Hi,
I see such warning below on one compiler I am using.
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
../../workspace/gdb/stack.c: In function 'frame_info':
../../workspace/gdb/stack.c:1519:20: error: 'caller_pc' may be used uninitialized in this function
Go through the gdb-patches archives and find the "canonical" way to
fix this warning is to initialize the variable.

* stack.c (frame_info): Initialize variable caller_pc.
I meant for this script to be +x, but missed when doing the initial CVS
commit. It wasn't possible to fix w/CVS, but it is w/git, so do it.

* run-tests.sh: Add +x file mode.
These files are source files and have no business being +x. We couldn't
easily fix it in CVS (you need login+write access to the raw rcs files),
but we can fix this w/git.

These scripts use /bin/ksh, but they're dirt simple and can be used with
/bin/sh, so just change the shebang.

Doing "info frame" in the outermost frame, when that was indicated by
the next frame saying the unwound PC is undefined/not saved, results
in error and incomplete output:
(gdb) bt

(gdb)
Not saved register values are treated as optimized out values
internally throughout. stack.c:frame_info is handing unvailable
values, but not optimized out ones. The patch deletes the
frame_unwind_caller_pc_if_available wrapper function and instead lets
errors propagate to frame_info (it's only user).
As frame_unwind_pc now needs to be able to handle and cache two
different error scenarios, the prev_pc.p variable is replaced with an
enumeration.
(FWIW, I looked into making gdbarch_unwind_pc or a variant return
struct value's instead, but it results in lots of boxing and unboxing
for no real gain -- e.g., the mips and arm implementations need to do
computation on the unboxed PC value. Might as well throw an error on
first attempt to get at invalid contents.)
After the patch, we get:
(gdb) info frame
Stack level 2, frame at 0x0:
rip = 0x323d4f168d in clone (../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:115); saved rip = <not saved>

(gdb)
A new test is added. It's based off dw2-reg-undefined.exp, and tweaked to
mark the return address (rip) of "stop_frame" as undefined.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

This improves the packing of struct partial_symtab. I noticed with
pahole that were were a couple of holes. This consolidates the holes
without, I think, affecting readability -- it just moves the "user"
field a bit earlier in the struct. This change saves a small amount
of memory.
2013-12-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* psympriv.h (struct partial_symtab) <user>: Move earlier.
This fixes a couple of old "32x64" FIXME comments by using paddress

While looking into the probe API, it seemed to me that there were a
number of methods in sym_probe_fns that were not needed. This patch
removes them.
Specifically, it seems to me that sym_probe_fns ought to be concerned
with the API for constructing the probes. Any method relating to some
aspect of an individual probe can be handled via the probe's own
vtable. That is, the double indirection here doesn't seem useful --
it certainly isn't in fact used, but also I couldn't think of a
potential use.

In some languages, e.g. fortran, arrays start with index 1

With a simple Ada program where I have 3 functions, one just calling
the next, the backtrace is currently broken when GDB is compiled
at -O2:
#0 hello.first () at hello.adb:5
#1 0x0000000100001475 in hello.second () at hello.adb:10
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
It turns out that a recent patch deleted the assignment of variable
this_id, making it an unitialized variable:
* frame-unwind.c (default_frame_unwind_stop_reason): Return
UNWIND_OUTERMOST if the frame's ID is outer_frame_id.
* frame.c (get_prev_frame_1): Remove outer_frame_id check.
The hunk in question starts with:
- /* Check that this frame is not the outermost. If it is, don't try
- to unwind to the prev frame. */
- this_id = get_frame_id (this_frame);
- if (frame_id_eq (this_id, outer_frame_id))
(the code was removed as redundant - but removing the assignment
was in fact not intentional).
There is no other code in this function that sets the variable.
Instead of re-adding the statement in the lone section where it is
actually used, I inlined it, and then got rid of the variable
altogether. This way, and until we start needing this frame ID
in another location within that function, we dont' have to worry
about the variable's validity/lifetime.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* frame.c (get_prev_frame_1): Delete variable "this_id".
Replace its use by a call to get_frame_id.
We've observed in Windows 2012 that ntdll.dll contains some unwind
records with the version field set to 2. This patch adjusts the
decoder to accept records flagged with this version as well.
Version 2 appears to still be largely undocumented at this stage.
However, apart from a mysterious opcode 6, everything else still
seems to remain the same. So this patch also changes the decoder
to ignore those opcodes; before this change, the debugger would
silently stop the decoding, and let the frame unwinder make do
with what it the decoder managed to decode up to that point.
It's unclear at this point what we're losing by not being able to
decode that opcode. But the information does not appear to be critical,
at least as far as call unwinding is concerned.
gdb/ChangeLog:
(from Tristan Gingold <gingold@adacore.com>)
(from Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>)
* amd64-windows-tdep.c (amd64_windows_frame_decode_insns):
Accept version 2. Ignore operations using opcode 6.
I wanted to find the docs for "catch load" the other day, and I found
out that this isn't in the index. It seems to me that each command
ought to be in the index for quick reference like this, so this patch
adds an @kindex (chosen because it seems to be what the rest of the
manual does) for each "catch" subcommand.
2013-12-03 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Set Catchpoints): Add @kindex for each command
documented here.
I happened to notice that the gdbserver program doesn't appear in the
top-level "dir" file. This adds an entry for it to the gdb manual.
2013-12-03 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (@direntry): Add menu item for gdbserver.
an entry in a .rsrc section.
(pe_print_resource_directory): New function: Displays a directory
in a .rsrc section.
(pe_print_rsrc): New function: Displays the contents of .rsrc
section.
(_bfd_XX_print_private_bfd_data_common): Call pe_print_rsrc.
* binutils-all/windres/windres.exp: Run for x86_64-pc-cygwin.
Add test of "objump -p" output.
2013-10-03 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
* gdb.base/sigall.exp (test_one_sig): gdb identifies SIGLOST as a
SIGPWR in sparc64.
* gdb.base/sigall.c (main): In some targets SIGLOST and SIGPWR
have the same signal number. Handle this situation.
Consider the following code:
type Ptr is access all Integer;
IP : Ptr := new Integer'(123);
IP is the Ada exception of a pointer to an integer. To dereference
the pointer and get its value, the user uses the reserved word "all"
as follow:
(gdb) p ip.all
$1 = 123
Ada being a case-insensitive language, the casing should not matter.
Unfortunately, for the reserved word "all", things don't work. For
instance:
(gdb) p ip.ALL
Type integer is not a structure or union type
This patch fixes the problem.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lex.l (find_dot_all): Use strncasecmp instead of strncmp.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/dot_all: New testcase.
With a program raising an exception, trying to debug that program
in GDB/MI mode can yield a crash:
% gdb -i=mi foo
(gdb)
-catch-exception -e "Program_Error"
^done,bkptno="2",bkpt={number="2",type="breakpoint",[...]
(gdb)
-exec-continue
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb)
=library-loaded,id=[...]
&"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 2: Error in expression, near `'.\n"
zsh: 22956 bus error (core dumped) gdb -q -i=mi foo
The problem is triggered by a problem in the compiler which causes
EXP in the following TRY_CATCH block to change unexpectedly when
parse_exp_1 throws an error :
| TRY_CATCH (e, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
| {
| exp = parse_exp_1 (&s, bl->address,
| block_for_pc (bl->address), 0);
| }
In ada-lang.c:create_excep_cond_exprs, EXP is initialized to NULL,
and is expected to remain NULL if parse_exp_1 throws. Instead,
its value gets changed to something invalid. This later crashes
the debugger, when trying to evaluate the bogus expression.
This patch works around the issue by simply forcing EXP back to NULL
when an exception was thrown. A comment explaining why, and the sort
of timeline we're looking at for a fix, is also added.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (create_excep_cond_exprs): Force EXP to NULL
when parse_exp_1 threw an error. Add comment.
This patch extends a bit the news entry we added which documents
general support of the --language option, to add a small reference
to the associated entry which was also added to the "-list-features"
command output.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention "-list-features" in the entry documenting
the support for the "--language" option.
I don't know what I was thinking here to omit the save of r2.
Possibly I was looking at -msave-toc-indirect code at the time, where
r2 is saved in the function prologue.
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc_build_one_stub <ppc_stub_plt_branch_r2off>):
Don't omit saving of r2 for ELFv2. Don't addi 2,2,0.
(ppc_size_one_stub <ppc_stub_plt_branch_r2off>): Adjust to suit.
