Hi,

Consider the test-case small.c:
...
$ cat -n small.c
     1  __attribute__ ((noinline, noclone))
     2  int foo (char *c)
     3  {
     4    asm volatile ("" : : "r" (c) : "memory");
     5    return 1;
     6  }
     7
     8  int main ()
     9  {
    10    char tpl1[20] = "/tmp/test.XXX";
    11    char tpl2[20] = "/tmp/test.XXX";
    12    int fd1 = foo (tpl1);
    13    int fd2 = foo (tpl2);
    14    if (fd1 == -1) {
    15      return 1;
    16    }
    17
    18    return 0;
    19  }
...

Compiled with gcc-8 and optimization:
...
$ gcc-8 -O2 -g small.c
...

We step through the calls to foo, but fail to visit line 13:
...
12	  int fd1 = foo (tpl1);
(gdb) step
foo (c=c@entry=0x7fffffffdea0 "/tmp/test.XXX") at small.c:5
5	  return 1;
(gdb) step
foo (c=c@entry=0x7fffffffdec0 "/tmp/test.XXX") at small.c:5
5	  return 1;
(gdb) step
main () at small.c:14
14	  if (fd1 == -1) {
(gdb)
...

This is caused by the following.  The calls to foo are implemented by these
insns:
....
  4003df:       0f 29 04 24             movaps %xmm0,(%rsp)
  4003e3:       0f 29 44 24 20          movaps %xmm0,0x20(%rsp)
  4003e8:       e8 03 01 00 00          callq  4004f0 <foo>
  4003ed:       48 8d 7c 24 20          lea    0x20(%rsp),%rdi
  4003f2:       89 c2                   mov    %eax,%edx
  4003f4:       e8 f7 00 00 00          callq  4004f0 <foo>
  4003f9:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
...
with corresponding line table entries:
...
INDEX  LINE   ADDRESS            IS-STMT
8      12     0x00000000004003df Y
9      10     0x00000000004003df
10     11     0x00000000004003e3
11     12     0x00000000004003e8
12     13     0x00000000004003ed
13     12     0x00000000004003f2
14     13     0x00000000004003f4 Y
15     13     0x00000000004003f4
16     14     0x00000000004003f9 Y
17     14     0x00000000004003f9
...

Once we step out of the call to foo at 4003e8, we land at 4003ed, and gdb
enters process_event_stop_test to figure out what to do.

That entry has is-stmt=n, so it's not the start of a line, so we don't stop
there.  However, we do update ecs->event_thread->current_line to line 13,
because the frame has changed (because we stepped out of the function).

Next we land at 4003f2.  Again the entry has is-stmt=n, so it's not the start
of a line, so we don't stop there.  However, because the frame hasn't changed,
we don't update update ecs->event_thread->current_line, so it stays 13.

Next we land at 4003f4.  Now is-stmt=y, so it's the start of a line, and we'd
like to stop here.

But we don't stop because this test fails:
...
  if ((ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_pc == stop_pc_sal.pc)
      && (ecs->event_thread->current_line != stop_pc_sal.line
          || ecs->event_thread->current_symtab != stop_pc_sal.symtab))
    {
...
because ecs->event_thread->current_line == 13 and stop_pc_sal.line == 13.

Fix this by resetting ecs->event_thread->current_line to 0 if is-stmt=n and
the frame has changed, such that we have:
...
12        int fd1 = foo (tpl1);
(gdb) step
foo (c=c@entry=0x7fffffffdbc0 "/tmp/test.XXX") at small.c:5
5         return 1;
(gdb) step
main () at small.c:13
13        int fd2 = foo (tpl2);
(gdb)
...

Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc-7 and gcc-8.

Any comments?

Thanks,
- Tom

I agree that this should be fixed.

It is interesting that the small.c example does not miss to
step at line 13 if I manually add a nop after the call foo.
In this case we are still at line 12, where the call is coming
from.

I think when we step away from the call instruction we should
use the line info from the call statement which is 12 in this
example, not the non-stmt line immediately after the call
stmt which is 13.

find_pc_line can be used to find the line immediately before
the current pc when the second parameter is non-zero.

So how about this:

Hi Bernd,

thanks for the review.

I can reproduce that like so:
...
         call    foo
+        nop
 .LVL1:
         .loc 1 13 13 view .LVU15
         leaq    32(%rsp), %rdi
         .loc 1 12 13 view .LVU16
         movl    %eax, %edx
 .LVL2:
         .loc 1 13 3 is_stmt 1 view .LVU17
         .loc 1 13 13 is_stmt 0 view .LVU18
         call    foo
...
resulting in:
...
  4003d7:       0f 29 04 24             movaps %xmm0,(%rsp)
  4003db:       0f 29 44 24 20          movaps %xmm0,0x20(%rsp)
  4003e0:       c7 44 24 30 00 00 00    movl   $0x0,0x30(%rsp)
  4003e7:       00
  4003e8:       e8 03 01 00 00          callq  4004f0 <foo>
  4003ed:       90                      nop
  4003ee:       48 8d 7c 24 20          lea    0x20(%rsp),%rdi
  4003f3:       89 c2                   mov    %eax,%edx
  4003f5:       e8 f6 00 00 00          callq  4004f0 <foo>
  4003fa:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
...

So, once we step out of the call to foo at 4003e8, we land at the nop at
4003ed, and gdb enters process_event_stop_test to figure out what to do.

Since there's no line number entry at that address, we get:
...
(gdb) p stop_pc_sal.line
$7 = 12
...
instead of line 13, which causes the stepping to stop at the subsequent
is-stmt=y entry at line 13.

I think we should use either the line number indicated by the line
table, or 0.  I don't see a need to make things more complicated than that.

The preferred solution would be to use the one from the line table, but
I think that will require more changes to the stepping mechanism, so
setting the line to 0 is a nice, localized solution.

I've added a debug print to note the case:
...
+         infrun_debug_printf ("stepped to a different frame, but "
+                              "it's not the start of a statement");
+
...
and I'll commit shortly.

Thanks,
- Tom
