This change adds support for specifying a negative repeat count to all the formats of the 'x' command to examine memory backward. A new testcase 'examine-backward' is added to cover this new feature. Here's the example output from the new feature: <format 'i'> (gdb) bt #0 Func1 (n=42, p=0x40432e "hogehoge") at main.cpp:5 #1 0x00000000004041fa in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffdff8) at main.cpp:19 (gdb) x/-4i 0x4041fa 0x4041e5 <main(int, char**)+11>: mov %rsi,-0x10(%rbp) 0x4041e9 <main(int, char**)+15>: lea 0x13e(%rip),%rsi 0x4041f0 <main(int, char**)+22>: mov $0x2a,%edi 0x4041f5 <main(int, char**)+27>: callq 0x404147 <format 'x'> (gdb) x/-4xw 0x404200 0x4041f0 <main(int, char**)+22>: 0x00002abf 0xff4de800 0x76e8ffff 0xb8ffffff (gdb) x/-4 0x4041e0 <main(int, char**)+6>: 0x7d8910ec 0x758948fc 0x358d48f0 0x0000013e gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports a negative repeat count in the 'x' command. * printcmd.c (decode_format): Allow '-' in the parameter "string_ptr" to accept a negative repeat count. (find_instruction_backward): New function. (read_memory_backward): New function. (integer_is_zero): New function. (find_string_backward): New function. (do_examine): Use new functions to examine memory backward. (_initialize_printcmd): Mention that 'x' command supports a negative repeat count. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Examining Memory): Document negative repeat count in the 'x' command. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/examine-backward.c: New file. * gdb.base/examine-backward.exp: New file.
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.
