Right now we always share per-BFD data across objfiles, if there is a BFD. This works fine. However, we're going to start sharing more data, and sometimes this data will come directly from sections of the BFD. If such a section has SEC_RELOC set, then the data coming from that section will not be truly sharable -- the section will be program-space-dependent, and re-read by gdb for each objfile. This patch disallows per-BFD sharing in this case. This is a bit "heavy" in that we could in theory examine each bit of shared data for suitability. However, that is more complicated, and SEC_RELOC is rare enough that I think we needn't bother. Note that the "no sharing" case is equivalent to "gdb works as it historically did". That is, the sharing is a new(-ish) optimization. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18. * gdb_bfd.c (struct gdb_bfd_data) <relocation_computed, needs_relocations>: New fields. (gdb_bfd_requires_relocations): New function. * gdb_bfd.h (gdb_bfd_requires_relocations): Declare. * objfiles.c (get_objfile_bfd_data): Disallow sharing if the BFD needs relocations applied.
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.
