A modified version of the gnat compiler (TBH I don't know if the
modifications are relevant to this bug or not, but I figured I'd
mention it) can generate a DWARF location expression like:
<1><1201>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure)
<1202> DW_AT_location : 32 byte block: 12 31 29 28 4 0 30 2f 12 0 14 30 2d 28 4 0 14 2f 1 0 30 34 1e 23 3 9 fc 1a 16 13 16 13 (DW_OP_dup; DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_eq; DW_OP_bra: 4; DW_OP_lit0; DW_OP_skip: 18; DW_OP_over; DW_OP_lit0; DW_OP_lt; DW_OP_bra: 4; DW_OP_over; DW_OP_skip: 1; DW_OP_lit0; DW_OP_lit4; DW_OP_mul; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 3; DW_OP_const1s: -4; DW_OP_and; DW_OP_swap; DW_OP_drop; DW_OP_swap; DW_OP_drop)
<2><1279>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<127a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1a5a): p__logical_channel_t
<127e> DW_AT_byte_size : 18 byte block: fd 43 12 0 0 97 94 1 99 34 0 0 0 23 7 9 fc 1a (DW_OP_GNU_variable_value: <0x1243>; DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_deref_size: 1; DW_OP_call4: <0x1201>; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 7; DW_OP_const1s: -4; DW_OP_and)
When evaluated, this gives:
Incompatible types on DWARF stack
In Jakub's original message about DW_OP_GNU_variable_value:
https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2017-02/msg01499.html
.. it says:
The intended behavior is that the debug info consumer computes the
value of that referenced variable at the current PC, and if it can
compute it and pushes the value as a generic type integer into the
DWARF stack
Instead, gdb is using the variable's type -- but this fails with some
operations, like DW_OP_and, which expect the types to match.
I believe what was intended was for the value to be cast to the DWARF
"untyped" type, which is what this patch implements. This patch also
updates varval.exp to exhibit the bug.

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.
