           Summary: Virtual base class botch
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mi
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dj170590@hotmail.com


Hello,

First of all I'd like to say I do use a library (SystemC and TLM)and alot of
classes in it use virtual inherintance. So I cannot ignore the virtual
inheritance. My program uses GDB MI and it really depends on SystemC/TLM so I
can hardly make a program which can construct the realy problem, but i try to
explain the bug I think it is.

When I do use "-var-list-children --all-values VARNAME" on a var where VARNAME
is of an object derived from 2 class in a particular order everything goes
ok(like Example01), but when a switch them I get a virtual base class botch so
I think it's a bug?
Example 01 Everything is ok:

class CPU: public tlm_bw_transport_if<>, public sc_module
{
public:
    tlm_initiator_socket<> socket;

    SC_CTOR(CPU): //constructor 
    socket("CPUSocketNAME")
    {
        socket.bind(*this);
    }
    virtual ~CPU(){} //Destructor
//.......
//....... etc
};

tlm_bw_transport_if is out of the TLM source and this class is declared as:
template <typename TYPES = tlm_base_protocol_types>
class tlm_bw_transport_if
  : public virtual tlm_bw_nonblocking_transport_if<typename
TYPES::tlm_payload_type,
                                                   typename
TYPES::tlm_phase_type>
  , public virtual tlm_bw_direct_mem_if
{};

And those base classes are inherited from some other virtual base classes etc.

With this example it goed wrong:
class CPU: public sc_module, public tlm_bw_transport_if<>
{
public:
    tlm_initiator_socket<> socket;

    SC_CTOR(CPU): //constructor 
    socket("CPUSocketNAME")
    {
        socket.bind(*this);
    }
    virtual ~CPU(){} //Destructor
//.......
//....... etc
};

void main()
{
   CPU cpu01("myCPU");
}

The think my program does is setting a breakpoint in the sc_module constructor
So that's the point my program stays when I do try to get the varname where the
CPU object is stored in(that's cpu01). When I do have it, I use the command 
"-var-list-children --all-values VARNAME" to get all the base classes of CPU
object cpu. But when i try this in the first example everything is OK and I can
get the base classes of tlm_bw_transport_if<>, but when I use the GDB MI
command with example 2 on the variabele it sais "virtual base class botch"

var01 is a gdb variabele on cpu01.
the gdb command I use, is like "-var-list-children --all-values
var01.tlm::tlm_fw_transport_if<tlm::tlm_base_protocol_types>"

I hope I am clear about the problem and you can understand the problem. Sorry
if my english or explaination is a bit bad.
