From 139f66c7287806a50dbee598e194ba869b7955d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Marchi Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2023 14:50:56 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] gdb: add HtabPrinter to gdb-gdb.py.in When debugging GDB, I find it a bit tedious to inspect htab_t objects. It is possible to find the entries by poking at the fields, but it's annoying to do each time. I think a pretty printer would help. Add a basic one to gdb-gdb.py. The pretty printer advertises itself as "array-like", and the result looks like: (top-gdb) p bfcache $3 = htab_t with 3 elements = {0x6210003252a0, 0x62100032caa0, 0x62100033baa0} The htab_t itself doesn't know about the type of pointed objects. But it's easy enough to cast the addresses to the right type to use them: (top-gdb) print *((btrace_frame_cache *) 0x6210003252a0) $6 = {tp = 0x61700002ed80, frame = 0x6210003251e0, bfun = 0x62000000b390} Change-Id: Ia692e3555fe7a117b7ec087840246b1260a704c6 Reviewed-By: Tom Tromey --- gdb/gdb-gdb.py.in | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 34 insertions(+) diff --git a/gdb/gdb-gdb.py.in b/gdb/gdb-gdb.py.in index 95b7d84966f..56d063cd506 100644 --- a/gdb/gdb-gdb.py.in +++ b/gdb/gdb-gdb.py.in @@ -369,6 +369,35 @@ class IntrusiveListPrinter: return self._children_generator() +class HtabPrinter: + """Pretty-printer for htab_t hash tables.""" + + def __init__(self, val): + self._val = val + + def display_hint(self): + return "array" + + def to_string(self): + n = int(self._val["n_elements"]) - int(self._val["n_deleted"]) + return "htab_t with {} elements".format(n) + + def children(self): + size = int(self._val["size"]) + entries = self._val["entries"] + + child_i = 0 + for entries_i in range(size): + entry = entries[entries_i] + # 0 (NULL pointer) means there's nothing, 1 (HTAB_DELETED_ENTRY) + # means there was something, but is now deleted. + if int(entry) in (0, 1): + continue + + yield (str(child_i), entry) + child_i += 1 + + def type_lookup_function(val): """A routine that returns the correct pretty printer for VAL if appropriate.
