binutils-gdb modified for the FreeChainXenon project
![]() https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-05/msg00383.html The MI command -var-info-path-expression currently does not handle non-anonymous structs / unions nested within other structs / unions, it will skip parts of the expression. Consider this example: ## START EXAMPLE ## $ cat ex.c #include <string.h> int main () { struct s1 { int a; }; struct ss { struct s1 x; }; struct ss an_ss; memset (&an_ss, 0, sizeof (an_ss)); return 0; } $ gcc -g -o ex.x ex.c $ gdb ex.x (gdb) break 18 Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18. (gdb) run Starting program: /home/user/ex.x Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18 18 return 0; (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-create an_ss * an_ss" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a" ^done,numchild="0",has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a" ^done,path_expr="(an_ss).a" (gdb) print (an_ss).a There is no member named a. ## END EXAMPLE ## Notice that the path expression returned is wrong, and as a result the print command fails. This patch adds a new method to the varobj_ops structure called is_path_expr_parent, to allow language specific control over finding the parent varobj, the current logic becomes the C/C++ version and is extended to handle the nested cases. No other language currently uses this code, so all other languages just get a default method. With this patch, the above example now finishes like this: ## START EXAMPLE ## $ gdb ex.x (gdb) break 18 Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18. (gdb) run Starting program: /home/user/ex.x Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18 18 return 0; (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a" ^done,numchild="0",has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a" ^done,path_expr="((an_ss).x).a" (gdb) print ((an_ss).x).a $1 = 0 ## END EXAMPLE ## Notice that the path expression is now correct, and the print is a success. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-varobj.c (ada_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. * c-varobj.c (c_is_path_expr_parent): New function, moved core from varobj.c, with additional checks. (c_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. (cplus_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. * jv-varobj.c (java_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. * varobj.c (is_path_expr_parent): Call is_path_expr_parent varobj ops method. (varobj_default_is_path_expr_parent): New function. * varobj.h (lang_varobj_ops): Add is_path_expr_parent field. (varobj_default_is_path_expr_parent): Declare new function. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/var-cmd.c (do_nested_struct_union_tests): New function setting up test structures. (main): Call new test function. * gdb.mi/mi2-var-child.exp: Create additional breakpoint in new test function, continue into test function and walk test structures. |

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.
