break jmisc.main

break jmisc.main

[David Carlton]

Here's the scoop with the FAILs on "break jmisc.main" and "break
jmisc.main(java.lang.String[]))".

1) For "break jmisc.main", decode_line_1 calls decode_compound (which
   handles C++ and Java compound data structures).  That notices that
   there is a class calles 'jmisc', and then looks for a member in it
   called 'main'.

   Unfortunately, GDB thinks the member in question is called
   'jmisc.main(java.lang.String[])' instead of just 'main': the debug
   info says:

	.long	.LC2	# DW_AT_name: "jmisc.main(java.lang.String[])"

   Sigh.  GCJ should get fixed.

2) For "break jmisc.main(java.lang.String[])", decode_compound gets
   bypassed, and decode_variable gets called, looking for a symbol of
   that name.  Unfortunately, it doesn't find one: the symbol that it
   finds is called something strange like
   "jmisc::main(Jaray<java::lang::String*>*)".  (I'm pretty sure
   that's right, though I'd have to check this at home to be sure;
   that's what c++filt demangles the name to.)

   Something weird is going on here; at first, I'd assumed this was a
   bug in cplus_demangle, but c++filt -s java gets the name demangled
   correctly.  So my guess is that, somewhere, a demangler is getting
   called in a situation where the symbol isn't yet identified as a
   Java symbol, so the C++ demangler gets used.  Do the minsym readers
   reliably know the language of the minsyms they're creating?  If
   not, then we could be getting the bad value there and caching it
   with the new demangling code, so the bad value remains when the
   symbol table is setting the symbol's name.

So, we have two things to do: submit a bug report to the GCJ people,
and track down where the symbol name is getting demangled
incorrectly.  (And a third thing: convince somebody who knows more
about GCJ to become GDB's Java maintainer.)

To be specific, in prim_record_minimal_symbol_and_info, we see:

  SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (msymbol) = language_auto;
  SYMBOL_SET_NAMES (msymbol, (char *)name, strlen (name), objfile);

Oops.

Do you know if this actually broke with my caching patch, or if it was
broken before?  I checked, and nowhere in GDB do we ever set the
demangling style to Java.  Not that I could find, at least.

FYI, if you "set demangle-style java" and then "file ./jmisc", this
test passes.  I really don't know what we can do about it.  My
instincts tell me that we need to either:
 - not demangle at all until we know the language; doesn't help for
stabs anyway
 - transform between the Java and C++ demanglings.  Converting from the
C++ output to the Java output looks doable, although exceedingly
annoying:
    - different names for some types (bool vs boolean, char vs wchar_t)
    - All '*' characters are removed
    - JArray<TYPE> becomes TYPE[].
  (That's an exhaustive list.)
  Going the other way, Java -> C++, would probably be impossible
  because of the removed '*'s.
 - Re-demangle if we discover that the symbol is a Java symbol. 
Ewwwwww.

Never mind, I've found where it happened; there was an explicit
DMGL_JAVA.

The dates that Michael gave for the regression make that quite likely.

Right now, symbol_find_demangled_name says:

  if (gsymbol->language == language_java)
    {
      demangled =
        cplus_demangle (mangled,
                        DMGL_PARAMS | DMGL_ANSI | DMGL_JAVA);
      if (demangled != NULL)
	{
	  gsymbol->language = language_java;
	  return demangled;
	}
    }

There was a similar case in whatever it replaced.

Is there any way for the minsym readers to guess the language based on
a file name, or something like that?

Getting that to work well doesn't sound much fun at all to me.  If
there were a Java maintainer to help, I'd be willing to chip this in,
but I'd really rather now.

> Ewwwwww.

Ewwww indeed.  As a temporary solution, though, we could modify
symbol_set_names and friends to use a different cache to store Java
demangled names.  (Well, use the same cache, but if the current
symbol's language is Java then to lookup ##JAVA##demangled_name
instead of just demangled_name, or something like that.)  The minsyms
will still have the wrong names, but that must always have been
broken.  And it means that Java code won't be able to share memory
between names of partial symbols and names of minimal symbols; given
the absence of a Java maintainer, I don't care about that in the
slightest.

I'll think about this, but if there's no easy way to get a good guess
at the current language when building minimal symbol tables, I suppose
I'll reluctantly take a stab at the temporary solution.

There's no way.  Minsyms are read at the objfile granularity; Java can
(does) occur at the compilation unit granularity.

Actually, it wasn't so bad: Daniel did a good job of making the new
symbol name initialization functions modular, so I only had to touch
one of them.  Here's a patch that might work; it doesn't cause any
non-Java regressions, but this machine doesn't have gcj 3.2 on it, so
I have no idea if it actually fixes the problem.  I'll try to test it
tonight when I get home, but if anybody reading this wants to test it
before then, that would be great.  The symtab.h part is purely
cosmetic: just apply the symtab.c part, if you don't want to have to
recompile every file that depends on symtab.h.

Hmm, I like this in principle.  Could it have a more prominent FIXME on
it though?  It's really not a good long term solution.  We shouldn't
need both demangled copies... or if we do, then perhaps both should be
associated with the minsym.

Sure, will do.

Well, this would be another argument in favor of coalescing minimal
symbols and partial symbols (and possibly even regular symbols) into a
single data structure: it might make it a possible to update incorrect
information like this.

Yes, I agree that this is the way to go.  Particularly, once we've read
a symtab in we should never need the corresponding psymtab again.  Of
course, there are more partial symbols than minimal symbols; and
symbols take more memory than partial symbols.  So it's not trivial.

By the way, I noticed something very interesting today.  SGI apparently
had DWARF-2 extensions including a .debug_typenames section (and var,
func, weak names) to expand upon the concept of .debug_pubnames.  We
could make GCC generate those and then use them to build psymtabs, I
bet.  That would speed up load time a lot.

Oh well, something else for the List.

You also convert `::' to `.'.

In Java there are only a small number of primitive types, and
references.  If it isn't a primitive type, it is a reference and you
add a `*'.  So I think it should be possible.

Thanks a lot for looking at this.

I really don't know anything about debug info.  How should this read?

In the above `jmisc' is just a class.  However, `java.lang' is a
namespace.  In the past at least there wasn't namespace support in
gdb...?

Should be `JArray', but other than that it looks ok.

gcj uses the same mangling as C++.  That is an important part of the
whole "CNI" approach to writing native methods -- you can just write
them in C++ with basically zero overhead.

I don't think there is any way to tell a Java symbol from a C++
symbol.  Which one you want to use depends more on context -- if I'm
debugging the Java code, I like to see the Java symbols.  If I'm
debugging the C++ code, it is probably more convenient to see the C++
form.  Likewise for entering breakpoints and the like.

I would love for anybody to become an active gdb/java maintainer.
The only inducement I have is the future possibility of a cool gcj
t-shirt (assuming I ever print more).  That plus gratitude.

Still isn't, but David is making great progress on that front.

The field should probably read just "main".  Try readelf -wi on a C++
binary to see what GDB expects.

My testbed says that this worked in gdb HEAD on 2003-02-01 and failed
