Support for printining non-trivial return values was recently added in

PowerPC, fix support for printing the function return value for non-trivial values.
The functionality can now be used to fix gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp.
The test just needs to be compiled with -fvar-tracking to enable GDB to
determine the address off the return buffer when the function is called.
The current output from the test:
34 return big_struct;
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp: continue to breakpoint: Break in print_large_struct
finish
warning: Cannot determine the function return value.
Try compiling with -fvar-tracking.
Run till exit from #0 return_large_struct () at binutils-gdb-current/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/retval-large-struct.c:34
main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffcd58) at binutils-gdb-current/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/retval-large-struct.c:44
44 return 0;
Value returned has type: struct big_struct_t. Cannot determine contents
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp: finish from return_large_struct
testcase binutils-gdb-current/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp completed in 1 seconds
This patch adds the command line argument -fvar-tracking to enable gdb to
determine the return vaule and thus fixing the test.
Patch tested on Power 10 with no regressions.
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.
