The ptrace args/return types detection doesn't work properly in C++ mode, on non-GNU/Linux hosts. For example, on gcc70 (NetBSD 5.1), where the prototype is: int ptrace(int, __pid_t, void*, int); configure misdetects it as: $ grep PTRACE_TYPE config.h #define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1 int #define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3 int * #define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4 int /* #undef PTRACE_TYPE_ARG5 */ #define PTRACE_TYPE_RET int resulting in: ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c: In function 'void amd64bsd_fetch_inferior_registers(target_ops*, regcache*, int)': ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:56: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c: In function 'void amd64bsd_store_inferior_registers(target_ops*, regcache*, int)': ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:104: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:110: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules We could address this [1], however despite ptrace.m4's claim: # Needs to be tested in C++ mode, to detect whether we need to cast # the first argument to enum __ptrace_request. it appears that there's actually no need to test in C++ mode. Always running the ptrace tests in C mode works just the same on GNU/Linux. I remember experimenting with several different ways to handle the original issue back then, and maybe that was needed in some other attempt and then I didn't realize it ended up not really necessary. Confirmed that this fixes the NetBSD 5.1 C++ build, and confirmed that C and C++ builds on Fedora 23 are unaffected.

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.
