sunday project, gdb, 2003-08-02


. Highlights of this report

  gdb gdb_6_0-branch still suffers from 'backtrace through sleep'
  and other backtrace bugs.  Except for that, all the test suite results
  are at least as healthy as gdb 5.3.

  gcc gcc-3_3-branch continues to have healthy debug information:
  no changes since last report, no regressions from gcc 3.3.
  But I cover only native i686-pc-linux-gnu with dwarf-2 and stabs+.
  I am looking forward happily to gcc 3.3.1!

  There is a long-standing problem (not a regression) with line number
  information for very tiny functions.  I filed PR gcc/1313 about it.
  It is low priority, but when we get some cycles, it will help cure the
  regressions with gcc HEAD.  At this point I cannot even say if gdb or
  gcc needs to change.

  The new tests gdb.base/annota3.exp and gdb.c++/annota3.exp had some
  FAIL results, but nothing that indicates a new bug in gdb.

        Andrew C wrote a new test script.

        The tests 'send SIGUSR1' and 'backtrace @ signal handler' FAILed
        with gcc HEAD, both -gdwarf-2 and -gstabs+.  These tests PASSed
        with all other versions of gcc.  These are manifestations of PR
        gdb/1313.

          http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs/1313
          bad line numbers on very tiny functions

        The bug is related to the line number table for the signal
        handler, which is an empty function.  It is not related to
        signals or to annotations.  The bug also happens with gdb 5.3 so
        it is not a regression from 5.3.

        Andrew C wrote a new test script.

        I did not investigate these in detail.  Judging from the name
        of the test, 'annotate-quit' is probably a manifestation of
        PR gdb/544.

        The KFAIL with 'watch triggered on a.x' is probably a

        These tests are sensitive to a backtrace bug in gdb.  If a
        thread is waiting on 'select', then gdb prints a deficient
        backtrace, and the test FAILs.

        A multi-threaded inferior program tickles a known bug in

        Andrew C wrote a new test script.

        The 'annotate ignore count change' test FAILed in 3
        configurations out of 34 tested.  I re-ran the test script, and
        this test FAILed in 3 configurations out of 34 tested -- but the
        set of FAILed configurations was different!

        The gdb.log transcript is byte-for-byte identical for the
        pertinent section, comparing one of the FAILed runs and one of
        the PASSed runs.

        Also, gdb.base/annota3.exp and gdb.base/annota3.c are identical
        in gdb gdb_6_0-branch and gdb HEAD, but this FAIL happened only
        in gdb HEAD.

        gdb is okay, and the test script is probably okay, but it looks
        like this test is tickling a tcl/expect/dejagnu bug.

        The 'send SIGUSR1' and 'backtrace @ signal handler' results have
        the same analysis as gdb gdb_6_0-branch.

        Michael C made some incremental improvements to the test script
        for native red hat linux 8, which does not support thread local
        storage.  Now there are no more ERROR results.

. Test Matrix

  target     => native
  host       => i686-pc-linux-gnu
  osversion  => red-hat-8.0
  gdb        => 5.3, gdb_6_0-branch, HEAD
  gcc        => 2.95.3, 3.2-7-rh, 3.3, gcc-3_3-branch, HEAD
  binutils   => 2.13.90.0.2-rh, 2.14, binutils-2_14-branch, HEAD
  glibc      => 2.2.93-5-rh
  gformat    => dwarf-2, stabs+
  glevel     => 2
  count         102 = 1 * 1 * 1 * 3 * (4*4+1*1) * 1 * 2 * 1

  'target' and 'host' are gnu configuration triples.

  'osversion' is the host operating system name, which is additional
  information beyond 'host'.

  'gdb', 'gcc', 'binutils', and 'glibc' are version names.

  versions starting with a digit are official releases or snapshots.
  versions starting with a digit and ending with '-rh' are
    vendor-supplied official releases on my red hat linux host.
  versions named 'HEAD' are the cvs HEAD, also known as 'mainline' or 'trunk'.
  versions with any other name are cvs branches.

  'gformat' is the debugging information format.
  'glevel' is the debugging level.

  'count' is the total number of configurations tested.
  The vendor gcc is available only with vendor binutils,
    thus the '(4*4+1*1)' term for gcc/binutils combinations.

. Host Software

  . host=i686-pc-linux-gnu, osversion=red-hat-8.0

    make 3.79.1
    binutils 2.14
    gcc 3.3
    flex 2.5.4
    bison 1.875
    tcl 8.4.3
    expect 5.38.0
    dejagnu 1.4.3

  The sources.redhat.com cvs repository has its own versions of tcl,
  expect, and dejagnu.  I don't have the resources to test with both
  tcl/expect/dejagnu stacks, so I choose the stock stack for my test
  bed.
  
  The sources.redhat.com version of tcl is nearly identical to tcl
  8.4.1.  The sources.redhat.com version of expect dates from
  1998-06-15.  The sources.redhat.com version of dejagnu is nearly
  identical to dejagnu 1.4.3.

  I have packaged and published my scripts to manage the baseline
  software.  They are called Migchain (Michael's Gnu Toolchain) and
  Migbat (Michael's Build and Test), and they are licensed under the
  GPL.

. Test Bed Changes Since Last Report

  I changed the location of the directory where I run the gdb tests.
  A few weeks ago I changed the name to have a $UUID in it
  (unique universal identifier), so that I could locate it in /tmp.
  The $UUID turned out to cause some noise in the result tables so I
  reverted to name with no $UUID in it, which means it can't live in
  /tmp anymore (the /tmp/...-$UIID option is still there, but it's
  disabled).
