34 /* This structure maintains information on a per-objfile basis about the
35 "entry point" of the objfile, and the scope within which the entry point
36 exists. It is possible that gdb will see more than one objfile that is
37 executable, each with its own entry point.
39 For example, for dynamically linked executables in SVR4, the dynamic linker
40 code is contained within the shared C library, which is actually executable
41 and is run by the kernel first when an exec is done of a user executable
42 that is dynamically linked. The dynamic linker within the shared C library
43 then maps in the various program segments in the user executable and jumps
44 to the user executable's recorded entry point, as if the call had been made
45 directly by the kernel.
47 The traditional gdb method of using this info was to use the
48 recorded entry point to set the entry-file's lowpc and highpc from
49 the debugging information, where these values are the starting
50 address (inclusive) and ending address (exclusive) of the
51 instruction space in the executable which correspond to the
52 "startup file", i.e. crt0.o in most cases. This file is assumed to
53 be a startup file and frames with pc's inside it are treated as
54 nonexistent. Setting these variables is necessary so that
55 backtraces do not fly off the bottom of the stack.
57 NOTE: cagney/2003-09-09: It turns out that this "traditional"
58 method doesn't work. Corinna writes: ``It turns out that the call
59 to test for "inside entry file" destroys a meaningful backtrace
60 under some conditions. E.g. the backtrace tests in the asm-source
61 testcase are broken for some targets. In this test the functions
62 are all implemented as part of one file and the testcase is not
63 necessarily linked with a start file (depending on the target).
64 What happens is, that the first frame is printed normaly and
65 following frames are treated as being inside the enttry file then.
66 This way, only the #0 frame is printed in the backtrace output.''
67 Ref "frame.c" "NOTE: vinschen/2003-04-01".
69 Gdb also supports an alternate method to avoid running off the bottom
72 There are two frames that are "special", the frame for the function
73 containing the process entry point, since it has no predecessor frame,
74 and the frame for the function containing the user code entry point
75 (the main() function), since all the predecessor frames are for the
76 process startup code. Since we have no guarantee that the linked
77 in startup modules have any debugging information that gdb can use,
78 we need to avoid following frame pointers back into frames that might
79 have been built in the startup code, as we might get hopelessly
80 confused. However, we almost always have debugging information
83 These variables are used to save the range of PC values which are
84 valid within the main() function and within the function containing
85 the process entry point. If we always consider the frame for
86 main() as the outermost frame when debugging user code, and the
87 frame for the process entry point function as the outermost frame
88 when debugging startup code, then all we have to do is have
89 DEPRECATED_FRAME_CHAIN_VALID return false whenever a frame's
90 current PC is within the range specified by these variables. In
91 essence, we set "ceilings" in the frame chain beyond which we will
92 not proceed when following the frame chain back up the stack.
94 A nice side effect is that we can still debug startup code without
95 running off the end of the frame chain, assuming that we have usable
96 debugging information in the startup modules, and if we choose to not
97 use the block at main, or can't find it for some reason, everything
98 still works as before. And if we have no startup code debugging
99 information but we do have usable information for main(), backtraces
100 from user code don't go wandering off into the startup code. */

607 - The trick to not clearing OBJFILE on a "break;" is, in the outer
