In glibc, the r_debug structure contains (amongst others) the following
fields:
int r_version:
Version number for this protocol. It should be greater than 0.
If r_version is 2, struct r_debug is extended to struct r_debug_extended
with one additional field:
struct r_debug_extended *r_next;
Link to the next r_debug_extended structure. Each r_debug_extended
structure represents a different namespace. The first r_debug_extended
structure is for the default namespace.
1. Change solib_svr4_r_map argument to take the debug base.
2. Add solib_svr4_r_next to find the link map in the next namespace from
the r_next field.
3. Update svr4_current_sos_direct to get the link map in the next namespace
from the r_next field.
4. Don't check shared libraries in other namespaces when updating shared
libraries in a new namespace.
5. Update svr4_same to check the load offset in addition to the name
6. Update svr4_default_sos to also set l_addr_inferior
7. Change the flat solib_list into a per-namespace list using the
namespace's r_debug address to identify the namespace.
Add gdb.base/dlmopen.exp to test this.
To remain backwards compatible with older gdbserver, we reserve the
namespace zero for a flat list of solibs from all namespaces. Subsequent
patches will extend RSP to allow listing libraries grouped by namespace.
This fixes PR 11839.

I noticed one particular Ada test was failing on Fedora 34, but works
when I switch to GCC 12. This patch arranges to kfail the test when
an older compiler is used.
I tested this with GCC 11, 12, and 13. I'm going to check it in.

The problem originates in find_program_interpreter, where
bfd_get_section_contents is called to read .interp, but fails. The function
returns false but the result is ignored, so find_program_interpreter returns
some random string.
Fix this by checking the result of the call to bfd_get_section_contents.

local-remote-host.exp
With test-case gdb.server/unittest.exp and host board local-remote-host.exp I
run into:

The problem is (as fixed for avr in commit df5b8876083 ("gdb/testsuite: better

remote_expect adds a "-i <gdb spawn id> -timeout 10", which is the one causing
the error.

With test-case gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread-multi.exp and host board
local-remote-host-notty.exp we occasionally run into a silent out, due to
getting:
...
(gdb) kill^M
(gdb) The program is not being run.^M
...
instead of the expected:
...
(gdb) kill^M
The program is not being run.^M
(gdb)
...
Likewise, we occasionally run into a nonsilent timeout:
...
(gdb) disconnect^M
(gdb) You can't do that when your target is `exec'^M
FAIL: gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp: to_disable=Tthread: t_nonstop=on: \
disconnect (timeout)
...
Typically, this results in the test-case taking more than two minutes to run.
The problem can be reproduced using just:
...
$ ssh -l $USER 127.0.0.1 gdb -q -ex kill
...
Note that ssh by default uses -T which disables pseudo-tty allocation (as
opposed to -t which forces pseudo-tty allocation):
...
$ ssh -l $USER 127.0.0.1 -T tty
not a tty
$ ssh -l $USER 127.0.0.1 -t tty
/dev/pts/5
Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.
...
and according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/63241102 the behaviour we're
seeing is specific to using '-T'.
The related host board local-remote-host.exp does use '-t', and the only
difference between the two boards mentioned is whether editing is on or off.
Fix this by:
- moving the content of local-remote-host-notty.exp into
local-remote-host.exp
- consequently, extending the copyright years in local-remote-host.exp
- including local-remote-host.exp in local-remote-host-notty.exp
(making local-remote-host-notty.exp use '-t')
- adding -iex "set editing off" to GDBFLAGS in local-remote-host-notty.exp
This results in the test-case taking just 6 seconds to run.

The problem is that styling is enabled, and that is causing a regexp mismatch.
With native, styling is disabled in default_gdb_init by doing
'setenv TERM "dumb"', but that only has effect because the build (where we
execute runtest, and consequently the setenv) and the host (where we execute
gdb) are the same. For this host board however, gdb executes on a remote
host, and the setenv has no effect.
We could try to make some generic way to set TERM on the host, but for the
purposes of this test-case it seems sufficient to just add:
...
set GDBFLAGS "${GDBFLAGS} -iex \"set style enabled off\""
...
so let's go with that for now.

I noticed in gdb.base/skip-solib.exp:
...
if {[gdb_compile_shlib ${srcdir}/${subdir}/${srcfile_lib} ${binfile_lib} \
[list debug -Wl,-soname,${libname}.so]] != ""} {
return -1
}
...
that the -Wl,-soname argument is missing an ldflags= prefix, but adding it
gives us a duplicate:
...
Executing on host: gcc -fno-stack-protector \
outputs/gdb.base/skip-solib/skip-solib-lib.c.o -fdiagnostics-color=never \
-shared -g -Wl,-soname,libskip-solib.so -Wl,-soname,libskip-solib.so -lm \
-o outputs/gdb.base/skip-solib/libskip-solib.so (timeout = 300)
...
so apparently it's taken care of by gdb_compile_shlib.
Drop the inactive and also unnecessary -Wl,-soname,${libname}.so from the
flags list for the gdb_compile_shlib call.

Compilers default to either PIE or no-PIE executables.
In order to test PIE executables with a compiler that produces non-PIE by
default, we can use target board unix/-fPIE/-pie, which set the multilib_flags
of the target board to "-fPIE -pie".
Likewise, we can use target board unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie with a compiler that
produces PIE by default.
The target board unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie has a potential problem when compiling
shared libs, because the multilib_flags will override the attempts of
gdb_compile_shlib to compile with -fPIC. This is taken care of by running the
body of gdb_compile_shlib wrapped in with_PIE_multilib_flags_filtered.
The target board unix/-fPIE/-pie has a problem with nopie compilations. The
current approach is to do the compilation hoping for the best, and if we find
out that the resulting executable is PIE despite specifying nopie, we error
out with the standard error message "nopie failed to prevent PIE executable".
That however does not work for hard-coded assembly nopie test-cases, which will
just noisily refuse to compile:
...
ld: amd64-disp-step0.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text' can not be \
used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE^M
...
Fix this in gdb_compile by filtering out the PIE settings in the target board
multilib_flags when pie or nopie is specified.

Test gdb.base/watchpoint.exp generates 4 test errors on Power 9. The
test uses the test [target_info exists gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints] to
determine if the processor supports hardware watchpoints. The check
only examines the processor type to determine if it supports hardware
watchpoints.
The PowerPC processors support hardware watchpoints with the
exception of Power 9. The hardware watchpoint support is disabled on
Power 9. The test skip_hw_watchpoint_tests must be used to correctly
determine if the PowerPC processor supports hardware watchpoints.
This patch replaces the [target_info exists gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints]
with the skip_hw_watchpoint_tests_p check. With the patch, the test runs
on Power 9 with hardware watchpoint force-disabled. The test runs on
all other PowerPC processors with and without hardware watchpoints
enabled.
The patch has been tested on Power 9 to verify the test only runs with
hardware breakpoints disabled. The patch has been tested on X86-64 with
no regression failures. The test fails on Power 10 due to an internal GDB
error due to resource management. The resource management issue will be
addressed in another patch.

With test-case gdb.dwarf2/macro-source-path.exp and target board unix/-m32, I
run into:
...
as: macro-source-path-gcc11-ld238-dw5-filename-641.o: \
unsupported relocation type: 0x1^M
...
The problem is that we have 64-bit dwarf so the debug_line offset in the
.debug_macro section is an 8-byte entity, emitted using ".8byte":
...
.section .debug_macro
.Lcu_macros4:
.2byte 5 /* version */
.byte 3 /* flags */
.8byte .LLlines3 /* debug_line offset */
...
but the linker doesn't support 8-byte relocation types on a 32-bit architecture.
This is similar to what was fixed in commit a5ac8e7fa3b
("[gdb/testsuite] Fix 64-bit dwarf test-cases with -m32") for for instance
.debug_abbrev.
Fix this in the same way, by using _op_offset to emit the debug_line offset.

With target board unix/-m32 and test-case gdb.mi/mi-disassemble.exp we have:

The test-case passes with native.
With native we see in gdb.log that variable longest_insn_bytes is:
...
Longest instruction at 0x0000000000400549 with bytes '48 8b 05 20 01 00 00'
...
and variable split_bytes (added debug puts) ends up as:
...
SPLIT_BYTES: 48 8b 05 20 01 00 00
...
But with unix/-m32 we have longest_insn_byte:
...
Longest instruction at 0x08048481 with bytes '8d 4c 24 04 '
...
and split_bytes ends up as:
...
SPLIT_BYTES: 8d 4c 24 04 {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {}
...
so the trailing whitespace is translated by split to empty bytes, and the
mismatch FAILs are generated for those.
Fix this by stripping the whitespace, which makes us end up with a different
and indeed longer insn:
...
Longest instruction at 0x08048492 with bytes 'dd 05 98 85 04 08'
...

When running test-case gdb.base/ctf-constvars.exp on openSUSE Tumbleweed (with
system gcc version 12, providing gcc -gctf support, enabling the ctf test-cases
in the gdb testsuite), I run into:
...
(gdb) print vox^M
'vox' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/ctf-constvars.exp: print vox
...
There are two causes for this:
- the linker flags are missing --ctf-variables, so the information for variable
vox is missing (reported in PR29468), and
- the executable contains some dwarf2 due to some linked-in glibc objects,
so the ctf info is ignored (reported in PR29160).
By using:
- -Wl,--ctf-variable,
- -Wl,--strip-debug, and
we can make the test-case and some similar test-cases pass.

I noticed in capture_command_output that the output of a single command is
matched using two gdb_test_multiples:
- the first one matching the echoed command and skipping an optional prefix,
- the second one matching the output and the prompt.
This is error-prone, because the first gdb_test_multiple has implicit
clauses which may consume the prompt.
The problem is easy to spot with an example. First consider:
...
set output [capture_command_output "print 1" "\\\$1 = "]
gdb_assert { [string equal $output "1"] }
...
for which we get:
...
PASS: [string equal $output "1"]
...
If we change the prefix string to a no-match, say "1 = ", and update the
output string match accordingly, we get instead:
...
FAIL: capture_command_output for print 1
FAIL: [string equal $output "\$1 = 1"]
...
The first FAIL is produced by the first gdb_test_multiple, consuming the prompt.
The second gdb_test_multiple then silently times out waiting for another prompt,
after which the second FAIL is produced. Note that the timeout is silent
because the gdb_test_multiple is called with an empty message argument.
The second FAIL is because capture_command_output returns "", given that all
the command output was consumed by the first gdb_test_multiple.
Fix this by rewriting capture_command_output to use only a single
gdb_test_multiple.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

I see some random failures in this test:
FAIL: gdb.base/async-shell.exp: run & (timeout)
It can be reliably reproduced on a recent enough GNU/Linux with this
change:

"recent enough" means a system where libpthread.so was merged with
libc.so, so at least glibc 2.34.
The problem is that the `run &` command prints some things after the
prompt:
(gdb) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/../lib/libthread_db.so.1".
If expect is quick enough, it will consume only up to the prompt. But
if it is slow enough, it will consume those messages at the same time as
the prompt, in which case the gdb_test used for "run &" won't match. By
default, the prompt used by gdb_test uses a `$` to anchor the match at
the end of the buffer. If there's anything following the prompt, it
won't match.
The diff above adds a delay between sending the command and consuming
the output, giving GDB more time to output the messages, giving a good
chance that expect consumes them at the same time as the prompt.
This is normally handled by using gdb_test_multiple and specifying a
pattern that ends with "$gdb_prompt", but not a trailing $. I think
this is common enough that it deserves its own gdb_test option.
Therefore, add the -no-anchor-prompt option to gdb_test, and
gdb_test_no_output for completeness. Use it in
gdb.base/async-shell.exp.

print_wchar keeps track of when escape sequences are emitted, to force
an escape sequence if needed by a subsequent character. For example
for the string concatenation "\0" "1", gdb will print "\000\061" --
because printing "\0001" might be confusing.
However, this code has two errors. First, this logic is not needed
for octal escapes, because there is a length limit of 3 for octal
escapes, and gdb always prints these with "%.3o". Second, though,
this *is* needed for hex escapes, because those do not have a length
limit.
This patch fixes these problems and adds the appropriate tests.

This commit updates target_buffer (in gdb_bfd.c) to be more C++ like,
and, at the same time, adds the base address of the symfile into the
BFD filename.
Right now, every in-memory BFD is given the filename "<in-memory>".
This filename is visible in things like 'maint info symtabs' and
'maint info line-table'. If there are multiple in-memory BFD objects
then it can be hard to match keep track if which BFD is which. This
commit changes the name to be "<in-memory@ADDRESS>" where ADDRESS is
replaced with the base address for where the in-memory symbol file was
read from.
As an example of how this is useful, here's the output of 'maint info
jit' showing a single loaded JIT symfile:
(gdb) maintenance info jit
jit_code_entry address symfile address symfile size
0x00000000004056b0 0x0000000007000000 17320
And here's part of the output from 'maint info symtabs':
(gdb) maintenance info symtabs
...snip...

}
I've added a new test that checks the new in-memory file names are
generated correctly, and also checks that the in-memory JIT files can
be dumped back out using 'dump binary memory'.

Currently, despite having a smart pointer for frame_infos, GDB may
attempt to use an invalidated frame_info_ptr, which would cause internal
errors to happen. One such example has been documented as PR
python/28856, that happened when printing frame arguments calls an
inferior function.
To avoid failures, the smart wrapper was changed to also cache the frame
id, so the pointer can be reinflated later. For this to work, the
frame-id stuff had to be moved to their own .h file, which is included
by frame-info.h.
Frame_id caching is done explicitly using the prepare_reinflate method.
Caching is done manually so that only the pointers that need to be saved
will be, and reinflating has to be done manually using the reinflate
method because the get method and the -> operator must not change
the internals of the class. Finally, attempting to reinflate when the
pointer is being invalidated causes the following assertion errors:
check_ptrace_stopped_lwp_gone: assertion `lp->stopped` failed.
get_frame_pc: Assertion `frame->next != NULL` failed.
As for performance concerns, my personal testing with `time make
chec-perf GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=run` showed an actual reduction of around
10% of time running.
This commit also adds a testcase that exercises the python/28856 bug with
7 different triggers, run, continue, step, backtrace, finish, up and down.
Some of them can seem to be testing the same thing twice, but since this
test relies on stale pointers, there is always a chance that GDB got lucky
when testing, so better to test extra.
Regression tested on x86_64, using both gcc and clang.

Within the testsuite, use the keyword 'end' to terminate blocks of
Python code being sent to GDB, rather than sending \004. I could only
find three instances of this, all in tests that I originally wrote. I
have no memory of there being any special reason why I used \004
instead of 'end' - I assume I copied this from somewhere else that has
since changed.
Non of the tests being changed here are specifically about whether
\004 can be used to terminate a Python block, so I think switching to
the more standard 'end' keyword is the right choice.

With native and target boards native-gdbserver, remote-gdbserver-on-localhost and
remote-stdio-gdbserver I have for gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp:
...
# of expected passes 8
...
but with native-extended-gdbserver I have instead:
...
# of expected passes 8
# of unexpected failures 4
...
The extra FAILs are of the form:
...
(gdb) detach^M
Detaching from pid process 28985^M
[Inferior 1 (process 28985) detached]^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp: sysroot=: \
action=permission: connection to GDBserver succeeded
...
and are due to the fact that the actual gdb output doesn't match the regexp:
...
gdb_test "detach" \
".*Detaching from program: , process.*Ending remote debugging.*" \
"connection to GDBserver succeeded"
...
With native, the actual gdb output is:
...
(gdb) detach^M
Detaching from pid process 29657^M
Ending remote debugging.^M
[Inferior 1 (process 29657) detached]^M
(gdb) Remote debugging from host ::1, port 51028^M
...
and because the regexp doesn't match, it triggers an implicit clause for
"Ending remote debugging" in gdb_test_multiple, which has the consequence
that the FAIL is silent.
Fix:
- the regexp by making it less strict
- the silent fail by rewriting into a gdb_test_multiple, and adding an
explicit fail clause.

The regex for this test accounts for different situations (with /

implementation under test, we are under start_thread.
Update the regex to accept start_thread.

When running test-case gdb.server/abspath.exp with host board
local-remote-host-notty, I get:
...
$ git sti
...
deleted: gdb/testsuite/gdb.xml/trivial.xml
...
This happens as follows. The test-case calls skip_gdbserver_test, which calls
gdb_skip_xml_test, which does:
...
set xml_file [gdb_remote_download host "${srcdir}/gdb.xml/trivial.xml"]
...
Then proc gdb_remote_download appends $xml_file (which for this particular
host board happens to be ${srcdir}/gdb.xml/trivial.xml) to cleanfiles, which
ends up being handled in gdb_finish by:
...
eval remote_file target delete $cleanfiles
...
The problem is that a host file is deleted using target delete.
Fix this by splitting cleanfiles up in cleanfiles_target and cleanfiles_host.

With target board remote-gdbserver-on-localhost and gdb.arch/i386-mpx-call.exp
I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-mpx-call.exp: upper_bnd0: continue to a bnd violation
...
This is due to the have_mpx test which should return 0, but instead returns 1
because the captured output:

No MPX support
No MPX support
...
does not match the used regexp:
...
set status [expr ($status == 0) \

which does match the captured output with native:
...
No MPX support^M
No MPX support^M

registers
The aarch64 port handles W registers as aliases of X registers. This is
incorrect because X registers are 64-bit and W registers are 32-bit.
This patch teaches GDB how to handle W registers as pseudo-registers of
32-bit, the bottom half of the X registers.
Testcase included.

When a class inherits from a typedef'd baseclass, GDB may be unable to
find the baseclass if the user is not using the typedef'd name, as is
tested on gdb.cp/virtbase2.exp; the reason that test case is working
under gcc is that the dwarf generated by gcc links the class to the
original definition of the baseclass, not to the typedef. If the
inheritance is linked to the typedef, such as how clang does it,
gdb.cp/virtbase2.exp starts failing.
This can also be seen in gdb.cp/impl-this.exp, when attempting to print
D::Bint::i, and GDB not being able to find the baseclass Bint.
This happens because searching for baseclasses only uses the macro
TYPE_BASECLASS_NAME, which returns the typedef'd name. However, we can't
switch that macro to checking for typedefs, otherwise we wouldn't be
able to find the typedef'd name anymore. This is fixed by searching for
members or baseclasses by name, we check both the saved name and the
name after checking for typedefs.
This also fixes said long-standing bug in gdb.cp/impl-this.exp when the
compiler adds information about typedefs in the debuginfo.

In next-fork-other-thread.c, there's this loop:
...
do
{
ret = waitpid (pid, &stat, 0);
} while (ret == EINTR);
...
The loop condition tests for "ret == EINTR" but waitpid signals EINTR by
returning -1 and setting errno to EINTR.
Fix this by changing the loop condition to "ret == -1 && errno == EINTR".

I ran some tests like:
$ make check-gdb TESTS="gdb.base/break.exp"
then, then I went to rerun the tests later, I managed to corrupt the
command line, like this:
$ make check-gdb TESTS="gdb.base/breakff.exp"
the make command did exit with an error, but DejaGnu appeared to
report that every test passed! The tail end of the output looks like
this:
Illegal Argument "no-matching-tests-found"
try "runtest --help" for option list
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 115
/tmp/build/gdb/gdb version 13.0.50.20220831-git -nw -nx -iex "set height 0" -iex "set width 0" -data-directory /tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/../data-directory

make[1]: *** [Makefile:1916: check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/gdb'
make: *** [Makefile:13565: check-gdb] Error 2
For a while, I didn't spot that DejaGnu had failed at all, I saw the
115 passes, and thought everything had run correctly - though I was
puzzled that make was reporting an error.
What happens is that in gdb/testsuite/Makefile, in the check-single
rule, we first run DejaGnu, then run the dg-add-core-file-count.sh
script, and finally, we use sed to extract the results from the
gdb.sum file.
In my case, with the invalid test name, DejaGnu fails, but the
following steps are still run, the final result, the 115 passes, is
then extracted from the pre-existing gdb.sum file.
If I use 'make -jN' then the 'check-parallel' rule, rather than the
'check-single' rule is used. In this case the behaviour is slightly
different, the tail end of the output now looks like this:
No matching tests found.
make[4]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/gdb/testsuite'

variants in the files for <tool>.

mode the exact order of lines may not be preserved, just different
Running *.exp chunks should be in correct order.

make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/gdb/testsuite'
make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/gdb/testsuite'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/gdb'
Rather than DejaGnu failing, we now get a nice 'No matching tests
found' message, followed by some other noise. This other noise is
first `find` failing, followed by the dg-extract-results.py script
failing.
What happens here is that, in the check-parallel rule, the outputs
directory is deleted before DejaGnu is invoked. Then we try to run
all the tests, and finally we use find and dg-extract-results.py to
combine all the separate .sun and .log files together. However, if
there are no tests run then the outputs/ directory is never created,
so the find command and consequently the dg-extract-results.py script,
fail.
This commit aims to fix the following issues:
(1) For check-single and check-parallel rules, don't run any of the
post-processing steps if DejaGnu failed to run. This will avoid all
the noise after the initial failure of DejaGnu,
(2) For check-single ensure that we don't accidentally report
previous results, this is related to the above, but is worth calling
out as a separate point, and
(3) For check-single, print the 'No matching tests found' message
just like we do for a parallel test run. This makes the parallel and
non-parallel testing behaviour more similar, and I think is clearer
than the current 'Illegal Argument' error message.
Points (1) and (2) will be handled by moving the post processing steps
inside an if block within the recipe. For check-single I propose
deleting the gdb.sum and gdb.log files before running DejaGnu, this is
similar (I think) to how we delete the outputs/ directory in the
check-parallel rule.
For point (3) I plan to split the check-single rule in two, the
existing check-single will be renamed do-check-single, then a new
check-single rule will be added. The new check-single rule can either
depend on the new do-check-single, or will ensure the 'No matching
tests found' message is printed when appropriate.

While working on another issue relating to GDB's use of the Python
Pygments package for disassembly styling I noticed an issue in the
case where the Pygments package raises an exception.
The intention of the current code is that, should the Pygments package
raise an exception, GDB will disable future attempts to call into the
Pygments code. This was intended to prevent repeated errors during
disassembly if, for some reason, the Pygments code isn't working.
Since the Pygments based styling was added, GDB now supports
disassembly styling using libopcodes, but this is only available for
some architectures. For architectures not covered by libopcodes
Pygments is still the only option.
What I observed is that, if I disable the libopcodes styling, then
setup GDB so that the Pygments based styling code will indicate an
error (by returning None), GDB does, as expected, stop using the
Pygments based styling. However, the libopcodes based styling will
instead be used, despite this feature having been disabled.
The problem is that the disassembler output is produced into a
string_file buffer. When we are using Pygments, this buffer is
created without styling support. However, when Pygments fails, we
recreate the buffer with styling support.
The problem is that we should only recreate the buffer with styling
support only if libopcodes styling is enabled. This was an oversight
in commit:
commit 4cbe4ca5da5cd7e1e6331ce11f024bf3c07b9744
Date: Mon Feb 14 14:40:52 2022 +0000
gdb: add support for disassembler styling using libopcodes
This commit:
1. Factors out some of the condition checking logic into two new
helper functions use_ext_lang_for_styling and
use_libopcodes_for_styling,
2. Reorders gdb_disassembler::m_buffer and gdb_disassembler::m_dest,
this allows these fields to be initialised m_dest first, which means
that the new condition checking functions can rely on m_dest being
set, even when called from the gdb_disassembler constructor,
3. Make use of the new condition checking functions each time
m_buffer is initialised,
4. Add a new test that forces the Python disassembler styling
function to return None, this will cause GDB to disable use of
Pygments for styling, and
5. When we reinitialise m_buffer, and re-disassemble the
instruction, call reset the in-comment flag. If the instruction
being disassembler ends in a comment then the first disassembly pass
will have set the in-comment flag to true. This shouldn't be a
problem as we will only be using Pygments, and thus performing a
re-disassembly pass, if libopcodes is disabled, so the in-comment
flag will never be checked, even if it is set incorrectly. However,
I think that having the flag set correctly is a good thing, even if
we don't check it (you never know what future uses might come up).
