On MIPS64 little endian, attempting an assignment to a bit field
that lives in a register yields the wrong result. It just corrupts
the data in the register depending on the specific position of the
bit field inside the structure.

=== gdb Summary ===
Now, GDB knows how to do bit field assignment properly, but MIPS is
one of those architectures that uses a hook for the register-to-value
conversion. Although we can properly tell when the type being passed
is a structure or union, we cannot tell when it is a bit field,
because the bit field data lives in a value structure. Such data
only lives in a "type" structure when the parent structure is being
referenced, thus you can collect them from the flds_bnds members.
A bit field type structure looks pretty much the same as any other
primitive type like int or char, so we can't distinguish them.
Forcing more fields into the type structure wouldn't help much,
because the type structs are shared.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
