In the gdb.ada/fixed_points_function.exp testcase, we have the following
Ada code...
type FP1_Type is delta 0.1 range -1.0 .. +1.0; -- Ordinary
function Call_FP1 (F : FP1_Type) return FP1_Type is
begin
FP1_Arg := F;
return FP1_Arg;
end Call_FP1;
... used as follow:
F1 : FP1_Type := 1.0;
F1 := Call_FP1 (F1);
The testcase, among other things, verifies that "return" works
properly as follow:
| (gdb) return 1.0
| Make pck.call_fp1 return now? (y or n) y
| [...]
| 9 F1 := Call_FP1 (F1);
| (gdb) next
| (gdb) print f1
| $1 = 0.0625
The output of the last command shows that we returned the wrong
value. The value printed gives a clue about the problem, since
it is 1/16th of the value we expected, where 1/16 is FP1_Type's
scaling factor.
The problem, here, comes from the fact that the function
handling return values for base types (ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base)
writes the return value using unpack_long which, upon seeing that
the value being unpacked is a fixed point type, applies the scaling
factor, to get the integer-representation of our fixed-point value
(similar to what it does with floats, for instance).
So, the fix consists in teaching ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base
about fixed-point types, and to avoid the unwanted application
of the scaling factor.
Note that the "finish" function, on the other hand, does not
suffer from this issue, simply becaue the value returned by
the function is read from register without the use of a type,
thus avoiding an unwanted application of a scaling factor.
No test added, as this change is already tested by
gdb.ada/fixed_points_function.exp.

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.
