commit 54019719152ab269fb4cec2c6a8a245ba6af6e49
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>

C++: handle glibc's ptrace(enum __ptrace_request, ...)
Building in C++ mode issues ~40 warnings like this:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c: In function â??int linux_handle_extended_wait(lwp_info*, int, int)â??:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:2016:51: warning: invalid conversion from â??intâ?? to â??__ptrace_requestâ?? [-fpermissive]
ptrace (PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, pid, 0, &new_pid);
The issue is that in glibc, ptrace's first parameter is an enum.
That's not a problem if we pick the PTRACE_XXX requests from
sys/ptrace.h, as those will be values of the corresponding enum.
However, we have fallback definitions for PTRACE_XXX symbols when the
system headers miss them (such as PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG above), and those
are plain integer constants. E.g., nat/linux-ptrace.h:
#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
One idea would be to fix this by defining those fallbacks like:
-#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
+#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG ((enum __ptrace_request) 0x4201)
However, while glibc's ptrace uses enum __ptrace_request for first
parameter:
extern long int ptrace (enum __ptrace_request __request, ...) __THROW;
other libc's, like e.g., Android's bionic do not -- in that case, the
first parameter is int:
long ptrace(int request, pid_t pid, void * addr, void * data);
So the fix I came up is to make configure/ptrace.m4 also detect the
type of the ptrace's first parameter and defin PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1, as
already does the for parameters 3-4, and then simply wrap ptrace with
a macro that casts the first argument to the detected type. (I'm
leaving adding a nicer wrapper for when we drop building in C).
While this adds the wrapper, GNU/Linux files won't use it until the
next patch, which makes all native GNU/Linux files include
gdb_ptrace.h.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-07-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* ptrace.m4 (ptrace tests): Test in C++ mode. Try with 'enum
__ptrace_request as first parameter type instead of int.
(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1): Define.
* nat/gdb_ptrace.h [!PTRACE_TYPE_ARG5] (ptrace): Define as wrapper
that casts first argument to PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1.
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-07-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
