On PPC64, the entry point of the function "FN" is ".FN" when a function
descriptor is used. One of the consequences of this is that GDB then
presents the name of the function to the user (eg: in backtraces) with
the leading dot, which is a low-level internal detail that the user
should not be seeing. The Ada decoding should strip it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_decode): strip dot prefix in symbol name.
No testcase added, as a number of existing testcases should already
demonstrate that problem.
We noticed while debugging a program compiled without assertions
enabled and using an older compiler that inserting a catchpoint
on failed assertions would cause an internal error:
(gdb) catch assert
../../src/gdb/ada-lang.c:13321: internal-error: ada_exception_sal:
Assertion`sym != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
This is due to a combination of factors:
1. With older versions of the compiler, the function used as a hook
was provided by a unit that's different from the unit which
provides the hooks for the other exception catchpoints.
2. The program either does not use any assertion, or is compiled
without the assertions enabled.
With newer versions of the compiler, all such functions are provided
by the same unit, so should normally always be available. However,
there can still be reasons why this is not the case. Consider, for
instance, the case of a runtime compiled with -ffunction-sections,
in which case the hook might be eliminated unless assertions are
used and enabled.
So this patch transforms the internal error into a simple error.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_exception_sal): Replace gdb_assert calls
by calls to error.
No testcase added, as the existing testcase gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp
should trigger it when using an older version of GNAT as the Ada
compiler.
When debugging a program compiled with an older version of GNAT,
hitting a catchpoint on unhandled exceptions can caused GDB to
got into an infinite loop. This happens while trying to find
the name of the exception that was raised. For that, it searches
for a frame corresponding to a specific function we know gets
called during the exeption handling.
In our particular case, the compiler was too old, and so GDB never
found that frame, and eventually got past the "main" subprogram,
all the way to system frames, where no symbol was available.
As a result, the code addresses could not be resolved into
a function name, leading to the infinite loop because of
a misplaced update of our loop variable "fi":
while (fi != NULL)
{
char *func_name;
enum language func_lang;
find_frame_funname (fi, &func_name, &func_lang, NULL);
if (func_name != NULL)
{
make_cleanup (xfree, func_name);
if (strcmp (func_name,
data->exception_info->catch_exception_sym) == 0)
break; /* We found the frame we were looking for... */
fi = get_prev_frame (fi);
}
}
If FUNC_NAME is NULL, then FI never gets updated ever after!
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unhandled_exception_name_addr_from_raise):
Move update of loop variable "fi".
No testcase added, as the existing testcase gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp
should trigger it when using an older version of GNAT as the Ada
compiler.
Consider a variable "PRA" defined as a packed array of packed
records as follow:
subtype Int is Integer range 0 .. 7;
type Packed_Rec is record
X, Y : Int;
W : Integer;
end record;
pragma Pack (Packed_Rec);
type Packed_RecArr is array (Integer range <>) of Packed_Rec;
pragma Pack (Packed_RecArr);
PRA : Packed_RecArr (1 .. 3);
Consider also a variable "PR", which is a Packed_Rec record,
declared as follow:
PR : Packed_Rec := (2, 2, 2);
Trying to assign a new value to PRA using an aggregate expression
where one of the components is our variable PR yields the wrong
result on big-endian machines (e.g. on ppc-linux):
(gdb) p pra := (pr, (2,2,2), (2,2,2))
$6 = ((x => 1, y => 0, w => 8), [...]
On the other hand, replacing "pr" by "(2,2,2)" does work.
I tracked the issue down to the bit offset we use to extract
the value of "PR" and copy it inside PRA. in value_assign_to_component,
we have:
if (gdbarch_bits_big_endian (get_type_arch (value_type (container))))
move_bits ([target buffer], [bit offset in target buffer],
[source buffer where PR is stored],
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (component)) * TARGET_CHAR_BIT - bits,
bits, 1);
The issue is with the third-to-last argument, which provides the bit
offset where the value of PR is stored relative to its start address,
and therefore the bit offset relative to the start of the source
buffer passed as the previous argument.
In our case, component is a 38bit packed record whose TYPE_LENGTH
is 5 bytes, so the bit-offset that gets calculated is 2 (bits).
However, that formula only really applies to scalars, whereas
in our case, we have a record (struct). The offset in the non-scalar
case should be zero.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (value_assign_to_component): In the case of
big-endian targets, extract the bits of the given VAL
using an src_offset of zero if container is not a scalar.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

After looking into why the build failed for Simon but not for me, we
found that the underlying cause was due to how gcc treats
-Wformat-nonliteral. gcc requires -Wformat to be given first; but
warning.m4 was not doing this, so -Wformat-nonliteral was not being
used.
This patch changes warning.m4 to account gcc's requirement.
This then showed that the target-float.c build change in the earlier
Makefile patch was also incorrect. Simon didn't see this in his
build, but gcc now points it out. So, this patch fixes this problem
as well.

Consider a vla variable 'a' in function f1:
...
<2><1a7>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1a8> DW_AT_description : a
<1aa> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x311>
...
with abstract origin 'a':
...
<2><311>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_variable)
<312> DW_AT_name : a
<317> DW_AT_type : <0x325>
...
and inherited abstract vla type:
...
<1><325>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<326> DW_AT_type : <0x33a>
<2><32e>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<32f> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<333> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: fd 1b 3 0 0
(DW_OP_GNU_variable_value: <0x31b>)
...
where the upper bound refers to this artificial variable D.1922 without location
attribute:
...
<2><31b>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_variable)
<31c> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x39a): D.1922
<320> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<324> DW_AT_artificial : 1
...
Currently, when we execute "p sizeof (a)" in f1, the upper bound is calculated
by evaluating the DW_OP_GNU_variable_value expression referring to D.1922, but
since that die doesn't have a location attribute, we get:
...
value has been optimized out
...
However, there's also artificial variable D.4283 that is sibling of vla
variable 'a', has artificial variable D.1922 as abstract origin, and has a
location attribute:
...
<2><1ae>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1af> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f8): D.4283
<1b3> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x31b>
<1b7> DW_AT_location : 11 byte block: 75 1 8 20 24 8 20 26 31 1c 9f
(DW_OP_breg5 (rdi):1; DW_OP_const1u: 32;
DW_OP_shl; DW_OP_const1u: 32; DW_OP_shra;
DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_minus; DW_OP_stack_value)
...
The intended behaviour for DW_OP_GNU_variable_value is to find a die that
refers to D.1922 as abstract origin, has a location attribute and is
'in scope', so the expected behaviour is:
...
$1 = 6
...
The 'in scope' concept can be thought of as variable D.1922 having name
attribute "D.1922", and variable D.4283 inheriting that attribute, resulting
in D.4283 being declared with name "D.1922" alongside vla a in f1, and when we
lookup "DW_OP_GNU_variable_value D.1922", it should work as if we try to find
the value of a variable named "D.1922" on the gdb command line using
"p D.1922", and we should return the value of D.4283.
This patch fixes the case described above, by:
- adding a field abstract_to_concrete to struct dwarf2_per_objfile,
- using that field to keep track of which concrete dies are instances of an
abstract die, and
- using that information when getting the value DW_OP_GNU_variable_value.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

This commit adds calls to remote_close and clear_gdb_spawn_id to

Sparc V8 does not allow fpop2 instructions (floating point
comparisons) immediately before floating point branches. From the
SPARC Architecture Manual Version 8, section B.22 "Branch on
Floating-point Condition Codes Instructions":
"If the instruction executed immediately before an FBfcc is an FPop2
instruction, the result of the FBfcc is undefined. Therefore, at
least one non FPop2 instruction should be executed between the FPop2
instruction and the FBfcc instruction."
The existing check in GAS, however, does not allow any kind of
floating point instruction before the branch. This patch adds an
extra condition to only disallow fpop2 instructions.

VMA of the first section in the segment containing the ELF file header
(and possibly section headers too) can't be used to reliably find the

of the first section assuming it has contents (vma does have a
relationship to sh_offset, but is only guaranteed in demand paged
executables).
If the first section is SHT_NOBITS and it hasn't been converted to
have file contents by the existence of a following SHT_PROGBITS
section in the same segment, the sh_offset value also isn't reliable.
