20 # How to add to gdbarch:
22 # There are four kinds of fields in gdbarch:
24 # * Info - you should never need this; it is only for things that are
25 # copied directly from the gdbarch_info.
27 # * Value - a variable.
29 # * Function - a function pointer.
31 # * Method - a function pointer, but the function takes a gdbarch as
32 # its first parameter.
34 # You construct a new one with a call to one of those functions. So,
35 # for instance, you can use the function named "Value" to make a new
38 # All parameters are keyword-only. This is done to help catch typos.
40 # Some parameters are shared among all types (including Info):
42 # * "name" - required, the name of the field.
44 # * "type" - required, the type of the field. For functions and
45 # methods, this is the return type.
47 # * "printer" - an expression to turn this field into a 'const char
48 # *'. This is used for dumping. The string must live long enough to
49 # be passed to printf.
51 # Value, Function, and Method share some more parameters. Some of
52 # these work in conjunction in a somewhat complicated way, so they are
53 # described in a separate sub-section below.
55 # * "comment" - a comment that's written to the .h file. Please
56 # always use this. (It isn't currently a required option for
57 # historical reasons.)
59 # * "predicate" - a boolean, if True then a _p predicate function will
60 # be generated. The predicate will use the generic validation
61 # function for the field. See below.
63 # * "predefault", "postdefault", and "invalid" - These are used for
64 # the initialization and verification steps:
66 # A gdbarch is zero-initialized. Then, if a field has a pre-default,
67 # the field is set to that value. After initialization is complete
68 # (that is, after the tdep code has a chance to change the settings),
69 # the post-initialization step is done.
71 # There is a generic algorithm to generate a "validation function" for
72 # all fields. If the field has an "invalid" attribute with a string
73 # value, then this string is the expression (note that a string-valued
74 # "invalid" and "predicate" are mutually exclusive; and the case where
75 # invalid is True means to ignore this field and instead use the
76 # default checking that is about to be described). Otherwise, if
77 # there is a "predefault", then the field is valid if it differs from
78 # the predefault. Otherwise, the check is done against 0 (really NULL
79 # for function pointers, but same idea).
81 # In post-initialization / validation, there are several cases.
83 # * If "invalid" is False, or if the field specifies "predicate",
84 # validation is skipped. Otherwise, a validation step is emitted.
86 # * Otherwise, the validity is checked using the usual validation
87 # function (see above). If the field is considered valid, nothing is
90 # * Otherwise, the field's value is invalid. If there is a
91 # "postdefault", then the field is assigned that value.
93 # * Otherwise, the gdbarch will fail validation and gdb will crash.
95 # Function and Method share:
97 # * "params" - required, a tuple of tuples. Each inner tuple is a
98 # pair of the form (TYPE, NAME), where TYPE is the type of this
99 # argument, and NAME is the name. Note that while the names could be
100 # auto-generated, this approach lets the "comment" field refer to
101 # arguments in a nicer way. It is also just nicer for users.
103 # * "param_checks" - optional, a list of strings. Each string is an
104 # expression that is placed within a gdb_assert before the call is
105 # made to the Function/Method implementation. Each expression is
106 # something that should be true, and it is expected that the
107 # expression will make use of the parameters named in 'params' (though
108 # this is not required).
110 # * "result_checks" - optional, a list of strings. Each string is an
111 # expression that is placed within a gdb_assert after the call to the
112 # Function/Method implementation. Within each expression the variable
113 # 'result' can be used to reference the result of the function/method
114 # implementation. The 'result_checks' can only be used if the 'type'
115 # of this Function/Method is not 'void'.

1145 not sure it's used in all contexts. It exists to deal with there
1146 being a few stray bits in the PC which would mislead us, not as some

2139 For example, on PPC a register is represented by a number in the assembly
2140 language (e.g., `10' is the 10th general-purpose register). However,
2141 inside GDB this same register has an `r' appended to its name, so the 10th
2142 register would be represented as `r10' internally.

2186 Function used to handle a "special case" in the parser.
2188 A "special case" is considered to be an unknown token, i.e., a token
2189 that the parser does not know how to parse. A good example of special
2190 case would be ARM's register displacement syntax:
2192 [R0, #4] ;; displacing R0 by 4
2194 Since the parser assumes that a register displacement is of the form:
2196 <number> <indirection_prefix> <register_name> <indirection_suffix>
2198 it means that it will not be able to recognize and parse this odd syntax.
2199 Therefore, we should add a special case function that will handle this token.
2201 This function should generate the proper expression form of the expression
2202 using GDB's internal expression mechanism (e.g., `write_exp_elt_opcode'
2203 and so on). It should also return 1 if the parsing was successful, or zero
2204 if the token was not recognized as a special token (in this case, returning
2205 zero means that the special parser is deferring the parsing to the generic
2206 parser), and should advance the buffer pointer (p->arg).

2217 Perform arch-dependent adjustments to a register name.
2219 In very specific situations, it may be necessary for the register
2220 name present in a SystemTap probe's argument to be handled in a
2221 special way. For example, on i386, GCC may over-optimize the
2222 register allocation and use smaller registers than necessary. In
2223 such cases, the client that is reading and evaluating the SystemTap
2224 probe (ourselves) will need to actually fetch values from the wider
2225 version of the register in question.
2227 To illustrate the example, consider the following probe argument
2232 This argument says that its value can be found at the %ax register,
2233 which is a 16-bit register. However, the argument's prefix says
2234 that its type is "uint32_t", which is 32-bit in size. Therefore, in
2235 this case, GDB should actually fetch the probe's value from register
2236 %eax, not %ax. In this scenario, this function would actually
2237 replace the register name from %ax to %eax.
2239 The rationale for this can be found at PR breakpoints/24541.
