infrun debug output: print enum gdb_signal symbol names instead of POSIX signal names.
The other day while debugging something related to random signals, I got confused with "set debug infrun 1" output, for it said: infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94 infrun: random signal 20 On GNU/Linux, 20 is SIGTSTP. For some reason, it took me a few minutes to realize that 20 is actually a GDB signal number, not a target signal number (duh!). In any case, I propose making GDB's output clearer here: One way would be to use gdb_signal_to_name, like already used elsewhere: infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94 infrun: random signal SIGCHLD (20) but I think that might confuse someone too ("20? Why does GDB believe SIGCHLD is 20?"). So I thought of printing the enum string instead: infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94 infrun: random signal GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD (20) Looking at a more complete infrun debug log, we had actually printed the (POSIX) signal name name a bit before: infrun: target_wait (-1, status) = infrun: 9300 [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 9300)], infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = SIGCHLD ... infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94 infrun: random signal 20 So I'm now thinking that it'd be even better to make infrun output consistently use the enum symbol string, like so: infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0x7ffff7fca700 (LWP 25663)) infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659)) - infrun: proceed (addr=0xffffffffffffffff, signal=144, step=1) + infrun: proceed (addr=0xffffffffffffffff, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT, step=1) - infrun: resume (step=1, signal=0), trap_expected=0, current thread [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659)] at 0x400700 + infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659)] at 0x400700 infrun: wait_for_inferior () infrun: target_wait (-1, status) = infrun: 25659 [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659)], - infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = SIGCHLD + infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD infrun: infwait_normal_state infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x400700 - infrun: random signal 20 + infrun: random signal (GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD) infrun: random signal, keep going - infrun: resume (step=1, signal=20), trap_expected=0, current thread [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659)] at 0x400700 + infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD), trap_expected=0, current thread [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659)] at 0x400700 infrun: prepare_to_wait infrun: target_wait (-1, status) = infrun: 25659 [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659)], - infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = SIGTRAP + infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP infrun: infwait_normal_state infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x400704 infrun: stepi/nexti infrun: stop_stepping GDB's signal numbers are public and hardcoded (see include/gdb/signals.h), so there's really no need to clutter the output with numeric values in some places while others not. Replacing the magic "144" with GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT in "proceed"'s debug output (see above) I think is quite nice. I posit that all this makes it clearer to newcomers that GDB has its own signal numbering (and that there must be some mapping going on). Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17. gdb/ 2013-10-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * common/gdb_signals.h (gdb_signal_to_symbol_string): Declare. * common/signals.c: Include "gdb_assert.h". (signals): New field 'symbol'. (SET): Use the 'symbol' parameter. (gdb_signal_to_symbol_string): New function. * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event) <random signal>: In debug output, print the random signal enum as string in addition to its number. * target/waitstatus.c (target_waitstatus_to_string): Print the signal's enum value as string instead of the (POSIX) signal name.
