Array value popup display not quite right
« on: January 28, 2020, 07:50:24 pm »
Hello,

I was fiddling with bit arrays and was getting some values from GDB, I couldn't make sense of.  I wrote the following little test program to see what GDB would say:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program TestBitArray;
  2.  
  3. type
  4.   T1BIT = 0..1;
  5.  
  6. var
  7.   BitArray  : bitpacked array[0..8191] of T1BIT;
  8.   ByteArray : packed array[0..1023] of byte absolute BitArray;
  9.  
  10.   i   : integer;
  11.  
  12.   sum : qword;
  13.  
  14.  
  15. begin
  16.   sum := 0;
  17.   for i := low(BitArray) to high(BitArray) do
  18.   begin
  19.     inc(sum, BitArray[i]);
  20.   end;
  21.   writeln(Sum);
  22.  
  23.   sum := 0;
  24.   for i := low(ByteArray) to high(ByteArray) do
  25.   begin
  26.     inc(Sum, ByteArray[i]);
  27.   end;
  28.   writeln(Sum);
  29. end.
When hovering the mouse over the BitArray variable, GDB shows that some of the elements in the array are not zero (they should be - and are - zero.)  The Sum variables confirm that all elements are zero even though GDB shows some of them as not zero.

What the popup display shows is attached to this post.

I figured I'd post this as an FYI.  Also, the GDB version I'm using is 7.2, type of Debug Info is "dwarf with sets".

(FPC v3.0.4 and Lazarus 1.8.2) or (FPC v3.2.2 and Lazarus v3.2) on Windows 7 SP1 64bit.

Confirm. Same output.
If remove bitpacked or change to packed then GDB shows only zeroes.
