From 858c8f2c1b900258c44cebe2798ca0271100a33d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Marchi Date: Tue, 4 May 2021 11:20:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gdb/testsuite: adjust gdb.python/flexible-array-member.exp expected pattern The `Type.range ()` tests in gdb.python/flexible-array-member.exp pass when the test is compiled with gcc 9 or later, but not with gcc 8 or earlier: $ make check TESTS="gdb.python/flexible-array-member.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="CC_FOR_TARGET='gcc-8'" python print(zs['items'].type.range())^M (0, 0)^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/flexible-array-member.exp: python print(zs['items'].type.range()) python print(zso['items'].type.range())^M (0, 0)^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/flexible-array-member.exp: python print(zso['items'].type.range()) The value that we get for the upper bound of a flexible array member declared with a "0" size is 0 with gcc <= 8 and is -1 for gcc >= 9. This is due to different debug info. For this member, gcc 8 does: 0x000000d5: DW_TAG_array_type DW_AT_type [DW_FORM_ref4] (0x00000034 "int") DW_AT_sibling [DW_FORM_ref4] (0x000000e4) 0x000000de: DW_TAG_subrange_type DW_AT_type [DW_FORM_ref4] (0x0000002d "long unsigned int") For the same type, gcc 9 does: 0x000000d5: DW_TAG_array_type DW_AT_type [DW_FORM_ref4] (0x00000034 "int") DW_AT_sibling [DW_FORM_ref4] (0x000000e5) 0x000000de: DW_TAG_subrange_type DW_AT_type [DW_FORM_ref4] (0x0000002d "long unsigned int") DW_AT_count [DW_FORM_data1] (0x00) Ideally, GDB would present a consistent and documented value for an array member declared with size 0, regardless of how the debug info looks like. But for now, just change the test to accept the two values, to get rid of the failure and make the test in sync I also realized (by looking at the py-type.exp test) that calling the fields method on an array type yields one field representing the "index" of the array. The type of that field is of type range (gdb.TYPE_CODE_RANGE). When calling `.range()` on that range type, it yields the same range tuple as when calling `.range()` on the array type itself. For completeness, add some tests to access the range tuple through that range type as well. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.python/flexible-array-member.exp: Adjust expected range value for member declared with 0 size. Test accessing range tuple through range type.
