Re: RFA: Remove D10V-specific code from arch-independent modules


    From: Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

    The following patch removes the D10V-specific code from GDB's
    architecture-independent modules, and generally cleans up the D10V
    port.

    This patch has the following effect on the test suite results:
    - Fifteen failures become passes --- mostly in pointer.exp.
    - "gdb.base/long_long.exp: x/a &oct" used to pass, but now fails,
      because the test assumes that pointers are 32 bits long.  On the
      D10V, pointers are 16 bits long.
    - In gdb.base/overlays.exp, five passes become failures.  This is
      because the overlay tests for the D10V put unloaded overlays in
      memory the processor can't directly address.  It's possible to fix
      the test, but I didn't do this.

    So the results are not universally positive.  However, I still think
    this change should be committed because:
    - GDB and the target currently disagree on how long D10V pointers
      are.  This is a horrible kludge, which this patch removes.
    - As a direct consequence of that horrible kludge, we currently have
      D10V-specific code scattered throughout the supposedly
      machine-independent portions of GDB.  This patch segregates all
      D10V-specific code to d10v-tdep.c, and simplifies some fundamental
      functions.

    2001-06-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@redhat.com>

	    Clean up the D10V port so that GDB and the target program no
	    longer disagree on how big pointers are.
	    * findvar.c (value_from_register): Remove special case code for D10V.
	    * printcmd.c (print_frame_args): Same.
	    * valops.c (value_at, value_fetch_lazy): Same.
	    * values.c (unpack_long): Same.

The findvar.c, printcmd.c, valops.c, and values.c parts are approved.

	    * gdbarch.sh: Changes to effect the following:
	    * gdbarch.h (GDB_TARGET_IS_D10V, D10V_MAKE_DADDR,
	    gdbarch_d10v_make_daddr_ftype, gdbarch_d10v_make_daddr,
	    set_gdbarch_d10v_make_daddr, D10V_MAKE_IADDR,
	    gdbarch_d10v_make_iaddr_ftype, gdbarch_d10v_make_iaddr,
	    set_gdbarch_d10v_make_iaddr, D10V_DADDR_P,
	    gdbarch_d10v_daddr_p_ftype, gdbarch_d10v_daddr_p,
	    set_gdbarch_d10v_daddr_p, D10V_IADDR_P,
	    gdbarch_d10v_iaddr_p_ftype, gdbarch_d10v_iaddr_p,
	    set_gdbarch_d10v_iaddr_p, D10V_CONVERT_DADDR_TO_RAW,
	    gdbarch_d10v_convert_daddr_to_raw_ftype,
	    gdbarch_d10v_convert_daddr_to_raw,
	    set_gdbarch_d10v_convert_daddr_to_raw, D10V_CONVERT_IADDR_TO_RAW,
	    gdbarch_d10v_convert_iaddr_to_raw_ftype,
	    gdbarch_d10v_convert_iaddr_to_raw,
	    set_gdbarch_d10v_convert_iaddr_to_raw): Delete declarations.
	    * gdbarch.c: Delete the corresponding definitions.
	    (struct gdbarch): Delete members d10v_make_daddr,
	    d10v_make_iaddr, d10v_daddr_p, d10v_iaddr_p,
	    d10v_convert_daddr_to_raw, and d10v_convert_iaddr_to_raw.
	    (startup_gdbarch): Remove initializers for the above.
	    (verify_gdbarch, gdbarch_dump): Don't verify or dump them any
	    more.
	    * d10v-tdep.c (struct gdbarch_tdep): New member: `code_ptr_type'.
	    (d10v_register_virtual_type): Rather that claiming the stack
	    pointer and PC are 32 bits long (which they aren't), say that the
	    stack pointer is an int16_t, and the program counter is a function
	    pointer.  This allows the rest of GDB to make the appropriate
	    conversions between the code pointer format and real addresses.
	    And if code_ptr_type isn't initialized, do so here.
	    (d10v_register_convertible): Delete function; no registers are
	    convertible now, so we use generic_register_convertible_not instead.
	    (d10v_register_convert_to_virtual, d10v_register_convert_to_raw):
	    Report an internal error if these functions are ever called.
	    (d10v_address_to_pointer, d10v_pointer_to_address): New gdbarch
	    methods.
	    (d10v_frame_chain, d10v_frame_init_saved_regs, show_regs,
	    d10v_read_pc, d10v_write_pc, d10v_read_sp, d10v_write_sp,
	    d10v_write_fp, d10v_read_fp, d10v_push_return_address): Call the
	    (now static) functions d10v_make_daddr, d10v_make_iaddr,
	    d10v_convert_iaddr_to_raw, and d10v_convert_daddr_to_raw, not the
	    (now gone) global macros D10V_MAKE_DADDR, D10V_MAKE_IADDR,
	    D10V_CONVERT_IADDR_TO_RAW, and D10V_CONVERT_DADDR_TO_RAW.
	    (d10v_push_arguments, d10v_extract_return_value): Remove special
	    cases for code and data pointers.
	    (d10v_gdbarch_init): Set gdbarch_ptr_bit to 16, so that GDB and
	    the target agree on how large pointers are.  Say that addresses
	    are 32 bits long.  Register the address_to_pointer and
	    pointer_to_address conversion functions.  Since no registers are
	    convertible now, register generic_register_convertible_not as the
	    gdbarch_register_convertible method instead of
	    d10v_register_convertible.  Remove registrations for
	    gdbarch_d10v_make_daddr, gdbarch_d10v_make_iaddr,
	    gdbarch_d10v_daddr_p, gdbarch_d10v_iaddr_p,
	    gdbarch_d10v_convert_daddr_to_raw, and
	    gdbarch_d10v_convert_iaddr_to_raw.  Use memset to zero the
	    gdbarch_tdep structure.
