https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19893 I've traced the main source of the problem to pieced_value_funcs.coerce_ref not being implemented. Since gdb always assumes references are implemented as pointers, this causes it to think that it's dealing with a NULL pointer, thus breaking any operations involving synthetic references. What I did here was implementing pieced_value_funcs.coerce_ref using some of the synthetic pointer handling code from indirect_pieced_value, as Pedro suggested. I also made a few adjustments to the reference printing code so that it correctly shows either the address of the referenced value or (if it's non-addressable) the "<synthetic pointer>" string. I also wrote some unit tests based on Dwarf::assemble; these took a while to make because in most cases I needed a synthetic reference to a physical variable. Additionally, I started working on a unit test for classes that have a vtable, but ran into a few issues so that'll probably go in a future patch. One thing that should definitely be fixed is that proc function_range (called for MACRO_AT_func) will always try to compile/link using gcc with the default options instead of g++, thus breaking C++ compilations that require e.g. libstdc++. gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2loc.c (coerce_pieced_ref, indirect_synthetic_pointer, fetch_const_value_from_synthetic_pointer): New functions. (indirect_pieced_value): Move lower half to indirect_synthetic_pointer. (pieced_value_funcs): Implement coerce_ref. * valops.c (value_addr): Call coerce_ref for synthetic references. * valprint.c (valprint_check_validity): Return true for synthetic references. Also, don't show "<synthetic pointer>" if they reference addressable values. (generic_val_print_ref): Handle synthetic references. Also move some code to print_ref_address. (print_ref_address, get_value_addr_contents): New functions. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.dwarf2/implref.exp: Rename to... * gdb.dwarf2/implref-const.exp: ...this. Also add more test statements. * gdb.dwarf2/implref-array.c: New file. * gdb.dwarf2/implref-array.exp: Likewise. * gdb.dwarf2/implref-global.c: Likewise. * gdb.dwarf2/implref-global.exp: Likewise. * gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.c: Likewise. * gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.exp: Likewise.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
