# How to add to gdbarch:
#
# There are four kinds of fields in gdbarch:
#
# * Info - you should never need this; it is only for things that are
# copied directly from the gdbarch_info.
#
# * Value - a variable.
#
# * Function - a function pointer.
#
# * Method - a function pointer, but the function takes a gdbarch as
# its first parameter.
#
# You construct a new one with a call to one of those functions.  So,
# for instance, you can use the function named "Value" to make a new
# Value.
#
# All parameters are keyword-only.  This is done to help catch typos.
#
# Some parameters are shared among all types (including Info):
#
# * "name" - required, the name of the field.
#
# * "type" - required, the type of the field.  For functions and
# methods, this is the return type.
#
# * "printer" - an expression to turn this field into a 'const char
# *'.  This is used for dumping.  The string must live long enough to
# be passed to printf.
#
# Value, Function, and Method share some more parameters.  Some of
# these work in conjunction in a somewhat complicated way, so they are
# described in a separate sub-section below.
#
# * "comment" - a comment that's written to the .h file.  Please
# always use this.  (It isn't currently a required option for
# historical reasons.)
#
# * "predicate" - a boolean, if True then a _p predicate function will
# be generated.  The predicate will use the generic validation
# function for the field.  See below.
#
# * "predefault", "postdefault", and "invalid" - These are used for
# the initialization and verification steps:
#
# A gdbarch is zero-initialized.  Then, if a field has a "predefault",
# the field is set to that value.  This becomes the field's initial
# value.
#
# After initialization is complete (that is, after the tdep code has a
# chance to change the settings), the post-initialization step is
# done.
#
# If the field still has its initial value (see above), and the field
# has a "postdefault", then the field is set to this value.
#
# After the possible "postdefault" assignment, validation is
# performed for fields that don't have a "predicate".
#
# If the field has an "invalid" attribute with a string value, then
# this string is the expression that should evaluate to true when the
# field is invalid.
#
# Otherwise, if "invalid" is True (the default), then the generic
# validation function is used: the field is considered invalid it
# still contains its default value.  This validation is what is used
# within the _p predicate function if the field has "predicate" set to
# True.
#
# Function and Method share:
#
# * "params" - required, a tuple of tuples.  Each inner tuple is a
# pair of the form (TYPE, NAME), where TYPE is the type of this
# argument, and NAME is the name.  Note that while the names could be
# auto-generated, this approach lets the "comment" field refer to
# arguments in a nicer way.  It is also just nicer for users.
#
# * "param_checks" - optional, a list of strings.  Each string is an
# expression that is placed within a gdb_assert before the call is
# made to the Function/Method implementation.  Each expression is
# something that should be true, and it is expected that the
# expression will make use of the parameters named in 'params' (though
# this is not required).
#
# * "result_checks" - optional, a list of strings.  Each string is an
# expression that is placed within a gdb_assert after the call to the
# Function/Method implementation.  Within each expression the variable
# 'result' can be used to reference the result of the function/method
# implementation.  The 'result_checks' can only be used if the 'type'
# of this Function/Method is not 'void'.
#
# * "implement" - optional, a boolean.  If True (the default), a
# wrapper function for this function will be emitted.

For most targets, a pointer on the target and its representation as an
address in GDB have the same size and "look the same".  For such a
target, you need only set gdbarch_ptr_bit and gdbarch_addr_bit
/ addr_bit will be set from it.

If gdbarch_ptr_bit and gdbarch_addr_bit are different, you'll probably
also need to set gdbarch_dwarf2_addr_size, gdbarch_pointer_to_address and
gdbarch_address_to_pointer as well.

dwarf2_addr_size is the target address size as used in the Dwarf debug
info.  For .debug_frame FDEs, this is supposed to be the target address
size from the associated CU header, and which is equivalent to the
DWARF2_ADDR_SIZE as defined by the target specific GCC back-end.
Unfortunately there is no good way to determine this value.  Therefore
dwarf2_addr_size simply defaults to the target pointer size.

dwarf2_addr_size is not used for .eh_frame FDEs, which are generally
defined using the target's pointer size so far.

Note that dwarf2_addr_size only needs to be redefined by a target if the
GCC back-end defines a DWARF2_ADDR_SIZE other than the target pointer size,
and if Dwarf versions < 4 need to be supported.

Fix up the state after attempting to single-step a displaced
instruction, to give the result we would have gotten from stepping the
instruction in its original location.

REGS is the register state resulting from single-stepping the
displaced instruction.

CLOSURE is the result from the matching call to
gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn.

FROM is the address where the instruction was original located, TO is
the address of the displaced buffer where the instruction was copied
to for stepping.

COMPLETED_P is true if GDB stopped as a result of the requested step
having completed (e.g. the inferior stopped with SIGTRAP), otherwise
COMPLETED_P is false and GDB stopped for some other reason.  In the
case where a single instruction is expanded to multiple replacement
instructions for stepping then it may be necessary to read the current
program counter from REGS in order to decide how far through the
series of replacement instructions the inferior got before stopping,
this may impact what will need fixing up in this function.

Function used to handle a "special case" in the parser.

A "special case" is considered to be an unknown token, i.e., a token
that the parser does not know how to parse.  A good example of special
case would be ARM's register displacement syntax:

[R0, #4]  ;; displacing R0 by 4

Since the parser assumes that a register displacement is of the form:

<number> <indirection_prefix> <register_name> <indirection_suffix>

it means that it will not be able to recognize and parse this odd syntax.
Therefore, we should add a special case function that will handle this token.

This function should generate the proper expression form of the expression
using GDB's internal expression mechanism (e.g., `write_exp_elt_opcode'
and so on).  It should also return 1 if the parsing was successful, or zero
if the token was not recognized as a special token (in this case, returning
zero means that the special parser is deferring the parsing to the generic
parser), and should advance the buffer pointer (p->arg).

Perform arch-dependent adjustments to a register name.

In very specific situations, it may be necessary for the register
name present in a SystemTap probe's argument to be handled in a
special way.  For example, on i386, GCC may over-optimize the
register allocation and use smaller registers than necessary.  In
such cases, the client that is reading and evaluating the SystemTap
probe (ourselves) will need to actually fetch values from the wider
version of the register in question.

To illustrate the example, consider the following probe argument
(i386):

4@%ax

This argument says that its value can be found at the %ax register,
which is a 16-bit register.  However, the argument's prefix says
that its type is "uint32_t", which is 32-bit in size.  Therefore, in
this case, GDB should actually fetch the probe's value from register
%eax, not %ax.  In this scenario, this function would actually
replace the register name from %ax to %eax.

The rationale for this can be found at PR breakpoints/24541.

On some targets, even though each inferior has its own private
address space, the debug interface takes care of making breakpoints
visible to all address spaces automatically.  For such cases,
this property should be set to true.

If non-empty, this is a file extension that will be opened in place
of the file extension reported by the shared library list.

This is most useful for toolchains that use a post-linker tool,

compared to the names of the files GDB should load for debug info.
