On mips-irix, the debugger has trouble stepping over the following
line of code:
S: Shape'Class := R; <<<<---- STOP here
Here is what happens:
(gdb) n
warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x7fff2bd8.
GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x7fff2bd8
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x7fff2bd8 for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set
heuristic-fence-post' command.
0x7fff2bd8 in ?? ()
The program does in fact jump to this code location, which is a trampoline
located on the stack (there is an implicit call to a routine internally
generated by the Ada expander). As it is on the stack, GDB is naturally
unable to find the bounds of the current function, or any debugging
information, and is thus unable to continue.
This patch adds support for this sort of trampoline.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mips-irix-tdep.c (mips_irix_n32_stack_tramp_frame_init): New
function.
(mips_irix_n32_stack_tramp_frame): New static global.
(mips_irix_init_abi): Add mips_irix_n32_stack_tramp_frame to
list of unwinder.
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.
