[[!tag open_issue_gdb]]
Here's what's to be done for maintaining GNU GDB.
[[!toc levels=2]]
# [[General information|/gdb]]
# [[Sources|source_repositories/gdb]]
# Configuration
Last reviewed up to the [[Git mirror's ea9812279fe436be9a010d07ef1dbe465199a3d7
(2011-09-07) sources|source_repositories/gdb]].
* Globally
* a.out, COFF, PE image support and 64 bit support are not interesting.
* In the testsuites, `.exp` and `.d` files very likely should not only
care for `*-*-linux*`, but also `*-*-gnu*`. (If the need to be
conditionalized like this at all.)
* `bfd/`
See [[binutils]].
* `libdecnumber/`
Should/can probably align to GNU/Linux.
* Have a look at config/i386/i386gnu.mh.
* configure.tgt
* glibc-tdep et al. also for GNU/Hurd?
* [[gdbserver]]
# Build
Here's a log of a GDB build run; this is from our [[Git repository's
695f61ff0f378e1680964128585044799de27015 (2011-09-06)
sources|source_repositories/gdb]], run on kepler.SCHWINGE and coulomb.SCHWINGE.
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ ../master/configure --prefix="$PWD".install SHELL=/bin/dash CC=gcc-4.6 CXX=g++-4.6 --disable-werror 2>&1 | tee log_build
[...]
$ make 2>&1 | tee log_build_
[...]
Different hosts may default to different shells and compiler versions; thus
harmonized.
There are several occurences of *error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will
break strict-aliasing rules* in the MIG-generated stub files; thus no `-Werror`
until that is resolved ([[strict_aliasing]]).
This takes up around 140 MiB and needs roughly 6 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 30
min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.
## Analysis
x86 GNU/Linux' and GNU/Hurd's configurations are slightly different, thus mask
out most of the differences that are due to GNU/Linux supporting more core file
formats and more emulation vectors.
$ ssh kepler.SCHWINGE 'cd tmp/source/gdb/ && cat hurd/master.build/log_build* | sed -e "s%\(/media/data\)\?${PWD}%[...]%g"' > toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/log_build
$ ssh coulomb.SCHWINGE 'cd tmp/gdb/ && cat hurd/master.build/log_build* | sed -e "s%\(/media/erich\)\?${PWD}%[...]%g"' > toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/log_build
$ diff -wu <(sed -f toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/log_build.sed < toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/log_build) <(sed -f toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/log_build.sed < toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/log_build) > toolchain/logs/gdb/log_build.diff
* Why do we specify `-D_GNU_SOURCE`, and GNU/Linux doesn't?
* Why does GNU/Linux have an additional `-ldl -rdynamic` when linking `gdb`?
# Install
$ make install 2>&1 | tee log_install
[...]
This takes up around 50 MiB, and needs roughly 1 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 3
min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.
## Analysis
$ ssh kepler.SCHWINGE 'cd tmp/source/gdb/ && cat hurd/master.build/log_install | sed -e "s%\(/media/data\)\?${PWD}%[...]%g"' > toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/log_install
$ ssh coulomb.SCHWINGE 'cd tmp/gdb/ && cat hurd/master.build/log_install | sed -e "s%\(/media/erich\)\?${PWD}%[...]%g"' > toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/log_install
$ diff -wu <(sed -f toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/log_install.sed < toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/log_install) <(sed -f toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/log_install.sed < toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/log_install) > toolchain/logs/gdb/log_install.diff
* `libtool: finish`: `ldconfig` is not run for the Hurd.
# Testsuite
On GNU/Hurd, hampered by the [[term_blocking]] issue.
$ make -k check
[...]
This needs roughly 45 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and TODO min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.
$ ssh kepler.SCHWINGE 'cd tmp/source/gdb/ && sed -e "s%\(/media/data\)\?${PWD}%[...]%g" < hurd/master.build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.sum' > toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/sum
$ ssh coulomb.SCHWINGE 'cd tmp/gdb/ && sed -e "s%\(/media/erich\)\?${PWD}%[...]%g" < hurd/master.build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.sum' > toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/sum
$ diff -u -F ^Running toolchain/logs/gdb/linux/sum toolchain/logs/gdb/hurd/sum > toolchain/logs/gdb/sum.diff
## Analysis
TODO.
