| The ‘<samp><span class="samp">C</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">c</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">S</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">s</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">vCont</span></samp>’, |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">vAttach</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">vRun</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">vStopped</span></samp>’, and ‘<samp><span class="samp">?</span></samp>’ packets can |
| receive any of the below as a reply. Except for ‘<samp><span class="samp">?</span></samp>’ |
| and ‘<samp><span class="samp">vStopped</span></samp>’, that reply is only returned |
| when the target halts. In the below the exact meaning of <dfn>signal |
| number</dfn> is defined by the header <samp><span class="file">include/gdb/signals.h</span></samp> in the |
| <span class="sc">gdb</span> source code. |
| |
| <p>As in the description of request packets, we include spaces in the |
| reply templates for clarity; these are not part of the reply packet's |
| syntax. No <span class="sc">gdb</span> stop reply packet uses spaces to separate its |
| components. |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">S </span><var>AA</var></samp>’<dd>The program received signal number <var>AA</var> (a two-digit hexadecimal |
| number). This is equivalent to a ‘<samp><span class="samp">T</span></samp>’ response with no |
| <var>n</var>:<var>r</var> pairs. |
| |
| <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">T </span><var>AA</var> <var>n1</var><span class="samp">:</span><var>r1</var><span class="samp">;</span><var>n2</var><span class="samp">:</span><var>r2</var><span class="samp">;...</span></samp>’<dd><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007bT_007d-packet-reply-2435"></a>The program received signal number <var>AA</var> (a two-digit hexadecimal |
| number). This is equivalent to an ‘<samp><span class="samp">S</span></samp>’ response, except that the |
| ‘<samp><var>n</var><span class="samp">:</span><var>r</var></samp>’ pairs can carry values of important registers |
| and other information directly in the stop reply packet, reducing |
| round-trip latency. Single-step and breakpoint traps are reported |
| this way. Each ‘<samp><var>n</var><span class="samp">:</span><var>r</var></samp>’ pair is interpreted as follows: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>If <var>n</var> is a hexadecimal number, it is a register number, and the |
| corresponding <var>r</var> gives that register's value. <var>r</var> is a |
| series of bytes in target byte order, with each byte given by a |
| two-digit hex number. |
| |
| <li>If <var>n</var> is ‘<samp><span class="samp">thread</span></samp>’, then <var>r</var> is the <var>thread-id</var> of |
| the stopped thread, as specified in <a href="thread_002did-syntax.html#thread_002did-syntax">thread-id syntax</a>. |
| |
| <li>If <var>n</var> is ‘<samp><span class="samp">core</span></samp>’, then <var>r</var> is the hexadecimal number of |
| the core on which the stop event was detected. |
| |
| <li>If <var>n</var> is a recognized <dfn>stop reason</dfn>, it describes a more |
| specific event that stopped the target. The currently defined stop |
| reasons are listed below. <var>aa</var> should be ‘<samp><span class="samp">05</span></samp>’, the trap |
| signal. At most one stop reason should be present. |
| |
| <li>Otherwise, <span class="sc">gdb</span> should ignore this ‘<samp><var>n</var><span class="samp">:</span><var>r</var></samp>’ pair |
| and go on to the next; this allows us to extend the protocol in the |
| future. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>The currently defined stop reasons are: |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">watch</span></samp>’<dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">rwatch</span></samp>’<dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">awatch</span></samp>’<dd>The packet indicates a watchpoint hit, and <var>r</var> is the data address, in |
| hex. |
| |
| <p><a name="index-shared-library-events_002c-remote-reply-2436"></a><br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">library</span></samp>’<dd>The packet indicates that the loaded libraries have changed. |
| <span class="sc">gdb</span> should use ‘<samp><span class="samp">qXfer:libraries:read</span></samp>’ to fetch a new |
| list of loaded libraries. <var>r</var> is ignored. |
| |
| <p><a name="index-replay-log-events_002c-remote-reply-2437"></a><br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">replaylog</span></samp>’<dd>The packet indicates that the target cannot continue replaying |
| logged execution events, because it has reached the end (or the |
| beginning when executing backward) of the log. The value of <var>r</var> |
| will be either ‘<samp><span class="samp">begin</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">end</span></samp>’. See <a href="Reverse-Execution.html#Reverse-Execution">Reverse Execution</a>, |
| for more information. |
| </dl> |
| |
| <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">W </span><var>AA</var></samp>’<dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">W </span><var>AA</var><span class="samp"> ; process:</span><var>pid</var></samp>’<dd>The process exited, and <var>AA</var> is the exit status. This is only |
| applicable to certain targets. |
| |
| <p>The second form of the response, including the process ID of the exited |
| process, can be used only when <span class="sc">gdb</span> has reported support for |
| multiprocess protocol extensions; see <a href="multiprocess-extensions.html#multiprocess-extensions">multiprocess extensions</a>. |
| The <var>pid</var> is formatted as a big-endian hex string. |
| |
| <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">X </span><var>AA</var></samp>’<dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">X </span><var>AA</var><span class="samp"> ; process:</span><var>pid</var></samp>’<dd>The process terminated with signal <var>AA</var>. |
| |
| <p>The second form of the response, including the process ID of the |
| terminated process, can be used only when <span class="sc">gdb</span> has reported |
| support for multiprocess protocol extensions; see <a href="multiprocess-extensions.html#multiprocess-extensions">multiprocess extensions</a>. The <var>pid</var> is formatted as a big-endian hex string. |
| |
| <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">O </span><var>XX</var><span class="samp">...</span></samp>’<dd>‘<samp><var>XX</var><span class="samp">...</span></samp>’ is hex encoding of <span class="sc">ascii</span> data, to be |
| written as the program's console output. This can happen at any time |
| while the program is running and the debugger should continue to wait |
| for ‘<samp><span class="samp">W</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">T</span></samp>’, etc. This reply is not permitted in non-stop mode. |
| |
| <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">F </span><var>call-id</var><span class="samp">,</span><var>parameter</var><span class="samp">...</span></samp>’<dd><var>call-id</var> is the identifier which says which host system call should |
| be called. This is just the name of the function. Translation into the |
| correct system call is only applicable as it's defined in <span class="sc">gdb</span>. |
| See <a href="File_002dI_002fO-Remote-Protocol-Extension.html#File_002dI_002fO-Remote-Protocol-Extension">File-I/O Remote Protocol Extension</a>, for a list of implemented |
| system calls. |
| |
| <p>‘<samp><var>parameter</var><span class="samp">...</span></samp>’ is a list of parameters as defined for |
| this very system call. |
| |
| <p>The target replies with this packet when it expects <span class="sc">gdb</span> to |
| call a host system call on behalf of the target. <span class="sc">gdb</span> replies |
| with an appropriate ‘<samp><span class="samp">F</span></samp>’ packet and keeps up waiting for the next |
| reply packet from the target. The latest ‘<samp><span class="samp">C</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">c</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">S</span></samp>’ |
| or ‘<samp><span class="samp">s</span></samp>’ action is expected to be continued. See <a href="File_002dI_002fO-Remote-Protocol-Extension.html#File_002dI_002fO-Remote-Protocol-Extension">File-I/O Remote Protocol Extension</a>, for more details. |
