So far the gnu_vector test was limited to "static" aspects of GDB's vector support, like evaluating vector-valued expressions. This patch enriches the test and adds checks for GDB's vector ABI support as well. The new checks particularly verify inferior function calls with vector arguments and GDB's handling of vector return values. The test now attempts to compile for the target's "native" architecture, such that a hardware vector ABI is used if available. Since GDB has no vector ABI support for x86 and x86_64 targets, most of the new checks are KFAILed there. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/gnu_vector.c: Include stdarg.h and stdio.h. (VECTOR): New macro. Use it... (int4, uint4, char4, float4, int2, longlong2, float2, double2): ...for these typedefs. (int8, char1, int1, double1): New typedefs. (struct just_int2, struct two_int2): New structures. (add_some_intvecs, add_many_charvecs, add_various_floatvecs) (add_structvecs, add_singlevecs): New functions. (main): Call add_some_intvecs twice. * gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: Drop GCC version check; just attempt the compile and exit upon failure. Try compiling for the "native" architecture. Test inferior function calls with vector arguments and vector return value handling with "finish" and "return".
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.
