I noticed that fetch_inferior_event receives the client_data parameter
from its caller, inferior_event_handler, but doesn't actually need it.
This patch removes it. In turn, inferior_event_handler doesn't use its
parameter, so remove it too.
The `data` argument used when registering
remote_async_inferior_event_handler is changed to NULL, to avoid
confusion. It could make people think that the value passed is used
somewhere, when in fact it's not.

This converts the get_inferior_io_terminal and
set_inferior_io_terminal free functions to inferior methods.
Since the related commands are called "tty", "{set,show}
inferior-tty", and MI's "-inferior-tty-{set,show}", to make the
connection between the commands and the code more obvious, the methods
are named set_tty/tty instead of set_io_terminal/io_terminal.

Currently, a user can define an alias, but cannot have default
arguments for this alias.
This patch modifies the 'alias' command so that default args can
be provided.
(gdb) h alias
Define a new command that is an alias of an existing command.
Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND [DEFAULT-ARGS...]
ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create.
COMMAND is the command being aliased to.
Options:
-a
Specify that ALIAS is an abbreviation of COMMAND.
Abbreviations are not used in command completion..
GDB will automatically prepend the provided DEFAULT-ARGS to the list
of arguments explicitly provided when using ALIAS.
Use "help aliases" to list all user defined aliases and their default args.
Examples:
Make "spe" an alias of "set print elements":
alias spe set print elements
Make "elms" an alias of "elements" in the "set print" command:
alias -a set print elms set print elements
Make "btf" an alias of "backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main" :
alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
Make "wLapPeu" an alias of 2 nested "with":
alias wLapPeu = with language pascal -- with print elements unlimited --
(gdb)
The way 'default-args' is implemented makes it trivial to set default
args also for GDB commands (such as "backtrace") and for GDB pre-defined
aliases (such as "bt"). It was however deemed better to not allow to
define default arguments for pre-defined commands and aliases, to avoid
users believing that e.g. default args for "backtrace" would apply to "bt".
If needed, default-args could be allowed for GDB predefined commands
and aliases by adding a command
'set default-args GDB_COMMAND_OR_PREDEFINED_ALIAS [DEFAULT-ARGS...]'.
* 'alias' command now has a completer that helps to complete:
- ALIAS (if the user defines an alias after a prefix),
- the aliased COMMAND
- the possible options for the aliased COMMAND.
* Help and apropos commands show the definitions of the aliases
that have default arguments, e.g.
(gdb) help backtrace
backtrace, btf, where, bt
alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
Usage: backtrace [OPTION]... [QUALIFIER]... [COUNT | -COUNT]
Options:
-entry-values no|only|preferred|if-needed|both|compact|default
Set printing of function arguments at function entry.

Adapt the construct_inferior_arguments function to
take a gdb::array_view<char * const> parameter instead

Change-Id: I1c6496c8c0b0eb3ef3fda96e9e3bd64c5e6cac3c
Allow construct_inferior_arguments to handle zero args
and have it return a std::string, similar to how
stringify_argv in gdbsupport/common-utils does.
Also, add a const qualifier for the second parameter,
since it is only read, not written to.
The intention is to replace existing uses of
stringify_argv by construct_inferior_arguments
in a subsequent step, since construct_inferior_arguments
properly handles special characters, while stringify_argv
doesn't.

This commit finally does the (small) change that started this patch
series.
It ensures that the class_alias is only used for user-defined aliases.
So, the few GDB pre-defined aliases that were using the 'class_alias'
class are now using a real help class, typically the class of
the aliased command.

Remove TYPE_CODE, changing all the call sites to use type::code
directly. This is quite a big diff, but this was mostly done using sed
and coccinelle. A few call sites were done by hand.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_CODE): Remove. Change all call sites to use
type::code instead.
Currently there are many prefix commands that do nothing but call
either help_list or cmd_show_list. I happened to notice that one such
call, for "set print type", used the wrong command list parameter,
causing incorrect output.
Rather than fix this bug in isolation, I decided to eliminate this
possibility by adding two new ways to add prefix commands, which
simply route the call to help_list or cmd_show_list, as appropriate.
This makes it impossible for a mismatch to occur.
In some cases, a bit of output was removed; however, I don't think
this output in general was very useful. It seemed redundant with
what's already printed by help_list. A representative example is this
hunk, removed from ada-lang.c:
- printf_unfiltered (_(\
-"\"set ada\" must be followed by the name of a setting.\n"));
This simplified the CLI style set/show commands quite a bit, and
allowed the deletion of a macro.
This also cleans up some unusual code in windows-tdep.c.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 30. Note that I have no way to build the
go32-nat.c change.

[ Migrating this from Gerrit: https://gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io/r/c/binutils-gdb/+/321 ]
I noticed that some functions in infcmd and infrun call each other and
all call inferior_thread, while they could just get the thread_info
pointer from their caller. That means less calls to inferior_thread, so
less reliance on global state, since inferior_thread reads
inferior_ptid.
The paths I am unsure about are:
- fetch_inferior_event calls...
- step_command_fsm::should_stop calls...
- prepare_one_step
and
- process_event_stop_test calls...
- set_step_info
Before this patch, prepare_one_step gets the thread pointer using
inferior_thread. After this patch, it gets it from the
execution_control_state structure in fetch_inferior_event. Are we sure
that the thread from the execution_control_state structure is the same
as the one inferior_thread would return? This code path is used when a
thread completes a step, but the user had specified a step count (e.g.
"step 5") so we decide to do one more step. It would be strange (and
even a bug I suppose) if the thread in the ecs structure in
fetch_inferior_event was not the same thread that is prepared to stepped
by prepare_one_step. So I believe passing the ecs thread is fine.
The same logic applies to process_event_stop_test calling
set_step_info.

While testing a GCC 10 build of our git HEAD, Sergio noticed an error
triggered by -Werror-stringop on
infcmd.c:construct_inferior_arguments. One of the things the function
does is calculate the length of the string that will hold the
inferior's arguments. GCC warns us that 'length' can be 0, which can
lead to undesired behaviour:
../../gdb/infcmd.c: In function 'char* construct_inferior_arguments(int, char**)':
../../gdb/infcmd.c:369:17: error: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
369 | result[0] = '\0';
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
../../gdb/infcmd.c:368:33: note: at offset 0 to an object with size 0 allocated by 'xmalloc' here
368 | result = (char *) xmalloc (length);
| ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~
The solution here is to assert that 'argc' is greater than 0 on entry,
which makes GCC understand that the loops always run at least once,
and thus 'length' is always > 0.
Tested by rebuilding.

This option allows to tell GDB to detect and possibly handle mismatched exec-files.
A recurrent problem with GDB is that GDB uses the wrong exec-file
when using the attach/detach commands successively.
Also, in case the user specifies a file on the command line but attaches
to the wrong PID, this error is not made visible and gives a not user
understandable behaviour.
For example:
$ gdb

And it is unclear to the user what has happened/what is going wrong.
This patch series implements a new option:
(gdb) apropos exec-file-mismatch
set exec-file-mismatch -- Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
show exec-file-mismatch -- Show exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
(gdb) help set exec-file-mismatch
Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
Specifies how to handle a mismatch between the current exec-file name
loaded by GDB and the exec-file name automatically determined when attaching
to a process:
ask - warn the user and ask whether to load the determined exec-file.
warn - warn the user, but do not change the exec-file.
off - do not check for mismatch.
"ask" means: in case of mismatch between the current exec-file name
and the automatically determined exec-file name of the PID we are attaching to,
give a warning to the user and ask whether to load the automatically determined
exec-file.
"warn" means: in case of mismatch, just give a warning to the user.
"off" means: do not check for mismatch.
This fixes PR gdb/17626.
There was a previous trial to fix this PR.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00118.html
This trial was however only fixing the problem for the automatically
determined executable files when doing attach.
It was differentiating the 'user specified executable files' ("sticky")
from the executable files automatically found by GDB.
But such user specified sticky executables are in most cases due
to a wrong manipulation by the user, giving unexpected results
such as backtrace showing no function like in the above example.
This patch ensures that whenever a process executable can be
determined, that the user is warned if there is a mismatch.
The same tests as above then give:

In other words, it now works as intuitively expected by the user.
If ever the user gave the correct executable on the command line,
then attached to the wrong pid, then confirmed loading the wrong executable,
the user can simply fix this by detaching, and attaching to the correct pid,
GDB will then tell again to the user that the exec-file might better
be loaded.
The default value of "ask" is chosen instead of e.g. "warn" as in most
cases, switching of executable will be the correct action,
and in any case, the user can decide to not load the executable,
as GDB asks a confirmation to the user to load the new executable.
For settings "ask" and "warn", the new function validate_exec_file ()
tries to get the inferior pid exec file and compares it with the current
exec file. In case of mismatch, it warns the user and optionally load
the executable.
This function is called in the attach_command implementation to cover
most cases of attaching to a running process.
It must also be called in remote.c, as the attach command is not supported
for all types of remote gdbserver.

* exec.c (exec_file_mismatch_names, exec_file_mismatch_mode)
(show_exec_file_mismatch_command, set_exec_file_mismatch_command)
(validate_exec_file): New variables, enums, functions.
(exec_file_locate_attach, print_section_info): Style the filenames.
(_initialize_exec): Install show_exec_file_mismatch_command and

* gdbcore.h (validate_exec_file): Declare.
* infcmd.c (attach_command): Call validate_exec_file.
* remote.c ( remote_target::remote_add_inferior): Likewise.
In post_create_inferior, we get the current thread using the
inferior_thread function and store it in `thr`. We then call
get_current_regcache immediately after, which does:
return get_thread_regcache (inferior_thread ());
This patch makes post_create_inferior use get_thread_regcache, passing
`thr`, saving an unnecessary inferior_thread call.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infcmd.c (post_create_inferior): Use get_thread_regcache
instead of get_current_regcache.
This commit adds multi-target support to GDB. What this means is that
with this commit, GDB can now be connected to different targets at the
same time. E.g., you can debug a live native process and a core dump
at the same time, connect to multiple gdbservers, etc.
Actually, the word "target" is overloaded in gdb. We already have a
target stack, with pushes several target_ops instances on top of one
another. We also have "info target" already, which means something
completely different to what this patch does.
So from here on, I'll be using the "target connections" term, to mean
an open process_stratum target, pushed on a target stack. This patch
makes gdb have multiple target stacks, and multiple process_stratum
targets open simultaneously. The user-visible changes / commands will
also use this terminology, but of course it's all open to debate.
User-interface-wise, not that much changes. The main difference is
that each inferior may have its own target connection.
A target connection (e.g., a target extended-remote connection) may
support debugging multiple processes, just as before.
Say you're debugging against gdbserver in extended-remote mode, and
you do "add-inferior" to prepare to spawn a new process, like:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) file a.out
...
(gdb) start
...
At this point, you have two inferiors connected to the same gdbserver.
With this commit, GDB will maintain a target stack per inferior,
instead of a global target stack.
To preserve the behavior above, by default, "add-inferior" makes the
new inferior inherit a copy of the target stack of the current
inferior. Same across a fork - the child inherits a copy of the
target stack of the parent. While the target stacks are copied, the
targets themselves are not. Instead, target_ops is made a
refcounted_object, which means that target_ops instances are
refcounted, which each inferior counting for a reference.
What if you want to create an inferior and connect it to some _other_
target? For that, this commit introduces a new "add-inferior
-no-connection" option that makes the new inferior not share the
current inferior's target. So you could do:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
Remote debugging using :9999
...
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 <null>
(gdb) tar extended-remote :10000
Remote debugging using :10000
...
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable

* 2 process 18450 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
(gdb)
A following patch will extended "info inferiors" to include a column
indicating which connection an inferior is bound to, along with a
couple other UI tweaks.
Other than that, debugging is the same as before. Users interact with
inferiors and threads as before. The only difference is that
inferiors may be bound to processes running in different machines.
That's pretty much all there is to it in terms of noticeable UI
changes.
On to implementation.
Since we can be connected to different systems at the same time, a
ptid_t is no longer a unique identifier. Instead a thread can be
identified by a pair of ptid_t and 'process_stratum_target *', the
later being the instance of the process_stratum target that owns the
process/thread. Note that process_stratum_target inherits from
target_ops, and all process_stratum targets inherit from
process_stratum_target. In earlier patches, many places in gdb were
converted to refer to threads by thread_info pointer instead of
ptid_t, but there are still places in gdb where we start with a
pid/tid and need to find the corresponding inferior or thread_info
objects. So you'll see in the patch many places adding a
process_stratum_target parameter to functions that used to take only a
ptid_t.
Since each inferior has its own target stack now, we can always find
the process_stratum target for an inferior. That is done via a
inf->process_target() convenience method.
Since each inferior has its own target stack, we need to handle the
"beneath" calls when servicing target calls. The solution I settled
with is just to make sure to switch the current inferior to the
inferior you want before making a target call. Not relying on global
context is just not feasible in current GDB. Fortunately, there
aren't that many places that need to do that, because generally most
code that calls target methods already has the current context
pointing to the right inferior/thread. Note, to emphasize -- there's
no method to "switch to this target stack". Instead, you switch the
current inferior, and that implicitly switches the target stack.
In some spots, we need to iterate over all inferiors so that we reach
all target stacks.
Native targets are still singletons. There's always only a single
instance of such targets.
Remote targets however, we'll have one instance per remote connection.
The exec target is still a singleton. There's only one instance. I
did not see the point of instanciating more than one exec_target
object.
After vfork, we need to make sure to push the exec target on the new
inferior. See exec_on_vfork.
For type safety, functions that need a {target, ptid} pair to identify
a thread, take a process_stratum_target pointer for target parameter
instead of target_ops *. Some shared code in gdb/nat/ also need to
gain a target pointer parameter. This poses an issue, since gdbserver
doesn't have process_stratum_target, only target_ops. To fix this,
this commit renames gdbserver's target_ops to process_stratum_target.
I think this makes sense. There's no concept of target stack in
gdbserver, and gdbserver's target_ops really implements a
process_stratum-like target.
The thread and inferior iterator functions also gain
process_stratum_target parameters. These are used to be able to
iterate over threads and inferiors of a given target. Following usual
conventions, if the target pointer is null, then we iterate over
threads and inferiors of all targets.
I tried converting "add-inferior" to the gdb::option framework, as a
preparatory patch, but that stumbled on the fact that gdb::option does
not support file options yet, for "add-inferior -exec". I have a WIP
patchset that adds that, but it's not a trivial patch, mainly due to
need to integrate readline's filename completion, so I deferred that
to some other time.
In infrun.c/infcmd.c, the main change is that we need to poll events
out of all targets. See do_target_wait. Right after collecting an
event, we switch the current inferior to an inferior bound to the
target that reported the event, so that target methods can be used
while handling the event. This makes most of the code transparent to
multi-targets. See fetch_inferior_event.
infrun.c:stop_all_threads is interesting -- in this function we need
to stop all threads of all targets. What the function does is send an
asynchronous stop request to all threads, and then synchronously waits
for events, with target_wait, rinse repeat, until all it finds are
stopped threads. Now that we have multiple targets, it's not
efficient to synchronously block in target_wait waiting for events out
of one target. Instead, we implement a mini event loop, with
interruptible_select, select'ing on one file descriptor per target.
For this to work, we need to be able to ask the target for a waitable
file descriptor. Such file descriptors already exist, they are the
descriptors registered in the main event loop with add_file_handler,
inside the target_async implementations. This commit adds a new
target_async_wait_fd target method that just returns the file
descriptor in question. See wait_one / stop_all_threads in infrun.c.
The 'threads_executing' global is made a per-target variable. Since
it is only relevant to process_stratum_target targets, this is where
it is put, instead of in target_ops.
You'll notice that remote.c includes some FIXME notes. These refer to
the fact that the global arrays that hold data for the remote packets
supported are still globals. For example, if we connect to two
different servers/stubs, then each might support different remote
protocol features. They might even be different architectures, like
e.g., one ARM baremetal stub, and a x86 gdbserver, to debug a
host/controller scenario as a single program. That isn't going to
work correctly today, because of said globals. I'm leaving fixing
that for another pass, since it does not appear to be trivial, and I'd
rather land the base work first. It's already useful to be able to
debug multiple instances of the same server (e.g., a distributed
cluster, where you have full control over the servers installed), so I
think as is it's already reasonable incremental progress.
Current limitations:
- You can only resume more that one target at the same time if all
targets support asynchronous debugging, and support non-stop mode.
It should be possible to support mixed all-stop + non-stop
backends, but that is left for another time. This means that
currently in order to do multi-target with gdbserver you need to
issue "maint set target-non-stop on". I would like to make that
mode be the default, but we're not there yet. Note that I'm
talking about how the target backend works, only. User-visible
all-stop mode works just fine.
- As explained above, connecting to different remote servers at the
same time is likely to produce bad results if they don't support the
exact set of RSP features.

I believe this comment:
/* Killing off the inferior can leave us with a core file. If
so, print the state we are left in. */
Referred to the fact that a decade ago, by design, GDB would let you
type "run" when debugging a core dump, keeping the core open. That
"run" would push a process_stratum target on the target stack for the
live process, and, the core would remain open -- we used to have a
core_stratum. When the live process was killed/detached or exited,
GDB would go back to debugging the core, since the core_stratum target
was now at the top of the stack. That design had a number of
problems, see here for example:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-08/msg00290.html
In 2010, core_stratum was finaly eliminated and cores now have
process_stratum too, with commit c0edd9edad ("Make core files the
process_stratum."). Pushing a live process on the stack while you're
debugging a core discards the core completely.
I also thought that this might be in use with checkpoints, but it does
not -- "kill" when you have multiple checkpoints kills all the
checkpoints.

* infcmd.c (kill_command): Remove dead code.
This makes the skip command work in optimized builds, where skipped
functions may be inlined. Previously that was only working when
stepping into a non-inlined function.
- Rationale:
It is possible for compilers to indicate the desired byte order
interpretation of scalar variables using the DWARF attribute:
DW_AT_endianity
A type flagged with this variable would typically use one of:
DW_END_big
DW_END_little
which instructs the debugger what the desired byte order interpretation
of the variable should be.
The GCC compiler (as of V6) has a mechanism for setting the desired byte
ordering of the fields within a structure or union. For, example, on a
little endian target, a structure declared as:
struct big {
int v;
short a[4];
} __attribute__( ( scalar_storage_order( "big-endian" ) ) );
could be used to ensure all the structure members have a big-endian
interpretation (the compiler would automatically insert byte swap
instructions before and after respective store and load instructions).
- To reproduce
GCC V8 is required to correctly emit DW_AT_endianity DWARF attributes
in all situations when the scalar_storage_order attribute is used.
A fix for (dwarf endianity instrumentation) for GCC V6-V7 can be found
in the URL field of the following PR:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82509
- Test-case:
A new test case (testsuite/gdb.base/endianity.*) is included with this
patch.
Manual testing for mixed endianity code has also been done with GCC V8.
See:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82509#c4
- Observed vs. expected:
Without this change, using scalar_storage_order that doesn't match the
target, such as
struct otherendian
{
int v;
} __attribute__( ( scalar_storage_order( "big-endian" ) ) );
would behave like the following on a little endian target:
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401135: file endianity.c, line 41.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/pjoot/freeware/t/a.out
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.17-292.el7.x86_64

41 struct otherendian o = {3};

(gdb) p o
$1 = {v = 50331648}
(gdb) p /x
$2 = {v = 0x3000000}
whereas with this gdb enhancement we can access the variable with the user
specified endianity:
Breakpoint 1, main () at endianity.c:41
41 struct otherendian o = {3};
(gdb) p o
$1 = {v = 0}
(gdb) n
43 do_nothing (&o); /* START */

$2 = {v = 3}
(gdb) p o.v = 4
$3 = 4
(gdb) p o.v
$4 = 4
(gdb) x/4xb &o.v
0x7fffffffd90c: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x04
(observe that the 4 byte int variable has a big endian representation in the
hex dump.)

startup_with_shell was changed to be of "bool" type, but I noticed
that the definition in gdbserver disagreed. This disagreement caused
some regressions on a big-endian machine.
This patch removes the redundant declaration and definition of
startup_with_shell and ensures that such clashes will be diagnosed.
This moves the declaration to common-inferior.h, and introduces a new
common-inferior.c, as suggested by Pedro.

This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

I noticed recently that some command had a trailing newline in its
"help" output. So, I temporarily hacked cli-decode.c to print
something when a new command was installed that had a trailing newline
in its help message, and wrote this patch, which removes all the ones
I could find this way. (There could still be a few more in *-nat
files.)
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.

Adds an utility function to make it shorter to write the common case
of wrapping an xstrdup with a unique_xmalloc_ptr, and uses it
throughout.
Note: I tried to put this in common/common-utils.h near skip_spaces,
etc. but that is included in common/common-defs.h before
common/gdb_unique_ptr.h is included, so it would fail to compile
because gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr isn't defined at that point yet. I
tried moving the gdb_unique_ptr.h inclusion before common-utils.h, but
that doesn't work because gdb_unique_ptr.h depends on common-utils.h
for xfree.

A user wanted to be able to disable the display of the value when
using "finish" -- but still have the value entered into the value
history in case it was useful later on. Part of the rationale here is
that sometimes the value might be quite large, or expensive to display
(in their case this was compounded by a rogue pretty-printer).
This patch implements this idea.

When using the "start" command, GDB puts a temporary breakpoint on the
"main" symbol (we literally invoke the tbreak command). However, since
it does wild matching by default, it also puts a breakpoint on any C++
method or "main" function in a namespace. For example, when debugging
GDB, it creates a total of 24 locations:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x198c1e9: main. (24 locations)
as there are a bunch of methods called main in the selftests, such as
selftests::string_view::capacity_1::main()
If such method was called in the constructor of a global object, or a
function marked with the attribute "constructor", then we would stop at
the wrong place. Also, this causes a few extra symtabs (those that
contain the "wrong" mains) to be expanded for nothing.
The dummiest, most straightforward solution is to add -qualified when
invoking tbreak. With this patch, "start" creates a single-location
breakpoint, as expected.
I copied the start.exp test to start-cpp.exp and made it use a C++ test
file, which contains two main functions. The new test verifies that the
output of "start" is the output we get when we set a single-location
breakpoint.

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
As preparation for multi-target, this patch makes each inferior have
its own thread list.
This isn't absolutely necessary for multi-target, but simplifies
things. It originally stemmed from the desire to eliminate the
init_thread_list calls sprinkled around, plus it makes it more
efficient to iterate over threads of a given inferior (no need to
always iterate over threads of all inferiors).
We still need to iterate over threads of all inferiors in a number of
places, which means we'd need adjust the ALL_THREADS /
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS macros. However, naively tweaking those macros
to have an extra for loop, like:
#define ALL_THREADS (thr, inf) \
for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next) \
for (thr = inf->thread_list; thr; thr = thr->next)
causes problems with code that does "break" or "continue" within the
ALL_THREADS loop body. Plus, we need to declare the extra "inf" local
variable in order to pass it as temporary variable to ALL_THREADS
(etc.)
It gets even trickier when we consider extending the macros to filter
out threads matching a ptid_t and a target. The macros become tricker
to read/write. Been there.
An alternative (which was my next attempt), is to replace the
ALL_THREADS etc. iteration style with for_each_all_threads,
for_each_non_exited_threads, etc. functions which would take a
callback as parameter, which would usually be passed a lambda.
However, I did not find that satisfactory at all, because the
resulting code ends up a little less natural / more noisy to read,
write and debug/step-through (due to use of lambdas), and in many
places where we use "continue;" to skip to the next thread now need to
use "return;". (I ran into hard to debug bugs caused by a
continue/return confusion.)
I.e., before:
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS (tp)
{
if (tp->not_what_I_want)
continue;
// do something
}
would turn into:
for_each_non_exited_thread ([&] (thread_info *tp)
{
if (tp->not_what_I_want)
return;
// do something
});
Lastly, the solution I settled with was to replace the ALL_THREADS /
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS / ALL_INFERIORS macros with (C++20-like) ranges
and iterators, such that you can instead naturaly iterate over
threads/inferiors using range-for, like e.g,.:
// all threads, including THREAD_EXITED threads.
for (thread_info *tp : all_threads ())
{ .... }
// all non-exited threads.
for (thread_info *tp : all_non_exited_threads ())
{ .... }
// all non-exited threads of INF inferior.
for (thread_info *tp : inf->non_exited_threads ())
{ .... }
The all_non_exited_threads() function takes an optional filter ptid_t as
parameter, which is quite convenient when we need to iterate over
threads matching that filter. See e.g., how the
set_executing/set_stop_requested/finish_thread_state etc. functions in
thread.c end up being simplified.
Most of the patch thus is about adding the infrustructure for allowing
the above. Later on when we get to actual multi-target, these
functions/ranges/iterators will gain a "target_ops *" parameter so
that e.g., we can iterate over all threads of a given target that
match a given filter ptid_t.
The only entry points users needs to be aware of are the
all_threads/all_non_exited_threads etc. functions seen above. Thus,
those functions are declared in gdbthread.h/inferior.h. The actual
iterators/ranges are mainly "internals" and thus are put out of view
in the new thread-iter.h/thread-iter.c/inferior-iter.h files. That
keeps the gdbthread.h/inferior.h headers quite a bit more readable.
A common/safe-iterator.h header is added which adds a template that
can be used to build "safe" iterators, which are forward iterators
that can be used to replace the ALL_THREADS_SAFE macro and other
instances of the same idiom in future.
There's a little bit of shuffling of code between
gdbthread.h/thread.c/inferior.h in the patch. That is necessary in
order to avoid circular dependencies between the
gdbthread.h/inferior.h headers.
As for the init_thread_list calls sprinkled around, they're all
eliminated by this patch, and a new, central call is added to
inferior_appeared. Note how also related to that, there's a call to
init_wait_for_inferior in remote.c that is eliminated.
init_wait_for_inferior is currently responsible for discarding skipped
inline frames, which had to be moved elsewhere. Given that nowadays
we always have a thread even for single-threaded processes, the
natural place is to delete a frame's inline frame info when we delete
the thread. I.e., from clear_thread_inferior_resources.

Remove "running" in a few places since "info proc" can be used with
core dumps as well as running processes on both Linux and FreeBSD.
Use "the specified process" in the description of most "info proc"
subcommands.
Use "additional information" instead of "/proc process information" in
the "info proc" description to more closely match the language in the
manual.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infcmd.c (_initialize_infcmd): Remove "running" from "info proc"
description. Make "info proc" command descriptions more
consistent.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (info proc): Remove "running".
(info proc mappings): Replace "program" with "process".
This command displays a list of open file descriptors.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* defs.h (enum info_proc_what) [IP_FILES]: New value.
* infcmd.c (info_proc_cmd_files): New function.
(_initialize_infcmd): Register 'info proc files' command.
I noticed that get_inferior_args should return const char *, because
it is just returning a reference to something owned by the inferior.
I'm checking this in.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-09-15 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* infcmd.c (get_inferior_args): Return const char *.
* inferior.h (get_inferior_args): Return type now const.
* linux-tdep.c (linux_fill_prpsinfo): Update.
* procfs.c (procfs_target::make_corefile_notes): Update.
This change/patch substitues BLOCK_ENTRY_PC for BLOCK_START in
places where BLOCK_START is used to obtain the address at which
execution should enter the block. Since blocks can now contain
non-contiguous ranges, the BLOCK_START - which is still be the
very lowest address in the block - might not be the same as
BLOCK_ENTRY_PC.
There is a change to infrun.c which is less obvious and less mechanical.
I'm posting it as a separate patch.

BLOCK_START.
