The last two tests in gdb.base/ending-run.exp case fail on Powerpc when the
system does not have the needed glibc debug-info files loaded. In this
case, gdb is not able to determine where execution stopped. This behavior
looks as follows for the test case:
The next to the last test does a next command when the program is stopped
at the closing bracket for main. The message printed is:
0x00007ffff7d01524 in ?? () from /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
which fails to match any of the test_multiple options.
The test then does another next command. On Powerpc, the
message printed it:
Cannot find bounds of current function
The test fails as the output does not match any of the options for the
gdb_test_multiple.
I checked the behavior on Powerpc to see if this is typical.
I ran gdb on the following simple program as shown below.
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
printf("Hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}
gdb ./hello_world
<snip the gdb start info>
Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word"...
Reading symbols from ./hello_world...
(No debugging symbols found in ./hello_world)
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x818
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/carll/hello_world
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
Breakpoint 1, 0x0000000100000818 in main ()
(gdb) n
Single stepping until exit from function main,
which has no line number information.
Hello, world!
0x00007ffff7d01524 in ?? () from /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
(gdb) n
Cannot find bounds of current function
So it would seem that the messages seen from the test case are
"normal" output for Powerpc when the debug-info is not available.
The following patch adds the output from Powerpc as an option
to the gdb_test_multiple statement, identifying the output as the expected
output on Powerpc without the needed debug-info files installed.
The patch has been tested on a Power 10 system and an Intel
64-bit system. No additional regression failures were seen on
either platform.
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.
