Hi,
Consider this snippet from gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/guality/vla-1.c:
...
int __attribute__((noinline))
f1 (int i)
{
char a[i + 1];
a[0] = 5; /* { dg-final { gdb-test .+1 "i" "5" } } */
return a[0]; /* { dg-final { gdb-test . "sizeof (a)" "6" } }
*/
}
...
When we compile the test-case with -O1 -g, and query the size of
optimized
out vla 'a', we get:
...
$ ./gdb -batch -ex "b f1" -ex "r" -ex "p sizeof (a)" vla-1.exe
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004a8: file vla-1.c, line 17.
Breakpoint 1, f1 (i=i@entry=5) at vla-1.c:17
17 return a[0];
$1 = 0
...
while we expect a size of '6'.
The problem is that default_read_var_value does not resolve the dynamic
type
of a variable if the variable is optimized out.
This patch fixes that, and consequently gdb prints '6', as expected.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
OK for trunk?
Thanks,
- Tom
