Bug ID: 99649
Summary: GDB has issue to show backtrace if the breakpoint is
in a function with more then 8 parameters only in
target aarch64-elf ILP32
Product: gcc
Version: 10.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c

This is a small example that demonstrates the bug. Content is just start.c
start.S and start.lk and also scripts which will help you build the example.
This example doesn't contain any include.
Dear GCC team,
the Siemens developers noticed one issue in a GCC 10.2 and we don't know how to
deal with it. It occurs only for an aarch64 ilp32 target. Generally when we put
a breakpoint into function with more the 8 arguments then GDB has a problem
showing backtrace. To be exact, the last function is shown in an endless loop
unless GDB is forced to quit or the backtrace limit is set.
I’ve created a small example to reproduce this problem with Qemu (4.1) and GCC
10.2 toolchain. Inside the package, there is a ‘readme.txt’ file with
instructions on how to build, start Qemu and GDB (with GDB commands) to
demonstrate the problem. The interesting fact is that if you use LP64 ABI than
this problem does not occur. Because it is working on LP64, I don't think the
issue is in the GDB.
NOTES:
1. This example is compiled on Windows 10 using aarch64_elf compiler for
Windows. It contains only one simple .c and one .S file. To successfully
compile it please change a PATH of the toolchain and QEMU directory at the
beginning of the script build_and_run_qemu.cmd.
2. Also update a path of the GDB at the beginning of the run_gdb.cmd script.
3. As I mentioned above, we compiled that example with aarch64_elf compiler on
Windows 10. Because this ILP32 target is really specific, we built our
toolchain with MinGW using this command:
$SRCDIR/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32
--prefix=$prefix --target=aarch64-elf --disable-nls --enable-multilib
--with-multilib-list=lp64,ilp32 --enable-languages=c,c++
--disable-decimal-float --with-sysroot=$prefix --without-headers
--disable-shared --disable-threads --disable-lto --disable-libmudflap
--disable-libssp --disable-libgomp --disable-libffi --disable-libstdcxx-pch
--disable-win32-registry '--with-host-libstdcxx=-static-libgcc
-Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++,-Bdynamic -lm' --with-newlib --with-gcc --with-gnu-as
--with-gnu-ld --with-gmp=$prefixlocal --with-mpfr=$prefixlocal
--with-mpc=$prefixlocal --with-isl=$prefixlocal --with-zstd=$prefixlocal ||
return $ECONFIGURE
Please let me know if I can assist any further. I am so sorry because I didn't
upload the preprocessed file (*.i*) because this is not a common bug and for my
understanding test example is more useful in this case.
