So the last instruction of 'beta' is a call # to 'abort'. When gdb looks for information about the caller of # 'beta', it looks at the instruction after the call to 'abort' -- which # is the first instruction of 'alpha'! So gdb uses the wrong frame # information. It thinks that the test program is in 'alpha' and that # the prologue "push %ebp / mov %esp,%ebp" has not been executed yet, # and grabs the wrong values. # # By the nature of the bug, it could pass if the C compiler is not smart # enough to implement 'abort' as a noreturn function. This is okay. # The real point is that users often put breakpoints on noreturn # functions such as 'abort' or some kind of exitting function, and those # breakpoints should work. gdb_test_multiple "backtrace" "backtrace from abort" { -re "#0.*abort.*\r\n#1.*beta.*\r\n#2.*alpha.*\r\n#3.*main.*\r\n$gdb_prompt $" { pass "backtrace from abort" } -re "#0.*abort.*\r\n#1.*beta.*\r\n$gdb_prompt $" { # This happens with gdb HEAD as of 2003-07-13, with gcc 3.3, # binutils 2.14, either -gdwarf-2 or -gstabs+, on native # i686-pc-linux-gnu. # # gdb gets 'abort' and 'beta' right and then goes into the # weeds. kfail "gdb/1250" "backtrace from abort" } }
