The problem seems to be caused by files/patch-gdb-amd64-nat.h, which for some cryptic reason removes prototype of amd64bsd_target() from amd64-nat.h. That allows the code to be compilable still (sloppy gdb developers!) but the assumed return type of the function becomes int instead of a pointer which it really is. Thus, the returned pointer value gets truncated on amd64 and as a result an invalid pointer is passed to i386_use_watchpoints() from _initialize_amd64fbsd_nat(). Oh, looking at the patch in PR ports/165357 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=165357), it seems that amd64bsd_target() should have re-appeared in a new header file "amd64bsd-nat.h"... But that part of the patch seems to be incorrect in that it would create files/amd64bsd-nat.h instead of a patch file to create amd64bsd-nat.h in the source directory. Apparently this file never made it as a result. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
