This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start
of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This makes sure that the types of the arguments are taken into account
when performing an inferior function call to a non-C (or C-like)
function. In particular, this makes sure that the arguments are
appropriatly converted to the correct type.
For instance, on x86_64-linux, with the following Ada code:
procedure Set_Float (F : Float) is
begin
Global_Float := F;
end Set_Float;
The following sequence shows that Float arguments are incorrectly
passed (Ada's Float type is the equivalent of type "float" in C):
(gdb) call set_float (2.0)
(gdb) print global_float
$1 = 0.0
Putting a breakpoint inside set_float to inspect the value of
register xmm0 gives the first hint of the problem:
(gdb) p $xmm0
$2 = (v4_float => (0 => 0.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0),
v2_double => (0 => 2.0, 0.0),
[...]
It shows that the argument was passed as a double.
The code responsible for doing appropriate type conversions
for the arguments (value_arg_coerce) found that our function
was not prototyped, and thus could not use typing information
for the arguments. Instead, it defaulted to the value of "set
coerce-float-to-double", which by default is true, to determine
the argument type.
This patch fixes the problem by setting the PROTOTYPE flag
for all functions of any language except C and Objective C.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (prototyped_function_p): New function.
(read_subroutine_type): Use it.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/float_param: New testcase.
