- Subject: [RFA/commit] amd64 - function returning record with field straddling 2 registers.
This is a change that we made 3 years ago and forgot to contribute.
I just noticed the problem again last week... The problem occurs when
trying to print the valued returned by a function, when this value
is a record returned by register, and when this record contains
a field whose position causes the field value to be split between
registers.
Consider for instance the following type:
type Rec is record
X: Integer;
S: String (1..8);
end record;
And the following function returning a value of that type:
function Bar return Rec is
begin
return (X => 42, S => "ABCDEFGH");
end Bar;
Trying to call this function from GDB and print the return value
leads to:
(gdb) p bar
$1 = (x => 42, s => "ABCD["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]")
The expected answer, of course, is:
(gdb) p bar
$2 = (x => 42, s => "ABCDEFGH")
The problem, as explained above, is in the treatment of fields that
are returned piecemeal over 2 registers. The ABI is not completely
clear in this case on how to deal with this situation - it seems
that the ABI makes an implicit assumption that straddling fields
like these do not occur. However, it seemed logical to apply the field
classification to both 8-bytes the field "touches". This patch
implements this idea, with a large comment explaining what we do,
and why we think it'll work. No regression on x86_64-linux.
gdb/ChangeLog:
From Paul Hilfinger <hilfinger@adacore.com>
* amd64-tdep.c (amd_classify_aggregate): Handle the case of
a record of length <= 16 in which a field straddles the two
eightbytes.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/rec_return: New testcase.
I would like to commit in a few days if there are no objections.
