Subject: Anyone using alpha-freebsd target in gdb-current?
Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2002 19:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020109193418.L17203@dr-evil.shagadelic.org> (raw)

Is anyone actually using the alpha-freebsd target in gdb-current?
   
I'm working on alpha-netbsd support, and it uses the pre-existing
alphabsd-nat.c.

...but I'm having some serious problems.  They seem to be related
to breakpoints -- If I skip the implicit breakpoint at __start
(_start on a FreeBSD/alpha system) a test program behaves "more
correctly" (there are still some problems), but completely loses
if I leave that breakpoint there.

Also, NetBSD/alpha requires software single-stepping in gdb (which
I have implemented), which uses breakpoints ... the software single
stepping also gives unexpected results (the PC value when the breakpoint
trips is not what I expect).

But, anyway, I'd really like to just know if anyone is successfully using
the alpha bsd native support successfully right now.  That would help
eliminate some variables for me.

Thanks.
