It is possible that gdb will see more than one objfile that is + executable, each with its own entry point. + + For example, for dynamically linked executables in SVR4, the dynamic linker + code is contained within the shared C library, which is actually executable + and is run by the kernel first when an exec is done of a user executable + that is dynamically linked. The dynamic linker within the shared C library + then maps in the various program segments in the user executable and jumps + to the user executable's recorded entry point, as if the call had been made + directly by the kernel. + + The traditional gdb method of using this info is to use the recorded entry + point to set the variables entry_file_lowpc and entry_file_highpc from + the debugging information, where these values are the starting address + (inclusive) and ending address (exclusive) of the instruction space in the + executable which correspond to the "startup file", I.E. crt0.o in most + cases. This file is assumed to be a startup file and frames with pc's + inside it are treated as nonexistent. Setting these variables is necessary + so that backtraces do not fly off the bottom of the stack. + + Gdb also supports an alternate method to avoid running off the bottom + of the stack. + + There are two frames that are "special", the frame for the function + containing the process entry point, since it has no predecessor frame, + and the frame for the function containing the user code entry point + (the main() function), since all the predecessor frames are for the + process startup code. Since we have no guarantee that the linked + in startup modules have any debugging information that gdb can use, + we need to avoid following frame pointers back into frames that might + have been built in the startup code, as we might get hopelessly + confused. However, we almost always have debugging information + available for main(). + + These variables are used to save the range of PC values which are valid + within the main() function and within the function containing the process + entry point. If we always consider the frame for main() as the outermost + frame when debugging user code, and the frame for the process entry + point function as the outermost frame when debugging startup code, then + all we have to do is have FRAME_CHAIN_VALID return false whenever a + frame's current PC is within the range specified by these variables. + In essence, we set "ceilings" in the frame chain beyond which we will + not proceed when following the frame chain back up the stack. + + A nice side effect is that we can still debug startup code without + running off the end of the frame chain, assuming that we have usable + debugging information in the startup modules, and if we choose to not + use the block at main, or can't find it for some reason, everything + still works as before. And if we have no startup code debugging + information but we do have usable information for main(), backtraces + from user code don't go wandering off into the startup code. + + To use this method, define your FRAME_CHAIN_VALID macro like: + + #define FRAME_CHAIN_VALID(chain, thisframe) \ + (chain != 0 \ + && !(inside_main_func ((thisframe)->pc)) \ + && !(inside_entry_func ((thisframe)->pc))) + + and add initializations of the four scope controlling variables inside + the object file / debugging information processing modules. */ + +struct entry_info +{ + + /* The value we should use for this objects entry point. + The illegal/unknown value needs to be something other than 0, ~0 + for instance, which is much less likely than 0. */ + + CORE_ADDR entry_point; + +#define INVALID_ENTRY_POINT (~0) /* ~0 will not be in any file, we hope. */ + + /* Start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) of function containing the + entry point. */ + + CORE_ADDR entry_func_lowpc; + CORE_ADDR entry_func_highpc; + + /* Start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) of object file containing the + entry point. */ + + CORE_ADDR entry_file_lowpc; + CORE_ADDR entry_file_highpc; + + /* Start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) of the user code main() function. */ + + CORE_ADDR main_func_lowpc; + CORE_ADDR main_func_highpc; + +/* Use these values when any of the above ranges is invalid. */ + +/* We use these values because it guarantees that there is no number that is + both >= LOWPC && < HIGHPC.
