The test gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp fails on a gdb assert in function ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in file gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The assert is due to the missing IEEE 128-bit support in file gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The IBM long double was the initial float 128-bit support added by IBM The IEEE 128-bit support, which is similar IBM long double support, was made the default starting with GCC 12. The floating point format differences include the number of bits used to encode the exponent and significand. Also, IBM long double values are passed in a pair of floating point registers. The IEEE 128-bit value is passed in a single vector register. This patch fixes the gdb_assert (ok); in function ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c by adding IEEE FLOAT 128-bit type support for PowerPC. The patch has been tested on Power 10, ELFv2. It fixes the following list of regression failures on Power 10: gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp 192 gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp 76 gdb.base/structs.exp 9 The patch has been tested on Power 8 BE which is ELFv1.
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.
