Hardware Debug Registers on 386

Greetings,

This is not really a bug report, but I am sending it here anyhow.

I have made a few modifications to gdb-4.4 to use the hardware debug
registers on the 386 running Interactive 2.2.1 (Sys V/386 Rel3.2).

They are implemented as a new class of breakpoint. I thought that
they should be seperate from watchpoints because watchpoints break on
a whole expression changing. Which I think is much different than
a breakpoint on a memory access. Any how there are three new commands.

wbreak: Break on a memory write to a location.
abreak: Break on a memory access (read or write) to a location.

info memorypoints: Lists them all out (just like info break).

They can be set on any expression that evaluates to a memory location.

Special note: To set an access breakpoint on location 0 (good for catching
reads or writes from a NULL pointer).

abreak *(int *)0

I think It is fairly straight forward. I didn't make any info files for this.


I put the machine dependant parts in i386-xdep.c most of the rest of it is
in breakpoint.c. Several other files just had the
struct target_ops XXXXX_target structures modified.

I think(hope) that all of the changes are inside of
#ifdef HAVE_MEM_BEEAKPOINT
#endif
blocks so hopefully this will not break any thing if you don't define
-DHAVE_MEM_BREAKPOINT
not positive about this however. I hope this addition fits into the
scheme of gdb and does not break things for other systems. Let me know.

There is also a small patch to coffread.c in this diff to make user defined
types work. I think It should also be integrated into gdb. The final patch
is to trad-core.c to get core files to work on this machine. I don't know
how it pertains to other machines.

Also note: For some reason I don't remember I initally ran
configure i386-none-sysv32 instead of what ever config thinks I should run
for this system. I am not sure if that matters.


these are the commands used to build gdb-4.4 from the main Makefile
i.e. not the one in gdb/.

gmake CC="gcc -traditional" HDEFINES="-D_POSIX_SOURCE -DTRAD_CORE" \
HDEPFILES=trad-core.o READLINE_DEFINES="-D_POSIX_VERSION -D_POSIX_SOURCE" \
LOADLIBES=-lcposix USER_CFLAGS=-DHAVE_MEM_BREAKPOINT
