Re: MIPS 64 bit addressing query

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I upgraded the debugger to gdb6.6 but
still seeing the same problem. I searched the newsgroup and found a
related thread

http://www.ecos.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2006-10/msg00088.html

I checked mips-tdep.c where the function
set_gdbarch_integer_to_address uses mips_integer_to_address which sign
extends the 32 bit value. From the above thread it is suggested to use
unsigned integer extension. However I am still trying to find where
the zero extended address[bpt->address] is coming from.

Thank you
Vinod.
