From: Gary Benson Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 08:47:30 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Use gdb_sysroot for main executable on attach X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9a5a3d1d27fc443934ed4919f69b34144288cf0;p=binutils-gdb.git Use gdb_sysroot for main executable on attach This commit updates exec_file_locate_attach to use exec_file_find to compute the full pathname of the main executable in some cases. The net effect of this is that the main executable's path will be prefixed with gdb_sysroot in the same way that shared library paths currently are. gdb/ChangeLog: * exec.c (solist.h): New include. (exec_file_locate_attach): Prefix absolute executable paths with gdb_sysroot if set. * NEWS: Mention that executable paths may be prepended with sysroot. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (set sysroot): Document that "set sysroot" also applies to executable paths if supplied to GDB as absolute. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index bfd70a622f7..af853853dcb 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +2015-04-17 Gary Benson + + * exec.c (solist.h): New include. + (exec_file_locate_attach): Prefix absolute executable + paths with gdb_sysroot if set. + * NEWS: Mention that executable paths may be prepended + with sysroot. + 2015-04-17 Gary Benson * solist.h (exec_file_find): New declaration. diff --git a/gdb/NEWS b/gdb/NEWS index c24195ecc51..e8d92fbcc1b 100644 --- a/gdb/NEWS +++ b/gdb/NEWS @@ -31,6 +31,11 @@ "target:".
