Python code can request and inspect line table information from a
|
||
|
|
symbol table that is loaded in <span class="sc">gdb</span>. A line table is a
|
||
|
|
mapping of source lines to their executable locations in memory. To
|
||
|
|
acquire the line table information for a particular symbol table, use
|
||
|
|
the <code>linetable</code> function (see <a href="Symbol-Tables-In-Python.html#Symbol-Tables-In-Python">Symbol Tables In Python</a>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A <code>gdb.LineTable</code> is iterable. The iterator returns
|
||
|
|
<code>LineTableEntry</code> objects that correspond to the source line and
|
||
|
|
address for each line table entry. <code>LineTableEntry</code> objects have
|
||
|
|
the following attributes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div class="defun">
|
||
|
|
— Variable: <b>LineTableEntry.line</b><var><a name="index-LineTableEntry_002eline-2379"></a></var><br>
|
||
|
|
<blockquote><p>The source line number for this line table entry. This number
|
||
|
|
corresponds to the actual line of source. This attribute is not
|
||
|
|
writable.
|
||
|
|
</p></blockquote></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div class="defun">
|
||
|
|
— Variable: <b>LineTableEntry.pc</b><var><a name="index-LineTableEntry_002epc-2380"></a></var><br>
|
||
|
|
<blockquote><p>The address that is associated with the line table entry where the
|
||
|
|
executable code for that source line resides in memory. This
|
||
|
|
attribute is not writable.
|
||
|
|
</p></blockquote></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>As there can be multiple addresses for a single source line, you may
|
||
|
|
receive multiple <code>LineTableEntry</code> objects with matching
|
||
|
|
<code>line</code> attributes, but with different <code>pc</code> attributes. The
|
||
|
|
iterator is sorted in ascending <code>pc</code> order. Here is a small
|
||
|
|
example illustrating iterating over a line table.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> symtab = gdb.selected_frame().find_sal().symtab
|
||
|
|
linetable = symtab.linetable()
|
||
|
|
for line in linetable:
|
||
|
|
print "Line: "+str(line.line)+" Address: "+hex(line.pc)
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>This will have the following output:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> Line: 33 Address: 0x4005c8L
|
||
|
|
Line: 37 Address: 0x4005caL
|
||
|
|
Line: 39 Address: 0x4005d2L
|
||
|
|
Line: 40 Address: 0x4005f8L
|
||
|
|
Line: 42 Address: 0x4005ffL
|
||
|
|
Line: 44 Address: 0x400608L
|
||
|
|
Line: 42 Address: 0x40060cL
|
||
|
|
Line: 45 Address: 0x400615L
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition to being able to iterate over a <code>LineTable</code>, it also
|
||
|
|
has the following direct access methods:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div class="defun">
|
||
|
|
— Function: <b>LineTable.line</b> (<var>line</var>)<var><a name="index-LineTable_002eline-2381"></a></var><br>
|
||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Return a Python <code>Tuple</code> of <code>LineTableEntry</code> objects for any
|
||
|
|
entries in the line table for the given <var>line</var>, which specifies
|
||
|
|
the source code line. If there are no entries for that source code
|
||
|
|
<var>line</var>, the Python <code>None</code> is returned.
|
||
|
|
</p></blockquote></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div class="defun">
|
||
|
|
— Function: <b>LineTable.has_line</b> (<var>line</var>)<var><a name="index-LineTable_002ehas_005fline-2382"></a></var><br>
|
||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Return a Python <code>Boolean</code> indicating whether there is an entry in
|
||
|
|
the line table for this source line. Return <code>True</code> if an entry
|
||

|
||
|
|
</p></blockquote></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div class="defun">
|
||
|
|
— Function: <b>LineTable.source_lines</b> ()<var><a name="index-LineTable_002esource_005flines-2383"></a></var><br>
|
||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Return a Python <code>List</code> of the source line numbers in the symbol
|
||
|
|

|
||

|
||
|
|
represented as Python <code>Long</code> values.
|
||
|
|
