Hi Todd,

Ok, I'll let you know what I'll need when I get to "how to support kalimba variant recognition from gdb-remote".

As you may have seen from

"r216541 - Add support for kalimba architecture variants 3, 4 and 5."

I've already added recognition of kal variants from ELF parse.

cheers
Matt

Hey Matthew,

Right now the code is setup to either generate the architecture based on cputype/cpusubtype (which IIRC map directly to xnu/Mach values) and build the ArchSpec from that + other details, OR to use the triple to generate the ArchSpecs. The cputype/cpusubtype are really geared toward the darwin side of the house.

However, there is no reason why you couldn't use those fields aside from the caveat above. Care will just need to be taken to ensure the ArchSpec based on parsing these works correctly, and (probably) some of the Apple-specific setup paths may need to be guarded with OS checks if you want different behavior than what darwin is doing.

Feel free to send up snippets of code you're considering. I've had to debug through quite a bit of code around these areas lately as I get llgs running for local debugging. (This bug needed to be resolved as part of that effort).

    Hi Todd,

    Will it still be possible that some non-Apple stuff (e.g. kalimba)
    can extract a subtype field (from say qProcessInfo or qHostInfo)?
    I'll need this to support kalimba architecture variants at some
    stage. (Bear in mind that CSR don't use share
    GDBRemoteCommunicationServer, only GDBRemoteCommunicationClient.

    thanks,
    Matt

        Summary         llgs: RSP qProcessInfo should return triple on
        Linux, not cputype/cpusubtype.

        1. Fix GDBRemoteCommunicationServer to send a triple instead of
        cputype/cpusubtype when llgs is running on non-__APPLE__.

        2. Modify GDBRemoteCommunicationClient::GetCurrentProcessInfo
        () to accept a
        triple and adjust ArchSpec appropriately when provided.

        This will fix an issue where llgs is mis-interpreting the
        remote process exe
        triple.
