@chapter The @sc{gdb/mi} Interface
|
|
|
|
@unnumberedsec Function and Purpose
|
|
|
|
@cindex @sc{gdb/mi}, its purpose
|
|
@sc{gdb/mi} is a line based machine oriented text interface to @value{GDBN}. It is
|
|
specifically intended to support the development of systems which use
|
|
the debugger as just one small component of a larger system.
|
|
|
|
This chapter is a specification of the @sc{gdb/mi} interface. It is written
|
|
in the form of a reference manual.
|
|
|
|
Note that @sc{gdb/mi} is still under construction, so some of the
|
|
features described below are incomplete and subject to change.
|
|
|
|
@unnumberedsec Notation and Terminology
|
|
|
|
@cindex notational conventions, for @sc{gdb/mi}
|
|
This chapter uses the following notation:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{|} separates two alternatives.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{[ @var{something} ]} indicates that @var{something} is optional:
|
|
it may or may not be given.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{( @var{group} )*} means that @var{group} inside the parentheses
|
|
may repeat zero or more times.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{( @var{group} )+} means that @var{group} inside the parentheses
|
|
may repeat one or more times.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{"@var{string}"} means a literal @var{string}.

|
|
@cindex @sc{gdb/mi}, simple examples
|
|
|
|
This subsection presents several simple examples of interaction using
|
|
the @sc{gdb/mi} interface. In these examples, @samp{->} means that the
|
|
following line is passed to @sc{gdb/mi} as input, while @samp{<-} means
|
|
the output received from @sc{gdb/mi}.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Target Stop
|
|
@c Ummm... There is no "-stop" command. This assumes async, no?
|
|
Here's an example of stopping the inferior process:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-> -stop
|
|
<- (@value{GDBP})
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
and later:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
<- *stop,reason="stop",address="0x123",source="a.c:123"
|
|
<- (@value{GDBP})
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Simple CLI Command
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of a simple CLI command being passed through
|
|
@sc{gdb/mi} and on to the CLI.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-> print 1+2
|
|
<- &"print 1+2\n"
|
|
<- ~"$1 = 3\n"
|
|
<- ^done
|
|
<- (@value{GDBP})
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Command With Side Effects
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-> -symbol-file xyz.exe
|
|
<- *breakpoint,nr="3",address="0x123",source="a.c:123"
|
|
<- (@value{GDBP})
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading A Bad Command
|
|
|
|
Here's what happens if you pass a non-existent command:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-> -rubbish
|
|
<- ^error,msg="Undefined MI command: rubbish"
|

@cindex @sc{gdb/mi}, compatibility with CLI
|
|
To help users familiar with @value{GDBN}'s existing CLI interface, @sc{gdb/mi}
|
|
accepts existing CLI commands. As specified by the syntax, such
|
|
commands can be directly entered into the @sc{gdb/mi} interface and @value{GDBN} will
|
|
respond.
|
|
|
|
This mechanism is provided as an aid to developers of @sc{gdb/mi}
|
|
clients and not as a reliable interface into the CLI. Since the command
|
|
is being interpreteted in an environment that assumes @sc{gdb/mi}
|
|
behaviour, the exact output of such commands is likely to end up being
|
|
an un-supported hybrid of @sc{gdb/mi} and CLI output.

|
@dfn{access} watchpoint, i.e. a watchpoint that triggers either on a
|
|
read from or on a write to the memory location. With the @samp{-r}
|
|
option, the watchpoint created is a @dfn{read} watchpoint, i.e. it will
|
|
trigger only when the memory location is accessed for reading. Without
|
|
either of the options, the watchpoint created is a regular watchpoint,
|
|
i.e. it will trigger when the memory location is accessed for writing.

@subheading The @code{-data-disassemble} Command
|
|
@findex -data-disassemble
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Synopsis
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-data-disassemble
|
|
[ -s @var{start-addr} -e @var{end-addr} ]
|
|
| [ -f @var{filename} -l @var{linenum} [ -n @var{lines} ] ]
|
|
-- @var{mode}
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
Where:
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item @var{start-addr}
|
|
is the beginning address (or @code{$pc})
|
|
@item @var{end-addr}
|
|
is the end address
|
|
@item @var{filename}
|
|
is the name of the file to disassemble
|
|
@item @var{linenum}
|
|
is the line number to disassemble around
|
|
@item @var{lines}
|
|
is the the number of disassembly lines to be produced. If it is -1,
|
|
the whole function will be disassembled, in case no @var{end-addr} is
|
|
specified. If @var{end-addr} is specified as a non-zero value, and
|
|
@var{lines} is lower than the number of disassembly lines between
|
|
@var{start-addr} and @var{end-addr}, only @var{lines} lines are
|
|
displayed; if @var{lines} is higher than the number of lines between
|
|
@var{start-addr} and @var{end-addr}, only the lines up to @var{end-addr}
|
|
are displayed.
|
|
@item @var{mode}
|
|
is either 0 (meaning only disassembly) or 1 (meaning mixed source and
|
|
disassembly).
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Result
|
|
|
|
The output for each instruction is composed of four fields:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item Address
|
|
@item Func-name
|
|
@item Offset
|
|
@item Instruction
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
Note that whatever included in the instruction field, is not manipulated
|
|
directely by @sc{gdb/mi}, i.e. it is not possible to adjust its format.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command
|
|
|
|
There's no direct mapping from this command to the CLI.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Example

@subsubheading Synopsis
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-data-evaluate-expression @var{expr}
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Evaluate @var{expr} as an expression. The expression could contain an
|
|
inferior function call. The function call will execute synchronously.
|
|
If the expression contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command
|
|
|
|
The corresponding @value{GDBN} commands are @samp{print}, @samp{output}, and
|
|
@samp{call}. In @code{gdbtk} only, there's a corresponding
|
|
@samp{gdb_eval} command.
|

|
In the following example, the numbers that precede the commands are the
|
|
@dfn{tokens} described in @ref{GDB/MI Command Syntax, ,@sc{gdb/mi}
|
|

are given, it shows a list of the names of all the registers. If
|
|
integer numbers are given as arguments, it will print a list of the
|
|
names of the registers corresponding to the arguments. To ensure
|
|
consistency between a register name and its number, the output list may
|
|
include empty register names.
|

@subsubheading Synopsis
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-data-read-memory [ -o @var{byte-offset} ]
|
|
@var{address} @var{word-format} @var{word-size}
|
|
@var{nr-rows} @var{nr-cols} [ @var{aschar} ]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
where:
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item @var{address}
|
|
An expression specifying the address of the first memory word to be
|
|
read. Complex expressions containing embedded white space should be
|
|
quoted using the C convention.
|
|
|
|
@item @var{word-format}
|
|
The format to be used to print the memory words. The notation is the
|
|
same as for @value{GDBN}'s @code{print} command (@pxref{Output Formats,
|
|
,Output formats}).
|
|
|
|
@item @var{word-size}
|
|
The size of each memory word in bytes.
|
|
|
|
@item @var{nr-rows}
|
|
The number of rows in the output table.
|
|
|
|
@item @var{nr-cols}
|
|
The number of columns in the output table.
|
|
|
|
@item @var{aschar}
|
|
If present, indicates that each row should include an @sc{ascii} dump. The
|
|
value of @var{aschar} is used as a padding character when a byte is not a
|
|
member of the printable @sc{ascii} character set (printable @sc{ascii}
|
|
characters are those whose code is between 32 and 126, inclusively).
|
|
|
|
@item @var{byte-offset}
|
|
An offset to add to the @var{address} before fetching memory.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
This command displays memory contents as a table of @var{nr-rows} by
|
|
@var{nr-cols} words, each word being @var{word-size} bytes. In total,
|
|
@code{@var{nr-rows} * @var{nr-cols} * @var{word-size}} bytes are read
|
|
(returned as @samp{total-bytes}). Should less than the requested number
|
|
of bytes be returned by the target, the missing words are identified
|
|
using @samp{N/A}. The number of bytes read from the target is returned
|
|
in @samp{nr-bytes} and the starting address used to read memory in
|
|
@samp{addr}.
|
|
|
|
The address of the next/previous row or page is available in
|
|
@samp{next-row} and @samp{prev-row}, @samp{next-page} and
|
|
@samp{prev-page}.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command
|
|
|
|
The corresponding @value{GDBN} command is @samp{x}. @code{gdbtk} has
|
|
@samp{gdb_get_mem} memory read command.
|
|
|
|

-stack-info-frame
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Get info on the current frame.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command
|
|
|
|
The corresponding @value{GDBN} command is @samp{info frame} or @samp{frame}
|
|
(without arguments).
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Example
|
|
N.A.

@subsubheading Synopsis
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-stack-info-depth [ @var{max-depth} ]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Return the depth of the stack. If the integer argument @var{max-depth}
|
|
is specified, do not count beyond @var{max-depth} frames.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command
|
|
|
|
There's no equivalent @value{GDBN} command.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Example
|
|
|
|
For a stack with frame levels 0 through 11:
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
(@value{GDBP})
|
|
-stack-info-depth
|

|
@subheading The @code{-stack-list-arguments} Command
|
|
@findex -stack-list-arguments
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Synopsis
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-stack-list-arguments @var{show-values}
|
|
[ @var{low-frame} @var{high-frame} ]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Display a list of the arguments for the frames between @var{low-frame}
|
|
and @var{high-frame} (inclusive). If @var{low-frame} and
|
|
@var{high-frame} are not provided, list the arguments for the whole call
|
|
stack.
|
|
|
|
The @var{show-values} argument must have a value of 0 or 1. A value of
|
|
0 means that only the names of the arguments are listed, a value of 1
|
|
means that both names and values of the arguments are printed.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command
|
|
|
|
@value{GDBN} does not have an equivalent command. @code{gdbtk} has a
|
|
@samp{gdb_get_args} command which partially overlaps with the
|
|
functionality of @samp{-stack-list-arguments}.

|
|
|
@example
|
|
-stack-list-frames [ @var{low-frame} @var{high-frame} ]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
List the frames currently on the stack. For each frame it displays the
|
|
following info:
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item @var{level}
|
|
The frame number, 0 being the topmost frame, i.e. the innermost function.
|
|
@item @var{addr}
|
|
The @code{$pc} value for that frame.
|
|
@item @var{func}
|
|
Function name.
|
|
@item @var{file}
|
|
File name of the source file where the function lives.
|
|
@item @var{line}
|
|
Line number corresponding to the @code{$pc}.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
If invoked without arguments, this command prints a backtrace for the
|
|
whole stack. If given two integer arguments, it shows the frames whose
|
|
levels are between the two arguments (inclusive). If the two arguments
|
|
are equal, it shows the single frame at the corresponding level.
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading @value{GDBN} Command

@section @sc{gdb/mi} Variable Objects
|

|
|
|
@subheading Motivation for Variable Objects in @sc{gdb/mi}
|
|
|
|
For the implementation of a variable debugger window (locals, watched
|
|
expressions, etc.), we are proposing the adaptation of the existing code
|
|
used by @code{Insight}.
|
|
|
|
The two main reasons for that are:
|
|
|
|
@enumerate 1
|
|
@item
|
|
It has been proven in practice (it is already on its second generation).
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
It will shorten development time (needless to say how important it is
|
|
now).
|
|
@end enumerate
|
|
|
|
The original interface was designed to be used by Tcl code, so it was
|
|
slightly changed so it could be used through @sc{gdb/mi}. This section
|
|
describes the @sc{gdb/mi} operations that will be available and gives some
|
|
hints about their use.
|
|
|
|
@emph{Note}: In addition to the set of operations described here, we
|
|
expect the @sc{gui} implementation of a variable window to require, at
|
|
least, the following operations:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item @code{-gdb-show} @code{output-radix}
|
|
@item @code{-stack-list-arguments}
|
|
@item @code{-stack-list-locals}
|
|
@item @code{-stack-select-frame}
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
@subheading Introduction to Variable Objects in @sc{gdb/mi}
|
|
|
|
@cindex variable objects in @sc{gdb/mi}
|
|
The basic idea behind variable objects is the creation of a named object
|
|
to represent a variable, an expression, a memory location or even a CPU
|
|
register. For each object created, a set of operations is available for
|
|
examining or changing its properties.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, complex data types, such as C structures, are represented
|
|
in a tree format. For instance, the @code{struct} type variable is the
|
|
root and the children will represent the struct members. If a child
|
|
is itself of a complex type, it will also have children of its own.
|
|
Appropriate language differences are handled for C, C@t{++} and Java.
|
|
|
|
When returning the actual values of the objects, this facility allows
|
|
for the individual selection of the display format used in the result
|
|
creation. It can be chosen among: binary, decimal, hexadecimal, octal
|
|
and natural. Natural refers to a default format automatically
|
|
chosen based on the variable type (like decimal for an @code{int}, hex
|
|
for pointers, etc.).
|
|
|
|
The following is the complete set of @sc{gdb/mi} operations defined to
|
|
access this functionality:
|
|
|
|
@multitable @columnfractions .4 .6
|
|
@item @strong{Operation}
|
|
@tab @strong{Description}
|
|
|
|
@item @code{-var-create}
|
|
@tab create a variable object
|
|
@item @code{-var-delete}
|
|
@tab delete the variable object and its children
|
|
@item @code{-var-set-format}
|
|
@tab set the display format of this variable
|
|
@item @code{-var-show-format}
|
|
@tab show the display format of this variable
|
|
@item @code{-var-info-num-children}
|
|
@tab tells how many children this object has
|
|
@item @code{-var-list-children}
|
|
@tab return a list of the object's children
|
|
@item @code{-var-info-type}
|
|
@tab show the type of this variable object
|
|
@item @code{-var-info-expression}
|
|
@tab print what this variable object represents
|
|
@item @code{-var-show-attributes}
|
|
@tab is this variable editable? does it exist here?
|
|
@item @code{-var-evaluate-expression}
|
|
@tab get the value of this variable
|
|
@item @code{-var-assign}
|
|
@tab set the value of this variable
|
|
@item @code{-var-update}
|
|
@tab update the variable and its children
|
|
@end multitable
|
|
|
|
In the next subsection we describe each operation in detail and suggest
|
|
how it can be used.

|
@findex -var-create
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Synopsis
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
-var-create @{@var{name} | "-"@}
|
|
@{@var{frame-addr} | "*"@} @var{expression}
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
This operation creates a variable object, which allows the monitoring of
|
|
a variable, the result of an expression, a memory cell or a CPU
|
|
register.
|
|
|
|
The @var{name} parameter is the string by which the object can be
|
|
referenced. It must be unique. If @samp{-} is specified, the varobj
|
|
system will generate a string ``varNNNNNN'' automatically. It will be
|
|
unique provided that one does not specify @var{name} on that format.
|
|
The command fails if a duplicate name is found.
|
|
|
|
The frame under which the expression should be evaluated can be
|
|
specified by @var{frame-addr}. A @samp{*} indicates that the current
|
|
frame should be used.
|
|
|
|
@var{expression} is any expression valid on the current language set (must not
|
|
begin with a @samp{*}), or one of the following:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
@samp{*@var{addr}}, where @var{addr} is the address of a memory cell
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@samp{*@var{addr}-@var{addr}} --- a memory address range (TBD)
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@samp{$@var{regname}} --- a CPU register name
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
@subsubheading Result
