[rfa] Dwarf2 testsuite

[rfa] Dwarf2 testsuite

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

This patch adds a sample test for DWARF-2 unit testing.  It requires:
  - gas, for the .uleb128/.sleb128 directives among other things
  - ELF; it could probably be made to work on non-ELF dwarf2 systems
    but I don't know what changes would be necessary.  Perhaps those
    should be tested separately.

I haven't tried, but I wrote it with the intent that it would not care about
the host beyond that; it should run on 64-bit ELF targets OK.

It just includes a trivial test containing hand-written DIEs for a single
CU.  This one file I annotated exhaustively, and let me tell you, it was
exhausting; for future tests I will allow them to be self-documenting (the
comments don't say anything that compiling the file and running readelf
won't tell you).

The test itself just demonstrates that the dwarf2 reader isn't completely
busted.  But more interesting tests could be easily added.

Look OK?  Suggestions?

Re: [rfa] Dwarf2 testsuite

[Michael Chastain]

Okay, I threw this in my in-queue and I'll reply on Sunday (estimated).
Some random comments:

. It's okay to have tests that execute on some systems and not others,
  as long as gnu/hurd and gnu/linux are included.  This is actually
  covered in section 6, "platforms to support", in
    http://www.fsf.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html

. Makefile.in needs a copyright notice.  Actually all those little
  subdirectories shouldn't even need configure/makefile stuff,
  but I don't wanna get into that right now.

. The self-documenting bit is cool, just leave a comment
  "compile the file and run readelf -w to see what is going on".
  In fact you might want to strip the comments from this file,
  because when I go to debug something with a file like this,
  I don't trust the comments in the file anyways.

. We definitely need some infrastructure to return what the
  debug format is, but you can just ignore that and do whatever
  for now, as long as it doesn't totally blow up when I explicitly
  test with "runtest /gdb:debug_flags=-gstabs+ -g2".

More on Sunday.

Hmm, Hurd is ELF also, so that should be fine.

OK.

I'd prefer to leave the comments now that I've written them, for two
reasons:
 (A) !#(*& it, I spent a lot of effort on those comments!
 (B) they make it easier to make a copy with only an incremental change

It won't blow up.  In fact, if GDB is working correctly, it will pass -
if it doesn't, that's a bug.  Mixed stabs and dwarf2 ought to work.

Looks exhausting.  I'm glad you're doing this.

Dan, what would you think about (somebody) writing a tool
that could read some sort of description (eg. what's in
your comments), and generate the dwarf2 recs?  Sort of a
simple compiler that accepts, in effect, the dwarf2 spec
as input?  Would that be, perhaps, less of an effort than
writing a sufficiently large subset of tests by hand?

<chanting> Do it!  Do it!  Do it! </chanting>

Does that answer your question?  Yes, it would absolutely be less
effort.  It would be a little tricky.  Done properly could
encapsulate most of the time-consuming bits - in particular, it could
handle testing both 32-bit and 64-bit mode, and it could automate (for
the common cases at least) the nasty bits of .debug_abbrev and
.debug_line.

I'm not sure what it would output.  Maybe a text file full of .byte
directives, so that we could #include it from an asm file with the
labels referenced in it.

Okay, it works fine in my test bed with:

  gdb 6.2.1 and gdb HEAD
  gcc 2, gcc 3, gcc 4pre
  dwarf-2 and stabs+ (not that it makes any difference)
  -feliminate-dwarf2-dups or not (ditto)

Okay with me.

Two nits:

  The copyright notice to Makefile.in.  Grab from gdb.fortran/Makefile.in
  if you like.  (And yeah, the copyright notice in main.c makes me laugh
  at my own stubbornness).

  Is file2.txt used at all?  I could not find a reference to it.

With those things fixed ... approved.

Committed with those changes.  Thanks!  Next, I'll try to write a test
for inter-cu...

Oops, I missed this.  OK to commit?  Not tested...
