On ia64-linux, GDB sometimes prints the following error when trying
to switch to a different task:
(gdb) task 3
Register 0 is not available
This is a random failure that sometimes happens, sometimes does not.
The error comes from the fact that the libunwind library is requesting
the value of register 0 (zero): This eventually leads us to
ia64-linux-nat.c:ia64_linux_fetch_register.
This function relies on ia64_cannot_fetch_register to determine
whether or not we have access to the register's value. The ptrace
interface does not provide the r0 value, and so we end up telling
the regcache that this register's value is not available. And yet,
for r0, we do not need to ask ptrace for its value, since it is
always zero.
So, the fix was to add a special rule for supplying a nul value
when regnum == IA64_GR0_REGNUM.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ia64-linux-nat.c (ia64_linux_fetch_register): Add special
handling for r0.
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.
