gdb: Default to _WIN32_WINNT=0x0600 #969

stephanosio · 2025-07-21T23:29:59Z

This commit pulls in the GDB patch that sets _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0600
when not explicitly defined in the CFLAGS.

Note that, libstdc++, when building with the win32 thread model, only
supports std::mutex and std:condition_variable if _WIN32_WINNT >=
0x0600.

GDB PR: zephyrproject-rtos/binutils-gdb#18

Tested in https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/actions/runs/16438257464

Fixes #964

stephanosio · 2025-07-22T03:14:46Z

DNM until zephyrproject-rtos/binutils-gdb#18 is merged.

stephanosio · 2025-07-22T13:34:06Z

In conjunction with #974, verified that the GDB executable builds successfully and runs on Windows with no direct MinGW dependencies; also note that it links against the UCRT (ucrtbase.dll) as intended.

Reverting "workaround for issue wih gdb/mingw" and making GCC build with the sdk-build MinGW toolchain seems to have made GCC misbehave for some Xtensa targets, which is a separate issue from what this PR fixes:

This is likely a file path length issue given that it only happens with the Xtensa toolchains with longer paths ...

UPDATE

It is indeed a long path issue. The issue is locally reproducible on a Windows 10 22H2 machine; moving the toolchain directory to a shorter path makes the compilation succeed.

Based on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry, enabling system-wide long path support (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled=1) and patching the GCC executable manifest makes it work with longer paths.

This commit pulls in the GDB patch that sets `_WIN32_WINNT` to 0x0600 when not explicitly defined in the CFLAGS. Note that, libstdc++, when building with the win32 thread model, only supports std::mutex and std:condition_variable if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0600. Signed-off-by: Stephanos Ioannidis <[email protected]>
