<a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_003cgdb_003avalue_003e_007d-2486"></a><span class="sc">gdb</span> provides values it obtains from the inferior program in
|
|
an object of type <code><gdb:value></code>. <span class="sc">gdb</span> uses this object
|
|
for its internal bookkeeping of the inferior's values, and for
|
|
fetching values when necessary.
|
|
|
|
<p><span class="sc">gdb</span> does not memoize <code><gdb:value></code> objects.
|
|
<code>make-value</code> always returns a fresh object.
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) guile (eq? (make-value 1) (make-value 1))

</pre>
|
|
<p>A <code><gdb:value></code> that represents a function can be executed via
|
|
inferior function call with <code>value-call</code>.
|
|
Any arguments provided to the call must match the function's prototype,
|
|
and must be provided in the order specified by that prototype.
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, <code>some-val</code> is a <code><gdb:value></code> instance
|
|
representing a function that takes two integers as arguments. To
|
|
execute this function, call it like so:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (define result (value-call some-val 10 20))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Any values returned from a function call are <code><gdb:value></code> objects.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: Unlike Python scripting in <span class="sc">gdb</span>,
|
|
inferior values that are simple scalars cannot be used directly in
|
|
Scheme expressions that are valid for the value's data type.
|
|
For example, <code>(+ (parse-and-eval "int_variable") 2)</code> does not work.
|
|
And inferior values that are structures or instances of some class cannot
|
|
be accessed using any special syntax, instead <code>value-field</code> must be used.
|
|
|
|
<p>The following value-related procedures are provided by the
|
|
<code>(gdb)</code> module.

<blockquote><p>Many Scheme values can be converted directly to a <code><gdb:value></code>
|
|
with this procedure. If <var>type</var> is specified, the result is a value
|
|
of this type, and if <var>value</var> can't be represented with this type
|
|
an exception is thrown. Otherwise the type of the result is determined from
|
|
<var>value</var> as described below.
|
|
|
|
<p>See <a href="Architectures-In-Guile.html#Architectures-In-Guile">Architectures In Guile</a>, for a list of the builtin
|
|
types for an architecture.
|
|
|
|
<p>Here's how Scheme values are converted when <var>type</var> argument to
|
|
<code>make-value</code> is not specified:
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>Scheme boolean<dd>A Scheme boolean is converted the boolean type for the current language.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>Scheme integer<dd>A Scheme integer is converted to the first of a C <code>int</code>,
|
|
<code>unsigned int</code>, <code>long</code>, <code>unsigned long</code>,
|
|
<code>long long</code> or <code>unsigned long long</code> type
|
|
for the current architecture that can represent the value.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the Scheme integer cannot be represented as a target integer
|
|
an <code>out-of-range</code> exception is thrown.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>Scheme real<dd>A Scheme real is converted to the C <code>double</code> type for the
|
|
current architecture.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>Scheme string<dd>A Scheme string is converted to a string in the current target
|
|
language using the current target encoding.
|
|
Characters that cannot be represented in the current target encoding
|
|
are replaced with the corresponding escape sequence. This is Guile's
|
|
<code>SCM_FAILED_CONVERSION_ESCAPE_SEQUENCE</code> conversion strategy
|
|
(see <a href="../guile/Strings.html#Strings">Strings</a>).
|
|
|
|
<p>Passing <var>type</var> is not supported in this case,
|
|
if it is provided a <code>wrong-type-arg</code> exception is thrown.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code><gdb:lazy-string></code><dd>If <var>value</var> is a <code><gdb:lazy-string></code> object (see <a href="Lazy-Strings-In-Guile.html#Lazy-Strings-In-Guile">Lazy Strings In Guile</a>), then the <code>lazy-string->value</code> procedure is called, and
|
|
its result is used.
|
|
|
|
<p>Passing <var>type</var> is not supported in this case,
|
|
if it is provided a <code>wrong-type-arg</code> exception is thrown.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt>Scheme bytevector<dd>If <var>value</var> is a Scheme bytevector and <var>type</var> is provided,
|
|
<var>value</var> must be the same size, in bytes, of values of type <var>type</var>,
|
|
and the result is essentially created by using <code>memcpy</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>If <var>value</var> is a Scheme bytevector and <var>type</var> is not provided,
|
|
the result is an array of type <code>uint8</code> of the same length.

— Scheme Procedure: <b>value-dereference</b><var> value<a name="index-value_002ddereference-2497"></a></var><br>
|
|
<blockquote><p>For pointer data types, this method returns a new <code><gdb:value></code> object
|
|
whose contents is the object pointed to by <var>value</var>. For example, if
|
|
<code>foo</code> is a C pointer to an <code>int</code>, declared in your C program as
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> int *foo;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent">then you can use the corresponding <code><gdb:value></code> to access what
|
|
<code>foo</code> points to like this:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (define bar (value-dereference foo))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The result <code>bar</code> will be a <code><gdb:value></code> object holding the
|
|
value pointed to by <code>foo</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>A similar function <code>value-referenced-value</code> exists which also
|
|
returns <code><gdb:value></code> objects corresonding to the values pointed to
|
|
by pointer values (and additionally, values referenced by reference
|
|
values). However, the behavior of <code>value-dereference</code>
|
|
differs from <code>value-referenced-value</code> by the fact that the
|
|
behavior of <code>value-dereference</code> is identical to applying the C
|
|
unary operator <code>*</code> on a given value. For example, consider a
|
|
reference to a pointer <code>ptrref</code>, declared in your C<tt>++</tt> program
|
|
as
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> typedef int *intptr;
|
|
...
|
|
int val = 10;
|
|
intptr ptr = &val;
|
|
intptr &ptrref = ptr;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Though <code>ptrref</code> is a reference value, one can apply the method
|
|
<code>value-dereference</code> to the <code><gdb:value></code> object corresponding
|
|
to it and obtain a <code><gdb:value></code> which is identical to that
|
|
corresponding to <code>val</code>. However, if you apply the method
|
|
<code>value-referenced-value</code>, the result would be a <code><gdb:value></code>
|
|
object identical to that corresponding to <code>ptr</code>.
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (define scm-ptrref (parse-and-eval "ptrref"))
|
|
(define scm-val (value-dereference scm-ptrref))
|
|
(define scm-ptr (value-referenced-value scm-ptrref))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The <code><gdb:value></code> object <code>scm-val</code> is identical to that
|
|
corresponding to <code>val</code>, and <code>scm-ptr</code> is identical to that
|
|
corresponding to <code>ptr</code>. In general, <code>value-dereference</code> can
|
|
be applied whenever the C unary operator <code>*</code> can be applied
|
|
to the corresponding C value. For those cases where applying both
|
|
<code>value-dereference</code> and <code>value-referenced-value</code> is allowed,
|
|
the results obtained need not be identical (as we have seen in the above
|
|
example). The results are however identical when applied on
|
|
<code><gdb:value></code> objects corresponding to pointers (<code><gdb:value></code>
|
|
objects with type code <code>TYPE_CODE_PTR</code>) in a C/C<tt>++</tt> program.

the same encodings as the corresponding argument to Guile's

<p>The optional <var>errors</var> argument is one of <code>#f</code>, <code>error</code> or

<blockquote><p>If this <code><gdb:value></code> represents a string, then this method
|
|
converts <var>value</var> to a <code><gdb:lazy-string</code> (see <a href="Lazy-Strings-In-Guile.html#Lazy-Strings-In-Guile">Lazy Strings In Guile</a>). Otherwise, this method will throw an exception.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the optional <var>encoding</var> argument is given, it must be a string
|
|
naming the encoding of the <code><gdb:lazy-string</code>. Some examples are:
|
|
<code>"ascii"</code>, <code>"iso-8859-6"</code> or <code>"utf-8"</code>. If the
|
|
<var>encoding</var> argument is an encoding that <span class="sc">gdb</span> does not
|
|
recognize, <span class="sc">gdb</span> will raise an error.
|
|
|
|
<p>When a lazy string is printed, the <span class="sc">gdb</span> encoding machinery is
|
|
used to convert the string during printing. If the optional
|
|
<var>encoding</var> argument is not provided, or is an empty string,
|
|
<span class="sc">gdb</span> will automatically select the encoding most suitable for
|
|
the string type. For further information on encoding in <span class="sc">gdb</span>
|
|
please see <a href="Character-Sets.html#Character-Sets">Character Sets</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the optional <var>length</var> argument is given, the string will be
|
|
fetched and encoded to the length of characters specified. If
|
|
the <var>length</var> argument is not provided, the string will be fetched
|
|
and encoded until a null of appropriate width is found.
|
|
The length must be a Scheme integer and not a <code><gdb:value></code> integer.
