[PATCH 5/7] Implement remote_pid_to_exec_file using qXfer:exec-file:read
- From: Gary Benson <gbenson at redhat dot com>
- To: gdb-patches at sourceware dot org
- Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 12:22:19 +0100
- Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Implement remote_pid_to_exec_file using qXfer:exec-file:read
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
- References: <1427887341-31819-1-git-send-email-gbenson at redhat dot com>
This commit adds a new packet "qXfer:exec-file:read" to the remote
protocol that can be used to obtain the pathname of the file that
was executed to create a process on the remote system. Support for
this packet is added to GDB and remote_ops.to_pid_to_exec_file is
implemented using it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.h (TARGET_OBJECT_EXEC_FILE): New enum value.
* remote.c (PACKET_qXfer_exec_file): Likewise.
(remote_protocol_features): Register the
"qXfer:exec-file:read" feature.
(remote_xfer_partial): Handle TARGET_OBJECT_EXEC_FILE.
(remote_pid_to_exec_file): New function.
(init_remote_ops): Initialize to_pid_to_exec_file.
(_initialize_remote): Register new "set/show remote
pid-to-exec-file-packet" command.
* NEWS: Announce new qXfer:exec-file:read packet.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): Document the "set/show
remote pid-to-exec-file-packet" command.
(General Query Packets): Document the qXfer:exec-file:read
qSupported features. Document the qXfer:exec-file:read packet.
