Consider the following declarations:
type Range_Type is (One, Two, Three);
type Array_Type is array (Range_Type range One .. Two) of Integer;
A : Array_Type := (1, 2);
Trying to print A can yield:
(gdb) print a
$1 = (one => 1, 2)
The bound of the first element should not have been printed, since
"one" is the first enumerate of type Range_Type. Similarly, with
the following declarations:
type Array2_Type is array (Range_Type range Two .. Three) of Integer;
A2 : Array2_Type := (2, 3);
GDB is failing to print the bound of the first element of "A2":
(gdb) print a2
$2 = (2, 3)
This is because the index type for both types Array_Type and Array2_Type
are subranges (by DWARF definition for arrays), of an anonymous subrange
type. When deciding whether to print the bound of the first element,
we handle subranges, but only up to one level. This patch enhanced
the code to handle any number of subrange levels.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_optional_low_bound): Get index_type's
target type for as long as it is a TYPE_CODE_RANGE.
No testcase with this patch, but this will be tested via the testcase
of another patch, which uses the DWARF assembler to generate debugging
info for an array indexed by an enum.
Consider the following types:
type Time_T is record
Secs : Integer;
end record;
Before : Time_T := (Secs => 1384395743);
In this example, we assume that type Time_T is the number of seconds
since Epoch, and so added a Python pretty-printer, to print this
type in a more human-friendly way. For instance:
(gdb) print before
$1 = Thu Nov 14 02:22:23 2013 (1384395743)
However, we've noticed that things stop working when this type is
embedded inside another record, and we try to print that record.
For instance, with the following declarations:
type Composite is record
Id : Integer;
T : Time_T;
end record;
Afternoon : Composite := (Id => 1, T => (Secs => 1384395865));
(gdb) print afternoon
$2 = (id => 1, t => (secs => 1384395865))
We expected instead:
(gdb) print afternoon
$2 = (id => 1, t => Thu Nov 14 02:24:25 2013 (1384395865))
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that we try to print
each field via a call to val_print, rather than calling ada_val_print
directly. We need to go through val_print, as the val_print
handles all language-independent features such as calling the
pretty-printer, knowing that ada_val_print will get called eventually
if actual Ada-specific printing is required (which should be the
most common scenario).
And because val_print takes the language as parameter, we enhanced
the print_field_values and print_variant_part to also take a language.
As a bonus, this allows us to remove a couple of references to
current_language.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_field_values): Add "language" parameter.
Update calls to print_field_values and print_variant_part.
Pass new parameter "language" in call to val_print instead
of "current_language". Replace call to ada_val_print by call
to val_print.
(print_variant_part): Add "language" parameter.
(ada_val_print_struct_union): Update call to print_field_values.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/pp-rec-component.exp, gdb.ada/pp-rec-component.py,
gdb.ada/pp-rec-component/foo.adb, gdb.ada/pp-rec-component/pck.adb,
gdb.ada/pp-rec-component/pck.ads: New files.
ada_print_floating declares a char buffer with a size that we're hoping
to always be large enough to hold any string representation of a float
value. But that's not really necessary, and also forces us to create
a small wrapper (ui_memcpy) to perform the extraction from a temporary
stream into this buffer. This patches fixes both issues by relying on
ui_file_xstrdup. This forces us to make a few adjustments that are
minor in nature, as we now need to defer the cleanup to the end of
the function.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ui_memcpy): Delete.
(ada_print_floating): Update documentation. Add empty line
between between function documentation and implementation.
Delete variable "buffer". Use ui_file_xstrdup in place of
ui_file_put. Minor adjustments following this change.
This patch creates a new function called "ada_val_print_string"
whose code is directly extracted out of ada_val_print_array.
The extracted code is then replaced by a call to this new function,
followed by a "return". The return avoids the need for an "else"
branch, with the associated block nesting. The latter is not really
terrible in this case, but it seems more readable this way.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_string): New function,
extracted from ada_val_print_array.
(ada_val_print_array): Replace extracted code by call
to ada_val_print_string followed by a return. Move
"else" branch to the function's top block.
This patch moves ada_val_print_array to group it with the other
ada_val_print_* function which are being called by ada_val_print_1.
Since this function is in the same situation, it is more logical
to move it within that group.
It also rationalizes the function's prototype to match the prototype
of the other ada_val_print_* routines.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_array): Move implementation
down. Rename parameter "offset" and "val" into "offset_aligned"
and "original_value" respectively. Add parameter "offset".
The logic as currently implemented in this function was a little
difficult to follow, due to the nested of if/else conditions,
but most of the time, the "else" block was very simple. So this
patch re-organizes the code to use fewer levels of nesting by
using return statements, and writing the code as a sequence of
"if something simple, then handle it and return" blocks.
While touching this code, this patch changes the cryptic "???"
printed when trying to print a reference pointing to an undefined
type. This should only ever happen if the debugging information
was corrupted or improperly read. But in case that happens, we now
print "<ref to undefined type>" instead. This is more in line
with how we print other conditions such as optimized out pieces,
or synthetic pointers.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_ref): Rewrite by mostly
re-organizing the code. Change the "???" message printed
when target type is a TYPE_CODE_UNDEF into
"<ref to undefined type>".
The function print_record is a fairly small and straightforward
function which is only called from one location. So this patch
inlines the code at the point of call.
One small advantage is that the context of use of this patch has
now become such that we can assume that TYPE is not a typedef,
nor an enum. So thhe call to ada_check_typedef is unnecessary,
and this patch removes it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_record): Delete, implementation inlined...
(ada_val_print_struct_union): ... here. Remove call to
ada_check_typedef in inlined implementation.
The idea of this patch is that it's hard to have a global view of
ada_val_print_1 because its body spans over too many lines. Also,
each individual "case" block within the giant "switch" can be hard
to isolate if spanning over multiple pages as well.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_gnat_array): New function,
extracted from ada_val_print_1;
(ada_val_print_ptr, ada_val_print_num, ada_val_print_enum)
(ada_val_print_flt, ada_val_print_struct_union)
(ada_val_print_ref): Likewise.
(ada_val_print_1): Delete variables i and elttype.
Replace extracted-out code by call to corresponding
new functions.
I am not sure why this function was called in the first place, but
it disrupts the printing flow when in GDB/MI mode, ending the current
console stream output, and starting a new one. It's not clear whether,
with the code as currently written, the problem is actually visible
or only latent. But, it becomes visible when we replace one of the
"return" statements in the "switch" block just above by a "break"
statement (this is something I'd like to do, and what made me realize
the problem). With the gdb_flush call (after having replaced the
"return" statement as explained above), we get:
% gdb -q -i=mi ada_prg
(gdb)
print 1
&"print 1\n"
!! -> ~"$1 = 1"
!! -> ~"\n"
^done
With the gdb_flush call removed, we now get the entire output into
a single stream.
(gdb)
print 1
&"print 1\n"
~"$1 = 1"
~"\n"
^done
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Remove call to gdb_flush.
This is to standardize a little bit how printing is done, and in
particular make sure that everyone goes through val_print when
printing sub-objects. This helps making sure that standard features
handled by val_print get activated when expected.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Replace calls to
ada_val_print_1 by calls to val_print.
This is to help calling val_print. We would like to be more systematic
in calling val_print when printing, because it allows us to make sure
we take advantage of the standard features such as pretty-printing
which are handled by val_print.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Add parameter "language".
Update calls to self accordingly. Replace calls to c_val_print
by calls to val_print.
Advance function declarations add to the maintenance cost, since
any update to the function prototype needs to be made twice.
For static functions, this is not necessary, and this patch
reorders the function so as to reduce the use of such advanche
declarations.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_record): Delete declaration.
(adjust_type_signedness, ada_val_print_1): Likewise.
(ada_val_print): Move function implementation down.
(print_variant_part, print_field_values, print_record):
Move function implementation up.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
For displaying the full view of a class-wide object, GDB relies on
the assumption that this view will have the same address as the
address of the object. In the case of simple inheritance, this
assumption is correct; the proper type is deduced by decoding
the tag of the object and converting the result to this full-view
type.
Consider for example an abstract class Shape, a child Circle
which implements an interface Drawable, and the corresponding
following objects:
My_Circle : Circle := ((1, 2), 3);
My_Shape : Shape'Class := Shape'Class (My_Circle);
My_Drawable : Drawable'Class := Drawable'Class (My_Circle);
To display My_Shape, the debugger first extracts the tag (an internal
field, usually the first one of the record):
(gdb) p my_shape'address
$2 = (system.address) 0x8063e28
(gdb) x/x my_shape'address
0x8063e28 <classes__my_shape>: 0x08059ec4
Then the type specific data and the expanded name of the tag is read
from there:
(gdb) p my_shape'tag
$3 = (access ada.tags.dispatch_table) 0x8059ec4 (classes.circle)
To get the full view, the debugger converts to the corresponding type:
(gdb) p {classes.circle}0x8063e28
$4 = (center => (x => 1, y => 2), radius => 3)
Now, in the case of multiple inheritance, the assumption does not hold
anymore. The address that we have usually points to some
place lower. The offset to the original address is saved in the field
Offset_To_Top of the metadata that are above the tag, at address
obj'tag - 8. In the case of my_shape, this offset is 0:
(gdb) x/x my_shape'tag - 8
0x8059ebc <classes__circleT+12>: 0x00000000
...but in the case of an interface-wide object, it is not null:
(gdb) x/x my_drawable'tag - 8
0x8063b28 <classes__classes__circle_classes__drawable1T56s+12>: 0x00000004
(gdb) p {classes.circle}(my_drawable'address - 4)
$7 = (center => (x => 1, y => 2), radius => 3)

This patch is to help handle aliased array variables, such as:
type Bounded is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
function New_Bounded (Low, High : Integer) return Bounded;
BT : aliased Bounded := New_Bounded (Low => 1, High => 3);
In that case, the compiler describes variable "BT" as a reference
to a thin pointer, and GDB is unable to print its value:
(gdb) p bt
$1 =
The problems starts when ada_value_print deconstructs the struct
value into contents and address in order to call val_print. It
turns out in this case that "bt" is not an lval. In the debug
information, this variable's location is described as:
.uleb128 0xd # (DIE (0xe0) DW_TAG_variable)
.ascii "bt\0" # DW_AT_name
[...]
.byte 0x6 # DW_AT_location
.byte 0x91 # DW_OP_fbreg
.sleb128 -56
.byte 0x6 # DW_OP_deref
.byte 0x23 # DW_OP_plus_uconst
.uleb128 0x8
.byte 0x9f # DW_OP_stack_value
So, when ada_value_print passes the bt's (value) address, it passes
in effect a meaningless address. The problem continues shortly after
when ada_val_print_1 re-creates the value from the contents and address.
The value has become an lval_memory, with a null address.
As a result, we trigger a memory error later on, while trying to
read the array bounds in order to transform our value into a simple
array.
To avoid the problem entirely, the fix is to coerce references before
transforming array descriptors into simple arrays.

to an array descriptor, dereference it before converting it

When trying to print the address of a non-packed array, GDB
correctly prints the type name and address:
(gdb) print &var
$2 = (access pa.var) 0xbffff1d8
However, it is behaving differently when dealing with a packed
array:
(gdb) p &var
(access array (4 .. 8) of boolean <packed: 1-bit elements>) (4 =>
false, false, false, true, false)
The type description isn't all that bad, but GDB shouldn't be
printing the array value!
This patch fixes the `print` and `ptype` command on packed and
non-packed array. It also fixes a gdb.ada test to match with
the new ouput.

* gdb.ada/packed_array.exp: Fix expected outout.
If we evaluate an expression that results in a value that is a typedef
to pointer, then the debugger fails to print the type description
before printing the actual value:
(gdb) print e.plan(1)
$1 = 0x0

(gdb) print e.plan(1)
$1 = (access integer) 0x0

Same problem as before: We were downcasting the character value from
int to unsigned char, which caused an overflow. The reason why we did
not see this problem before is probably related to the fact that
we're using stabs on AIX and thus characters types are defined as
a TYPE_CODE_INT (or TYPE_CODE_RANGE?).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_print_scalar): Remove unsigned char downcast.
(ada_val_print_1): Likewise.
Wide_Characters and Wide_Wide_Characters are incorrectly printed.
Consider for instance:
Medium : Wide_Character := Wide_Character'Val(16#dead#);
Trying to print the value of this variable yields:
(gdb) p medium
$1 = 57005 '["ad"]'
The integer value is correct (57005 = 0xdead), but the character
representation is not, it should be:
$1 = 57005 '["dead"]'
Same for Wide_Wide_Characters.
There were two issues:
(a) The first issue was in ada-valprint, where we were assuming
that character types were 1 byte long;
(b) The second problem was in c-valprint, where we were down-casting
the integer value of the character to type `unsigned char',
causing use to lose all but the lowest byte.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint. (ada_printchar): Use the correct type length
in call to ada_emit_char.
* c-valprint.c (c_val_print): Remove cast in call to LA_PRINT_CHAR.
This fixes the printing of Wide_Wide_String objects. For instance,
consider:
My_WWS : Wide_Wide_String := " helo";
Before this patch is applied, GDB prints:
(gdb) print my_wws
$1 = " ["00"]h["00"]e"
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_emit_char): Remove strange code.
Check that c is <= UCHAR_MAX before passing it to isascii.
(char_at): Do not assume that TYPE_LEN is either 1 or 2.
Trying to print a variable defined as an access to an unconstrained
array:
type String_Access is access String;
S1 : String_Access;
If that variable is null, then GDB prints its value in an odd way:
(gdb) print S1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) (null)
^^^^^^
This patch changes the debugger behavior to print the pointer using
the same output we'd use for any null pointer:
(gdb) print S1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) 0x0
It also adds an assert, helping us verify an assumption.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Print null array pointers as
`0x0' rather than `(null)'. Add assertion.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/arrayptr/foo.adb: Add new local variable Null_String.
* gdb.ada/arrayptr.exp: Add test printing that new variable.
This patch enhances the debugger to distinguish between fat pointers
that represent either: array types, or array access types. In the latter
case, the object/type is encoded as a typedef type pointing to the fat
pointer.
The first part of the change is to adjust ada_check_typedef to avoid
stripping the typedef layer when it points to a fat pointer. The rest
of the patch is adjustments required in various places to deal with
the fact that the type is uses might now be a typedef.

* ada-lang.h (ada_coerce_to_simple_array): Add declaration.
* ada-lang.c (ada_typedef_target_type): New function.
(desc_base_type): Add handling of fat pointer typedefs.
(ada_coerce_to_simple_array): Make non-static.
(decode_packed_array_bitsize): Add handling of fat pointer typedefs.
Add assertion.
(ada_template_to_fixed_record_type_1, ada_to_fixed_type)
(ada_check_typedef): Add handling of fat pointer typedefs.
(ada_evaluate_subexp) [OP_FUNCALL]: Likewise.
* ada-typeprint.c (ada_print_type): Add handling of fat pointer
typedefs.
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Convert fat pointers that are not
array accesses to simple arrays rather than simple array pointers.
(ada_value_print): In the case of array descriptors, do not print
the value type description unless it is an array access.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/lang_switch.exp: Correct expected parameter value.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Ada Glitches): Remove paragraph describing the
occasional case where the debugger prints an array address
instead of the array itself.
I noticed that some variables are only used inside one side of
an if/else blob. So I moved these variables inside that block for
better clarity.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_array): Move variables `eltlen'
and `len' declaration and computation inside block where they
are being used.
* ada-lang.c: White space.
* ada-typeprint.c: White space.
* ada-valprint.c: White space.
* addrmap.c: White space.
* auxv.c: White space.
* ax-gdb.c: White space.
The problem is printing the wrong value for dynamic local variables
when using the "info locals" command. Consider the following code:
procedure Print (I1 : Positive; I2 : Positive) is
type My_String is array (I1 .. I2) of Character;
I : My_String := (others => 'A');
S : String (1 .. I2 + 3) := (others => ' ');
begin
S (I1 .. I2) := String (I); -- BREAK
Put_Line (S);
end Print;
After the debugger stopped at BREAK, we try printing all local variables.
Here is what we get:
(gdb) info locals
i = "["00"]["00"]"
s = "["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]"
Curiously, printing their value using the "print" command works:
(gdb) print i
$1 = "AA"
(gdb) print s
$2 = " "
We traced the problem to trying to get the contents of a variable
(call to value_contents) before "fix'ing" it. For those not familiar
with the Ada language support, "fixing" a value consists of swapping
the value's dynamic type with a static version that is appropriate
for our actual value. As a result, the dynamic type was used to
determine the value size, which is zero, and thus the value contents
was empty.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* valprint.c (common_val_print): Fix the value before extracting
its contents.
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_value): Make this function extern.
* ada-lang.h (ada_to_fixed_value): New function declaration.
* ada-valprint.c (ada_value_print): Use ada_to_fixed_value
to avoid code duplication and fix a bug in the handling of
fixed types contents.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/dyn_loc: New testcase.
