From: Patrick Palka Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2015 12:02:09 +0000 (-0400) Subject: TUI: Make sure to update registers if frame information has changed X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bbcbf914a6ad801bfa7d4e56150217a1d53e07af;p=binutils-gdb.git TUI: Make sure to update registers if frame information has changed When I replaced TUI's frame_changed hook to fix PR tui/13378 I assumed that there's no reason to refresh register information following a call to "up", "down" or "frame". This assumption was made to fix the problem of refreshing frame information twice following a sync-execution normal stop (once in tui_normal_stop and then in tui_before_prompt) -- the second refresh removing any highlights made by the first. I was wrong about that -- GDB's snapshot of register information is per-frame, and when the frame changes, registers do too (most prominently the %rip and %rsp registers). So e.g. GDB 7.8 would highlight such register changes after invoking "up", "down" or "frame", and current GDB does not. To fix this regression, this patch adds another (sufficient) condition for refreshing register information: in tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information, always refresh register information if frame information has changed. This makes register information get refreshed following a call to "up", "down" or "frame" while still avoiding the "double refresh" issue following a normal stop. This condition may seem to obsolete the existing registers_too_p parameter, but it does not: following a normal stop, it is possible that registers may have changed while frame information had not. We could be on the exact same PC with different register values. The new condition would not catch such a case, but the registers_too_p condition will. So both conditions seem necessary (and either one is sufficient). gdb/ChangeLog: * tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information): Update commentary. Always refresh the registers when frame information has changed. * tui/tui-stack.c (tui_show_frame_info): Update commentary. Change return type to int. Return 1 if frame information has changed, 1 otherwise.
