Consider the following declarations in Ada... type Item is range -32 .. 31; for Item'Size use 6; type Table is array (Natural range 0 .. 4) of Item; pragma Pack (Table); ... which declare a packed array whose elements are 6 bits long. The debugger currently does not notice that the array is packed, and thus prints values of this type incorrectly. This can be seen in the "ptype" output: (gdb) ptype table type = array (0 .. 4) of foo.item Normally, the debugger should print: (gdb) ptype table type = array (0 .. 4) of foo.item <packed: 6-bit elements> The debugging information for this array looks like this: .uleb128 0xf # (DIE (0x15c) DW_TAG_array_type) .long .LASF9 # DW_AT_name: "pck__table" .byte 0x6 # DW_AT_bit_stride .long 0x1a9 # DW_AT_type .uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_subrange_type) .long 0x3b # DW_AT_type .byte 0 # DW_AT_lower_bound .byte 0x4 # DW_AT_upper_bound .byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x15c The interesting part is the DW_AT_bit_stride attribute, which tells the size of the array elements is 6 bits, rather than the normal element type's size. This patch adds support for this attribute by first creating gdbtypes.c::create_array_type_with_stride, which is an enhanced version of create_array_type taking an extra parameter as the stride. The old create_array_type can then be re-implemented very simply by calling the new create_array_type_with_stride. We can then use this new function from dwarf2read, to create arrays with or without stride. gdb/ChangeLog: * gdbtypes.h (create_array_type_with_stride): Add declaration. * gdbtypes.c (create_array_type_with_stride): New function, renaming create_array_type, but with an added parameter called "bit_stride". (create_array_type): Re-implement using create_array_type_with_stride. * dwarf2read.c (read_array_type): Add support for DW_AT_byte_stride and DW_AT_bit_stride attributes. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.dwarf2/arr-stride.c: New file. * gdb.dwarf2/arr-stride.exp: New file. The test, relying purely on generating an assembly file, only verifies the type description of our array. But I was also able to verify manually that the debugger print values of these types correctly as well (which was not the case prior to this patch). |

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.
