/* This structure maintains information on a per-objfile basis about the
"entry point" of the objfile, and the scope within which the entry point
exists. It is possible that gdb will see more than one objfile that is
executable, each with its own entry point.
For example, for dynamically linked executables in SVR4, the dynamic linker
code is contained within the shared C library, which is actually executable
and is run by the kernel first when an exec is done of a user executable
that is dynamically linked. The dynamic linker within the shared C library
then maps in the various program segments in the user executable and jumps
to the user executable's recorded entry point, as if the call had been made
directly by the kernel.
The traditional gdb method of using this info was to use the
recorded entry point to set the entry-file's lowpc and highpc from
the debugging information, where these values are the starting
address (inclusive) and ending address (exclusive) of the
instruction space in the executable which correspond to the
"startup file", I.E. crt0.o in most cases. This file is assumed to
be a startup file and frames with pc's inside it are treated as
nonexistent. Setting these variables is necessary so that
backtraces do not fly off the bottom of the stack.
NOTE: cagney/2003-09-09: It turns out that this "traditional"
method doesn't work. Corinna writes: ``It turns out that the call
to test for "inside entry file" destroys a meaningful backtrace
under some conditions. E. g. the backtrace tests in the asm-source
testcase are broken for some targets. In this test the functions
are all implemented as part of one file and the testcase is not
necessarily linked with a start file (depending on the target).
What happens is, that the first frame is printed normaly and
following frames are treated as being inside the enttry file then.
This way, only the #0 frame is printed in the backtrace output.''
Ref "frame.c" "NOTE: vinschen/2003-04-01".
Gdb also supports an alternate method to avoid running off the bottom
of the stack.
There are two frames that are "special", the frame for the function
containing the process entry point, since it has no predecessor frame,
and the frame for the function containing the user code entry point
(the main() function), since all the predecessor frames are for the
process startup code. Since we have no guarantee that the linked
in startup modules have any debugging information that gdb can use,
we need to avoid following frame pointers back into frames that might
have been built in the startup code, as we might get hopelessly
confused. However, we almost always have debugging information
available for main().
These variables are used to save the range of PC values which are
valid within the main() function and within the function containing
the process entry point. If we always consider the frame for
main() as the outermost frame when debugging user code, and the
frame for the process entry point function as the outermost frame
when debugging startup code, then all we have to do is have
DEPRECATED_FRAME_CHAIN_VALID return false whenever a frame's
current PC is within the range specified by these variables. In
essence, we set "ceilings" in the frame chain beyond which we will
not proceed when following the frame chain back up the stack.
A nice side effect is that we can still debug startup code without
running off the end of the frame chain, assuming that we have usable
debugging information in the startup modules, and if we choose to not
use the block at main, or can't find it for some reason, everything
still works as before. And if we have no startup code debugging
information but we do have usable information for main(), backtraces
from user code don't go wandering off into the startup code. */
