A relatively recent patch support for explicit locations, and part
of that patch cleaned up the way we parse breakpoint locations.
Unfortunatly, a small regression crept in for "*<EXPR>" breakpoint
locations. In particular, on PIE programs, one can see the issue by
doing the following, with any program:
(gdb) b *main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x51a: file hello.c, line 3.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/hello
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Just for the record, this regression was introduced by:

Subject: Explicit locations: introduce address locations
What happens is that the patch makes the implicit assumption that
the address computed the first time is static, as if it was designed
to only support litteral expressions (Eg. "*0x1234"). This allows
the shortcut of not re-computing the breakpoint location's address
when re-setting breakpoints.
However, this does not work in general, as demonstrated in the example
above.
This patch plugs that hole simply by saving the original expression
used to compute the address as part of the address location, so as
to then re-evaluate that expression during breakpoint re-set.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* location.h (new_address_location): Add new parameters
"addr_string" and "addr_string_len".
(get_address_string_location): Add declaration.
* location.c (new_address_location): Add new parameters
"addr_string" and "addr_string_len". If not NULL, store
a copy of the addr_string in the new location as well.
(get_address_string_location): New function.
(string_to_event_location): Update call to new_address_location.
* linespec.c (event_location_to_sals) <ADDRESS_LOCATION>:
Save the event location in the parser's state before
passing it to convert_address_location_to_sals.
* breakpoint.c (create_thread_event_breakpoint): Update call
to new_address_location.
(init_breakpoint_sal): Get the event location's string, if any,
and use it to update call to new_address_location.
* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init):
Update call to new_address_location.
* spu-tdep.c (spu_catch_start): Likewise.
* config/djgpp/fnchange.lst: Add entries for
gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break-fun-addr1.c and
gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break-fun-addr2.c.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/break-fun-addr.exp: New file.
* gdb.base/break-fun-addr1.c: New file.
* gdb.base/break-fun-addr2.c: New file.
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.
