Binutils with MCST patches
cc0e770c0d
Consider the following situation Ada code:
type Kind_T is (One, Two, Three);
type Time_Set_T is array (Kind_T) of Integer;
type T is record
Started : Time_Set_T;
end record;
Null_T : constant T := (Started => (others => 0));
My_Item : Pck.T := Pck.Null_T;
Trying to print the value of My_Item.Started is no problem:
(gdb) p item.started
$1 = (0, 0, 0)
However, if you save My_Item into a convenience variable first,
and then try to print a component of that record, you get
an unexpected memory error, instead of getting the same result.
For instance:
(gdb) set variable $item := item
(gdb) p $item.started
Cannot access memory at address 0x0
The issue occurs when, after we extracted the component from
the convenience variable, we next try to "fix" it (which is
ada-lang speak for resolving the type into a static type).
This is done in ada_to_fixed_value, which delegates to
ada_to_fixed_value_create via:
val = ada_to_fixed_value_create (value_type (val),
value_address (val), val);
And looking at ada_to_fixed_value_create, we see that:
struct type *type = ada_to_fixed_type (type0, 0, address, NULL, 1);
if (type == type0 && val0 != NULL)
return val0;
else
return value_from_contents_and_address (type, 0, address);
The part that interests us, in this case, is the "else" branch,
where we obviously make the implicit assumption that our object
has an address, which is not true, in this case, because we are
actually dealing with a convenience variable.
This patch plugs that hole by adding special handing for situations
where val does not live in memory. In that case, we just create
a not_lval value using val's contents.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_value_create): Add handling of
the case where VALUE_LVAL (val0) is not lval_memory.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/convvar_comp: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

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.
