580 don't represent pointers to functions as simply the address of
581 the function's entry point. For example, on the IA-64, a
582 function pointer points to a two-word descriptor, generated by
583 the linker, which contains the function's entry point, and the
584 value the IA-64 "global pointer" register should have --- to
585 support position-independent code. The linker generates
586 descriptors only for those functions whose addresses are taken.
588 On such targets, it's difficult for GDB to convert an arbitrary
589 function address into a function pointer; it has to either find
590 an existing descriptor for that function, or call malloc and
591 build its own. On some targets, it is impossible for GDB to
592 build a descriptor at all: the descriptor must contain a jump
593 instruction; data memory cannot be executed; and code memory
596 Upon entry to this function, if VAL is a value of type `function'
597 (that is, TYPE_CODE (VALUE_TYPE (val)) == TYPE_CODE_FUNC), then
598 VALUE_ADDRESS (val) is the address of the function. This is what
599 you'll get if you evaluate an expression like `main'. The call
600 to COERCE_ARRAY below actually does all the usual unary
601 conversions, which includes converting values of type `function'
602 to `pointer to function'. This is the challenging conversion
603 discussed above. Then, `unpack_long' will convert that pointer
604 back into an address.
606 So, suppose the user types `disassemble foo' on an architecture
607 with a strange function pointer representation, on which GDB
608 cannot build its own descriptors, and suppose further that `foo'
609 has no linker-built descriptor. The address->pointer conversion
610 will signal an error and prevent the command from running, even
611 though the next step would have been to convert the pointer
612 directly back into the same address.
614 The following shortcut avoids this whole mess. If VAL is a
615 function, just return its address directly. */

626 addresses (hence not need a pointer to address conversion) while
627 a small integer would still need to be converted integer to
628 pointer to address. Just assume such architectures handle all
629 integer conversions in a single function. */
633 I think INTEGER_TO_ADDRESS is a good idea as proposed --- but we
634 must admonish GDB hackers to make sure its behavior matches the
635 compiler's, whenever possible.
637 In general, I think GDB should evaluate expressions the same way
638 the compiler does. When the user copies an expression out of
639 their source code and hands it to a `print' command, they should
640 get the same value the compiler would have computed. Any
641 deviation from this rule can cause major confusion and annoyance,
642 and needs to be justified carefully. In other words, GDB doesn't
643 really have the freedom to do these conversions in clever and
646 AndrewC pointed out that users aren't complaining about how GDB
647 casts integers to pointers; they are complaining that they can't
648 take an address from a disassembly listing and give it to `x/i'.
649 This is certainly important.
651 Adding an architecture method like INTEGER_TO_ADDRESS certainly
652 makes it possible for GDB to "get it right" in all circumstances
653 --- the target has complete control over how things get done, so
654 people can Do The Right Thing for their target without breaking
655 anyone else. The standard doesn't specify how integers get
656 converted to pointers; usually, the ABI doesn't either, but
657 ABI-specific code is a more reasonable place to handle it. */
