When GDB fails to test the condition of a conditional breakpoint, for whatever reason, the error message looks like this: (gdb) break foo if (*(int *) 0) == 1 Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Error in testing breakpoint condition: Cannot access memory at address 0x0 Breakpoint 1, foo () at bpcond.c:11 11 int a = 32; (gdb) The line I'm interested in for this commit is this one: Error in testing breakpoint condition: In the case above we can figure out that the problematic breakpoint was #1 because in the final line of the message GDB reports the stop at breakpoint #1. However, in the next few patches I plan to change this. In some cases I don't think it makes sense for GDB to report the stop as being at breakpoint #1, consider this case: (gdb) list some_func 1 int 2 some_func () 3 { 4 int *p = 0; 5 return *p; 6 } 7 8 void 9 foo () 10 { (gdb) break foo if (some_func ()) Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; Error in testing breakpoint condition: The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB. GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received. To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on". Evaluation of the expression containing the function (some_func) will be abandoned. When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. Breakpoint 1, 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; (gdb) Notice that, the final lines of output reports the stop as being at breakpoint #1, even though the inferior in not located within some_func, and it's certainly not located at the breakpoint location. I find this behaviour confusing, and propose that this should be changed. However, if I make that change then every reference to breakpoint #1 will be lost from the error message. So, in this commit, in preparation for the later commits, I propose to change the 'Error in testing breakpoint condition:' line to this: Error in testing condition for breakpoint NUMBER: where NUMBER will be filled in as appropriate. Here's the first example with the updated error: (gdb) break foo if (*(int *) 0) == 0 Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0x0 Breakpoint 1, foo () at bpcond.c:11 11 int a = 32; (gdb) The breakpoint number does now appear twice in the output, but I don't see that as a negative. This commit just changes the one line of the error, and updates the few tests that either included the old error in comments, or actually checked for the error in the expected output. As the only test that checked the line I modified is a Python test, I've added a new test that doesn't rely on Python that checks the error message in detail. While working on the new test, I spotted that it would fail when run with native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver target boards. This turns out to be due to a gdbserver bug. To avoid cluttering this commit I've added a work around to the new test script so that the test passes for the remote boards, in the next few commits I will fix gdbserver, and update the test script to remove the work around. |

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.
