Subject: [PATCH v11 06/10] gdb: Skip trampoline functions for the up command.
Date: Mon,  3 Aug 2026 21:34:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803193449.33375-7-abdul.b.ijaz@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803193449.33375-1-abdul.b.ijaz@intel.com>

This change skips trampoline functions when the option
'skip-trampoline-functions' is set to 'on' for the up command.  Before this
change, GDB processes trampoline functions indicated by the compiler with
DIE "DW_AT_trampoline" and stops at the trampoline function for the 'up'
command.  For better user experience, all such frames can be
skipped and hidden from the user.

In this example the IFX compiler emits "DW_AT_trampoline" tag for the 'first'
and 'second' trampoline functions like following:

function second (x, y) result(z)
  integer, intent(in) :: x, y
  integer :: z
  z = x * y ! breakpt-up
end function second

function first (num1, num2) result(total)
  integer, intent(in) :: num1, num2
  integer  :: total
  total = second (num1 + 4, num2 * 3) ! first-breakpt
  total = total + 30
end function first

                DW_AT_trampoline        ("first_")

Before this change, the 'up' command output looks like:

'''
(gdb) up
\#1  0x0000000000405209 in second_.t74p.t75p () at test.f90:12
12      end function first
'''

After this change:

'''
(gdb) up
\#2  0x00000000004051e3 in first (num1=16, num2=3) at test.f90:10
10        total = second (num1 + 4, num2 * 3) ! first-breakpt
'''

The test gdb.fortran/func-trampoline.exp is updated for testing this change.
