  To: gdb-patches

Add "void" attribute, which disallows both read & write access.  This
useful for guarding holes in a target's address space that cause the
system to hang when read/written.

OK to commit?

gdb:
	
2002-02-13  Greg McGary  <greg@mcgary.org>

	* memattr.h (enum mem_access_mode): s/MEM_RO/MEM_READ/
	s/MEM_WO/MEM_WRITE/. New member MEM_VOID.
	* memattr.c (mem_command, mem_info_command): Handle MEM_VOID.
	* target.c (target_xfer_memory, target_xfer_memory_partial):
	Check read/write validity with bit test.
	* dcache.c (dcache_write_line, dcache_read_line): Likewise.
	
doc:
	
2002-02-13  Greg McGary  <greg@mcgary.org>

	* gdb.texinfo (Memory Region Attributes): Describe `void' attribute.

I like it.  Would you consider adding a test to the testsuite?

Surely.  Thanks for the invite.  Having never hacked the gdb testsuite
before, I look forward to sleuthing it out.  8^)

I'll post diffs for the test case, then commit the whole wad when
that's approved.

Greg, I'm just wondering why this part change?  Wouldn't just adding a 
MEM_VOID entry have been easier?

No, it's because (attr != MEM_RO) is no longer a sufficient test
to see if a section is writeable.  There are now two modes that are
not writeable -- MEM_RO and MEM_VOID.  He could have made the tests
more complex, he simply chose to do it this way instead.

Ah, ok.  I see why I'm confused.  The command set is an enumeration:

	void ro ro rw

but the internal representation is now:

	r, w

This part of the patch is approved, but please add a sentence to
explain what would be the effect of declaring a region `void' on GDB's
operation, from the user's point of view.  It strikes me that this
text, from the beginning of your message:

> Add "void" attribute, which disallows both read & write access.  This
> useful for guarding holes in a target's address space that cause the
> system to hang when read/written.

is exactly what would make this attribute's effect crystal-clear ;-)
