[Bug gdb/16696] New: AIX 32-bit cores, high section addresses.


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16696

            Bug ID: 16696
           Summary: AIX 32-bit cores, high section addresses.
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.7
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: palves at redhat dot com

GDB fails to find the memory for variables in 32-bit AIX cores when the program
had the corresponding segment mapped at a high addresses (>= 0x80000000).

E.g.:

 (gdb) p &__n_pthreads
 $2 = (<data variable, no debug info> *) 0xf074fda8 <__n_pthreads>
 (gdb) p __n_pthreads
 $1 = -1

That should have returned 2 instead of -1.  

(-1 is the value the variable has in the executable)
