Currently, when using GDB to do reverse debugging, if we try to use the command "reverse next" to skip a recursive function, instead of skipping all of the recursive calls and stopping in the previous line, we stop at the second to last recursive call, and need to manually step backwards until we leave the first call. This is well documented in PR gdb/16678. This bug happens because when GDB notices that a reverse step has entered into a function, GDB will add a step_resume_breakpoint at the start of the function, then single step out of the prologue once that breakpoint is hit. The problem was happening because GDB wouldn't give that step_resume_breakpoint a frame-id, so the first time the breakpoint was hit, the inferior would be stopped. This is fixed by giving the current frame-id to the breakpoint. This commit also changes gdb.reverse/step-reverse.c to contain a recursive function and attempt to both, skip it altogether, and to skip the second call from inside the first call, as this setup broke a previous version of the patch.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
