X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8344af1e7bffd13add24bd02bc462d9389294fd2;p=binutils-gdb.git [Ada] error trying to call function when parameter is aligner type. We observed on x86-windows that trying to call a function from GDB leads to a mysterious "Invalid cast" error. This can be observed in gdb.ada/float_param.exp: (gdb) call set_long_double(1, global_small_struct, 4.0) Invalid cast. This happens because the 3rd parameter, a Long_Long_Float, is actually passed wrapped inside a PAD structure. As documented in GNAT's exp_dbug.ads, PAD types are simple wrappers that GNAT uses to handle types with size or alignment constraints. We already support those when printing an object encapsulated in a PAD type, but not when trying to pass an argument that is wrapped inside a PAD type. As a result, what happens is that call_function_by_hand ends up with an argument with a type that looks incompatible with the expected type of the argument. The error comes when trying to push the arguments in inferior memory, while trying to coerce each one of them to their expected types (in value_arg_coerce). Note that the problem is not specific to Windows, but so far, this is the only platform where we've seen this happen. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_convert_actual): Add handling of formals passed inside an aligner type. Tested on x86-windows (AdaCore testsuite) and x86_64-linux (official testsuite as well as AdaCore's testsuite). --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 83661dc6251..4422ada9406 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2015-05-08 Joel Brobecker + + * ada-lang.c (ada_convert_actual): Add handling of formals + passed inside an aligner type. + 2015-05-08 Joel Brobecker * copyright.py (NOT_FSF_LIST): Remove sim/erc32 entries. diff --git a/gdb/ada-lang.c b/gdb/ada-lang.c index 7fe85c09217..3a00e5ba1b4 100644 --- a/gdb/ada-lang.c +++ b/gdb/ada-lang.c @@ -4310,6 +4310,16 @@ ada_convert_actual (struct value *actual, struct type *formal_type0) } else if (TYPE_CODE (actual_type) == TYPE_CODE_PTR) return ada_value_ind (actual); + else if (ada_is_aligner_type (formal_type)) + { + /* We need to turn this parameter into an aligner type + as well. */ + struct value *aligner = allocate_value (formal_type); + struct value *component = ada_value_struct_elt (aligner, "F", 0); + + value_assign_to_component (aligner, component, actual); + return aligner; + } return actual; }
