This is a bug that's been detected while doing the readnever work. If you use 'symbol-file' or 'add-symbol-file', the position of each argument passed to the command matters. This means that if you do: (gdb) symbol-file -readnow /foo/bar The symbol file specified will (correctly) have all of its symbols read by GDB (because of the -readnow flag). However, if you do: (gdb) symbol-file /foo/bar -readnow GDB will silently ignore the -readnow flag, because it was specified after the filename. This is not a good thing to do and may confuse the user. To address that, I've modified the argument parsing mechanisms of symbol_file_command and add_symbol_file_command to be "position-independent". I have also added one error call at the end of add_symbol_file_command's argument parsing logic, which now clearly complains if no filename has been specified. Both commands now support the "--" option to stop argument processing. This patch provides a testcase for both commands, in order to make sure that the argument order does not matter. It has been regression-tested on BuildBot. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-12-01 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * symfile.c (symbol_file_command): Call 'symbol_file_add_main_1' only after processing all command line options. (add_symbol_file_command): Modify logic to make arguments position-independent. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-12-01 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * gdb.base/relocate.exp: Add tests to guarantee that arguments to 'symbol-file' and 'add-symbol-file' can be position-independent.
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.
