Blob Blame History Raw
This bug is already fixed in the RHEL-7.1 GDB version.  However, it is
also important to add a testcase, so the following is a patch to add
this test.

This is the original message submitted to gdb-patches:

    Subject: [PATCH] Add test for global variable that is nested by another DSO
    Date: Thu,  4 Sep 2014 17:32:53 -0400
    Message-Id: <1409866373-16413-1-git-send-email-sergiodj@redhat.com>

    This is just a testcase addition that I am proposing for upstream GDB.
    We have this in our internal tree, and the related RH bug is:

    This bug is about a global variable that got incorrectly displayed by
    GDB.  This bug has already been fixed a long time ago by Joel's
    commit:
    
      commit 19630284f570790ebf6d50bfb43caa1f125ee88a
      Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@gnat.com>
      Date:   Tue Jun 5 13:50:50 2012 +0000
    
    But I think a testcase for it wouldn't hurt.
    
    So, consider the following scenario:
    
      $ cat solib1.c
      int test;
      void c_main (void)
      {
        test = 42;
      }
    
      $ cat solib2.c
      int test;
      void b_main (void)
      {
        test = 42;
      }
    
      $ cat main.c
      int main (int argc, char *argv[])
      {
        c_main ();
        b_main ();
        return 0;
      }
    
      $ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO1.so -c solib1.c
      $ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO2.so -c solib2.c
      $ gcc -g -o main -L$PWD -lSO1 -lSO2 main.c
      $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
      ...
      $1 = 0
    
    This happened with GDB before Joel's commit above.  Now, things work
    and GDB is able to correctly display the nested global variable:
    
      $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
      ...
      $1 = 42
    
    The testcase attached tests this behavior.
