* [PATCH v4 1/1] gdb/linespec: relax block filter to preserve distinct code paths
2026-09-23 8:40 [PATCH v4 0/1] Fix block filter heuristic in linespec to preserve distinct code paths Klaus Gerlicher

From: "Gerlicher, Klaus" <klaus.gerlicher@intel.com>
The block-based duplicate filter in create_sals_line_offset keeps only
the first is_stmt line table entry per block. This heuristic reduces
multiple for-loop header entries (init/test/increment on same line) to
single breakpoint locations. However, it is too aggressive for
vectorized loops, where the compiler emits separate code regions for
the vectorized body and scalar remainder, both on the same source line.
The filter discards the scalar remainder entry, causing breakpoints to
be silently missed when only the scalar path executes.
The old heuristic collapses all same-block SALs for a given line down to
a single breakpoint location, while the new heuristic preserves additional
SALs when the instruction range between them ends with an unconditional jump
or return, indicating they lie on genuinely distinct, non-fall-through code
paths.
The fix introduces range_has_unconditional_flow_control, which analyzes
the instruction stream for two conditions indicating distinct code paths:
1. Unconditional exit: The last instruction before the second PC is an
unconditional jmp or ret (execution cannot fall through).
2. Backward branch: Any instruction in the range is a relative branch
targeting before the first PC (loop back-edge indicating separate
loop bodies).
A new gdbarch method gdbarch_insn_branch_target decodes relative branch
targets. Implemented for amd64 and aarch64; other architectures default
to conservative behavior, preserving backward compatibility.
Existing gdbarch_insn_is_jump and gdbarch_insn_is_ret are now also
implemented for aarch64, enabling the heuristic on that platform too.
Predicate functions are added to allow for chosing viability of this extended
heuristic. Implemented on x86_64 and aarch64.
Testing covers:
- for_loop_empty_body (-O0): 1 location
- for_loop_large_body (-O0): 1 location
- for_loop_vectorized (-O2): >= 2 locations with runtime verification
- nested_vectorized_loops (-O2): >= 2 locations
- loop_with_early_break (-O2): >= 2 or 1 location
- ifelse_separate_lines (-O0): 2 locations on x86_64/aarch64, unsupported
elsewhere
- set/show linespec-extended-block-filter reports on/off and
architecture support correctly
- add unit test for amd64_branch_target_from_details
Tested with GCC 11 and ICX 2025.2 on x86_64, and on aarch64 (raspi5).

This fixes an issue where GDB could fail to find a type when relying
on the index. Any existing indexes should be regenerated.
+* Breakpoint location resolution has been improved for vectorized loops.
+ Previously, when setting a breakpoint on a source line with vectorized
+ code (at -O2 with -ftree-vectorize), GDB's block filter heuristic would
+ discard the scalar remainder location, causing breakpoints to be missed
+ when only the scalar path executed. GDB now correctly preserves multiple
+ locations for vectorized and scalar loop paths, improving debuggability
+ of optimized code. This is supported currently on x86 and aarch64.
+
+ Use "set linespec-extended-block-filter off" to disable the new
+ heuristic on supported platforms and revert to the original behavior if needed.
+
* Support for Floating Point Mode Register (FPMR) in AArch64.
* When running on the Windows Terminal console, GDB now supports
