An earlier version of this patch used the returned block in conjunction with BLOCK_ENTRY_PC to set stop_func_start in fill_in_stop_func() in infrun.c. While I think this was the correct thing to do, changes to find_inferior_partial_function could potentially end up with stop_func_end < stop_func_start, which is definitely wrong. For this case, we want to set both stop_func_start and stop_func_end to the start and end of the range containing the function's entry pc. I think that this functionality will be useful in many other places too - it probably ought to be used in all of the various prologue analyzers in GDB. The change to infrun.c was simple: the call to find_pc_partial_function was replaced with a call to find_function_entry_range_from_pc. The difference between these two functions is that find_pc_partial_entry_function will (potentially) return the start and end address corresponding to the range in which PC is found, but find_function_entry_range_from_pc will (again, potentially) return the start and end address of the range containing the entry pc. find_pc_partial_function has the property that *ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR. This condition does not necessarily hold for the outputs of find_function_entry_range_from_pc. It should be noted that for functions which contain only a single range, the outputs of find_pc_partial_function and find_function_entry_range_from_pc are identical. I think it might happen that find_function_entry_range_from_pc will come to be used in place of many of the calls to find_pc_partial_function within GDB. Care must be taken in making this change, however, since some of this code depends on the *ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR property. Finally, a note regarding the name: I had initially chosen a different name with a find_pc_partial_ prefix, but Simon suggested the current name citing the goal of eventually making naming consistent using the form find_X_from_Y. In this case X is "function_entry_range" and Y is "pc". Both the name and rationale made sense to me, so that's how it came to be. gdb/ChangeLog: * infrun.c (fill_in_stop_func): Use find_function_entry_range_from_pc in place of find_pc_partial_function. * blockframe.c (find_function_entry_range_from_pc): New function. * symtab.h (find_function_entry_range_from_pc): Declare and document.
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.
