While reviewing this patch: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-November/183227.html I spotted that the patch could be improved if we threw OPTIMIZED_OUT_ERROR rather than GENERIC_ERROR in a few places. This commit updates error_value_optimized_out and require_not_optimized_out to throw OPTIMIZED_OUT_ERROR. I ran the testsuite and saw no regressions. This doesn't really surprise me, we don't usually write code like: catch (const gdb_exception_error &ex) { (if ex.error == GENERIC_ERROR) ... else ... } There are a three places where we write something like: catch (const gdb_exception_error &ex) { (if ex.error == OPTIMIZED_OUT_ERROR) ... } In frame.c:unwind_pc, stack.c:info_frame_command_core, and value.c:value_optimized_out, but if we are hitting these cases then it's not significantly changing GDB's behaviour.
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.
