ChangeLog   [plain text]


2006-04-21 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_frame.c: Initialized local to 0, wrong value.
        Thanks to Cristi Vlasceanu for noticing.
2006-04-18 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * All *.c: Ran indent so all c files follow a standard look.
2006-04-16 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf.h: Remove #if 0 around some #defines, it is ok to 
        leave the defines visible (the defines are HP extensions).
      * libdwarf.h: Add new dwarf3 interface to frames.
        (which actually is also a better interface to dwarf2 info,
        not strictly for dwarf3).
      * dwarf_alloc.c: Add 'constructor/destructor' pointers 
        to the initialization table so we can handle a more 
        flexible (dwarf3) frame interface.Call the functions 
        at the appropriate times.
      * dwarf_frame.c: Using macro FDE_NULL_CHECKS_AND_SET_DBG 
        reduce duplicate coding.Internal code now handles dwarf2 
        and dwarf3 and interfaces to exported interfaces appropriately.
      * dwarf_frame.h: Alter internal struct to handle frames more flexibly.
      * dwarf_frame2.c: Remove unused local variable.
      * dwarf_init_finish.c: Add initialization of new Dwarf_Debug 
        struct entries allowing handling
        of run-time-config of frame info.
      * dwarf_loc.c: Add DWARF3 operators, such as DW_OP_call4.
      * dwarf_opaque.h: Declaration of new Dwarf_Debug struct 
        entries allowing handling of run-time-config of frame info.
      * pro_expr.c: Add entries allowing creation of DWARF3 DW_OP 
        such as call2. 
      * pro_section.c: Change crucial code handling section lengths, 
        using a macro BEGIN_LEN_SIZE to clarify and correct a few places.
2006-03-31 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * libdwarf.h: Added dwarf_get_fde_info_for_cfa_reg3() prototype
        preparing for dwarf3 frame interface.
      * dwarf_frame.c: Now uses separate rule, not DW_FRAME_CFA_COL, 
        to record CFA.
      * dwarf_frame.h: Add commentary on frame access.
2006-03-30 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * Makefile.in configure.in: Adding --enable-shared --enable-nonshared
        --disable-shared  and --disable-nonshared.
      * configure: regenerated with 2.59 autoconf.
      * README: Added explanation on changing dwarf.h libdwarf.h.
2006-03-29 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_print_lines.c dwarf_sort_line.c: Clean up initialization
        code for line table reading. When returning rules table
        data to caller ensure fully filled out yet no overrun
        (handling case where rules table sizes not defined identically
        by caller and library).
      * dwarf.h: New commentary on ABI/register-number issues.
      * libdwarf.h: New commentary on ABI/register-number issues.
2006-03-26 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_line.c: file_entry_count local was not initialized.
        Initialized some locals at declaration.
        Thanks to Mikael Vidstedt for noticing.
2006-03-23 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_error.c: added error strings for codes 200,201
      * dwarf_line.c dwarf_line.h dwarf_print_lines.c dwarf_sort_line.c: Moved
        line prefix reading to a common routine, filling in a new internal
        struct to make it simple.  Removed much duplicate code.
        Added more support for dwarf3 line table standard opcodes.
        Now prints details (with -v -v) of standard opcodes it
        does not understand (if any present).

      * dwarf_frame.c: Remove erroneous load_sections calls (wrong for eh_frame
        data) and correct the new dwarf_get_fde_augmentation_data() and
        dwarf_get_cie_augmentation_data() implementation.
      * dwarf_frame2.c: Implement support for GNU eh_frame.
      * dwarf_line.h: Correct handling of DWARF3 opcode base check.

      * dwarf.h: Updated to match DWARF3 public review document.
    
2005-10-03 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_alloc.c: Change some entries to BASE_ALLOC.
      * dwarf_global.h: Add argument to interface so we do not

      * dwarf_funcs.c, dwarf_global.c, dwarf_weaks.c,
        dwarf_funcs.c, dwarf_types.c: Restored use of DW_DLA_*

2005-07-14 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_line.c: Added dwarf_srclines_dealloc and call it
        for dwarf_srclines output.  Does complete deallocation,
        unlike previous method, which was incomplete deallocation.
        Thanks to Alan Alexander for pointing out there was
        incomplete deallocation.
      * dwarf_print_lines.c: remove references and allocation

        variable.
      * libdwarf2.1.mm: Document new dwarf_srclines_dealloc()
        deallocation routine for dwarf_srclines().

2005-07-13 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_init_finish.c (dwarf_init): if _dwarf_setup() fails,
        free elf resources with elf_end() call.
        Thanks to Cristi Vlasceanu for pointing out that a memory
        leak existed here.

2005-06-13 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_frame.c (_dwarf_exec_frame_instr): Corrected test
        so that .o files (pre-relocation) are less likely to generate

	for better readability.
2005-04-13 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_error.c: Error  codes 194 and 195 were missing
	strings, added them to table. 
      * dwarf_frame.c: Check for newer gcc .eh_frame
          augmentation strings and avoid trying to handle these
          for now.
      * dwarf_global.c: Add an error check for
          pubnames-style sections for bad offset.
      * dwarf_init_finish.c: Add dwarf_get_section_max_offsets()
          to allow clients to do additional error checking.
          This code will have to change again, so leaving it
          undocumented. As written it's not useful for COMDAT
          style DWARF sections.
      * libdwarf.h: Added prototype for dwarf_get_section_max_offsets().

2005-03-31 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * mips_extensions.mm: Documented  the libexc/.debug_funcnames
        dependency and the 64bit-offset DWARF extension.

        error code 195.
      * dwarf_init_finish.c: Corrected comment spelling. 
      * dwarf_frame.h dwarf_frame.c: Added handling for 
        much (but not all) of gcc 3.3 gcc 3.4 .eh_frame
	'z' augmentation.  Gives error on attempting
        to get z augmentation data since such is not
        completely handled.

2005-03-18 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_frame.h dwarf_frame.c: The gcc .eh_frame
        info did not print correctly so we now access the
	correct section data so it prints. Still no support
	for dwarf3 frame operators.
      * dwarf_macro.c: Detect end-of-macros properly
        (stopped too soon before).
	
2005-02-14 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * pro_incl.h: Added #elif defined(HAVE_LIBELF_H)
        enabling build on a platform missing normal elf.h.

		version numbers (DWARF3 vs DWARF2) by DWARF section.

2004-11-21 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
     *  configure.in libdwarfdefs.h: Now tests more precisely for __uint32_t
	and __uint64_t (previous test was not sufficient for debian/mips). 
	Regenerated configure config.h.in.

2004-10-28 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>

      * configure config.h.in: regenerated with autoconf 2.58.

2004-06-09  David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_frame.c (_dwarf_exec_frame_instr):
        Was not setting ru_offset to 1 in DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset 
        case, now it does.

2004-02-24  David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_frame.c (_dwarf_exec_frame_instr):
        DW_CFA_def_cfa_register case, was setting offset, which
        is incorrect. Thanks to Tom Hughes <thh@cyberscience.com>
        for pointing this out.

2004-02-03 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_util.h:  DECODE_LEB128_UWORD DECODE_LEB128_SWORD
        were simply wrong if  Dwarf_Word or
        Dwarf_Sword longer than 4 bytes. Upper bits left random. 
        Large values not extracted correctly.

2004-01-15 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_alloc.c pro_alloc.c pro_init.c: changing BSD-ish bzero()
 	to posix-standard memset() calls.
      * configure.in: remove bstring.h test, add alloca.h test.
        No longer useing bzero, some environments have alloca 
	in malloc.h, no alloca.h.  If neither exist
        it's up to you to deal with it.
      * dwarf_line.c dwarf_print_lines.c dwarf_sort_line.c: Test
	HAVE_ALLOCA_H

      * acconfig.h: Updated copyright date.
      * config.guess config.sub: new versions from automake-1.6.
      * config.h.in configure: Regenerated.

2003-12-15 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_init_finish.c (_dwarf_setup): test for (section_size)
        was wrong for eh_frame section. Changed this one to
	(section_size == 0) so it is like all the others testing 
	section_size.  Thanks to David Mosberger 
	for pointing out this inconsistency.

2003-12-08 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_line.h: reference in comment to li_dbg meant to
        refer to li_offset. Corrected and amplified comment.

      * libdwarf2.1.mm: Documented dwarf_loclist_n() and
        updated documentation on dwarf_loclist().

2003-09-29 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_abbrev.c: Ensure the .debug_abbrev section is loaded.
      * dwarf_arange.c dwarf_global.c: Recent dwarf committee 
    	discussions have revealed we were wrong in not allowing 
	padding in aranges.
      * dwarf_die_deliv.c dwarf_query.c: handle DW_FORM_indirect.
      * dwarf_form.c: Add dwarf_whatform_direct() so folks
	can report on DW_FORM_indirect use.
	Fill in new Dwarf_Locdesc fields.
      * dwarf_loc.c: Handle .debug_loc  partially.
	Fill in new Dwarf_Locdesc fields.
	Load .debug_loc if not present and if it's needed.
      * dwarf_opaque.h: Added ar_attribute_form_direct field
  	so we can report DW_FORM_indirect
	in libdwarf-using code (where such wants to).
      * dwarf_util.c: Don't confuse DW_FORM_indirect uleb length 
	with other lengths.
      * libdwarf2.1.mm: Document new function dwarf_whatform_direct()

2003-04-15 Brian Ford <ford@vss.fsi.com>
      * configure.in (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Move after AC_PROG_CC so a proper
        working compiler is used for the test.

2003-01-21 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_die_deliv.c (dwarf_next_cu_header, dwarf_offdie):
	Add calls to dwarf_load_object() to load .debug_info, 
        .debug_abbrev
      * dwarf_init_finish.c (_dwarf_setup): Remove calls to
        dwarf_load_object for .debug_info, .debug_abbrev sections.
      * dwarf_opaque.h: Add new fields to Dwarf_Debug so
        we don't need to pre-load .debug_info, .debug_abbrev
      * dwarf_util.h: Fix READ_AREA_LENGTH macro so it uses
        only length itself to determine which format the
        length is.

2003-01-14 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_loc.c: Made comment at head of dwarf_loclist()
      a bit clearer.

      * dwarf_macro.c: Corrected bugs in macro-info functions.

2002-10-29 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_init_finish.c: The libelf_sgi mods
      left a HAVE_ELF64_GETSHDR ifdef in the wrong place 
      so folks without Elf64 could not build. Fixed.

2002-10-21 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_form.c: the form_ref functions were failing to
      add in cc_extension_size when checking for offset
      legality. Thanks to Kelly O'Hair <kelly.ohair@sun.com>
      for pointing out the 4 places this was wrong.
      Used cu_context local pointer to avoid numerous
      double indirections.

2002-08-14 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_string.c (dwarf_get_str): Return
      DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY when offset is just at the end of the
      sections, making it possible to use dwarf_get_str
      to print the section independently.
      * libdwarf2.1.mm, libdwarf2.1.ps: Document the
      revised dwarf_get_str interface (which was not
      fully thought thru before).
      * dwarf_line.c (dwarf_srcfiles): Avoid core dump
      when DW_AT_comp_dir absent (it's not required).


2002-07-31 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * pro_types.c (_dwarf_transform_simplename_to_disk): correct
      generation of .debug_info size field.
      Thanks to Kelly O'Hair <kelly.ohair@sun.com> for pointing out
      the bug.

2002-05-23 Daniel Gohman <gohmandj@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_init_finish.c: Add support for using SGI's
      ELF library as an alternative to using AT&T-style
      libelf.
      Add a new function _dwarf_load_section to handle
      loading of sections.
      * dwarf_opaque.h: Add entries to Dwarf_Debug_s to
      store section indicies.
      * most consumer files: Load sections on demand so
      that unneeded sections don't get loaded.
      * dwarf_init_finish.c: Fixed an incorrect check for
      duplicate .eh_frame sections.

2002-04-25 Kelly O'Hair <kelly.ohair@sun.com>
      * pro_section.c (_dwarf_pro_generate_debuginfo): add
      required dwarf2 sec 7.5.3 trailing null byte 
      to .debug_abbrev per compilation-unit.

2002-03-31 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_abbref.c (dwarf_get_abbrev): change 
      DW_DLE_DEBUG_ABBREV_NULL to DW_DLE_DWARF_ABBREV_NULL. 
      Former was wrong code.
      * libdwarf2.1.mm: correct argument reference, returned_abbrev
      not returned_fde in dwarf_get_abbrev discussion.
      
2002-03-07 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * libdwarf.h: added struct Elf declaration
      to reduce dependency on header include ordering. 

2002-02-11 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * libdwarf2.1.mm libdwarf2.1.ps:
      dwarf_offdie can return DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY and that
      is now documented.
      * dwarf_loc.c: if the length of a location description
      is zero that is ok, not an error. dwarf2 sec 2.4.1.

2002-01-10 David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_opaque.h, dwarf_init_finish.c: if libdwarf does
      the elf_begin() it must also do the elf_end() to
      avoid a memory leak, and now does this correctly.

2002-01-10  David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
      * dwarf_init_finish.c:  Using a variable to
      hold ELF_C_READ_MMAP.  Really motivated by
      code not added to this source. 
      * dwarf_die_deliv.c: Added comments, moved
      a couple variables to local scope from function scope.

      * dwarf.h: Added some #defines which were specified in the Dwarf
      2.1 Dwarf draft 5 (now called dwarf 3 draft 5).

2001-09-18  David Anderson davea@sgi.com
	* all files: applied gnu indent with
	-bad -bap -nbbo -br -ce -brs 
	-l72  -lc72  -hnl  -nprs  
	-fca -i4  -lp -psl -npcs 
	Code should use this set in libdwarf.


2001-08-21  "kelly o'hair" <kelly.ohair@eng.sun.com>
	* pro_section.c:  If one called dwarf_add_file_decl()
	  or dwarf_add_directory_decl() but never added a line,
	  .debug_line was not produced.  This was a mistake,
	  as if any file or directory was provided .debug_line
	  should be produced. 

2001-08-06  davea@sgi.com
	* libdwarf2.1.mm: documented dwarf_dealloc rules
	  more clearly. (.ps updated too)
	* mips_extensions.mm: documented the way SGI
	  gets frame stack pointer out of debug_frame.
	  (.ps updated too)

2001-06-14  davea@sgi.com
	* dwarf_leb.c: changed around where bytes counted in
	  _dwarf_decode_s_leb128 so it's easier to tell it is correct.
	  And removed one loop completely: it was
	  an early attempt at performance improvement and
	  is no longer relevant.

	* dwarf_global.c: added new 
	  dwarf_get_cu_die_offset_given_cu_header_offset function
	  to get CU die offset (as the long name says).
	  A variety of functions return cu-header-offsets, so
	  this is useful at times.
	  Used locals to reduce the number of indirections
	  and make things easier to follow.

	* dwarf_arange.c: added new dwarf_get_arange_cu_header_offset
	  function so dwarfdump could print the cu header offset
	  (which appears in the arange headers).

	* libdwarf2.1.mm: documented the above new functions.

2001-06-07  davea@sgi.com
	* dwarf_leb.c: shift operator was not being applied
	  to full size of Dwarf_Signed/Unsigned for 64bit
	  Dwarf_Signed/Unsigned (ILP32 compile) so
	  large numbers not decoded if signed.
	* pro_encode_nm.c: added {} in a couple if/else
          for 'clarity' and to make inserting debug printf easier.
	* pro_expr.c: Added comments explaining why possible
	  compiler (gcc) warnings are ok, the result is safe. 

2001-05-30  davea@sgi.com
	* pro_reloc_stream.c: Wrote Set_REL32_info and 
	  Set_REL64_info macros
	  from generic ELF abi documents to make use acceptable
	  when IRIX elfaccess.h is not available.

2001-05-30  "kelly o'hair" <kelly.ohair@eng.sun.com>
	* Makefile.in: was missing   pro_macinfo.o
 	  pro_encode_nm.o dwarf_macro.o from the OBJS list.

2001-05-22  davea@sgi.com
	* dwarf_frame.c, pro_expr.c: Added comments on why
	  casts are safe in spite of gcc warnings (4 places total).

2001-05-18  Dan Gritter <dgritter@us.ibm.com>
	* dwarf_loc.c DW_OP_bregx operands are unsigned
	  reg num followed by signed offset.

2001-04-11  David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>
	* dwarf_die_deliv.c: check for 0 abbreviation code
	  and return a 'no entry' return value when found.
	  (normal dwarf2, 0 means no DIE, the end of some set of DIEs.)

2001-01-16  David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>

	* pro_die.c: set ar_reloc_len field
	in all cases.

2000-12-14  David Anderson <davea@sgi.com>

	* dwarf_frame.h: clarified some comments.

2000-12-14  Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>

        * dwarf_line.c: Now sets DW_LNE_end_sequence to
        default_is_stmt, the correct value, not is_stmt.


2000 Aug 24  davea@sgi.com
  dwarf_error.c: a dwarf_init() failure resulted in this
	using a static Dwarf_Error struct. And dwarf_dealloc
	did not deal properly with that. 
  dwarf_alloc.c dwarf_alloc.h: these had DYNAMIC_CHUNK protected code
  	which was never used.  Deleted the unused code. Added a small
  	comment (hopefully useful) to dwarf_alloc.h.

	And now deals correctly with a null dbg  on
	DW_DLA_ERROR  due to failed
	dwarf_init() call (or due to other error in calling
	libdwarf that results in libdwarf not knowing the dbg,
	a likely far more common case) and frees the memory.
	This used to result in chaos (depending on your
	luck...).

2000 Aug 23  davea@sgi.com
  libdwarf2.1.mm, ps.  Failed to mention that dwarf_finish()
  has to be accompanied by elf_end() if dwarf_init() was used
  to initialize libdwarf to truly release all stuff.
  Added text to dwarf_finish() describing how to do that.
2000 April 14  davea@sgi.com

  dwarf_abbrev.c - 1.22
        - When it is a null abbrev entry, return it correctly so it can be
          printed (meaning fill out all the return-parameters so the caller can
          do the right thing).

  dwarf_init_finish.c - 1.48
        - For most sections, simply having an empty section (present but empty)
          is just fine. There is no reason to register an error in such a case.

  Copyright has changed. See LIBDWARFCOPYRIGHT and NEWS

  dwarfdump/print_die.c - 1.42

  dwarfdump/tag_tree.list - 1.2
        - Add valid parent/child relationships so checker does not report valid
          entries as bogus.

  dwarf_form.c - 1.26
        - Correct dwarf reader to use appropriate size, not de_length_size. This          is part of the handling of the new dwarf2 64bit facilities. I
          overlooked this small aspect before in one place
  dwarf_query.c - 1.48
        - Use correct size, not de_length_size. For offset size.
  libdwarf2.1.mm - 1.41
        - Tried to make frame register output args meaning clearer
  libdwarf2.1.ps - 1.19
        - Tried to make frame register output args meaning clearer
  pro_forms.c - 1.33
        - Get ref4, not ref8 when generating 32bit dwarf per original dwarf2
          spec. even if pointer size is 64 bits.
  pro_init.c - 1.18
        - Get ref4, not ref8 when generating 32bit dwarf per original dwarf2
          spec. even if pointer size is 64 bits.

pro_forms.c  1.31 ar_next field not always zeroed before.

        - Allowing generation of correct dwarf2 with the 1999 64bit dwarf
          extension, and reading all forms of dwarf2 compatibly (all 32/64bit
          dwarf2 section  forms).

This adds the ability to consume and produce both sgi 64bit
and the new dwarf2 committee-approved 64bit dwarf extension.
As a result of the new dwarf2 stuff , a producer (compiler)
can mix 32 and 64bit dwarf (for a 64bit object) and the
linker will work seamlessly.  (as long as section sizes don't
get over 2GBytes).

And the producer is easily configured to produce mips/sgi style
64bit dwarf or the new form of 64bit dwarf.

This also eliminates a fair amount of rather silly duplicated code.

pro_section.c - 1.69
        - A pointer size entity had an offset-size value used at one place.
davea@sgi.com

1999 Sep 30
dwarf_arange.c - 1.18
        - Changed // comment to /* */.  // failed to compile 
          with C89 compiler...
davea@sgi.com


1999 Sep 29
Changed all the producer code
substantially to allow generating assembler code
for the dwarf2 (rather similar to what gcc does)
allowing symbolic relocations.
MIPS output still generates the binary form.
davea@sgi.com



1999 Aug 20
Stan Shebs (shebs@cygnus.com) pointed out that the pro_util.h
use of R_MIPS* was a problem compiling on Sun.
Since the producer code is not really used at present except for
MIPS/sgi, I've added #ifndefs to pro_util.h which provide zero values
when <elf.h> does not provide the macros.
When anyone needs the producer code to actually *work* for non-MIPS
something better will have to be done.

This has no effect on those simply compiling libdwarf for 
use by dwarfdump.
davea@sgi.com

1999 July 21
Changed the READ_UNALAGNED macro to call a function
depending on endianness of the host and the object being read.
So all the dwarf_* source changed in a trivial way.
Added support for printing egcs eh_frame section.
Added a local memcpy-like function to do the cross-endian
thing where applicable (called by READ_UNALIGNED macro). 
Because the .eh_frame section 
after linking can have some zeroed out bytes at the
end of the CIE/FDE data the code looking for CIEs and FDEs
now assumes a zero CIE/FDE length means it has reached
the end of the CIE/FDE data.

1999 June 14
  Fred Fish fnf@ninemoons.com contributed
  autoconf'ing of the libdwarf and dwarfdump source.  
  

  mips_extensions.*  Documented additional old errors
  in the Dwarf Version 2 spec.

  The ChangeLog before this is incomplete. 

-------------------------------------------------------------
Since Oct 95 and before May, 1996 davea@sgi.com David Anderson

Added the function dwarf_get_cie_of_fde() which makes it possible
to remember a single fde/cie set out of a block usefully.

Enhanced doc of dwarf_bitoffset()

Added new function dwarf_global_formref() so all reference
forms can be retrieved.

Fixed bug in retrieving array bounds: was failing to sign extend
formsdata.

Added function dwarf_get_fde_info_for_all_regs(), which makes
retrieval of the complete set of registers (as needed by
debuggers and exception handlers) effectively N times faster
than getting them one a time where N is the number of registers.

Added support for exception table handling (really just support
for a reference to an exception table for c++ exceptions).

Fixed a bug where useless extra space (several megabytes)
were malloc'ed for the abbreviations table by the libdwarf
consumer code.
