Currently size of the GDB buffer is 16384 bytes but it is treated as nul-terminated string in most of the code, so effective size of the buffer is actually 16383 bytes. OpenOCD responds with `PacketSize=3fff` to qSupported request. Result of GDB's `m` command is encoded in hex so each data byte uses two bytes in the buffer. As a result GDB will split bulk read requests into chunks 0x1fff bytes each. This causes troubles on targets (or memory regions) which support only aligned, word-sized access (such as MMIO buffers). Steps to reproduce (psoc6 target): gdb> dump binary memory dump.bin 0x040320000 (0x040320000 + 65536) OpenOCD: Error: Failed to read memory at 0x40321ffe Error: Failed to read memory at 0x40321000 Error: Failed to read memory at 0x40323000 Error: Failed to read memory at 0x40325ffe Error: Failed to read memory at 0x40329ffa Error: Failed to read memory at 0x40329ffc Error: Failed to read memory at 0x4032bffc Error: Failed to read memory at 0x4032dffa Consolidate GDB_BUFFER_SIZE usage: ensure size of each buffer is (GDB_BUFFER_SIZE + 1), add explicit comment that additional byte is used for nul-termination. Report correct size of the buffer to GDB (0x4000) as recommended in GDB's docummentation: `if the stub stores packets in a NUL-terminated format, it should allow an extra byte in its buffer for the NUL` Checked with clang-asan, clang-analyzer, valgrind - no new errors.
