PR rust/20162 - fix gdb regressions caused by rust 1.10
PR rust/20162 started life as a reminder to test gdb with versions of rust after 1.8; but now concerns some gdb regressions seen with rust 1.10 ("beta") and 1.11 ("nightly"). The failures turn out to be a discrepancy between how rustc emits DWARF and how gdb interprets it. In particular, rustc will emit DWARF like: <2><bc>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_structure_type) <bd> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x46a): HasMethods <c1> DW_AT_byte_size : 4 ... <3><cc>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subprogram) ... <df> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x514f): new gdb wants to see a separate top-level DW_TAG_subprogram that refers to this one via DW_AT_specification; but rustc doesn't emit one. By my reading of DWARF 4 5.5.7, this is ok, and gdb is incorrect here. Fixing this involved a new case in scan_partial_symbols, and then a further change in process_structure_scope to account for the fact that, in Rust, such functions are not methods and should not be attached to the structure type. Next, it turns out that rust is emitting bad values for DW_AT_linkage_name, e.g.: <db> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x422): _ZN7methods8{{impl}}3newE The the "{{impl}}" stuff is apparently some side effect of a change to the compiler's internal representation. Oops! This also had a simple fix -- disregard these mangled names. With these changes, there are no regressions in the gdb Rust tests with either 1.10 or 1.11. 1.9, the stable release, is still pretty broken, but I think there's nothing much to do about that. These changes are a bit hackish, but no worse, I think, than other kinds of quirk handling already done in the DWARF parser. I have reported all the rustc bugs upstream. I plan to remove these hacks from gdb some suitable time after they have been fixed in released versions of Rust. 2016-07-22 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR rust/20162: * dwarf2read.c (scan_partial_symbols) <DW_TAG_structure_type>: Call scan_partial_symbols for children when reading a Rust CU. (dwarf2_physname): Ignore invalid DW_AT_linkage_name generated by rustc. (process_structure_scope) <DW_TAG_subprogram>: Call read_func_scope for Rust.
