Set *addrp to the register offset hack (Otherwize something mysterious
fails. What? I don't remember).
Yes, findvar.c:value_of_register() and findvar.c:value_from_register()
use this. Worse, our whole value subsystem seems to rely on this.
Ughh, that's really gross. We should do something about that!
Anyway. Thinking about it a bit more, I suspect the whole handling of
REG_SAVED_REG is wrong. Instead, we should just change the register
number according to the DWARF CFI rule and let the unwinder for
NEXT_FRAME handle the request:
case REG_SAVED_REG:
regnum = DWARF2_REG_TO_REGNUM (cache->reg[regnum].loc.reg);
/* FALLTHROUGH */
case REG_UNMODIFIED:
frame_register_unwind (next_frame, regnum,
optimizedp, lvalp, addrp, realnump, valuep);
break;
Eventually this means that sentinel_frame_prev_register will provide
the register offset hack.
Do you agree with my analysis?
