Running the testsuite with "maint set target-non-stop on" shows: (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/valgrind-infcall.exp: continue #98 (false warning) continue Continuing. dl_main (phdr=<optimized out>..., auxv=<optimized out>) at rtld.c:2302 2302 LIBC_PROBE (init_complete, 2, LM_ID_BASE, r); Cannot access memory at address 0x400532 (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/valgrind-infcall.exp: continue #99 (false warning) p gdb_test_infcall () $1 = 1 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/valgrind-infcall.exp: p gdb_test_infcall () Even though that was a native GNU/Linux test run, this test spawns Valgrind and connects to it with "target remote". The error above is actually orthogonal to target-non-stop. The real issue is that that enables displaced stepping, and displaced stepping doesn't work with Valgrind, because we can't write to the inferior memory (thus can't copy the instruction to the scratch pad area). I'm sure there will be other targets with the same issue, so trying to identify Valgrind wouldn't be sufficient. The fix is to try setting up the displaced step anyway. If we get a MEMORY_ERROR, we disable displaced stepping for that inferior, and fall back to doing an in-line step-over. If "set displaced-stepping" is "on" (as opposed to "auto), GDB warns displaced stepping failed ("on" is mainly useful for the testsuite, not for users). Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * inferior.h (struct inferior) <displaced_stepping_failed>: New field. * infrun.c (use_displaced_stepping_now_p): New parameter 'inf'. Return false if dispaced stepping failed before. (resume): Pass the current inferior to use_displaced_stepping_now_p. Wrap displaced_step_prepare in TRY/CATCH. If we get a MEMORY_ERROR, set the inferior's displaced_stepping_failed flag, and fall back to an in-line step-over. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/valgrind-disp-step.c: New file. * gdb.base/valgrind-disp-step.exp: New file.

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.
