23/* This structure maintains information on a per-objfile basis about the
24 "entry point" of the objfile, and the scope within which the entry point
25 exists. It is possible that gdb will see more than one objfile that is
054308ad 26 executable, each with its own entry point.
5e2e79f8
FF
27
28 For example, for dynamically linked executables in SVR4, the dynamic linker
29 code is contained within the shared C library, which is actually executable
30 and is run by the kernel first when an exec is done of a user executable
31 that is dynamically linked. The dynamic linker within the shared C library
32 then maps in the various program segments in the user executable and jumps
33 to the user executable's recorded entry point, as if the call had been made
34 directly by the kernel.
35
36 The traditional gdb method of using this info is to use the recorded entry
37 point to set the variables entry_file_lowpc and entry_file_highpc from
38 the debugging information, where these values are the starting address
39 (inclusive) and ending address (exclusive) of the instruction space in the
40 executable which correspond to the "startup file", I.E. crt0.o in most
41 cases. This file is assumed to be a startup file and frames with pc's
42 inside it are treated as nonexistent. Setting these variables is necessary
470dfa0c 43 so that backtraces do not fly off the bottom of the stack.
5e2e79f8 44
470dfa0c 45 Gdb also supports an alternate method to avoid running off the bottom
5e2e79f8
FF
46 of the stack.
47
48 There are two frames that are "special", the frame for the function
49 containing the process entry point, since it has no predecessor frame,
50 and the frame for the function containing the user code entry point
51 (the main() function), since all the predecessor frames are for the
52 process startup code. Since we have no guarantee that the linked
53 in startup modules have any debugging information that gdb can use,
54 we need to avoid following frame pointers back into frames that might
55 have been built in the startup code, as we might get hopelessly
56 confused. However, we almost always have debugging information
57 available for main().
58
59 These variables are used to save the range of PC values which are valid
60 within the main() function and within the function containing the process
61 entry point. If we always consider the frame for main() as the outermost
62 frame when debugging user code, and the frame for the process entry
63 point function as the outermost frame when debugging startup code, then
64 all we have to do is have FRAME_CHAIN_VALID return false whenever a
65 frame's current PC is within the range specified by these variables.
66 In essence, we set "ceilings" in the frame chain beyond which we will
67 not proceed when following the frame chain back up the stack.
68
69 A nice side effect is that we can still debug startup code without
70 running off the end of the frame chain, assuming that we have usable
71 debugging information in the startup modules, and if we choose to not
72 use the block at main, or can't find it for some reason, everything
73 still works as before. And if we have no startup code debugging
74 information but we do have usable information for main(), backtraces
75 from user code don't go wandering off into the startup code.
76
77 To use this method, define your FRAME_CHAIN_VALID macro like:
78
79 #define FRAME_CHAIN_VALID(chain, thisframe) \
80 (chain != 0 \
81 && !(inside_main_func ((thisframe)->pc)) \
82 && !(inside_entry_func ((thisframe)->pc)))
83
84 and add initializations of the four scope controlling variables inside
85 the object file / debugging information processing modules. */
