Hi,
I'm running Insight 6.4 for Arm-elf on Windows XP using Cygwin. The target
is a Philips ARM LPC2214 run via a remote GDB server.
I'm able to download, step & run programs compiled for ARM on the target.
When I compile one or more files for Thumb (mixed ARM & Thumb code) I'm
still able to download & run programs. However, whenever I try to step
into a function compiled for Thumb (from ARM code) I don't actually step
through each line in that function, instead it is as though I've selected
step-over rather than step-into the function.
I've tried two different types of remote GDB server (same target) & both
do the same thing so I don't think there's an issue there. I've set infrun
to 1 in the GDB console window & included the output resulting from
stepping 'into' a Thumb function below:
infrun: proceed (addr=0xffffffff, signal=144, step=1)
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=0)
infrun: wait_for_inferior
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x81004d2c
infrun: stepped into subroutine
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=0)
infrun: prepare_to_wait
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x81001c2c
infrun: BPSTATE_WHAT_STEP_RESUME
infrun: stepped to a different line
infrun: stop_stepping
(gdb)
Is being unable to step into a Thumb function a known bug in the Arm-Elf
version of Insight/GDB ?
Thanks
Dave Bryan
