GDB reports duplicate local vars with "<optimized out>" values for
inlined functions that are compiled with Clang.
Suppose we have
__attribute__((always_inline))
static void aFunction() {
int a = 42;
if(a > 2) {
int value = a;
value += 10; /* break here */
}
}
The "info locals" command at the "break here" line gives the following
output:
...
Breakpoint 1, aFunction () at test.c:6
6 value += 10; /* break here */
(gdb) info locals
value = 42
a = 42
value = <optimized out>
(gdb)
The reason is, inlined functions that are compiled by Clang do not
contain DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes in the DW_TAG_lexical_block
entries. See
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49953
E.g. the DIE of the inlined function above is
0x00000087: DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine
DW_AT_abstract_origin (0x0000002a "aFunction")
DW_AT_low_pc (0x00000000004004b2)
DW_AT_high_pc (0x00000000004004d2)
DW_AT_call_file ("/tmp/test.c")
DW_AT_call_line (11)
DW_AT_call_column (0x03)
0x0000009b: DW_TAG_variable
DW_AT_location (DW_OP_fbreg -4)
DW_AT_abstract_origin (0x00000032 "a")
0x000000a3: DW_TAG_lexical_block
DW_AT_low_pc (0x00000000004004c3)
DW_AT_high_pc (0x00000000004004d2)
0x000000b0: DW_TAG_variable
DW_AT_location (DW_OP_fbreg -8)
DW_AT_abstract_origin (0x0000003e "value")
This causes GDB to fail matching the concrete lexical scope with the
corresponding abstract entry. Hence, the local vars of the abstract
function that are contained in the lexical scope are read separately
(and thus, in addition to) the local vars of the concrete scope.
Because the abstract definitions of the vars do not contain location
information, we see the extra 'value = <optimized out>' above.
This bug is highly related to PR gdb/25695, but the root cause is not
exactly the same. In PR gdb/25695, GCC emits an extra
DW_TAG_lexical_block without an DW_AT_abstract_origin that wraps the
body of the inlined function. That is, the trees of the abstract DIE
for the function and its concrete instance are structurally not the
same. In the case of using Clang, the trees have the same structure.
To tackle the Clang case, when traversing the children of the concrete
instance root, keep a reference to the child of the abstract DIE that
corresponds to the concrete child, so that we can match the two DIEs
heuristically in case of missing DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes.
The updated gdb.opt/inline-locals.exp test has been checked with GCC
5-10 and Clang 5-11.

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.
