The documentation for make-breakpoint from the Guile API and the `spec' variant of the gdb.Breakpoint constructor from the Python API state that the format acceptable for location strings is the same as that accepted by the break command. However, using the -probe qualifier at the beginning of the location string causes a GDB internal error as it attempts to decode a probe location in the wrong code path. Without this functionality, there doesn't appear to be another way to set breakpoints on probe points from Python or Guile scripts. This patch introduces a new helper function that returns a breakpoint_ops instance appropriate for a parsed location and updates the Guile and Python bindings to use said function, rather than the current hard-coded use of bkpt_breakpoint_ops. Since this logic is duplicated in the handling of the `break' and `trace' commands, those are also updated to call into the new helper function. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-12-10 George Barrett <bob@bob131.so> Fix scripted probe breakpoints. * breakpoint.c (tracepoint_probe_breakpoint_ops): Move declaration forward. (breakpoint_ops_for_event_location_type) (breakpoint_ops_for_event_location): Add function definitions. (break_command_1, trace_command): Use breakpoint_ops_for_event_location. * breakpoint.h (breakpoint_ops_for_event_location): Add function declarations. * guile/scm-breakpoint.c (gdbscm_register_breakpoint_x): Use breakpoint_ops_for_event_location. * python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Use breakpoint_ops_for_event_location. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-12-10 George Barrett <bob@bob131.so> Test scripted probe breakpoints. * gdb.guile/scm-breakpoint.c (main): Add probe point. * gdb.python/py-breakpoint.c (main): Likewise. * gdb.guile/scm-breakpoint.exp (test_bkpt_probe): Add probe specifier test. * gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp (test_bkpt_probe): Likewise.
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.
