testcase for -finstrument-functions on ia64 (309 bytes, text/plain)

Description Fané Henry 2005-05-16 14:35:50 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050421 Firefox/1.0.3 (Debian package 1.0.3-2)

Description of problem:
I tried to use -finstrument-functions on ia64 itanium processors and adresses seems to be incorrect in functions __cyg_profile_func_enter(...) when I look at nm <my_prog> ouput. The same program works well on ia32.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gcc -Wall -finstrument-functions -g -o prof prof.c
2. ./prof

  

Actual Results:  I have an address of a function that I tried to match with the 'nm prof' output.

Expected Results:  Exact matching between the __cyg_profile_func_enter(...) and nm output.

Additional info:

Created attachment 114423 [details]
testcase for -finstrument-functions on ia64

To compile:
gcc -Wall -finstrument-functions -g -o prof prof.c

./prof and try to match with an 'nm prof' output

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2005-05-16 14:59:40 UTC
The arguments are correct.  __cyg_profile_func_{enter,exit}'s first argument
is address of the function that is being entered (resp. exited).
On IA-64, function addresses are function descriptor addresses, so you can
compare them with function addresses in C/C++ code.
If (this_func == (void *) f1) is correct comparison.
If you want to get the .text address of the function body instead, you need
to read it from the function descriptor.  So *(void **)this_func.

Thank you very much.
