I'm not so sure. Here's the interaction:


(gdb) print &main
$1 = (<data variable, no debug info> *) 0x104e5a60
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 2 at 0x100895d0
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/cagney/PENDING/YYYY-MM-DD-target-convert-func/64/gdb/stripped.gdb
...
Breakpoint 2, 0x00000000100895d0 in .main ()
(gdb)


(I've yet to figure out why GDB keeps reporting those breakpoints).

Oops, lost the message. GDB sometimes prints:


Breakpoint 2 at 0x100895d0

which, I think is from GDB doing a "if breakpoint.one_addr != breakpoint.second_addr then print message" comparison everytime a shared library breakpoint is hit.

Notice how "main" is in the data space yet GDB set a code space breakpoint (and even stopped on a different symbol). Might as well notify the user of this adjustment.


Okay, I see your point. This is surprising enough to merit a warning.

Attached is a much simplified patch. Ok?

	* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_gdbarch_init): For 64-bit ABI, set
	adjust_breakpoint_address.
	* Makefile.in (ppc-sysv-tdep.o): Add $(target_h).
	* ppc-tdep.h (ppc64_sysv_abi_adjust_breakpoint_address): Declare.
	* ppc-sysv-tdep.c: Include "target.h".  Update copyright.
	(ppc64_sysv_abi_adjust_breakpoint_address): New function.
