Re: H8300 Patch - Fix GDB crash problem when object file of differentH8 cpu is loaded


Hi,

Currently if you are debugging one object and load another object of different H8 CPU then the GDB crashes in h8300_register_name() saying "invalid register number". This is because in gdbarch_init we are returning existing gdbarch but the globals h8300hmode, h8300smode, etc. are not set again corresponding to newly loaded object.

The patch below initializes these globals before returning existing gdbarch.

Unfortunatly this isn't the right way to go. Because it is now possible for GDB can have more than one active architecture, code that rely on global state can no longer work. The globals:


> +      h8300_normal_mode = 0;
> +      h8300sxmode = 0;
> +      h8300smode = 0;
> +      h8300hmode = 0;

will need to be eliminated. Looking at your patch it doesn't look too bad. Given h8300smode, I'd replace it with a function vis:

int
h8300smode (struct gdbarch *gdbarch)
{
  return gdbarch_bfd_arch_info (current_gdbarch)->mach == bfd_mach_h8300s
}

and called:
	
	if (h8300smode (current_gdbarch))
