Running the testsuite with a gdb configured with --enable-libmcheck
reveals a problem:
(gdb) ptype 3 * 2.0
type = <12-byte float>
memory clobbered past end of allocated block
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.ada/ptype_arith_binop.exp: ptype 3 * 2.0
(gdb) PASS: gdb.dlang/expression.exp: ptype 0x1.FFFFFFFFFFFFFp1023
ptype 0x1p-52L
type = real
memory clobbered past end of allocated block
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.dlang/expression.exp: ptype 0x1p-52L
Even though this shows up with Ada and D, it's easy to reproduce in C
too. We just need to print a long double, when the current arch is
32-bit, which is the default when gdb starts up:
$ ./gdb -q -ex "ptype 1.0L"
type = long double
memory clobbered past end of allocated block
Aborted (core dumped)

type = long double
(gdb)
Even if the target and host floating-point formats match, the length
of the types might still be different. On x86, long double is the
80-bit extended precision type on both 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs, but by
default it is stored as 12 bytes on 32-bit, and 16 bytes on 64-bit,
for alignment reasons. Several places in doublest.c already consider
this, but floatformat_to_doublest and floatformat_from_doublest miss
it. E.g., convert_typed_floating and store_typed_floating,
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 23 with --enable-libmcheck, where it fixes the
crashed above.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* doublest.c: Extend comments.
(floatformat_to_doublest, floatformat_from_doublest): Copy the
floatformat's total size, not the host type's size.
This would have caught the HP/PA bug fixed in the previous patch:
.../src/gdb/gdbtypes.c:4690: internal-error: arch_float_type: Assertion `len >= floatformat_totalsize_bytes (floatformats[0])' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 23, --enable-targets=all.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* doublest.c (floatformat_totalsize_bytes): New function.
(floatformat_from_type): Assert that the type's length is at least
as long as the floatformat's totalsize.
* doublest.h (floatformat_totalsize_bytes): New declaration.
* gdbtypes.c (arch_float_type): Assert that the type's length is
at least as long as the floatformat's totalsize.
This removes the last uses of the obsolete CONST macro from the tree.
I'm checking this in. Tested by rebuilding.
2014-01-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* doublest.c (convert_doublest_to_floatformat): Use const, not
CONST.
* somread.c (som_symtab_read): Likewise.
This removes gdb_string.h. This patch is purely mechanical. I
created it by running the two commands:
git rm common/gdb_string.h
perl -pi -e's/"gdb_string.h"/<string.h>/;' *.[chyl] */*.[chyl]

Most modern systems have frexpl and gnulib provides an implementation
for those that don't, so use it instead of the generic but inaccurate
ldfrexp.

* doublest.c (ldfrexp): Remove function.
(convert_doublest_to_floatformat): Call frexpl instead of
ldfrexp.
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.
Assuming the following variable definition:
long double inp = 2.0;
On platforms where "long double" is a double precision IEEE flaoting
point, GDB currently behaves as follow:
(gdb) set variable inp = 1.6e+308l
(gdb) p inp
$2 = inf <<<<---- !!!!
Instead, the value of "inp" should be printed as:
(gdb) p inp
$1 = 1.6e+308
The problem is due to a small error in the comparison of the exponent
versus the maximum value this exponent can take, causing us to think
that the value was too big to fit. But it isn't.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* doublest.c (convert_doublest_to_floatformat): Fix comparison
against maximum exponent value.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/ldbl_e308.c, gdb.base/ldbl_e308.exp: New files.
On x86_64-linux targetting AVR, we see the following issues:
(gdb) print 1.6e+308
$1 = 0.89002949
(gdb) print 1.6e-308
$3 = 2.87630892
What happens is that GDB is trying to convert the value it read
(as a host "long double") into a target "double" value. The routine
performing the conversion does not realize that 1.6e+308 is just
too large to fit in a double. Similarly, it does not notice that
1.6e-308 is too small to be represented.
This patch enhances convert_doublest_to_floatformat to both handle
floats that are too small and too large.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* doublest.c (convert_doublest_to_floatformat): If the exponent
is too small, treat the value as zero. If the exponent is too
large, treat the value as infinity.
