We have two stacks to deal with on ia64, when making a function call. The first is the usual stack frame, and the second is the register stack frame. On ia64-linux, the register frame is setup by adjusting the BSP register. Unfortunately for us, the HP-UX kernel does not allow the debugger to change the value of the BSP. To work around that limitation, the method I am using here is to push some assembly code on the stack. This assembly code contains, among other things, a call to the alloc insn, which sets up our frame for us. An extensive comment in ia64-hpux-tdep.c explains the entire procedure. Despite this approach, most of the code in ia64-tdep.c which sets up the function call is still applicable - and only a few things need to be done differently: For instance, instead of changing the BSP, we do nothing. We store the parameters at a different location, etc. So this patch also adjusts the inf-call code in ia64-tdep.c to make it a little more extensible: I create a new ia64_infcall_ops structure which allows an ABI to define how the few things that need to be differentiated. Another element that turned out to be necessary but is more of a detail is that the computation of the linkage pointer needs to be handled specially for symbols inside shared libraries. This is especially visible when calling malloc, which happens everytime memory needs to be allocated in inferior memory... The special treatment included again the necessity to use some routines only available on the host. So another target object TARGET_OBJECT_HPUX_SOLIB_GOT was created for that purpose. gdb/ChangeLog: * ia64-tdep.h (struct regcache): Forward declare. (struct ia64_infcall_ops): New struct type. (struct gdbarch_tdep): New fields "find_global_pointer_from_solib" and "infcall_ops". * ia64-tdep.c (ia64_find_global_pointer_from_dynamic_section): Renames ia64_find_global_pointer. (ia64_find_global_pointer, ia64_allocate_new_rse_frame) (ia64_store_argument_in_slot, ia64_set_function_addr: New function. (ia64_push_dummy_call): Adjust to use the new tdep ia64_infocall_ops methods. (ia64_infcall_ops): New static global constant. (ia64_gdbarch_init): Set tdep->infcall_ops. * ia64-hpux-nat.c (ia64_hpux_xfer_solib_got): New function. (ia64_hpux_xfer_partial): Add TARGET_OBJECT_HPUX_SOLIB_GOT handing. * ia64-hpux-tdep.c: Include "regcache.h", "gdbcore.h" and "inferior.h". (ia64_hpux_dummy_code): New static global constant. (ia64_hpux_push_dummy_code, ia64_hpux_allocate_new_rse_frame) (ia64_hpux_store_argument_in_slot, ia64_hpux_set_function_addr) (ia64_hpux_dummy_id, ia64_hpux_find_global_pointer_from_solib): New function. (ia64_hpux_infcall_ops): New static global constant. (ia64_hpux_init_abi): Install gdbarch and tdep methods needed for inferior function calls to work properly on ia64-hpux.

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.
