Subject: [PATCH][gdb/breakpoints] Workaround missing line-table entry
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 10:15:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210122091509.GA30312@delia> (raw)
Hi,
When running test-case gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp, we run into this KFAIL with
gcc:
...
Breakpoint 7, main () at gdb.opt/inline-cmds.c:71^M
71 result = 0; /* set breakpoint 3 here */^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp: continue to breakpoint: consecutive func1
next^M
73 func1 (); /* first call */^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp: next to first func1
next^M
75 marker ();^M
(gdb) KFAIL: gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp: next to second func1 (PRMS: gdb/25884)
...
while with clang we have instead:
...
next^M
74 func1 (); /* second call */^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp: next to second func1
...
The relevant bit of the test source is here in inline-cmds.c:
...
71 result = 0; /* set breakpoint 3 here */
72
73 func1 (); /* first call */
74 func1 (); /* second call */
75 marker ();
...
with func1 defined as:
...
33 inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int func1(void)
34 {
35 bar ();
36 return x * y;
37 }
...
The corresponding insns are:
...
40050b: movl $0x0,0x200b1f(%rip) # 601034 <result>
400515: callq 40057b <bar>
40051a: callq 40057b <bar>
40051f: callq 400596 <marker>
...
and the line number info is:
...
Line number Starting address View Stmt
71 0x40050b x
35 0x400515 x
75 0x40051f x
...
The line number info is missing an entry for the insn at 40051a, and that is
causing the FAIL. This is a gcc issue, filed as PR gcc/98780 -" Missing line
table entry for inlined stmt at -g -O0".
[ For contrast, with clang we have an extra entry:
...
Line number Starting address View Stmt
71 0x40050b x
35 0x400515 x
35 0x40051a
75 0x40051f x
...
though it appears to be missing the start-of-statement marker. ]
However, there is debug info that indicates that the insn at 40051a is not
part of the line table entry for the insn at 400515:
...
<2><1c4>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<1c5> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x2a2>
<1c9> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x400515
<1d1> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x5
<1d9> DW_AT_call_file : 1
<1da> DW_AT_call_line : 73
<2><1db>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<1dc> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x2a2>
<1e0> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x40051a
<1e8> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x5
<1f0> DW_AT_call_file : 1
<1f1> DW_AT_call_line : 74
...
and indeed lldb manages to "next" from line 73 to line 74.
Work around the missing line table entry, by using the inline frame info to
narrow the stepping range in prepare_one_step.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Any comments?
Thanks,
- Tom
