The goal of this patch is to allow target dependent address space qualifiers
in the C++ expression parser. This can be useful for memory examination on
targets that actually use different address spaces in hardware without
having to deep-dive into implementation details of the whole solution.
GDB uses the @ symbol to parse address space qualifiers. The only current
user that I am aware of is the __flash support for avr, which was added in
"Add support for the __flash qualifier on AVR"
(487d975399)
and only works for C.
One use-case of the AVR patch is:
~~~
const __flash char data_in_flash = 0xab;
int
main (void)
{
const __flash char *pointer_to_flash = &data_in_flash;
}
~~~
~~~
(gdb) print pointer_to_flash
$1 = 0x1e8 <data_in_flash> "\253"
(gdb) print/x *pointer_to_flash
$2 = 0xab
(gdb) x/x pointer_to_flash
0x1e8 <data_in_flash>: 0xXXXXXXab
(gdb)
(gdb) p/x *(char* @flash) pointer_to_flash
$3 = 0xab
~~~
I want to enable a similar usage of e.g. @local in C++.
Before this patch (using "set debug parser on"):
~~~
(gdb) p *(int* @local) 0x1234
(...)
Reading a token: Next token is token '@' ()
Shifting token '@' ()
Entering state 46
Reading a token: Next token is token UNKNOWN_CPP_NAME (ssym<name=local, sym=(null), field_of_this=0>)
A syntax error in expression, near `local) &x'.
~~~
After:
~~~
(gdb) p *(int* @local) 0x1234
(...)
Reading a token: Next token is token '@' ()
Shifting token '@' ()
Entering state 46
Reading a token: Next token is token UNKNOWN_CPP_NAME (ssym<name=local, sym=(null), field_of_this=0>)
Shifting token UNKNOWN_CPP_NAME (ssym<name=local, sym=(null), field_of_this=0>)
Entering state 121
Reducing stack by rule 278 (line 1773):
$1 = token UNKNOWN_CPP_NAME (ssym<name=local, sym=(null), field_of_this=0>)
-> $$ = nterm name ()
Stack now 0 49 52 76 222 337 46
Entering state 167
Reducing stack by rule 131 (line 1225):
$1 = token '@' ()
$2 = nterm name ()
Unknown address space specifier: "local"
~~~
The "Unknown address space qualifier" is the right behaviour, as I ran this
on a target that doesn't have multiple address spaces and therefore obviously
no support for such qualifiers.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* c-exp.y (single_qualifier): Handle UNKNOWN_CPP_NAME.
