Introduce OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE
The previous patch left GDB with an inconsistency. While with normal expression evaluation the "unknown return type" error shows the name of the function that misses debug info: (gdb) p getenv ("PATH") 'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type ^^^^^^ which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not: (gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH") function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type ^^^^^^^^ This commit is a step toward fixing it. The problem is that while evaluating the expression above, we have no reference to the minimal symbol where we could extract the name from. This is because the resulting expression tree has no reference to the minsym at all. During parsing, the type and address of the minsym are extracted and an UNOP_MEMVAL / UNOP_MEMVAL_TLS operator is generated (see write_exp_elt_msym). With "set debug expression", here's what you see: 0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0 3 UNOP_MEMVAL Type @0x565334a51930 (<text variable, no debug info>) 6 OP_LONG Type @0x565334a51c60 (__CORE_ADDR), value 140737345035648 (0x7ffff7751d80) The "print" case finds the function name, because call_function_by_hand looks up the function by address again. However, for "ptype", we don't reach that code, because obviously we don't really call the function. Unlike minsym references, references to variables with debug info have a pointer to the variable's symbol in the expression tree, with OP_VAR_VALUE: (gdb) ptype main() ... 0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0 3 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x0, symbol @0x559bbbd9b358 (main(int, char**)) ... so I don't see why do minsyms need to be different. So to prepare for fixing the missing function name issue, this commit adds a new OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE operator that mimics OP_VAR_VALUE, except that it's for minsyms instead of debug symbols. For infcalls, we now get expressions like these: 0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0 3 OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE Objfile @0x1e41bf0, msymbol @0x7fffe599b000 (getenv) In the following patch, we'll make OP_FUNCALL extract the function name from the symbol stored in OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE. OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE will be used more in a later patch in the series too. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Handle OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE. * ax-gdb.c (gen_msym_var_ref): New function.
