The ELF psABI-s are quite clear here: On 32-bit the data type is 12
bytes long (with 2 bytes of trailing padding), while on 64-bit it is 16
bytes long (with 6 bytes of padding). Make ieee_md_atof() capable of
handling such padding, and specify the needed padding for x86 (leaving
non-ELF targets alone for now). Split the existing x86 testcase.

BEOS, unless explicitly requesting *-*-beospe* targets, uses standard
ELF. None of the newly enabled tests in the testsuite fail for me.

Relocation offset checks were completely missing in the rl78 backend,
allowing a relocation to write over memory anywhere. This was true
for rl78_special_reloc, a function primarily used when applying debug
relocations, and in rl78_elf_relocate_section used by the linker.
This patch fixes those problems by correcting inaccuracies in the
relocation howtos, then uses those howtos to sanity check relocation
offsets before applying relocations. In addition, the patch
implements overflow checking using the howto information rather than
the ad-hoc scheme implemented in relocate_section. I implemented the
overflow checking in rl78_special_reloc too.

I noticed that the fission-reread.exp test case can cause a complaint
when run with --target_board=cc-with-debug-names:
warning: Section .debug_aranges in [...]/fission-reread has duplicate debug_info_offset 0x0, ignoring .debug_aranges.
The bug here is that this executable has both .debug_info and
.debug_types, and both have a CU at offset 0x0. This triggers the
duplicate warning.
Because .debug_types doesn't provide any address ranges, these CUs can
be ignored. That is, this bug turns out to be another regression from
the info/types merger patch.
This patch fixes the problem by having this loop igore type units.
fission-reread.exp is updated to test for the bug.

While debugging another patch series, I wanted to dump an addrmap. I
came up with this patch, which generalizes the addrmap-dumping code
from psymtab.c and moves it to addrmap.c. psymtab.c is changed to use
the new code.

I spotted what I think is a buglet in proceed_after_vfork_done. After a
vfork child exits or execs, we resume all the threads of the parent. To
do so, we iterate on all threads using iterate_over_threads with the
proceed_after_vfork_done callback. Each thread is resumed if the
following condition is true:
if (thread->ptid.pid () == pid
&& thread->state == THREAD_RUNNING
&& !thread->executing
&& !thread->stop_requested
&& thread->stop_signal () == GDB_SIGNAL_0)
where `pid` is the pid of the vfork parent. This is not multi-target
aware: since it only filters on pid, if there is an inferior with the
same pid in another target, we could end up resuming a thread of that
other inferior. The chances of the stars aligning for this to happen
are tiny, but still.
Fix that by iterating only on the vfork parent's threads, instead of on
all threads. This is more efficient, as we iterate on just the required
threads (inferiors have their own thread list), and we can drop the pid
check. The resulting code is also more straightforward in my opinion,
so it's a win-win.

Before Guile v2.1 [1], calls to `scm_make_smob_type' implicitly added
the created class to the exports list of (oop goops); v2.1+ does not
implicitly create bindings in any modules. This means that the GDB
manual subsection documenting exported types is not quite right when GDB
is linked against Guile <v2.1 (types are exported from (oop goops))
instead of (gdb)) and incorrect when linked against Guile v2.1+ (types
are not bound to any variables at all!).
There is a range of cases in which it's necessary or convenient to be
able to refer to a GDB smob type, for instance:
- Pattern matching based on the type of a value.
- Defining GOOPS methods handling values from GDB (GOOPS methods
typically use dynamic dispatch based on the types of the arguments).
- Type-checking assertions when applying some defensive programming on
an interface.
- Generally any other situation one might encounter in a dynamically
typed language that might need some introspection.
If you're more familiar with Python, it would be quite similar to being
unable to refer to the classes exported from the GDB module (which is to
say: not crippling for the most part, but makes certain tasks more
difficult than necessary).
This commit makes a small change to GDB's smob registration machinery
to make sure registered smobs get exported from the current
module. This will likely cause warnings to the user about conflicting
exports if they load both (gdb) and (oop goops) from a GDB linked
against Guile v2.0, but it shouldn't impact functionality (and seemed
preferable to trying to un-export bindings from (oop goops) if v2.0
was detected).

I found a few .c files that rely on objfiles.h, but that only include
it indirectly, via dwarf2/read.h -> psympriv.h. If that include is
removed (something my new DWARF indexer series does), then the build
will break.
It seemed harmless and correct to add these includes now, making the
eventual series a little smaller.

When reading a .gdb_index that contains a non-empty symbol table with only
empty entries, gdb doesn't recognize it as empty.
Fix this by recognizing that the constant pool is empty, and then setting the

The way that init.c is generated does not allow for an initialization
function to be conditionally defined -- doing so will result in a link

This patch fixes a build problem that arises from such a conditional

[clone .cold] (warning: (Internal error: pc 0x7ff8feb2c21d in read in \
psymtab, but not in symtab.)
) from repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
...
The warning is about the following:
- in find_pc_sect_compunit_symtab we try to find the address
(0x7ff8feb2c218 / 0x7ff8feb2c21d) in the symtabs.
- that fails, so we try again in the partial symtabs.
- we find a matching partial symtab
- however, the partial symtab has a full symtab, so
we should have found a matching symtab in the first step.
The addresses are:
...
(gdb) info sym 0x7ff8feb2c218
__gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() const [clone .cold] in \
section .text of repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
(gdb) info sym 0x7ff8feb2c21d
__gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() const [clone .cold] + 5 in \
section .text of repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
...
which correspond to unrelocated addresses 0x9c218 and 0x9c21d:
...
$ nm -C repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.29 | grep 000000000009c218
000000000009c218 t __gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() const \
[clone .cold]
...
which belong to function __gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() in
/build/gcc/src/gcc/libstdc++-v3/src/c++11/debug.cc.
The partial symtab that is found for the addresses is instead the one for
/build/gcc/src/gcc/libstdc++-v3/src/c++98/bitmap_allocator.cc, which is
incorrect.
This happens as follows.
The bitmap_allocator.cc CU has DW_AT_ranges at .debug_rnglist offset 0x4b50:
...
00004b50 0000000000000000 0000000000000056
00004b5a 00000000000a4790 00000000000a479c
00004b64 00000000000a47a0 00000000000a47ac
...
When reading the first range 0x0..0x56, it doesn't trigger the "start address
of zero" complaint here:
...
/* A not-uncommon case of bad debug info.
Don't pollute the addrmap with bad data. */
if (range_beginning + baseaddr == 0
&& !per_objfile->per_bfd->has_section_at_zero)
{
complaint (_(".debug_rnglists entry has start address of zero"
" [in module %s]"), objfile_name (objfile));
continue;
}
...
because baseaddr != 0, which seems incorrect given that when loading the
shared library individually in gdb (and consequently baseaddr == 0), we do see
the complaint.
Consequently, we run into this case in dwarf2_get_pc_bounds:
...
if (low == 0 && !per_objfile->per_bfd->has_section_at_zero)
return PC_BOUNDS_INVALID;
...
which then results in this code in process_psymtab_comp_unit_reader being
called with cu_bounds_kind == PC_BOUNDS_INVALID, which sets the set_addrmap
argument to 1:
...
scan_partial_symbols (first_die, &lowpc, &highpc,
cu_bounds_kind <= PC_BOUNDS_INVALID, cu);
...
and consequently, the CU addrmap gets build using address info from the
functions.
During that process, addrmap_set_empty is called with a range that includes
0x9c218 and 0x9c21d:
...
(gdb) p /x start
$7 = 0x9989c
(gdb) p /x end_inclusive
$8 = 0xb200d
...
but it's called for a function at DIE 0x54153 with DW_AT_ranges at 0x40ae:
...
000040ae 00000000000b1ee0 00000000000b200e
000040b9 000000000009989c 00000000000998c4
000040c3 <End of list>
...
and neither range includes 0x9c218 and 0x9c21d.
This is caused by this code in partial_die_info::read:
...
if (dwarf2_ranges_read (ranges_offset, &lowpc, &highpc, cu,
nullptr, tag))
has_pc_info = 1;
...
which pretends that the function is located at addresses 0x9989c..0xb200d,
which is indeed not the case.
This patch fixes the first problem encountered: fix the "start address of
zero" complaint warning by removing the baseaddr part from the condition.
Same for dwarf2_ranges_process.
The effect is that:
- the complaint is triggered, and
- the warning / Internal error is no longer triggered.
This does not fix the observed problem in partial_die_info::read, which is
filed as PR28200.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

When we encounter a .TOC. symbol in the object we are loading,
we need to associate this with the .toc section in order to
properly resolve other symbols in the object. IF a .toc section
is not found, iterate the sections until we find one with the
SEC_ALLOC flag. If that also fails, fall back to using
the *ABS* section, pointed to by bfd_abs_section_ptr.

test_command_line_attach_run
When running this test with the native-extended-gdbserver, we get:
main () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/attach.c:19
19 while (! should_exit)
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) PASS: gdb.base/attach.exp: cmdline attach run: run to prompt
y
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/attach.exp: cmdline attach run: run to main
This test tests using both "-p <pid>" and "-ex start" on the command line,
making sure that we first attach and then run.
Normally, after that "y", we should see the program running again.
However, a particuliarity of the native-extended-gdbserver is that it
uses "set auto-connect-native-target off" on the command line. The full
GDB command line is:
./gdb -nw -nx -data-directory /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/../data-directory \
-iex set height 0 -iex set width 0 -ex set auto-connect-native-target off \
-ex set sysroot -quiet -iex set height 0 -iex set width 0 --pid=536609 -ex start
The attach succeeds. I guess it is done before "set
auto-connect-native-target off", or it somehow bypasses it. When the
"start" is executed, the native target is unpushed, while killing the
existing process, but not re-pushed, due to "set
auto-connect-native-target off". So we get that "Don't know how to run"
message.
Really, I think it's a case of the test doing things incompatible with
the board, I think it should just be skipped. And as we can see with
the current code, there were some attempts at doing this, just using the
wrong checks:
- isnative: this is a dejagnu proc which checks if the target board has
the same triplet as the build machine. In the case of
native-extended-gdbserver, it does.
- is_remote target: this checks whether the target board is remote, as
in executing on a different machin. native-extended-gdbserver is not
remote.
Since the --pid option specifically attaches to a process using the
native target, change the test to use gdb_is_target_native instead.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/attach.exp (test_command_line_attach_run): Use
gdb_is_target_native to check if test is supported.

There are cases where the result of the expression evaluation is
expected to be in a form of a value and not location description.
One place that has this requirement is dwarf_entry_parameter_to_value
function, but more are expected in the future. Until now, this
requirement was fulfilled by extending the evaluated expression with
a DW_OP_stack_value operation at the end.
New implementation, introduces a new evaluation argument instead.

Idea of this patch is to get a clean and simple public interface for
the dwarf_expr_context class, looking like:
- constructor,
- destructor,
- push_address method and
- evaluate method.
Where constructor should only ever require a target architecture
information. This information is held in per object file
(dwarf2_per_objfile) structure, so it makes sense to keep that
structure as a constructor argument. It also makes sense to get the
address size from that structure, but unfortunately that interface
doesn't exist at the moment, so the dwarf_expr_context class user
needs to provide that information.
The push_address method is used to push a CORE_ADDR as a value on
top of the DWARF stack before the evaluation. This method can be
later changed to push any struct value object on the stack.
The evaluate method is the method that evaluates a DWARF expression
and provides the evaluation result, in a form of a single struct
value object that describes a location. To do this, the method requires
a context of the evaluation, as well as expected result type
information. If the type information is not provided, the DWARF generic
type will be used instead.
To avoid storing the gdbarch information in the evaluator object, that
information is now always acquired from the per_objfile object.
All data members are now private and only visible to the evaluator
class, so a m_ prefix was added to all of their names to reflect that.
To make this distinction clear, they are also accessed through objects
this pointer, wherever that was not the case before.

Following 5 patches series is trying to clean up the interface of the
DWARF expression evaluator class (dwarf_expr_context).
After merging all expression evaluators into one class, the next
logical step is to make a clean user interface for that class. To do
that, we first need to address the issue of class users writing and
reading the internal data of the class directly.
Fixing the case of writing is simple, it makes sense for an evaluator
instance to be per architecture basis. Currently, the best separation
seems to be per object file, so having that data (dwarf2_per_objfile)
as a constructor argument makes sense. It also makes sense to get the
address size from that object file, but unfortunately that interface
does not exist at the moment.
Luckily, address size information is already available to the users
through other means. As a result, the address size also needs to be a
class constructor argument, at least until a better interface for
acquiring that information from an object file is implemented.
The rest of the user written data comes down to a context of an
evaluated expression (compilation unit context, frame context and
passed in buffer context) and a source type information that a result
of evaluating expression is representing. So, it makes sense for all of
these to be arguments of an evaluation method.
To address the problem of reading the dwarf_expr_context class
internal data, we first need to understand why it is implemented that
way?
This is actualy a question of which existing class can be used to
represent both values and a location descriptions and why it is not
used currently?
The answer is in a struct value class/structure, but the problem is
that before the evaluators were merged, only one evaluator had an
infrastructure to resolve composite and implicit pointer location
descriptions.
After the merge, we are now able to use the struct value to represent
any result of the expression evaluation. It also makes sense to move
all infrastructure for those location descriptions to the expr.c file
considering that that is the only place using that infrastructure.
What we are left with in the end is a clean public interface of the
dwarf_expr_context class containing:
- constructor,
- destructor,
- push_address method and
- eval_exp method.
The idea with this particular patch is to move piece_closure structure
and the interface that handles it (lval_funcs) to expr.c file.
While implicit pointer location descriptions are still not useful in
the CFI context (of the AMD's DWARF standard extensions), the composite
location descriptions are certainly necessary to describe a results of
specific compiler optimizations.
Considering that a piece_closure structure is used to represent both,
there was no benefit in splitting them.

The evaluate_for_locexpr_baton is the last derived class from the
dwarf_expr_context class. It's purpose is to support the passed in
buffer functionality.
Although, it is not really necessary to merge this class with it's
base class, doing that simplifies new expression evaluator design.
Considering that this functionality is going around the DWARF standard,
it is also reasonable to expect that with a new evaluator design and
extending the push object address functionality to accept any location
description, there will be no need to support passed in buffers.
Alternatively, it would also makes sense to abstract the interaction
between the evaluator and a given resource in the near future. The
passed in buffer would then be a specialization of that abstraction.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/expr.c (dwarf_expr_context::read_mem): Merge with
evaluate_for_locexpr_baton implementation.
* dwarf2/loc.c (class evaluate_for_locexpr_baton): Remove
class.
(evaluate_for_locexpr_baton::read_mem): Move to
dwarf_expr_context.
(dwarf2_locexpr_baton_eval): Instantiate dwarf_expr_context
instead of evaluate_for_locexpr_baton class.
|

There are no virtual methods that require different specialization in
dwarf_expr_context class. This means that derived classes
dwarf_expr_executor and dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc are not needed any
more.
As a result of this, the evaluate_for_locexpr_baton class base class
is now the dwarf_expr_context class.
There might be a need for a better class hierarchy when we know more
about the direction of the future DWARF versions and gdb extensions,
but that is out of the scope of this patch series.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/frame.c (class dwarf_expr_executor): Remove class.

dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc class.

instead of dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc class.
(struct evaluate_for_locexpr_baton): Derive from
dwarf_expr_context.

This patch moves the compilation unit context information and support
from dwarf_expr_executor and dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc to
dwarf_expr_context evaluator. The idea is to report an error when a
given operation requires a compilation unit information to be resolved,
which is not available.
With this change, it also makes sense to always acquire ref_addr_size
information from the compilation unit context, considering that all
DWARF operations that refer to that information require a compilation
unit context to be present during their evaluation.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/expr.c (ensure_have_per_cu): New function.

context information.

information to dwarf_expr_context class.

Following the idea of merging the evaluators, the get_frame_cfa method
can be moved from dwarf_expr_executor and dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc
classes to their base class dwarf_expr_context. Once this is done,
it becomes apparent that the method is only called once and it can be
inlined.
It is also necessary to check if the frame context information was
provided before the DW_OP_call_frame_cfa operation is executed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/expr.c (dwarf_expr_context::get_frame_cfa): Remove
method.
(dwarf_expr_context::execute_stack_op): Call frame context info
check for DW_OP_call_frame_cfa. Remove use of get_frame_cfa.

Following 15 patches in this patch series is cleaning up the design of
the DWARF expression evaluator (dwarf_expr_context) to make future
extensions of that evaluator easier and cleaner to implement.
There are three subclasses of the dwarf_expr_context class
(dwarf_expr_executor, dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc and
evaluate_for_locexpr_baton). Here is a short description of each class:
- dwarf_expr_executor is evaluating a DWARF expression in a context
of a Call Frame Information. The overridden methods of this subclass
report an error if a specific DWARF operation, represented by that
method, is not allowed in a CFI context. The source code of this
subclass lacks the support for composite as well as implicit pointer
location description.
- dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc can evaluate any expression with no
restrictions. All of the methods that this subclass overrides are
actually doing what they are intended to do. This subclass contains
a full support for all location description types.
- evaluate_for_locexpr_baton subclass is a specialization of the
dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc subclass and it's function is to add
support for passed in buffers. This seems to be a way to go around
the fact that DWARF standard lacks a bit offset support for memory
location descriptions as well as using any location description for
the push object address functionality.
It all comes down to this question: what is a function of a DWARF
expression evaluator?
Is it to evaluate the expression in a given context or to check the
correctness of that expression in that context?
Currently, the only reason why there is a dwarf_expr_executor subclass
is to report an invalid DWARF expression in a context of a CFI, but is
that what the evaluator is supposed to do considering that the evaluator
is not tied to a given DWARF version?
There are more and more vendor and GNU extensions that are not part of
the DWARF standard, so is it that impossible to expect that some of the
extensions could actually lift the previously imposed restrictions of
the CFI context? Not to mention that every new DWARF version is lifting
some restrictions anyway.
The thing that makes more sense for an evaluator to do, is to take the
context of an evaluation and checks the requirements of every operation
evaluated against that context. With this approach, the evaluator would
report an error only if parts of the context, necessary for the
evaluation, are missing.
If this approach is taken, then the unification of the
dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc, dwarf_expr_executor and dwarf_expr_context
is the next logical step. This makes a design of the DWARF expression
evaluator cleaner and allows more flexibility when supporting future
vendor and GNU extensions.
Additional benefit here is that now all evaluators have access to all
location description types, which means that a vendor extended CFI
rules could support composite location description as well. This also
means that a new evaluator interface can be changed to return a single
struct value (that describes the result of the evaluation) instead of
a caller poking around the dwarf_expr_context internal data for answers
(like it is done currently).
This patch starts the merging process by moving the frame context
information and support from dwarf_expr_executor and
dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc to dwarf_expr_context evaluator. The idea
is to report an error when a given operation requires a frame
information to be resolved, if that information is not present.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/expr.c (ensure_have_frame): New function.

This patch addresses a design problem with the symbol_needs_eval_context
class. It exposes the problem by introducing two new testsuite test
cases.
To explain the issue, I first need to explain the dwarf_expr_context
class that the symbol_needs_eval_context class derives from.
The intention behind the dwarf_expr_context class is to commonize the
DWARF expression evaluation mechanism for different evaluation
contexts. Currently in gdb, the evaluation context can contain some or
all of the following information: architecture, object file, frame and
compilation unit.
Depending on the information needed to evaluate a given expression,
there are currently three distinct DWARF expression evaluators:
- Frame: designed to evaluate an expression in the context of a call
frame information (dwarf_expr_executor class). This evaluator doesn't
need a compilation unit information.
- Location description: designed to evaluate an expression in the
context of a source level information (dwarf_evaluate_loc_desc
class). This evaluator expects all information needed for the
evaluation of the given expression to be present.
- Symbol needs: designed to answer a question about the parts of the
context information required to evaluate a DWARF expression behind a
given symbol (symbol_needs_eval_context class). This evaluator
doesn't need a frame information.
The functional difference between the symbol needs evaluator and the
others is that this evaluator is not meant to interact with the actual
target. Instead, it is supposed to check which parts of the context
information are needed for the given DWARF expression to be evaluated by
the location description evaluator.
The idea is to take advantage of the existing dwarf_expr_context
evaluation mechanism and to fake all required interactions with the
actual target, by returning back dummy values. The evaluation result is
returned as one of three possible values, based on operations found in a
given expression:
- SYMBOL_NEEDS_NONE,
- SYMBOL_NEEDS_REGISTERS and
- SYMBOL_NEEDS_FRAME.
The problem here is that faking results of target interactions can yield
an incorrect evaluation result.
For example, if we have a conditional DWARF expression, where the
condition depends on a value read from an actual target, and the true
branch of the condition requires a frame information to be evaluated,
while the false branch doesn't, fake target reads could conclude that a
frame information is not needed, where in fact it is. This wrong
information would then cause the expression to be actually evaluated (by
the location description evaluator) with a missing frame information.
This would then crash the debugger.
The gdb.dwarf2/symbol_needs_eval_fail.exp test introduces this
scenario, with the following DWARF expression:
DW_OP_addr $some_variable
DW_OP_deref
# conditional jump to DW_OP_bregx
DW_OP_bra 4
DW_OP_lit0
# jump to DW_OP_stack_value
DW_OP_skip 3
DW_OP_bregx $dwarf_regnum 0
DW_OP_stack_value
This expression describes a case where some variable dictates the
location of another variable. Depending on a value of some_variable, the
variable whose location is described by this expression is either read
from a register or it is defined as a constant value 0. In both cases,
the value will be returned as an implicit location description on the
DWARF stack.
Currently, when the symbol needs evaluator fakes a memory read from the
address behind the some_variable variable, the constant value 0 is used
as the value of the variable A, and the check returns the
SYMBOL_NEEDS_NONE result.
This is clearly a wrong result and it causes the debugger to crash.
The scenario might sound strange to some people, but it comes from a
SIMD/SIMT architecture where $some_variable is an execution mask. In
any case, it is a valid DWARF expression, and GDB shouldn't crash while
evaluating it. Also, a similar example could be made based on a
condition of the frame base value, where if that value is concluded to
be 0, the variable location could be defaulted to a TLS based memory
address.
The gdb.dwarf2/symbol_needs_eval_timeout.exp test introduces a second
scenario. This scenario is a bit more abstract due to the DWARF
assembler lacking the CFI support, but it exposes a different
manifestation of the same problem. Like in the previous scenario, the
DWARF expression used in the test is valid:
DW_OP_lit1
DW_OP_addr $some_variable
DW_OP_deref
# jump to DW_OP_fbreg
DW_OP_skip 4
DW_OP_drop
DW_OP_fbreg 0
DW_OP_dup
DW_OP_lit0
DW_OP_eq
# conditional jump to DW_OP_drop
DW_OP_bra -9
DW_OP_stack_value
Similarly to the previous scenario, the location of a variable A is an
implicit location description with a constant value that depends on a
value held by a global variable. The difference from the previous case
is that DWARF expression contains a loop instead of just one branch. The
end condition of that loop depends on the expectation that a frame base
value is never zero. Currently, the act of faking the target reads will
cause the symbol needs evaluator to get stuck in an infinite loop.
Somebody could argue that we could change the fake reads to return
something else, but that would only hide the real problem.
The general impression seems to be that the desired design is to have
one class that deals with parsing of the DWARF expression, while there
are virtual methods that deal with specifics of some operations.
Using an evaluator mechanism here doesn't seem to be correct, because
the act of evaluation relies on accessing the data from the actual
target with the possibility of skipping the evaluation of some parts of
the expression.
To better explain the proposed solution for the issue, I first need to
explain a couple more details behind the current design:
There are multiple places in gdb that handle DWARF expression parsing
for different purposes. Some are in charge of converting the expression
to some other internal representation (decode_location_expression,
disassemble_dwarf_expression and dwarf2_compile_expr_to_ax), some are
analysing the expression for specific information
(compute_stack_depth_worker) and some are in charge of evaluating the
expression in a given context (dwarf_expr_context::execute_stack_op
and decode_locdesc).
The problem is that all those functions have a similar (large) switch
statement that handles each DWARF expression operation. The result of
this is a code duplication and harder maintenance.
As a step into the right direction to solve this problem (at least for
the purpose of a DWARF expression evaluation) the expression parsing was
commonized inside of an evaluator base class (dwarf_expr_context). This
makes sense for all derived classes, except for the symbol needs
evaluator (symbol_needs_eval_context) class.
As described previously the problem with this evaluator is that if the
evaluator is not allowed to access the actual target, it is not really
evaluating.
Instead, the desired function of a symbol needs evaluator seems to fall
more into expression analysis category. This means that a more natural
fit for this evaluator is to be a symbol needs analysis, similar to the
existing compute_stack_depth_worker analysis.
Another problem is that using a heavyweight mechanism of an evaluator
to do an expression analysis seems to be an unneeded overhead. It also
requires a more complicated design of the parent class to support fake
target reads.
The reality is that the whole symbol_needs_eval_context class can be
replaced with a lightweight recursive analysis function, that will give
more correct result without compromising the design of the
dwarf_expr_context class. The analysis treats the expression byte
stream as a DWARF operation graph, where each graph node can be
visited only once and each operation can decide if the frame context
is needed for their evaluation.
The downside of this approach is adding of one more similar switch
statement, but at least this way the new symbol needs analysis will be
a lightweight mechnism and it will provide a correct result for any
given DWARF expression.
A more desired long term design would be to have one class that deals
with parsing of the DWARF expression, while there would be a virtual
methods that deal with specifics of some DWARF operations. Then that
class would be used as a base for all DWARF expression parsing mentioned
at the beginning.
This however, requires a far bigger changes that are out of the scope
of this patch series.
The new analysis requires the DWARF location description for the
argc argument of the main function to change in the assembly file
gdb.python/amd64-py-framefilter-invalidarg.S. Originally, expression
ended with a 0 value byte, which was never reached by the symbol needs
evaluator, because it was detecting a stack underflow when evaluating
the operation before. The new approach does not simulate a DWARF
stack anymore, so the 0 value byte needs to be removed because it
makes the DWARF expression invalid.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/loc.c (class symbol_needs_eval_context): Remove.
(dwarf2_get_symbol_read_needs): New function.
(dwarf2_loc_desc_get_symbol_read_needs): Remove.
(locexpr_get_symbol_read_needs): Use
dwarf2_get_symbol_read_needs.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/amd64-py-framefilter-invalidarg.S : Update argc
DWARF location expression.
* lib/dwarf.exp (_location): Handle DW_OP_fbreg.
* gdb.dwarf2/symbol_needs_eval.c: New file.
* gdb.dwarf2/symbol_needs_eval_fail.exp: New file.
* gdb.dwarf2/symbol_needs_eval_timeout.exp: New file.
