gdb, testsuite: adapt function_range expected name
When writing a dwarf testcase for some C++ code I wanted to use the MACRO_AT_range which in turn uses the function_range proc in dwarf.exp to extract the bounds of 'main'. However, the macro failed as GDB prints the C++ 'main' with its arguments as 'main(int, char**)' or 'main()'. The reason for this is that in read.c::dwarf2_compute_name we call c_type_print_args on C++ functions and append their arguments to the function name. This happens to all C++ functions, but is only visible when the function doesn't have a linkage name. An example might make this more clear. Given the following code >> cat c.cpp int foo (int a, float b) { return 0; } int main (int argc, char **argv) { return 0; } which is legal in both languages, C and C++, and compiling it with e.g. clang or gcc will make the disassemble command look like: >> clang --version clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1 ... >> clang -O0 -g ./c.cpp >> gdb -q ./a.out -ex "start" ... (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main(int, char**): 0x0000000000401120 <+0>: push %rbp 0x0000000000401121 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp ... 0x0000000000401135 <+21>: ret End of assembler dump. (gdb) disassemble foo Dump of assembler code for function _Z3fooif: 0x0000000000401110 <+0>: push %rbp 0x0000000000401111 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp ... 0x000000000040111f <+15>: ret End of assembler dump. Note, that main is emitted with its arguments while for foo the linkage name is being printed, as also visible in its DWARF: >> objdump ./a.out --dwarf=info | grep "foo" -A3 -B3 <2b> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x401110 <33> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x10 <37> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 56 (DW_OP_reg6 (rbp)) <39> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x39): _Z3fooif <3d> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x42): foo <41> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <42> DW_AT_decl_line : 1 <43> DW_AT_type : <0x9a> Now, let's rename the C++ file and compile it as C: >> mv c.cpp c.c >> clang -O0 -g ./c.c >> gdb -q ./a.out -ex "start' ... (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x0000000000401120 <+0>: push %rbp 0x0000000000401121 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp ... 0x0000000000401135 <+21>: ret End of assembler dump. (gdb) disassemble foo Dump of assembler code for function foo: 0x0000000000401110 <+0>: push %rbp 0x0000000000401111 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp ... 0x000000000040111f <+15>: ret End of assembler dump. Note, for foo we did not get a linkage name emitted in DWARF, so it is printed by its name: >> objdump --dwarf=info ./a.out | grep foo -A3 -B3 <2b> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x401110 <33> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x10 <37> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 56 (DW_OP_reg6 (rbp)) <39> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x37): foo <3d> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <3e> DW_AT_decl_line : 1 <3f> DW_AT_prototyped : 1 To make the macro and proc work with C++ as well, an optional argument list was added to the regex matching the function name in the disassemble command in function_range. This does not change any used behavior as currently, there exists no C++ test using the proc function_range. Signed-off-by: Nils-Christian Kempke <nils-christian.kempke@intel.com>
