Use function entry point record only for entry values
PR28987 notes that optimized code sometimes shows the wrong value of variables at the entry point of a function, if some code was optimized away and the variable has multiple values stored in the debug info for this location. In this example: ``` void foo() { int l_3 = 5, i = 0; for (; i < 8; i++) ; test(l_3, i); } ``` When compiled with optimization, the entry point of foo is at the test() function call, since everything else is optimized away. The debug info of i looks like this: ``` (gdb) info address i Symbol "i" is multi-location: Base address 0x140001600 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 0 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 1 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 2 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 3 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 4 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 5 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 6 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd41600: the constant 7 Range 0x13fd41600-0x13fd4160f: the constant 8 (gdb) p i $1 = 0 ``` Currently, when at the entry point of a function, it will always show the initial value (here 0), while the user would expect the last value (here 8). This logic was introduced for showing the entry-values of function arguments if they are available, but for some reason this was added for non-entry-values as well. One of the tests of amd64-entry-value.exp shows the same problem for function arguments, if you "break stacktest" in the following example, you stop at this line: ``` 124 static void __attribute__((noinline, noclone)) 125 stacktest (int r1, int r2, int r3, int r4, int r5, int r6, int s1, int s2, 126 double d1, double d2, double d3, double d4, double d5, double d6, 127 double d7, double d8, double d9, double da) 128 { 129 s1 = 3; 130 s2 = 4; 131 d9 = 3.5; 132 da = 4.5; 133 -> e (v, v); 134 asm ("breakhere_stacktest:"); 135 e (v, v); 136 } ``` But `bt` still shows the entry values: ``` s1=s1@entry=11, s2=s2@entry=12, ..., d9=d9@entry=11.5, da=da@entry=12.5 ``` I've fixed this by only using the initial values when explicitely looking for entry values. Now the local variable of the first example is as expected: ``` (gdb) p i $1 = 8 ``` And the test of amd64-entry-value.exp shows the expected current and entry values of the function arguments: ``` s1=3, s1@entry=11, s2=4, s2@entry=12, ..., d9=3.5, d9@entry=11.5, da=4.5, da@entry=12.5 ``` Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28987 Tested-By: Guinevere Larsen <blarsen@redhat.com> Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
