The ptrace args/return types detection doesn't work properly in C++ mode, on non-GNU/Linux hosts. For example, on gcc70 (NetBSD 5.1), where the prototype is: int ptrace(int, __pid_t, void*, int); configure misdetects it as: $ grep PTRACE_TYPE config.h #define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1 int #define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3 int * #define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4 int /* #undef PTRACE_TYPE_ARG5 */ #define PTRACE_TYPE_RET int resulting in: ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c: In function 'void amd64bsd_fetch_inferior_registers(target_ops*, regcache*, int)': ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:56: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c: In function 'void amd64bsd_store_inferior_registers(target_ops*, regcache*, int)': ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:104: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:110: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules We could address this [1], however despite ptrace.m4's claim: # Needs to be tested in C++ mode, to detect whether we need to cast # the first argument to enum __ptrace_request. it appears that there's actually no need to test in C++ mode. Always running the ptrace tests in C mode works just the same on GNU/Linux. I remember experimenting with several different ways to handle the original issue back then, and maybe that was needed in some other attempt and then I didn't realize it ended up not really necessary. Confirmed that this fixes the NetBSD 5.1 C++ build, and confirmed that C and C++ builds on Fedora 23 are unaffected.
