I try to test building gdb with the mainline of gcc and it fails
to compile with the following error:

/home/gates/pinskia/src/gnu/combinesources/src/gdb/dwarf2read.c: In 
function `dwarf2_create_include_psymtab':
/home/gates/pinskia/src/gnu/combinesources/src/gdb/dwarf2read.c:1244: 
error: invalid lvalue in assignment

Could you fix the problem, please?

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

Picking up a dropped thread from January:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2004-01/msg00015.html

Some comments:

It's fine for GDB core code to assume that the psymtabs mention every
source file in the program.  They're supposed to.  The whole purpose
of the psymtabs is to act as an index for the full symbol information,
so that without taking the time/memory to read full symbols, we can at
least find the compilation unit we do need to read.  If that index
doesn't mention a source file, then it's incomplete.

I'm not too enthusiastic about Eli's suggestion that we put off
scanning for source file names until we get a filename we can't find.
It would help: we can find source files most of the time already, and
when the second scan was needed, it wouldn't be any more work than
what Joel's proposing we do every time.  But it's adding a third phase
to debug reading; I'd prefer to fix this problem without architectural
changes like that, if it's practical.

The original motivation for introducing psymtabs at all was speed:
GDB's startup time was, believe it or not, CPU-bound.  By constructing
only partial symtabs at startup time, we avoided parsing types
(essentially).  How does this patch affect the time GDB takes to start
up on itself?  (If you had some monster program lying around, that
would be better, but if all we've got is a brute...)

If it makes a big speed difference, then let's try ignoring
DW_LNE_define_file, not scanning the line number program, and just
entering the files given in the file_names table as psymtabs.  GCC
doesn't generate DW_LNE_define_file.  If that is much faster, then I
think it'll be okay.

(It's interesting to note that, since DW_LNE_define_file exists, the
mechanisms Dwarf 3 provides for "accelerated access" are insufficient:
there's no way to build a complete index of source file names without
reading the line tables.)

Hello,

Ada95 defines the notion of "separates", which allows a developper
to write the implementation of either a function or a package in
a separate file. Here is a small example:

foo.ads:

        package Foo is
           procedure Proc;
        end Foo;

foo.adb:

        Package body Foo is
           procedure Proc is separate;
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^
        End Foo;

And then the body for procedure "Proc", as a separate in foo-proc.adb:

        separate (Foo)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        procedure Proc is
        begin
           null;
        end Proc;

This capability can be reproduced in C as well, using #include.
The following example is somewhat ugly with respect to the usual
coding practices, but does reproduce well the capability above:

hello.c:

        void
        say_hello (void)
        {
          printf ("Hello world.\n");
        }

foo.c:

        #include <stdio.h>
        
        #include "hello.c"    <--- Reproduces the "is separate"...
        
        int
        main (void)
        {
          say_hello ();
          return 0;
        }

We have noticed that, if compiled with dwarf-2, GDB is unable to
set a breakpoint inside hello.c using the file:lineno syntax:

        % gcc -gdwarf-2 foo.c -o foo
        % gdb foo
        (gdb) b hello.c:4
        No source file named hello.c.
        (gdb) list hello.c:4
        No source file named hello.c.

However, we can set the breakpoint using the function name:

        (gdb) b say_hello
        Breakpoint 1 at 0x804833e: file hello.c, line 4.

And then once this breakpoint is set, we can now insert the
breakpoint using the source location:

        (gdb) b hello.c:4
        Note: breakpoint 1 also set at pc 0x804833e.
        Breakpoint 2 at 0x804833e: file hello.c, line 4.
        (gdb) list hello.c:4
        1       void
        2       say_hello (void)
        3       {
        4         printf ("Hello world.\n");
        5       }

In Dwarf-2, the list of included files is linked to the line table.
First, we have "Line Number Program Header" which contains the "file
names" table. And then the program itself which uses the DW_LNS_set_file
opcode to change from file to file. There is also the DW_LNE_defile_file
opcode that can be used to define new files instead of using the "file
names" table.

Our problem here is that we don't process this line table when building
the partial symbols. Hence, we miss the list of included files, and
therefore do not create any partial symtab for them. The problem does
not exist with stabs because the N_SOL and line number information
are embedded inside the rest of the stabs data.

If we want to support the case above, I don't see any other way but to
scan the line table as well. I suggest a fast scan, although I don't
see a simple way to skip the opcodes and their data that are ignored
during our scan without having a good knowledge of the opcode we are
skipping. This makes the function that does the quick scan of the line
table almost as fat as the one that is used to build the GDB line
table, almost a copy except that we ignore most of what we read.

Basically, I just copy/pasted the code from dwarf_decode_lines(),
simplified it for partial symtab processing, and then called it
right after the compilation unit psymtab has been built. Currently,
the function scans the line number program, and records which files
of the "file names" table have really been included in the line program
(that's the "file_included" array).

Here is a patch against GDB 6.0 that I used as a proof of concept.
It does not handle the case where the compiler uses DW_LNE_defile_file
instead of the the "file names" table yet, but that will be taken care
of.  Would that be an acceptable approach to suggest for inclusion?
