Big-endian targets: Don't ignore offset into DW_OP_stack_value
Recently I fixed a bug that caused a DW_OP_implicit_pointer with non-zero offset into a DW_OP_implicit_value to be handled incorrectly on big-endian targets. GDB ignored the offset and copied the wrong bytes: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-01/msg00251.html But there is still a similar issue when a DW_OP_implicit_pointer points into a DW_OP_stack_value instead; and again, the offset is ignored. There is an important difference, though: While implicit values are treated like blocks of data and anchored at the lowest-addressed byte, stack values traditionally contain integer numbers and are anchored at the *least significant* byte. Also, stack values do not come in varying sizes, but are cut down appropriately when used. Thus, on big-endian targets the scenario looks like this (higher addresses shown right): |<- - - - - Stack value - - - - - - ->| | | |<- original object ->| | | offset ->|####| ^^^^ de-referenced implicit pointer (Note how the original object's size influences the position of the de-referenced implicit pointer within the stack value. This is not the case for little-endian targets, where the original object starts at offset zero within the stack value.) This patch implements the logic indicated in the above diagram and adds an appropriate test case. A new function dwarf2_fetch_die_type_sect_off is added; it is used for retrieving the original object's type, so its size can be determined. That type is passed to dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full via a new parameter. gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2loc.c (indirect_synthetic_pointer): Get data type of pointed-to DIE and pass it to dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full. (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full): New parameter subobj_type; rename byte_offset to subobj_byte_offset. Fix the handling of DWARF_VALUE_STACK on big-endian targets when coming via an implicit pointer. (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc): Adjust call to dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full. * dwarf2loc.h (dwarf2_fetch_die_type_sect_off): New declaration. * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_fetch_die_type_sect_off): New function. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * lib/dwarf.exp: Add support for DW_OP_implicit_pointer. * gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: Add test for stack value location and implicit pointer into such a location.
