Re: [PATCH/RFC] Per-architecture DWARF CFI register state initializationhooks



Sorry, my analysis wasn't completely correct.  What actually happens
is an init-order problem during the initialization of the gdbarch
in initialize_current_architecture.  The problem is that I call
dwarf2_frame_set_init_reg from within the s390_gdbarch_init routine
(which I gather is the right place?), and at this point in time,
the gdbarch_data call in dwarf2_frame_set_init_reg returns NULL
because the gdbarch hasn't finished initialization yet:

I've committed the attatched. It follows the convention described in that revised doco patch I posted:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2004-02/msg00381.html


Andrew

gdbarch_data (struct gdbarch *gdbarch, struct gdbarch_data *data)
{
  gdb_assert (data->index < gdbarch->nr_data);
  /* The data-pointer isn't initialized, call init() to get a value but
     only if the architecture initializaiton has completed.  Otherwise
     punt - hope that the caller knows what they are doing.  */
  if (gdbarch->data[data->index] == NULL
      && gdbarch->initialized_p)


Oopsie.  Yes, now I can see what's going on - I'm not sure what should
change here.  Andrew, do you recall if the initialized_p check was for
any specific problem, or might we be able to remove it?
