Implement IPv6 support for GDB/gdbserver
This patch implements IPv6 support for both GDB and gdbserver. Based
on my research, it is the fourth attempt to do that since 2006. Since
I used ideas from all of the previous patches, I also added their
authors's names on the ChangeLogs as a way to recognize their
efforts. For reference sake, you can find the previous attempts at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-09/msg00192.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00248.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00226.html
The basic idea behind the patch is to start using the new
'getaddrinfo'/'getnameinfo' calls, which are responsible for
translating names and addresses in a protocol-independent way. This
means that if we ever have a new version of the IP protocol, we won't
need to change the code again (or, at least, won't have to change the
majority of the code).
The function 'getaddrinfo' returns a linked list of possible addresses
to connect to. Dealing with multiple addresses proved to be a hard
task with the current TCP auto-retry mechanism implemented on
ser-tcp:net_open. For example, when gdbserver listened only on an
IPv4 socket:
$ ./gdbserver --once 127.0.0.1:1234 ./a.out
and GDB was instructed to try to connect to both IPv6 and IPv4
sockets:
$ ./gdb -ex 'target extended-remote localhost:1234' ./a.out
the user would notice a somewhat big delay before GDB was able to
connect to the IPv4 socket. This happened because GDB was trying to
connect to the IPv6 socket first, and had to wait until the connection
timed out before it tried to connect to the IPv4 socket.
For that reason, I had to rewrite the main loop and implement a new
method for handling multiple connections. After some discussion,
Pedro and I agreed on the following algorithm:
1) For each entry returned by 'getaddrinfo', we try to open a socket
and connect to it.
2.a) If we have a successful 'connect', we just use that connection.
2.b) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
ECONNREFUSED (meaning the the connection was refused), we keep track
of this fact by using a flag.
2.c) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
EINPROGRESS (meaning that the connection is in progress), we perform
a 'select' call on the socket until we have a result (either a
successful connection, or an error on the socket).
3) If tcp_auto_retry is true, and we haven't gotten a successful
connection, and at least one of our attempts failed with
ECONNREFUSED, then we wait a little bit (i.e., call
'wait_for_connect'), check to see if there was a
timeout/interruption (in which case we bail out), and then go back
to (1).
After multiple tests, I was able to connect without delay on the
scenario described above, and was also able to connect in all other
types of scenarios.
I also implemented some hostname parsing functions (along with their
corresponding unit tests) which are used to help GDB and gdbserver to
parse hostname strings provided by the user. These new functions are
living inside common/netstuff.[ch]. I've had to do that since IPv6
introduces a new URL scheme, which defines that square brackets can be
used to enclose the host part and differentiate it from the
port (e.g., "[::1]:1234" means "host ::1, port 1234"). I spent some
time thinking about a reasonable way to interpret what the user wants,
and I came up with the following:
- If the user has provided a prefix that doesn't specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp:" or "udp:"), or if the user has not provided
any prefix, don't make any assumptions (i.e., assume AF_UNSPEC when
dealing with 'getaddrinfo') *unless* the host starts with "[" (in
which case, assume it's an IPv6 host).
- If the user has provided a prefix that does specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp4:", "tcp6:", "udp4:" or "udp6:"), then respect
that.
This method doesn't follow strictly what RFC 2732 proposes (that
literal IPv6 addresses should be provided enclosed in "[" and "]")
because IPv6 addresses still can be provided without square brackets
in our case, but since we have prefixes to specify protocol versions I
think this is not an issue.
Another thing worth mentioning is the new 'GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST'
testcase parameter, which makes it possible to specify the
hostname (without the port) to be used when testing GDB and
gdbserver. For example, to run IPv6 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp6:[::1]'
Or, to run IPv4 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp4:127.0.0.1'
This required a few changes on the gdbserver-base.exp, and also a
minimal adjustment on gdb.server/run-without-local-binary.exp.
Finally, I've implemented a new testcase,
gdb.server/server-connect.exp, which is supposed to run on the native
host and perform various "smoke tests" using different connection
methods.
This patch has been regression-tested on BuildBot and locally, and
also built using a x86_64-w64-mingw32 GCC, and no problems were found.

GDB PR tdep/8282: MIPS: Wire in `set disassembler-options'
Implement MIPS target support for passing options to the disassembler,
complementing commit 65b48a81404c ("GDB: Add support for the new
set/show disassembler-options commands.").
This includes options that expect an argument, so adjust the generic
code and data structures used so as to handle such options. So as to
give backends syntax flexibility no specific delimiter has been defined
to separate options from their respective arguments, so it has to be
included as the last character of the option name. Completion code
however has not been adjusted and consequently option arguments cannot
be completed at this time.
Also the MIPS target has non-empty defaults for the options, so that ABI
names for the general-purpose registers respect our `set mips abi ...'
setting rather than always being determined from the ELF headers of the
binary file selected. Handle these defaults as implicit options, never
shown to the user and always prepended to the user-specified options, so
that the latters can override the defaults.
The resulting output for the MIPS target is as follows:
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''
The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:
no-aliases Use canonical instruction forms.
msa Recognize MSA instructions.
virt Recognize the virtualization ASE instructions.
xpa Recognize the eXtended Physical Address (XPA) ASE
instructions.
ginv Recognize the Global INValidate (GINV) ASE instructions.
gpr-names=ABI Print GPR names according to specified ABI.
Default: based on binary being disassembled.
fpr-names=ABI Print FPR names according to specified ABI.
Default: numeric.
cp0-names=ARCH Print CP0 register names according to specified architecture.
Default: based on binary being disassembled.
hwr-names=ARCH Print HWR names according to specified architecture.
Default: based on binary being disassembled.
reg-names=ABI Print GPR and FPR names according to specified ABI.
reg-names=ARCH Print CP0 register and HWR names according to specified
architecture.
For the options above, the following values are supported for "ABI":
numeric 32 n32 64
For the options above, the following values are supported for "ARCH":
numeric r3000 r3900 r4000 r4010 vr4100 vr4111 vr4120 r4300 r4400 r4600

(gdb)
which corresponds to what `objdump --help' used to print for the MIPS
target, with minor formatting changes, most notably option argument
lists being wrapped, but also the amount of white space separating
options from the respective descriptions. The relevant part the new
code is now also used by `objdump --help', which means these formatting
changes apply to both outputs, except for argument list wrapping, which
is GDB-specific.
This also adds a separating new line between the heading and option
lists where descriptions are provided, hence:
(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''
The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:
esa Disassemble in ESA architecture mode
zarch Disassemble in z/Architecture mode
insnlength Print unknown instructions according to length from first two bits
(gdb)
but:
(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''
The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:
403, 405, 440, 464, 476, 601, 603, 604, 620, 7400, 7410, 7450, 7455, 750cl,
821, 850, 860, a2, altivec, any, booke, booke32, cell, com, e200z4, e300,
e500, e500mc, e500mc64, e5500, e6500, e500x2, efs, efs2, power4, power5,

ppcps, pwr, pwr2, pwr4, pwr5, pwr5x, pwr6, pwr7, pwr8, pwr9, pwrx, raw, spe,
spe2, titan, vle, vsx
(gdb)
Existing affected target backends have been adjusted accordingly.
This has been verified manually with:
(gdb) set architecture arm
(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit
to cause no issues with the `show disassembler-options' and `set
disassembler-options' commands. A test case for the MIPS target has
also been provided, covering the default settings with ABI overrides as
well as disassembler option overrides.

arch-utils: Make the last endianness actually chosen sticky
Use the last endianness explicitly selected, either by choosing a binary
file or with the `set endian' command, for future automatic selection.
As observed with the `gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp' test case when
discarding the binary file even while connected to a live target the
endianness automatically selected is reset to the GDB target's default,
even if it does not match the endianness of the target being talked to.
For example with a little-endian MIPS target and the default endianness
being big we get this:
(gdb) file .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols/step-over-no-symbols

(gdb) Killing process(es): ...
testcase .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp completed in 2 seconds
which shows that with the removal of the executable debugged the
endianness of $pc still at `main' gets swapped and the value in that
register is now incorrectly interpreted as 0x40084000 rather than
0x400840 as shown earlier on with the `break' command. Consequently the
debug session no longer works as expected, until the endianness is
overridden with an explicit `set endian little' command.
This will happen while working with any target hardware whose endianness
does not match the default GDB target's endianness guessed and recorded
for a later use in `initialize_current_architecture'.
Given that within a single run of GDB it is more likely that consecutive
target connections will use the same endianness than that the endianness
will be swapped between connections, it makes sense to preserve the last
endianness explicitly selected as the automatic default. It will make a
session like above, where an executable is removed, work correctly and
will retain the endianness for a further reconnection to the target.
And the new automatic default will still be overridden by subsequently
choosing a binary to debug, or with an explicit `set endian' command.
With the change in place the test case above completes successfully:

warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x400840.
GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x400840
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x400840 for code which looks like the beginning of a

gdb: Initial baremetal riscv support
This commit introduces basic support for baremetal RiscV as a GDB
target. This target is currently only tested against the RiscV software
simulator, which is not included as part of this commit. The target has
been tested against the following RiscV variants: rv32im, rv32imc,
rv32imf, rv32imfc, rv64im, rv64imc, rv64imfd, rv64imfdc.
Across these variants we pass on average 34858 tests, and fail 272
tests, which is ~0.8%.
The RiscV has a feature of its ABI where structures with a single
floating point field, a single complex float field, or one float and
one integer field are treated differently for argument passing. The
new test gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs.exp is added to cover this
feature. As passing these structures should work on all targets then
I've made the test as a generic one, even though, for most targets,
there's probably nothing special about any of these cases.

Implement pahole-like 'ptype /o' option
This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.
The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality. Here's an example:
/* offset | size */ type = struct wer : public tuv {
public:
/* 32 | 24 */ struct tyu {
/* 32:31 | 4 */ int a1 : 1;
/* 32:28 | 4 */ int a2 : 3;
/* 32: 5 | 4 */ int a3 : 23;
/* 35: 3 | 1 */ char a4 : 2;
/* XXX 3-bit hole */
/* XXX 4-byte hole */
/* 40 | 8 */ int64_t a5;
/* 48:27 | 4 */ int a6 : 5;
/* 48:56 | 8 */ int64_t a7 : 3;
/* total size (bytes): 24 */
} a1;
/* total size (bytes): 56 */
}
A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy. The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft. My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).
After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes. Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt. This should be implemented in a future
patch.
This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB. In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>
This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot. There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation. I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.

Add support for the readnever concept
The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.
It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.
Tested on the BuildBot.

Implement the ability to set/unset environment variables to GDBserver when starting the inferior
This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

* On Unix systems, GDB now supports transmitting environment variables
|
|
|
|
|
that are to be set or unset to GDBserver. These variables will

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To inform GDB of environment variables that are to be transmitted to

* Completion improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** GDB can now complete function parameters in linespecs and
|
|
|
|
|
explicit locations without quoting. When setting breakpoints,
|
|
|
|
|
quoting around functions names to help with TAB-completion is
|
|
|
|
|
generally no longer necessary. For example, this now completes
|
|
|
|
|
correctly:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) b function(in[TAB]
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) b function(int)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Related, GDB is no longer confused with completing functions in
|
|
|
|
|
C++ anonymous namespaces:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) b (anon[TAB]
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) b (anonymous namespace)::[TAB][TAB]
|
|
|
|
|
(anonymous namespace)::a_function()
|
|
|
|
|
(anonymous namespace)::b_function()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** GDB now has much improved linespec and explicit locations TAB
|
|
|
|
|
completion support, that better understands what you're
|
|
|
|
|
completing and offers better suggestions. For example, GDB no
|
|
|
|
|
longer offers data symbols as possible completions when you're
|
|
|
|
|
setting a breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** GDB now TAB-completes label symbol names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** The "complete" command now mimics TAB completion accurately.

Make "break foo" find "A::foo", A::B::foo", etc. [C++ and wild matching]
This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
(anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
(gdb) b B::function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)
To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit). For example:
(gdb) b B::function
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
vs:
(gdb) b -qualified B::function
B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const
I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".
Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations. I.e., these are equivalent:
(gdb) b -q func
(gdb) b -q -f func
and so are these:
(gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
(gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q
To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.
(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)
Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:
- makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
last-component name only).
- adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.
- adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
they mean it.
- adds new testsuite tests.
- adds unit tests.

* Breakpoints on C++ functions are now set on all scopes by default
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, breakpoints on functions/methods are now interpreted as
|
|
|
|
|
specifying all functions with the given name ignoring missing
|
|
|
|
|
leading scopes (namespaces and classes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, assuming a C++ program with symbols named:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A::B::func()
|
|
|
|
|
B::func()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
both commands "break func()" and "break B::func()" set a breakpoint
|
|
|
|
|
on both symbols.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the new flag "-qualified" to override this. This makes
|
|
|
|
|
GDB interpret the specified function name as a complete
|
|
|
|
|
fully-qualified name instead. For example, using the same C++
|
|
|
|
|
program, the "break -q B::func" command sets a breakpoint on
|
2017-12-14 00:37:09 +08:00
|
|
|
"B::func", only. A parameter has been added to the Python
|
|
|
|
|
gdb.Breakpoint constructor to achieve the same result when creating
|
|
|
|
|
a breakpoint from Python.
|
Make "break foo" find "A::foo", A::B::foo", etc. [C++ and wild matching]
This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>

(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
(anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const

Breakpoints in symbols with ABI tags (PR c++/19436)
Trying to set a breakpoint in a function with an ABI tag does not work
currently. E.g., debugging gdb itself, we see this with the
"string_printf" function:
(top-gdb) b string_print [TAB]
(top-gdb) b string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...) [RET]
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
Quoting doesn't help:
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11]'(char const*, ...)
malformed linespec error: unexpected string, "(char const*, ...)"
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)'
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
This patch fixes this, and takes it a bit further.
The actual symbol name as demangled by libiberty's demangler is really
string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)
however, this patch makes it possible to set the breakpoint with
string_printf(char const*, ...)
too. I.e., ignoring the ABI tag.
And to match, it teaches the completer to complete the symbol name
without the ABI tag, i.e.,
"string_pri<TAB>" -> "string_printf(char const*, ...)"
If however, you really want to break on a symbol with the tag, then
you simply start writing the tag, and GDB will preserve it, like:
"string_printf[a<TAB>" -> "string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)"
Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this:
-# of expected passes 8977

* Breakpoints on functions marked with C++ ABI tags
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can now set breakpoints on functions marked with C++ ABI tags
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g., [abi:cxx11]). See here for a description of ABI tags:
|
|
|
|
|
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2015/02/05/gcc5-and-the-c11-abi/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Functions with a C++11 abi tag are demangled/displayed like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
function[abi:cxx11](int)
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now set a breakpoint on such functions simply as if they had
|
|
|
|
|
no tag, like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) b function(int)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or if you need to disambiguate between tags, like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) b function[abi:other_tag](int)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tab completion was adjusted accordingly as well.

* New features in the GDB remote stub, GDBserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extend "set cwd" to work on gdbserver
This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.
The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that the remote inferior will use. There is a slight difference from
the packet proposed by LLDB: GDB's version will accept empty
arguments, meaning that the user wants to clear the previously set
working directory for the inferior (i.e., "set cwd" without arguments
on GDB).
For UNIX-like targets this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, and all gdbserver has to do is to basically
implement "set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.
For other targets, like Windows, it is possible to use the existing
"get_inferior_cwd" function and do the necessary steps to make sure
that the inferior will use the specified working directory.
Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) and the
documentation.
No regressions found.

Implement the ability to set/unset environment variables to GDBserver when starting the inferior
This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

(Ada) provide the exception message when hitting an exception catchpoint
This patch enhances the debugger to print the exception message, when
available, as part of an exception catchpoint hit notification (both
GDB/CLI and GDB/MI). For instance, with the following code...
procedure A is
begin
raise Constraint_Error with "hello world";
end A;
... instead of printing...
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR at 0x000000000040245c in a () at a.adb:3
... it now prints:
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR (hello world) at 0x000000000040245c in a ()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This enhancement requires runtime support. If not present, the debugger
just behaves as before.
In GDB/MI mode, if the exception message is available, it is provided
as an extra field named "exception-message" in the catchpoint notification:
*stopped,bkptno="1",[...],exception-name="CONSTRAINT_ERROR",
exception-message="hello world",[...]

Extend "set cwd" to work on gdbserver
This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.
The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that the remote inferior will use. There is a slight difference from
the packet proposed by LLDB: GDB's version will accept empty
arguments, meaning that the user wants to clear the previously set
working directory for the inferior (i.e., "set cwd" without arguments
on GDB).
For UNIX-like targets this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, and all gdbserver has to do is to basically
implement "set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.
For other targets, like Windows, it is possible to use the existing
"get_inferior_cwd" function and do the necessary steps to make sure
that the inferior will use the specified working directory.
Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) and the
documentation.
No regressions found.

Add optional argument to command "maint prints c-tdesc"
Nowadays, we need two steps to print c files for xml target description,
that is, 1) read xml target description in, update the current tdesc,
2) visit the current tdesc, print the c file. It is unnecessary to
involve in current tdesc, and some validations in each gdbarch are
performed unnecessarily, which will reject some target descriptions if
they are missing some mandatory feature.
This patch adds an optional argument to "maint print c-tdesc", which
is an XML file target description, so that we can combine the two
steps above into one step, and don't have to involve in global current
tdesc.
gdb:
2017-07-26 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* NEWS: Mention it.

Add selftests run filtering
With the growing number of selftests, I think it would be useful to be
able to run only a subset of the tests. This patch associates a name to
each registered selftest. It then allows doing something like:
(gdb) maintenance selftest aarch64
Running self-tests.
Running selftest aarch64-analyze-prologue.
Running selftest aarch64-process-record.
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
or with gdbserver:
./gdbserver --selftest=aarch64
In both cases, only the tests that contain "aarch64" in their name are
ran. To help validate that the tests you want to run were actually ran,
it also prints a message with the test name before running each test.
Right now, all the arch-dependent tests are registered as a single test
of the selftests. To be able to filter those too, I made them
"first-class citizen" selftests. The selftest type is an interface,
with different implementations for "simple selftests" and "arch
selftests". The run_tests function simply iterates on that an invokes
operator() on each test.
I changed the tests data structure from a vector to a map, because
- it allows iterating in a stable (alphabetical) order
- it allows to easily verify if a test with a given name has been
registered, to avoid duplicates
There's also a new command "maintenance info selftests" that lists the
registered selftests.

Implement "set cwd" command on GDB
This commit adds new "set/show cwd" commands, which are used to
set/show the current working directory of the inferior that will be
started.
The idea here is that "set cwd" will become the de facto way of
setting the inferior's cwd. Currently, the user can use "cd" for
that, but there are side effects: with "cd", GDB also switches to
another directory, and that can impact the loading of scripts and
other files. With "set cwd", we separate the logic into a new
command.
To maintain backward compatibility, if the user issues a "cd" command
but doesn't use "set cwd", then the inferior's cwd will still be
changed according to what the user specified. However, "set cwd" has
precedence over "cd", so it can always be used to override it.
"set cwd" works in the following way:
- If the user sets the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", then this
directory is saved into current_inferior ()->cwd and is used when
the inferior is started (see below).
- If the user doesn't set the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", but
rather use the "cd" command as before, then this directory is
inherited by the inferior because GDB will have chdir'd into it.
On Unix-like hosts, the way the directory is changed before the
inferior execution is by expanding the user set directory before the
fork, and then "chdir" after the call to fork/vfork on
"fork_inferior", but before the actual execution. On Windows, the
inferior cwd set by the user is passed directly to the CreateProcess
call, which takes care of the actual chdir for us.
This way, we'll make sure that GDB's cwd is not affected by the user
set cwd.

Record nested types
GDB currently does not track types defined in classes. Consider:
class A
{
public:
class B
{
public:
class C { };
};
};
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
}
This patch changes this behavior so that GDB records these nested types
and displays them to the user when he has set the (new) "print type"
option "nested-type-limit."
Example:
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 1
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
};
}
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 2
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
class A::B::C {
<no data fields>
};
};
}
By default, the code maintains the status quo, that is, it will not print
any nested type definitions at all.
Testing is carried out via cp_ptype_class which required quite a bit of
modification to permit recursive calling (for the nested types). This
was most easily facilitated by turning the ptype command output into a
queue. Upshot: the test suite now has stack and queue data structures that
may be used by test writers.

* Safer/improved support for debugging with no debug info
|

|
|

This means that GDB now refuses to call such functions unless you
|
|
|
|
|
tell it the function's type, by either casting the call to the
|
|
|
|
|
declared return type, or by casting the function to a function
|
|
|
|
|
pointer of the right type, and calling that:

Remove support for Solaris < 10 (PR gdb/22185)
Given that GCC has obsoleted/removed support for Solaris 9 in GCC 4.9/5 in 2013:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00728.html
and the last gdb version that can be compiled with gcc 4.9 is 7.12.1 only when
configured with --disable-build-with-cxx, it's time to obsolete/remove support
for Solaris < 10.
This patch does this, simplifying configure.nat along the way (only a single
sol2 configuration with variants for i386 and sparc).
Some configure checks for older Solaris versions can go, too, and the check
for libthread_db.so.1 removed:
* Since Solaris 10, dlopen has moved to libc and libdl.so is just a
filter on ld.so.1, so no need to check.
* $RDYNAMIC is already handled above (and is a no-op with Solaris ld
anyway).
Both proc-service.c and sol-thread.c lose support for (Solaris-only)
PROC_SERVICE_IS_OLD.
The attached revised patch has been tested on sparcv9-sun-solaris2.10,
sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11.4, amd64-pc-solaris2.10, amd64-pc-solaris2.11.4,
and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
I've also started an i386-pc-solaris2.9 build to check that it really
stops as expected.

*** Changes in GDB 8.0
|
Add support for Intel PKRU register to GDB and GDBserver.
This patch adds support for the registers added by the
Memory Protection Keys for Userspace (PKU aka PKEYs) feature.
Native and remote debugging are covered by this patch.
The XSAVE area is extended with a new state containing
the 32-bit wide PKRU register. The new register is added to
amd64-avx-mpx_avx512-* tdesc, thus it is renamed accordingly. Also,
respective xstate mask X86_XSTATE_AVX_MPX_AVX512_MASK is renamed to
X86_XSTATE_AVX_MPX_AVX512_PKU_MASK to reflect the new feature set
it supports.
For more information, please refer to the
Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual - Septemper 2015

Remove Java support
This patch removes the Java support from gdb. gcj has not seen much
development or use for years now, and was recently removed from GCC.
This patch changes gdb to follow; in the unlikely event that there are
still users using gcj, they can continue to use an older gdb to debug.
Or, they can debug in C++ mode.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 24.

Fix PR 20559 - "eval" command and $arg0...$arg9/$argc substitution
It'd be handy to be able to iterate over command arguments in
user-defined commands, in order to support optional arguments
($arg0..$argN).
I thought I could make it work with "eval", but alas, it doesn't work
currently. E.g., with:
define test
set $i = 0
while $i < $argc
eval "print $arg%d", $i
set $i = $i + 1
end
end
we get:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = void
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = void
$3 = void
$4 = void
(gdb)
The problem is that "eval" doesn't do user-defined command arguments
substitution after expanding its own argument. This patch fixes that,
which makes the example above work:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = 1
$3 = 2
$4 = 3
(gdb)
New test included, similar the above, but also exercises expanding
$argc.
I think this is likely to simplify many scripts out there, so I'm
adding an example to the manual and mentioning it in NEWS as well.

Intel MPX bound violation handling
With Intel Memory Protection Extensions it was introduced the concept of
boundary violation. A boundary violations is presented to the inferior as
a segmentation fault having SIGCODE 3. This patch adds a
handler for a boundary violation extending the information displayed
when a bound violation is presented to the inferior. In the stop mode
case the debugger will also display the kind of violation: "upper" or
"lower", bounds and the address accessed.
On no stop mode the information will still remain unchanged. Additional
information about bound violations are not meaningful in that case user
does not know the line in which violation occurred as well.
When the segmentation fault handler is stop mode the out puts will be
changed as exemplified below.
The usual output of a segfault is:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In case it is a bound violation it will be presented as:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Upper bound violation while accessing address 0x7fffffffc3b3
Bounds: [lower = 0x7fffffffc390, upper = 0x7fffffffc3a3]
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In mi mode the output of a segfault is:
*stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV",
signal-meaning="Segmentation fault", frame={addr="0x0000000000400d7c",

* Support for running interpreters on specified input/output devices
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

GDB now supports a new mechanism that allows frontends to provide
|
|
|
|
|
fully featured GDB console views, as a better alternative to
|
|
|
|
|
building such views on top of the "-interpreter-exec console"
|
|
|
|
|
command. See the new "new-ui" command below. With that command,
|
|
|
|
|
frontends can now start GDB in the traditional command-line mode
|
|
|
|
|
running in an embedded terminal emulator widget, and create a
|
|
|
|
|
separate MI interpreter running on a specified i/o device. In this
|
|
|
|
|
way, GDB handles line editing, history, tab completion, etc. in the
|
|
|
|
|
console all by itself, and the GUI uses the separate MI interpreter
|
|
|
|
|
for its own control and synchronization, invisible to the command
|
|
|
|
|
line.

That is:
- Remote M32R debugging over SDI.
- Debugging boards using the MIPS remote debugging protocol
over a serial line, PMON, and a few variants.
These are the last non-"target remote" remote targets in the tree, if
you don't count "target sim".

Add method/format information to =record-started
Eclipse CDT now supports enabling execution recording using two methods
(full and btrace) and both formats for btrace (bts and pt). In the
event that recording is enabled behind the back of the GUI (by the user
on the command line, or a script), we need to know which method/format
are being used, so it can be correctly reflected in the interface. This
patch adds this information to the =record-started async record.
Before:
=record-started,thread-group="i1"
After:
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="bts"
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="pt"
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="full"
The "format" field is only present when the current method supports
multiple formats (only the btrace method as of now).

* NEWS: Mention the new fields in =record-started.
* common/btrace-common.h (btrace_format_short_string): New function
declaration.
* common/btrace-common.c (btrace_format_short_string): New

Emit inferior, thread and frame selection events to all UIs
With this patch, when an inferior, thread or frame is explicitly
selected by the user, notifications will appear on all CLI and MI UIs.
When a GDB console is integrated in a front-end, this allows the
front-end to follow a selection made by the user ont he CLI, and it
informs the user about selection changes made behind the scenes by the
front-end.
This patch addresses PR gdb/20487.
In order to communicate frame changes to the front-end, this patch adds
a new field to the =thread-selected event for the selected frame. The
idea is that since inferior/thread/frame can be seen as a composition,
it makes sense to send them together in the same event. The vision
would be to eventually send the inferior information as well, if we find
that it's needed, although the "=thread-selected" event would be
ill-named for that job.
Front-ends need to handle this new field if they want to follow the
frame selection changes that originate from the console. The format of
the frame attribute is the same as what is found in the *stopped events.
Here's a detailed example for each command and the events they generate:
thread
------
1. CLI command:
thread 1.3
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={...}
2. MI command:
-thread-select 3
CLI event:
[Switching to thread 1.3 ...]
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
thread 1.3
MI event/reply:
&"thread 1.3\n"
~"#0 child_sub_function () ...
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="0",...}
^done
frame
-----
1. CLI command:
frame 1
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1",...}
2. MI command:
-stack-select-frame 1
CLI event:
#1 0x00000000004007f0 in child_function...
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
frame 1
MI event/reply:
&"frame 1\n"
~"#1 0x00000000004007f9 in ..."
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1"...}
^done
inferior
--------
Inferior selection events only go from the console to MI, since there's
no way to select the inferior in pure MI.
1. CLI command:
inferior 2
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3"
Note that if the user selects an inferior that is not started or exited,
the MI doesn't receive a notification. Since there is no threads to
select, the =thread-selected event does not apply...
2. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
inferior 2
MI event/reply:
&"inferior 2\n"
~"[Switching to inferior 2 ...]"
=thread-selected,id="4",frame={level="0"...}
^done
Internal implementation detail: this patch makes it possible to suppress
notifications caused by a CLI command, like what is done in mi-interp.c.
This means that it's now possible to use the
add_com_suppress_notification function to register a command with some
event suppressed. It is used to implement the select-frame command in
this patch.
The function command_notifies_uscc_observer was added to extract
the rather complicated logical expression from the if statement. It is
also now clearer what that logic does: if the command used by the user
already notifies the user_selected_context_changed observer, there is
not need to notify it again. It therefore protects again emitting the
event twice.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 x86 with target boards unix and
native-extended-gdbserver.

Per-inferior/Inferior-qualified thread IDs
This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 6022 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
* 2 process 6037 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
1.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6022) "threads" (running)
1.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6028) "threads" (running)
1.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6032) "threads" (running)
2.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1700 (LWP 6037) "threads" (running)
2.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6038) "threads" (running)
* 2.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6039) "threads" (running)
(gdb)
...
(gdb) thread 1.1
[Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
(gdb)
...
etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
* 1 process 15275 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 15275) "threads" main () at threads.c:40
(gdb) add-inferior

Per-inferior/Inferior-qualified thread IDs
This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 6022 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
* 2 process 6037 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads

(gdb)
...
(gdb) thread 1.1
[Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
(gdb)
...
etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors

For backwards compatibility, MI's thread IDs always refer to global
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Commands that accept thread IDs now accept the qualified

INF_NUM.THR_NUM form as well. For example:

* In commands that accept a list of thread IDs, you can now refer to
|
|
|
|
|
all threads of an inferior using a star wildcard. GDB accepts
|
|
|
|
|
"INF_NUM.*", to refer to all threads of inferior INF_NUM, and "*" to
|
|
|
|
|
refer to all threads of the current inferior. For example, "info
|
|
|
|

threads 2.*".
|
|
|
|

2016-01-13 18:56:09 +08:00

|
|
all threads.

Fix PR threads/19422 - show which thread caused stop
This commit changes GDB like this:
- Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
+ Thread 1 "main" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
- Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
+ Thread 3 "bar" hit Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
... once the program goes multi-threaded. Until GDB sees a second
thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the
discussion back in 2012:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html
This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit
a breakpoint or received a signal:
(gdb) info threads

2 Thread 0x7ffff7fc0700 (LWP 19366) "foo" (running)
3 Thread 0x7ffff77bf700 (LWP 19367) "bar" (running)
(gdb)
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
0x0000003616a09237 in pthread_join (threadid=140737353877248, thread_return=0x7fffffffd5b8) at pthread_join.c:92

(gdb)
Breakpoint 1, thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:87
87 usleep (1); /* Loop increment. */
The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure
things out.
It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print
nostop":
...
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
...
The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads
getting the SIGUSR1 signal.
I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in
"Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1"
but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint"
uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information. It's
also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the
program goes multi-threaded this way.
Here's a larger example session in non-stop mode:

Implement all-stop on top of a target running non-stop mode
This finally implements user-visible all-stop mode running with the
target_ops backend always in non-stop mode. This is a stepping stone
towards finer-grained control of threads, being able to do interesting
things like thread groups, associating groups with breakpoints, etc.
From the user's perspective, all-stop mode is really just a special
case of being able to stop and resume specific sets of threads, so it
makes sense to do this step first.
With this, even in all-stop, the target is no longer in charge of
stopping all threads before reporting an event to the core -- the core
takes care of it when it sees fit. For example, when "next"- or
"step"-ing, we can avoid stopping and resuming all threads at each
internal single-step, and instead only stop all threads when we're
about to present the stop to the user.
The implementation is almost straight forward, as the heavy lifting
has been done already in previous patches. Basically, we replace
checks for "set non-stop on/off" (the non_stop global), with calls to
a new target_is_non_stop_p function. In a few places, if "set
non-stop off", we stop all threads explicitly, and in a few other
places we resume all threads explicitly, making use of existing
methods that were added for teaching non-stop to step over breakpoints
without displaced stepping.
This adds a new "maint set target-non-stop on/off/auto" knob that
allows both disabling the feature if we find problems, and
force-enable it for development (useful when teaching a target about
this. The default is "auto", which means the feature is enabled if a
new target method says it should be enabled. The patch implements the
method in linux-nat.c, just for illustration, because it still returns
false. We'll need a few follow up fixes before turning it on by
default. This is a separate target method from indicating regular
non-stop support, because e.g., while e.g., native linux-nat.c is
close to regression free with all-stop-non-stop (with following
patches will fixing the remaining regressions), remote.c+gdbserver
will still need more fixing, even though it supports "set non-stop
on".
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, with and without "set displaced
off", and with and without "maint set target-non-stop on"; and also
against gdbserver.

Remote thread create/exit events
When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.

Delete the remaining ROM monitor targets
Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-07/msg00011.html
All of these targets use gdb/monitor.c, which has bit rotted
years ago (I'd guess around ~6), and nobody seems to
have noticed:
| target | source |
|----------------+----------------------|
| target dbug | gdb/dbug-rom.c |
| target picobug | gdb/microblaze-rom.c |
| target dink32 | gdb/dink32-rom.c |
| target m32r | gdb/m32r-rom.c |
| target mon2000 | gdb/m32r-rom.c |
| target ppcbug | gdb/ppcbug-rom.c |
This deletes them, along with finally removing monitor.c.
A manual update will be done separately.

(Ada) New command to stop at start of exception handler.
When using gdb for debugging Ada source code, there are several catchpoint
types you can define in order to stop upon certain conditions. Let's
use this small example:
procedure Foo is
begin
begin
raise Constraint_Error;
exception
when Program_Error =>
null;
when Constraint_Error =>
null;
when others =>
null;
end;
end Foo;
One can stop when the exception is being raised by using the exception
catchpoint like below:
(gdb) catch exception
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions
(gdb)
In that case, when running Foo, gdb will stop at the line where the exception
was raised:
begin
>>> raise Constraint_Error;
exception
This patch introduces new type of catchpoint, when the user wants to stop
at the location of the exception handling.
Imagine we want to stop on any exception handled by the program, we can do:
(gdb) catch handlers
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions handlers
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo
By doing so, when running Foo, gdb will stop here:
Catchpoint 1, exception at 0x000000000040255a in foo () at foo.adb:25
25 when Constraint_Error =>
(gdb)
It is also possible to stop when the Constraint_Error exception is being
handled in this program. With this patch, we can use:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error
Catchpoint 1: `Constraint_Error' Ada exception handlers
(gdb)
Like for other catchpoint, you can set a condition when adding a catchpoint
on exception handlers.
Here the handlers catchpoint checks Global_Var:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error if Global_Var /= 0

*** Changes in GDB 7.10
|
Implement support for checking /proc/PID/coredump_filter
This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use
the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a
corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of
the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user
can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by
enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently,
here is what is supported:
bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings.
bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings.
bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings.
bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings.
bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24)
Dump ELF headers.
bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump private huge pages.
bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump shared huge pages.
(This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it
on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source
tree).
The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33,
which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the
default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW.
Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you,
is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I
extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and
made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from
/proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the
inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as
we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look
at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about
everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready
I will post it here).
With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for
determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed,
private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does
not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump
"[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel).
In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is:
- If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with
" (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x"
(shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if
the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps
have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous.
There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a
file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or
"AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both*
anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What
that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user
requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed
mappings to be present in the corefile.
It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above,
the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with
" (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is
anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may
have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux
kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do
this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root,
and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/
directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink
or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that
if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed
anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do
better: expose this information in a more direct way.
- If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps),
then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have
access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then
certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see
the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that
case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission
flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the
presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means
the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough,
however.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set
use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the
coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it
will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory
mappings to dump.

remote+docs: software/hardware breakpoint traps
This adjusts target remote to tell the core whether a trap was caused
by a breakpoint.
To that end, the patch teaches GDB about new RSP stop reasons "T05
swbreak" and "T05 hwbreak", that remote targets report back to GDB,
similarly to how "T05 watch" indicates a stop caused by a watchpoint.
Because targets that can report these events are expected to
themselves adjust the PC after a software breakpoint, these new stop
reasons must only be reported if the stub is talking to a GDB that
understands them. Because of that, the use of the new stop reasons
needs to be handshaked on initial connection, using the qSupported
mechanism. GDB simply sends "swbreak+" in its qSupports query, and
the stub reports back "swbreak+" too.
Because these new stop reasons are required to fix a fundamental
non-stop mode problem, this commit extends the remote non-stop intro
section in the manual, documenting the events as required.
To be clear, GDB will still cope with remote targets that don't
support these new stop reasons; it will behave just like today.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

Remove --xdb
Pedro Alves:
The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual.
Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really
be using the --xdb switch.
I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I
looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked
potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias
for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end".
I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially
more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated,
e.g., for golang).

the "compile" command
This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

the "compile" command
This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

Always pass signals to the right thread
Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several
different but related scenarios.
E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread
2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread
2, not thread 1. This obviously messes up programs that use
pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads.
This has been a known issue for a long while. Back in 2008 when I
made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see
code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later.
The time has finally come now.
The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always
delivered to the thread that had intercepted them.
Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches
to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually
delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches
to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint... If the user deletes the
breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered
to thread 2 (the current thread).
"signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the
program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing
"handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had
stopped for. These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin,
and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do. GDB might
have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new
signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test). At least in the
inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver
the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the
command's behavior consistent and easy to explain.
Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program
had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had
changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with:
(gdb) continue
Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO.
(gdb) thread 2
(gdb) signal SIGBAR
... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2
(with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then
"signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads).
So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation:
(gdb) thread 1
[Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)]
(gdb) signal SIGUSR2
Note:
Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2.
Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will
still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads.
Continue anyway? (y or n)
All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

Fix "breakpoint always-inserted off"; remove "breakpoint always-inserted auto"
By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.
But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").
When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this.
That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the
same time.
In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop
too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:
(gdb) c&
(gdb) b foo
That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by
this patch also covers this.
IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.
So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

* Guile scripting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has support for scripting using Guile. Whether this is
|
|
|
|
|
available is determined at configure time.
|
|
|
|
|
Guile version 2.0 or greater is required.
|
|
|
|
|
Guile version 2.0.9 is well tested, earlier 2.0 versions are not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New commands (for set/show, see "New options" below)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
guile [code]
|
|
|
|
|
gu [code]
|
|
|
|
|
Invoke CODE by passing it to the Guile interpreter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
guile-repl
|
|
|
|
|
gr
|
|
|
|
|
Start a Guile interactive prompt (or "repl" for "read-eval-print loop").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
info auto-load guile-scripts [regexp]
|
|
|
|
|
Print the list of automatically loaded Guile scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The source command is now capable of sourcing Guile scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
This feature is dependent on the debugger being built with Guile support.

New Ada maintenance command to ignore descriptive types (DWARF).
Currently, Ada debugging requires the use of certain GNAT-specific
encodings, which are generated by the compiler. These encodings
were created a long time ago to work around the fairly limited
capabilities of the stabs debugging format. With DWARF, the vast
majority of the encodings could be abandoned in favor of a pure
DWARF approach.
In order to make it easier to evaluate the quality of the DWARF
debugging information generated by the compiler, and how the debugger
handles it, we are introducing a small Ada-specific maintenance
setting which changes the debugger's behavior to ignore descriptive
types. Descriptive types are artificial types generated by the
compiler purely to give the debugger hints as to how to properly
decode certain properties of a type. For instance, for array
types, it generates a parallel type whose name is the name of
the array suffixed with ___XA, whose contents tells us what
the array's index type is, and possibly its bounds. See GCC's
gcc/ada/exp_dbug.ads for the full description of all encodings.
This is only a first step, as this setting does not deactivate
all encodings; More settings dedicated to each type of encoding
will likely be implemented in the future, as we make progress.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (maint_set_ada_cmdlist, maint_show_ada_cmdlist):
New static globals.
(maint_set_ada_cmd, maint_show_ada_cmd): New functions.
(ada_ignore_descriptive_types_p): New static global.
(find_parallel_type_by_descriptive_type): Return immediately
if ada_ignore_descriptive_types_p is set.
(_initialize_ada_language): Register new commands "maintenance
set ada", "maintenance show ada", "maintenance set ada
ignore-descriptive-types" and "maintenance show ada
ignore-descriptive-types".
* NEWS: Add entry for new "maint ada set/show
ignore-descriptive-types" commands.

Allow making GDB not automatically connect to the native target.
Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target. E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run". That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended. Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.
With the patch, we now can have this instead:
(gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
*gdb disconnects*
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.
Before:
(gdb) target native
Use the "run" command to start a native process.
After:
(gdb) target native
Done. Use the "run" command to start a process.
(gdb) maint print target-stack
The current target stack is:
- native (Native process)
- exec (Local exec file)
- None (None)
(gdb) run
Starting program: ./a.out
...
I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode). With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target. Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core
On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before. This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged. The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:
have_inferiors (void)
{
for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
if (inf->pid != 0)
return 1;
It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check. To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.
Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.
Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.
Untested otherwise.

enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of async
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

* The 'record instruction-history' command now starts counting instructions
|
|
|
|
|
at one. This also affects the instruction ranges reported by the
|
|
|
|
|
'record function-call-history' command when given the /i modifier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-04-18 16:58:05 +08:00
|

* The command 'record function-call-history' supports a new modifier '/c' to
|
|
|
|

indent the function names based on their call stack depth.
|
|
|
|
|
The fields for the '/i' and '/l' modifier have been reordered.
|
|
|
|
|
The source line range is now prefixed with 'at'.
|
|
|
|
|
The instruction range is now prefixed with 'inst'.
|
|
|
|
|
Both ranges are now printed as '<from>, <to>' to allow copy&paste to the
|
|
|
|
|
"record instruction-history" and "list" commands.

Make compare-sections work against all targets; add compare-sections [-r] tests.
This does two things:
1. Adds a test.
Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition. This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.
2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.
Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet. The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself. This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO. While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program. That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that. This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.
I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver. I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

* All native targets are now consistently called "native".
|
|
|
|
|
Consequently, the "target child", "target GNU", "target djgpp",
|
|
|
|
|
"target procfs" (Solaris/Irix/OSF/AIX) and "target darwin-child"
|
|
|
|
|
commands have been replaced with "target native". The QNX/NTO port
|
|
|
|
|
leaves the "procfs" target in place and adds a "native" target for
|
|
|
|
|
consistency with other ports. The impact on users should be minimal
|
|
|
|
|
as these commands previously either throwed an error, or were
|
|
|
|
|
no-ops. The target's name is visible in the output of the following
|
|
|
|
|
commands: "help target", "info target", "info files", "maint print
|
|
|
|
|
target-stack".
|
|
|
|
|

Allow making GDB not automatically connect to the native target.
Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target. E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run". That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended. Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.
With the patch, we now can have this instead:
(gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
*gdb disconnects*
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.
Before:
(gdb) target native
Use the "run" command to start a native process.
After:
(gdb) target native
Done. Use the "run" command to start a process.
(gdb) maint print target-stack
The current target stack is:
- native (Native process)
- exec (Local exec file)
- None (None)
(gdb) run
Starting program: ./a.out
...
I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode). With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target. Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core
On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before. This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged. The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:
have_inferiors (void)
{
for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
if (inf->pid != 0)
return 1;
It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check. To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.
Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.
Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.
Untested otherwise.

Deprecate windows-specific dll-symbols command and aliases
The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms,
gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first
because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared"
output does not get updated after the command completes:
(gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 No C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes").
As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely
independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent
loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated.
See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add
instead of calling solib_add.
But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get
updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's
actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe
that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered
address.
Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be
a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands
which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The
command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp
rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use
the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the
"dll-symbols" command. For instance:
(gdb) share rpcrt4.dll
Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 Yes (*) C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
This patch therefore deprecates the "dll-symbols" command, as well
as its two aliases "add-shared-symbol-files" and "assf", with a view
of deleting them as soon as the 7.8 branch gets cut.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* windows-nat.c (_initialize_windows_nat): Deprecate the
"dll-symbols" command. Turn the "add-shared-symbol-files"
and "assf" aliases into commands, and deprecate them as well.

aliases are now deprecated.

its alias "share", instead.

enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of async
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

** A new option "-gdb-set mi-async" replaces "-gdb-set

CLI background execution commands are now always possible by

Based on the discussion at:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-09/msg00301.html>
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-09/msg00383.html>
This patch adds a new convenience function called $_isvoid, whose
only purpose is to check whether an expression is void or not.
This became necessary because the new convenience variable
$_exitsignal (not yet approved) has a mutual exclusive behavior
with $_exitcode, i.e., when one is "defined" (i.e., non-void),
the other is cleared (i.e., becomes void). Doug wanted a way to
identify which variable to use, and checking for voidness is the
obvious solution.
It is worth mentioning that my first attempt, after a conversation with
Doug, was to actually implement a new $_isdefined() convenience
function. I would do that (for convenience variables) by calling
lookup_only_internalvar. However, I found a few problems:
- Whenever I called $_isdefined ($variable), $variable became defined
(with a void value), and $_isdefined always returned true.
- Then, I tried to implement $_isdefined ("variable"), and do the "$" +
"variable" inside GDB, thus making it impossible for GDB to create the
convenience variable. However, it was hard to extract the string
without having to mess with values and their idiossincrasies.
Therefore, I decided to abandon this attempt (specially because I
didn't want to spend too much time struggling with it).
Anyway, after talking to Doug again we decided that it would be easier
to implement $_isvoid, and this will probably help in cases like
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3744554/testing-if-a-gdb-convenience-variable-is-defined>.
I wrote a NEWS entry for it, and some new lines on the documentation.

* New convenience function "$_isvoid", to check whether an expression
|
|
|
|
|
is void. A void expression is an expression where the type of the
|
|
|
|
|
result is "void". For example, some convenience variables may be
|
|
|
|
|
"void" when evaluated (e.g., "$_exitcode" before the execution of
|
|
|
|
|
the program being debugged; or an undefined convenience variable).
|
|

Another example, when calling a function whose return type is

"void".

Print registers not saved in the frame as "<not saved>" instead of "<optimized out>".
Currently, in some scenarios, GDB prints <optimized out> when printing
outer frame registers. An <optimized out> register is a confusing
concept. What this really means is that the register is
call-clobbered, or IOW, not saved by the callee. This patch makes GDB
say that instead.
Before patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax $1 = <optimized out>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <optimized out>
After patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax
$1 = <not saved>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <not saved>
However, if for some reason the debug info describes a variable as
being in such a register (**), we still want to print <optimized out>
when printing the variable. IOW, <not saved> is reserved for
inspecting registers at the machine level. The patch uses
lval_register+optimized_out to encode the not saved registers, and
makes it so that optimized out variables always end up in
!lval_register values.
** See <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00787.html>.
Current/recent enough GCC doesn't mark variables/arguments as being in
call-clobbered registers in the ranges corresponding to function
calls, while older GCCs did. Newer GCCs will just not say where the
variable is, so GDB will end up realizing the variable is optimized
out.
frame_unwind_got_optimized creates not_lval optimized out registers,
so by default, in most cases, we'll see <optimized out>.
value_of_register is the function eval.c uses for evaluating
OP_REGISTER (again, $pc, etc.), and related bits. It isn't used for
anything else. This function makes sure to return lval_register
values. The patch makes "info registers" and the MI equivalent use it
too. I think it just makes a lot of sense, as this makes it so that
when printing machine registers ($pc, etc.), we go through a central
function.
We're likely to need a different encoding at some point, if/when we
support partially saved registers. Even then, I think
value_of_register will still be the spot to tag the intention to print
machine register values differently.
value_from_register however may also return optimized out
lval_register values, so at a couple places where we're computing a
variable's location from a dwarf expression, we convert the resulting
value away from lval_register to a regular optimized out value.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17

range stepping: gdb
This patch teaches GDB to take advantage of target-assisted range
stepping. It adds a new 'r ADDR1,ADDR2' action to vCont (vCont;r),
meaning, "step once, and keep stepping as long as the thread is in the
[ADDR1,ADDR2) range".
Rationale:
When user issues the "step" command on the following line of source,
a = b + c + d * e - a;
GDB single-steps every single instruction until the program reaches a
new different line. E.g., on x86_64, that line compiles to:
0x08048434 <+65>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
0x08048438 <+69>: mov 0x30(%esp),%edx
0x0804843c <+73>: add %eax,%edx
0x0804843e <+75>: mov 0x18(%esp),%eax
0x08048442 <+79>: imul 0x2c(%esp),%eax
0x08048447 <+84>: add %edx,%eax
0x08048449 <+86>: sub 0x34(%esp),%eax
0x0804844d <+90>: mov %eax,0x34(%esp)
0x08048451 <+94>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
and the following is the RSP traffic between GDB and GDBserver:
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3c840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:1;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3e840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:42840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:47840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:49840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:4d840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
IOW, a lot of roundtrips between GDB and GDBserver.
If we add a new command to the RSP, meaning "keep stepping and don't
report a stop until the program goes out of the [0x08048434,
0x08048451) address range", then the RSP traffic can be reduced down
to:
--> vCont;r8048434,8048451:p2db0.2db0;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2db0.2db0;core:1;
As number of packets is reduced dramatically, the performance of
stepping source lines is much improved.
In case something is wrong with range stepping on the stub side, the
debug info or even gdb, this adds a "set/show range-stepping" command
to be able to turn range stepping off.

* MI changes
|
|
|
|
|

GDB/MI: Add new "--language LANG" command option.
Frontend sometimes need to evaluate expressions that are
language-specific. For instance, Eclipse uses the following
expression to determine the size of an address on the target:
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C,
this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get...
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context."
... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result.
The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C
before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as:
1. save current language
2. set language c
3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
4. Restore language
This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context
Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting
the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of
general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead.
This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar
new command option: --language LANG. Example of use:
-data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)"
^done,value="4"
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-parse.h (struct mi_parse) <language>: New field.
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_execute): Temporarily set language to
PARSE->LANGUAGE during command execution, if set.

New GDB/MI command "-info-gdb-mi-command"
This patch adds a new GDB/MI command meant for graphical frontends
trying to determine whether a given GDB/MI command exists or not.
Examples:
-info-gdb-mi-command unsupported-command
^done,command={exists="false"}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true"}
(gdb)
At the moment, this is the only piece of information that this
command returns.
Eventually, and if needed, we can extend it to provide
command-specific pieces of information, such as updates to
the command's syntax since inception. This could become,
for instance:
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true",features=[]}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command catch-assert
^done,command={exists="true",features=["conditions"]}
In the first case, it would mean that no extra features,
while in the second, it announces that the -catch-assert
command in this version of the debugger supports a feature
called "condition" - exact semantics to be documented with
combined with the rest of the queried command's documentation.
But for now, we start small, and only worry about existance.
And to bootstrap the process, I have added an entry in the
output of the -list-features command as well ("info-gdb-mi-command"),
allowing the graphical frontends to go through the following process:
1. Send -list-features, collect info from there as before;
2. Check if the output contains "info-gdb-mi-command".
If it does, then support for various commands can be
queried though -info-gdb-mi-command. Newer commands
will be expected to always be checked via this new
-info-gdb-mi-command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_info_gdb_mi_command): Declare.
* mi/mi-cmd-info.c (mi_cmd_info_gdb_mi_command): New function.
* mi/mi-cmds.c (mi_cmds): Add -info-gdb-mi-command command.
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add "info-gdb-mi-command"
field to output of "-list-features".
* NEWS: Add entry for new -info-gdb-mi-command.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document
the new -info-gdb-mi-command GDB/MI command. Document
the meaning of "-info-gdb-mi-command" in the output of
-list-features.

Add options to skip unavailable locals
This is the patch to add new option '--skip-unavailable' to MI
commands '-stack-list-{locals, arguments, variables}'. This patch
extends list_args_or_locals to add a new parameter 'skip_unavailable',
and don't list locals or arguments if values are unavailable and
'skip_unavailable' is true.
This is inspecting a trace frame (tfind mode), where only a few
locals have been collected.
-stack-list-locals, no switch vs new switch:
-stack-list-locals --simple-values
^done,locals=[{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"},{name="i",type="int",value="<unavailable>"}]
-stack-list-locals --skip-unavailable --simple-values
^done,locals=[{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"}]
-stack-list-arguments, no switch vs new switch:
-stack-list-arguments --simple-values
^done,stack-args=[frame={level="0",args=[{name="j",type="int",value="4"},{name="s",type="char *",value="<unavailable>"}]},frame={level="1",args=[]}]
-stack-list-arguments --skip-unavailable --simple-values
^done,stack-args=[frame={level="0",args=[{name="j",type="int",value="4"}]},frame={level="1",args=[]}]
-stack-list-variables, no switch vs new switch:
-stack-list-variables --simple-values
^done,variables=[{name="j",arg="1",type="int",value="4"},{name="s",arg="1",type="char *",value="<unavailable>"},{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"},{name="i",type="int",value="<unavailable>"}]
-stack-list-variables --skip-unavailable --simple-values
^done,variables=[{name="j",arg="1",type="int",value="4"},{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"}]
tests are added to test these new options.

range stepping: gdb
This patch teaches GDB to take advantage of target-assisted range
stepping. It adds a new 'r ADDR1,ADDR2' action to vCont (vCont;r),
meaning, "step once, and keep stepping as long as the thread is in the
[ADDR1,ADDR2) range".
Rationale:
When user issues the "step" command on the following line of source,
a = b + c + d * e - a;
GDB single-steps every single instruction until the program reaches a
new different line. E.g., on x86_64, that line compiles to:
0x08048434 <+65>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
0x08048438 <+69>: mov 0x30(%esp),%edx
0x0804843c <+73>: add %eax,%edx
0x0804843e <+75>: mov 0x18(%esp),%eax
0x08048442 <+79>: imul 0x2c(%esp),%eax
0x08048447 <+84>: add %edx,%eax
0x08048449 <+86>: sub 0x34(%esp),%eax
0x0804844d <+90>: mov %eax,0x34(%esp)
0x08048451 <+94>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
and the following is the RSP traffic between GDB and GDBserver:
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3c840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:1;

<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
IOW, a lot of roundtrips between GDB and GDBserver.
If we add a new command to the RSP, meaning "keep stepping and don't
report a stop until the program goes out of the [0x08048434,
0x08048451) address range", then the RSP traffic can be reduced down
to:
--> vCont;r8048434,8048451:p2db0.2db0;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2db0.2db0;core:1;
As number of packets is reduced dramatically, the performance of
stepping source lines is much improved.
In case something is wrong with range stepping on the stub side, the
debug info or even gdb, this adds a "set/show range-stepping" command
to be able to turn range stepping off.

|
|
|
enabled on x86/x86_64 GNU/Linux targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-06-26 16:01:57 +08:00
|
|
|
** GDBserver now adds element 'tvar' in the XML in the reply to
|
|
|
|
|
'qXfer:traceframe-info:read'. It has the id of the collected
|
|
|
|
|
trace state variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-27 15:59:49 +08:00
|
|
|
** GDBserver now supports hardware watchpoints on the MIPS GNU/Linux
|
|
|
|
|
target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-25 18:16:08 +08:00
|
|
|
* New 'z' formatter for printing and examining memory, this displays the
|
|
|
|
|
value as hexadecimal zero padded on the left to the size of the type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-09-02 17:28:02 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB can now use Windows x64 unwinding data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-10-10 13:50:20 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "set remotebaud" command has been replaced by "set serial baud".
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, "show remotebaud" has been replaced by "show serial baud".
|
|
|
|
|
The "set remotebaud" and "show remotebaud" commands are still available
|
|
|
|
|
to provide backward compatibility with older versions of GDB.

* Target record has been renamed to record-full.
|
|
|
|
|
Record/replay is now enabled with the "record full" command.
|
|
|
|
|
This also affects settings that are associated with full record/replay
|
|
|
|
|
that have been moved from "set/show record" to "set/show record full":
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set|show record full insn-number-max
|
|
|
|
|
set|show record full stop-at-limit
|
|
|
|
|
set|show record full memory-query
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A new record target "record-btrace" has been added. The new target
|
|
|
|
|
uses hardware support to record the control-flow of a process. It
|
|
|
|
|
does not support replaying the execution, but it implements the
|
|
|
|
|
below new commands for investigating the recorded execution log.
|
|
|
|
|
This new recording method can be enabled using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
record btrace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "record-btrace" target is only available on Intel Atom processors
|
|
|
|
|
and requires a Linux kernel 2.6.32 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Two new commands have been added for record/replay to give information
|
|
|
|
|
about the recorded execution without having to replay the execution.
|
|
|
|
|
The commands are only supported by "record btrace".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
record instruction-history prints the execution history at
|
|
|
|
|
instruction granularity
|

by default. The --enable-libmcheck/--disable-libmcheck configure
|
|
|
|
|
options allow the user to override that default.

** Output of the "-trace-status" command includes a "trace-file" field
|
|
|
|
|
containing the name of the trace file being examined. This field is

|
|
* GDB now supports debugging microMIPS binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-05-12 06:24:24 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "info os" command on GNU/Linux can now display information on
|
|
|
|
|
several new classes of objects managed by the operating system:
|
|
|
|
|
"info os procgroups" lists process groups
|
|
|
|
|
"info os files" lists file descriptors
|
|
|
|
|
"info os sockets" lists internet-domain sockets
|
|
|
|
|
"info os shm" lists shared-memory regions
|
|
|
|
|
"info os semaphores" lists semaphores
|
|
|
|
|
"info os msg" lists message queues
|
|
|
|
|
"info os modules" lists loaded kernel modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-28 04:47:57 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now has support for SDT (Static Defined Tracing) probes. Currently,
|
|
|
|
|
the only implemented backend is for SystemTap probes (<sys/sdt.h>). You
|
|
|
|
|
can set a breakpoint using the new "-probe, "-pstap" or "-probe-stap"
|
|
|
|
|
options and inspect the probe arguments using the new $_probe_arg family
|
|
|
|
|
of convenience variables. You can obtain more information about SystemTap
|
|
|
|
|
in <http://sourceware.org/systemtap/>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-27 23:46:33 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now supports reversible debugging on ARM, it allows you to
|
|
|
|
|
debug basic ARM and THUMB instructions, and provides
|
|
|
|
|
record/replay support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-14 05:02:40 +08:00
|
|
|
* The option "symbol-reloading" has been deleted as it is no longer used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-15 02:13:27 +08:00
|
|
|
* Python scripting
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-02 03:30:25 +08:00
|
|
|
** GDB commands implemented in Python can now be put in command class
|
|
|
|
|
"gdb.COMMAND_USER".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-15 02:13:27 +08:00
|
|
|
** The "maint set python print-stack on|off" is now deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-20 00:54:03 +08:00
|
|
|
** A new class, gdb.printing.FlagEnumerationPrinter, can be used to
|
|
|
|
|
apply "flag enum"-style pretty-printing to any enum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-08 03:42:27 +08:00
|
|
|
** gdb.lookup_symbol can now work when there is no current frame.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** gdb.Symbol now has a 'line' attribute, holding the line number in
|
|
|
|
|
the source at which the symbol was defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-08 03:47:16 +08:00
|
|
|
** gdb.Symbol now has the new attribute 'needs_frame' and the new
|
|
|
|
|
method 'value'. The former indicates whether the symbol needs a
|
|
|
|
|
frame in order to compute its value, and the latter computes the
|
|
|
|
|
symbol's value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-22 16:10:44 +08:00
|
|
|
** A new method 'referenced_value' on gdb.Value objects which can
|
|
|
|
|
dereference pointer as well as C++ reference values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-05-03 15:07:26 +08:00
|
|
|
** New methods 'global_block' and 'static_block' on gdb.Symtab objects
|
|
|
|
|
which return the global and static blocks (as gdb.Block objects),
|
|
|
|
|
of the underlying symbol table, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-05-13 19:33:44 +08:00
|
|
|
** New function gdb.find_pc_line which returns the gdb.Symtab_and_line
|
|
|
|
|
object associated with a PC value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-27 08:21:21 +08:00
|
|
|
** gdb.Symtab_and_line has new attribute 'last' which holds the end
|
|
|
|
|
of the address range occupied by code for the current source line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-25 22:07:23 +08:00
|
|
|
* Go language support.
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports debugging programs written in the Go programming
|
|
|
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-12-17 03:06:38 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDBserver now supports stdio connections.
|
|
|
|
|
E.g. (gdb) target remote | ssh myhost gdbserver - hello
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-02 10:28:59 +08:00
|
|
|
* The binary "gdbtui" can no longer be built or installed.
|
|
|
|
|
Use "gdb -tui" instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-17 03:44:16 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB will now print "flag" enums specially. A flag enum is one where
|
|
|
|
|
all the enumerator values have no bits in common when pairwise
|
|
|
|
|
"and"ed. When printing a value whose type is a flag enum, GDB will
|
|
|
|
|
show all the constants, e.g., for enum E { ONE = 1, TWO = 2}:
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) print (enum E) 3
|
|
|
|
|
$1 = (ONE | TWO)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-17 04:40:53 +08:00
|
|
|
* The filename part of a linespec will now match trailing components
|
|
|
|
|
of a source file name. For example, "break gcc/expr.c:1000" will
|
|
|
|
|
now set a breakpoint in build/gcc/expr.c, but not
|
|
|
|
|
build/libcpp/expr.c.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-20 18:31:26 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "info proc" and "generate-core-file" commands will now also
|
|
|
|
|
work on remote targets connected to GDBserver on Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-24 23:13:30 +08:00
|
|
|
* The command "info catch" has been removed. It has been disabled
|
|
|
|
|
since December 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-02 02:12:43 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "catch exception" and "catch assert" commands now accept
|
|
|
|
|
a condition at the end of the command, much like the "break"
|
|
|
|
|
command does. For instance:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) catch exception Constraint_Error if Barrier = True
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Previously, it was possible to add a condition to such catchpoints,
|
|
|
|
|
but it had to be done as a second step, after the catchpoint had been
|
|
|
|
|
created, using the "condition" command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-03 17:51:29 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "info static-tracepoint-marker" command will now also work on
|
|
|
|
|
native Linux targets with in-process agent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-17 00:47:34 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB can now set breakpoints on inlined functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The .gdb_index section has been updated to include symbols for
|
|
|
|
|
inlined functions. GDB will ignore older .gdb_index sections by
|
|
|
|
|
default, which could cause symbol files to be loaded more slowly
|
2012-07-21 01:38:05 +08:00
|
|
|
until their .gdb_index sections can be recreated. The new command
|
|
|
|
|
"set use-deprecated-index-sections on" will cause GDB to use any older
|
|
|
|
|
.gdb_index sections it finds. This will restore performance, but the
|
|
|
|
|
ability to set breakpoints on inlined functions will be lost in symbol
|
|
|
|
|
files with older .gdb_index sections.
|
2012-03-17 00:47:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2012-06-24 06:23:47 +08:00
|
|
|
The .gdb_index section has also been updated to record more information
|
|
|
|
|
about each symbol. This speeds up the "info variables", "info functions"
|
|
|
|
|
and "info types" commands when used with programs having the .gdb_index
|
|
|
|
|
section, as well as speeding up debugging with shared libraries using
|
|
|
|
|
the .gdb_index section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-29 05:31:56 +08:00
|
|
|
* Ada support for GDB/MI Variable Objects has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-24 22:33:12 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB can now support 'breakpoint always-inserted mode' in 'record'
|
|
|
|
|
target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-05-24 08:33:47 +08:00
|
|
|
* MI changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** New command -info-os is the MI equivalent of "info os".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-29 06:11:23 +08:00
|
|
|
** Output logs ("set logging" and related) now include MI output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-25 05:39:18 +08:00
|
|
|
* New commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-07-21 01:38:05 +08:00
|
|
|
** "set use-deprecated-index-sections on|off"
|
|
|
|
|
"show use-deprecated-index-sections on|off"
|
|
|
|
|
Controls the use of deprecated .gdb_index sections.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-25 05:39:18 +08:00
|
|
|
** "catch load" and "catch unload" can be used to stop when a shared
|
|
|
|
|
library is loaded or unloaded, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-15 07:28:15 +08:00
|
|
|
** "enable count" can be used to auto-disable a breakpoint after
|
|
|
|
|
several hits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-16 00:32:16 +08:00
|
|
|
** "info vtbl" can be used to show the virtual method tables for
|
2012-03-15 23:43:18 +08:00
|
|
|
C++ and Java objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-11 13:50:44 +08:00
|
|
|
** "explore" and its sub commands "explore value" and "explore type"
|
2013-11-16 02:19:57 +08:00
|
|
|
can be used to recursively explore values and types of
|
2012-04-11 13:50:44 +08:00
|
|
|
expressions. These commands are available only if GDB is
|
|
|
|
|
configured with '--with-python'.

|
|
|
The z0/z1 breakpoint insertion packets have been extended to carry
|
|
|
|
|
a list of conditional expressions over to the remote stub depending on the
|
|
|
|
|
condition evaluation mode. The use of this extension can be controlled
|
|
|
|
|
via the "set remote conditional-breakpoints-packet" command.

2011-11-01 22:51:25 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now allows you to skip uninteresting functions and files when
|
|
|
|
|
stepping with the "skip function" and "skip file" commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-27 04:57:54 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB has two new commands: "set remote hardware-watchpoint-length-limit"
|
|
|
|
|
and "show remote hardware-watchpoint-length-limit". These allows to
|
|
|
|
|
set or show the maximum length limit (in bytes) of a remote
|
|
|
|
|
target hardware watchpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows e.g. to use "unlimited" hardware watchpoints with the
|
|
|
|
|
gdbserver integrated in Valgrind version >= 3.7.0. Such Valgrind
|
|
|
|
|
watchpoints are slower than real hardware watchpoints but are
|
|
|
|
|
significantly faster than gdb software watchpoints.

|
** The register_pretty_printer function in module gdb.printing now takes
|
2011-10-17 03:54:33 +08:00
|
|
|
an optional `replace' argument. If True, the new printer replaces any
|
2011-10-17 03:40:37 +08:00
|
|
|
existing one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-21 23:58:52 +08:00
|
|
|
** The "maint set python print-stack on|off" command has been
|
2012-01-15 02:13:27 +08:00
|
|
|
deprecated and will be deleted in GDB 7.5.
|
|
|
|
|
A new command: "set python print-stack none|full|message" has
|
|
|
|
|
replaced it. Additionally, the default for "print-stack" is
|
|
|
|
|
now "message", which just prints the error message without
|
|
|
|
|
the stack trace.
|
2011-07-21 23:58:52 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2011-10-24 19:49:26 +08:00
|
|
|
** A prompt substitution hook (prompt_hook) is now available to the
|
2011-07-21 23:58:52 +08:00
|
|
|
Python API.
|
2011-07-11 21:07:38 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2011-08-17 18:41:22 +08:00
|
|
|
** A new Python module, gdb.prompt has been added to the GDB Python
|
|
|
|
|
modules library. This module provides functionality for
|
2011-10-24 19:49:26 +08:00
|
|
|
escape sequences in prompts (used by set/show
|
2011-08-17 18:41:22 +08:00
|
|
|
extended-prompt). These escape sequences are replaced by their
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-09 20:45:40 +08:00
|
|
|
** Python commands and convenience-functions located in
|
|
|
|
|
'data-directory'/python/gdb/command and
|
|
|
|
|
'data-directory'/python/gdb/function are now automatically loaded
|
|
|
|
|
on GDB start-up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-20 20:31:30 +08:00
|
|
|
** Blocks now provide four new attributes. global_block and
|
|
|
|
|
static_block will return the global and static blocks
|
|
|
|
|
respectively. is_static and is_global are boolean attributes
|
|
|
|
|
that indicate if the block is one of those two types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-13 06:21:57 +08:00
|
|
|
** Symbols now provide the "type" attribute, the type of the symbol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-15 20:27:20 +08:00
|
|
|
** The "gdb.breakpoint" function has been deprecated in favor of
|
|
|
|
|
"gdb.breakpoints".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-12-24 01:06:16 +08:00
|
|
|
** A new class "gdb.FinishBreakpoint" is provided to catch the return
|
|
|
|
|
of a function. This class is based on the "finish" command
|
|
|
|
|
available in the CLI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-04 23:55:39 +08:00
|
|
|
** Type objects for struct and union types now allow access to
|
|
|
|
|
the fields using standard Python dictionary (mapping) methods.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, "some_type['myfield']" now works, as does
|
|
|
|
|
"some_type.items()".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-07 15:38:30 +08:00
|
|
|
** A new event "gdb.new_objfile" has been added, triggered by loading a
|
|
|
|
|
new object file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-28 22:48:38 +08:00
|
|
|
** A new function, "deep_items" has been added to the gdb.types
|
|
|
|
|
module in the GDB Python modules library. This function returns
|
|
|
|
|
an iterator over the fields of a struct or union type. Unlike
|
|
|
|
|
the standard Python "iteritems" method, it will recursively traverse
|
|
|
|
|
any anonymous fields.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-12-06 22:27:39 +08:00
|
|
|
* MI changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** "*stopped" events can report several new "reason"s, such as
|
|
|
|
|
"solib-event".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Breakpoint changes are now notified using new async records, like
|
|
|
|
|
"=breakpoint-modified".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** New command -ada-task-info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-14 06:36:07 +08:00
|
|
|
* libthread-db-search-path now supports two special values: $sdir and $pdir.
|
|
|
|
|
$sdir specifies the default system locations of shared libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
$pdir specifies the directory where the libpthread used by the application
|
|
|
|
|
lives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB no longer looks in $sdir and $pdir after it has searched the directories
|
|
|
|
|
mentioned in libthread-db-search-path. If you want to search those
|
|
|
|
|
directories, they must be specified in libthread-db-search-path.
|
|
|
|
|
The default value of libthread-db-search-path on GNU/Linux and Solaris
|
|
|
|
|
systems is now "$sdir:$pdir".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$pdir is not supported by gdbserver, it is currently ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
$sdir is supported by gdbserver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-10 05:49:57 +08:00
|
|
|
* New configure option --with-iconv-bin.
|
|
|
|
|
When using the internationalization support like the one in the GNU C
|
|
|
|
|
library, GDB will invoke the "iconv" program to get a list of supported
|
|
|
|
|
character sets. If this program lives in a non-standard location, one can
|
|
|
|
|
use this option to specify where to find it.

|
* When natively debugging programs on PowerPC BookE processors running
|
|
|
|
|
a Linux kernel version 2.6.34 or later, GDB supports masked hardware
|
|
|
|
|
watchpoints, which specify a mask in addition to an address to watch.
|
|
|
|
|
The mask specifies that some bits of an address (the bits which are
|
|
|
|
|
reset in the mask) should be ignored when matching the address accessed
|
|
|
|
|
by the inferior against the watchpoint address. See the "PowerPC Embedded"
|
|
|
|
|
section in the user manual for more details.

|
|
|
|
2011-04-24 16:02:21 +08:00

* Changed commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
watch EXPRESSION mask MASK_VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
The watch command now supports the mask argument which allows creation
|
|
|
|
|
of masked watchpoints, if the current architecture supports this feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-14 06:11:47 +08:00
|
|
|
info auto-load-scripts [REGEXP]
|
|
|
|
|
This command was formerly named "maintenance print section-scripts".
|
|
|
|
|
It is now generally useful and is no longer a maintenance-only command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-13 01:01:12 +08:00
|
|
|
info macro [-all] [--] MACRO
|
|
|
|
|
The info macro command has new options `-all' and `--'. The first for
|
|
|
|
|
printing all definitions of a macro. The second for explicitly specifying
|
|
|
|
|
the end of arguments and the beginning of the macro name in case the macro
|
|
|
|
|
name starts with a hyphen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-03 07:44:21 +08:00
|
|
|
collect[/s] EXPRESSIONS
|
|
|
|
|
The tracepoint collect command now takes an optional modifier "/s"
|
|
|
|
|
that directs it to dereference pointer-to-character types and
|
|
|
|
|
collect the bytes of memory up to a zero byte. The behavior is
|
|
|
|
|
similar to what you see when you use the regular print command on a
|
|
|
|
|
string. An optional integer following the "/s" sets a bound on the
|
|
|
|
|
number of bytes that will be collected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-21 07:59:49 +08:00
|
|
|
tstart [NOTES]
|
|
|
|
|
The trace start command now interprets any supplied arguments as a
|
|
|
|
|
note to be recorded with the trace run, with an effect similar to
|
|
|
|
|
setting the variable trace-notes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tstop [NOTES]
|
|
|
|
|
The trace stop command now interprets any arguments as a note to be
|
|
|
|
|
mentioned along with the tstatus report that the trace was stopped
|
|
|
|
|
with a command. The effect is similar to setting the variable
|
|
|
|
|
trace-stop-notes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-12 20:09:17 +08:00
|
|
|
* Tracepoints can now be enabled and disabled at any time after a trace
|
|
|
|
|
experiment has been started using the standard "enable" and "disable"
|
|
|
|
|
commands. It is now possible to start a trace experiment with no enabled
|
|
|
|
|
tracepoints; GDB will display a warning, but will allow the experiment to
|
|
|
|
|
begin, assuming that tracepoints will be enabled as needed while the trace
|
|
|
|
|
is running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-15 04:07:25 +08:00
|
|
|
* Fast tracepoints on 32-bit x86-architectures can now be placed at
|
|
|
|
|
locations with 4-byte instructions, when they were previously
|
|
|
|
|
limited to locations with instructions of 5 bytes or longer.
|

|
|
|
set debug dwarf2-read
|
|
|
|
|
show debug dwarf2-read
|
|
|
|
|
Turns on or off display of debugging messages related to reading
|
|
|
|
|
DWARF debug info. The default is off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
show debug symtab-create

|
|
|
set extended-prompt
|
|
|
|
|
show extended-prompt
|
|
|
|
|
Set the GDB prompt, and allow escape sequences to be inserted to
|
|
|
|
|
display miscellaneous information (see 'help set extended-prompt'
|
|
|
|
|
for the list of sequences). This prompt (and any information
|
|
|
|
|
accessed through the escape sequences) is updated every time the
|
|
|
|
|
prompt is displayed.
|
|
|
|

|
set print entry-values (both|compact|default|if-needed|no|only|preferred)
|
|
|
|
|
show print entry-values
|
|
|
|
|
Set printing of frame argument values at function entry. In some cases
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can determine the value of function argument which was passed by the
|
|
|
|
|
function caller, even if the value was modified inside the called function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set debug entry-values
|
|
|
|
|
show debug entry-values
|
|
|
|
|
Control display of debugging info for determining frame argument values at
|
|
|
|
|
function entry and virtual tail call frames.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-16 01:40:02 +08:00
|
|
|
set basenames-may-differ
|
|
|
|
|
show basenames-may-differ
|
|
|
|
|
Set whether a source file may have multiple base names.
|
|
|
|
|
(A "base name" is the name of a file with the directory part removed.
|
|
|
|
|
Example: The base name of "/home/user/hello.c" is "hello.c".)
|
|
|
|
|
If set, GDB will canonicalize file names (e.g., expand symlinks)
|
|
|
|
|
before comparing them. Canonicalization is an expensive operation,
|
|
|
|
|
but it allows the same file be known by more than one base name.
|
|
|
|
|
If not set (the default), all source files are assumed to have just
|
|
|
|
|
one base name, and gdb will do file name comparisons more efficiently.
|
|
|

|
|
set trace-notes
|
|
|
|
|
show trace-notes
|
|
|
|
|
Set a user name and notes for the current and any future trace runs.
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful for long-running and/or disconnected traces, to
|
|
|
|
|
inform others (or yourself) as to who is running the trace, supply
|
|
|
|
|
contact information, or otherwise explain what is going on.

*** Changes in GDB 7.3.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The build failure for NetBSD and OpenBSD targets have now been fixed.

*** Changes in GDB 7.3
|
2010-07-08 01:52:37 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2011-02-16 05:17:53 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB has a new command: "thread find [REGEXP]".
|
|
|
|
|
It finds the thread id whose name, target id, or thread extra info
|
|
|
|
|
matches the given regular expression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-02-05 02:45:15 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "catch syscall" command now works on mips*-linux* targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-12 23:02:12 +08:00
|
|
|
* The -data-disassemble MI command now supports modes 2 and 3 for
|
|
|
|
|
dumping the instruction opcodes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-12-08 01:26:06 +08:00
|
|
|
* New command line options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-data-directory DIR Specify DIR as the "data-directory".
|
|
|
|
|
This is mostly for testing purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-12-16 01:28:00 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "maint set python auto-load on|off" command has been renamed to
|
|
|
|
|
"set auto-load-scripts on|off".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-11-06 00:55:40 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB has a new command: "set directories".
|
|
|
|
|
It is like the "dir" command except that it replaces the
|
|
|
|
|
source path list instead of augmenting it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-20 01:21:39 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now understands thread names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On GNU/Linux, "info threads" will display the thread name as set by
|
|
|
|
|
prctl or pthread_setname_np.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a new command, "thread name", which can be used to
|
|
|
|
|
assign a name internally for GDB to display.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-11-05 22:31:30 +08:00
|
|
|
* OpenCL C
|
|
|
|
|
Initial support for the OpenCL C language (http://www.khronos.org/opencl)
|
|
|
|
|
has been integrated into GDB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-03 17:38:16 +08:00
|
|
|
* Python scripting
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-22 18:04:23 +08:00
|
|
|
** The function gdb.Write now accepts an optional keyword 'stream'.
|
|
|
|
|
This keyword, when provided, will direct the output to either
|
|
|
|
|
stdout, stderr, or GDB's logging output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-16 17:49:44 +08:00
|
|
|
** Parameters can now be be sub-classed in Python, and in particular
|
|
|
|
|
you may implement the get_set_doc and get_show_doc functions.
|
|
|
|
|
This improves how Parameter set/show documentation is processed
|
|
|
|
|
and allows for more dynamic content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-17 17:36:17 +08:00
|
|
|
** Symbols, Symbol Table, Symbol Table and Line, Object Files,
|
|
|
|
|
Inferior, Inferior Thread, Blocks, and Block Iterator APIs now
|
|
|
|
|
have an is_valid method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-15 05:45:21 +08:00
|
|
|
** Breakpoints can now be sub-classed in Python, and in particular
|
|
|
|
|
you may implement a 'stop' function that is executed each time
|
|
|
|
|
the inferior reaches that breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-02-23 06:48:12 +08:00
|
|
|
** New function gdb.lookup_global_symbol looks up a global symbol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-03 17:38:16 +08:00
|
|
|
** GDB values in Python are now callable if the value represents a
|
|
|
|
|
function. For example, if 'some_value' represents a function that
|
|
|
|
|
takes two integer parameters and returns a value, you can call
|
|
|
|
|
that function like so:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
result = some_value (10,20)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-10-14 04:08:46 +08:00
|
|
|
** Module gdb.types has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
It contains a collection of utilities for working with gdb.Types objects:
|
|
|
|
|
get_basic_type, has_field, make_enum_dict.
|
|
|
|
|
|

2011-02-05 05:54:16 +08:00
|
|
|
** Python Support for Inferior events.
|
|
|
|
|
Python scripts can add observers to be notified of events
|
2011-03-15 01:48:54 +08:00
|
|
|
occurring in the process being debugged.
|
2011-02-05 13:27:23 +08:00
|
|
|
The following events are currently supported:
|
|
|
|
|
- gdb.events.cont Continue event.
|
|
|
|
|
- gdb.events.exited Inferior exited event.
|
|
|
|
|
- gdb.events.stop Signal received, and Breakpoint hit events.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-18 05:34:12 +08:00
|
|
|
* C++ Improvements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** GDB now puts template parameters in scope when debugging in an
|
|
|
|
|
instantiation. For example, if you have:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
template<int X> int func (void) { return X; }
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then if you step into func<5>, "print X" will show "5". This
|
|
|
|
|
feature requires proper debuginfo support from the compiler; it
|
|
|
|
|
was added to GCC 4.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-12-11 04:33:44 +08:00
|
|
|
** The motion commands "next", "finish", "until", and "advance" now
|
|
|
|
|
work better when exceptions are thrown. In particular, GDB will
|
|
|
|
|
no longer lose control of the inferior; instead, the GDB will
|
|
|
|
|
stop the inferior at the point at which the exception is caught.
|
|
|
|
|
This functionality requires a change in the exception handling
|
|
|
|
|
code that was introduced in GCC 4.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-12-02 00:49:41 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now follows GCC's rules on accessing volatile objects when
|
|
|
|
|
reading or writing target state during expression evaluation.
|
|
|
|
|
One notable difference to prior behavior is that "print x = 0"
|
|
|
|
|
no longer generates a read of x; the value of the assignment is
|
|
|
|
|
now always taken directly from the value being assigned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-07-28 04:44:33 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now has some support for using labels in the program's source in
|
|
|
|
|
linespecs. For instance, you can use "advance label" to continue
|
|
|
|
|
execution to a label.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GDB now has support for reading and writing a new .gdb_index
|
|
|
|
|
section. This section holds a fast index of DWARF debugging
|
|
|
|
|
information and can be used to greatly speed up GDB startup and
|
|
|
|
|
operation. See the documentation for `save gdb-index' for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-17 05:15:46 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "watch" command now accepts an optional "-location" argument.
|
2010-08-17 05:19:29 +08:00
|
|
|
When used, this causes GDB to watch the memory referred to by the
|
2010-08-17 05:15:46 +08:00
|
|
|
expression. Such a watchpoint is never deleted due to it going out
|
|
|
|
|
of scope.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-27 03:47:23 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now supports thread debugging of core dumps on GNU/Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now activates thread debugging using the libthread_db library
|
|
|
|
|
when debugging GNU/Linux core dumps, similarly to when debugging
|
|
|
|
|
live processes. As a result, when debugging a core dump file, GDB
|
|
|
|
|
is now able to display pthread_t ids of threads. For example, "info
|
|
|
|
|
threads" shows the same output as when debugging the process when it
|
|
|
|
|
was live. In earlier releases, you'd see something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) info threads
|
|
|
|
|
* 1 LWP 6780 main () at main.c:10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While now you see this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) info threads
|
|
|
|
|
* 1 Thread 0x7f0f5712a700 (LWP 6780) main () at main.c:10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also now possible to inspect TLS variables when debugging core
|
|
|
|
|
dumps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When debugging a core dump generated on a machine other than the one
|
|
|
|
|
used to run GDB, you may need to point GDB at the correct
|
|
|
|
|
libthread_db library with the "set libthread-db-search-path"
|
|
|
|
|
command. See the user manual for more details on this command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-31 22:32:49 +08:00
|
|
|
* When natively debugging programs on PowerPC BookE processors running
|
|
|
|
|
a Linux kernel version 2.6.34 or later, GDB supports ranged breakpoints,
|
|
|
|
|
which stop execution of the inferior whenever it executes an instruction
|
|
|
|
|
at any address within the specified range. See the "PowerPC Embedded"
|
|
|
|
|
section in the user manual for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-09-02 04:47:02 +08:00
|
|
|
* New features in the GDB remote stub, GDBserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-09-14 04:37:34 +08:00
|
|
|
** GDBserver is now supported on PowerPC LynxOS (versions 4.x and 5.x),
|
|
|
|
|
and i686 LynxOS (version 5.x).

|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-20 04:41:11 +08:00
|
|
|
* New native configurations

* Shared library support for remote targets by default
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When GDB is configured for a generic, non-OS specific target, like
|
|
|
|
|
for example, --target=arm-eabi or one of the many *-*-elf targets,
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now queries remote stubs for loaded shared libraries using the
|
|
|
|
|
`qXfer:libraries:read' packet. Previously, shared library support
|
|
|
|
|
was always disabled for such configurations.

|
* C++ Improvements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Argument Dependent Lookup (ADL)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In C++ ADL lookup directs function search to the namespaces of its
|
|
|
|
|
arguments even if the namespace has not been imported.
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
namespace A
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
class B { };
|
|
|
|
|
void foo (B) { }
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
A::B b
|
|
|
|
|
foo(b)
|
|
|
|
|
Here the compiler will search for `foo' in the namespace of 'b'
|
|
|
|
|
and find A::foo. GDB now supports this. This construct is commonly
|
|
|
|
|
used in the Standard Template Library for operators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Improved User Defined Operator Support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to member operators, GDB now supports lookup of operators
|
|
|
|
|
defined in a namespace and imported with a `using' directive, operators
|
|
|
|
|
defined in the global scope, operators imported implicitly from an
|
|
|
|
|
anonymous namespace, and the ADL operators mentioned in the previous
|
|
|
|
|
entry.
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now also supports proper overload resolution for all the previously
|
|
|
|
|
mentioned flavors of operators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-30 00:53:10 +08:00
|
|
|
** static const class members
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Printing of static const class members that are initialized in the
|
|
|
|
|
class definition has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-16 15:49:37 +08:00
|
|
|
* Windows Thread Information Block access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows targets, GDB now supports displaying the Windows Thread
|
|
|
|
|
Information Block (TIB) structure. This structure is visible either
|
|
|
|
|
by using the new command `info w32 thread-information-block' or, by
|
|
|
|
|
dereferencing the new convenience variable named `$_tlb', a
|
|
|
|
|
thread-specific pointer to the TIB. This feature is also supported
|
|
|
|
|
when remote debugging using GDBserver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Static tracepoints support, and UST integration.

* Static tracepoints
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Static tracepoints are calls in the user program into a tracing
|
|
|
|
|
library. One such library is a port of the LTTng kernel tracer to
|
|
|
|
|
userspace --- UST (LTTng Userspace Tracer, http://lttng.org/ust).
|
|
|
|
|
When debugging with GDBserver, GDB now supports combining the GDB
|
|
|
|
|
tracepoint machinery with such libraries. For example: the user can
|
|
|
|
|
use GDB to probe a static tracepoint marker (a call from the user
|
|
|
|
|
program into the tracing library) with the new "strace" command (see
|
|
|
|
|
"New commands" below). This creates a "static tracepoint" in the
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoint list, that can be manipulated with the same feature set
|
|
|
|
|
as fast and regular tracepoints. E.g., collect registers, local and
|
|
|
|
|
global variables, collect trace state variables, and define
|
|
|
|
|
tracepoint conditions. In addition, the user can collect extra
|
|
|
|
|
static tracepoint marker specific data, by collecting the new
|
|
|
|
|
$_sdata internal variable. When analyzing the trace buffer, you can
|
|
|
|
|
inspect $_sdata like any other variable available to GDB. For more
|
|
|
|
|
information, see the "Tracepoints" chapter in GDB user manual. New
|
|
|
|
|
remote packets have been defined to support static tracepoints, see
|
|
|
|
|
the "New remote packets" section below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-20 07:43:31 +08:00
|
|
|
* Better reconstruction of tracepoints after disconnected tracing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB will attempt to download the original source form of tracepoint
|
|
|
|
|
definitions when starting a trace run, and then will upload these
|
|
|
|
|
upon reconnection to the target, resulting in a more accurate
|
|
|
|
|
reconstruction of the tracepoints that are in use on the target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Observer mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now exercise direct control over the ways that GDB can
|
|
|
|
|
affect your program. For instance, you can disallow the setting of
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints, so that the program can run continuously (assuming
|
|
|
|
|
non-stop mode). In addition, the "observer" variable is available
|
|
|
|
|
to switch all of the different controls; in observer mode, GDB
|
|
|
|
|
cannot affect the target's behavior at all, which is useful for
|
|
|
|
|
tasks like diagnosing live systems in the field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The new convenience variable $_thread holds the number of the
|
|
|
|
|
current thread.

qGetTIBAddr
|

|
|
|
qRelocInsn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In response to several of the tracepoint packets, the target may now
|
|
|
|
|
also respond with a number of intermediate `qRelocInsn' request
|
|
|
|
|
packets before the final result packet, to have GDB handle
|
|
|
|
|
relocating an instruction to execute at a different address. This
|
|
|
|
|
is particularly useful for stubs that support fast tracepoints. GDB
|
|
|
|
|
reports support for this feature in the qSupported packet.

2010-07-01 18:36:12 +08:00

|
|
- GDBserver now support tracepoints (including fast tracepoints, and
|
|
|
|
|
static tracepoints). The feature is currently supported by the
|
|
|
|
|
i386-linux and amd64-linux builds. See the "Tracepoints support
|
|
|
|
|
in gdbserver" section in the manual for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDBserver JIT compiles the tracepoint's conditional agent
|
|
|
|
|
expression bytecode into native code whenever possible for low
|
|
|
|
|
overhead dynamic tracepoints conditionals. For such tracepoints,
|
|
|
|
|
an expression that examines program state is evaluated when the
|
|
|
|
|
tracepoint is reached, in order to determine whether to capture
|
|
|
|
|
trace data. If the condition is simple and false, processing the
|
|
|
|
|
tracepoint finishes very quickly and no data is gathered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDBserver interfaces with the UST (LTTng Userspace Tracer) library
|
|
|
|
|
for static tracepoints support.
|
2010-04-09 23:26:54 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-30 15:04:52 +08:00
|
|
|
- GDBserver now supports x86_64 Windows 64-bit debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-30 23:45:16 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now sends xmlRegisters= in qSupported packet to indicate that
|
|
|
|
|
it understands register description.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-09 03:20:38 +08:00
|
|
|
* The --batch flag now disables pagination and queries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-04 04:19:50 +08:00
|
|
|
* X86 general purpose registers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports reading/writing byte, word and double-word x86
|
|
|
|
|
general purpose registers directly. This means you can use, say,
|
|
|
|
|
$ah or $ax to refer, respectively, to the byte register AH and
|
|
|
|
|
16-bit word register AX that are actually portions of the 32-bit
|
|
|
|
|
register EAX or 64-bit register RAX.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-25 05:24:09 +08:00
|
|
|
* The `commands' command now accepts a range of breakpoints to modify.
|
2010-04-01 22:11:24 +08:00
|
|
|
A plain `commands' following a command that creates multiple
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints affects all the breakpoints set by that command. This
|
|
|
|
|
applies to breakpoints set by `rbreak', and also applies when a
|
|
|
|
|
single `break' command creates multiple breakpoints (e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints on overloaded c++ functions).
|
2010-03-25 05:24:09 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2010-04-23 20:08:07 +08:00
|
|
|
* The `rbreak' command now accepts a filename specification as part of
|
|
|
|
|
its argument, limiting the functions selected by the regex to those
|
|
|
|
|
in the specified file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-24 21:12:56 +08:00
|
|
|
* Support for remote debugging Windows and SymbianOS shared libraries
|
|
|
|
|
from Unix hosts has been improved. Non Windows GDB builds now can
|
|
|
|
|
understand target reported file names that follow MS-DOS based file
|
|
|
|
|
system semantics, such as file names that include drive letters and
|
|
|
|
|
use the backslash character as directory separator. This makes it
|
|
|
|
|
possible to transparently use the "set sysroot" and "set
|
|
|
|
|
solib-search-path" on Unix hosts to point as host copies of the
|
|
|
|
|
target's shared libraries. See the new command "set
|
|
|
|
|
target-file-system-kind" described below, and the "Commands to
|
|
|
|
|
specify files" section in the user manual for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-19 08:48:44 +08:00
|
|
|
* New commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-24 14:12:15 +08:00
|
|
|
eval template, expressions...
|
|
|
|
|
Convert the values of one or more expressions under the control
|
|
|
|
|
of the string template to a command line, and call it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-24 21:12:56 +08:00
|
|
|
set target-file-system-kind unix|dos-based|auto
|
|
|
|
|
show target-file-system-kind
|
|
|
|
|
Set or show the assumed file system kind for target reported file
|
|
|
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-19 08:48:44 +08:00
|
|
|
save breakpoints <filename>
|
|
|
|
|
Save all current breakpoint definitions to a file suitable for use
|
|
|
|
|
in a later debugging session. To read the saved breakpoint
|
|
|
|
|
definitions, use the `source' command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`save tracepoints' is a new alias for `save-tracepoints'. The latter
|
|
|
|
|
is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
|
|

For instance, disabling the writing of memory can prevent
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints from being inserted, cause single-stepping to fail, or
|
|
|
|
|
even crash your program, if you disable after breakpoints have been

** GDB now provides a new directory location, called the python directory,
|
|
|
|
|
where Python scripts written for GDB can be installed. The location
|
|
|
|
|
of that directory is <data-directory>/python, where <data-directory>
|
|
|
|
|
is the GDB data directory. For more details, see section `Scripting

|
for a OBJFILE-gdb.py script when OBJFILE is read by the debugger.

|
|
|
|
2010-03-24 05:32:28 +08:00
|
|
|
* Tracepoint actions were unified with breakpoint commands. In particular,
|
|
|
|
|
there are no longer differences in "info break" output for breakpoints and
|
|
|
|
|
tracepoints and the "commands" command can be used for both tracepoints and
|
|
|
|
|
regular breakpoints.

2010-04-29 22:45:39 +08:00
|
|
|
* D language support.
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports debugging programs written in the D programming
|
|
|
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-07-17 07:19:37 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now supports the extended ptrace interface for PowerPC which is
|
|
|
|
|
available since Linux kernel version 2.6.34. This automatically enables
|
|
|
|
|
any hardware breakpoints and additional hardware watchpoints available in
|
|
|
|
|
the processor. The old ptrace interface exposes just one hardware
|
|
|
|
|
watchpoint and no hardware breakpoints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GDB is now able to use the Data Value Compare (DVC) register available on
|
|
|
|
|
embedded PowerPC processors to implement in hardware simple watchpoint
|
|
|
|
|
conditions of the form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
watch ADDRESS|VARIABLE if ADDRESS|VARIABLE == CONSTANT EXPRESSION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This works in native GDB running on Linux kernels with the extended ptrace
|
|
|
|
|
interface mentioned above.

* C++ Improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Namespace Support
|
2010-02-16 23:52:47 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports importing of namespaces in C++. This enables the
|
|
|
|
|
user to inspect variables from imported namespaces. Support for
|
|
|
|
|
namepace aliasing has also been added. So, if a namespace is
|
|
|
|
|
aliased in the current scope (e.g. namepace C=A; ) the user can
|
|
|
|
|
print variables using the alias (e.g. (gdb) print C::x).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-02-18 04:08:24 +08:00
|
|
|
** Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All known bugs relating to the printing of virtual base class were
|
|
|
|
|
fixed. It is now possible to call overloaded static methods using a
|
|
|
|
|
qualified name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Cast Operators
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The C++ cast operators static_cast<>, dynamic_cast<>, const_cast<>,
|
|
|
|
|
and reinterpret_cast<> are now handled by the C++ expression parser.

* Multi-program debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has support for multi-program (a.k.a. multi-executable or
|
|
|
|
|
multi-exec) debugging. This allows for debugging multiple inferiors
|
|
|
|
|
simultaneously each running a different program under the same GDB
|
|
|
|
|
session. See "Debugging Multiple Inferiors and Programs" in the
|
|
|
|
|
manual for more information. This implied some user visible changes
|
|
|
|
|
in the multi-inferior support. For example, "info inferiors" now
|
|
|
|
|
lists inferiors that are not running yet or that have exited
|
|
|
|
|
already. See also "New commands" and "New options" below.
|
|

|

|
* New tracing features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's tracepoint facility now includes several new features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Trace state variables
|
2009-12-29 07:39:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB tracepoints now include support for trace state variables, which
|
|
|
|
|
are variables managed by the target agent during a tracing
|
|
|
|
|
experiment. They are useful for tracepoints that trigger each
|
|
|
|
|
other, so for instance one tracepoint can count hits in a variable,
|
|
|
|
|
and then a second tracepoint has a condition that is true when the
|
|
|
|
|
count reaches a particular value. Trace state variables share the
|
|
|
|
|
$-syntax of GDB convenience variables, and can appear in both
|
|
|
|
|
tracepoint actions and condition expressions. Use the "tvariable"
|
|
|
|
|
command to create, and "info tvariables" to view; see "Trace State
|
|
|
|
|
Variables" in the manual for more detail.
|

|
2010-01-07 04:31:28 +08:00
|
|
|
** Fast tracepoints
|
2010-01-06 12:20:27 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes an option for defining fast tracepoints, which
|
|
|
|
|
targets may implement more efficiently, such as by installing a jump
|
|
|
|
|
into the target agent rather than a trap instruction. The resulting
|
|
|
|
|
speedup can be by two orders of magnitude or more, although the
|
|
|
|
|
tradeoff is that some program locations on some target architectures
|
|
|
|
|
might not allow fast tracepoint installation, for instance if the
|
|
|
|
|
instruction to be replaced is shorter than the jump. To request a
|
|
|
|
|
fast tracepoint, use the "ftrace" command, with syntax identical to
|
|
|
|
|
the regular trace command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-01-07 04:31:28 +08:00
|
|
|
** Disconnected tracing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to detach GDB from the target while it is running
|
|
|
|
|
a trace experiment, then reconnect later to see how the experiment
|
|
|
|
|
is going. In addition, a new variable disconnected-tracing lets you
|
|
|
|
|
tell the target agent whether to continue running a trace if the
|
|
|
|
|
connection is lost unexpectedly.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
** Trace files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has the ability to save the trace buffer into a file, and
|
|
|
|
|
then use that file as a target, similarly to you can do with
|
|
|
|
|
corefiles. You can select trace frames, print data that was
|
|
|
|
|
collected in them, and use tstatus to display the state of the
|
|
|
|
|
tracing run at the moment that it was saved. To create a trace
|
|
|
|
|
file, use "tsave <filename>", and to use it, do "target tfile
|
|
|
|
|
<name>".
|
2010-03-19 05:23:35 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Circular trace buffer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can ask the target agent to handle the trace buffer as a
|
|
|
|
|
circular buffer, discarding the oldest trace frames to make room for
|
|
|
|
|
newer ones, by setting circular-trace-buffer to on. This feature may
|
|
|
|
|
not be available for all target agents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-11-24 02:44:11 +08:00
|
|
|
* Changed commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disassemble
|
|
|
|
|
The disassemble command, when invoked with two arguments, now requires
|
|
|
|
|
the arguments to be comma-separated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-12-29 05:29:53 +08:00
|
|
|
info variables
|
|
|
|
|
The info variables command now displays variable definitions. Files
|
|
|
|
|
which only declare a variable are not shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-01-19 18:19:22 +08:00
|
|
|
source
|
|
|
|
|
The source command is now capable of sourcing Python scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
This feature is dependent on the debugger being build with Python
|
|
|
|
|
support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Related to this enhancement is also the introduction of a new command
|
|
|
|
|
"set script-extension" (see below).

Ctrl-C is a default. Some system prefers BREAK which is high level of
|
|
|
|
|
serial line for some certain time. Linux kernel prefers BREAK-g, a.k.a
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Define a list of expressions to be collected at each tracepoint.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, the target is instructed to continue tracing if it
|
|
|

|
loses its connection to GDB. If 0, the target is to stop tracing
|
|
|
|
|
upon disconnection.

|
|
show circular-trace-buffer
|
|
|
|
|
If set to on, the target is instructed to use a circular trace buffer
|
|
|
|
|
and discard the oldest trace frames instead of stopping the trace due
|
|
|
|
|
to a full trace buffer. If set to off, the trace stops when the buffer

|
|
|
|
|
If set to "off", the debugger does not perform any script language
|
|

|
recognition, and all sourced files are assumed to be GDB scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
If set to "soft" (the default), files are sourced according to
|
|
|
|
|
filename extension, falling back to GDB scripts if the first
|
|

* Python API Improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** GDB provides the new class gdb.LazyString. This is useful in
|
|
|
|
|
some pretty-printing cases. The new method gdb.Value.lazy_string
|
|
|
|
|
provides a simple way to create objects of this type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** The fields returned by gdb.Type.fields now have an
|
|
|
|
|
`is_base_class' attribute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** The new method gdb.Type.range returns the range of an array type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** The new method gdb.parse_and_eval can be used to parse and
|
|
|
|
|
evaluate an expression.

* Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Process record now works correctly with hardware watchpoints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-01-10 14:43:01 +08:00
|
|
|
Multiple bug fixes have been made to the mips-irix port, making it
|
|
|
|
|
much more reliable. In particular:
|
|
|
|
|
- Debugging threaded applications is now possible again. Previously,
|
|
|
|
|
GDB would hang while starting the program, or while waiting for
|
|
|
|
|
the program to stop at a breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
- Attaching to a running process no longer hangs.
|
|
|
|
|
- An error occurring while loading a core file has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
- Changing the value of the PC register now works again. This fixes
|
|
|
|
|
problems observed when using the "jump" command, or when calling
|
|
|
|
|
a function from GDB, or even when assigning a new value to $pc.
|
|
|
|
|
- With the "finish" and "return" commands, the return value for functions
|
|
|
|
|
returning a small array is now correctly printed.
|
|
|
|
|
- It is now possible to break on shared library code which gets executed
|
|
|
|
|
during a shared library init phase (code executed while executing
|
|
|
|
|
their .init section). Previously, the breakpoint would have no effect.
|
|
|
|
|
- GDB is now able to backtrace through the signal handler for
|
|
|
|
|
non-threaded programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-01-15 05:24:05 +08:00
|
|

PIE (Position Independent Executable) programs debugging is now supported.

|
|
|
|
This includes debugging execution of PIC (Position Independent Code) shared
|
|
|
|
|
libraries although for that, it should be possible to run such libraries as an
|
|
|
|
|
executable program.

*** Changes in GDB 7.0
|
2008-02-28 04:50:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2009-08-21 02:02:48 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now has an interface for JIT compilation. Applications that
|
|
|
|
|
dynamically generate code can create symbol files in memory and register
|
|
|
|
|
them with GDB. For users, the feature should work transparently, and
|
|
|
|
|
for JIT developers, the interface is documented in the GDB manual in the
|
|
|
|
|
"JIT Compilation Interface" chapter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-15 05:40:34 +08:00
|
|
|
* Tracepoints may now be conditional. The syntax is as for
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints; either an "if" clause appended to the "trace" command,
|
|
|
|
|
or the "condition" command is available. GDB sends the condition to
|
|
|
|
|
the target for evaluation using the same bytecode format as is used
|
|
|
|
|
for tracepoint actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-07-28 04:33:40 +08:00
|
|
|
* The disassemble command now supports: an optional /r modifier, print the
|
|
|
|
|
raw instructions in hex as well as in symbolic form, and an optional /m
|
|
|
|
|
modifier to print mixed source+assembly.
|

2009-05-06 10:32:42 +08:00
|
|
|
* Process record and replay
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a architecture environment that supports ``process record and
|
|
|
|
|
replay'', ``process record and replay'' target can record a log of
|
|
|
|
|
the process execution, and replay it with both forward and reverse
|
|
|
|
|
execute commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-06 02:13:37 +08:00
|
|
|
* Reverse debugging: GDB now has new commands reverse-continue, reverse-
|
|
|
|
|
step, reverse-next, reverse-finish, reverse-stepi, reverse-nexti, and
|
|
|
|
|
set execution-direction {forward|reverse}, for targets that support
|
|
|
|
|
reverse execution.

2009-03-21 07:04:40 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now has support for multi-byte and wide character sets on the
|
|
|
|
|
target. Strings whose character type is wchar_t, char16_t, or
|
|
|
|
|
char32_t are now correctly printed. GDB supports wide- and unicode-
|
|
|
|
|
literals in C, that is, L'x', L"string", u'x', u"string", U'x', and
|
|
|
|
|
U"string" syntax. And, GDB allows the "%ls" and "%lc" formats in
|
|
|
|
|
`printf'. This feature requires iconv to work properly; if your
|
|
|
|
|
system does not have a working iconv, GDB can use GNU libiconv. See
|
|
|
|
|
the installation instructions for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-08-27 01:30:35 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now supports automatic retrieval of shared library files from
|
|
|
|
|
remote targets. To use this feature, specify a system root that begins
|
|
|
|
|
with the `remote:' prefix, either via the `set sysroot' command or via
|
|
|
|
|
the `--with-sysroot' configure-time option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-08-28 05:56:38 +08:00
|
|
|
* "info sharedlibrary" now takes an optional regex of libraries to show,
|
|
|
|
|
and it now reports if a shared library has no debugging information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-07-05 06:30:19 +08:00
|
|
|
* Commands `set debug-file-directory', `set solib-search-path' and `set args'
|
|
|
|
|
now complete on file names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-06-07 04:58:08 +08:00
|
|
|
* When completing in expressions, gdb will attempt to limit
|
|
|
|
|
completions to allowable structure or union fields, where appropriate.
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, consider:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# struct example { int f1; double f2; };
|
|
|
|
|
# struct example variable;
|
|
|
|
|
(gdb) p variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the user types TAB at the end of this command line, the available
|
|
|
|
|
completions will be "f1" and "f2".
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GDB can now display the VFP floating point registers and NEON vector
|
|
|
|
|
registers on ARM targets. Both ARM GNU/Linux native GDB and gdbserver
|
|
|
|

QStartNoAckMode
|
|
|
|
|
Turn off `+'/`-' protocol acknowledgments to permit more efficient
|
|
|
|
|
operation over reliable transport links. Use of this packet is
|
|
|
|
|
controlled by the `set remote noack-packet' command.
|

|
|
|
2009-04-18 22:54:00 +08:00
|
|
|
vKill
|
|
|
|
|
Kill the process with the specified process ID. Use this in preference
|
|
|

* Removed remote protocol undocumented extension
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An undocumented extension to the remote protocol's `S' stop reply
|
|
|
|
|
packet that permited the stub to pass a process id was removed.
|
|
|
|
|
Remote servers should use the `T' stop reply packet instead.

|
2008-04-22 19:03:42 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now supports multiple function calling conventions according to the
|
2008-05-02 02:50:14 +08:00
|
|
|
DWARF-2 DW_AT_calling_convention function attribute.
|
2008-04-22 19:03:42 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The SH target utilizes the aforementioned change to distinguish between gcc
|
2008-05-02 02:50:14 +08:00
|
|
|
and Renesas calling convention. It also adds the new CLI commands
|
|
|
|
|
`set/show sh calling-convention'.
|
2008-04-22 19:03:42 +08:00

|
|
|
|
|
2008-03-11 07:14:06 +08:00
|
|
|
* Watchpoints can now be set on unreadable memory locations, e.g. addresses
|
|
|
|
|
which will be allocated using malloc later in program execution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-03-15 06:30:07 +08:00
|
|
|
* The qXfer:libraries:read remote procotol packet now allows passing a
|
2008-04-20 08:03:25 +08:00
|
|
|
list of section offsets.

|
|
|
|
2008-05-02 02:50:14 +08:00
|
|
|
* On GNU/Linux, GDB can now attach to stopped processes. Several race
|
|
|
|
|
conditions handling signals delivered during attach or thread creation
|
|
|
|
|
have also been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-08-19 18:36:43 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now supports the use of DWARF boolean types for Ada's type Boolean.
|
2008-08-21 17:05:32 +08:00
|
|
|
From the user's standpoint, all unqualified instances of True and False
|
|
|
|
|
are treated as the standard definitions, regardless of context.
|
2008-08-19 18:36:43 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2009-04-01 04:21:08 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB now parses C++ symbol and type names more flexibly. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, given:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
template<typename T> class C { };
|
|
|
|
|
C<char const *> c;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB will now correctly handle all of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ptype C<char const *>
|
|
|
|
|
ptype C<char const*>
|
|
|
|
|
ptype C<const char *>
|
|
|
|
|
ptype C<const char*>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-03-11 07:14:06 +08:00
|
|
|
* New features in the GDB remote stub, gdbserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The "--wrapper" command-line argument tells gdbserver to use a
|
|
|
|
|
wrapper program to launch programs for debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-10 03:17:46 +08:00
|
|
|
- On PowerPC and S/390 targets, it is now possible to use a single
|
|
|
|
|
gdbserver executable to debug both 32-bit and 64-bit programs.
|
|
|
|
|
(This requires gdbserver itself to be built as a 64-bit executable.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-08-12 23:18:31 +08:00
|
|
|
- gdbserver uses the new noack protocol mode for TCP connections to
|
|
|
|
|
reduce communications latency, if also supported and enabled in GDB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-11-16 00:09:51 +08:00
|
|
|
- Support for the sparc64-linux-gnu target is now included in
|
|
|
|
|
gdbserver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-02 00:19:14 +08:00
|
|
|
- The amd64-linux build of gdbserver now supports debugging both
|
|
|
|
|
32-bit and 64-bit programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The i386-linux, amd64-linux, and i386-win32 builds of gdbserver
|
|
|
|
|
now support hardware watchpoints, and will use them automatically
|
|
|
|
|
as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-08-07 03:41:33 +08:00
|
|
|
* Python scripting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has support for scripting using Python. Whether this is
|
|
|
|
|
available is determined at configure time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-07 05:33:59 +08:00
|
|
|
New GDB commands can now be written in Python.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-10-23 06:14:21 +08:00
|
|
|
* Ada tasking support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ada tasks can now be inspected in GDB. The following commands have
|
|
|
|
|
been introduced:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
info tasks
|
|
|
|
|
Print the list of Ada tasks.
|
|
|
|
|
info task N
|
|
|
|
|
Print detailed information about task number N.
|
|
|
|
|
task
|
|
|
|
|
Print the task number of the current task.
|
|
|
|
|
task N
|
|
|
|
|
Switch the context of debugging to task number N.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-01-15 04:40:09 +08:00
|
|
|
* Support for user-defined prefixed commands. The "define" command can
|
|
|
|
|
add new commands to existing prefixes, e.g. "target".
|
|
|
|
|
|

* linux-nat.c (linux_child_follow_fork): If we're staying attached
to the child process, enable event reporting on it. Don't handle
checkpoints here. Instead, add the child fork to the lwp thread
and inferior lists without clobbering the previous inferior. Let
the thread_db layer learn about a new child process, even if
following the parent.
(linux_nat_switch_fork): Delete lwps of the current inferior only,
instead of clearing the whole list. Use thread_change_ptid to
give the core the illusion the new checkpoint is still the same
inferior. Clear the register cache.

2009-07-02 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Debugging multiple inferiors): Document the
"inferior", "detach inferior" and "kill inferior" commands.
(Debugging Programs with Multiple Processes): Adjust to mention
generic "inferior" commands. Delete mention of "detach fork" and
"delete fork". Cross reference to "Debugging multiple inferiors"

2009-07-03 05:57:28 +08:00
|
|
|
* Multi-inferior, multi-process debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has generalized support for multi-inferior debugging. See
|
|
|
|
|
"Debugging Multiple Inferiors" in the manual for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
Although availability still depends on target support, the command
|
|
|
|
|
set is more uniform now. The GNU/Linux specific multi-forks support
|
|
|
|
|
has been migrated to this new framework. This implied some user
|
|
|
|
|
visible changes; see "New commands" and also "Removed commands"
|
|
|
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-21 02:51:42 +08:00
|
|
|
* Target descriptions can now describe the target OS ABI. See the
|
|
|
|
|
"Target Description Format" section in the user manual for more
|
|
|
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-31 22:39:12 +08:00
|
|
|
* Target descriptions can now describe "compatible" architectures
|
|
|
|
|
to indicate that the target can execute applications for a different
|
|
|
|
|
architecture in addition to those for the main target architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
See the "Target Description Format" section in the user manual for
|
|
|
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-31 23:28:27 +08:00
|
|
|
* Multi-architecture debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes general supports for debugging applications on
|
|
|
|
|
hybrid systems that use more than one single processor architecture
|
|
|
|
|
at the same time. Each such hybrid architecture still requires
|
|
|
|
|
specific support to be added. The only hybrid architecture supported
|
|
|
|
|
in this version of GDB is the Cell Broadband Engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GDB now supports integrated debugging of Cell/B.E. applications that
|
|
|
|
|
use both the PPU and SPU architectures. To enable support for hybrid
|
|
|
|
|
Cell/B.E. debugging, you need to configure GDB to support both the
|
|
|
|
|
powerpc-linux or powerpc64-linux and the spu-elf targets, using the
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-targets configure option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-10-05 01:39:30 +08:00
|
|
|
* Non-stop mode debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For some targets, GDB now supports an optional mode of operation in
|
|
|
|
|
which you can examine stopped threads while other threads continue
|
|
|
|
|
to execute freely. This is referred to as non-stop mode, with the
|
|
|
|
|
old mode referred to as all-stop mode. See the "Non-Stop Mode"
|
|
|
|
|
section in the user manual for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be able to support remote non-stop debugging, a remote stub needs
|
|
|
|
|
to implement the non-stop mode remote protocol extensions, as
|
|
|
|
|
described in the "Remote Non-Stop" section of the user manual. The
|
|
|
|
|
GDB remote stub, gdbserver, has been adjusted to support these
|
|
|
|
|
extensions on linux targets.
|
|
|
|

|
|
catch syscall [NAME(S) | NUMBER(S)]
|
|
|
|
|
Catch system calls. Arguments, which should be names of system
|
|
|
|
|
calls or their numbers, mean catch only those syscalls. Without
|
|
|
|
|
arguments, every syscall will be caught. When the inferior issues
|
|
|
|
|
any of the specified syscalls, GDB will stop and announce the system
|
|
|
|
|
call, both when it is called and when its call returns. This
|
|
|
|
|
feature is currently available with a native GDB running on the
|
|
|
|
|
Linux Kernel, under the following architectures: x86, x86_64,
|
|
|
|
|
PowerPC and PowerPC64.

2009-07-02 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com>
* linux-nat.c (linux_child_follow_fork): If we're staying attached
to the child process, enable event reporting on it. Don't handle
checkpoints here. Instead, add the child fork to the lwp thread
and inferior lists without clobbering the previous inferior. Let
the thread_db layer learn about a new child process, even if
following the parent.
(linux_nat_switch_fork): Delete lwps of the current inferior only,
instead of clearing the whole list. Use thread_change_ptid to
give the core the illusion the new checkpoint is still the same
inferior. Clear the register cache.
(linux_handle_extended_wait): Handle checkpoints here.
(linux_multi_process): Turn on.
* linux-fork.c (struct fork_info) <pc>: Remove field.
(init_fork_list): Do not delete the checkpoint from the inferior
list (it is not there).
(fork_load_infrun_state): Don't switch inferior_ptid here. Pass
the new checkpoint's ptid to linux_nat_switch_fork.
(fork_save_infrun_state): Make static. Don't stop the pc field of
fork_info, it's gone.
(linux_fork_mourn_inferior): Don't delete the checkpoint from the
inferior list, it's not there.
(linux_fork_detach): Ditto.
(delete_fork_command): Replace mention of fork/checkpoint by
checkpoint only.
(detach_fork_command): Likewise. Don't delete the checkpoint from
the inferior list.
(info_forks_command): Adjust.
(restore_detach_fork): Delete.
(checkpointing_pid): New.
(linux_fork_checkpointing_p): New.
(save_detach_fork): Delete.
(checkpoint_command): Delete temp_detach_fork. Don't remove
breakpoints, that's a nop. Store the pid of the process we're
checkpointing, and use make_cleanup_restore_integer to restore it.
Don't reinsert breakpoints here.
(process_command, fork_command): Delete.
(restart_command): Update comments to only mention checkpoints,
not forks.
(_initialize_linux_fork): Delete "fork", "process", "info forks"
commands.
* linux-fork.h (fork_save_infrun_state, fork_list): Delete
declarations.
(linux_fork_checkpointing_p): Declare.
* cli/cli-cmds.c (killlist): New.
* cli/cli-cmds.h (killlist): Declare.

* inferior.c: Include "gdbthread.h".
(detach_inferior_command, kill_inferior_command)
(inferior_command): New.
(info_inferiors_command): Allow specifying a specific inferior id.
(_initialize_inferiors): Register "inferior", "kill inferior" and
"detach inferior" commands.
* infcmd.c (_initialize_infcmd): Make "kill" a prefix command.
* gdbthread.h (any_thread_of_process): Declare.
* thread.c (any_thread_of_process): New.
* NEWS: Mention multi-inferior debugging. Mention 'info
inferiors', 'inferior', 'detach inferior' and 'kill inferior' as
new commands.
(Removed commands): New section, mentioning that 'info forks',
'fork', 'process', 'delete fork' and 'detach fork' are now gone.
gdb/testsuite/
2009-07-02 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/multi-forks.exp: Only run detach-on-fork tests on
linux. Adjust to use "inferior", "info inferiors", "detach
inferior" and "kill inferior" instead of "restart", "info fork",
"detach fork" and "delete fork".
* gdb.base/ending-run.exp: Spell out "info".
* gdb.base/help.exp: Adjust to use test_prefix_command_help for
the "kill" command.
gdb/doc/
2009-07-02 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Debugging multiple inferiors): Document the
"inferior", "detach inferior" and "kill inferior" commands.
(Debugging Programs with Multiple Processes): Adjust to mention
generic "inferior" commands. Delete mention of "detach fork" and
"delete fork". Cross reference to "Debugging multiple inferiors"
section.

set multiple-symbols (all|ask|cancel)
|
|
|
|
|
show multiple-symbols
|
|
|
|
|
The value of this variable can be changed to adjust the debugger behavior
|
|
|
|
|
when an expression or a breakpoint location contains an ambiguous symbol
|
|
|
|
|
name (an overloaded function name, for instance).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-04-24 18:21:45 +08:00
|
|
|
set breakpoint always-inserted
|
|
|
|
|
show breakpoint always-inserted
|
|
|
|
|
Keep breakpoints always inserted in the target, as opposed to inserting
|
|
|
|
|
them when resuming the target, and removing them when the target stops.
|
|
|
|
|
This option can improve debugger performance on slow remote targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-03 00:00:36 +08:00
|
|
|
set arm fallback-mode (arm|thumb|auto)
|
|
|
|
|
show arm fallback-mode
|
|
|
|
|
set arm force-mode (arm|thumb|auto)
|
|
|
|
|
show arm force-mode
|
|
|
|
|
These commands control how ARM GDB determines whether instructions
|
|
|
|
|
are ARM or Thumb. The default for both settings is auto, which uses
|
|
|
|
|
the current CPSR value for instructions without symbols; previous
|
|
|
|
|
versions of GDB behaved as if "set arm fallback-mode arm".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-07-10 17:31:00 +08:00
|
|
|
set disable-randomization
|
|
|
|
|
show disable-randomization
|
|
|
|
|
Standalone programs run with the virtual address space randomization enabled
|
|
|
|
|
by default on some platforms. This option keeps the addresses stable across
|
|
|
|
|
multiple debugging sessions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-18 22:54:00 +08:00
|
|
|
set non-stop
|
|
|
|
|
show non-stop
|
|
|
|
|
Control whether other threads are stopped or not when some thread hits
|
|
|
|
|
a breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-08-20 12:58:34 +08:00
|
|
|
set target-async
|
2009-04-18 22:54:00 +08:00
|
|
|
show target-async
|
2008-08-20 12:58:34 +08:00
|
|
|
Requests that asynchronous execution is enabled in the target, if available.
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, it's possible to resume target in the background, and interact
|
|
|
|
|
with GDB while the target is running. "show target-async" displays the
|
|
|
|
|
current state of asynchronous execution of the target.

|
set target-wide-charset
|
|
|
|
|
show target-wide-charset
|
|
|
|
|
The target-wide-charset is the name of the character set that GDB
|
|
|
|
|
uses when printing characters whose type is wchar_t.
|
|
|
|
|
|

set tcp auto-retry (on|off)
|
|
|
|
|
show tcp auto-retry
|
|
|
|
|
set tcp connect-timeout
|
|
|
|
|
show tcp connect-timeout
|
|
|
|
|
These commands allow GDB to retry failed TCP connections to a remote stub
|
|
|
|
|
with a specified timeout period; this is useful if the stub is launched
|
|
|
|
|
in parallel with GDB but may not be ready to accept connections immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-16 00:53:45 +08:00
|
|
|
set libthread-db-search-path
|
|
|
|
|
show libthread-db-search-path
|
|
|
|
|
Control list of directories which GDB will search for appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
libthread_db.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-06-11 19:57:46 +08:00
|
|
|
set schedule-multiple (on|off)
|
|
|
|
|
show schedule-multiple
|
|
|
|
|
Allow GDB to resume all threads of all processes or only threads of
|
|
|
|
|
the current process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-01 04:18:46 +08:00
|
|
|
set stack-cache
|
|
|
|
|
show stack-cache
|
|
|
|
|
Use more aggressive caching for accesses to the stack. This improves
|
|
|
|
|
performance of remote debugging (particularly backtraces) without
|
|
|
|
|
affecting correctness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-11 02:56:45 +08:00
|
|
|
set interactive-mode (on|off|auto)
|
|
|
|
|
show interactive-mode
|
|
|
|
|
Control whether GDB runs in interactive mode (on) or not (off).
|
|
|
|
|
When in interactive mode, GDB waits for the user to answer all
|
|
|
|
|
queries. Otherwise, GDB does not wait and assumes the default
|
|
|
|
|
answer. When set to auto (the default), GDB determines which
|
|
|
|
|
mode to use based on the stdin settings.

* linux-nat.c (linux_child_follow_fork): If we're staying attached
to the child process, enable event reporting on it. Don't handle
checkpoints here. Instead, add the child fork to the lwp thread
and inferior lists without clobbering the previous inferior. Let
the thread_db layer learn about a new child process, even if
following the parent.
(linux_nat_switch_fork): Delete lwps of the current inferior only,
instead of clearing the whole list. Use thread_change_ptid to
give the core the illusion the new checkpoint is still the same
inferior. Clear the register cache.
(linux_handle_extended_wait): Handle checkpoints here.
(linux_multi_process): Turn on.
* linux-fork.c (struct fork_info) <pc>: Remove field.
(init_fork_list): Do not delete the checkpoint from the inferior
list (it is not there).
(fork_load_infrun_state): Don't switch inferior_ptid here. Pass
the new checkpoint's ptid to linux_nat_switch_fork.
(fork_save_infrun_state): Make static. Don't stop the pc field of
fork_info, it's gone.

(linux_fork_checkpointing_p): New.
(save_detach_fork): Delete.
(checkpoint_command): Delete temp_detach_fork. Don't remove
breakpoints, that's a nop. Store the pid of the process we're
checkpointing, and use make_cleanup_restore_integer to restore it.
Don't reinsert breakpoints here.
(process_command, fork_command): Delete.
(restart_command): Update comments to only mention checkpoints,
not forks.
(_initialize_linux_fork): Delete "fork", "process", "info forks"
commands.

'fork', 'process', 'delete fork' and 'detach fork' are now gone.
gdb/testsuite/
2009-07-02 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/multi-forks.exp: Only run detach-on-fork tests on
linux. Adjust to use "inferior", "info inferiors", "detach
inferior" and "kill inferior" instead of "restart", "info fork",
"detach fork" and "delete fork".
* gdb.base/ending-run.exp: Spell out "info".
* gdb.base/help.exp: Adjust to use test_prefix_command_help for
the "kill" command.

2009-07-02 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Debugging multiple inferiors): Document the
"inferior", "detach inferior" and "kill inferior" commands.
(Debugging Programs with Multiple Processes): Adjust to mention
generic "inferior" commands. Delete mention of "detach fork" and
"delete fork". Cross reference to "Debugging multiple inferiors"
section.

|
|
* Removed commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
info forks
|
|
|
|
|
For program forks, this is replaced by the new more generic `info
|
|
|
|
|
inferiors' command. To list checkpoints, you can still use the
|
|
|
|
|
`info checkpoints' command, which was an alias for the `info forks'
|
|
|
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fork NUM
|
|
|
|
|
Replaced by the new `inferior' command. To switch between
|
|
|
|
|
checkpoints, you can still use the `restart' command, which was an
|
|
|
|
|
alias for the `fork' command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
process PID
|
|
|
|
|
This is removed, since some targets don't have a notion of
|
|
|
|
|
processes. To switch between processes, you can still use the
|
|
|
|
|
`inferior' command using GDB's own inferior number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
delete fork NUM
|
|
|
|
|
For program forks, this is replaced by the new more generic `kill
|
|
|
|
|
inferior' command. To delete a checkpoint, you can still use the
|
|
|
|
|
`delete checkpoint' command, which was an alias for the `delete
|
|
|
|
|
fork' command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
detach fork NUM
|
|
|
|
|
For program forks, this is replaced by the new more generic `detach
|
|
|
|
|
inferior' command. To detach a checkpoint, you can still use the
|
|
|
|
|
`detach checkpoint' command, which was an alias for the `detach
|
|
|
|
|
fork' command.

*** Changes in GDB 6.8
|
2007-09-18 03:30:05 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-19 23:03:50 +08:00

|
|
|
* Change in command line behavior -- corefiles vs. process ids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the '-p NUMBER' or '--pid NUMBER' options are used, and
|
|
|
|
|
attaching to process NUMBER fails, GDB no longer attempts to open a
|
|
|
|
|
core file named NUMBER. Attaching to a program using the -c option
|
|
|
|
|
is no longer supported. Instead, use the '-p' or '--pid' options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-10-21 18:27:49 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB can now be built as a native debugger for debugging Windows x86
|
|
|
|
|
(mingw32) Portable Executable (PE) programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-28 14:24:20 +08:00
|
|
|
* Pending breakpoints no longer change their number when their address
|
2007-10-04 04:42:08 +08:00
|
|
|
is resolved.
|
2007-09-28 14:24:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GDB now supports breakpoints with multiple locations,
|
2007-10-04 04:42:08 +08:00
|
|
|
including breakpoints on C++ constructors, inside C++ templates,
|
|
|
|
|
and in inlined functions.

|
|
|
|
2007-12-07 01:07:15 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB's ability to debug optimized code has been improved. GDB more
|
|
|
|
|
accurately identifies function bodies and lexical blocks that occupy
|
|
|
|
|
more than one contiguous range of addresses.
|
|
|

|
|
|
* The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, has been updated to support
|
|
|
|
|
ARM Windows CE (mingw32ce) debugging, and GDB Windows CE support
|
|
|
|
|
has been rewritten to use the standard GDB remote protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-05-07 19:49:05 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB can now step into C++ functions which are called through thunks.

|
|
|
|
|
layout. It also supports a TextSeg= and DataSeg= response when only
|
|
|
|
|
segment base addresses (rather than offsets) are available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-06-21 23:18:51 +08:00

|
|
|
|
|
"library" response. Combined with the new "qXfer:libraries:read"
|
|
|
|
|
packet, this response allows GDB to debug shared libraries on targets
|
|
|
|
|
where the operating system manages the list of loaded libraries (e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
Windows and SymbianOS).

set remoteflow
|
|
|
|
|
show remoteflow
|
|
|
|
|
Enable or disable hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) on the serial port
|
|
|
|
|
when debugging using remote targets.

set mem inaccessible-by-default
|
|
|
|
|
show mem inaccessible-by-default
|
|
|
|
|
If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
|
|
|
|
|
protocol's "qXfer:memory-map:read" packet, setting this variable
|
|
|
|
|
prevents GDB from accessing memory outside the memory map. This
|
|
|
|
|
is useful for targets with memory mapped registers or which react
|
|
|
|
|
badly to accesses of unmapped address space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set breakpoint auto-hw
|
|
|
|
|
show breakpoint auto-hw
|
|
|
|
|
If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
|
|
|
|
|
protocol's "qXfer:memory-map:read" packet, setting this variable
|
|
|
|
|
lets GDB use hardware breakpoints automatically for memory regions
|
|
|
|
|
where it can not use software breakpoints. This covers both the
|
|
|
|
|
"break" command and internal breakpoints used for other commands
|
|
|
|
|
including "next" and "finish".

catch exception unhandled
|
|
|
|
|
Stop the program execution when Ada exceptions are raised.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
catch assert
|
|
|
|
|
Stop the program execution when an Ada assertion failed.

|
|
|
|
|
show sysroot
|
|
|
|
|
Set an alternate system root for target files. This is a more
|
|
|
|
|
general version of "set solib-absolute-prefix", which is now
|
|
|
|
|
an alias to "set sysroot".

2006-05-17 03:43:57 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2006-11-15 05:53:59 +08:00

2006-07-25 02:20:58 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB can now be configured as a cross-debugger targeting native Windows
|
|
|
|
|
(mingw32) or Cygwin. It can communicate with a remote debugging stub
|
|
|
|
|
running on a Windows system over TCP/IP to debug Windows programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, has been updated to support Windows and
|
|
|
|
|
Cygwin debugging. Both single-threaded and multi-threaded programs are
|
|
|
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-17 04:33:23 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "set trust-readonly-sections" command works again. This command was
|
|
|
|
|
broken in GDB 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-22 01:48:53 +08:00
|
|
|
* The "load" command now supports writing to flash memory, if the remote
|
|
|
|
|
stub provides the required support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-10-18 23:29:18 +08:00
|
|
|
* Support for GNU/Linux Thread Local Storage (TLS, per-thread variables) no
|
|
|
|
|
longer requires symbolic debug information (e.g. DWARF-2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-10 00:50:04 +08:00
|
|
|
* New commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set substitute-path
|
|
|
|
|
unset substitute-path
|
|
|
|
|
show substitute-path
|
|
|
|
|
Manage a list of substitution rules that GDB uses to rewrite the name
|
|
|
|
|
of the directories where the sources are located. This can be useful
|
|
|
|
|
for instance when the sources were moved to a different location
|
|
|
|
|
between compilation and debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-11 20:46:03 +08:00
|
|
|
set trace-commands
|
|
|
|
|
show trace-commands
|
|
|
|
|
Print each CLI command as it is executed. Each command is prefixed with
|
|
|
|
|
a number of `+' symbols representing the nesting depth.
|
|
|
|
|
The source command now has a `-v' option to enable the same feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-05-17 22:40:39 +08:00
|
|
|
* REMOVED features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ARM Demon monitor support (RDP protocol, "target rdp").
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-07-06 03:03:47 +08:00
|
|
|
Kernel Object Display, an embedded debugging feature which only worked with
|
|
|
|
|
an obsolete version of Cisco IOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-08 23:48:08 +08:00
|
|
|
The 'set download-write-size' and 'show download-write-size' commands.
|

2006-06-21 21:57:21 +08:00
|
|
|
* New remote packets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qSupported:
|
|
|
|
|
Tell a stub about GDB client features, and request remote target features.
|
|
|
|
|
The first feature implemented is PacketSize, which allows the target to
|
|
|
|
|
specify the size of packets it can handle - to minimize the number of
|
|
|
|
|
packets required and improve performance when connected to a remote
|
|
|
|
|
target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-07-13 02:50:18 +08:00
|
|
|
qXfer:auxv:read:
|
|
|
|
|
Fetch an OS auxilliary vector from the remote stub. This packet is a
|
|
|
|
|
more efficient replacement for qPart:auxv:read.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-22 01:48:53 +08:00
|
|
|
qXfer:memory-map:read:
|
|
|
|
|
Fetch a memory map from the remote stub, including information about
|
|
|
|
|
RAM, ROM, and flash memory devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vFlashErase:
|
|
|
|
|
vFlashWrite:
|
|
|
|
|
vFlashDone:
|
|
|
|
|
Erase and program a flash memory device.
|
|
|
|

* Removed remote packets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qPart:auxv:read:
|
|
|
|
|
This packet has been replaced by qXfer:auxv:read. Only GDB 6.4 and 6.5
|
|
|
|
|
used it, and only gdbserver implemented it.

|
|
* Improved Windows host support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now builds as a cross debugger hosted on i686-mingw32, including
|
|
|
|
|
native console support, and remote communications using either
|
|
|
|
|
network sockets or serial ports.

* Improved Modula-2 language support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can now print most types in the Modula-2 syntax. This includes:
|
|
|
|
|
basic types, set types, record types, enumerated types, range types,
|
|
|
|
|
pointer types and ARRAY types. Procedure var parameters are correctly
|
|
|
|
|
printed and hexadecimal addresses and character constants are also
|
|
|
|
|
written in the Modula-2 syntax. Best results can be obtained by using
|
|
|
|
|
GNU Modula-2 together with the -gdwarf-2 command line option.

|
* New "set print array-indexes" command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After turning this setting "on", GDB prints the index of each element
|
|
|
|
|
when displaying arrays. The default is "off" to preserve the previous
|
|
|
|
|
behavior.
|

|
|
|
* VAX floating point support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports the not-quite-ieee VAX F and D floating point formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-16 20:49:17 +08:00
|
|
|
* User-defined command support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to using $arg0..$arg9 for argument passing, it is now possible
|
|
|
|
|
to use $argc to determine now many arguments have been passed. See the
|
|
|
|
|
section on user-defined commands in the user manual for more information.

*** Changes in GDB 6.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-12-07 19:06:04 +08:00
|
|
|
* New command line option
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now accepts -l followed by a number to set the timeout for remote
|
|
|
|
|
debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-10-20 03:43:50 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB works with GCC -feliminate-dwarf2-dups
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports a more compact representation of DWARF-2 debug
|
|
|
|
|
information using DW_FORM_ref_addr references. These are produced
|
|
|
|
|
by GCC with the option -feliminate-dwarf2-dups and also by some
|
|
|
|
|
proprietary compilers. With GCC, you must use GCC 3.3.4 or later
|
|
|
|
|
to use -feliminate-dwarf2-dups.

|
|
|
* Internationalization
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When supported by the host system, GDB will be built with
|
|
|
|
|
internationalization (libintl). The task of marking up the sources is
|
|
|
|
|
continued, we're looking forward to our first translation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-11-02 17:41:00 +08:00
|
|
|
* Ada
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Initial support for debugging programs compiled with the GNAT
|
|
|
|
|
implementation of the Ada programming language has been integrated
|
|
|
|
|
into GDB. In this release, support is limited to expression evaluation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-11-03 22:33:54 +08:00
|
|
|
* New native configurations
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNU/Linux/m32r m32r-*-linux-gnu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Remote 'p' packet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's remote protocol now includes support for the 'p' packet. This
|
|
|
|
|
packet is used to fetch individual registers from a remote inferior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* END-OF-LIFE registers[] compatibility module
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's internal register infrastructure has been completely rewritten.
|
|
|
|
|
The new infrastructure making possible the implementation of key new
|
|
|
|
|
features including 32x64 (e.g., 64-bit amd64 GDB debugging a 32-bit
|
|
|
|
|
i386 application).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB 6.3 will be the last release to include the the registers[]
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility module that allowed out-of-date configurations to
|
|
|
|
|
continue to work. This change directly impacts the following
|
|
|
|
|
configurations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hppa-*-hpux
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless there is activity to revive these configurations, they will be
|
|
|
|
|
made OBSOLETE in GDB 6.4, and REMOVED from GDB 6.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* OBSOLETE configurations and files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configurations that have been declared obsolete in this release have
|
|
|
|
|
been commented out. Unless there is activity to revive these
|
|
|
|
|
configurations, the next release of GDB will have their sources
|
|
|
|
|
permanently REMOVED.

*** Changes in GDB 6.2.1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MIPS `break main; run' gave an heuristic-fence-post warning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When attempting to run even a simple program, a warning about
|
|
|
|
|
heuristic-fence-post being hit would be reported. This problem has
|
|
|
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MIPS IRIX 'long double' crashed GDB
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When examining a long double variable, GDB would get a segmentation
|
|
|
|
|
fault. The crash has been fixed (but GDB 6.2 cannot correctly examine
|
|
|
|
|
IRIX long double values).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* VAX and "next"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A bug in the VAX stack code was causing problems with the "next"
|
|
|
|
|
command. This problem has been fixed.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2004-07-29 03:53:39 +08:00
|
|
|
* Fix for ``many threads''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On GNU/Linux systems that use the NPTL threads library, a program
|
|
|
|
|
rapidly creating and deleting threads would confuse GDB leading to the
|
|
|
|
|
error message:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ptrace: No such process.
|
|
|
|
|
thread_db_get_info: cannot get thread info: generic error
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This problem has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-17 11:25:11 +08:00
|
|
|
* "-async" and "-noasync" options removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for the broken "-noasync" option has been removed (it caused
|
|
|
|
|
GDB to dump core).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-05-26 14:32:01 +08:00
|
|
|
* New ``start'' command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command runs the program until the begining of the main procedure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-11 05:24:01 +08:00
|
|
|
* New BSD Kernel Data Access Library (libkvm) interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using ``target kvm'' it is now possible to debug kernel core dumps and
|
|
|
|
|
live kernel memory images on various FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD
|
|
|
|
|
platforms. Currently supported (native-only) configurations are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD/amd64 x86_64-*-freebsd*
|
|
|
|
|

2004-05-18 03:16:07 +08:00
|
|
|
* Signal trampoline code overhauled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many generic problems with GDB's signal handling code have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
These include: backtraces through non-contiguous stacks; recognition
|
|
|
|
|
of sa_sigaction signal trampolines; backtrace from a NULL pointer
|
|
|
|
|
call; backtrace through a signal trampoline; step into and out of
|
|
|
|
|
signal handlers; and single-stepping in the signal trampoline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-22 00:17:56 +08:00
|
|
|
Please note that kernel bugs are a limiting factor here. These
|
|
|
|
|
features have been shown to work on an s390 GNU/Linux system that
|
|
|
|
|
include a 2.6.8-rc1 kernel. Ref PR breakpoints/1702.

* END-OF-LIFE frame compatibility module
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's internal frame infrastructure has been completely rewritten.
|
|
|
|
|
The new infrastructure making it possible to support key new features
|
|
|
|
|
including DWARF 2 Call Frame Information. To aid in the task of
|
|
|
|
|
migrating old configurations to this new infrastructure, a
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility module, that allowed old configurations to continue to
|
|
|
|
|
work, was also included.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB 6.2 will be the last release to include this frame compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
module. This change directly impacts the following configurations:

* TUI (Text-mode User Interface) built-in (also included in GDB 6.1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The TUI (Text-mode User Interface) is now built as part of a default
|
|
|
|
|
GDB configuration. It is enabled by either selecting the TUI with the
|
|
|
|
|
command line option "-i=tui" or by running the separate "gdbtui"
|
|
|
|
|
program. For more information on the TUI, see the manual "Debugging
|
|
|
|
|
with GDB".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Pending breakpoint support (also included in GDB 6.1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support has been added to allow you to specify breakpoints in shared
|
|
|
|
|
libraries that have not yet been loaded. If a breakpoint location
|
|
|
|
|
cannot be found, and the "breakpoint pending" option is set to auto,
|
|
|
|
|
GDB queries you if you wish to make the breakpoint pending on a future
|
|
|
|
|
shared-library load. If and when GDB resolves the breakpoint symbol,
|
|
|
|
|
the pending breakpoint is removed as one or more regular breakpoints
|
|
|
|
|
are created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pending breakpoints are very useful for GCJ Java debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed ISO-C build problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The files bfd/elf-bfd.h, gdb/dictionary.c and gdb/types.c contained
|
|
|
|
|
non ISO-C code that stopped them being built using a more strict ISO-C
|
|
|
|
|
compiler (e.g., IBM's C compiler).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed build problem on IRIX 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to header problems with <sys/proc.h>, the file gdb/proc-api.c
|
|
|
|
|
wasn't able to compile compile on an IRIX 5 system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added execute permission to gdb/gdbserver/configure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shell script gdb/testsuite/gdb.stabs/configure lacked execute
|
|
|
|
|
permission. This bug would cause configure to fail on a number of
|
|
|
|
|
systems (Solaris, IRIX). Ref: server/519.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed build problem on hpux2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 using the HP ANSI C compiler
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Older HPUX ANSI C compilers did not accept variable array sizes. somsolib.c
|
|
|
|
|
has been updated to use constant array sizes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a panic in the DWARF Call Frame Info code on Solaris 2.7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GCC 3.3.2, on Solaris 2.7, includes the DW_EH_PE_funcrel encoding in
|
|
|
|
|
its generated DWARF Call Frame Info. This encoding was causing GDB to
|
|
|
|
|
panic, that panic has been fixed. Ref: gdb/1628.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a problem when examining parameters in shared library code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When examining parameters in optimized shared library code generated
|
|
|
|
|
by a mainline GCC, GDB would incorrectly report ``Variable "..." is
|
|
|
|
|
not available''. GDB now correctly displays the variable's value.

2004-01-20 17:29:18 +08:00
|
|
|
* Removed --with-mmalloc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for the mmalloc memory manager has been removed, as it
|
|
|
|
|
conflicted with the internal gdb byte cache.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-01-12 01:00:38 +08:00
|
|
|
* Changes in AMD64 configurations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AMD64 target now includes the %cs and %ss registers. As a result
|
|
|
|
|
the AMD64 remote protocol has changed; this affects the floating-point
|
|
|
|
|
and SSE registers. If you rely on those registers for your debugging,
|
|
|
|
|
you should upgrade gdbserver on the remote side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-01-03 20:21:09 +08:00
|
|
|
* Revised SPARC target
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SPARC target has been completely revised, incorporating the
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD/sparc64 support that was added for GDB 6.0. As a result
|
2004-02-06 03:56:33 +08:00
|
|
|
support for LynxOS and SunOS 4 has been dropped. Calling functions
|
|
|
|
|
from within GDB on operating systems with a non-executable stack
|
|
|
|
|
(Solaris, OpenBSD) now works.
|

|
|
|
|
2003-12-04 03:53:11 +08:00
|
|
|
* New C++ demangler
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB has a new C++ demangler which does a better job on the mangled
|
|
|
|
|
names generated by current versions of g++. It also runs faster, so
|
|
|
|
|
with this and other changes gdb should now start faster on large C++
|
|
|
|
|
programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-11-25 01:02:34 +08:00
|
|
|
* DWARF 2 Location Expressions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB support for location expressions has been extended to support function
|
|
|
|
|
arguments and frame bases. Older versions of GDB could crash when they
|
|
|
|
|
encountered these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-18 01:35:54 +08:00
|
|
|
* C++ nested types and namespaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's support for nested types and namespaces in C++ has been
|
|
|
|
|
improved, especially if you use the DWARF 2 debugging format. (This
|
|
|
|
|
is the default for recent versions of GCC on most platforms.)
|
|
|
|
|
Specifically, if you have a class "Inner" defined within a class or
|
|
|
|
|
namespace "Outer", then GDB realizes that the class's name is
|
|
|
|
|
"Outer::Inner", not simply "Inner". This should greatly reduce the
|
|
|
|
|
frequency of complaints about not finding RTTI symbols. In addition,
|
|
|
|
|
if you are stopped at inside of a function defined within a namespace,
|
|
|
|
|
GDB modifies its name lookup accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-10-19 02:41:22 +08:00

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command "set prompt-escape-char" has been deleted. This command,
|
|
|
|
|
and its very obscure effet on GDB's prompt, was never documented,
|
|
|
|
|
tested, nor mentioned in the NEWS file.

|
* New backtrace mechanism (includes DWARF 2 Call Frame Information).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DWARF 2's Call Frame Information makes available compiler generated
|
|
|
|
|
information that more exactly describes the program's run-time stack.
|
|
|
|
|
By using this information, GDB is able to provide more robust stack
|
|
|
|
|
backtraces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The i386, amd64 (nee, x86-64), Alpha, m68hc11, ia64, and m32r targets
|
|
|
|
|
have been updated to use a new backtrace mechanism which includes
|
|
|
|
|
DWARF 2 CFI support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Hosted file I/O.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's remote protocol has been extended to include support for hosted
|
|
|
|
|
file I/O (where the remote target uses GDB's file system). See GDB's
|
|
|
|
|
remote protocol documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* All targets using the new architecture framework.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of GDB's targets have been updated to use the new internal
|
|
|
|
|
architecture framework. The way is now open for future GDB releases
|
|
|
|
|
to include cross-architecture native debugging support (i386 on amd64,
|
|
|
|
|
ppc32 on ppc64).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GNU/Linux's Thread Local Storage (TLS)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes support for for the GNU/Linux implementation of
|
|
|
|
|
per-thread variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GNU/Linux's Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's thread code has been updated to work with either the new
|
|
|
|
|
GNU/Linux NPTL thread library or the older "LinuxThreads" library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Separate debug info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB, in conjunction with BINUTILS, now supports a mechanism for
|
|
|
|
|
automatically loading debug information from a separate file. Instead
|
|
|
|
|
of shipping full debug and non-debug versions of system libraries,
|
|
|
|
|
system integrators can now instead ship just the stripped libraries
|
|
|
|
|
and optional debug files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DWARF 2 Location Expressions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DWARF 2 Location Expressions allow the compiler to more completely
|
|
|
|
|
describe the location of variables (even in optimized code) to the
|
|
|
|
|
debugger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes preliminary support for location expressions (support
|
|
|
|
|
for DW_OP_piece is still missing).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Java
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A number of long standing bugs that caused GDB to die while starting a
|
|
|
|
|
Java application have been fixed. GDB's Java support is now
|
|
|
|
|
considered "useable".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-25 05:21:11 +08:00
|
|
|
* GNU/Linux support for fork, vfork, and exec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "catch fork", "catch exec", "catch vfork", and "set follow-fork-mode"
|
|
|
|
|
commands are now implemented for GNU/Linux. They require a 2.5.x or later
|
|
|
|
|
kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-06-29 00:19:07 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB supports logging output to a file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two new commands, "set logging" and "show logging", which can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to capture GDB's output to a file.
|
2003-06-23 11:28:14 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2003-06-18 04:28:14 +08:00
|
|
|
* The meaning of "detach" has changed for gdbserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "detach" command will now resume the application, as documented. To
|
|
|
|
|
disconnect from gdbserver and leave it stopped, use the new "disconnect"
|
|
|
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-07-25 03:59:33 +08:00
|
|
|
* d10v, m68hc11 `regs' command deprecated
|
2003-02-03 02:53:22 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `info registers' command has been updated so that it displays the
|
|
|
|
|
registers using a format identical to the old `regs' command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-01-23 07:50:35 +08:00
|
|
|
* Profiling support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new command, "maint set profile on/off", has been added. This command can
|
|
|
|
|
be used to enable or disable profiling while running GDB, to profile a
|
|
|
|
|
session or a set of commands. In addition there is a new configure switch,
|
|
|
|
|
"--enable-profiling", which will cause GDB to be compiled with profiling
|
|
|
|
|
data, for more informative profiling results.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-10-02 05:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
* Default MI syntax changed to "mi2".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default MI (machine interface) syntax, enabled by the command line
|
|
|
|
|
option "-i=mi", has been changed to "mi2". The previous MI syntax,
|
2003-02-05 15:58:40 +08:00
|
|
|
"mi1", can be enabled by specifying the option "-i=mi1".
|
2002-10-02 05:15:43 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for the original "mi0" syntax (included in GDB 5.0) has been
|
|
|
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-10-24 07:54:33 +08:00
|
|
|
Fix for gdb/192: removed extraneous space when displaying frame level.
|
|
|
|
|
Fix for gdb/672: update changelist is now output in mi list format.
|
|
|
|
|
Fix for gdb/702: a -var-assign that updates the value now shows up
|
|
|
|
|
in a subsequent -var-update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-19 02:20:19 +08:00

* MIPS $fp behavior changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The convenience variable $fp, for the MIPS, now consistently returns
|
|
|
|
|
the address of the current frame's base. Previously, depending on the
|
|
|
|
|
context, $fp could refer to either $sp or the current frame's base
|
|
|
|
|
address. See ``8.10 Registers'' in the manual ``Debugging with GDB:
|
|
|
|
|
The GNU Source-Level Debugger''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-09-05 20:13:08 +08:00

*** Changes in GDB 5.3:
|
2002-03-06 06:57:57 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2002-12-04 03:32:10 +08:00
|
|
|
* GNU/Linux shared library multi-threaded performance improved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When debugging a multi-threaded application on GNU/Linux, GDB now uses
|
|
|
|
|
`/proc', in preference to `ptrace' for memory reads. This may result
|
|
|
|
|
in an improvement in the start-up time of multi-threaded, shared
|
|
|
|
|
library applications when run under GDB. One GDB user writes: ``loads
|
|
|
|
|
shared libs like mad''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-08-04 23:12:09 +08:00
|
|
|
* ``gdbserver'' now supports multi-threaded applications on some targets
|
2002-06-14 03:46:19 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2002-08-04 23:12:09 +08:00
|
|
|
Support for debugging multi-threaded applications which use
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU/Linux LinuxThreads package has been added for
|
|
|
|
|
arm*-*-linux*-gnu*, i[3456]86-*-linux*-gnu*, mips*-*-linux*-gnu*,
|
|
|
|
|
powerpc*-*-linux*-gnu*, and sh*-*-linux*-gnu*.

|
|
|
* GDB now supports C/C++ preprocessor macros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now expands preprocessor macro invocations in C/C++ expressions,
|
|
|
|
|
and provides various commands for showing macro definitions and how
|
|
|
|
|
they expand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-08-04 08:02:49 +08:00
|
|
|
The new command `macro expand EXPRESSION' expands any macro
|
|
|
|
|
invocations in expression, and shows the result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new command `show macro MACRO-NAME' shows the definition of the
|
|
|
|
|
macro named MACRO-NAME, and where it was defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-05-18 02:02:20 +08:00
|
|
|
Most compilers don't include information about macros in the debugging
|
|
|
|
|
information by default. In GCC 3.1, for example, you need to compile
|
|
|
|
|
your program with the options `-gdwarf-2 -g3'. If the macro
|
|
|
|
|
information is present in the executable, GDB will read it.

including the random appearance of SIGSEGV or SIGTRAP signals. The use

*** Changes in GDB 5.2:
|
2001-11-24 07:01:54 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2002-01-31 11:57:42 +08:00
|
|
|
* New command "set trust-readonly-sections on[off]".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command is a hint that tells gdb that read-only sections
|
|
|
|
|
really are read-only (ie. that their contents will not change).
|
|
|
|
|
In this mode, gdb will go to the object file rather than the
|
|
|
|
|
target to read memory from read-only sections (such as ".text").
|
|
|
|
|
This can be a significant performance improvement on some
|
|
|
|
|
(notably embedded) targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-01-31 10:33:20 +08:00
|
|
|
* New command "generate-core-file" (or "gcore").
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-02-11 01:34:05 +08:00
|
|
|
This new gdb command allows the user to drop a core file of the child
|
|
|
|
|
process state at any time. So far it's been implemented only for
|
|
|
|
|
GNU/Linux and Solaris, but should be relatively easily ported to other
|
|
|
|
|
hosts. Argument is core file name (defaults to core.<pid>).
|
2002-01-31 10:33:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2002-01-11 09:46:17 +08:00
|
|
|
* New command line option
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now accepts --pid or -p followed by a process id.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Change in command line behavior -- corefiles vs. process ids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a subtle behavior in the way in which GDB handles
|
|
|
|
|
command line arguments. The first non-flag argument is always
|
|
|
|
|
a program to debug, but the second non-flag argument may either
|
|
|
|
|
be a corefile or a process id. Previously, GDB would attempt to
|
|
|
|
|
open the second argument as a corefile, and if that failed, would
|
|
|
|
|
issue a superfluous error message and then attempt to attach it as
|
|
|
|
|
a process. Now, if the second argument begins with a non-digit,
|
|
|
|
|
it will be treated as a corefile. If it begins with a digit,
|
|
|
|
|
GDB will attempt to attach it as a process, and if no such process
|
|
|
|
|
is found, will then attempt to open it as a corefile.
|
|
|

* GDB has been converted to ISO C.
|
2001-07-25 22:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2001-09-11 02:13:17 +08:00
|
|
|
GDB's source code has been converted to ISO C. In particular, the
|
2001-07-25 22:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
sources are fully protoized, and rely on standard headers being
|
|
|
|
|
present.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-06-08 14:35:40 +08:00
|
|
|
* Other news:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-07-25 22:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
* "info symbol" works on platforms which use COFF, ECOFF, XCOFF, and NLM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The MI enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new machine oriented interface (MI) introduced in GDB 5.0 has been
|
|
|
|
|
revised and enabled by default. Packages which use GDB as a debugging
|
|
|
|
|
engine behind a UI or another front end are encouraged to switch to
|
|
|
|
|
using the GDB/MI interface, instead of the old annotations interface
|
|
|
|
|
which is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for debugging Pascal programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes support for debugging Pascal programs. The following
|
|
|
|
|
main features are supported:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Pascal-specific data types such as sets;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- automatic recognition of Pascal sources based on file-name
|
|
|
|
|
extension;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Pascal-style display of data types, variables, and functions;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- a Pascal expression parser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, some important features are not yet supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Pascal string operations are not supported at all;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- there are some problems with boolean types;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Pascal type hexadecimal constants are not supported
|
|
|
|
|
because they conflict with the internal variables format;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- support for Pascal objects and classes is not full yet;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- unlike Pascal, GDB is case-sensitive for symbol names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Changes in completion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commands such as `shell', `run' and `set args', which pass arguments
|
|
|
|
|
to inferior programs, now complete on file names, similar to what
|
|
|
|
|
users expect at the shell prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commands which accept locations, such as `disassemble', `print',
|
|
|
|
|
`breakpoint', `until', etc. now complete on filenames as well as
|
|
|
|
|
program symbols. Thus, if you type "break foob TAB", and the source
|
|
|
|
|
files linked into the programs include `foobar.c', that file name will
|
|
|
|
|
be one of the candidates for completion. However, file names are not
|
|
|
|
|
considered for completion after you typed a colon that delimits a file
|
|
|
|
|
name from a name of a function in that file, as in "break foo.c:bar".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`set demangle-style' completes on available demangling styles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New platform-independent commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to define a post-hook for a command as well as a
|
|
|
|
|
hook that runs before the command. For more details, see the
|
|
|
|
|
documentation of `hookpost' in the GDB manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Changes in GNU/Linux native debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-08-03 02:42:18 +08:00
|
|
|
Support for debugging multi-threaded programs has been completely
|
|
|
|
|
revised for all platforms except m68k and sparc. You can now debug as
|
|
|
|
|
many threads as your system allows you to have.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-07-25 22:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
Attach/detach is supported for multi-threaded programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-08-03 02:42:18 +08:00
|
|
|
Support for SSE registers was added for x86. This doesn't work for
|
|
|
|
|
multi-threaded programs though.
|
2001-07-25 22:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Changes in MIPS configurations.
|
2000-06-08 14:35:40 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multi-arch support is enabled for all MIPS configurations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-07-25 22:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
GDB can now be built as native debugger on SGI Irix 6.x systems for
|
|
|
|
|
debugging n32 executables. (Debugging 64-bit executables is not yet
|
|
|
|
|
supported.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Unified support for hardware watchpoints in all x86 configurations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most (if not all) native x86 configurations support hardware-assisted
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints and watchpoints in a unified manner. This support
|
|
|
|
|
implements debug register sharing between watchpoints, which allows to
|
|
|
|
|
put a virtually infinite number of watchpoints on the same address,
|
|
|
|
|
and also supports watching regions up to 16 bytes with several debug
|
|
|
|
|
registers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new maintenance command `maintenance show-debug-regs' toggles
|
|
|
|
|
debugging print-outs in functions that insert, remove, and test
|
|
|
|
|
watchpoints and hardware breakpoints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Changes in the DJGPP native configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New command ``info dos sysinfo'' displays assorted information about
|
|
|
|
|
the CPU, OS, memory, and DPMI server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New commands ``info dos gdt'', ``info dos ldt'', and ``info dos idt''
|
|
|
|
|
display information about segment descriptors stored in GDT, LDT, and
|
|
|
|
|
IDT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New commands ``info dos pde'' and ``info dos pte'' display entries
|
|
|
|
|
from Page Directory and Page Tables (for now works with CWSDPMI only).
|
|
|
|
|
New command ``info dos address-pte'' displays the Page Table entry for
|
|
|
|
|
a given linear address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can now pass command lines longer than 126 characters to the
|
|
|
|
|
program being debugged (requires an update to the libdbg.a library
|
|
|
|
|
which is part of the DJGPP development kit).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DWARF2 debug info is now supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-07-29 16:03:36 +08:00
|
|
|
It is now possible to `step' and `next' through calls to `longjmp'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-07-25 22:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
* Changes in documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All GDB documentation was converted to GFDL, the GNU Free
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tracepoints-related commands are now fully documented in the GDB
|
|
|
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TUI, the Text-mode User Interface, is now documented in the manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tracepoints-related commands are now fully documented in the GDB
|
|
|
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "GDB Internals" manual now has an index. It also includes
|
|
|
|
|
documentation of `ui_out' functions, GDB coding standards, x86
|
|
|
|
|
hardware watchpoints, and memory region attributes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-05-12 09:34:09 +08:00
|
|
|
* GDB's version number moved to ``version.in''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Makefile variable VERSION has been replaced by the file
|
|
|
|
|
``version.in''. People creating GDB distributions should update the
|
|
|
|
|
contents of this file.
|
|
|
|

|
2000-10-24 13:22:11 +08:00
|
|
|
* gdba.el deleted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GUD support is now a standard part of the EMACS distribution.

*** Changes in GDB 5.0:
|
1999-04-27 02:34:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2000-04-13 00:51:27 +08:00
|
|
|
* Improved support for debugging FP programs on x86 targets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unified and much-improved support for debugging floating-point
|
|
|
|
|
programs on all x86 targets. In particular, ``info float'' now
|
|
|
|
|
displays the FP registers in the same format on all x86 targets, with
|
|
|
|
|
greater level of detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improvements and bugfixes in hardware-assisted watchpoints
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to watch array elements, struct members, and
|
|
|
|
|
bitfields with hardware-assisted watchpoints. Data-read watchpoints
|
|
|
|
|
on x86 targets no longer erroneously trigger when the address is
|
|
|
|
|
written.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improvements in the native DJGPP version of GDB
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The distribution now includes all the scripts and auxiliary files
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to build the native DJGPP version on MS-DOS/MS-Windows
|
|
|
|
|
machines ``out of the box''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The DJGPP version can now debug programs that use signals. It is
|
|
|
|
|
possible to catch signals that happened in the debuggee, deliver
|
|
|
|
|
signals to it, interrupt it with Ctrl-C, etc. (Previously, a signal
|
|
|
|
|
would kill the program being debugged.) Programs that hook hardware
|
|
|
|
|
interrupts (keyboard, timer, etc.) can also be debugged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to debug DJGPP programs that redirect their
|
|
|
|
|
standard handles or switch them to raw (as opposed to cooked) mode, or
|
|
|
|
|
even close them. The command ``run < foo > bar'' works as expected,
|
|
|
|
|
and ``info terminal'' reports useful information about the debuggee's
|
|
|
|
|
terminal, including raw/cooked mode, redirection, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The DJGPP version now uses termios functions for console I/O, which
|
|
|
|
|
enables debugging graphics programs. Interrupting GDB with Ctrl-C
|
|
|
|
|
also works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DOS-style file names with drive letters are now fully supported by
|
|
|
|
|
GDB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to debug DJGPP programs that switch their working
|
|
|
|
|
directory. It is also possible to rerun the debuggee any number of
|
|
|
|
|
times without restarting GDB; thus, you can use the same setup,
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints, etc. for many debugging sessions.

|
|
|
* New features for SVR4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On SVR4 native platforms (such as Solaris), if you attach to a process
|
|
|
|
|
without first loading a symbol file, GDB will now attempt to locate and
|
|
|
|
|
load symbols from the running process's executable file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Many C++ enhancements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C++ support has been greatly improved. Overload resolution now works properly
|
|
|
|
|
in almost all cases. RTTI support is on the way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-07-20 07:30:11 +08:00
|
|
|
* Remote targets can connect to a sub-program
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A popen(3) style serial-device has been added. This device starts a
|
|
|
|
|
sub-process (such as a stand-alone simulator) and then communicates
|
|
|
|
|
with that. The sub-program to run is specified using the syntax
|
|
|
|
|
``|<program> <args>'' vis:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A long standing bug in the mips64 remote protocol where by GDB
|
|
|
|
|
expected certain 32 bit registers (ex SR) to be transfered as 32
|
|
|
|
|
instead of 64 bits has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command ``set remote-mips64-transfers-32bit-regs on'' has been
|
|
|
|
|
added to provide backward compatibility with older versions of GDB.

|
* ``set remotebinarydownload'' replaced by ``set remote X-packet''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command ``set remotebinarydownload'' command has been replaced by
|
|
|
|
|
``set remote X-packet''. Other commands in ``set remote'' family
|
|
|
|
|
include ``set remote P-packet''.

|
* Breakpoint commands accept ranges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The breakpoint commands ``enable'', ``disable'', and ``delete'' now
|
|
|
|
|
accept a range of breakpoints, e.g. ``5-7''. The tracepoint command
|
|
|
|
|
``tracepoint passcount'' also accepts a range of tracepoints.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* ``apropos'' command added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``apropos'' command searches through command names and
|
|
|
|
|
documentation strings, printing out matches, making it much easier to
|
|
|
|
|
try to find a command that does what you are looking for.

|
* New MI interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new machine oriented interface (MI) has been added to GDB. This
|
|
|
|
|
interface is designed for debug environments running GDB as a separate
|
2000-04-23 16:15:49 +08:00
|
|
|
process. This is part of the long term libGDB project. See the
|
|
|
|
|
"GDB/MI" chapter of the GDB manual for further information. It can be
|
|
|
|
|
enabled by configuring with:
|
2000-04-10 18:52:19 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.../configure --enable-gdbmi

Configurations that have been declared obsolete will be commented out,
|
|
|
|
|
but the code will be left in place. If there is no activity to revive
|
|
|
|
|
these configurations before the next release of GDB, the sources will
|
|
|
|
|
be permanently REMOVED.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ANSI/ISO C
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a compatibility experiment, GDB's source files buildsym.h and
|
|
|
|
|
buildsym.c have been converted to pure standard C, no longer
|
|
|
|
|
containing any K&R compatibility code. We believe that all systems in
|
|
|
|
|
use today either come with a standard C compiler, or have a GCC port
|
|
|
|
|
available. If this is not true, please report the affected
|
|
|
|
|
configuration to bug-gdb@gnu.org immediately. See the README file for
|
|
|
|
|
information about getting a standard C compiler if you don't have one
|
|
|
|
|
already.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Readline 2.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now uses readline 2.2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* set extension-language
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now control the mapping between filename extensions and source
|
|
|
|
|
languages by using the `set extension-language' command. For instance,
|
|
|
|
|
you can ask GDB to treat .c files as C++ by saying
|
|
|
|
|
set extension-language .c c++
|
|
|
|
|
The command `info extensions' lists all of the recognized extensions
|
|
|
|
|
and their associated languages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Setting processor type for PowerPC and RS/6000
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When GDB is configured for a powerpc*-*-* or an rs6000*-*-* target,
|
|
|
|
|
you can use the `set processor' command to specify what variant of the
|
|
|
|
|
PowerPC family you are debugging. The command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set processor NAME
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sets the PowerPC/RS6000 variant to NAME. GDB knows about the
|
|
|
|
|
following PowerPC and RS6000 variants:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ppc-uisa PowerPC UISA - a PPC processor as viewed by user-level code
|
|
|
|
|
rs6000 IBM RS6000 ("POWER") architecture, user-level view
|
|
|
|
|
403 IBM PowerPC 403
|
|
|
|
|
403GC IBM PowerPC 403GC
|
|
|
|
|
505 Motorola PowerPC 505
|
|
|
|
|
860 Motorola PowerPC 860 or 850
|
|
|
|
|
601 Motorola PowerPC 601
|
|
|
|
|
602 Motorola PowerPC 602
|
|
|
|
|
603 Motorola/IBM PowerPC 603 or 603e
|
|
|
|
|
604 Motorola PowerPC 604 or 604e
|
|
|
|
|
750 Motorola/IBM PowerPC 750 or 750
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the moment, this command just tells GDB what to name the
|
|
|
|
|
special-purpose processor registers. Since almost all the affected
|
|
|
|
|
registers are inaccessible to user-level programs, this command is
|
|
|
|
|
only useful for remote debugging in its present form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* HP-UX support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks to a major code donation from Hewlett-Packard, GDB now has much
|
|
|
|
|
more extensive support for HP-UX. Added features include shared
|
|
|
|
|
library support, kernel threads and hardware watchpoints for 11.00,
|
|
|
|
|
support for HP's ANSI C and C++ compilers, and a compatibility mode
|
|
|
|
|
for xdb and dbx commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Catchpoints
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HP's donation includes the new concept of catchpoints, which is a
|
|
|
|
|
generalization of the old catch command. On HP-UX, it is now possible
|
|
|
|
|
to catch exec, fork, and vfork, as well as library loading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that the existing catch command has changed; its first
|
|
|
|
|
argument now specifies the type of catch to be set up. See the
|
|
|
|
|
output of "help catch" for a list of catchpoint types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Debugging across forks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On HP-UX, you can choose which process to debug when a fork() happens
|
|
|
|
|
in the inferior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* TUI
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HP has donated a curses-based terminal user interface (TUI). To get
|
|
|
|
|
it, build with --enable-tui. Although this can be enabled for any
|
|
|
|
|
configuration, at present it only works for native HP debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GDB remote protocol additions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new protocol packet 'X' that writes binary data is now available.
|
|
|
|
|
Default behavior is to try 'X', then drop back to 'M' if the stub
|
|
|
|
|
fails to respond. The settable variable `remotebinarydownload'
|
|
|
|
|
allows explicit control over the use of 'X'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For 64-bit targets, the memory packets ('M' and 'm') can now contain a
|
|
|
|
|
full 64-bit address. The command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set remoteaddresssize 32
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to revert to the old behaviour. For existing remote stubs
|
|
|
|
|
the change should not be noticed, as the additional address information
|
|
|
|
|
will be discarded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to assist in debugging stubs, you may use the maintenance
|
|
|
|
|
command `packet' to send any text string to the stub. For instance,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maint packet heythere
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sends the packet "$heythere#<checksum>". Note that it is very easy to
|
|
|
|
|
disrupt a debugging session by sending the wrong packet at the wrong
|
|
|
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The compare-sections command allows you to compare section data on the
|
|
|
|
|
target to what is in the executable file without uploading or
|
|
|
|
|
downloading, by comparing CRC checksums.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Tracing can collect general expressions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may now collect general expressions at tracepoints. This requires
|
|
|
|
|
further additions to the target-side stub; see tracepoint.c and
|
|
|
|
|
doc/agentexpr.texi for further details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* mask-address variable for Mips
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Mips targets, you may control the zeroing of the upper 32 bits of
|
|
|
|
|
a 64-bit address by entering `set mask-address on'. This is mainly
|
|
|
|
|
of interest to users of embedded R4xxx and R5xxx processors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Higher serial baud rates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's serial code now allows you to specify baud rates 57600, 115200,
|
|
|
|
|
230400, and 460800 baud. (Note that your host system may not be able
|
|
|
|
|
to achieve all of these rates.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* i960 simulator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The i960 configuration now includes an initial implementation of a
|
|
|
|
|
builtin simulator, contributed by Jim Wilson.

* DWARF 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All configurations can now understand and use the DWARF 2 debugging
|
|
|
|
|
format. The choice is automatic, if the symbol file contains DWARF 2
|
|
|
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Java frontend
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes basic Java language support. This support is
|
|
|
|
|
only useful with Java compilers that produce native machine code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* solib-absolute-prefix and solib-search-path
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For SunOS and SVR4 shared libraries, you may now set the prefix for
|
|
|
|
|
loading absolute shared library symbol files, and the search path for
|
|
|
|
|
locating non-absolute shared library symbol files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Live range splitting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can now effectively debug code for which GCC has performed live
|
|
|
|
|
range splitting as part of its optimization. See gdb/doc/LRS for
|
|
|
|
|
more details on the expected format of the stabs information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Hurd support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's support for the GNU Hurd, including thread debugging, has been
|
|
|
|
|
updated to work with current versions of the Hurd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ARM Thumb support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's ARM target configuration now handles the ARM7T (Thumb) 16-bit
|
|
|
|
|
instruction set. ARM GDB automatically detects when Thumb
|
|
|
|
|
instructions are in use, and adjusts disassembly and backtracing
|
|
|
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MIPS16 support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's MIPS target configurations now handle the MIP16 16-bit
|
|
|
|
|
instruction set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Overlay support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes support for overlays; if an executable has been
|
|
|
|
|
linked such that multiple sections are based at the same address, GDB
|
|
|
|
|
will decide which section to use for symbolic info. You can choose to
|
|
|
|
|
control the decision manually, using overlay commands, or implement
|
|
|
|
|
additional target-side support and use "overlay load-target" to bring
|
|
|
|
|
in the overlay mapping. Do "help overlay" for more detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* info symbol
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command "info symbol <address>" displays information about
|
|
|
|
|
the symbol at the specified address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Trace support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard remote protocol now includes an extension that allows
|
|
|
|
|
asynchronous collection and display of trace data. This requires
|
|
|
|
|
extensive support in the target-side debugging stub. Tracing mode
|
|
|
|
|
includes a new interaction mode in GDB and new commands: see the
|
|
|
|
|
file tracepoint.c for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MIPS simulator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configurations for embedded MIPS now include a simulator contributed
|
|
|
|
|
by Cygnus Solutions. The simulator supports the instruction sets
|
|
|
|
|
of most MIPS variants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Sparc simulator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sparc configurations may now include the ERC32 simulator contributed
|
|
|
|
|
by the European Space Agency. The simulator is not built into
|
|
|
|
|
Sparc targets by default; configure with --enable-sim to include it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* set architecture
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For target configurations that may include multiple variants of a
|
|
|
|
|
basic architecture (such as MIPS and SH), you may now set the
|
|
|
|
|
architecture explicitly. "set arch" sets, "info arch" lists
|
|
|
|
|
the possible architectures.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The powerpc-eabi configuration now includes the PSIM simulator,
|
|
|
|
|
contributed by Andrew Cagney, with assistance from Mike Meissner.
|
|
|
|
|
PSIM is a very elaborate model of the PowerPC, including not only
|
|
|
|
|
basic instruction set execution, but also details of execution unit
|
|
|
|
|
performance and I/O hardware. See sim/ppc/README for more details.

|
* Solaris 2.5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now works with Solaris 2.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Windows 95/NT native
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB will now work as a native debugger on Windows 95 and Windows NT.
|
|
|
|
|
To build it from source, you must use the "gnu-win32" environment,
|
|
|
|
|
which uses a DLL to emulate enough of Unix to run the GNU tools.
|
|
|
|
|
Further information, binaries, and sources are available at
|
|
|
|
|
ftp.cygnus.com, under pub/gnu-win32.

|
|
|
|
* dont-repeat command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a user-defined command includes the command `dont-repeat', then the
|
|
|
|
|
command will not be repeated if the user just types return. This is
|
|
|
|
|
useful if the command is time-consuming to run, so that accidental
|
|
|
|
|
extra keystrokes don't run the same command many times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Send break instead of ^C
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard remote protocol now includes an option to send a break
|
|
|
|
|
rather than a ^C to the target in order to interrupt it. By default,
|
|
|
|
|
GDB will send ^C; to send a break, set the variable `remotebreak' to 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Remote protocol timeout
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard remote protocol includes a new variable `remotetimeout'
|
|
|
|
|
that allows you to set the number of seconds before GDB gives up trying
|
|
|
|
|
to read from the target. The default value is 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Automatic tracking of dynamic object loading (HPUX and Solaris only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default GDB will automatically keep track of objects as they are
|
|
|
|
|
loaded and unloaded by the dynamic linker. By using the command `set
|
|
|
|
|
stop-on-solib-events 1' you can arrange for GDB to stop the inferior
|
|
|
|
|
when shared library events occur, thus allowing you to set breakpoints
|
|
|
|
|
in shared libraries which are explicitly loaded by the inferior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note this feature does not work on hpux8. On hpux9 you must link
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/lib/end.o into your program. This feature should work
|
|
|
|
|
automatically on hpux10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Irix 5.x hardware watchpoint support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Irix 5 configurations now support the use of hardware watchpoints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Mips protocol "SYN garbage limit"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When debugging a Mips target using the `target mips' protocol, you
|
|
|
|
|
may set the number of characters that GDB will ignore by setting
|
|
|
|
|
the `syn-garbage-limit'. A value of -1 means that GDB will ignore
|
|
|
|
|
every character. The default value is 1050.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Recording and replaying remote debug sessions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you set `remotelogfile' to the name of a file, gdb will write to it
|
|
|
|
|
a recording of a remote debug session. This recording may then be
|
|
|
|
|
replayed back to gdb using "gdbreplay". See gdbserver/README for
|
|
|
|
|
details. This is useful when you have a problem with GDB while doing
|
|
|
|
|
remote debugging; you can make a recording of the session and send it
|
|
|
|
|
to someone else, who can then recreate the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Speedups for remote debugging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB includes speedups for downloading and stepping MIPS systems using
|
|
|
|
|
the IDT monitor, fast downloads to the Hitachi SH E7000 emulator,
|
|
|
|
|
and more efficient S-record downloading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Memory use reductions and statistics collection
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now uses less memory and reports statistics about memory usage.
|
|
|
|
|
Try the `maint print statistics' command, for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.15:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Psymtabs for XCOFF
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The symbol reader for AIX GDB now uses partial symbol tables. This
|
|
|
|
|
can greatly improve startup time, especially for large executables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Remote targets use caching
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remote targets now use a data cache to speed up communication with the
|
|
|
|
|
remote side. The data cache could lead to incorrect results because
|
|
|
|
|
it doesn't know about volatile variables, thus making it impossible to
|
|
|
|
|
debug targets which use memory mapped I/O devices. `set remotecache
|
|
|
|
|
off' turns the the data cache off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Remote targets may have threads
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard remote protocol now includes support for multiple threads
|
|
|
|
|
in the target system, using new protocol commands 'H' and 'T'. See
|
|
|
|
|
gdb/remote.c for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* NetROM support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If GDB is configured with `--enable-netrom', then it will include
|
|
|
|
|
support for the NetROM ROM emulator from XLNT Designs. The NetROM
|
|
|
|
|
acts as though it is a bank of ROM on the target board, but you can
|
|
|
|
|
write into it over the network. GDB's support consists only of
|
|
|
|
|
support for fast loading into the emulated ROM; to debug, you must use
|
|
|
|
|
another protocol, such as standard remote protocol. The usual
|
|
|
|
|
sequence is something like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
target nrom <netrom-hostname>
|
|
|
|
|
load <prog>
|
|
|
|
|
target remote <netrom-hostname>:1235
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Macintosh host
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes support for the Apple Macintosh, as a host only. It
|
|
|
|
|
may be run as either an MPW tool or as a standalone application, and
|
|
|
|
|
it can debug through the serial port. All the usual GDB commands are
|
|
|
|
|
available, but to the target command, you must supply "serial" as the
|
|
|
|
|
device type instead of "/dev/ttyXX". See mpw-README in the main
|
|
|
|
|
directory for more information on how to build. The MPW configuration
|
|
|
|
|
scripts */mpw-config.in support only a few targets, and only the
|
|
|
|
|
mips-idt-ecoff target has been tested.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Autoconf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB configuration now uses autoconf. This is not user-visible,
|
|
|
|
|
but does simplify configuration and building.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* hpux10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports hpux10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.14:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New native configurations

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Alpha OSF/1 support for procfs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports procfs under OSF/1-2.x and higher, which makes it
|
|
|
|
|
possible to attach to running processes. As the mounting of the /proc
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem is optional on the Alpha, GDB automatically determines
|
|
|
|
|
the availability of /proc during startup. This can lead to problems
|
|
|
|
|
if /proc is unmounted after GDB has been started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Arguments to user-defined commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
User commands may accept up to 10 arguments separated by whitespace.
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments are accessed within the user command via $arg0..$arg9. A
|
|
|
|
|
trivial example:
|
|
|
|
|
define adder
|
|
|
|
|
print $arg0 + $arg1 + $arg2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To execute the command use:
|
|
|
|
|
adder 1 2 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Defines the command "adder" which prints the sum of its three arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
Note the arguments are text substitutions, so they may reference variables,
|
|
|
|
|
use complex expressions, or even perform inferior function calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New `if' and `while' commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This makes it possible to write more sophisticated user-defined
|
|
|
|
|
commands. Both commands take a single argument, which is the
|
|
|
|
|
expression to evaluate, and must be followed by the commands to
|
|
|
|
|
execute, one per line, if the expression is nonzero, the list being
|
|
|
|
|
terminated by the word `end'. The `if' command list may include an
|
|
|
|
|
`else' word, which causes the following commands to be executed only
|
|
|
|
|
if the expression is zero.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fortran source language mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now includes partial support for Fortran 77. It will recognize
|
|
|
|
|
Fortran programs and can evaluate a subset of Fortran expressions, but
|
|
|
|
|
variables and functions may not be handled correctly. GDB will work
|
|
|
|
|
with G77, but does not yet know much about symbols emitted by other
|
|
|
|
|
Fortran compilers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Better HPUX support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most debugging facilities now work on dynamic executables for HPPAs
|
|
|
|
|
running hpux9 or later. You can attach to running dynamically linked
|
|
|
|
|
processes, but by default the dynamic libraries will be read-only, so
|
|
|
|
|
for instance you won't be able to put breakpoints in them. To change
|
|
|
|
|
that behavior do the following before running the program:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adb -w a.out
|
|
|
|
|
__dld_flags?W 0x5
|
|
|
|
|
control-d
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will cause the libraries to be mapped private and read-write.
|
|
|
|
|
To revert to the normal behavior, do this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adb -w a.out
|
|
|
|
|
__dld_flags?W 0x4
|
|
|
|
|
control-d
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You cannot set breakpoints or examine data in the library until after
|
|
|
|
|
the library is loaded if the function/data symbols do not have
|
|
|
|
|
external linkage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can now also read debug symbols produced by the HP C compiler on
|
|
|
|
|
HPPAs (sorry, no C++, Fortran or 68k support).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Target byte order now dynamically selectable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can choose which byte order to use with a target system, via the
|
|
|
|
|
commands "set endian big" and "set endian little", and you can see the
|
|
|
|
|
current setting by using "show endian". You can also give the command
|
|
|
|
|
"set endian auto", in which case GDB will use the byte order
|
|
|
|
|
associated with the executable. Currently, only embedded MIPS
|
|
|
|
|
configurations support dynamic selection of target byte order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New DOS host serial code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version uses DPMI interrupts to handle buffered I/O, so you
|
|
|
|
|
no longer need to run asynctsr when debugging boards connected to
|
|
|
|
|
a PC's serial port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.13:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New "complete" command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This lists all the possible completions for the rest of the line, if it
|
|
|
|
|
were to be given as a command itself. This is intended for use by emacs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Trailing space optional in prompt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"set prompt" no longer adds a space for you after the prompt you set. This
|
|
|
|
|
allows you to set a prompt which ends in a space or one that does not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Breakpoint hit counts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"info break" now displays a count of the number of times the breakpoint
|
|
|
|
|
has been hit. This is especially useful in conjunction with "ignore"; you
|
|
|
|
|
can ignore a large number of breakpoint hits, look at the breakpoint info
|
|
|
|
|
to see how many times the breakpoint was hit, then run again, ignoring one
|
|
|
|
|
less than that number, and this will get you quickly to the last hit of
|
|
|
|
|
that breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Ability to stop printing at NULL character
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"set print null-stop" will cause GDB to stop printing the characters of
|
|
|
|
|
an array when the first NULL is encountered. This is useful when large
|
|
|
|
|
arrays actually contain only short strings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Shared library breakpoints
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In SunOS 4.x, SVR4, and Alpha OSF/1 configurations, you can now set
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints in shared libraries before the executable is run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Hardware watchpoints
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a new hardware breakpoint for the watch command for sparclite
|
|
|
|
|
targets. See gdb/sparclite/hw_breakpoint.note.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-02-11 01:34:05 +08:00
|
|
|
Hardware watchpoints are also now supported under GNU/Linux.
|
1999-04-16 09:35:26 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Annotations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Annotations have been added. These are for use with graphical interfaces,
|
|
|
|
|
and are still experimental. Currently only gdba.el uses these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improved Irix 5 support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now works properly with Irix 5.2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improved HPPA support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now works properly with the latest GCC and GAS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New native configurations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is now support for communicating with the Hitachi E7000-PC ICE.
|
|
|
|
|
This is available automatically when GDB is configured for the SH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As usual, a variety of small fixes and improvements, both generic
|
|
|
|
|
and configuration-specific. See the ChangeLog for more detail.

*** Changes in GDB-4.12:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Irix 5 is now supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* HPPA support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB-4.12 on the HPPA has a number of changes which make it unable
|
|
|
|
|
to debug the output from the currently released versions of GCC and
|
|
|
|
|
GAS (GCC 2.5.8 and GAS-2.2 or PAGAS-1.36). Until the next major release
|
|
|

*** Changes in GDB-4.11:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* User visible changes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Remote Debugging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "set remotedebug" option is now consistent between the mips remote
|
|
|
|
|
target, remote targets using the gdb-specific protocol, UDI (AMD's
|
|
|
|
|
debug protocol for the 29k) and the 88k bug monitor. It is now an
|
|
|
|
|
integer specifying a debug level (normally 0 or 1, but 2 means more
|
|
|
|
|
debugging info for the mips target).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DEC Alpha native support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now works on the DEC Alpha. GCC 2.4.5 does not produce usable
|
|
|
|
|
debug info, but GDB works fairly well with the DEC compiler and should
|
|
|
|
|
work with a future GCC release. See the README file for a few
|
|
|
|
|
Alpha-specific notes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Preliminary thread implementation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has preliminary thread support for both SGI/Irix and LynxOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* LynxOS native and target support for 386
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release has been hosted on LynxOS 2.2, and also can be configured
|
|
|
|
|
to remotely debug programs running under LynxOS (see gdb/gdbserver/README
|
|
|
|
|
for details).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improvements in C++ mangling/demangling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release has much better g++ debugging, specifically in name
|
|
|
|
|
mangling/demangling, virtual function calls, print virtual table,
|
|
|
|
|
call methods, ...etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.10:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* User visible changes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remote debugging using the GDB-specific (`target remote') protocol now
|
|
|
|
|
supports the `load' command. This is only useful if you have some
|
|
|
|
|
other way of getting the stub to the target system, and you can put it
|
|
|
|
|
somewhere in memory where it won't get clobbered by the download.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filename completion now works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When run under emacs mode, the "info line" command now causes the
|
|
|
|
|
arrow to point to the line specified. Also, "info line" prints
|
|
|
|
|
addresses in symbolic form (as well as hex).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All vxworks based targets now support a user settable option, called
|
|
|
|
|
vxworks-timeout. This option represents the number of seconds gdb
|
|
|
|
|
should wait for responses to rpc's. You might want to use this if
|
|
|
|
|
your vxworks target is, perhaps, a slow software simulator or happens
|
|
|
|
|
to be on the far side of a thin network line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DEC alpha support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release contains support for using a DEC alpha as a GDB host for
|
|
|
|
|
cross debugging. Native alpha debugging is not supported yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.9:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Testsuite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the first GDB release which is accompanied by a matching testsuite.
|
|
|
|
|
The testsuite requires installation of dejagnu, which should be available
|
|
|
|
|
via ftp from most sites that carry GNU software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* C++ demangling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Cfront' style demangling has had its name changed to 'ARM' style, to
|
|
|
|
|
emphasize that it was written from the specifications in the C++ Annotated
|
|
|
|
|
Reference Manual, not necessarily to be compatible with AT&T cfront. Despite
|
|
|
|
|
disclaimers, it still generated too much confusion with users attempting to
|
|
|
|
|
use gdb with AT&T cfront.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Simulators
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now uses a standard remote interface to a simulator library.
|
|
|
|
|
So far, the library contains simulators for the Zilog Z8001/2, the
|
|
|
|
|
Hitachi H8/300, H8/500 and Super-H.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New targets supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
H8/300 simulator h8300-hitachi-hms or h8300hms
|
|
|
|
|
H8/500 simulator h8500-hitachi-hms or h8500hms
|
|
|
|
|
SH simulator sh-hitachi-hms or sh
|
|
|
|
|
Z8000 simulator z8k-zilog-none or z8ksim
|
|
|
|
|
IDT MIPS board over serial line mips-idt-ecoff
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross-debugging to GO32 targets is supported. It requires a custom
|
|
|
|
|
version of the i386-stub.c module which is integrated with the
|
|
|
|
|
GO32 memory extender.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New remote protocols
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MIPS remote debugging protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New source languages supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version includes preliminary support for Chill, a Pascal like language
|
|
|
|
|
used by telecommunications companies. Chill support is also being integrated
|
|
|
|
|
into the GNU compiler, but we don't know when it will be publically available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.8:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* HP Precision Architecture supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports HP PA-RISC machines running HPUX. A preliminary
|
|
|
|
|
version of this support was available as a set of patches from the
|
|
|
|
|
University of Utah. GDB does not support debugging of programs
|
|
|
|
|
compiled with the HP compiler, because HP will not document their file
|
|
|
|
|
format. Instead, you must use GCC (version 2.3.2 or later) and PA-GAS
|
|
|
|
|
(as available from jaguar.cs.utah.edu:/dist/pa-gas.u4.tar.Z).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many problems in the preliminary version have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Faster and better demangling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have improved template demangling and fixed numerous bugs in the GNU style
|
|
|
|
|
demangler. It can now handle type modifiers such as `static' or `const'. Wide
|
|
|
|
|
character types (wchar_t) are now supported. Demangling of each symbol is now
|
|
|
|
|
only done once, and is cached when the symbol table for a file is read in.
|
|
|
|
|
This results in a small increase in memory usage for C programs, a moderate
|
|
|
|
|
increase in memory usage for C++ programs, and a fantastic speedup in
|
|
|
|
|
symbol lookups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Cfront' style demangling still doesn't work with AT&T cfront. It was written
|
|
|
|
|
from the specifications in the Annotated Reference Manual, which AT&T's
|
|
|
|
|
compiler does not actually implement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* G++ multiple inheritance compiler problem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the 2.3.2 release of gcc/g++, how the compiler resolves multiple
|
|
|
|
|
inheritance lattices was reworked to properly discover ambiguities. We
|
|
|
|
|
recently found an example which causes this new algorithm to fail in a
|
|
|
|
|
very subtle way, producing bad debug information for those classes.
|
|
|
|
|
The file 'gcc.patch' (in this directory) can be applied to gcc to
|
|
|
|
|
circumvent the problem. A future GCC release will contain a complete
|
|
|
|
|
fix.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The previous G++ debug info problem (mentioned below for the gdb-4.7
|
|
|
|
|
release) is fixed in gcc version 2.3.2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improved configure script
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `configure' script will now attempt to guess your system type if
|
|
|
|
|
you don't supply a host system type. The old scheme of supplying a
|
|
|
|
|
host system triplet is preferable over using this. All the magic is
|
|
|
|
|
done in the new `config.guess' script. Examine it for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have also brought our configure script much more in line with the FSF's
|
|
|
|
|
version. It now supports the --with-xxx options. In particular,
|
|
|
|
|
`--with-minimal-bfd' can be used to make the GDB binary image smaller.
|
|
|
|
|
The resulting GDB will not be able to read arbitrary object file formats --
|
|
|
|
|
only the format ``expected'' to be used on the configured target system.
|
|
|
|
|
We hope to make this the default in a future release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Documentation improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's new internal documentation on how to modify GDB, and how to
|
|
|
|
|
produce clean changes to the code. We implore people to read it
|
|
|
|
|
before submitting changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GDB manual uses new, sexy Texinfo conditionals, rather than arcane
|
|
|
|
|
M4 macros. The new texinfo.tex is provided in this release. Pre-built
|
|
|
|
|
`info' files are also provided. To build `info' files from scratch,
|
|
|
|
|
you will need the latest `makeinfo' release, which will be available in
|
|
|
|
|
a future texinfo-X.Y release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*NOTE* The new texinfo.tex can cause old versions of TeX to hang.
|
|
|
|
|
We're not sure exactly which versions have this problem, but it has
|
|
|
|
|
been seen in 3.0. We highly recommend upgrading to TeX version 3.141
|
|
|
|
|
or better. If that isn't possible, there is a patch in
|
|
|
|
|
`texinfo/tex3patch' that will modify `texinfo/texinfo.tex' to work
|
|
|
|
|
around this problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now supports array constants that can be used in expressions typed in by
|
|
|
|
|
the user. The syntax is `{element, element, ...}'. Ie: you can now type
|
|
|
|
|
`print {1, 2, 3}', and it will build up an array in memory malloc'd in
|
|
|
|
|
the target program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new directory `gdb/sparclite' contains a program that demonstrates
|
|
|
|
|
how the sparc-stub.c remote stub runs on a Fujitsu SPARClite processor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New native hosts supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HP/PA-RISC under HPUX using GNU tools hppa1.1-hp-hpux
|
|
|
|
|
386 CPUs running SCO Unix 3.2v4 i386-unknown-sco3.2v4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New targets supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMD 29k family via UDI a29k-amd-udi or udi29k
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New file formats supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BFD now supports reading HP/PA-RISC executables (SOM file format?),
|
|
|
|
|
HPUX core files, and SCO 3.2v2 core files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Major bug fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attaching to processes now works again; thanks for the many bug reports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have also stomped on a bunch of core dumps caused by
|
|
|
|
|
printf_filtered("%s") problems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We eliminated a copyright problem on the rpc and ptrace header files
|
|
|
|
|
for VxWorks, which was discovered at the last minute during the 4.7
|
|
|
|
|
release. You should now be able to build a VxWorks GDB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now interrupt gdb while an attached process is running. This
|
|
|
|
|
will cause the attached process to stop, and give control back to GDB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We fixed problems caused by using too many file descriptors
|
|
|
|
|
for reading symbols from object files and libraries. This was
|
|
|
|
|
especially a problem for programs that used many (~100) shared
|
|
|
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `step' command now only enters a subroutine if there is line number
|
|
|
|
|
information for the subroutine. Otherwise it acts like the `next'
|
|
|
|
|
command. Previously, `step' would enter subroutines if there was
|
|
|
|
|
any debugging information about the routine. This avoids problems
|
|
|
|
|
when using `cc -g1' on MIPS machines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Internal improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's internal interfaces have been improved to make it easier to support
|
|
|
|
|
debugging of multiple languages in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now uses a common structure for symbol information internally.
|
|
|
|
|
Minimal symbols (derived from linkage symbols in object files), partial
|
|
|
|
|
symbols (from a quick scan of debug information), and full symbols
|
|
|
|
|
contain a common subset of information, making it easier to write
|
|
|
|
|
shared code that handles any of them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New command line options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We now accept --silent as an alias for --quiet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Mmalloc licensing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The memory-mapped-malloc library is now licensed under the GNU Library
|
|
|
|
|
General Public License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.7:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Host/native/target split
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB has had some major internal surgery to untangle the support for
|
|
|
|
|
hosts and remote targets. Now, when you configure GDB for a remote
|
|
|
|
|
target, it will no longer load in all of the support for debugging
|
|
|
|
|
local programs on the host. When fully completed and tested, this will
|
|
|
|
|
ensure that arbitrary host/target combinations are possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The primary conceptual shift is to separate the non-portable code in
|
|
|
|
|
GDB into three categories. Host specific code is required any time GDB
|
|
|
|
|
is compiled on that host, regardless of the target. Target specific
|
|
|
|
|
code relates to the peculiarities of the target, but can be compiled on
|
|
|
|
|
any host. Native specific code is everything else: it can only be
|
|
|
|
|
built when the host and target are the same system. Child process
|
|
|
|
|
handling and core file support are two common `native' examples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB's use of /proc for controlling Unix child processes is now cleaner.
|
|
|
|
|
It has been split out into a single module under the `target_ops' vector,
|
|
|
|
|
plus two native-dependent functions for each system that uses /proc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New hosts supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HP/Apollo 68k (under the BSD domain) m68k-apollo-bsd or apollo68bsd
|
|
|
|
|
386 CPUs running various BSD ports i386-unknown-bsd or 386bsd
|
|
|
|
|
386 CPUs running SCO Unix i386-unknown-scosysv322 or i386sco
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New targets supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fujitsu SPARClite sparclite-fujitsu-none or sparclite
|
|
|
|
|
68030 and CPU32 m68030-*-*, m68332-*-*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New native hosts supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
386 CPUs running various BSD ports i386-unknown-bsd or 386bsd
|
|
|
|
|
(386bsd is not well tested yet)
|
|
|
|
|
386 CPUs running SCO Unix i386-unknown-scosysv322 or sco
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New file formats supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BFD now supports COFF files for the Zilog Z8000 microprocessor. It
|
|
|
|
|
supports reading of `a.out.adobe' object files, which are an a.out
|
|
|
|
|
format extended with minimal information about multiple sections.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`show copying' is the same as the old `info copying'.
|
|
|
|
|
`show warranty' is the same as `info warrantee'.
|
|
|
|
|
These were renamed for consistency. The old commands continue to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`info handle' is a new alias for `info signals'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now define pre-command hooks, which attach arbitrary command
|
|
|
|
|
scripts to any command. The commands in the hook will be executed
|
|
|
|
|
prior to the user's command. You can also create a hook which will be
|
|
|
|
|
executed whenever the program stops. See gdb.texinfo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* C++ improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We now deal with Cfront style name mangling, and can even extract type
|
|
|
|
|
info from mangled symbols. GDB can automatically figure out which
|
|
|
|
|
symbol mangling style your C++ compiler uses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calling of methods and virtual functions has been improved as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Major bug fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The crash that occured when debugging Sun Ansi-C compiled binaries is
|
|
|
|
|
fixed. This was due to mishandling of the extra N_SO stabs output
|
|
|
|
|
by the compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also finally got Ultrix 4.2 running in house, and fixed core file
|
|
|
|
|
support, with help from a dozen people on the net.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John M. Farrell discovered that the reason that single-stepping was so
|
|
|
|
|
slow on all of the Mips based platforms (primarily SGI and DEC) was
|
|
|
|
|
that we were trying to demangle and lookup a symbol used for internal
|
|
|
|
|
purposes on every instruction that was being stepped through. Changing
|
|
|
|
|
the name of that symbol so that it couldn't be mistaken for a C++
|
|
|
|
|
mangled symbol sped things up a great deal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rich Pixley sped up symbol lookups in general by getting much smarter
|
|
|
|
|
about when C++ symbol mangling is necessary. This should make symbol
|
|
|
|
|
completion (TAB on the command line) much faster. It's not as fast as
|
|
|
|
|
we'd like, but it's significantly faster than gdb-4.6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* AMD 29k support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new user controllable variable 'call_scratch_address' can
|
|
|
|
|
specify the location of a scratch area to be used when GDB
|
|
|
|
|
calls a function in the target. This is necessary because the
|
|
|
|
|
usual method of putting the scratch area on the stack does not work
|
|
|
|
|
in systems that have separate instruction and data spaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We integrated changes to support the 29k UDI (Universal Debugger
|
|
|
|
|
Interface), but discovered at the last minute that we didn't have all
|
|
|
|
|
of the appropriate copyright paperwork. We are working with AMD to
|
|
|
|
|
resolve this, and hope to have it available soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Remote interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have sped up the remote serial line protocol, especially for targets
|
|
|
|
|
with lots of registers. It now supports a new `expedited status' ('T')
|
|
|
|
|
message which can be used in place of the existing 'S' status message.
|
|
|
|
|
This allows the remote stub to send only the registers that GDB
|
|
|
|
|
needs to make a quick decision about single-stepping or conditional
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints, eliminating the need to fetch the entire register set for
|
|
|
|
|
each instruction being stepped through.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GDB remote serial protocol now implements a write-through cache for
|
|
|
|
|
registers, only re-reading the registers if the target has run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a new remote serial stub for SPARC processors. You can
|
|
|
|
|
find it in gdb-4.7/gdb/sparc-stub.c. This was written to support the
|
|
|
|
|
Fujitsu SPARClite processor, but will run on any stand-alone SPARC
|
|
|
|
|
processor with a serial port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure.in files have become much easier to read and modify. A new
|
|
|
|
|
`table driven' format makes it more obvious what configurations are
|
|
|
|
|
supported, and what files each one uses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Library changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a new opcodes library which will eventually contain all of the
|
|
|
|
|
disassembly routines and opcode tables. At present, it only contains
|
|
|
|
|
Sparc and Z8000 routines. This will allow the assembler, debugger, and
|
|
|
|
|
disassembler (binutils/objdump) to share these routines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The libiberty library is now copylefted under the GNU Library General
|
|
|
|
|
Public License. This allows more liberal use, and was done so libg++
|
|
|
|
|
can use it. This makes no difference to GDB, since the Library License
|
|
|
|
|
grants all the rights from the General Public License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file gdb-4.7/gdb/doc/stabs.texinfo is a (relatively) complete
|
|
|
|
|
reference to the stabs symbol info used by the debugger. It is (as far
|
|
|
|
|
as we know) the only published document on this fascinating topic. We
|
|
|
|
|
encourage you to read it, compare it to the stabs information on your
|
|
|
|
|
system, and send improvements on the document in general (to
|
|
|
|
|
bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And, of course, many bugs have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.6:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Better support for C++ function names
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now accepts as input the "demangled form" of C++ overloaded function
|
|
|
|
|
names and member function names, and can do command completion on such names
|
|
|
|
|
(using TAB, TAB-TAB, and ESC-?). The names have to be quoted with a pair of
|
|
|
|
|
single quotes. Examples are 'func (int, long)' and 'obj::operator==(obj&)'.
|
|
|
|
|
Make use of command completion, it is your friend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB also now accepts a variety of C++ mangled symbol formats. They are
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU g++ style, the Cfront (ARM) style, and the Lucid (lcc) style.
|
|
|
|
|
You can tell GDB which format to use by doing a 'set demangle-style {gnu,
|
|
|
|
|
lucid, cfront, auto}'. 'gnu' is the default. Do a 'set demangle-style foo'
|
|
|
|
|
for the list of formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* G++ symbol mangling problem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recent versions of gcc have a bug in how they emit debugging information for
|
|
|
|
|
C++ methods (when using dbx-style stabs). The file 'gcc.patch' (in this
|
|
|
|
|
directory) can be applied to gcc to fix the problem. Alternatively, if you
|
|
|
|
|
can't fix gcc, you can #define GCC_MANGLE_BUG when compling gdb/symtab.c. The
|
|
|
|
|
usual symptom is difficulty with setting breakpoints on methods. GDB complains
|
|
|
|
|
about the method being non-existent. (We believe that version 2.2.2 of GCC has
|
|
|
|
|
this problem.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New 'maintenance' command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of the commands related to hacking GDB internals have been moved out of
|
|
|
|
|
the main command set, and now live behind the 'maintenance' command. This
|
|
|
|
|
can also be abbreviated as 'mt'. The following changes were made:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dump-me -> maintenance dump-me
|
|
|
|
|
info all-breakpoints -> maintenance info breakpoints
|
|
|
|
|
printmsyms -> maintenance print msyms
|
|
|
|
|
printobjfiles -> maintenance print objfiles
|
|
|
|
|
printpsyms -> maintenance print psymbols
|
|
|
|
|
printsyms -> maintenance print symbols
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following commands are new:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance demangle Call internal GDB demangler routine to
|
|
|
|
|
demangle a C++ link name and prints the result.
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance print type Print a type chain for a given symbol
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Change to .gdbinit file processing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We now read the $HOME/.gdbinit file before processing the argv arguments
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. reading symbol files or core files). This allows global parameters to
|
|
|
|
|
be set, which will apply during the symbol reading. The ./.gdbinit is still
|
|
|
|
|
read after argv processing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New hosts supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris-2.0 !!! sparc-sun-solaris2 or sun4sol2
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-02-11 01:34:05 +08:00
|
|
|
GNU/Linux support i386-unknown-linux or linux
|
1999-04-16 09:35:26 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are also including code to support the HP/PA running BSD and HPUX. This
|
|
|
|
|
is almost guaranteed not to work, as we didn't have time to test or build it
|
|
|
|
|
for this release. We are including it so that the more adventurous (or
|
|
|
|
|
masochistic) of you can play with it. We also had major problems with the
|
|
|
|
|
fact that the compiler that we got from HP doesn't support the -g option.
|
|
|
|
|
It costs extra.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New targets supported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hitachi H8/300 h8300-hitachi-hms or h8300hms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* More smarts about finding #include files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now remembers the compilation directory for all include files, and for
|
|
|
|
|
all files from which C is generated (like yacc and lex sources). This
|
|
|
|
|
greatly improves GDB's ability to find yacc/lex sources, and include files,
|
|
|
|
|
especially if you are debugging your program from a directory different from
|
|
|
|
|
the one that contains your sources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also fixed a bug which caused difficulty with listing and setting
|
|
|
|
|
breakpoints in include files which contain C code. (In the past, you had to
|
|
|
|
|
try twice in order to list an include file that you hadn't looked at before.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Interesting infernals change
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now deals with arbitrary numbers of sections, where the symbols for each
|
|
|
|
|
section must be relocated relative to that section's landing place in the
|
|
|
|
|
target's address space. This work was needed to support ELF with embedded
|
|
|
|
|
stabs used by Solaris-2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes (of course!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There have been loads of fixes for the following things:
|
|
|
|
|
mips, rs6000, 29k/udi, m68k, g++, type handling, elf/dwarf, m88k,
|
|
|
|
|
i960, stabs, DOS(GO32), procfs, etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.5:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New machines supported (host and target)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IBM RS6000 running AIX rs6000-ibm-aix or rs6000
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SGI Irix-4.x mips-sgi-irix4 or iris4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New malloc package
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now uses a new memory manager called mmalloc, based on gmalloc.
|
|
|
|
|
Mmalloc is capable of handling mutiple heaps of memory. It is also
|
|
|
|
|
capable of saving a heap to a file, and then mapping it back in later.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be used to greatly speedup the startup of GDB by using a
|
|
|
|
|
pre-parsed symbol table which lives in a mmalloc managed heap. For
|
|
|
|
|
more details, please read mmalloc/mmalloc.texi.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* info proc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'info proc' command (SVR4 only) has been enhanced quite a bit. See
|
|
|
|
|
'help info proc' for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MIPS ecoff symbol table format
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The code that reads MIPS symbol table format is now supported on all hosts.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks to MIPS for releasing the sym.h and symconst.h files to make this
|
|
|
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* File name changes for MS-DOS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many files in the config directories have been renamed to make it easier to
|
|
|
|
|
support GDB on MS-DOSe systems (which have very restrictive file name
|
|
|
|
|
conventions :-( ). MS-DOSe host support (under DJ Delorie's GO32
|
|
|
|
|
environment) is close to working but has some remaining problems. Note
|
|
|
|
|
that debugging of DOS programs is not supported, due to limitations
|
|
|
|
|
in the ``operating system'', but it can be used to host cross-debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Cross byte order fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many fixes have been made to support cross debugging of Sparc and MIPS
|
|
|
|
|
targets from hosts whose byte order differs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New -mapped and -readnow options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If memory-mapped files are available on your system through the 'mmap'
|
|
|
|
|
system call, you can use the -mapped option on the `file' or
|
|
|
|
|
`symbol-file' commands to cause GDB to write the symbols from your
|
|
|
|
|
program into a reusable file. If the program you are debugging is
|
|
|
|
|
called `/path/fred', the mapped symbol file will be `./fred.syms'.
|
|
|
|
|
Future GDB debugging sessions will notice the presence of this file,
|
|
|
|
|
and will quickly map in symbol information from it, rather than reading
|
|
|
|
|
the symbol table from the executable program. Using the '-mapped'
|
|
|
|
|
option in a GDB `file' or `symbol-file' command has the same effect as
|
|
|
|
|
starting GDB with the '-mapped' command-line option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can cause GDB to read the entire symbol table immediately by using
|
|
|
|
|
the '-readnow' option with any of the commands that load symbol table
|
|
|
|
|
information (or on the GDB command line). This makes the command
|
|
|
|
|
slower, but makes future operations faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The -mapped and -readnow options are typically combined in order to
|
|
|
|
|
build a `fred.syms' file that contains complete symbol information.
|
|
|
|
|
A simple GDB invocation to do nothing but build a `.syms' file for future
|
|
|
|
|
use is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gdb -batch -nx -mapped -readnow programname
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `.syms' file is specific to the host machine on which GDB is run.
|
|
|
|
|
It holds an exact image of GDB's internal symbol table. It cannot be
|
|
|
|
|
shared across multiple host platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* longjmp() handling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB is now capable of stepping and nexting over longjmp(), _longjmp(), and
|
|
|
|
|
siglongjmp() without losing control. This feature has not yet been ported to
|
|
|
|
|
all systems. It currently works on many 386 platforms, all MIPS-based
|
|
|
|
|
platforms (SGI, DECstation, etc), and Sun3/4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Solaris 2.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preliminary work has been put in to support the new Solaris OS from Sun. At
|
|
|
|
|
this time, it can control and debug processes, but it is not capable of
|
|
|
|
|
reading symbols.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As always, many many bug fixes. The major areas were with g++, and mipsread.
|
|
|
|
|
People using the MIPS-based platforms should experience fewer mysterious
|
|
|
|
|
crashes and trashed symbol tables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.4:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New machines supported (host and target)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SCO Unix on i386 IBM PC clones i386-sco-sysv or i386sco
|
|
|
|
|
(except core files)
|
|
|
|
|
BSD Reno on Vax vax-dec-bsd
|
|
|
|
|
Ultrix on Vax vax-dec-ultrix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New machines supported (target)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMD 29000 embedded, using EBMON a29k-none-none
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* C++ support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB continues to improve its handling of C++. `References' work better.
|
|
|
|
|
The demangler has also been improved, and now deals with symbols mangled as
|
|
|
|
|
per the Annotated C++ Reference Guide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB also now handles `stabs' symbol information embedded in MIPS
|
|
|
|
|
`ecoff' symbol tables. Since the ecoff format was not easily
|
|
|
|
|
extensible to handle new languages such as C++, this appeared to be a
|
|
|
|
|
good way to put C++ debugging info into MIPS binaries. This option
|
|
|
|
|
will be supported in the GNU C compiler, version 2, when it is
|
|
|
|
|
released.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New features for SVR4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now handles SVR4 shared libraries, in the same fashion as SunOS
|
|
|
|
|
shared libraries. Debugging dynamically linked programs should present
|
|
|
|
|
only minor differences from debugging statically linked programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `info proc' command will print out information about any process
|
|
|
|
|
on an SVR4 system (including the one you are debugging). At the moment,
|
|
|
|
|
it prints the address mappings of the process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you bring up GDB on another SVR4 system, please send mail to
|
|
|
|
|
bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu to let us know what changes were reqired (if any).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Better dynamic linking support in SunOS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reading symbols from shared libraries which contain debugging symbols
|
|
|
|
|
now works properly. However, there remain issues such as automatic
|
|
|
|
|
skipping of `transfer vector' code during function calls, which
|
|
|
|
|
make it harder to debug code in a shared library, than to debug the
|
|
|
|
|
same code linked statically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New Getopt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB is now using the latest `getopt' routines from the FSF. This
|
|
|
|
|
version accepts the -- prefix for options with long names. GDB will
|
|
|
|
|
continue to accept the old forms (-option and +option) as well.
|
|
|
|
|
Various single letter abbreviations for options have been explicity
|
|
|
|
|
added to the option table so that they won't get overshadowed in the
|
|
|
|
|
future by other options that begin with the same letter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bugs fixed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `cleanup_undefined_types' bug that many of you noticed has been squashed.
|
|
|
|
|
Many assorted bugs have been handled. Many more remain to be handled.
|
|
|
|
|
See the various ChangeLog files (primarily in gdb and bfd) for details.

*** Changes in GDB-4.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New machines supported (host and target)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Amiga 3000 running Amix m68k-cbm-svr4 or amix
|
|
|
|
|
NCR 3000 386 running SVR4 i386-ncr-svr4 or ncr3000
|
|
|
|
|
Motorola Delta 88000 running Sys V m88k-motorola-sysv or delta88
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Almost SCO Unix support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We had hoped to support:
|
|
|
|
|
SCO Unix on i386 IBM PC clones i386-sco-sysv or i386sco
|
|
|
|
|
(except for core file support), but we discovered very late in the release
|
|
|
|
|
that it has problems with process groups that render gdb unusable. Sorry
|
|
|
|
|
about that. I encourage people to fix it and post the fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Preliminary ELF and DWARF support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can read ELF object files on System V Release 4, and can handle
|
|
|
|
|
debugging records for C, in DWARF format, in ELF files. This support
|
|
|
|
|
is preliminary. If you bring up GDB on another SVR4 system, please
|
|
|
|
|
send mail to bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu to let us know what changes were
|
|
|
|
|
reqired (if any).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New Readline
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now uses the latest `readline' library. One user-visible change
|
|
|
|
|
is that two tabs will list possible command completions, which previously
|
|
|
|
|
required typing M-? (meta-question mark, or ESC ?).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bugs fixed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `stepi' bug that many of you noticed has been squashed.
|
|
|
|
|
Many bugs in C++ have been handled. Many more remain to be handled.
|
|
|
|
|
See the various ChangeLog files (primarily in gdb and bfd) for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* State of the MIPS world (in case you wondered):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can understand the symbol tables emitted by the compilers
|
|
|
|
|
supplied by most vendors of MIPS-based machines, including DEC. These
|
|
|
|
|
symbol tables are in a format that essentially nobody else uses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some versions of gcc come with an assembler post-processor called
|
|
|
|
|
mips-tfile. This program is required if you want to do source-level
|
|
|
|
|
debugging of gcc-compiled programs. I believe FSF does not ship
|
|
|
|
|
mips-tfile with gcc version 1, but it will eventually come with gcc
|
|
|
|
|
version 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Debugging of g++ output remains a problem. g++ version 1.xx does not
|
|
|
|
|
really support it at all. (If you're lucky, you should be able to get
|
|
|
|
|
line numbers and stack traces to work, but no parameters or local
|
|
|
|
|
variables.) With some work it should be possible to improve the
|
|
|
|
|
situation somewhat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When gcc version 2 is released, you will have somewhat better luck.
|
|
|
|
|
However, even then you will get confusing results for inheritance and
|
|
|
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will eventually provide full debugging of g++ output on
|
|
|
|
|
DECstations. This will probably involve some kind of stabs-in-ecoff
|
|
|
|
|
encapulation, but the details have not been worked out yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.2:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improved configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only one copy of `configure' exists now, and it is not self-modifying.
|
|
|
|
|
Porting BFD is simpler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Stepping improved
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `step' and `next' commands now only stop at the first instruction
|
|
|
|
|
of a source line. This prevents the multiple stops that used to occur
|
|
|
|
|
in switch statements, for-loops, etc. `Step' continues to stop if a
|
|
|
|
|
function that has debugging information is called within the line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bug fixing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lots of small bugs fixed. More remain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New host supported (not target)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intel 386 PC clone running Mach i386-none-mach
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Multiple source language support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has internal scaffolding to handle several source languages.
|
|
|
|
|
It determines the type of each source file from its filename extension,
|
|
|
|
|
and will switch expression parsing and number formatting to match the
|
|
|
|
|
language of the function in the currently selected stack frame.
|
|
|
|
|
You can also specifically set the language to be used, with
|
|
|
|
|
`set language c' or `set language modula-2'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GDB and Modula-2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now has preliminary support for the GNU Modula-2 compiler,
|
|
|
|
|
currently under development at the State University of New York at
|
|
|
|
|
Buffalo. Development of both GDB and the GNU Modula-2 compiler will
|
|
|
|
|
continue through the fall of 1991 and into 1992.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other Modula-2 compilers are currently not supported, and attempting to
|
|
|
|
|
debug programs compiled with them will likely result in an error as the
|
|
|
|
|
symbol table is read. Feel free to work on it, though!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are hooks in GDB for strict type checking and range checking,
|
|
|
|
|
in the `Modula-2 philosophy', but they do not currently work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* set write on/off
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can now write to executable and core files (e.g. patch
|
|
|
|
|
a variable's value). You must turn this switch on, specify
|
|
|
|
|
the file ("exec foo" or "core foo"), *then* modify it, e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
by assigning a new value to a variable. Modifications take
|
|
|
|
|
effect immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Automatic SunOS shared library reading
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you run your program, GDB automatically determines where its
|
|
|
|
|
shared libraries (if any) have been loaded, and reads their symbols.
|
|
|
|
|
The `share' command is no longer needed. This also works when
|
|
|
|
|
examining core files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* set listsize
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can specify the number of lines that the `list' command shows.
|
|
|
|
|
The default is 10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New machines supported (host and target)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SGI Iris (MIPS) running Irix V3: mips-sgi-irix or iris
|
|
|
|
|
Sony NEWS (68K) running NEWSOS 3.x: m68k-sony-sysv or news
|
|
|
|
|
Ultracomputer (29K) running Sym1: a29k-nyu-sym1 or ultra3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New hosts supported (not targets)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IBM RT/PC: romp-ibm-aix or rtpc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New targets supported (not hosts)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMD 29000 embedded with COFF a29k-none-coff
|
|
|
|
|
AMD 29000 embedded with a.out a29k-none-aout
|
|
|
|
|
Ultracomputer remote kernel debug a29k-nyu-kern
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New remote interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMD 29000 Adapt
|
|
|
|
|
AMD 29000 Minimon
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Changes in GDB-4.0:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New Facilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wide output is wrapped at good places to make the output more readable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gdb now supports cross-debugging from a host machine of one type to a
|
|
|
|
|
target machine of another type. Communication with the target system
|
|
|
|
|
is over serial lines. The ``target'' command handles connecting to the
|
|
|
|
|
remote system; the ``load'' command will download a program into the
|
|
|
|
|
remote system. Serial stubs for the m68k and i386 are provided. Gdb
|
|
|
|
|
also supports debugging of realtime processes running under VxWorks,
|
|
|
|
|
using SunRPC Remote Procedure Calls over TCP/IP to talk to a debugger
|
|
|
|
|
stub on the target system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New CPUs supported include the AMD 29000 and Intel 960.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now reads object files and symbol tables via a ``binary file''
|
|
|
|
|
library, which allows a single copy of GDB to debug programs of multiple
|
|
|
|
|
object file types such as a.out and coff.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is now a GDB reference card in "doc/refcard.tex". (Make targets
|
|
|
|
|
refcard.dvi and refcard.ps are available to format it).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Control-Variable user interface simplified
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All variables that control the operation of the debugger can be set
|
|
|
|
|
by the ``set'' command, and displayed by the ``show'' command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, ``set prompt new-gdb=>'' will change your prompt to new-gdb=>.
|
|
|
|
|
``Show prompt'' produces the response:
|
|
|
|
|
Gdb's prompt is new-gdb=>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What follows are the NEW set commands. The command ``help set'' will
|
|
|
|
|
print a complete list of old and new set commands. ``help set FOO''
|
|
|
|
|
will give a longer description of the variable FOO. ``show'' will show
|
|
|
|
|
all of the variable descriptions and their current settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
confirm on/off: Enables warning questions for operations that are
|
|
|
|
|
hard to recover from, e.g. rerunning the program while
|
|
|
|
|
it is already running. Default is ON.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
editing on/off: Enables EMACS style command line editing
|
|
|
|
|
of input. Previous lines can be recalled with
|
|
|
|
|
control-P, the current line can be edited with control-B,
|
|
|
|
|
you can search for commands with control-R, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Default is ON.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
history filename NAME: NAME is where the gdb command history
|
|
|
|
|
will be stored. The default is .gdb_history,
|
|
|
|
|
or the value of the environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
GDBHISTFILE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
history size N: The size, in commands, of the command history. The
|
|
|
|
|
default is 256, or the value of the environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
HISTSIZE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
history save on/off: If this value is set to ON, the history file will
|
|
|
|
|
be saved after exiting gdb. If set to OFF, the
|
|
|
|
|
file will not be saved. The default is OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
history expansion on/off: If this value is set to ON, then csh-like
|
|
|
|
|
history expansion will be performed on
|
|
|
|
|
command line input. The default is OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
radix N: Sets the default radix for input and output. It can be set
|
|
|
|
|
to 8, 10, or 16. Note that the argument to "radix" is interpreted
|
|
|
|
|
in the current radix, so "set radix 10" is always a no-op.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
height N: This integer value is the number of lines on a page. Default
|
|
|
|
|
is 24, the current `stty rows'' setting, or the ``li#''
|
|
|
|
|
setting from the termcap entry matching the environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable TERM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
width N: This integer value is the number of characters on a line.
|
|
|
|
|
Default is 80, the current `stty cols'' setting, or the ``co#''
|
|
|
|
|
setting from the termcap entry matching the environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable TERM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: ``set screensize'' is obsolete. Use ``set height'' and
|
|
|
|
|
``set width'' instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
print address on/off: Print memory addresses in various command displays,
|
|
|
|
|
such as stack traces and structure values. Gdb looks
|
|
|
|
|
more ``symbolic'' if you turn this off; it looks more
|
|
|
|
|
``machine level'' with it on. Default is ON.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
print array on/off: Prettyprint arrays. New convenient format! Default
|
|
|
|
|
is OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
print demangle on/off: Print C++ symbols in "source" form if on,
|
|
|
|
|
"raw" form if off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
print asm-demangle on/off: Same, for assembler level printouts
|
|
|
|
|
like instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
print vtbl on/off: Prettyprint C++ virtual function tables. Default is OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for Epoch Environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The epoch environment is a version of Emacs v18 with windowing. One
|
|
|
|
|
new command, ``inspect'', is identical to ``print'', except that if you
|
|
|
|
|
are running in the epoch environment, the value is printed in its own
|
|
|
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for Shared Libraries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB can now debug programs and core files that use SunOS shared libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
Symbols from a shared library cannot be referenced
|
|
|
|
|
before the shared library has been linked with the program (this
|
|
|
|
|
happens after you type ``run'' and before the function main() is entered).
|
|
|
|
|
At any time after this linking (including when examining core files
|
|
|
|
|
from dynamically linked programs), gdb reads the symbols from each
|
|
|
|
|
shared library when you type the ``sharedlibrary'' command.
|
|
|
|
|
It can be abbreviated ``share''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sharedlibrary REGEXP: Load shared object library symbols for files
|
|
|
|
|
matching a unix regular expression. No argument
|
|
|
|
|
indicates to load symbols for all shared libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
info sharedlibrary: Status of loaded shared libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Watchpoints
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A watchpoint stops execution of a program whenever the value of an
|
|
|
|
|
expression changes. Checking for this slows down execution
|
|
|
|
|
tremendously whenever you are in the scope of the expression, but is
|
|
|
|
|
quite useful for catching tough ``bit-spreader'' or pointer misuse
|
|
|
|
|
problems. Some machines such as the 386 have hardware for doing this
|
|
|
|
|
more quickly, and future versions of gdb will use this hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
watch EXP: Set a watchpoint (breakpoint) for an expression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
info watchpoints: Information about your watchpoints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
delete N: Deletes watchpoint number N (same as breakpoints).
|
|
|
|
|
disable N: Temporarily turns off watchpoint number N (same as breakpoints).
|
|
|
|
|
enable N: Re-enables watchpoint number N (same as breakpoints).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* C++ multiple inheritance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When used with a GCC version 2 compiler, GDB supports multiple inheritance
|
|
|
|
|
for C++ programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* C++ exception handling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gdb now supports limited C++ exception handling. Besides the existing
|
|
|
|
|
ability to breakpoint on an exception handler, gdb can breakpoint on
|
|
|
|
|
the raising of an exception (before the stack is peeled back to the
|
|
|
|
|
handler's context).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
catch FOO: If there is a FOO exception handler in the dynamic scope,
|
|
|
|
|
set a breakpoint to catch exceptions which may be raised there.
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple exceptions (``catch foo bar baz'') may be caught.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

* Minor command changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command ``call func (arg, arg, ...)'' now acts like the print
|
|
|
|
|
command, except it does not print or save a value if the function's result
|
|
|
|
|
is void. This is similar to dbx usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``up'' and ``down'' commands now always print the frame they end up
|
|
|
|
|
at; ``up-silently'' and `down-silently'' can be used in scripts to change
|
|
|
|
|
frames without printing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New directory command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'dir' now adds directories to the FRONT of the source search path.
|
|
|
|
|
The path starts off empty. Source files that contain debug information
|
|
|
|
|
about the directory in which they were compiled can be found even
|
|
|
|
|
with an empty path; Sun CC and GCC include this information. If GDB can't
|
|
|
|
|
find your source file in the current directory, type "dir .".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Configuring GDB for compilation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For normal use, type ``./configure host''. See README or gdb.texinfo
|
|
|
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDB now handles cross debugging. If you are remotely debugging between
|
|
|
|
|
two different machines, type ``./configure host -target=targ''.
|
|
|
|
|
Host is the machine where GDB will run; targ is the machine
|
|
|
|
|
where the program that you are debugging will run.
