<h3 class="section">E.4 General Query Packets</h3>
|
<a name="index-remote-query-requests"></a>
|
|
<p>Packets starting with ‘<samp>q</samp>’ are <em>general query packets</em>;
|
packets starting with ‘<samp>Q</samp>’ are <em>general set packets</em>. General
|
query and set packets are a semi-unified form for retrieving and
|
sending information to and from the stub.
|
</p>
|
<p>The initial letter of a query or set packet is followed by a name
|
indicating what sort of thing the packet applies to. For example,
|
<small>GDB</small> may use a ‘<samp>qSymbol</samp>’ packet to exchange symbol
|
definitions with the stub. These packet names follow some
|
conventions:
|
</p>
|
<ul>
|
<li> The name must not contain commas, colons or semicolons.
|
</li><li> Most <small>GDB</small> query and set packets have a leading upper case
|
letter.
|
</li><li> The names of custom vendor packets should use a company prefix, in
|
lower case, followed by a period. For example, packets designed at
|
the Acme Corporation might begin with ‘<samp>qacme.foo</samp>’ (for querying
|
foos) or ‘<samp>Qacme.bar</samp>’ (for setting bars).
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>The name of a query or set packet should be separated from any
|
parameters by a ‘<samp>:</samp>’; the parameters themselves should be
|
separated by ‘<samp>,</samp>’ or ‘<samp>;</samp>’. Stubs must be careful to match the
|
full packet name, and check for a separator or the end of the packet,
|
in case two packet names share a common prefix. New packets should not begin
|
with ‘<samp>qC</samp>’, ‘<samp>qP</samp>’, or ‘<samp>qL</samp>’<a name="DOCF20" href="#FOOT20"><sup>20</sup></a>.
|
</p>
|
<p>Like the descriptions of the other packets, each description here
|
has a template showing the packet’s overall syntax, followed by an
|
explanation of the packet’s meaning. We include spaces in some of the
|
templates for clarity; these are not part of the packet’s syntax. No
|
<small>GDB</small> packet uses spaces to separate its components.
|
</p>
|
<p>Here are the currently defined query and set packets:

|
‘<samp>WriteMem</samp>’, ‘<samp>InsertBreak</samp>’, ‘<samp>InsertTrace</samp>’,
|
‘<samp>InsertFastTrace</samp>’, and ‘<samp>Stop</samp>’. <var>val</var> is either 0,
|
indicating that <small>GDB</small> will not request the operation, or 1,
|
indicating that it may. (The target can then use this to set up its
|
own internals optimally, for instance if the debugger never expects to
|
insert breakpoints, it may not need to install its own trap handler.)

|
<p>Some target operating systems will randomize the virtual address space
|
of the inferior process as a security feature, but provide a feature
|
to disable such randomization, e.g. to allow for a more deterministic
|
debugging experience. On such systems, this packet with a <var>value</var>
|
of 1 directs the target to disable address space randomization for
|
processes subsequently started via ‘<samp>vRun</samp>’ packets, while a packet
|
with a <var>value</var> of 0 tells the target to enable address space
|
randomization.

<p>On UNIX-like targets, it is possible to start the inferior using a
|
shell program. This is the default behavior on both <small>GDB</small> and
|
<code>gdbserver</code> (see <a href="Starting.html#set-startup_002dwith_002dshell">set startup-with-shell</a>). This packet is

used to inform <code>gdbserver</code> whether it should start the

inferior using a shell or not.

</p>
|
<p>If <var>value</var> is ‘<samp>0</samp>’, <code>gdbserver</code> will not use a shell

values are considered an error.

|
<p>On UNIX-like targets, it is possible to set environment variables that
|
will be passed to the inferior during the startup process. This
|
packet is used to inform <code>gdbserver</code> of an environment
|
variable that has been defined by the user on <small>GDB</small> (see <a href="Environment.html#set-environment">set environment</a>).
|
</p>
|
<p>The packet is composed by <var>hex-value</var>, an hex encoded

representation of the <var>name=value</var> format representing an
|
environment variable. The name of the environment variable is
|
represented by <var>name</var>, and the value to be assigned to the

environment variable is represented by <var>value</var>. If the variable

has no value (i.e., the value is <code>null</code>), then <var>value</var> will

not be present.

<p>On UNIX-like targets, it is possible to unset environment variables

before starting the inferior in the remote target. This packet is

used to inform <code>gdbserver</code> of an environment variable that has

been unset by the user on <small>GDB</small> (see <a href="Environment.html#unset-environment">unset environment</a>).

<p>On UNIX-like targets, this packet is used to reset the state of

environment variables in the remote target before starting the

inferior. In this context, reset means unsetting all environment

variables that were previously set by the user (i.e., were not

initially present in the environment). It is sent to

<code>gdbserver</code> before the ‘<samp>QEnvironmentHexEncoded</samp>’

<p>Obtain a list of all active thread IDs from the target (OS). Since there

may be too many active threads to fit into one reply packet, this query
|
works iteratively: it may require more than one query/reply sequence to
|
obtain the entire list of threads. The first query of the sequence will
|
be the ‘<samp>qfThreadInfo</samp>’ query; subsequent queries in the
|
sequence will be the ‘<samp>qsThreadInfo</samp>’ query.

<p><em>Note: <small>GDB</small> will send the <code>qfThreadInfo</code> query during the

mentioned in the reply will be stopped by <small>GDB</small> in a subsequent

the <code>qfThreadInfo</code> reply is suitable for being stopped by <small>GDB</small>.</em>

Other operating environments may choose to represent the load module

differently, so the precise meaning of this parameter will vary.

</dl>
|
|
<p>Stubs should ignore any unknown values for
|
<var>gdbfeature</var>. Any <small>GDB</small> which sends a ‘<samp>qSupported</samp>’
|
packet supports receiving packets of unlimited length (earlier
|
versions of <small>GDB</small> may reject overly long responses). Additional values
|
for <var>gdbfeature</var> may be defined in the future to let the stub take
|
advantage of new features in <small>GDB</small>, e.g. incompatible
|
improvements in the remote protocol—the ‘<samp>multiprocess</samp>’ feature is
|
an example of such a feature. The stub’s reply should be independent
|
of the <var>gdbfeature</var> entries sent by <small>GDB</small>; first <small>GDB</small>
|
describes all the features it supports, and then the stub replies with
|
all the features it supports.
|
</p>
|
<p>Similarly, <small>GDB</small> will silently ignore unrecognized stub feature
|
responses, as long as each response uses one of the standard forms.
|
</p>
|
<p>Some features are flags. A stub which supports a flag feature
|
should respond with a ‘<samp>+</samp>’ form response. Other features
|
require values, and the stub should respond with an ‘<samp>=</samp>’
|
form response.
|
</p>
|
<p>Each feature has a default value, which <small>GDB</small> will use if
|
‘<samp>qSupported</samp>’ is not available or if the feature is not mentioned
|
in the ‘<samp>qSupported</samp>’ response. The default values are fixed; a
|
stub is free to omit any feature responses that match the defaults.
|
</p>
|
<p>Not all features can be probed, but for those which can, the probing
|
mechanism is useful: in some cases, a stub’s internal
|
architecture may not allow the protocol layer to know some information
|
about the underlying target in advance. This is especially common in
|
stubs which may be configured for multiple targets.

protocol extensions are supported (see <a href="#multiprocess-extensions">multiprocess extensions</a>),

<p>The ‘<samp>qP</samp>’ and ‘<samp>qL</samp>’
|
packets predate these conventions, and have arguments without any terminator
|
for the packet name; we suspect they are in widespread use in places that
|
are difficult to upgrade. The ‘<samp>qC</samp>’ packet has no arguments, but some
|
existing stubs (e.g. RedBoot) are known to not check for the end of the
|
packet.</p>
