If not, see . # This file is part of the gdb testsuite. # Test that GDB presents a hardware watchpoint stop at the first # instruction right after the instruction that changes memory. # # Some targets trigger a hardware watchpoint after the instruction # that wrote memory executes, thus with the memory already changed and # the PC pointing to the instruction after the instruction that wrote # to memory. These targets are said to have "continuable" # watchpoints, referring to the fact that to make progress after the # watchpoint triggers, GDB just needs to continue the target. # # Other targets trigger a hardware watchpoint at the instruction which # has attempted to write to the piece of memory under control of the # watchpoint, with the instruction actually not executed yet. To be # able to check whether the watched value changed, GDB needs to # complete the memory write, single-stepping the target once. These # targets are said to have "non-continuable" watchpoints. # # This test makes sure that GDB knows which kind of watchpoint the # target has, using this sequence of steps: # # 1 - run to main # # 2 - set a software watchpoint # # 3 - continue until watchpoint triggers # # 4 - the PC now points to the instruction right after the instruction # that actually caused the memory write. So this is the address a # hardware watchpoint should present the stop to the user too. # Store the PC address. # # 5 - replace the software watchpoint by a hardware watchpoint # # 6 - continue until hardware watchpoint triggers # # 7 - the PC must point to the same address the software watchpoint # triggered at. # # If the target has continuable watchpoints, but GDB thinks it has # non-continuable watchpoints, GDB will stop the inferior two # instructions after the watched value change, rather than at the next # instruction. # # If the target has non-continuable watchpoints, while GDB thinks it # has continuable watchpoints, GDB will see a watchpoint trigger, # notice no value changed, and immediatly continue the target. Now, # either the target manages to step-over the watchpoint transparently, # and GDB thus fails to present to value change to the user, or, the # watchpoint will keep re-triggering, with the program never making # any progress. standard_testfile # No use testing this if we can't use hardware watchpoints. if {[target_info exists gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints]} { return -1 } if { [prepare_for_testing "failed to prepare" ${testfile} ${srcfile}] } { return -1 } if { ![runto_main] } then { fail "run to main" return } # Get the current PC.
