Re: PA64 shared library problems with gdb-5.2 (hpux)

[ross.alexander@uk.neceur.com]

I have a rinky-dinky test program which works fine.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  void *v;
  int i, count;
  void **handle;

  if (argc < 2)
  {
    printf("%s: <filename>\n", argv[0]);
  }
  handle = calloc(sizeof(void*), argc);

  for (i = 1; i < argc; i++)
    {
      if ((handle[count] = dlopen(argv[i], RTLD_GLOBAL|RTLD_NOW)) == NULL)
        printf("dlopen: %s\n", dlerror());
      else
      count++;
    }

  struct load_module_desc mod;
  for (i = -1; ; i++)
    {
      if (dlget(i, &mod, sizeof(mod)))
      {
        char *name = dlgetname(&mod, sizeof(mod), NULL, 0, 0);
        printf("Have index %d %s\n", i, name ? name : "<No name>");
      }
      else
      break;
    }
  printf("\n");

  for (i = 1; ; i++)
    {
      if (dlgetmodinfo(i, &mod, sizeof(mod), NULL, 0, 0))
      {
        char *name = dlgetname(&mod, sizeof(mod), NULL, 0, 0);
        printf("Have index %d %s\n", i, name ? name : "<No name>");
      }
      else
      break;
    }

  for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
    dlclose(handle[i]);

  return 0;
}

So it is something to do with the interaction with gdb's copy function.
The problem is I simply don't know enough about gdb internals
to start.  I might try to cross build a 64bit version of gdb as a
32bit SOM exe, so I could then run that under a 32bit gdb,
but I'm not sure if that will actually work.

Many thanks

Ross

This happens when dlgetname returns an error.

Unfortunately, dlgetname is a routine provided by HP, so it may be very
difficult to figure out why it's returning an error.

It might be interesting to know which index it's choking on so that we
can try to guess which library dlgetname is unhappy about.
