In a later commit I will add a Python API to access the 'maint packet' functionality, that is, sending a user specified packet to the target. To make implementing this easier, this commit refactors how this command is currently implemented so that the packet_command function is now global. The new global send_remote_packet function takes an object that is an implementation of an abstract interface. Two functions within this interface are then called, one just before a packet is sent to the remote target, and one when the reply has been received from the remote target. Using an interface object in this way allows (1) for the error checking to be done before the first callback is made, this means we only print out what packet it being sent once we know we are going to actually send it, and (2) we don't need to make a copy of the reply if all we want to do is print it. One user visible changes after this commit are the error messages, which I've changed to be less 'maint packet' command focused, this will make them (I hope) better for when send_remote_packet can be called from Python code. So: "command can only be used with remote target" Becomes: "packets can only be sent to a remote target" And: "remote-packet command requires packet text as argument" Becomes: "a remote packet must not be empty" Additionally, in this commit, I've added support for packet replies that contain binary data. Before this commit, the code that printed the reply treated the reply as a C string, it assumed that the string only contained printable characters, and had a null character only at the end. One way to show the problem with this is if we try to read the auxv data from a remote target, the auxv data is binary, so, before this commit: (gdb) target remote :54321 ... (gdb) maint packet qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000 sending: "qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000" received: "l!" (gdb) And after this commit: (gdb) target remote :54321 ... (gdb) maint packet qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000 sending: "qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000" received: "l!\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf0\xfc\xf7\xff\x7f\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xf> (gdb) The binary contents of the reply are now printed as escaped hex. |

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.
