|
|
||
|
|
<p>As mentioned, a reader is essentially a shared object conforming to a
|
||
|
|
certain ABI. This ABI is described in <samp>jit-reader.h</samp>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><samp>jit-reader.h</samp> defines the structures, macros and functions
|
||
|
|
required to write a reader. It is installed (along with
|
||
|
|
<small>GDB</small>), in <samp><var>includedir</var>/gdb</samp> where <var>includedir</var> is
|
||
|
|
the system include directory.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Readers need to be released under a GPL compatible license. A reader
|
||
|
|
can be declared as released under such a license by placing the macro
|
||
|
|
<code>GDB_DECLARE_GPL_COMPATIBLE_READER</code> in a source file.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The entry point for readers is the symbol <code>gdb_init_reader</code>,
|
||
|
|
which is expected to be a function with the prototype
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-gdb_005finit_005freader"></a>
|
||
|

<div class="smallexample">

<pre class="smallexample">extern struct gdb_reader_funcs *gdb_init_reader (void);

<a name="index-struct-gdb_005freader_005ffuncs"></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>struct gdb_reader_funcs</code> contains a set of pointers to callback
|
||
|
|
functions. These functions are executed to read the debug info
|
||
|
|
generated by the JIT compiler (<code>read</code>), to unwind stack frames
|
||
|
|
(<code>unwind</code>) and to create canonical frame IDs
|
||
|
|
(<code>get_Frame_id</code>). It also has a callback that is called when the
|
||
|
|
reader is being unloaded (<code>destroy</code>). The struct looks like this
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

int reader_version;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* For use by the reader. */
|
||
|
|
void *priv_data;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gdb_read_debug_info *read;
|
||
|
|
gdb_unwind_frame *unwind;
|
||

gdb_get_frame_id *get_frame_id;

|

|
<a name="index-struct-gdb_005funwind_005fcallbacks"></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The callbacks are provided with another set of callbacks by
|
||
|
|
<small>GDB</small> to do their job. For <code>read</code>, these callbacks are
|
||
|
|
passed in a <code>struct gdb_symbol_callbacks</code> and for <code>unwind</code>
|
||
|
|
and <code>get_frame_id</code>, in a <code>struct gdb_unwind_callbacks</code>.
|
||
|
|
<code>struct gdb_symbol_callbacks</code> has callbacks to create new object
|
||
|
|
files and new symbol tables inside those object files. <code>struct
|
||
|
|
gdb_unwind_callbacks</code> has callbacks to read registers off the current
|
||
|
|
frame and to write out the values of the registers in the previous
|
||
|
|
frame. Both have a callback (<code>target_read</code>) to read bytes off the
|
||
|
|
target’s address space.
