Description Tom Tromey 2013-01-28 18:49:55 UTC
Debug this simple program:

barimba. nl -ba q.c
     1	int main()
     2	{
     3	  int x = 5;
     4	
     5	  ++x;
     6	  ++x;
     7	
     8	  return x - 7;
     9	}


Now put a dprintf on line 6:

(gdb) dprintf q.c:6, "%d\n", x
Dprintf 1 at 0x400483: file q.c, line 6.


Now "start" and try "next"ing through the program.
Once the dprintf is hit, "next" will act like "continue".
This is a bug in how dprintf is implemented.

(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 2 at 0x400478: file q.c, line 3.
Starting program: /tmp/q 

Temporary breakpoint 2, main () at q.c:3
3	  int x = 5;
(gdb) n
5	  ++x;
(gdb) 
6

Comment 1 Yao Qi 2013-02-02 18:43:22 UTC
We need add a new user-invisible "continue without clearing proceed status" command, and let dprintf to use it.  I'll post patches for this.

The existing Python "Breakpoint.stop" API needed this kind
of thing already, so the infrastructure exists.
The error was making dprintf use the breakpoint commands instead
of just having internal actions; the original review pointed this out.

If you do implement a command like this, don't make it user-invisible.
It might be useful for other things.
However, be sure to look at the other bugs related to this before
embarking on that course.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I'll have a look.

Right, for the record, it was pointed out here http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg00211.html

OK, no problem.

What do you mean by "the other bugs related to this"?  bugs related to dprintf or the new command we try to add?

I think there may be other bugs along the lines of "commands interfere
with next".  I may be confusing this with "finish doesn't work in commands"
though.

I don't understand the attraction of trying to keep dprintf working
via "commands".

This is an awesome fix.  Thanks!
I won't mark as Verified since I didn't open it myself.
