New in v2:
- Disable sharing only for -readnow objfiles, not all objfiles.
As described in PR 27541, we hit an internal error when loading a binary
the standard way and then loading it with the -readnow option:
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory ~/a.out -ex "set confirm off" -ex "file -readnow ~/a.out"
Reading symbols from /home/simark/a.out...

/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:8098: internal-error: void create_all_comp_units(dwarf2_per_objfile*): Assertion `per_objfile->per_bfd->all_comp_units.empty ()' failed.
This is a recurring problem that exposes a design issue in the DWARF
per-BFD sharing feature. Things work well when loading a binary with
the same method (with/without index, with/without readnow) twice in a
row. But they don't work so well when loading a binary with different
methods. See this previous fix, for example:
efb763a5ea35 ("gdb: check for partial symtab presence in dwarf2_initialize_objfile")
That one handled the case where the first load is normal (uses partial
symbols) and the second load uses an index.
The problem is that when loading an objfile with a method A, we create a
dwarf2_per_bfd and some dwarf2_per_cu_data and initialize them with the
data belonging to that method. When loading another obfile sharing the
same BFD but with a different method B, it's not clear how to re-use the
dwarf2_per_bfd/dwarf2_per_cu_data previously created, because they
contain the data specific to method A.
I think the most sensible fix would be to not share a dwarf2_per_bfd
between two objfiles loaded with different methods. That means that two
objfiles sharing the same BFD and loaded the same way would share a
dwarf2_per_bfd. Two objfiles sharing the same BFD but loaded with
different methods would use two different dwarf2_per_bfd structures.
However, this isn't a trivial change. So to fix the known issue quickly
(including in the gdb 10 branch), this patch just disables all
dwarf2_per_bfd sharing for objfiles using READNOW.
Generalize the gdb.base/index-cache-load-twice.exp test to test all
the possible combinations of loading a file with partial symtabs, index
and readnow. Move it to gdb.dwarf2, since it really exercises features
of the DWARF reader.

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.
