From 0c80fce42a81d306ba92d8c044778227a1e5a5e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Marchi Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 15:08:57 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gdb/testsuite: use nopie in gdb.dwarf2/dw2-inline-param.exp I see this failure: (gdb) run ^M Starting program: /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-inline-param/dw2-inline-param ^M Warning:^M Cannot insert breakpoint 1.^M Cannot access memory at address 0x113b^M ^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-inline-param.exp: runto: run to *0x113b The test loads the binary in GDB, grabs the address of a symbol, strips the binary, reloads it in GDB, runs the program, and then tries to place a breakpoint at that address. The problem is that the binary is built as position independent, so the address GDB grabs in the first place isn't where the code ends up after running. Fix this by linking the binary as non-position-independent. The alternative would be to compute the relocated address where to place the breakpoint, but that's not very straightforward, unfortunately. I was confused for a while, I was trying to load the binary in GDB manually to get the symbol address, but GDB was telling me the symbol could not be found. Meanwhile, it clearly worked in gdb.log. The thing is that GDB strips the binary in-place, so we don't have access to the intermediary binary with symbols. Change the test to output the stripped binary to a separate file instead.
