gdb.dwarf2: Define and use gdb_target_symbol for symbol prefixes
Some of the tests in gdb.dwarf2 which use Dwarf::assemble refer to
(minimal/linker) symbols created in the course of building a small
test program. Some targets use a prefix such as underscore ("_") on
these symbols. Many of the tests in gdb.dwarf2 do not take this into
account. As a consequence, these tests fail to build, resulting
either in failures or untested testcases.
Here is an example from gdb.dwarf2/dw2-regno-invalid.exp:
Dwarf::assemble $asm_file {
cu {} {
compile_unit {
{low_pc main DW_FORM_addr}
{high_pc main+0x10000 DW_FORM_addr}
} {
...
}
For targets which require an underscore prefix on linker symbols,
the two occurrences of "main" would have to have a prepended underscore,
i.e. _main instead of main.
For the above case, a call to the new proc gdb_target_symbol is used
prepend the correct prefix to the symbol. I.e. the above code is
rewritten (as shown in the patch) as follows:
Dwarf::assemble $asm_file {
cu {} {
compile_unit {
{low_pc [gdb_target_symbol main] DW_FORM_addr}
{high_pc [gdb_target_symbol main]+0x10000 DW_FORM_addr}
} {
...
}
I also found it necessary to make an adjustment to lib/dwarf.exp so that
expressions of more than just one list element can be used in DW_TAG_...
constructs. Both atomic-type.exp and dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp require
this new functionality.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_target_symbol_prefix, gdb_target_symbol):
New procs.
* lib/dwarf.exp (_handle_DW_TAG): Handle attribute values,
representing expressions, of more than one list element.
* gdb.dwarf2/atomic-type.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Use gdb_target_symbol
to prepend linker symbol prefix to f.
* gdb.dwarf2/data-loc.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise, for
table_1 and table_2.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp (Dwarf::assemble):
Likewise, for f and g.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ifort-parameter.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise,
for ptr.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-regno-invalid.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise,
for main.
* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp (Dwarf::assemble): Likewise, for
table_1_ptr and table_2_ptr.
