  23 Enabling the debugging hooks
  24 ----------------------------
  25 gcc/configure (from configure.ac) generates a .gdbinit within the "gcc"
  26 subdirectory of the build directory, and when run by gdb, this imports
  27 gcc/gdbhooks.py from the source directory, injecting useful Python code
  28 into gdb.
  29
  30 You may see a message from gdb of the form:
  31   "path-to-build/gcc/.gdbinit" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path'
  32 as a protection against untrustworthy python scripts.  See
  33   http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Auto_002dloading-safe-path.html
  34
  35 The fix is to mark the paths of the build/gcc directory as trustworthy.
  36 An easy way to do so is by adding the following to your ~/.gdbinit script:
  37   add-auto-load-safe-path /absolute/path/to/build/gcc
  38 for the build directories for your various checkouts of gcc.
  39
  40 If it's working, you should see the message:
  41   Successfully loaded GDB hooks for GCC
  42 as gdb starts up.
  43
  44 During development, I've been manually invoking the code in this way, as a
  45 precanned way of printing a variety of different kinds of value:
  46
  47   gdb \
  48     -ex "break expand_gimple_stmt" \
  49     -ex "run" \
  50     -ex "bt" \
  51     --args \
  52       ./cc1 foo.c -O3
  53
  54 Examples of output using the pretty-printers
  55 --------------------------------------------
  56 Pointer values are generally shown in the form:
  57   <type address extra_info>
  58
  59 For example, an opt_pass* might appear as:
  60   (gdb) p pass
  61   $2 = <opt_pass* 0x188b600 "expand"(170)>
  62
  63 The name of the pass is given ("expand"), together with the
  64 static_pass_number.
  65
  66 Note that you can dereference the pointer in the normal way:
  67   (gdb) p *pass
  68   $4 = {type = RTL_PASS, name = 0x120a312 "expand",
  69   [etc, ...snipped...]
  70
  71 and you can suppress pretty-printers using /r (for "raw"):
  72   (gdb) p /r pass
  73   $3 = (opt_pass *) 0x188b600
  74
  75 Basic blocks are shown with their index in parentheses, apart from the
  76 CFG's entry and exit blocks, which are given as "ENTRY" and "EXIT":
  77   (gdb) p bb
  78   $9 = <basic_block 0x7ffff041f1a0 (2)>
  79   (gdb) p cfun->cfg->x_entry_block_ptr
  80   $10 = <basic_block 0x7ffff041f0d0 (ENTRY)>
  81   (gdb) p cfun->cfg->x_exit_block_ptr
  82   $11 = <basic_block 0x7ffff041f138 (EXIT)>
  83
  84 CFG edges are shown with the src and dest blocks given in parentheses:
  85   (gdb) p e
  86   $1 = <edge 0x7ffff043f118 (ENTRY -> 6)>
  87
  88 Tree nodes are printed using Python code that emulates print_node_brief,
  89 running in gdb, rather than in the inferior:
  90   (gdb) p cfun->decl
  91   $1 = <function_decl 0x7ffff0420b00 foo>
  92 For usability, the type is printed first (e.g. "function_decl"), rather
  93 than just "tree".
  94
  95 RTL expressions use a kludge: they are pretty-printed by injecting
  96 calls into print-rtl.c into the inferior:
  97   Value returned is $1 = (note 9 8 10 [bb 3] NOTE_INSN_BASIC_BLOCK)
  98   (gdb) p $1
  99   $2 = (note 9 8 10 [bb 3] NOTE_INSN_BASIC_BLOCK)
 100   (gdb) p /r $1
 101   $3 = (rtx_def *) 0x7ffff043e140
 102 This won't work for coredumps, and probably in other circumstances, but
 103 it's a quick way of getting lots of debuggability quickly.
 104
 105 Callgraph nodes are printed with the name of the function decl, if
 106 available:
 107   (gdb) frame 5
 108   #5  0x00000000006c288a in expand_function (node=<cgraph_node* 0x7ffff0312720 "foo">) at ../../src/gcc/cgraphunit.c:1594
 109   1594    execute_pass_list (g->get_passes ()->all_passes);
 110   (gdb) p node
 111   $1 = <cgraph_node* 0x7ffff0312720 "foo">
 112
 113 vec<> pointers are printed as the address followed by the elements in
 114 braces.  Here's a length 2 vec:
 115   (gdb) p bb->preds
 116   $18 = 0x7ffff0428b68 = {<edge 0x7ffff044d380 (3 -> 5)>, <edge 0x7ffff044d3b8 (4 -> 5)>}
 117
 118 and here's a length 1 vec:
 119   (gdb) p bb->succs
 120   $19 = 0x7ffff0428bb8 = {<edge 0x7ffff044d3f0 (5 -> EXIT)>}
 121
 122 You cannot yet use array notation [] to access the elements within the
 123 vector: attempting to do so instead gives you the vec itself (for vec[0]),
 124 or a (probably) invalid cast to vec<> for the memory after the vec (for
 125 vec[1] onwards).
 126
 127 Instead (for now) you must access m_vecdata:
 128   (gdb) p bb->preds->m_vecdata[0]
 129   $20 = <edge 0x7ffff044d380 (3 -> 5)>
 130   (gdb) p bb->preds->m_vecdata[1]
 131   $21 = <edge 0x7ffff044d3b8 (4 -> 5)>
