"make check-sim" doesn't work because it cannot detect a suitable assembler/compiler. This is what I'm repeatedly pinging but there's no response. At least, it's worth it to track here. Patch: <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-August/191564.html> <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-September/191843.html> (ping 2) <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-September/191997.html> (ping 3) I first reproduced this on riscv64-unknown-elf but talking with aarch64-unknown-elf will be better since AArch64 has decent number of tests (in contrast to 1 from RISC-V). [How to reproduce] 1. Configure Binutils with aarch64-unknown-elf and build it /src/binutils/configure --target=aarch64-unknown-elf && make 2. Run `make check-sim' and confirmed that the simulator tests "pass" 3. Intentionally try to fail the test by modifying `sim/testsuite/aarch64/pass.s' (replace the last line from "pass" to "fail") 4. Run `make check-sim' and "confirmed" that the simulator tests "pass" (it should fail!) [Analysis] ... Yes, something is going wrong. After the test, you can see the test log in `sim/testsuite/aarch64/allinsn/testrun.log' (example: attached testrun.1.log). We clearly find that the test runner didn't find recently built assembler (gas/as-new). That assembler (and the linker) is supposed to be used because the simulator itself (sim/Makefile) sets its configuration (see attached site.exp, generated by sim/Makefile). At last, we find `sim/testsuite/lib/sim-defs.exp'. In the `sim_init_toolchain' function, it extracts {AS,LD,CC}_FOR_TARGET_AARCH64 and sets proper {AS,LD,CC}_FOR_TARGET. At least, it is supposed to do so. However, this block doesn't work because the `arch' variable returned by the `sim_arch' function is "./aarch64". That is supposed to be "aarch64". [Fix: Cause and Patch Details] `sim_arch' function is simple. Until the dirname part of the "arch" is not "." (current directory), it trims the filename part. For instance, if subdir is "A/B/C/D", this function returns "A". However, if subdir is "./A/B/C/D", this function returns "./A", not "A". In fact, actual subdir value here is "./aarch64" and we will get "./aarch64" for [sim_arch]. As a result, it fails to extract proper assembler/linker/compiler for given target. To deal with it, I added another "file tail" function call before returning. After this patch, `sim/testsuite/aarch64/allinsn/testrun.log' will look like attached testrun.2.log. We can confirm that the assembler is detected and "expectedly" fail (because we intentionally broke a testcase). Of course, fixing a testcase will make a success (see attached testrun.3.log). [My status] I completed copyright assignment of GDB to FSF in August 2022 and I'm now even a "write after approval" committer. If a maintainer gives me an approval, I can commit it in a day. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
