The OpenOCD commands that have been wrapped with 'ocd_bouncer' are
executed within two levels of nested proc's:
# see register_command_handler() in src/helper/command.c
proc my_command {args} {eval ocd_bouncer my_command $args}
# see ocd_bouncer in src/helper/startup.tcl
proc ocd_bouncer {name args} {
... [eval ocd_my_command $args] ...
}
This causes the stack frame of 'ocd_my_command' to be the same one
of proc 'ocd_bouncer', thus two levels below the stack frame of the
caller of 'my_command'. This is an issue with commands that receive
a variable by name and have to resolve them to access the value.
E.g. the command
<target> mem2array arrayname bitwidth address count
is wrapped; it receives the name of the array but fails to resolve
it in the current stack frame. Instead, the commands
mem2array arrayname bitwidth address count
ocd_<target> mem2array arrayname bitwidth address count
are not wrapped and can directly access the array because they share
the same stack frame of the caller.
Same situation with the symmetric commands 'array2mem'.
How to test:
within a telnet connection, run the following set of commands,
eventually replacing the address 0x08000000 with a valid readable
address of your <target>,
unset -nocomplain v1 v2 v3
info vars v?
mem2array v1 32 0x08000000 1
<target> mem2array v2 32 0x08000000 1
ocd_<target> mem2array v3 32 0x08000000 1
info vars v?
and notice that only v1 and v3 are now allocated. The array v2 has
been allocated in the temporarily stack frame of proc ocd_bouncer,
together with its local variables, and then lost when proc ended.
Fixed by executing the wrapped commands with the command 'uplevel'
instead of 'eval'. The amount of levels to skip is checked to avoid
errors in the unusual case 'ocd_bouncer' is called directly without
the first level of wrapper.
