Hi gdb community,
Greeting from me!
I am building the newest gdb 8.3 on OpenBSD 6.6 server (Virtual
machine, amd64). The build is OK, but the gdb will crash when I tried
to use it to debug program:

I tried to step-in debug it, and found it seems to access an invalid

I checked the source code, but can't figure out the reasons. Anyone
can give some clues? Thanks very much in advance!

The line where you are stopped at is nat/x86-dregs.c:608, which is:
status = x86_dr_low_get_status ();
x86_dr_low_get_status is actually a macro defined to:
#define x86_dr_low_get_status() (x86_dr_low.get_status ())
So try to print "x86_dr_low.get_status", I expected that we will see 0 / NULL.
This callback is probably supposed to get set in _initialize_x86_bsd_nat:
void
_initialize_x86_bsd_nat ()
{
#ifdef HAVE_PT_GETDBREGS
x86_dr_low.set_control = x86bsd_dr_set_control;
x86_dr_low.set_addr = x86bsd_dr_set_addr;
x86_dr_low.get_addr = x86bsd_dr_get_addr;
x86_dr_low.get_status = x86bsd_dr_get_status;
x86_dr_low.get_control = x86bsd_dr_get_control;
x86_set_debug_register_length (sizeof (void *));
#endif /* HAVE_PT_GETDBREGS */
}
However, this assignment is guarded by HAVE_PT_GETDBREGS. Could you look into
your gdb/config.h, what is the value of HAVE_PT_GETDBREGS? If it's indeed undef'ed,
can you look into your config.log, to see how configure came to the conclusion that
you don't have that feature?
It would also be good to confirm that this function (_initialize_x86_bsd_nat) is called
at startup like it's supposed to. This can be done by adding a printf in it, if you are
unable to use gdb on itself.

Hi Simon,
Thanks very much for your reply!
Yes, you are correct! After checking gdb/config.h, I found all ptrace
related macros are undefined:
/* Define if sys/ptrace.h defines the PTRACE_GETFPXREGS request. */
/* #undef HAVE_PTRACE_GETFPXREGS */
/* Define if sys/ptrace.h defines the PTRACE_GETREGS request. */
/* #undef HAVE_PTRACE_GETREGS */
/* Define to 1 if you have the <ptrace.h> header file. */
/* #undef HAVE_PTRACE_H */
/* Define if sys/ptrace.h defines the PT_GETDBREGS request. */
/* #undef HAVE_PT_GETDBREGS */
/* Define if sys/ptrace.h defines the PT_GETXMMREGS request. */
/* #undef HAVE_PT_GETXMMREGS */
I checked the header files, there is no /usr/include/ptrace.h. There
is /usr/include/sys/ptrace.h, but the real definitions (such as
PT_GETREGS, PT_SETREGS, etc) are in system related header files. E.g.,
in my OS, it is in /usr/include/amd64/ptrace.h. I checked OpenBSD's
gdb port (gdb 7.12.1, http://openports.se/devel/gdb), it seems I need
more tweak to make gdb work on OpenBSD, not as simple as just
"configure" and "make".
Anyway, thanks very much again for your time and help!
Best Regards
Nan Xiao

Ok, it would be nice if GDB worked, instead of crashed, with a simple ./configure && make on
OpenBSD. If you manage to make it work, please consider sending a patch so that other users
don't bump into this problem!
