This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
The comment for the code in question says:
/* If the minimal symbol has a zero size, save it
but keep scanning backwards looking for one with
a non-zero size. A zero size may mean that the
symbol isn't an object or function (e.g. a
label), or it may just mean that the size was not
specified. */
As written, the code in question will only scan past the first symbol
of zero size. My change fixes the implementation to match the
comment.
Having this correct is important when the compiler generates several
local labels that are left in place by the linker. (I've been told
that the linker should eliminate these symbols, but I know of one
architecture for which this is not happening.)
I've created a test case called asmlabel.c. It's pretty simple:
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
asm ("L0:");
v = 0;
asm ("L1:");
v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
asm ("L2:");
v = 2; /* set L2 breakpoint here */
return 0;
}
If breakpoints are placed on the lines indicated by the comments,
this is the behavior of GDB built without my patch:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, L1 () at asmlabel.c:26
26 v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
Note that L1 appears as the function instead of main. This is not
what we want to happen. With my patch in place, we see the desired
behavior instead:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffdb88) at asmlabel.c:26
26 v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
gdb/ChangeLog:
* minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section_1): Scan backwards
over all zero-sized symbols.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/asmlabel.exp: New test.
* gdb.base/asmlabel.c: New test case.
