This patch documents the return value of core_xfer_shared_libraries_aix
and core_xfer_shared_libraries gdbarch methods, and changes return
type to ULONGEST from LONGEST.
In a following patch, core_xfer_partial. is changed to check their
return values and return an appropriate target_xfer_status.
gdb:
2014-02-07 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdbarch.sh (core_xfer_shared_libraries): Returns ULONGEST. Add
comments.
(core_xfer_shared_libraries_aix): Likewise.
* gdbarch.c, gdbarch.h: Regenerated.
* i386-cygwin-tdep.c (windows_core_xfer_shared_libraries): Return
ULONGEST. Change 'len_avail' type to ULONGEST.
* rs6000-aix-tdep.c (rs6000_aix_ld_info_to_xml): Likewise.
* rs6000-aix-tdep.h (rs6000_aix_ld_info_to_xml): Update
declaration.
(rs6000_aix_core_xfer_shared_libraries_aix): Return ULONGEST.
The current code attempts to provide relocation support when debugging
core files via the rs6000_xfer_partial method of the rs6000-nat
target_ops vector. However, this target_ops vector does not get pushed
on the target stack at all when debugging core files, thus bypassing
completely that part of the code.
This patch fixes the problem by extending corelow's core_xfer_partial
into handling the TARGET_OBJECT_LIBRARIES_AIX object.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (core_xfer_shared_libraries_aix): New method.
* gdbarch.h, gdbarch.c: Regenerate.
* corelow.c (core_xfer_partial): Add TARGET_OBJECT_LIBRARIES_AIX
handling.
* rs6000-aix-tdep.h: New file.
* Makefile.in (HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add rs6000-aix-tdep.h.
* rs6000-aix-tdep.c: Include "rs6000-aix-tdep.h" and
"xml-utils.h".
(struct field_info, struct ld_info_desc): New types.
(ld_info32_desc, ld_info64_desc): New static constants.
(struct ld_info): New type.
(rs6000_aix_extract_ld_info): New function.
(rs6000_aix_shared_library_to_xml): Likewise.
(rs6000_aix_ld_info_to_xml): Likewise.
(rs6000_aix_core_xfer_shared_libraries_aix): Likewise.
(rs6000_aix_init_osabi): Add call to
set_gdbarch_core_xfer_shared_libraries_aix.
* rs6000-nat.c: Add "rs6000-aix-tdep.h" include.
Remove "xml-utils.h" include.
(LdInfo): Delete typedef.
(ARCH64_DECL, LDI_FIELD, LDI_NEXT, LDI_FD, LDI_FILENAME):
Delete macros.
(rs6000_ptrace_ldinfo): Change return type to gdb_byte *.
