Jens Remus April 12, 2024, 2:47 p.m. UTC
  The following generic warning message, which is printed whenever the
assembler skips generation of SFrame FDE, is not very helpful for the
user:

  skipping SFrame FDE due to DWARF CFI op <name> (0x<hexval>)

Whenever possible print meaningful warning messages, when the assembler
skips generation of SFrame FDE:

- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa defining non-SP/FP register
  <regno> as CFA base register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa_register defining non-SP/FP
  register <regno> as CFA base register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa_offset without CFA base
  register in effect
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa_offset with non-SP/FP register
  <regno> as CFA base register in effect
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_val_offset specifying {FP|RA} register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_remember_state without SFrame FRE
  state
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_register specifying {SP|FP|RA}
  register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to non-default return-address register <regno>

Notes (jremus):
    Changes v2 -> v3:
    - Updated SFrame warning message texts as suggested by Indu, except for
      the .cfi_def_cfa[_register] ones. I think it would be helpful for the
      user to know that the issue is caused by a non-SP/FP register. But
      maybe that is because I am new to CFI and those that would actually
      debug the cause for these warnings would not need this extra
      information? Anyhow, Indu, if you still prefer your suggestions I
      would go with yours.
      The ".cfi_remember_state without SFrame FRE state" warning needs to
      remain, as there would otherwise not be any warning at all. The reason
      is that sframe_do_cfi_insn now expects any of its called CFI
      processing functions to emit a warning, if they return with an error,
      such as SFRAME_XLATE_ERR_NOTREPRESENTED. Silently skipping SFrame FDE
      does not seem an acceptable approach to me.
    - Do not test sframe_ra_tracking_p when determining the SFrame register
      name in sframe_register_name. The RA register name does not depend on
      whether RA tracking is used or not.
    - Corrected formatting of ChangeLog in commit message.

My intention below is to keep warning messages terse but useful.

>    <regno> as CFA base register

.cfi_def_cfa _is_ used to specify the CFA base register. So I suggest we 
re-word this to following (and hence, removing the redundancy):

skipping SFrame FDE; non-SP/FP register <regno> in .cfi_def_cfa

or if (;) is unappetizing:

skipping SFrame FDE due to non-SP/FP register <regno> in .cfi_def_cfa

(replacing ; with "due to", if you prefer, applies to all comments below)

register in effect

I find this very confusing.  Can we not add this warning?  Such a case 
should not happen as we have handled the respective cases in 
sframe_xlate_do_def_cfa and sframe_xlate_do_def_cfa_register ?

<>/GCC/gcc-upstream/gcc/contrib/check_GNU_style.py patch gives:

=== ERROR type #1: blocks of 8 spaces should be replaced with tabs (1 
error(s)) ===
gas/gen-sframe.c:1386:0:        err = SFRAME_XLATE_ERR_NOTREPRESENTED;

I dont think it is a must-be-used-script for binutils project, but for 
my commits I have used this script to keep code base aligned to same 
formatting style.

PS: Not all errors reported by the script need to be fixed.

return-address -> "return address" or even just RA.

I like the terse format. Especially as it saves some characters for the longer reason descriptions.

Done. I finally got the point. I have added the following comment as explanation:

/* No CFA base register in effect.  Non-SP/FP CFA base register should
    not occur, as sframe_xlate_do_def_cfa[_register] would detect this.  */

Done.

Done. Using the abbreviation "RA" instead of "return address" aligns well with the other warnings.


For consistency I have changed the following SFrame warnings as well:

skipping SFrame FDE; CFI insn <name> (<hexval>)

skipping SFrame FDE; FP without RA on stack

skipping SFrame FDE; .cfi_window_save

I think "without" is better.
