README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.

This test case verifies that GDB will not attempt to invoke a python
unwinder recursively.
At the moment, the behavior exhibited by GDB looks like this:
(gdb) source py-recurse-unwind.py
Python script imported
(gdb) b ccc
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004bd: file py-recurse-unwind.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: py-recurse-unwind
TestUnwinder: Recursion detected - returning early.
TestUnwinder: Recursion detected - returning early.
TestUnwinder: Recursion detected - returning early.
TestUnwinder: Recursion detected - returning early.
Breakpoint 1, ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
23 }
(gdb) bt
#-1 ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
[I've shortened pathnames for easier reading.]
The desired / expected behavior looks like this:
(gdb) source py-recurse-unwind.py
Python script imported
(gdb) b ccc
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004bd: file py-recurse-unwind.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: py-recurse-unwind
Breakpoint 1, ccc (arg=789) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
23 }
(gdb) bt
#0 ccc (arg=789) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
#1 0x00000000004004d5 in bbb (arg=456) at py-recurse-unwind.c:28
#2 0x00000000004004ed in aaa (arg=123) at py-recurse-unwind.c:34
#3 0x00000000004004fe in main () at py-recurse-unwind.c:40
Note that GDB's problems go well beyond the fact that it invokes the
unwinder recursively. In the process it messes up some internal state
(the frame stash) leading to display of (only) the sentinel frame in
the backtrace.
