It has been observed that the GNU linker can sometimes improperly
set the address of the .bss section in such a way that it overlaps
with the end of the .data section. This causes problems in GDB
when trying to print the value of variables located in that section,
because the loader appears to be gracefully but silently adjusting
the address of the .bss section to avoid the overlap, thus causing
a mismatch between the address where GDB thinks it is, vs the address
where it actually lives.
This patch works around the problem while it a fix in the linker
is being explored.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-nat.c (bss_data_overlap): New function.
(vmap_symtab): Use it to adjust the .bss section's offset.
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.
