PR python/20190 arose from an exception I noticed when trying to use the Python unwinder for Spider Monkey in Firefox. The problem is that the unwinder wants to examine the value of a thread-local variable. However, sympy_value rejects this because symbol_read_needs_frame returns true for a TLS variable. This problem arose once before, though in a different context: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11803 At the time Pedro and Daniel pointed out a simpler way to fix that bug (see links in 20190 if you are interested); but for this new bug I couldn't think of a similar fix and ended up implementing Daniel's other suggestion: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-07/msg00393.html That is, this patch makes it possible to detect whether a symbol needs a specific frame, or whether it just needs the inferior to have registers. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 24. 2016-07-26 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * symtab.c (register_symbol_computed_impl): Update. PR python/20190: * value.h (symbol_read_needs): Declare.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
