Re: [PING][PATCH PR gdb/18071] TLS variables can't be resolved on aarch64-linux-gnu



On 11/2/2017 8:32 AM, Weimin Pan wrote:
Running the test case with upstream gdb shows two failures:

(1) Receiving different error messages when printing TLS variable before
     program runs - because the ARM compiler does not emit dwarf attribute
     DW_AT_location for TLS, the result is expected and the baseline may
     need to be changed for aarch64.

(2) Using "info address" command on C++ static TLS object resulted in
     "symbol unresolved" error - below is a snippet from the test case:

class K {
  public:
   static __thread int another_thread_local;
};

__thread int K::another_thread_local;

(gdb) info address K::another_thread_local
Symbol "K::another_thread_local" is unresolved.

This patch contains fix for (2).

Function info_address_command() handles the "info address" command and
calls lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile() to find sym's symbol entry in
mininal symbol table if SYMBOL_COMPUTED_OPS (sym) is false. Problem is
that function lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile() only looked up an
objfile's minsym ordinary hash table, not its demangled hash table, which
was the reason why the C++ name was not found.

The fix is to call lookup_minimal_symbol(), which already looks up entries
in both minsym's hash tables, to find names when traversing the object file
list in lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile().

Tested in both aarch64-linux-gnu and amd64-linux-gnu. No regressions.
