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 "predefault",
67 # the field is set to that value. This becomes the field's initial
70 # After initialization is complete (that is, after the tdep code has a
71 # chance to change the settings), the post-initialization step is
74 # If the field still has its initial value (see above), and the field
75 # has a "postdefault", then the field is set to this value.
77 # After the possible "postdefault" assignment, validation is
78 # performed for fields that don't have a "predicate".
80 # If the field has an "invalid" attribute with a string value, then
81 # this string is the expression that should evaluate to true when the
84 # Otherwise, if "invalid" is True (the default), then the generic
85 # validation function is used: the field is considered invalid it
86 # still contains its default value. This validation is what is used
87 # within the _p predicate function if the field has "predicate" set to
90 # Function and Method share:
92 # * "params" - required, a tuple of tuples. Each inner tuple is a
93 # pair of the form (TYPE, NAME), where TYPE is the type of this
94 # argument, and NAME is the name. Note that while the names could be
95 # auto-generated, this approach lets the "comment" field refer to
96 # arguments in a nicer way. It is also just nicer for users.
98 # * "param_checks" - optional, a list of strings. Each string is an
99 # expression that is placed within a gdb_assert before the call is
100 # made to the Function/Method implementation. Each expression is
101 # something that should be true, and it is expected that the
102 # expression will make use of the parameters named in 'params' (though
103 # this is not required).
105 # * "result_checks" - optional, a list of strings. Each string is an
106 # expression that is placed within a gdb_assert after the call to the
107 # Function/Method implementation. Within each expression the variable
108 # 'result' can be used to reference the result of the function/method
109 # implementation. The 'result_checks' can only be used if the 'type'
110 # of this Function/Method is not 'void'.
112 # * "implement" - optional, a boolean. If True (the default), a
113 # wrapper function for this function will be emitted.

2292 Function used to handle a "special case" in the parser.
2294 A "special case" is considered to be an unknown token, i.e., a token
2295 that the parser does not know how to parse. A good example of special
2296 case would be ARM's register displacement syntax:
2298 [R0, #4] ;; displacing R0 by 4
2300 Since the parser assumes that a register displacement is of the form:
2302 <number> <indirection_prefix> <register_name> <indirection_suffix>
2304 it means that it will not be able to recognize and parse this odd syntax.
2305 Therefore, we should add a special case function that will handle this token.
2307 This function should generate the proper expression form of the expression
2308 using GDB's internal expression mechanism (e.g., `write_exp_elt_opcode'
2309 and so on). It should also return 1 if the parsing was successful, or zero
2310 if the token was not recognized as a special token (in this case, returning
2311 zero means that the special parser is deferring the parsing to the generic
2312 parser), and should advance the buffer pointer (p->arg).

2322 Perform arch-dependent adjustments to a register name.
2324 In very specific situations, it may be necessary for the register
2325 name present in a SystemTap probe's argument to be handled in a
2326 special way. For example, on i386, GCC may over-optimize the
2327 register allocation and use smaller registers than necessary. In
2328 such cases, the client that is reading and evaluating the SystemTap
2329 probe (ourselves) will need to actually fetch values from the wider
2330 version of the register in question.
2332 To illustrate the example, consider the following probe argument
2337 This argument says that its value can be found at the %ax register,
2338 which is a 16-bit register. However, the argument's prefix says
2339 that its type is "uint32_t", which is 32-bit in size. Therefore, in
2340 this case, GDB should actually fetch the probe's value from register
2341 %eax, not %ax. In this scenario, this function would actually
2342 replace the register name from %ax to %eax.
2344 The rationale for this can be found at PR breakpoints/24541.
