- Subject: [RFA] 2nd send: Solve the watchpoint failures on second run.
I got no answer to that RFA,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2002-06/msg00394.html
thus I send it again.
This bug is related to bug 515 of database.
The following note:
>(This patch, together with the previous RFA that I sent today,
>fixes the problem for both statically and dynamically linked
>programs).
Can be modified into:
The following patch together with the patch commited
on july 4. 2002
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-cvs/2002-07/msg00036.html
fiwes bug 515 both for statically and dynamically linked programs.
If you use my previous patch and compile the test program
of the 515 bug with --static option,
you will still miss the change of x value on the second run.
This comes from the fact that the val field of the watchpoint is
not reset correctly when the program is restarted.
I first tried to fix this problem by using evaluate_expression
in the breakpoint_init_inferior function. But, while this fixes the problem for
the win32 native debugger, it leads to problems for linux,
beacuse the program is not yet loaded into memory
when this function is called: instead, the bash used for launch the debuggee
seems to be in memory...
So the only way I found to fix that error was to reset val field to NULL
so that the val field is computed again
correctly at the first insert_breakpoint call.

* breakpoint.c (breakpoint_init_inferior): Reset the val field of
watchpoints to NULL.
(insert_breakpoints): set val field of watchpoints if NULL.
