A co-worker pointed out that gdb's DAP implementation might return an
integer for the name of a stack frame, like:
{"id": 1, "name": 93824992310799, ...}
This can be seen currently in the logs of the bt-nodebug.exp test
case.
What is happening is that FrameDecorator falls back on returning the
PC when the frame's function symbol cannot be found, relying on the
gdb core to look up the minsym and print its name.
This can actually yield the wrong answer sometimes, because it falls
into the get_frame_pc / get_frame_address_in_block problem -- if the
frame is at a call to a noreturn function, the PC in this case might
appear to be in the next function in memory. For more on this, see:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8416
and related bugs.
However, there's a different approach we can take: the code here can
simply use Frame.name. This handles the PC problem correctly, and
gets us the information we need.
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.
