Years ago, these functions used to return errno/EIO. Later, through a
series of changes that intended to remove native/remote differences,
they ended up returning a target_xfer_status in disguise.
Unlike target_xfer_partial&co, the point of target_read_memory&co is
to either fully succeed or fail. On error, they always return
TARGET_XFER_E_IO. So there's no real point in casting the return of
target_read_memory to a target_xfer_status to pass it to memory_error.
Instead, it results in clearer code to simply decouple
target_read_memory&co's return from target_xfer_status.
This fixes build errors like this in C++ mode:
../../src/gdb/corefile.c: In function ‘void read_stack(CORE_ADDR, gdb_byte*, ssize_t)’:
../../src/gdb/corefile.c:276:34: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘target_xfer_status’ [-fpermissive]
memory_error (status, memaddr);
^
../../src/gdb/corefile.c:216:1: error: initializing argument 1 of ‘void memory_error(target_xfer_status, CORE_ADDR)’ [-fpermissive]
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-10-27 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* alpha-tdep.c (alpha_read_insn): Always pass TARGET_XFER_E_IO to
memory_error. Rename local 'status' to 'res'.
* c-lang.c (c_get_string): Always pass TARGET_XFER_E_IO to
memory_error.
* corefile.c (read_stack, read_code, write_memory): Always pass
TARGET_XFER_E_IO to memory_error.
* disasm.c (dis_asm_memory_error): Always pass TARGET_XFER_E_IO to
memory_error. Rename parameter 'status' to 'err'.
(dump_insns): Rename local 'status' to 'err'.
* mips-tdep.c (mips_fetch_instruction): Rename parameter 'statusp'
to 'errp'. Rename local 'status' to 'err'. Always pass
TARGET_XFER_E_IO to memory_error.
(mips_breakpoint_from_pc): Rename local 'status' to 'err'.
* target.c (target_read_memory, target_read_raw_memory)
(target_read_stack, target_read_code, target_write_memory)
(target_write_raw_memory): Return -1 on error instead of
TARGET_XFER_E_IO.
* valprint.c (val_print_string): Rename local 'errcode' to 'err'.
Always pass TARGET_XFER_E_IO to memory_error. Update comment.
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.
