A python exception. about gef

[hugsy]

There are a lot of problem hard to solve with the regular target command from gdb so I have implemented another which should work better: see https://gef.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features/#gef-remote-debugging

If it is still triggers exception, please provide more details.

In function context_regs(), if str(new_value)=='void' then long(new_value) will cause this exception.

@sigma-d new_value in context_regs() should never produce a string. Can you tell me how to reproduce? And also give me the output of your info reg command when this exception occurs?

Thanks.

cmdline I used:
./openwrt/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mipsel_mips32_gcc-4.8-linaro_musl-1.1.11/bin/mipsel-openwrt-linux-musl-gdb --data-directory /usr/share/gdb ./openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
./qemu-2.6.0-rc3/mipsel-softmmu/qemu-system-mipsel -gdb tcp::4321 -S -nographic -m 256 -kernel openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux-initramfs.elf

openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux-initramfs.elf can get from:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/malta/generic/

gdb version:
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.8

It looks like this issue happens after context_regs() got a value "void"(type:gdb.Value) from register "$status"

[hugsy]

It looks related to #13 (i.e. OpenWRT support) ?

If so, OWRT support is a WIP so if you can submit a patch or PR that would break with the existing arch, I'll be happy to integrate it.
