Subject: [PATCH 1/9] gdb: add symbol_search_kind enum for global_symbol_searcher
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 15:39:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929194119.155169-2-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929194119.155169-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>
While reading the global_symbol_searcher code, something that was not
clear to me was that despite accepting a domain_search_flags, searches
are mutually exclusive between types, variables and functions.
One snippet of code that really confused me was (now removed by a
previous commit):
if ((kind & SEARCH_FUNCTION_DOMAIN) != 0
? (find_compunit_symtab_for_pc
(msymbol->value_address (objfile)) == NULL)
: (lookup_symbol_in_objfile_from_linkage_name
(objfile, msymbol->linkage_name (),
SEARCH_VFT)
.symbol == NULL))
I kept thinking: what if you search for both functions and variables,
this will take the "function" path, this can't work. The answer is that
it's not supposed to happen.
This patch adds the symbol_search_kind enum and uses it in
global_symbol_searcher (and a few caller functions), making it clear
that you search just one kind at a time.
The new enum has a certain overlap with enum domain_search_flag, but I
think that having the more scoped enum makes global_symbol_searcher
easier to understand, by specifying clearly what it needs to handle.
