sim: fixes for libopcodes styled disassembler
changes were made to the simulator source to handle the new libopcodes
disassembler styling API.
Unfortunately, these changes broke building GDB with the erc32 (sparc)
simulator, like this:
../src/configure --target=sparc-linux
make all-gdb
....
/usr/bin/ld: ../sim/erc32/libsim.a(interf.o): in function `sim_open':
/tmp/build/sim/../../src/sim/erc32/interf.c:247: undefined reference to `fprintf_styled'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The problem is that in commit 7b01c1cc1d11 the fprintf_styled function
was added into sis.c. This file is only used when building the 'run'
binary, that is, the standalone simulator, and is not included in the
libsim.a library.
Now, the obvious fix would be to move fprintf_styled into libsim.a,
however, that turns out to be tricky.
The erc32 simulator currently has two copies of the function run_sim,
one in sis.c, and one in interf.c, both of these copies are global.
Currently, the 'run' binary links fine, though I suspect this might be
pure luck. When I tried moving fprintf_styled into interf.c, I ran
into multiple-definition (of run_sim) errors. I suspect that by
requiring the linker to pull in fprintf_styled from libsim.a I was
changing the order in which symbols were loaded, and the linker was
now seeing both copies of run_sim, while currently we only see one
copy.
The ideal solution of course, would be to merge the two similar, but
slightly different copies of run_sim, and just use the one copy. Then
we could safely move fprintf_styled into interf.c too, and all would
be good.
But I don't have time right now to start debugging the erc32
simulator, so I wanted a solution that fixes the build without
introducing multiple definition errors.
The easiest solution I think is to just have two copies of
fprintf_styled, one in sis.c, and one in interf.c. Unlike run_sim,
these two copies are both static, so we will not run into multiple
definition issues with this function. The functions themselves are
not very big, so it's not a huge amount of duplicate code.
I am very aware that this is not an ideal solution, and I would
welcome anyone who wants to take on fixing the run_sim problem
properly, and then cleanup the fprintf_styled duplication.
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.
