Hi all,

This patch is a small change that will enable vector register visibility when AIX FOLKS do core file analysis.

Kindly check the outputs with the patch and without the patch. Changes are visible in bold for the output with patch.

Since we now support vector register contents debugging, we have added the below architecture. That is all the change.
-   bfd_mach_rs6k, &tdesc_rs6000},
+   bfd_mach_rs6k, &tdesc_powerpc_vsx32},

Let me know if there are any changes. If not kindly push the same.

Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks and regards,
Aditya,

Sorry, this is wrong - it will enable those sections unconditionally
across all platforms and operating systems.

Instead, you need to implement a function
rs6000_aix_core_read_description
that will determine the correct tdesc to use for any particular
core file depending on the sections that are actually present there.

You can see e.g. ppc_linux_core_read_description for
examples how to implement this routine.

Bye,
Ulrich

Kindly check in this patch.. It is a simple check to see for aix-vmx or vsx presence in a bfd file. And then we return the required target desc.

Sorry, this is wrong - it will enable those sections unconditionally
across all platforms and operating systems.

Instead, you need to implement a function
rs6000_aix_core_read_description
that will determine the correct tdesc to use for any particular
core file depending on the sections that are actually present there.

You can see e.g. ppc_linux_core_read_description for
examples how to implement this routine.

Bye,
Ulrich

analyse the core file.

The function looks reasonable, but it's in the wrong file -
you still install it unconditionally on all operating systems.

Instead, this function should go to rs6000-aix-tdep.c (next
to rs6000_aix_iterate_over_regset_sections) and should be
installed from rs6000_aix_init_osabi.

Hi Ulrich and community,

Please find attached the patch.

>you still install it unconditionally on all operating systems.

This is done. Kindly check it out. I have pasted both 64 bit and 32 bit core file outputs below. It works alright. Thank you for the guidance.

So I always thought rs6000-tdep.c is only used by AIX. Just for my knowledge kindly let me know who else is using it? Is it powerpc Linux folks? And is the rs600-tdep file is common to both of us. This will be useful for me if ever I need to do any change in the future.

Kindly push this if there are no more changes required from your end. If there are, then let me know.

Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks and regards,
Aditya.

The function looks reasonable, but it's in the wrong file -
you still install it unconditionally on all operating systems.

Instead, this function should go to rs6000-aix-tdep.c (next
to rs6000_aix_iterate_over_regset_sections) and should be
installed from rs6000_aix_init_osabi.

This is OK, I've checked the patch in now.  Thanks!

The rs6000-tdep.c file is used on *all* PowerPC targets (every target
that starts with rs6000- or powerpc*-).  This includes AIX and Linux,
but also various BSDs and others.

If you want to find out which tdep file is used for which targets,
you can check the configure.tgt file.  You will see the rs6000-tdep.o
file listed in the "gdb_target_obs" variable for all those targets.

Bye,
Ulrich

I see the same when building with --enable-targets=all.

I sent a patch for this.  I think it ought to work in any configuration
but perhaps someone else ought to check.

Your patch LGTM.   Thanks for the quick fix and sorry for the breakage.
