27 /* How do we represent a source location? I mean, how should we
28 represent them within GDB; the user wants to use all sorts of
29 ambiguous abbreviations, like "break 32" and "break foo.c:32"
30 ("foo.c" may have been #included into several compilation units),
31 but what do we disambiguate those things to?
32
33 - Answer 1: "Filename and line number." (Or column number, if
34 you're picky.) That's not quite good enough. For example, the
35 same source file can be #included into several different
36 compilation units --- which #inclusion do you mean?
37
38 - Answer 2: "Compilation unit, filename, and line number." This is
39 a pretty good answer; GDB's `struct symtab_and_line' basically
40 embodies this representation. But it's still ambiguous; what if a
41 given compilation unit #includes the same file twice --- how can I
42 set a breakpoint on line 12 of the fifth #inclusion of "foo.c"?
43
44 - Answer 3: "Compilation unit, chain of #inclusions, and line
45 number." This is analogous to the way GCC reports errors in
46 #include files:
47
48 $ gcc -c base.c
49 In file included from header2.h:8,
50 from header1.h:3,
51 from base.c:5:
52 header3.h:1: parse error before ')' token
53 $
54
55 GCC tells you exactly what path of #inclusions led you to the
56 problem. It gives you complete information, in a way that the
57 following would not:
58
59 $ gcc -c base.c
60 header3.h:1: parse error before ')' token
61 $
62
63 Converting all of GDB to use this is a big task, and I'm not really
64 suggesting it should be a priority. But this module's whole
65 purpose is to maintain structures describing the macro expansion
66 process, so I think it's appropriate for us to take a little care
67 to do that in a complete fashion.
68
69 In this interface, the first line of a file is numbered 1, not 0.
70 This is the same convention the rest of GDB uses. */

73 /* A table of all the macro definitions for a given compilation unit. */
74 struct macro_table;
75
76 /* The definition of a single macro. */
77 struct macro_definition;
78
79 /* A source file that participated in a compilation unit --- either a
80 main file, or an #included file. If a file is #included more than
81 once, the presence of the `included_from' and `included_at_line'
82 members means that we need to make one instance of this structure
83 for each #inclusion. Taken as a group, these structures form a
84 tree mapping the #inclusions that contributed to the compilation
85 unit, with the main source file as its root.
86
87 Beware --- not every source file mentioned in a compilation unit's
88 symtab structures will appear in the #inclusion tree! As of Oct
89 2002, GCC does record the effect of #line directives in the source
90 line info, but not in macro info. This means that GDB's symtabs
91 (built from the former, among other things) may mention filenames
92 that the #inclusion tree (built from the latter) doesn't have any
93 record of. See macroscope.c:sal_macro_scope for how to accomodate
94 this.
95
96 It's worth noting that libcpp has a simpler way of representing all
97 this, which we should consider switching to. It might even be
98 suitable for ordinary non-macro line number info.
99
100 Suppose you take your main source file, and after each line
101 containing an #include directive you insert the text of the
102 #included file. The result is a big file that pretty much
103 corresponds to the full text the compiler's going to see. There's
104 a one-to-one correspondence between lines in the big file and
105 per-inclusion lines in the source files. (Obviously, #include
106 directives that are #if'd out don't count. And you'll need to
107 append a newline to any file that doesn't end in one, to avoid
108 splicing the last #included line with the next line of the
109 #including file.)
110
111 Libcpp calls line numbers in this big imaginary file "logical line
112 numbers", and has a data structure called a "line map" that can map
113 logical line numbers onto actual source filenames and line numbers,
114 and also tell you the chain of #inclusions responsible for any
115 particular logical line number. Basically, this means you can pass
116 around a single line number and some kind of "compilation unit"
117 object and you get nice, unambiguous source code locations that
118 distinguish between multiple #inclusions of the same file, etc.
119
120 Pretty neat, huh? */
