Consider the following declarations...
type Obj_T (Selected_Flights_Length : Natural) is
record
Selected_Flights : Flights.List.T (1 .. Selected_Flights_Length);
end record;
Broken : Obj_T;
... which defines a variable named "broken" which is a discrimated
record where broken.Selected_Flights is an array whose upper bound
is stored in the record's Selected_Flights_Length component.
Trying to print the value of that object currently fails:
(gdb) print broken
cannot find reference address for offset property
Looking at the debugging info, we see that variable "Broken" is
a reference...

<82b> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x7fb>
<3><82f>: Abbrev Number: 0
Because the upper bound is dynamic, we try to resolve it.
As it happens, the upper-bound resolution for this range type
works fine. What breaks is when we try to resolve this range
type's target type, which is:
<2><830>: Abbrev Number: 16 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<831> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x7fb>
<835> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xc7b): reprod__obj_t__T4s___XDLU_1__selected_flights_length
<839> DW_AT_type : <0x766>
<83d> DW_AT_artificial : 1
It is actually pretty much the same as the first subrange type,
so you might ask why this is causing trouble, when the resolution
of the previous DIE worked like a charm???
Well, for that, we need to backtrack a bit, and notice that, ahead
of the DW_TAG_structure_type's DIE, there is the following DIE:
<1><7e1>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_typedef)
<7e2> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xbae): reprod__obj_t__T5s
<7e6> DW_AT_decl_file : 2
<7e7> DW_AT_decl_line : 17
<7e8> DW_AT_type : <0x849>
... and that DIE references an array type...
<2><849>: Abbrev Number: 14 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<84a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xbae): reprod__obj_t__T5s
<84e> DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type: <0x864>
<852> DW_AT_type : <0x748>
<856> DW_AT_sibling : <0x864>
... whose subrange is...
<3><85a>: Abbrev Number: 15 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<85b> DW_AT_type : <0x830>
<85f> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x7fb>
... where the subrange's base type is the DW_TAG_subrange_type DIE
that is causing problem.
In summary, we process the typedef first, which causes us to process
the second subrange BEFORE we process the struct DIE itself, and
therefore the struct's discriminent (DW_TAG_member #1). As a result,
while trying to handle the reference to that DW_TAG_member #1 as
the upper bound of the second range type, we do...
case DW_AT_data_member_location:
{
[...]
baton->referenced_type = get_die_type (target_die->parent,
target_cu);
... where target_die->parent (DW_TAG_member #1) hasn't been processed
yet, and thus get_die_type returns NULL.
This is what later causes us problems trying to find the right address
to use as the base address for our field, which then triggers the
error message we are seeing.
This patch fixes the issue by calling read_type_die instead of
get_die_type. If the DIE has already been processed, then this
is the same as get_die_type. If not, the it'll get the parent
die to be read, and then get its type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (attr_to_dynamic_prop)
<DW_AT_data_member_location>: Use read_type_die isntead of
get_die_type.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
No testcase, unfortunately, as the reproducer was given to us by
a customer, and it's been otherwise surprisingly difficult to
reproduce the same error outside of that reproducer.
Consider the following code, which defines a function, Child2,
which is itself nested inside Child1:
procedure Foo_O224_021 is
O1 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
procedure Child1 is
O2 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
function Child2 (S : String) return Boolean is -- STOP
begin
for C of S loop
Do_Nothing (C);
if C = 'o' then
return True;
end if;
end loop;
return False;
end Child2;
R : Boolean;
begin
R := Child2 ("Foo");
R := Child2 ("Bar");
R := Child2 ("Foobar");
end Child1;
begin
Child1;
end Foo_O224_021;
On x86_64-linux, when compiled at -O2, GDB is unable to insert
a breakpoint on Child2:
% gnatmake -g -O2 foo_o224_021
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) b child2
Function "child2" not defined.
(gdb) b foo_o224_021.child1.child2
Function "foo_o224_021.child1.child2" not defined.
The problem is caused by the fact that GDB did not create a symbol
for Child2, and this, in turn, is caused by the fact that the compiler
decided to inline Child1, but not Child2. The DWARF debugging info
first provides an abstract instance tree for Child1...
<3><1b7b>: Abbrev Number: 29 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x23f8): foo_o224_021__child1
<1b82> DW_AT_inline : 1 (inlined)
<1b83> DW_AT_sibling : <0x1c01>
... where that subprogram is given the DW_AT_inline attribute.
Inside that function there is a lexical block which has no PC
range (corresponding to the fact that this is the abstract tree):
<4><1b87>: Abbrev Number: 30 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
... inside which our subprogram Child2 is described:
<5><1b92>: Abbrev Number: 32 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b93> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2452): foo_o224_021__child1__child2
<1b99> DW_AT_type : <0x1ab1>
<1b9d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x402300
<1ba5> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x57
[...]
Then, later on, we get the concrete instance tree, starting at:
<3><1c5e>: Abbrev Number: 41 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<1c5f> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b7b>
<1c63> DW_AT_entry_pc : 0x4025fd
<1c6b> DW_AT_ranges : 0x150
... which refers to Child1. One of that inlined subroutine children
is the concrete instance of the empty lexical block we saw above
(in the abstract instance tree), which gives the actual address
range for this inlined instance:
<5><1c7a>: Abbrev Number: 43 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
<1c7b> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b87>
<1c7f> DW_AT_ranges : 0x180
This is the DIE which provides the context inside which we can
record Child2. But unfortunately, GDB does not take the abstract
origin into account when handling lexical blocks, causing it
to miss the fact that this block contains some symbols described
in the abstract instance tree. This is the first half of this patch:
modifying GDB to follow DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes for
lexical blocks.
But this not enough to fix the issue, as we're still unable to
break on Child2 with just that change. The second issue can be
traced to the way inherit_abstract_dies determines the list of
DIEs to inherit from. For that, it iterates over all the DIEs in
the concrete instance tree, and finds the list of DIEs from the
abstract instance tree that are not referenced from the concrete
instance tree. As it happens, there is one type of DIE in the
concrete instance tree which does reference Child2's DIE, but
in fact does otherwise define a concrete instance of the reference
DIE; that's (where <0x1b92> is Child2's DIE):
<6><1d3c>: Abbrev Number: 35 (DW_TAG_GNU_call_site)
<1d3d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4026a4
<1d45> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b92>
So, the second part of the patch is to modify inherit_abstract_dies
to ignore DW_TAG_GNU_call_site DIEs when iterating over the concrete
instance tree.
This patch also includes a testcase which can be used to reproduce
the issue. Unfortunately, for it to actually pass, a smal patch in
GCC is also necessary to make sure that GCC provides lexical blocks'
DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes from the concrete tree back to
the abstract tree. We hope to be able to submit and integrate that
patch in the GCC tree soon. Meanwhile, a setup_xfail has been added.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (dw2_expand_symtabs_matching): Add some QUIT calls.
Variables with a DW_AT_const_value but without a DW_AT_location were not
getting added to the partial symbol table. They are added to the full
symbol table, however, when the compilation unit's psymtabs are
expanded.
Before:
(gdb) p one
No symbol "one" in current context.
(gdb) mt flush-symbol-cache
(gdb) mt expand one.c
(gdb) p one
$1 = 1
After:
(gdb) p one
$1 = 1
To the user it's pretty strange, as depending on whether tab completion
has forced expansion of all CUs or not the lookup might succeed, or not
if the failure was already added to the symbol cache.
This commit simply makes sure to add constants to the partial symbol
tables.

This bug appears to be caused by bad debuginfo. The method
causing the sefault in the reporter's test case is marked both static
and virtual.
This patch simply safegaurds against this case in dwarf2_add_member_fn,
where the code assumes that there is a `this' pointer when a virtual method
is seen (more specifically, when DW_AT_vtable_elem is seen).
It previously dereferenced the first formal parameter
(`this' pointer), which in this case doesn't exist. GDB consequently
segfaulted dereferencing a NULL pointer.

This patch introduces a linked list for dynamic attributes of a type.
This is a pre-work for the Fortran dynamic array support. The Fortran
dynamic array support will add more dynamic attributes to a type.

multiple attributes to main_type.

This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

This patch renames symbols that happen to have names which are
reserved keywords in C++.
Most of this was generated with Tromey's cxx-conversion.el script.
Some places where later hand massaged a bit, to fix formatting, etc.
And this was rebased several times meanwhile, along with re-running
the script, so re-running the script from scratch probably does not
result in the exact same output. I don't think that matters anyway.

Every type has to pay the price in memory usage for their presence.
The proper place for them is in the type_specific field which exists
for this purpose.

This patch moves TYPE_SELF_TYPE into new field type_specific.self_type
for MEMBERPTR,METHODPTR types, and into type_specific.func_stuff
for METHODs, and then updates everything to use that.
TYPE_CODE_METHOD could share some things with TYPE_CODE_FUNC
(e.g. TYPE_NO_RETURN) and it seemed simplest to keep them together.
Moving TYPE_SELF_TYPE into type_specific.func_stuff for TYPE_CODE_METHOD
is also nice because when we allocate space for function types we assume
they're TYPE_CODE_FUNCs. If TYPE_CODE_METHODs don't need or use that
space then that space would be wasted, and cleaning that up would involve
more invasive changes.
In order to catch errant uses I've added accessor functions
that do some checking.
One can no longer assign to TYPE_SELF_TYPE like this:
TYPE_SELF_TYPE (foo) = bar;
One instead has to do:
set_type_self_type (foo, bar);
But I've left reading of the type to the macro:
bar = TYPE_SELF_TYPE (foo);
In order to discourage bypassing the TYPE_SELF_TYPE macro
I've named the underlying function that implements it
internal_type_self_type.
While testing this I found the stabs reader leaving methods
as TYPE_CODE_FUNCs, hitting my newly added asserts.
Since the dwarf reader smashes functions to methods (via
smash_to_method) I've done a similar thing for stabs.

Consider the following declarations:
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
type Record_Type (N : Integer) is record
A : Array_Type (1 .. N);
end record;
R : Record_Type := Get (10);
It defines what Ada programers call a "discriminated record", where
"N" is a component of that record called a "discriminant", and where
"A" is a component defined as an array type whose upper bound is
equal to the value of the discriminant.
So far, we rely on a number of fairly complex GNAT-specific encodings
to handle this situation. This patch is to enhance GDB to be able to
print this record in the case where the compiler has been modified
to replace those encodings by pure DWARF constructs.
In particular, the debugging information generated for the record above
looks like the following. "R" is a record..
.uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x13e) DW_TAG_structure_type)
.long .LASF17 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type"
... whose is is of course dynamic (not our concern here)...
.uleb128 0xd # DW_AT_byte_size
.byte 0x97 # DW_OP_push_object_address
.byte 0x94 # DW_OP_deref_size
.byte 0x4
.byte 0x99 # DW_OP_call4
.long 0x19b
.byte 0x23 # DW_OP_plus_uconst
.uleb128 0x7
.byte 0x9 # DW_OP_const1s
.byte 0xfc
.byte 0x1a # DW_OP_and
.byte 0x1 # DW_AT_decl_file (foo.adb)
.byte 0x6 # DW_AT_decl_line
... and then has 2 members, fist "n" (our discriminant);
.uleb128 0x11 # (DIE (0x153) DW_TAG_member)
.ascii "n\0" # DW_AT_name
.byte 0x1 # DW_AT_decl_file (foo.adb)
.byte 0x6 # DW_AT_decl_line
.long 0x194 # DW_AT_type
.byte 0 # DW_AT_data_member_location
... and "A"...
.uleb128 0x11 # (DIE (0x181) DW_TAG_member)
.ascii "a\0" # DW_AT_name
.long 0x15d # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x4 # DW_AT_data_member_location
... which is an array ...
.uleb128 0x12 # (DIE (0x15d) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF18 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type__T4b"
.long 0x194 # DW_AT_type
... whose lower bound is implicitly 1, and the upper bound
a reference to DIE 0x153 = "N":
.uleb128 0x13 # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x174 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x153 # DW_AT_upper_bound
This patch enhanced GDB to understand references to other DIEs
where the DIE's address is at an offset of its enclosing type.
The difficulty was that the address used to resolve the array's
type (R's address + 4 bytes) is different from the address used
as the base to compute N's address (an offset to R's address).
We're solving this issue by using a stack of addresses rather
than a single address when trying to resolve a type. Each address
in the stack corresponds to each containing level. For instance,
if resolving the field of a struct, the stack should contain
the address of the field at the top, and then the address of
the struct. That way, if the field makes a reference to an object
of the struct, we can retrieve the address of that struct, and
properly resolve the dynamic property references that struct.
gdb/ChangeLog:

kind.
* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_type_internal): Replace "addr"
parameter by "addr_stack" parameter.

Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
Since Fedora started to use DWZ DWARF compressor:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DwarfCompressor
GDB has slowed down a lot. To make it clear - DWZ is DWARF structure
rearrangement, "compressor" does not mean any zlib style data compression.
This patch reduces LibreOffice backtrace from 5 minutes to 3 seconds (100x)
and it also reduces memory consumption 20x.
[ benchmark is at the bottom of this mail ]
Example of DWZ output:

<1><62da20>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_imported_unit)
<62da21> DW_AT_import : <0xcf> [Abbrev Number: 17]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One can see all DW_TAG_partial_unit have DW_AT_stmt_list 0x0 which causes
repeated decoding of that .debug_line unit on each DW_TAG_imported_unit.
This was OK before as each DW_TAG_compile_unit has its own .debug_line unit.
But since the introduction of DW_TAG_partial_unit by DWZ one should cache
read-in DW_AT_stmt_list .debug_line units.
Fortunately one does not need to cache whole
struct linetable *symtab->linetable
and other data from .debug_line mapping PC<->lines
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line Number Statements:
Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x45c880
Advance Line by 25 to 26
Copy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as the only part of .debug_line which GDB needs for DW_TAG_partial_unit is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Directory Table:
../../gdb
/usr/include/bits
[...]
The File Name Table:
Entry Dir Time Size Name
1 1 0 0 gdb.c
2 2 0 0 string3.h
[...]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specifically referenced in GDB for DW_AT_decl_file at a single place:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fe = &cu->line_header->file_names[file_index - 1];
SYMBOL_SYMTAB (sym) = fe->symtab;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is because for some reason DW_TAG_partial_unit never contains PC-related
DWARF information. I do not know exactly why, the compression ratio is a bit
lower due to it but thanksfully currently it is that way:
dwz.c:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* These attributes reference code, prevent moving
DIEs with them. */
case DW_AT_low_pc:
case DW_AT_high_pc:
case DW_AT_entry_pc:
case DW_AT_ranges:
die->die_ck_state = CK_BAD;
+
/* State of checksum computation. Not computed yet, computed and
suitable for moving into partial units, currently being computed
and finally determined unsuitable for moving into partial units. */
enum { CK_UNKNOWN, CK_KNOWN, CK_BEING_COMPUTED, CK_BAD } die_ck_state : 2;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also verified also real-world Fedora debuginfo files really comply with
that assumption with dwgrep
https://github.com/pmachata/dwgrep
using:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dwgrep -e 'entry ?DW_TAG_partial_unit child* ( ?DW_AT_low_pc , ?DW_AT_high_pc , ?DW_AT_ranges )' /usr/lib/debug/**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW I think GDB already does not support the whole DW_TAG_imported_unit and
DW_TAG_partial_unit usage possibilities as specified by the DWARF standard.
I think GDB would not work if DW_TAG_imported_unit was used in some inner
level and not at the CU level (readelf -wi level <1>) - this is how DWZ is
using DW_TAG_imported_unit. Therefore I do not think further assumptions
about DW_TAG_imported_unit and DW_TAG_partial_unit usage by DWZ are a problem
for GDB.
One could save the whole .debug_line decoded PC<->lines mapping (and not just
the DW_AT_decl_file table) but:
* there are some problematic corner cases so one could do it incorrectly
* there are no real world data to really test such patch extension
* such extension could be done perfectly incrementally on top of this patch

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:

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

(gdb) disassemble

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

(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

(gdb) disassemble

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:

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo32
(gdb) advance foo32

14 }
(gdb) disassemble

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

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

$
Hmm, the attribute (0xf0, printed raw) is back, and the ISA bit gone
again.

-- a-ha, the ISA bit is there! However it's not always right for some
reason, I don't have a small test case to show it, but here's an excerpt

-- 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:

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.
