Binutils with MCST patches

break-asm-file.exp has some manually written dwarf to create some line number entries like this, [0x0000013d] Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x40053f [0x00000144] Advance Line by 4 to 7 [0x00000146] Copy [0x00000147] Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x400541 [0x0000014e] Advance Line by 1 to 8 [0x00000150] Copy [0x00000151] Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x400547 [0x00000158] Extended opcode 1: End of Sequence 0x40053f is the start address of function func, and is mapped to line 7. 0x400541 is within function func, and is mapped to line 8. (gdb) disassemble /r 0x40053f,+8 Dump of assembler code from 0x40053f to 0x400547: 0x000000000040053f <func+0>: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) 0x0000000000400541 <func+2>: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) 0x0000000000400543 <func+4>: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) 0x0000000000400545 <func+6>: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) in the following test, (gdb) break a/break-asm-file0.s:func Breakpoint 1 at 0x40053f: file a/break-asm-file0.s, line 7. As we can see, breakpoint is set at the start address of function func on x86, which means no prologue is skipped. On other targets, such as arm and aarch64, breakpoint is set at the address *after* the start address, which is mapped to line 8. Then test fails. In fact, it is lucky this test doesn't fail on x86 and x86_64, whose gdbarch method skip_prologue doesn't reply on skip_prologue_using_sal if producer isn't clang. if (find_pc_partial_function (start_pc, NULL, &func_addr, NULL)) { CORE_ADDR post_prologue_pc = skip_prologue_using_sal (gdbarch, func_addr); struct compunit_symtab *cust = find_pc_compunit_symtab (func_addr); /* Clang always emits a line note before the prologue and another one after. We trust clang to emit usable line notes. */ if (post_prologue_pc && (cust != NULL && COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust) != NULL && startswith (COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust), "clang "))) return max (start_pc, post_prologue_pc); } so it doesn't return and go further to prologue analyser. Since ".int 0" isn't an instruction of prologue, nothing is skipped, starting address is used, and test passes. however, on targets which don't have such producer checking, the first line number entry is skipped, and skip_prologue_using_sal returns sal represents the second line number entry. The idea of this patch is to force GDB stop at somewhere which is stilled mapped to line 7 after skipping prologue. I choose to add a new line number entry for the following instruction but mapped to the same line (7), because I see the comments in dwarf2read.c, ... fact that two consecutive line number entries for the same line is a heuristic used by gcc to denote the end of the prologue. then the line table becomes: [0x000000d4] Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x400529 [0x000000db] Advance Line by 4 to 7 [0x000000dd] Copy [0x000000de] Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x40052a [0x000000e5] Advance Line by 0 to 7 [0x000000e7] Copy [0x000000e8] Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x40052b [0x000000ef] Advance Line by 1 to 8 [0x000000f1] Copy [0x000000f2] Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x40052c [0x000000f9] Extended opcode 1: End of Sequence gdb/testsuite: 2015-03-26 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> PR testsuite/18139 * gdb.linespec/break-asm-file0.s (func): New label .Lfunc_2.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
