Re: [PATCH] Make "skip" work on inline frames

[Bernd Edlinger <bernd.edlinger@hotmail.de>]

Hmm,

I noticed that the patch does not yet handle
the step <count> correctly, the count is decremented
although the inline frame is skipped and should not be
counted...

Thus I will need to change at least this:

--- a/gdb/infcmd.c
+++ b/gdb/infcmd.c
@@ -1122,7 +1122,6 @@ prepare_one_step (struct step_command_fsm *sm)
              set_running (resume_ptid, 1);
 
              step_into_inline_frame (tp);
-             sm->count--;
 
              sal = find_frame_sal (frame);
              sym = get_frame_function (frame);
@@ -1132,13 +1131,17 @@ prepare_one_step (struct step_command_fsm *sm)

-               return prepare_one_step (sm);
+               {
+                 sm->count--;
+                 return prepare_one_step (sm);
+               }
            }
 

So I'll send a new patch in a moment.


Thanks.
