This patch eliminates an error thrown when accessing the value of a pointer to a structure where the pointer has been optimized out and 'set print object' is 'on'. The error shows up as the rather ugly value of the pointer variable in Eclipse. If 'set print object' is 'on', GDB tries to determine the actual (derived) type of the object rather than the declared type, which requires dereferencing the pointer, which in this cases throws an error because the pointer has been optimized out. The fix is to simply ignore the 'print object on' setting for pointers or references to structures when they have been optimized out. This means we just get the declared type instead of the actual type, because in this case that's the best that we can do. To implement the fix, value_optimized_out was modified so that it no longer throws an error when it fails to fetch the specified value. Instead, it just checks value->optimized_out. If we can't definitively say that the value is optimized out, then we assume it is not. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-04-06 Don Breazeal <donb@codesourcery.com> * value.c (value_actual_type): Don't try to get rtti type of the value if it has been optimized out. (value_optimized_out): If a memory access error occurs, just check vaue->optimized_out.
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.
