifies the fact that
SYM_NAME (".refptr.pck_E") is not following any GNAT encoding, and
therefore returns that same name, but bracketed: "<.refptr.pck_E>".
This is the convention we use for telling GDB that the decoded name
is not a real Ada name - and therefore should not be encoded for
operations such as name matching, symbol lookups, etc. So far, so good.
Next is the call to ada_unqualified_name, which unfortunately does
not notice that the decoded name it is being given isn't a natural
symbol, and just blindly strips everything up to the last do, returning
"pck_E>". And of course, "pck_E>" matches "pck" now, and so we end
up accepting this symbol as a match.
This patch fixes the problem by making ada_unqualified_name a little
smarter by making sure that the given decoded symbol name does not
start with '<'.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unqualified_name): Return DECODED_NAME if
it starts with '<'.
Tested on x86_64-windows using AdaCore's testsuite as well as
on x86_64-linux.
Consider the following code which declares a variable A2 which
is an array of arrays of integers.
type Array2_First is array (24 .. 26) of Integer;
type Array2_Second is array (1 .. 2) of Array2_First;
A1 : Array1_Second := ((10, 11, 12), (13, 14, 15));
Trying to print the type of that variable currently yields:
(gdb) ptype A2
type = array (1 .. 2, 24 .. 26) of integer
This is not correct, as this is the description of a two-dimension
array, which is different from an array of arrays. The expected
output is:
(gdb) ptype a2
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo_n926_029.array2_first
GDB's struct type currently handles multi-dimension arrays the same
way arrays of arrays, where each dimension is stored as a sub-array.
The ada-valprint module considers that consecutive array layers
are in fact multi-dimension arrays. For array of arrays, a typedef
layer is introduced between the two arrays, creating a break between
each array type.
In our situation, A2 is a described as a typedef of an array type...
.uleb128 0x8 # (DIE (0x125) DW_TAG_variable)
.ascii "a2\0" # DW_AT_name
.long 0xfc # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xfc) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF5 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_second"
.long 0x107 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x5 # (DIE (0x107) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF5 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_second"
.long 0xb4 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x6 # (DIE (0x114) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x11b # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x2 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x107
... whose element type is, as expected, a typedef to the sub-array
type:
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xb4) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first"
.long 0xbf # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0xbf) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first"
.long 0xd8 # DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type
.long 0x1c5 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0xa # (DIE (0xd0) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0xf0 # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x18 # DW_AT_lower_bound
.byte 0x1a # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0xbf
The reason why things fails is that, during expression evaluation,
GDB tries to "fix" A1's type. Because the sub-array has a parallel
(descriptive) type (DIE 0xd8), GDB thinks that our array's index
type must be dynamic and therefore needs to be fixed. This in turn
causes the sub-array to be "fixed", which itself results in the
typedef layer to be stripped.
However, looking closer at the parallel type, we see...
.uleb128 0xb # (DIE (0xd8) DW_TAG_structure_type)
.long .LASF8 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first___XA"
[...]
.uleb128 0xc # (DIE (0xe4) DW_TAG_member)
.long .LASF10 # DW_AT_name: "foo__Tarray2_firstD1___XDLU_24__26"
... that all it tells us is that the array bounds are 24 and 26,
which is already correctly provided by the array's DW_TAG_subrange_type
bounds, meaning that this parallel type is just redundant.
Parallel types in general are slowly being removed in favor of
standard DWARF constructs. But in the meantime, this patch kills
two birds with one stone:
1. It recognizes this situation where the XA type is useless,
and saves an unnecessary range-type fixing;
2. It fixes the issue at hand because ignoring the XA type results
in no type fixing being required, which allows the typedef layer
to be preserved.

... when that packed array is part of a discriminated record and
one of the bounds is a discriminant.
Consider the following code:
type FUNNY_CHAR_T is (NUL, ' ', '"', '#', [etc]);
type FUNNY_STR_T is array (POSITIVE range <>) of FUNNY_CHAR_T;
pragma PACK (FUNNY_STR_T);
type FUNNY_STRING_T (SIZE : NATURAL := 1) is
record
STR : FUNNY_STR_T (1 .. SIZE) := (others => '0');
LENGTH : NATURAL := 4;
end record;
TEST: FUNNY_STRING_T(100);
GDB is able to print the value of variable "test" and "test.str".
But not "test.str(1)":
(gdb) p test
$1 = (size => 100, str => (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>), length => 1)
(gdb) p test.str
$2 = (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>)
(gdb) p test.str(1)
object size is larger than varsize-limit
The problem occurs during the phase where we are trying to resolve
the expression subscript operation. On the one hand of the subscript
operator, we have the result of the evaluation of "test.str", which
is our packed array. We have the following code to handle packed
arrays in particular:
if (ada_is_constrained_packed_array_type
(desc_base_type (value_type (argvec[0]))))
argvec[0] = ada_coerce_to_simple_array (argvec[0]);
This eventually leads to a call to constrained_packed_array_type
to return the "simple array". This function relies on a parallel
___XA type, when available, to determine the bounds. In our case,
we find type...
failure__funny_string_t__T4b___XA"
... which has one field describing the bounds of our array as:
failure__funny_string_t__T3b___XDLU_1__size
The part that interests us is after the ___XD suffix or,
in other words: "LU_1__size". What this means in GNAT encoding
parlance is that the lower bound is 1, and that the upper bound
is the value of "size". "size" is our discriminant in this case.
Normally, we would access the record's discriminant in order to
get the upper bound's value, but we do not have that information,
here. We are in a mode where we are just trying to "fix" the type
without an actual value. This is what the call to to_fixed_range_type
is doing, and because the fix'ing fails, it ends up returning
the ___XDLU type unmodified as our index type.
This shouldn't be a problem, except that the later part of
constrained_packed_array_type then uses that index_type to
determine the array size, via a call to get_discrete_bounds.
The problem is that the upper bound of the ___XDLU type is
dynamic (in the DWARF sense) while get_discrete_bounds implicitly
assumes that the bounds are static, and therefore accesses
them using macros that assume the bounds values are constants:
case TYPE_CODE_RANGE:
*lowp = TYPE_LOW_BOUND (type);
*highp = TYPE_HIGH_BOUND (type);
This therefore returns a bogus value for the upper bound,
leading to an unexpectedly large size for our array, which
later triggers the varsize-limit guard we've seen above.
This patch avoids the problem by adding special handling
of dynamic range types. It also extends the documentation
of the constrained_packed_array_type function to document
what happens in this situation.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (constrained_packed_array_type): Set the length
of the return array as if both bounds where zero if that

I cross-compile gdb for msdosdjgpp (both target and host is
i586-pc-msdosdjgpp), so the CC should be i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc.
However, CC is set incorrectly to gcc after config/i386/go32.mh is inlined
into the Makefile.
This patch is to remove the CC setting in config/i386/go32.mh.

* config/i386/go32.mh (CC): Remove.
This patch is conceptually quite simple.
If you look at end_symtab_from_static_block you'll see
that the static_block == NULL case is completely different
than the non-NULL case.
There's a lot of complexity to handle the NULL case but it seems
entirely unnecessary. For example, whether blockvector is NULL
is decided at the start, before this for loop:
for (subfile = subfiles; subfile; subfile = nextsub)
Secondly, after the for loop, we test symtab for non-NULL here:
/* Set this for the main source file. */
if (symtab)
but symtab will only ever be non-NULL if blockvector was non-NULL.
And if blockvector was non_NULL so will symtab.
The other case to consider is these lines of code executed before
the for loop:
/* Read the line table if it has to be read separately.
This is only used by xcoffread.c. */
if (objfile->sf->sym_read_linetable != NULL)
objfile->sf->sym_read_linetable (objfile);
/* Handle the case where the debug info specifies a different path
for the main source file. It can cause us to lose track of its
line number information. */
watch_main_source_file_lossage ();
From my reading of the code, neither of these is useful
in the static_block == NULL case.
Thus we can make the code more readable by splitting these two cases up,
which is what this patch does.

They happen for two reasons.
- mingw32 does not define SIGTRAP, so upon recording a core file, the
signal information will be missing, which in turn causes GDB to not
display the stopping signal when it loads the same core file. An
earlier message warns about this:
"warning: Signal SIGTRAP does not exist on this system."
- The testcase is crafted in a way that expects a pattern of the
stopping signal message instead of a successful core file read message.
The following patch fixes this by changing the old pattern to a more
reasonable one, while still ignoring the fact that mingw32-based GDB
does not record a SIGTRAP in a core file because it does not define
it.

We noticed the following error on ppc-lynx178, using just about
any program:

And, of course, trying to continue yielded the expected outcome:

warning: Error removing breakpoint 1
Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.
Further execution is probably impossible.
It turns out that the problem is caused by an intentional test
against a variable with an undefined value. After GDB receives
notification of the inferior stopping, it tries to remove the
breakpoint by sending a memory-write packet ("X10844,4:9 ").
This leads us to lynx_write_memory, where it tries to split
the memory-write into chunks of 4 bytes. And, in order to handle
writes which are not aligned on word boundaries, we have the
following code:
if (skip > 0 || truncate > 0)
/* We need to read the memory at this address in order to preserve
the data that we are not overwriting. */
lynx_read_memory (addr, (unsigned char *) &buf, xfer_size);
if (errno)
return errno;
(the comment explains what the code is about).
Unfortunately, the not-so-glaring error that we've made here is
that we're checking ERRNO regardless of whether we've called
lynx_read_memory. In our case, because we are writing 4 bytes
aligned on a word boundary, we do not call lynx_read_memory and
therefore test an ERRNO with an undefined value.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (lynx_write_memory): Put lynx_read_memory and
corresponding ERRNO check in same block.
Dwarf::tu and Dwarf::cu allow selection of units with 64-bit offsets
through an option. When selected, unit size is encoded properly, but
offset to abbreviation unit is still encoded in a 4-byte field. This
patch fixes the problem.
Reproducer:
Dwarf::assemble "blah.s" {
tu {is_64 1 version 4 addr_size 8} 0x1122334455667788 the_type {
type_unit {} { the_type: }

}
}

Basically the problem is that "symtab" is ambiguous.
Is it the primary symtab (where we canonically think of
blockvectors as being stored) or is it for a specific file
(where each file's line table is stored) ?
gdb_disassembly wants the symtab that contains the line table
but is instead getting the primary symtab.

This patch just renames one function.
Its only caller is in stack.c where we're printing a backtrace
with non-zero info_verbose and we want to make sure all the needed
symtabs are expanded before printing the backtrace
so that debug symbol reading messages don't pollute the backtrace.
I think the new name of the function makes clearer to the reader
what is going on.

When trying to build gdbserver on ppc-lynx178, the compiler reports
while trying to compile gdbserver/ax.c that vsprintf is not declared.
Looking at my C99 reference manual (a draft), I see the following
synopsis:
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int vsprintf(char * restrict s, [etc]);
Looking at stdio.h on LynxOS-178, if found where vsprintf gets
declared:
#if defined(__varargs_h) || defined(__stdarg_h) \
|| defined(_VARARGS_H) || defined(_STDARG_H)
extern int vsprintf _AP((char *, const char *, va_list));
#endif
Digging further, I noticed that common-defs.h, which is included
via server.h, includes stdarg.h after including stdio, explaining
why vsprintf does not get declared in this case.
This patch fixes the problem by including stdarg.h before stdio.h.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/common-defs.h: Move <stdarg.h> #include ahead of
<stdio.h> #include.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
We're currently pulling gnulib's errno module as a dependency of some
other module. That provides an errno.h that defines EILSEQ to a
distinct value if the system's errno.h doesn't define it already.
However, GNU iconv does this:
/* Get errno declaration and values. */
#include <errno.h>
/* Some systems, like SunOS 4, don't have EILSEQ. Some systems, like BSD/OS,
have EILSEQ in a different header. On these systems, define EILSEQ
ourselves. */
#ifndef EILSEQ
#define EILSEQ @EILSEQ@
#endif
That's in:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libiconv.git/tree/include/iconv.h.in
The "different header" mentioned is wchar.h. This is handled in:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libiconv.git/tree/m4/eilseq.m4
which defines @EILSEQ@ to ENOENT if EILSEQ isn't found in either
errno.h or wchar.h.
So if iconv sets errno to EILSEQ on such system's, it's really setting
it to ENOENT. And when we check for EILSEQ, we're checking for
gnulib's value. The result is we won't detect the error correctly.
As we dropped support for both SunOS 4 or old BSD/OS, maybe we don't
need to care about the wchar.h issue anymore. Still, AFAICS, gnulib's
m4/errno_h.m4 doesn't know that EILSEQ may be defined in wchar.h, and
so on such systems, ISTM gnulib ends up defining an incompatible
EILSEQ itself, but I think that should be fixed on the gnulib side, by
making it extract the EILSEQ value out of the system's wchar.h, like
GNU iconv does.
So that leaves handling the case of gnulib making up a EILSEQ value,
which we take as meaning the system really doesn't really define it,
which will be the same systems GNU iconv sets errno to ENOENT instead
of EILSEQ.
Looking at glibc's iconv it seems that ENOENT is never used there.
It seems it's safe to always treat ENOENT the same as EILSEQ.
The current EILSEQ definition under PHONY_ICONV is obviously stale as
gnulib garantees there's always a EILSEQ defined.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

The patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00202.html>
fixed dw2-ifort-parameter.exp on powerpc64 by adding some labels to
get the start and end address of function func. This should also fix the
fail on thumb mode, however, this style is quite specific to gcc, and
other compiler, such as clang, may not guarantee the order of global
asms and functions. The test fails with clang:
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='dw2-ifort-parameter.exp CC_FOR_TARGET=clang'
(gdb) p/x param^M
No symbol "param" in current context.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ifort-parameter.exp: p/x param
With this patch applied, dw2-ifort-parameter.exp still passes for gcc
on arm thumb mode and popwerpc64, and it also passes for clang on
x86_linux.

Hi,

The cause of both is that we incorrectly set attribute low_pc, since
main isn't resolved to function start address on these targets.
In this patch, we replace attributes name, low_pc and high_pc with
MACRO_AT_func. The fail on thumb mode is fixed, and crash on
powerpc64 is fixed too.

getting main's length. This patch fixes fails on both thumb mode and
powerpc64 target.

* gdb.dwarf2/main.c (main): Add label main_label.
This patch addes DW macro attributes MACRO_AT_func and MACRO_AT_range
in dwarf assembler, which emits "DW_AT_low_pc func_start addr" and
"DW_AT_high_pc func_end addr". func_start and func_end are computed
automatically by proc function_range.
These two attributes are pseudo attribute or macro attribute, which
means they are not standard dwarf attribute in dwarf spec. Then can
be substituted or expanded to standard attributes or macro attributes.
See details in the comments to them. Dwarf assembler is extended to
handle them.
Now the attributes name/low_pc/high_pc can be replaced with
MACRO_AT_func like this:
subprogram {
{name main}
{low_pc main_start addr}
{high_pc main_end addr}
}
becomes:
subprogram {
{MACRO_AT_func { main ${srcdir}/${subdir}/${srcfile} }}
}
users don't have to worry about the start and end of function main, and
they only need to add a label main_label in main.
