Detailed Description

Structure for the core state after a trap.

GDB allows both reading and changing of registers. These registers are saved at the entry function of a trap (before the actual GDB_Stub::handle is executed) and then converted into this structure – and usually also directly transferred to the connected GDB host. Changes done by the GDB host are first saved in this structure and then written back into the registers right before continuing the actual operating system code.

Member Function Documentation

State::Register State::get ( enum RegisterNumber  reg = REGISTERS,
int8_t  core = 0 
)
static

Access a previously saved register.

Parameters
regRegister identifier. If State::REGISTERS is used, all registers will be returned
core1-indexed Core ID (≤ 0 for current core)
Returns
Pointer to a structure with address and size of the stored contents
State::Register State::get ( uintptr_t  reg,
int8_t  core = 0 
)
static

Access a previously saved register.

Parameters
regRegister identifier. If State::REGISTERS is used, all registers will be returned
core1-indexed Core ID (≤ 0 for current core)
Returns
Pointer to a structure with address and size of the stored contents
void State::save ( const DebugContext *  context)
static

Read register content from DebugContext and FPU.

Parameters
contextPointer to context of gdb_interrupt_handler
void State::restore ( DebugContext *  context)
static

Write register contents back DebugContext and FPU.

Parameters
contextPointer to context of gdb_interrupt_handler, which will finally be restored after returning from the handler.
