Subject: [PATCH v4 4/6] GDB: Only make data actually retrieved into value history available
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 14:19:32 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.2302092322390.7841@tpp.orcam.me.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.20.2302092205020.7841@tpp.orcam.me.uk>

While it makes sense to allow accessing out-of-bounds elements in the 
debuggee and see whatever there might happen to be there in memory (we 
are a debugger and not a programming rules enforcement facility and we 
want to make people's life easier in chasing bugs), e.g.:

  (gdb) print one_hundred[-1]
  $1 = 0
  (gdb) print one_hundred[100]
  $2 = 0
  (gdb) 

we shouldn't really pretend that we have any meaningful data around 
values recorded in history (what these commands really retrieve are 
current debuggee memory contents outside the original data accessed, 
really confusing in my opinion).  Mark values recorded in history as 
such then and verify accesses to be in-range for them:

  (gdb) print one_hundred[-1]
  $1 = <unavailable>
  (gdb) print one_hundred[100]
  $2 = <unavailable>

Add a suitable test case, which also covers integer overflows in data 
location calculation.
---
Changes from v3:

- Do not mark ranges outside values put in the value history unavailable.  
  Instead annotate values as placed in the value history and verify ranges 
  explicitly at access time for them.  Remove all previous additions for 
  range handling.

Changes from v2:

- Correct the copyright year in new files.

New change in v2.
