Just patch default_memory_remove_breakpoint in gdb/mem-break.c so that it: * Temporarily sets show_memory_breakpoints. * Uses target_read_memory to fetch the data from inferior. * Compares the read in bytes with what gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc returns and if it does not match it prints some warning and prevents the current call of target_write_raw_memory with shadow_contents. * Restores show_memory_breakpoints (see make_show_memory_breakpoints_cleanup). And it should be configurable as it will be a performance hit primarily with remote targets. See also several *-tdep.c files using set_gdbarch_memory_remove_breakpoint as they have something more specific than default_memory_remove_breakpoint. > Why does my program in assembler > does not overwrite the bytes of software breakpoint? * GDB inserts breakpoint: * GDB saves original (old) instruction. * GDB writes there breakpoint * Your code overwrites the breakpoint by new instruction. * GDB removes breakpoint: * GDB writes there the original (old) instruction. - Your new instruction is lost. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
