Subject: Failures in store.exp caused by regcache
Date: Wed, 08 Jan 2003 19:05:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030108190506.GA558@nevyn.them.org> (raw)
(Or rather, by the value code's interaction with the regcache)
Andrew, this is more your area; I'd like your advice before I dig any
further. Here's what's going wrong. Consider the command sequence:
"up; print u; set u = s_1; print u".
- u has class LOC_REGISTER
- The register's home is memory
- read_var_value therefore returns an lval_memory
- the value of the register is in the register unwind cache at this point
- we modify the memory backing the store
- we have no way to tell that we've just modified the value of a saved
register on the stack
- the second print returns the cached value
So, what do we do? I really don't want to flush cached register values in
value_assign.
