Possibly similar to 23220 however on 64-bit recent Debian sid with
trivial code I see :

I looked at bug #23220, but that one uses stabs, so it's probably
unrelated.

Can you attach your executable?  That might provide enough info
to find the problem.

Frequently, though, this kind of thing turns out to be a compiler bug.
Comment 2 Dennis Clarke 2021-04-17 17:53:59 UTC 
Seems like a good observation and I sort of wondered about the compiler
here. So then with gcc 9.3.0 from the Debian folks : 

mimas$ /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc-9 --version

     6  {

I will attach two binaries : 

    1) foo_sparc64_gcc-10.xz  made with gcc 10.2.1

    2) foo_sparc64_gcc-9.xz   made with gcc 9.3.0

I may go get sources to a previous gdb release and see if I can build
and test.

Thank you so much for your kind attention to this.

Another bit of info that might be useful is the output of
"info frame".
Comment 6 Dennis Clarke 2021-04-17 22:55:07 UTC 

As a follow up I can report that gdb 8.3.1 seems to work as expected :

mimas$ which gdb

mimas$ 
mimas$ /usr/local/bin/gdb --version

     2  #include <stdio.h>
     3  #include <stdlib.h>
     4
     5  int main(int argc, char **argv)
     6  {
     7      int a = 1;
     8
     9      printf("a = %i\n", a);
    10
    11      printf("&a = %p\n", &a);
    12
    13      return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    14
    15  }
    16

Lets compile that with GCC 9.3.0 :

Comment 7 Simon Marchi 2021-04-18 01:21:32 UTC 
Can you try with the latest gdb-10-branch (the soon-to-be GDB 10.2)?

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gdb-10-branch

I believe this is fixed there.

It sounds like you have a theory of what the problem is... ?
If so it would be good to know, since I didn't recognize the problem.

Yes, sorry, I wrote that in a hurry.

I remembered fixing something for sparc, and indeed this commit fixes the bug reported by Dennis for me (before that commit, I see the bug):

gdb: set current thread in sparc_{fetch,collect}_inferior_registers (PR gdb/27147)

Comment 10 Dennis Clarke 2021-04-19 10:44:29 UTC 
I did checkout the gdb-10-branch and after a long and tedious build I
was surprised to see that "make install" seemed to actually install
nothing. That is a separate issue that I will figure out. 

However I can report that the behaviour seems sane :

Seems valid. 

Why is the status of this bug "unconfirmed"?

FWIW, this definitely works for me.

Thank you.

> Why is the status of this bug "unconfirmed"? 

gdb as a project isn't too meticulous about tracking bug status.
Some people will change the status to "new", some won't.
I tend not to look at the unconfirmed/new difference when looking
at bugs, so I'm one of the guilty ones here.

Anyway, since this is reported as fixed, I am going to close it now.
That's one state we do track :-)

Thanks for your report & for building and trying out a newer gdb.
