From 6e46637421cc7318c3a1333e32725eaca5f7af4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 23:41:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Don't infer IRIX OS ABI from generic section names There are `.MIPS.abiflags', `.MIPS.options' and `.MIPS.stubs' sections also present in Linux executables, so we can't infer IRIX OS ABI solely from the existence of these sections. This is not going to be a problem as there are bound to be other sections whose names start with `.MIPS.' in IRIX executables and this selection only matters for a non-default OS ABI in a multiple-target GDB executable. As a last resort the automatic selection can be overridden with `set osabi'. * mips-irix-tdep.c (mips_irix_elf_osabi_sniff_abi_tag_sections): Exclude `.MIPS.abiflags', `.MIPS.options' and `.MIPS.stubs' from the list of sections determining GDB_OSABI_IRIX. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 6 ++++++ gdb/mips-irix-tdep.c | 16 ++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 5ce1ec1..afb1f92 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +2014-09-09 Maciej W.
