![]() Add a gdb.Value.bytes attribute. This attribute contains the bytes of the value (assuming the complete bytes of the value are available). If the bytes of the gdb.Value are not available then accessing this attribute raises an exception. The bytes object returned from gdb.Value.bytes is cached within GDB so that the same bytes object is returned each time. The bytes object is created on-demand though to reduce unnecessary work. For some values we can of course obtain the same information by reading inferior memory based on gdb.Value.address and gdb.Value.type.sizeof, however, not every value is in memory, so we don't always have an address. The gdb.Value.bytes attribute will convert any value to a bytes object, so long as the contents are available. The value can be one created purely in Python code, the value could be in a register, or (of course) the value could be in memory. The Value.bytes attribute can also be assigned too. Assigning to this attribute is similar to calling Value.assign, the value of the underlying value is updated within the inferior. The value assigned to Value.bytes must be a buffer which contains exactly the correct number of bytes (i.e. unlike value creation, we don't allow oversized buffers). To support this assignment like behaviour I've factored out the core of valpy_assign. I've also updated convert_buffer_and_type_to_value so that it can (for my use case) check the exact buffer length. The restrictions for when the Value.bytes can or cannot be written too are exactly the same as for Value.assign.

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.
