Subject: [PATCH] [gdb/exp] Fix ns var lookup when stopped at inlined fn call
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 13:19:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604111943.84104-1-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
Consider test.c:
...
1 namespace mod_a {
2 int xxx = 10;
3 }
4
5 static inline int __attribute__((always_inline))
6 inlined () {
7 return 0;
8 }
9
10 int main () {
11 using namespace mod_a;
12 int res = inlined ();
13 return res + xxx;
14 }
...
compiled with "g++ test.c -g".
Trying to print variable xxx at line 12 fails:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex "p xxx"
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:12
12 int res = inlined ();
No symbol "xxx" in current context.
...
The problem is here in function using_direct::valid_line:
...
CORE_ADDR curr_pc = get_frame_pc (get_selected_frame (nullptr));
symtab_and_line curr_sal = find_sal_for_pc (curr_pc, 0);
return (decl_line <= curr_sal.line)
|| (decl_line >= boundary);
...
where we're trying to decide whether "using namespace mod_a" is applicable.
The decl_line is 11, as expected.
If curr_sal.line were 12, decl_line <= curr_sal.line would be true, and
using_direct::valid_line would return true.
But instead, curr_sal.line is 7.
This is sort of correct, the current PC maps to that line. It's just that gdb
steps into inlined functions in two steps, each with identical PC:
- once stopping at the call site (line 12 in this case)
- once stopping at the PC line (line 7 in this case)
The function using_direct::valid_line doesn't apply this logic, and
consequently line 7 is used for both cases.
Fix this by using find_frame_sal instead.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
