binutils-gdb modified for the FreeChainXenon project
![]() I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h: /* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64 or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for ptrace. Provide one to silence compiler warnings. */ #ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace(); #endif I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed. First, the comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had never even heard of). But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C. So if this declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call sites pass some arguments. Since we haven't heard anything about this causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I conclude that it's not used. This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check. gdb/ChangeLog: * ptrace.m4: Don't check for ptrace declaration. * config.in: Re-generate. * configure: Re-generate. * nat/gdb_ptrace.h: Don't declare ptrace if HAVE_DECL_PTRACE is not defined. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * config.in: Re-generate. * configure: Re-generate. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: * config.in: Re-generate. * configure: Re-generate. |

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.
