and stack pointer during stepping, to speed things up.
A. Changes to not select a frame until we need a selected frame:
* blockframe.c (flush_cached_frames): Call select_frame (NULL, -1).
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Move call to select_frame back to
normal_stop. This reverts a change of 13 Apr 94 (it says Jeff
Law, but the change was my idea); the only reason for that change
was so we could save and restore the selected frame in
wait_for_inferior, and now that flush_cached frames clears the
selected frame, that should work OK now.
B. Changes to not create a current_frame until we need one:
* blockframe.c (get_current_frame): If current_frame is NULL, try
to create an innermost frame.
* sparc-tdep.c (sparc_pop_frame), infcmd.c (run-stack_dummy),
infrun.c (wait_for_inferior), thread.c (thread_switch),
convex-tdep.c (set_thread_command), a29k-tdep.c (pop_frame),
alpha-tdep.c (alpha_pop_frame), convex-xdep.c (core_file_command),
h8300-tdep.c (h8300_pop_frame), h8500-tdep.c (h8300_pop_frame),
hppa-tdep.c (hppa_pop_frame), i386-tdep.c (i386_pop_frame),
i960-tdep.c (pop_frame), m68k-tdep.c
(m68k_pop_frame), mips-tdep.c (mips_pop_frame), rs6000-tdep.c
(push_dummy_frame, pop_dummy_frame, pop_frame), sh-tdep.c
(pop_frame), config/arm/tm-arm.h (POP_FRAME),
config/convex/tm-convex.h (POP_FRAME), config/gould/tm-pn.h
(POP_FRAME), config/ns32k/tm-merlin.h (POP_FRAME),
config/ns32k/tm-umax.h (POP_FRAME), config/tahoe/tm-tahoe.h
(POP_FRAME), config/vax/tm-vax.h (POP_FRAME): Don't
call create_new_frame.
* corelow.c (core_open), altos-xdep.c (core_file_command),
arm-xdep.c (core_file_command), gould-xdep.c (core_file_command),
m3-nat.c (select_thread), sun386-nat.c (core_file_command),
umax-xdep.c (core_file_command): Don't call create_new_frame; do
call flush_cached_frames.
* blockframe.c (reinit_frame_cache): Don't call create_new_frame
or select_frame.
C. Changes to get rid of stop_frame_address and instead only
fetch the frame pointer when we need it.
* breakpoint.c (bpstat_stop_status): Remove argument
frame_address; use FRAME_FP (get_current_frame ()).
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Don't pass frame pointer to
bpstat_stop_status.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Use FRAME_FP (get_current_frame
()) instead of stop_frame_address.
* infrun.c (save_inferior_status, restore_inferior_status),
inferior.h (struct inferior_status): Don't save and restore
stop_frame_address.
* inferior.h, infcmd.c, thread.c (thread_switch), m3-nat.c
(select_thread): Remove stop_frame_address and uses thereof.
D. Same thing for the stack pointer.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Remove stop_sp and replace
uses thereof with read_sp ().
E. Change to eliminate one nasty little spot where we were
wanting to know the frame pointer from before the current step
(idea from GDB 3.5, which saved my ass, because my other ideas of
how to fix it were very baroque).
* infrun.c: Remove prev_frame_address.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior, step_over_function): Use
step_frame_address instead of prev_frame_address.
F. Same basic idea for the stack pointer.
* inferior.h, infcmd.c: New variable step_sp.
* infcmd.c (step_1, until_next_command): Set it.
* infrun.c: Remove prev_sp and replace uses by step_sp.
* infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): If we get out of the step
range, then set step_sp to the current stack pointer before we
start going again.
the end of the list of objfiles, instead of at the beginning.
* xcoffread.c (allocate_include_entry): New function, abstracted
from code in record_include_begin.
(record_include_begin, record_include_end): Call it.
* blockframe.c (reinit_frame_cache): Test inferior_pid instead of
target_has_stack to decide whether to create a real stack frame
for the cache.
* coffread.c (process_coff_symbol) [CXUX_TARGET]: Ignore vendor
section.
* config/m88k/tm-cxux.h (CXUX_TARGET): Define.
* h8300-tdep.c: Include "dis-asm.h" instead of <dis-asm.h>.
(go32_readchar): Special handling for faster polling. (async
structure): Volatile.
* h8300-tdep.c (print_register_hook): Allocate and use the right
number bytes for the raw register.
* h8500-tdep.c (regoff, frame_find_saved_reg, examine_prologue):
deleted. (h8500_register_size, h8500_register_virtual_type, ):
Use new way of counting registers.
* remote-e7000.c (echo_index): deleted. (expect): Better handling
of user interrupts. (expect_prompt): Remove never used log file
support. (want, want_nopc): Add support for H8/300H.
(fetch_regs_from_dump): Treat \r and \n as whitespace.
(e7000_drain): Send an "end" command before waiting for output to
stop. (e7000_wait): Cope with H8/300H, better handling of user
interrupts. (why_stop, expect_n, sub2_from_pc): New function.
* remote-utils.c (gr_load_image): call fflush and QUIT more regularly.
* utils.c (notice_quit): New function for polling for user interrupts.
Change all references to stdout/stderr to gdb_stdout/gdb_stderr.
Replace all calls to stdio output functions with calls to
corresponding _unfiltered functions (`fprintf_unfiltered')
Replaced calls to fopen for output to gdb_fopen.
Added sufficient goo to utils.c and defs.h to make the above work.
The net effect is that stdio output functions are only directly used
in utils.c. Elsewhere, the _unfiltered and _filtered functions and
GDB_FILE type are used.
In the near future, GDB_FILE will stop being equivalant to FILE.
The semantics of some commands has changed in a very subtle way:
called in the right context, they may cause new occurences of
prompt_for_continue() behavior. The testsuite doesn't notice anything
like this, though.
Please respect this change by not reintroducing stdio output
dependencies in the main body of gdb code. All output from commands
should go to a GDB_FILE.
Target-specific code can still use stdio directly to communicate with
targets.
New functions.
* infrun.c (normal_stop): Don't try and set the pc in the current
frame coredump if there isn't one.
* remote-sim.c (gdbsim_store_register): Don't
SWAP_TARGET_AND_HOST, sim_store_register takes bytes in raw order.
(gdbsim_wait): Set status with WSETSTOP.
* config/h8300/tm-h8300.h (sr_get_debug): Define
* h8300-tdep.c (NEXT_PROLOGUE_INSN): Make pword1 an INSN_WORD *
not short *.
* findvar.c, defs.h
({extract,store}_{signed_integer,unsigned_integer,address}):
New routines to replace SWAP_TARGET_AND_HOST.
All over: All uses of SWAP_TARGET_AND_HOST on integers replaced.
({extract,store}_{signed_integer,unsigned_integer,address}):
New routines to replace SWAP_TARGET_AND_HOST.
All over: All uses of SWAP_TARGET_AND_HOST on integers replaced.
(pollquit): New function to poll keyboard for user interrupt,
called from QUIT.
* xm-go32.h (QUIT): Define to call pollquit.
* h8300-tdep.c (examine_prologue): Use correct value for number of
registers.
* All GDB files that #include defs.h: Removed stdio.h.
(defs.h): #include stdio.h.
This has been tested by building GDBs for all targets hosted on Sun4.
None of the build problems were related to stdio.h inclusion. (n.b.
many configurations don't build for other reasons.)
a ptype to reflect the setting of TARGET_PTR_BIT. Set the
TYPE_FLAGS of a ptype to TYPE_FLAG_UNSIGNED.
* tm-h8300.h, h8300-tdep.c, remote-hms.c: personal checkpoint
* printcmd.c (print_address): if ADDR_BITS_REMOVE is defined, use
it before printing out the hex shape of an address.
describing enum.
* defs.h: added new #define for TARGET_PTR_BIT, defaults to size
of target int.
* h8300-tdep.c, remote-hms.c, tm-h8300.h: too many changes to count
* symtab.c (lookup_reference_type, lookup_ptr_type): use
TARGET_PTR_BIT to determine size of a pointer
* values.c (unpack_long): when unpacking a REF or a PTR don't
assume the size of the type.
