template<typename T, typename A>
inline T *
vec_safe_push (vec<T, A, vl_embed> *&v, const T &obj CXX_MEM_STAT_INFO)
where v is a reference to a pointer to vec. This matches the regex for
VecPrinter, so gdbhooks.py attempts to print it but chokes on the reference.
I see the following:
#1 0x0000000002b84b7b in vec_safe_push<edge_def*, va_gc> (v=Traceback (most
recent call last):
File "$SRC/gcc/gcc/gdbhooks.py", line 486, in to_string
return '0x%x' % intptr(self.gdbval)
File "$SRC/gcc/gcc/gdbhooks.py", line 168, in intptr
return long(gdbval) if sys.version_info.major == 2 else int(gdbval)
gdb.error: Cannot convert value to long.
This patch makes VecPrinter handle such references by stripping them
(dereferencing) at the top of the relevant functions.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* gdbhooks.py (strip_ref): New. Use it ...
(VecPrinter.to_string): ... here,
(VecPrinter.children): ... and here.
