95 /* A program space represents a symbolic view of an address space.
96 Roughly speaking, it holds all the data associated with a
97 non-running-yet program (main executable, main symbols), and when
98 an inferior is running and is bound to it, includes the list of its
99 mapped in shared libraries.
101 In the traditional debugging scenario, there's a 1-1 correspondence
102 among program spaces, inferiors and address spaces, like so:
104 pspace1 (prog1) <--> inf1(pid1) <--> aspace1
106 In the case of debugging more than one traditional unix process or
107 program, we still have:
109 |-----------------+------------+---------|
110 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
111 |----------------------------------------|
112 | pspace2 (prog1) | no inf yet | aspace2 |
113 |-----------------+------------+---------|
114 | pspace3 (prog2) | inf2(pid2) | aspace3 |
115 |-----------------+------------+---------|
117 In the former example, if inf1 forks (and GDB stays attached to
118 both processes), the new child will have its own program and
119 address spaces. Like so:
121 |-----------------+------------+---------|
122 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
123 |-----------------+------------+---------|
124 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
125 |-----------------+------------+---------|
127 However, had inf1 from the latter case vforked instead, it would
128 share the program and address spaces with its parent, until it
129 execs or exits, like so:
131 |-----------------+------------+---------|
132 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
134 |-----------------+------------+---------|
136 When the vfork child execs, it is finally given new program and
139 |-----------------+------------+---------|
140 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
141 |-----------------+------------+---------|
142 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
143 |-----------------+------------+---------|
145 There are targets where the OS (if any) doesn't provide memory
146 management or VM protection, where all inferiors share the same
147 address space --- e.g. uClinux. GDB models this by having all
148 inferiors share the same address space, but, giving each its own
149 program space, like so:
151 |-----------------+------------+---------|
152 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | |
153 |-----------------+------------+ |
154 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace1 |
155 |-----------------+------------+ |
156 | pspace3 (prog2) | inf3(pid3) | |
157 |-----------------+------------+---------|
159 The address space sharing matters for run control and breakpoints
160 management. E.g., did we just hit a known breakpoint that we need
161 to step over? Is this breakpoint a duplicate of this other one, or
162 do I need to insert a trap?
164 Then, there are targets where all symbols look the same for all
165 inferiors, although each has its own address space, as e.g.,
166 Ericsson DICOS. In such case, the model is:
168 |---------+------------+---------|
169 | | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
170 | +------------+---------|
171 | pspace | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
172 | +------------+---------|
173 | | inf3(pid3) | aspace3 |
174 |---------+------------+---------|
176 Note however, that the DICOS debug API takes care of making GDB
177 believe that breakpoints are "global". That is, although each
178 process does have its own private copy of data symbols (just like a
179 bunch of forks), to the breakpoints module, all processes share a
180 single address space, so all breakpoints set at the same address
181 are duplicates of each other, even breakpoints set in the data
182 space (e.g., call dummy breakpoints placed on stack). This allows
183 a simplification in the spaces implementation: we avoid caring for
184 a many-many links between address and program spaces. Either
185 there's a single address space bound to the program space
186 (traditional unix/uClinux), or, in the DICOS case, the address
187 space bound to the program space is mostly ignored. */
