Subject: [PATCH] [gdb/exp] Limit workaround in using_direct::valid_line to broken GCC versions
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 18:21:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604162135.2846175-1-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
Consider test.c:
...
1 namespace mod_a {
2 int xxx = 10;
3 }
4
5 static void
6 foo ()
7 {
8 }
9
10 int
11 main ()
12 {
13 {
14 foo ();
15 using namespace mod_a;
16 }
17
18 return mod_a::xxx;
19 }
...
compiled with "g++ test.c -g".
Attempting to print xxx at line 14 shouldn't find anything (because it's
before the "using namespace mod_a"), but it does:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex "p xxx"
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:14
14 foo ();
$1 = 10
...
This happens because using_direct::valid_line returns true here:
...
return (decl_line <= curr_sal.line)
|| (decl_line >= boundary);
...
Since we have decl_line == 15 and curr_sal.line == 14,
"(decl_line <= curr_sal.line)" evaluates to false.
But boundary == 14, so "(decl_line >= boundary)" evaluates to true.
The "(decl_line >= boundary)" bit was added as a workaround for
GCC PR debug/108716.
Since I'm using GCC 15, the workaround is not needed.
Fix this by limiting the workaround to broken GCC versions.
Tested on x86_64-linux, using GCC 15.2, and 7.5.
