Usually a function pointer's representation is simply the address
- of the function. On GNU/Linux on the 64-bit PowerPC however, a
- function pointer is represented by a pointer to a TOC entry. This
- TOC entry contains three words, the first word is the address of
- the function, the second word is the TOC pointer (r2), and the
- third word is the static chain value. Throughout GDB it is
- currently assumed that a function pointer contains the address of
- the function, which is not easy to fix. In addition, the
+ of the function. On GNU/Linux on the PowerPC however, a function
+ pointer may be a pointer to a function descriptor.
+
+ For PPC64, a function descriptor is a TOC entry, in a data section,
+ which contains three words: the first word is the address of the
+ function, the second word is the TOC pointer (r2), and the third word
+ is the static chain value.
+
+ For PPC32, there are two kinds of function pointers: non-secure and
+ secure. Non-secure function pointers point directly to the
+ function in a code section and thus need no translation. Secure
+ ones (from GCC's -msecure-plt option) are in a data section and
+ contain one word: the address of the function.
+
+ Throughout GDB it is currently assumed that a function pointer contains
+ the address of the function, which is not easy to fix. In addition, the
conversion of a function address to a function pointer would
require allocation of a TOC entry in the inferior's memory space,
with all its drawbacks. To be able to call C++ virtual methods in
the inferior (which are called via function pointers),
find_function_addr uses this function to get the function address
- from a function pointer. */
