Consider this GDB session:
$ gdb -q
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver - ~/tmp/hello.x
Remote debugging using | gdbserver - ~/tmp/hello.x
... snip ...
(gdb) info connections
Num What Description
* 1 remote gdbserver - ~/tmp/hello.x Remote target using gdb-specific protocol
(gdb) python conn = gdb.selected_inferior().connection
(gdb) python print(conn.details)
gdbserver - ~/tmp/hello.x
(gdb)
I think there are two things wrong here, first in the "What" column of
the 'info connections' output, I think the text should be:
remote | gdbserver - ~/tmp/hello.x
to correctly show the user how the connection was established. And in
a similar fashion, I think that the `details` string of the
gdb.TargetConnection object should be:
| gdbserver - ~/tmp/hello.x
This commit makes this change. Currently the '|' is detected and
removed in gdb/serial.c. The string passed to the pipe_ops
structure (from gdb/ser-pipe.c), doesn't then, contain the `|`, this
is instead implied by the fact that it is a pipes based implementation
of the serial_ops interface.
After this commit we still detect the `|` in gdb/serial.c, but we now
store the full string (including the `|`) in the serial::name member
variable.
For pipe based serial connections, this name is only used for
displaying the two fields I mention above, and in pipe_open (from
gdb/ser-pipe.c), and in pipe_open, we now know to skip over the `|`.
The benefit I see from this change is that GDB's output now more
accurately reflects the commands used to start a target, thus making
it easier for a user to understand what is going on.
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.
