- Subject: [PATCH] gdb/riscv: Don't error when decoding a 6 or 8 byte instruction
If the RISC-V prologue scanner finds a 6 or 8 byte instruction we
currently throw an internal error, which is not great for the user.
A mechanism already exists in the prologue scanner to leave
instructions marked as unknown so that we can stop the prologue scan
without raising an error, this is used for all 2 and 4 byte
instructions that are not part of the small set the prologue scanner
actually understands.
This commit changes GDB so that all 6 and 8 byte instructions are
marked as unknown, rather than causing an error.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* riscv-tdep.c (riscv_insn::decode): Gracefully ignore
instructions of lengths 6 or 8 bytes.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/riscv-unwind-long-insn-6.s: New file.
* gdb.arch/riscv-unwind-long-insn-8.s: New file.
* gdb.arch/riscv-unwind-long-insn.c: New file.
* gdb.arch/riscv-unwind-long-insn.exp: New file.
