Is there a C++/C thing happening here between the PCC simulator and GDB?
A follow up. It looks like GDB is being built by cc which is clang on
FreeBSD. I am told by Joel this gdb target builds on Linux.
I do not know what the extern binding is for gdb, C or C++?
clang vs gcc shouldn't really break this.
Yes I agree.
What undefined symbols do you see
in the nm of sim_calls.o?
The symbol is `error` and in my original post I showed the output of nm
for the errors.o object file and `error` symbol is mangled. One thing
that confuses me is only this symbol is being reported and there must be
other calls to gdb.
Looking at sim/ppc/Makefile.in, it only references CC, not CXX, so I would not
be surprised if it compiles as C without mangled symbols giving the error you
have.
Interesting. I will take a closer look. Maybe something on Linux is
building the sim/ppc as C++ and this does not happen with clang.
I think 7.12 can still be built as C, though you might need to use a
configure flag to do so?
Really? I see code in 'gdbtypes.h' of 'enum type_code { ... }' and that
looks C++ and not C to me.
If you see non-mangled symbols from sim_calls.o, I
would try building 7.12 as plain C to see if that fixes it for now.
I will take a look and report back. If this works I will need to
consider the path we take as doing this complicates the build matrix for
RTEMS where we have a number of hosts and possibly differing versions of
gdb across the supported architectures.
Thanks
Chris
