This means that if we have two source files f1.c and f2.c, and both files contains 'static int foo;', then when we are stopped in f1.c a call to 'gdb.lookup_static_symbol ("foo")' will find f1.c::foo, and if we are stopped in f2.c we would find 'f2.c::foo'. Given that gdb.lookup_static_symbol always returns a single symbol, but there can be multiple static symbols with the same name GDB is always making a choice about which symbols to return. I think that it makes sense for the choice GDB makes in this case to match what a user would get on the command line if they asked to 'print foo'. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.python/py-symbol.c: Declare and call function from new py-symbol-2.c file. * gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Compile both source files, and add new tests for gdb.lookup_static_symbol. * gdb.python/py-symbol-2.c: New file. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * python.texi (Symbols In Python): Extend documentation for gdb.lookup_static_symbol. gdb/ChangeLog: * python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbol): Lookup in static block of current object file first. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 5 +++++ gdb/doc/ChangeLog | 5 +++++ gdb/doc/python.texi | 8 ++++++++ gdb/python/py-symbol.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++- gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog | 8 ++++++++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-symbol-2.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-symbol.c | 9 +++++++++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-symbol.exp | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 8 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-symbol-2.c diff --git a/gdb/doc/python.texi b/gdb/doc/python.texi index 832283dede8..12f169afa78 100644 --- a/gdb/doc/python.texi +++ b/gdb/doc/python.texi @@ -4869,6 +4869,14 @@ up such variables, iterate over the variables of the function's @code{gdb.Block} and check that @code{block.addr_class} is @code{gdb.SYMBOL_LOC_STATIC}. + +There can be multiple global symbols with static linkage with the same +name.
