- Subject: [RFA] Fix PR gdb/11702, printing of static const member variables
Hi.
This patch fixes http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11702
btw, the dwarf4 standard, as I read it, says static member variables are
identified by having DW_AT_external. [4.1 Data Object Entries]
However, dwarf2_add_field is calling die_is_declaration.
This seems wrong, but I didn't address this here, other than to add
a note pointing this out (because some new code in new_symbol should match).
Also, I added a case to new_symbol to handle DW_TAG_member.
gcc uses DW_TAG_variable but the correct way AIUI is DW_TAG_member,
so I added a case to new_symbol to handle it.
I'm not sure I like putting it with DW_TAG_variable,
but I assumed y'all would prefer the absence of code duplication.
If you want me to make it a separate case, let me know.
[Another way to go would be to try to use some code from the
DW_TAG_enumerator case - but since dwarf2_add_field would be the
caller for DW_TAG_variable and DW_TAG_member, I went with the current patch.]
There is one outstanding issue.
"info var static_const_member" should work, I *think*.
Is that true?
If so, then more work needs to be done (or even a different approach,
but the current patch seems reasonable).
symtab.c:search_symbols has this:
if (file_matches (real_symtab->filename, files, nfiles)
&& ((regexp == NULL
|| re_exec (SYMBOL_NATURAL_NAME (sym)) != 0)
&& ((kind == VARIABLES_DOMAIN && SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) != LOC_TYPEDEF
&& SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) != LOC_UNRESOLVED
&& SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) != LOC_BLOCK
>>>> && SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) != LOC_CONST)
|| (kind == FUNCTIONS_DOMAIN && SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) == LOC_BLOCK)
|| (kind == TYPES_DOMAIN && SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) == LOC_TYPEDEF))))
This prevents static const members from being found using the current
implementation. Why do we care about LOC_CONST here?
[And, if we do, this also needs to check LOC_CONST_BYTES ...]
Comments?
Ok to check in?
