I just go a little further, and found that there is a function to look
up a file name in symbol tables.
struct symtab * lookup_symtab (const char *name)
the parameter name is the user supplied file name string to set a
breakpoint.
This function will loop all the symbols and do a string match.
symtab_to_fullname() is used to read symbol's filename, it was defined
in the gdb/source.c line 1110
char *
symtab_to_fullname (struct symtab *s)
{
int r;
if (!s)
return NULL;
/* Don't check s->fullname here, the file could have been
deleted/moved/..., look for it again. */
r = find_and_open_source (s->filename, s->dirname, &s->fullname);
if (r >= 0)
{
close (r);
return s->fullname;
}
return NULL;
}
When loop on the symbols. I found that at one loop, I get
s->filename = "../../src/common/string.cpp"
s->dirname = "D:\code\wxWidgets-2.8.12\build\msw"
But too badly, the result
s->fullname =
"D:\code\wxWidgets-2.8.12\build\msw/../../src/common/string.cpp"
This is the reason about the issue, if the result is:
"D:\code\wxWidgets-2.8.12/src/common/string.cpp"
Then, this problem can be fixed.
I'm not sure why gdb does not give a cannical filename, but still leaves
the "../../" in the result.
By the way, gdb's matching algorithm care both "/" and "\" as equivalent
char under Windows.
Look at here: gdb\libiberty\filename_cmp.c
int
filename_cmp (const char *s1, const char *s2)
{
#ifndef HAVE_DOS_BASED_FILE_SYSTEM
return strcmp(s1, s2);
#else
for (;;)
{
int c1 = TOLOWER (*s1);
int c2 = TOLOWER (*s2);
/* On DOS-based file systems, the '/' and the '\' are equivalent. */
if (c1 == '/')
c1 = '\\';
if (c2 == '/')
c2 = '\\';
if (c1 != c2)
return (c1 - c2);
if (c1 == '\0')
return 0;
s1++;
s2++;
}
#endif
}
