--enable-64-bit-bfd. Basically the issue happens when dealing with "bl"
instructions: GDB does branch destination calculation and (wrongly)
sign-extends the PC. Here is a piece of his original message explaining

Anyway, the fix is simple and Andrew himself provided it for us. It
took a while for me to figure out how to trigger the bug (in order to
write a testcase for it), but I finally made it.
The attached patch fixes the problem (by casting to `unsigned long'
instead of just `long'), and also includes a testcase to reproduce the
issue.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2013-04-22 Andrew Haley <aph@redhat.com>
* arm-tdep.c (BranchDest): Cast result as "unsigned long",
instead of "long".

* gdb.arch/arm-bl-branch-dest.c: New file.
* gdb.arch/arm-bl-branch-dest.exp: Likewise.
Consider the following simple program:
.globl _start
.text
_start:
fldt val
.data
val: .byte 0x00,0x00,0x45,0x07,0x11,0x19,0x22,0xe9,0xfe,0xbf
With current GDB on x86-64 GNU/Linux hosts, after the moment the fldt
command has been executed the register st(0) looks like this,
according to the “info regs” output (TOP=7):
R7: Valid 0xffffffbffffffffeffffffe922191107450000 -0.910676542908976927
which is clearly wrong (just count its length). The problem is due to
the printf statement (see patch) printing a promoted integer value of
a char argument "raw[i]", and, since char is signed on x86-64
GNU/Linux, the erroneous “ffffff” are printed for the first three
bytes which turn out to be "negative". The fix is to use gdb_byte
instead which is unsigned (and is the type of value_contents(), the
type to be used for raw target bytes anyway). After the fix the value
will be printed correctly:
R7: Valid 0xbffee922191107450000 -0.910676542908976927

Currently, several commands take "0" or "-1" to mean "unlimited".
"show" knows when to print "unlimited":
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 45.
(gdb) set height 0
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is unlimited.
However, the user can't herself specify "unlimited" directly:
(gdb) set height unlimited
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb)
This patch addresses that, by adjusting the set handler for all
integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands to accept literal
"unlimited". It also installs a completer. Presently, we complete on
symbols by default, and at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00864.html> I've
shown a WIP prototype that tried to keep that half working in these
commands. In the end, it turned out to be more complicated than
justifiable, IMO. It's super rare to want to pass the value of a
variable/symbol in the program to a GDB set/show knob. That'll still
work, it's just that we won't assist with completion anymore. This
patch just sticks with the simple, and completes on "unlimited", and
nothing else. This simplification means that
"set he<tab><tab>"
is all it takes to get to:
"set height unlimited"
The patch then goes through all integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited
commands in the tree, and updates both the online help and the manual
to mention that "unlimited" is accepted in addition to 0/-1. In the
cases where the command had no online help text at all, this adds it.
I've tried to make the texts read in a way that "unlimited" is
suggested before "0" or "-1" is.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

If !PARSE_CONDITION_AND_THREAD, then ARG is just the location, nothing

doesn't mention this just looks like an oversight of when extra_string
was added. "parse_condition_and_thread" has been a misnomer ever
since extra_string was added -- better rename it avoid more confusion.
This makes it "parse_arg", as that'll remain stable even if/when more

If a tracepoint's actions list includes a while-stepping action, and
then the actions are changed to a list without any while-stepping
action, the tracepoint's step_count will be left with a stale value.
For example:
(gdb) trace subr

A related issue is that the "commands" command actually supports
setting commands to a range of breakpoints/tracepoints at once. But,
hacking "maint info breakpoints" to print t->step_count, reveals:
(gdb) trace main
Tracepoint 5 at 0x45a2ab: file ../../src/gdb/gdb.c, line 29.
(gdb) trace main
Note: breakpoint 5 also set at pc 0x45a2ab.
Tracepoint 6 at 0x45a2ab: file ../../src/gdb/gdb.c, line 29.
(gdb) commands 5-6
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 5-6, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
> while-stepping 5
>end
> end
(gdb) maint info breakpoints 5
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
5 tracepoint keep y 0x000000000045a2ab in main at ../../src/gdb/gdb.c:29 inf 1
step_count=5
^^^^^^^^^^^^
while-stepping 5
end
not installed on target
(gdb) maint info breakpoints 6
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
6 tracepoint keep y 0x000000000045a2ab in main at ../../src/gdb/gdb.c:29 inf 1
step_count=0
^^^^^^^^^^^^
while-stepping 5
end
not installed on target
(gdb)
that tracepoint 6 doesn't end up with the correct step_count.
The issue is that here:
static void
do_map_commands_command (struct breakpoint *b, void *data)
{
struct commands_info *info = data;
if (info->cmd == NULL)
{
struct command_line *l;
if (info->control != NULL)
l = copy_command_lines (info->control->body_list[0]);
else
{
struct cleanup *old_chain;
char *str;
str = xstrprintf (_("Type commands for breakpoint(s) "
"%s, one per line."),
info->arg);
old_chain = make_cleanup (xfree, str);
l = read_command_lines (str,
info->from_tty, 1,
(is_tracepoint (b)
? check_tracepoint_command : 0),
b);
do_cleanups (old_chain);
}
info->cmd = alloc_counted_command_line (l);
}
validate_actionline is never called for tracepoints other than the
first (the copy_command_lines path). Right below, we have:
/* If a breakpoint was on the list more than once, we don't need to
do anything. */
if (b->commands != info->cmd)
{
validate_commands_for_breakpoint (b, info->cmd->commands);
incref_counted_command_line (info->cmd);
decref_counted_command_line (&b->commands);
b->commands = info->cmd;
observer_notify_breakpoint_modified (b);
}
And validate_commands_for_breakpoint looks like the right place to put
a call; if we reset step_count there too, we have a nice central fix
for the first issue as well, because trace_actions_command calls
breakpoint_set_commands that also calls
validate_commands_for_breakpoint.
We end up calling validate_actionline twice for the first tracepoint,
since read_command_lines calls it too, through
check_tracepoint_command, but that should be harmless.

The debugger sometimes prints strange function names for given

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
_fu29__system__scalar_values__is_is4 is an artificial symbol
generated by the linker, and interferes with the pc-to-symbol
resolution. There isn't much in the general minimal_symbol

Currently, "set listsize -1" is supposed to mean "unlimited" source
lines, but, alas, it doesn't actually work:
(gdb) set listsize -1
(gdb) show listsize
Number of source lines gdb will list by default is unlimited.
(gdb) list 1
(gdb) list 1
(gdb) list 1
(gdb) set listsize 10

Before this patch:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00367.html
was applied, the "set listsize" command was a var_integer command, and
"unlimited" was set with 0. Internally, var_integer maps 0 to INT_MAX
case var_integer:
{
...
if (val == 0 && c->var_type == var_integer)
val = INT_MAX;
The change in that patch to zuinteger_unlimited command, meant that -1
is left as -1 in the command's control variable (lines_to_list), and
the code in source.c isn't expecting that -- it only expects positive
numbers.
I previously suggested fixing the code and keeping the new behavior,
but I found that "set listsize 0" is currently used in the wild, and
we do have a bunch of other commands where "0" means unlimited, so I'm
thinking that changing this command alone in isolation is not a good
idea.
So I now strongly prefer reverting back the behavior in 7.6 to the
same behavior the command has had since 2006 (0==unlimited, -1=error).
Before that, set listsize -1 would be accepted as unlimited as well.
After 7.6 is out, in mainline, we can get back to reconsidering
changing this command's behavior, if there's a real need for being
able to suppress output. For now, let's play it safe.
The "list line 1 with unlimited listsize" test in list.exp was
originally written years and years ago expecting 0 to mean "no
output", but GDB never actually worked that way, even when the tests
were written, so the tests had been xfailed then. This patch now
adjusts the test to the new behavior, so that the test actually
passes, and the xfail is removed.

Before the changes starting at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00020.html>, the 'set
listsize' command only accepted "0" as special value, meaning
"unlimited". The testsuite actually tried "set listsize -1" and
expected that to mean unlimited too.
If you tried testing list.exp at the time of that patch above,
you'd get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: list line 10 with listsize 100
set listsize 0
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: setting listsize to 0 #6

Notice that "set listsize -1" actually failed with "integer 4294967295
out of range", but we issued a PASS anyway.
(and notice how the "listsize of 0 suppresses output" test passes bogusly too.)
This patch fixes that testsuite problem in the obvious way.

When I tried running the btrace tests, I noticed something odd in the gdb.log file:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/btrace22343.x
Breakpoint 1, main () at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/btrace22343.c:1

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(gdb) record btrace
Target does not support branch tracing.
(gdb) testcase ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/enable.exp completed in 0 seconds
I knew that the btrace tests on my machine weren't supposed to work,
but still, that error made me wonder if the test had something broken,
and waste a few minutes looking up where that is coming from.
The issue is that the btrace detection deletes the source file right
after compiling it, and before GDB has a chance to open it. It's
really harmless, but I'd rather spare others from going through the
same exercise.
We now get the regular:
(gdb) run

This is a regression from 7.5, introduced/exposed by:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-07/msg00259.html
There are a series of issues with this code.
It does:
unsigned int val = parse_and_eval_long (arg);
^^^^^^^^^^^^
(unsigned, usually 32-bit) while parse_and_eval_long returns a LONGEST
(usually 64-bit), so we lose precision without noticing:
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
(gdb) show remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
The maximum number of target hardware watchpoints is 0.
While at it, print the invalid number with plongest, so the user sees
what GDB thought the number was:
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
integer 4294967296 out of range
So with "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit -1", val ends converted
to 0xffffffff, which then fails the
else if (val >= INT_MAX)
error (_("integer %u out of range"), val);
test.
Looking at that INT_MAX check, we forbid INT_MAX itself, but we
shouldn't, as that does fit in 'int' -- we want to forbid values
_greater_ than INT_MAX (and less than INT_MIN, while at it):
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 2147483647
integer 2147483647 out of range
The same problem is in the new var_zuinteger_unlimited code, which
also uses "int" for variable.
Also, when printing a 'signed int', we should use %d, not %u.
This adds a couple regression tests. Not completely thorough in checking
all kinds of invalid input; I'm saving more exaustive testing around
zXXinteger commands for something like new test-assisting commands
like "maint test cmd-zinteger -1", where testing would focus on the
command types, and thus be independent of particular user commands of
particular GDB features.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix for PR c++/15203 and PR c++/15210
Date: Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:50:49 -0300 (5 days, 4 hours, 57 minutes ago)

Hi,
This bug was reported internally at our Bugzilla, along with a proposed
fix. After talking to Keith about it, he investigated and came up with
another patch needed to really fix the issue on CVS HEAD.
The first part of the fix is the patch to cp-namespace.c. It handles
the case when we are accessing a static variable inside a function
(inside a class) by the full linespec (is it right, Keith?). E.g.:
class foo
{
public:
int bar()
{
static int var = 0;
}
};
And then, printing the value of `var':
(gdb) print 'foo::bar()::var'
GDB would fall in an internal_error:
gdb/cp-namespace.c:816: internal-error: cp_lookup_nested_symbol called on a non-aggregate type.
This is because `cp_lookup_nested_symbol' is not handling the case when
TYPE_CODE is either _FUNC or _METHOD. This patch fixes it by returning
NULL in this case.
The second part of the fix is the patch to elfread.c. It is needed
because the BSF_GNU_UNIQUE flag was added to some symbols in
<http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-06/msg00016.html>. Because of
that, (still) the command:
(gdb) print 'foo::bar()::var'
where `var' is a static variable returns:
"No symbol "foo::bar()::var" in current context."
So with the second patch applied the command finally DTRT:
(gdb) print 'foo::bar()::var'
$1 = 0
This may not be the ideal solution, according to Keith it would be good
to implement productions on c-exp.y in order to recognize
CLASS::FUNCTION::VARIABLE, but it is a solution which works with what we
have today.
I regtested it in Fedora 17 x86_64 with -m64 and -m32, including
gdbserver, without regressions.
