From: Kevin Buettner Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2019 00:35:21 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Restrict use of minsym names when printing addresses in disassembled code X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2dc80cf8a5799120fd4e00199688f721e7de2a62;p=binutils-gdb.git Restrict use of minsym names when printing addresses in disassembled code build_address_symbolic contains some code which causes it to prefer the minsym over the the function symbol in certain cases. The cases where this occurs are the same as the "certain pathological cases" that used to exist in find_frame_funname(). This commit largely disables that code; it will only prefer the minsym when the address of minsym is identical to that of the address under consideration AND the function address for the symbtab sym is not the same as the address under consideration. So, without this change, when using the dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold executable from the gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func.exp test, GDB exhibits the following behavior: (gdb) x/5i foo_cold 0x40110d : push %rbp 0x40110e : mov %rsp,%rbp 0x401111 : callq 0x401106 0x401116 : nop 0x401117 : pop %rbp On the other hand, still without this change, using the dw2-ranges-func-hi-cold executable from the same test, GDB does this instead: (gdb) x/5i foo_cold 0x401128 : push %rbp 0x401129 : mov %rsp,%rbp 0x40112c : callq 0x401134 0x401131 : nop 0x401132 : pop %rbp This is inconsistent behavior. When foo_cold is at a lower address than the function's entry point, the symtab symbol (foo) is displayed along with a large positive offset which would wrap around the address space if the address space were only 32 bits wide. (A later patch fixes this problem by displaying negative offsets.) This commit makes the behavior uniform for both the "lo-cold" and "hi-cold" cases: lo-cold: (gdb) x/5i foo_cold 0x40110d : push %rbp 0x40110e : mov %rsp,%rbp 0x401111 : callq 0x401106 0x401116 : nop 0x401117 : pop %rbp hi-cold: (gdb) x/5i foo_cold 0x401128 : push %rbp 0x401129 : mov %rsp,%rbp 0x40112c : callq 0x401134 0x401131 : nop 0x401132 : pop %rbp In both cases, the symbol shown for the address at which foo_cold resides is shown as . Subsequent offsets are shown as either negative or positive offsets from the entry pc for foo. When disassembling a function, care must be taken to NOT display <+0> as the offset for the second range. For this reason, I found it necessary to add the "prefer_sym_over_minsym" parameter to build_address_symbolic. The type of this flag is a bool; do_demangle ought to be a bool also, so I made this change at the same time. gdb/ChangeLog: * valprint.h (build_address_symbolic): Add "prefer_sym_over_minsym" parameter. Change type of "do_demangle" to bool. * disasm.c (gdb_pretty_print_disassembler::pretty_print_insn): Pass suitable "prefer_sym_over_minsym" flag to build_address_symbolic(). Don't output "+" for negative offsets. * printcmd.c (print_address_symbolic): Update invocation of build_address_symbolic to include a "prefer_sym_over_minsym" flag. (build_address_symbolic): Add "prefer_sym_over_minsym" parameter. Restrict cases in which use of minimal symbol is preferred to that of a found symbol.
