- Subject: [patch] linux-low.c: handle android bionic ptrace
Hi.
The next thing getting in the way of compiling gdbserver on android
is calls to ptrace.
The signature of ptrace on Bionic is:
extern long ptrace(int request, pid_t pid, void *addr, void *data);
The linux manpage defines it as:
long ptrace(enum __ptrace_request request, pid_t pid,
void *addr, void *data);
But glibc defines it as a variadic function:
extern long int ptrace (enum __ptrace_request __request, ...) __THROW;
This patch changes PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE from long to void *,
adds PTRACE_ARG4_TYPE, and updates all the calls to ptrace
that need explicit casting.
I will check it in tomorrow if there are no objections.
Tested with --target_board=native-gdbserver on amd64-linux.

* linux-low.c (PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE): Change from long to void*.
(PTRACE_ARG4_TYPE): New macro.
(handle_extended_wait): Cast ptrace arg4 to PTRACE_ARG4_TYPE.
(linux_wait_for_event_1, linux_resume_one_lwp): Ditto.
(fetch_register): Cast to uintptr_t before casting to PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE.
(usr_store_inferior_registers): Ditto.
(linux_read_memory, linux_write_memory): Ditto.
(linux_test_for_tracefork): Ditto.
