Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gdb, dwarf: update complaint logic in read_tag_pointer_type
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 17:07:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728170746.1037942-2-tankutbaris.aktemur@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728170746.1037942-1-tankutbaris.aktemur@amd.com>

There is nested branching in `read_tag_pointer_type` with non-trivial
conditions.  I think what is meant there is if there is a non-default
address class attribute for the type, alignment and size changes are
acceptable.  Otherwise we should check for unexpected size and
alignment, and complain about them.  This patch updates the logic.

In particular:

 - If addr_class is default, byte_size does not match the expectation,
   and the architecture defines the address_class_dwarf_to_id hook
   method, code before the patch does not complain about pointer size
   whereas the new code complains.

 - If addr_class is non-default, byte_size does not match the
   expectation, and the architecture does not define the
   address_class_dwarf_to_id hook method, code before the patch
   complains about pointer size whereas the code after does not
   complain.

(Similar cases for alignment mismatch instead of type size, too.)

I think the new behavior is what was intended and it yields simpler
code.
