644 don't represent pointers to functions as simply the address of
645 the function's entry point. For example, on the IA-64, a
646 function pointer points to a two-word descriptor, generated by
647 the linker, which contains the function's entry point, and the
648 value the IA-64 "global pointer" register should have --- to
649 support position-independent code. The linker generates
650 descriptors only for those functions whose addresses are taken.
652 On such targets, it's difficult for GDB to convert an arbitrary
653 function address into a function pointer; it has to either find
654 an existing descriptor for that function, or call malloc and
655 build its own. On some targets, it is impossible for GDB to
656 build a descriptor at all: the descriptor must contain a jump
657 instruction; data memory cannot be executed; and code memory
660 Upon entry to this function, if VAL is a value of type `function'
661 (that is, TYPE_CODE (VALUE_TYPE (val)) == TYPE_CODE_FUNC), then
662 VALUE_ADDRESS (val) is the address of the function. This is what
663 you'll get if you evaluate an expression like `main'. The call
664 to COERCE_ARRAY below actually does all the usual unary
665 conversions, which includes converting values of type `function'
666 to `pointer to function'. This is the challenging conversion
667 discussed above. Then, `unpack_long' will convert that pointer
668 back into an address.
670 So, suppose the user types `disassemble foo' on an architecture
671 with a strange function pointer representation, on which GDB
672 cannot build its own descriptors, and suppose further that `foo'
673 has no linker-built descriptor. The address->pointer conversion
674 will signal an error and prevent the command from running, even
675 though the next step would have been to convert the pointer
676 directly back into the same address.
678 The following shortcut avoids this whole mess. If VAL is a
679 function, just return its address directly. */

690 addresses (hence not need a pointer to address conversion) while
691 a small integer would still need to be converted integer to
692 pointer to address. Just assume such architectures handle all
693 integer conversions in a single function. */
697 I think INTEGER_TO_ADDRESS is a good idea as proposed --- but we
698 must admonish GDB hackers to make sure its behavior matches the
699 compiler's, whenever possible.
701 In general, I think GDB should evaluate expressions the same way
702 the compiler does. When the user copies an expression out of
703 their source code and hands it to a `print' command, they should
704 get the same value the compiler would have computed. Any
705 deviation from this rule can cause major confusion and annoyance,
706 and needs to be justified carefully. In other words, GDB doesn't
707 really have the freedom to do these conversions in clever and
710 AndrewC pointed out that users aren't complaining about how GDB
711 casts integers to pointers; they are complaining that they can't
712 take an address from a disassembly listing and give it to `x/i'.
713 This is certainly important.
715 Adding an architecture method like integer_to_address() certainly
716 makes it possible for GDB to "get it right" in all circumstances
717 --- the target has complete control over how things get done, so
718 people can Do The Right Thing for their target without breaking
719 anyone else. The standard doesn't specify how integers get
720 converted to pointers; usually, the ABI doesn't either, but
721 ABI-specific code is a more reasonable place to handle it. */
