Subject: [RFA] Use i386_use_watchpoints for go32v2, bds and windows native
Date: Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:22:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001c98a44$29b02a30$7d107e90$@u-strasbg.fr> (raw)

  I started a while ago to write
a patch to add support for hardware watchpoints
in windows gdbserver.

  After some success in writing the adequate code,
I realized that this could not work with
a GDB compiled for cygwin in 'target remote' mode.

  The reason is the following:
cygwin native nm-cygwin.h header
includes nm-i386.h header
with I386_USE_GENERIC_WATCHPOINTS defined,
but not I386_WATCHPOINTS_IN_TARGET_VECTOR.
 
  This then defines the macros
target_insert_watchpoint
and 
target_remove_watchpoint
and thus even after
setting 'target remote'
the same i386_insert_watchpoint
function is still called, whereas remote_insert_watchpoint
should be called.
Using 'set debug target 1' also allows to see
that the current_target->to_insert_watchpoint 
is not called for current cygwin native GDB.

  The correction of this problem is easy, as it is already implemented
for linux.
  The patch only adds
#define I386_WATCHPOINTS_IN_TARGET_VECTOR
to all config/i386/nm-*.h
that defines I386_USE_GENERIC_WATCHPOINTS 
before including nm-i386.h
and add the corresponding call
to i386_use_watchpoints (target)
in the native file when the target vector gets   
defined.

  I found only three places where this happens:
nm-go32.h with native go32-nat.c
nm-fbsd.h with native i386bsd-nat.c
and 
nm-cygwin.h and nm-cygwin64.h with native windows-nat.c

  I was able to test that FreeBSD
compiles with that patch, and that
the 'set debug target 1'
does write 'target_insert_watchpoint'
(which is not the case without the patch).

PS1: Cygwin testsuite runs show
no significant change.

PS2: It could have seemed more logical to 
insert the call to i386_use_watchpoints
to i386-windows-nat.c and amd64-windows-nat.c
in case we later support other processors for windows,
but the required functions
cygwin_set_dr, cygwin_set_dr7 and cygwin_get_dr6
are also in windows-nat.c file,
and there is still a lot of code that is i386
specific in that file...

ChangeLog entry:

2009-02-08  Pierre Muller  <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>

	* Extend use of i386_use_watchpoints to all i386 native files
	using hardware watchpoints.
	go32-nat.c (init_go32_ops): Call i386_use_watchpoints.
	i386bsd-nat.c (i386bsd_target): Ditto.
	windows-nat.c (init_windows_ops): Ditto.
	config/i386/nm-cygwin.h: Define I386_WATCHPOINTS_IN_TARGET_VECTOR.
	config/i386/nm-cygwin64.h: Ditto.
	config/i386/nm-fbsd.h: Ditto.
	config/i386/nm-go32.h: Ditto.
