They appear in backtraces. You can view their +arguments and local variables, step into them with <code>step</code>, skip +them with <code>next</code>, and escape from them with <code>finish</code>. +You can check whether a function was inlined by using the +<code>info frame</code> command. +</p> +<p>For <small>GDB</small> to support inlined functions, the compiler must +record information about inlining in the debug information — +<small>GCC</small> using the <small>DWARF 2</small> format does this, and several +other compilers do also. <small>GDB</small> only supports inlined functions +when using <small>DWARF 2</small>. Versions of <small>GCC</small> before 4.1 +do not emit two required attributes (‘<samp>DW_AT_call_file</samp>’ and +‘<samp>DW_AT_call_line</samp>’); <small>GDB</small> does not display inlined +function calls with earlier versions of <small>GCC</small>. It instead +displays the arguments and local variables of inlined functions as +local variables in the caller. +</p> +<p>The body of an inlined function is directly included at its call site; +unlike a non-inlined function, there are no instructions devoted to +the call. <small>GDB</small> still pretends that the call site and the +start of the inlined function are different instructions. Stepping to +the call site shows the call site, and then stepping again shows +the first line of the inlined function, even though no additional +instructions are executed. +</p> +<p>This makes source-level debugging much clearer; you can see both the +context of the call and then the effect of the call. Only stepping by +a single instruction using <code>stepi</code> or <code>nexti</code> does not do +this; single instruction steps always show the inlined body. +</p> +<p>There are some ways that <small>GDB</small> does not pretend that inlined +function calls are the same as normal calls: +</p> +<ul> +<li> Setting breakpoints at the call site of an inlined function may not +work, because the call site does not contain any code. <small>GDB</small> +may incorrectly move the breakpoint to the next line of the enclosing +function, after the call. This limitation will be removed in a future +version of <small>GDB</small>; until then, set a breakpoint on an earlier line +or inside the inlined function instead. + +</li><li> <small>GDB</small> cannot locate the return value of inlined calls after +using the <code>finish</code> command. This is a limitation of compiler-generated +debugging information; after <code>finish</code>, you can step to the next line +and print a variable where your program stored the return value. + +</li></ul> + +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Tail-Call-Frames.html#Tail-Call-Frames" accesskey="n" rel="next">Tail Call Frames</a>, Up: <a href="Optimized-Code.html#Optimized-Code" accesskey="u" rel="up">Optimized Code</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Concept-Index.html#Concept-Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
