We already have a command 'maint info sections', this command prints all sections from all known object files. However, GDB maintains a second section table internally. This section table is used when GDB wants to read directly from an object file rather than actually reading memory on the target. As such only some sections (the allocatable ones) are added to this secondary section table. I recently ran into a situation where some of GDB's optimisations for reading directly from the files were not working. In 'maint info sections' I could see that GDB knew about the object file, and did know about the sections that it _should_ have been reading from. But I couldn't ask GDB which sections it had copied into its secondary section table. This commit adds a new command 'maint info target-sections' that fills this gap. This command lists only those sections that GDB has copied into its secondary table. You'll notice that the testsuite includes a comment indicating that there's a bug in GDB. Normally this is not something I would add to the testsuite, instead we should raise an actual bugzilla bug and then mark an xfail, however, a later patch in this series will remove this comment once the actual bug in GDB is fixed. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention new 'maint info target-sections' command. * maint.c (maintenance_info_target_sections): New function. (_initialize_maint_cmds): Register new command. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Files): Document new 'maint info target-sections' command. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/maint-info-sections.exp: Add new tests. (check_maint_info_target_sections_output): New proc. |
