Binutils with MCST patches
ced9779b4c
Consider a program which provides a symbol without debugging
information. For instance, compiling the following code without -g:
Some_Minimal_Symbol : Integer := 1234;
pragma Export (C, Some_Minimal_Symbol, "some_minsym");
Trying to print this variable with GDB now causes an error, which
is now expected:
(gdb) p some_minsym
'some_minsym' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
However, trying to cast this symbol, or to take its address
does not work:
(gdb) p integer(some_minsym)
'some_minsym' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p &some_minsym
'some_minsym' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
Another manisfestation of this issue can be seen when trying to
insert an Ada exception catchpoint for a specific standard exception
(this only occurs if the Ada runtime is built without debugging
information, which is the default). For instance:
$ (gdb) catch exception constraint_error
warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 0: 'constraint_error' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
This is because, internally, the cachtpoint uses a condition referencing
a minimal symbol, more precisely:
long_integer (e) = long_integer (&constraint_error)
This patch fixes all issues listed above:
1. resolve_subexp: Special-case the handling of OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE
expression elements, where there are no ambiguities to be resolved
in that situation;
2. ada_evaluate_subexp: Enhance the handling of the UNOP_CAST
handling so as to process the case where the target of
the cast is a minimal symbol (as well as a symbol with debugging
information). This mimics what's done in C.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Add handling of OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE.
(ada_evaluate_subexp_for_cast): New function.
(ada_evaluate_subexp) <UNOP_CAST>: Replace code by call to
ada_evaluate_subexp_for_cast.
(ada_evaluate_subexp) <nosideret>: Replace code by call to
eval_skip_value.
* eval.c (evaluate_var_value): Make non-static.
(evaluate_var_msym_value, eval_skip_value): Likewise.
* value.h (evaluate_var_value, evaluate_var_msym_value)
(eval_skip_value): Declare.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/minsyms: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux. No regression. Fixes the following failures:
catch_ex.exp: continuing to Program_Error exception
catch_ex.exp: continuing to failed assertion
catch_ex.exp: continuing to unhandled exception
catch_ex.exp: continuing to program completion
complete.exp: p <Exported_Capitalized>
complete.exp: p Exported_Capitalized
complete.exp: p exported_capitalized
mi_catch_ex.exp: catch Program_Error (unexpected output)
mi_catch_ex.exp: continue to exception catchpoint hit (unknown output after running)
mi_catch_ex.exp: continue to assert failure catchpoint hit (unknown output after running)
mi_catch_ex.exp: continue to unhandled exception catchpoint hit (unknown output after running)
mi_ex_cond.exp: catch C_E if i = 2 (unexpected output)

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.
