* NEWS: Move the description of the changed "frame", "select-frame",
and "info frame" commands to the Changed commands section.
An upcoming sync with gcc's libiberty [1] will remove support for old
mangling schemes (GNU v2, Lucid, ARM, HP and EDG). It will remove the
cplus_demangle_opname function, so we need to get rid of its usages in
GDB (it's a GNU v2 specific function).
I think the changes are mostly relatively obvious, some hacks that were
necessary to support overloaded operators with GNU v2 mangling are not
needed anymore.
The change in stabsread.c is perhaps less obvious. I think we could get
rid of more code in that region that is specific to old mangling
schemes, but I chose to do only the minimal changes required to remove
the cplus_demangle_opname uses. There is also a detailed comment just
above that explaining how GNU v2 and v3 mangled symbols are handled, I
decided to leave it as-is, since I wasn't sure which part to remove,
change or leave there.

When setting a syscall catchpoint by name, catch syscalls whose name
or alias matches the requested string.
When the ABI of a system call is changed in the FreeBSD kernel, this
is implemented by leaving a compatibility system call using the old
ABI at the existing "slot" and allocating a new system call for the
version using the new ABI. For example, new fields were added to the
'struct kevent' used by the kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12. The
previous kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12 kernels is now called
freebsd11_kevent() and is still used by older binaries compiled
against the older ABI. The freebsd11_kevent() system call can be
tagged with an "alias" attribute of "kevent" permitting 'catch syscall
kevent' to catch both system calls and providing the expected user
behavior for both old and new binaries. It also provides the expected
behavior if GDB is compiled on an older host (such as a FreeBSD 11
host).

This commit adds target description support for riscv.
I've used the split feature approach for specifying the architectural
features, and the CSR feature is auto-generated from the riscv-opc.h
header file.
If the target doesn't provide a suitable target description then GDB
will build one by looking at the bfd headers.
This commit does not implement target description creation for the
Linux or FreeBSD native targets, both of these will need to add
read_description methods into their respective target classes, which
probe the target features, and then call
riscv_create_target_description to build a suitable target
description. Until this is done Linux and FreeBSD will get the same
default target description based on the bfd that bare-metal targets
get.
I've only added feature descriptions for 32 and 64 bit registers, 128
bit registers (for RISC-V) are not supported in the reset of GDB yet.
This commit removes the special reading of the MISA register in order
to establish the target features, this was only used for figuring out
the f-register size, and even that wasn't done consistently. We now
rely on the target to tell us what size of registers it has (or look
in the BFD as a last resort). The result of this is that we should
now support RV64 targets with 32-bit float, though I have not
extensively tested this combination yet.

This patch adds support for Hardware Transactional Memory registers
for the powerpc linux native and core file targets, and for the
pwoerpc linux server stub.
These registers include both the HTM special-purpose registers (TFHAR,
TEXASR and TFIAR) as well as the set of registers that are
checkpointed (saved) when a transaction is initiated, which the
processor restores in the event of a transaction failure.
The set of checkpointed general-purpose registers is returned by the
linux kernel in the same format as the regular general-purpose
registers, defined in struct pt_regs. However, the architecture
specifies that only some of the registers present in pt_regs are
checkpointed (GPRs 0-31, CR, XER, LR and CTR). The kernel fills the
slots for MSR and NIP with other info. The other fields usually don't
have meaningful values. GDB doesn't define registers that are not
checkpointed in the architecture, but when generating a core file, GDB
fills the slot for the checkpointed MSR with the regular MSR. These
are usually similar, although some bits might be different, and in
some cases the checkpointed MSR will have a value of 0 in a
kernel-generated core-file. The checkpointed NIP is filled with TFHAR
by GDB in the core-file, which is what the kernel does. The other
fields are set to 0 by GDB.
Core files generated by the kernel have a note section for
checkpointed GPRs with the same size for both 32-bit and 64-bit
threads, and the values for the registers of a 32-bit thread are
squeezed in the first half, with no useful data in the second half.
GDB generates a smaller note section for 32-bit threads, but can read
both sizes.
The checkpointed XER is required to be 32-bit in the target
description documentation, even though the more recent ISAs define it
as 64-bit wide, since the high-order 32-bits are reserved, and because
in Linux there is no way to get a 64-bit checkpointed XER for 32-bit
threads. If this changes in the future, the target description
feature requirement can be relaxed to allow for a 64-bit checkpointed
XER.
Access to the checkpointed CR (condition register) can be confusing.
The architecture only specifies that CR fields 1 to 7 (the 24 least
significant bits) are checkpointed, but the kernel provides all 8
fields (32 bits). The value of field 0 is not masked by ptrace, so it
will sometimes show the result of some kernel operation, probably
treclaim., which sets this field.
The checkpointed registers are marked not to be saved and restored.
Inferior function calls during an active transaction don't work well,
and it's unclear what should be done in this case. TEXASR and TFIAR
can be altered asynchronously, during transaction failure recording,
so they are also not saved and restored. For consistency neither is
TFHAR.
Record and replay also doesn't work well when transactions are
involved. This patch doesn't address this, so the values of the HTM
SPRs will sometimes be innacurate when the record/relay target is
enabled. For instance, executing a "tbegin." alters TFHAR and TEXASR,
but these changes are not currently recorded.
Because the checkpointed registers are only available when a
transaction is active (or suspended), ptrace can return ENODATA when
gdb tries to read these registers and the inferior is not in a
transactional state. The registers are set to the unavailable state
when this happens. When gbd tries to write to one of these registers,
and it is unavailable, an error is raised.
The "fill" functions for checkpointed register sets in the server stub
are not implemented for the same reason as for the EBB register set,
since ptrace can also return ENODATA for checkpointed regsets. The
same issues with 'G' packets apply here.
Just like for the EBB registers, tracepoints will not mark the
checkpointed registers as unavailable if the inferior was not in a
transaction, so their content will also show 0 instead of
<unavailable> when inspecting trace data.
The new tests record the values of the regular registers before
stepping the inferior through a "tbegin." instruction to start a
transaction, then the checkpointed registers are checked against the
recorded pre-transactional values. New values are written to the
checkpointed registers and recorded, the inferior continues until the
transaction aborts (which is usually immediately when it is resumed),
and the regular registers are checked against the recorded values,
because the abort should have reverted the registers to these values.
Like for the EBB registers, target_store_registers will ignore the
checkpointed registers when called with -1 as the regno
argument (store all registers in one go).

In the distant past, there was no distinction between domain_enum and
search_domain. At that point, there were two sets of enumerators in a
single enum -- which is why these were eventually split. This
confusion leaked out to the Python API as well, as noted in
PR python/21765.
This patch deprecates the constants that aren't useful to the Python
API. They are left in place for now, but removed from the
documentation. Also, their values are changed so that, if used, they
might work. Finally, missing domains and location constants are
added.

The 'frame' command, and thanks to code reuse the 'info frame' and
'select-frame' commands, currently have an overloaded mechanism for
selecting a frame.
These commands take one or two parameters, if it's one parameter then
we first try to use the parameter as an integer to select a frame by
level (or depth in the stack). If that fails then we treat the
parameter as an address and try to select a stack frame by
stack-address. If we still have not selected a stack frame, or we
initially had two parameters, then GDB allows the user to view a stack
frame that is not part of the current backtrace. Internally, a new
frame is created with the given stack and pc addresses, and this is
shown to the user.
The result of this is that a typo by the user, entering the wrong stack
frame level for example, can result in a brand new frame being viewed
rather than an error.
The purpose of this commit is to remove this overloading, while still
offering the same functionality through some new sub-commands. By
making the default behaviour of 'frame' (and friends) be to select a
stack frame by level index, it is hoped that enough
backwards-compatibility is maintained that users will not be overly
inconvenienced.
The 'frame', 'select-frame', and 'info frame' commands now all take a
frame specification string as an argument, this string can be any of the
following:
(1) An integer. This is treated as a frame level. If a frame for
that level does not exist then the user gets an error.
(2) A string like 'level <LEVEL>', where <LEVEL> is a frame level
as in option (1) above.
(3) A string like 'address <STACK-ADDRESS>', where <STACK-ADDRESS>
is a stack-frame address. If there is no frame for this address
then the user gets an error.
(4) A string like 'function <NAME>', where <NAME> is a function name,
the inner most frame for function <NAME> is selected. If there is no
frame for function <NAME> then the user gets an error.
(5) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS>', this views a new frame
with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS>.
(6) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS> <PC-ADDRESS>', this views
a new frame with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS> and the pc <PC-ADDRESS>.
This change assumes that the most common use of the commands like
'frame' is to select a frame by frame level, it is for this reason
that this is the behaviour that is kept for backwards compatibility.
Any of the alternative behaviours, which are assumed to be less used,
now require a change in user behaviour.
The MI command '-stack-select-frame' has not been changed. This
ensures that we maintain backwards compatibility for existing
frontends.

This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature. It does
most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and
your basic "with-classes" type of C++.
I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test
facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code"
testing. See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression
for more on that. The tests use this facility extensively.
This initial support has several glaring omissions:
- No template support at all
I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity
to this "basic" support. Consequently, they will be submitted separately.
- Cannot print functions
The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet.
- So-called "special function" support is not included
Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have
follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the
recent churn in symbol searching.
- There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs.
I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing
these patches.
The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but
I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in.
I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion

Add a maintenance command to disable the DWARF stack unwinders.
Normal users would not need this feature, but it is useful to allow
extended testing of fallback stack unwinding strategies, for example,
prologue scanners.
This is a partial implementation of the idea discussed in pr gdb/8434,
which talks about a generic ability to disable any frame unwinder.
Being able to arbitrarily disable any frame unwinder would be a more
complex patch, and I was unsure how useful such a feature would really
be, however, I can see (and have) a real need to disable DWARF
unwinders. That's why this patch only targets that specific set of
unwinders.
If in the future we find ourselves adding more switches to disable
different unwinders, then we should probably move to a more generic
solution, and remove this patch.

I think it doesn't really make sense to allow building gdb without the
CLI. Perhaps at one time this was a goal, but libgdb is long gone and
the CLI is intrinsic to gdb.
So, this patch removes the implementation of this configure option.
It is still recognized (this is autoconf's default), but does nothing.
This simplifies configure.ac and Makefile.in a bit.
Tested by rebuilding.

This patch implements IPv6 support for both GDB and gdbserver. Based
on my research, it is the fourth attempt to do that since 2006. Since
I used ideas from all of the previous patches, I also added their
authors's names on the ChangeLogs as a way to recognize their
efforts. For reference sake, you can find the previous attempts at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-09/msg00192.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00248.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00226.html
The basic idea behind the patch is to start using the new
'getaddrinfo'/'getnameinfo' calls, which are responsible for
translating names and addresses in a protocol-independent way. This
means that if we ever have a new version of the IP protocol, we won't
need to change the code again (or, at least, won't have to change the
majority of the code).
The function 'getaddrinfo' returns a linked list of possible addresses
to connect to. Dealing with multiple addresses proved to be a hard
task with the current TCP auto-retry mechanism implemented on
ser-tcp:net_open. For example, when gdbserver listened only on an
IPv4 socket:
$ ./gdbserver --once 127.0.0.1:1234 ./a.out
and GDB was instructed to try to connect to both IPv6 and IPv4
sockets:
$ ./gdb -ex 'target extended-remote localhost:1234' ./a.out
the user would notice a somewhat big delay before GDB was able to
connect to the IPv4 socket. This happened because GDB was trying to
connect to the IPv6 socket first, and had to wait until the connection
timed out before it tried to connect to the IPv4 socket.
For that reason, I had to rewrite the main loop and implement a new
method for handling multiple connections. After some discussion,
Pedro and I agreed on the following algorithm:
1) For each entry returned by 'getaddrinfo', we try to open a socket
and connect to it.
2.a) If we have a successful 'connect', we just use that connection.
2.b) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
ECONNREFUSED (meaning the the connection was refused), we keep track
of this fact by using a flag.
2.c) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
EINPROGRESS (meaning that the connection is in progress), we perform
a 'select' call on the socket until we have a result (either a
successful connection, or an error on the socket).
3) If tcp_auto_retry is true, and we haven't gotten a successful
connection, and at least one of our attempts failed with
ECONNREFUSED, then we wait a little bit (i.e., call
'wait_for_connect'), check to see if there was a
timeout/interruption (in which case we bail out), and then go back
to (1).
After multiple tests, I was able to connect without delay on the
scenario described above, and was also able to connect in all other
types of scenarios.
I also implemented some hostname parsing functions (along with their
corresponding unit tests) which are used to help GDB and gdbserver to
parse hostname strings provided by the user. These new functions are
living inside common/netstuff.[ch]. I've had to do that since IPv6
introduces a new URL scheme, which defines that square brackets can be
used to enclose the host part and differentiate it from the
port (e.g., "[::1]:1234" means "host ::1, port 1234"). I spent some
time thinking about a reasonable way to interpret what the user wants,
and I came up with the following:
- If the user has provided a prefix that doesn't specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp:" or "udp:"), or if the user has not provided
any prefix, don't make any assumptions (i.e., assume AF_UNSPEC when
dealing with 'getaddrinfo') *unless* the host starts with "[" (in
which case, assume it's an IPv6 host).
- If the user has provided a prefix that does specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp4:", "tcp6:", "udp4:" or "udp6:"), then respect
that.
This method doesn't follow strictly what RFC 2732 proposes (that
literal IPv6 addresses should be provided enclosed in "[" and "]")
because IPv6 addresses still can be provided without square brackets
in our case, but since we have prefixes to specify protocol versions I
think this is not an issue.
Another thing worth mentioning is the new 'GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST'
testcase parameter, which makes it possible to specify the
hostname (without the port) to be used when testing GDB and
gdbserver. For example, to run IPv6 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp6:[::1]'
Or, to run IPv4 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp4:127.0.0.1'
This required a few changes on the gdbserver-base.exp, and also a
minimal adjustment on gdb.server/run-without-local-binary.exp.
Finally, I've implemented a new testcase,
gdb.server/server-connect.exp, which is supposed to run on the native
host and perform various "smoke tests" using different connection
methods.
This patch has been regression-tested on BuildBot and locally, and
also built using a x86_64-w64-mingw32 GCC, and no problems were found.

Implement MIPS target support for passing options to the disassembler,
complementing commit 65b48a8140 ("GDB: Add support for the new
set/show disassembler-options commands.").
This includes options that expect an argument, so adjust the generic
code and data structures used so as to handle such options. So as to
give backends syntax flexibility no specific delimiter has been defined
to separate options from their respective arguments, so it has to be
included as the last character of the option name. Completion code
however has not been adjusted and consequently option arguments cannot
be completed at this time.
Also the MIPS target has non-empty defaults for the options, so that ABI
names for the general-purpose registers respect our `set mips abi ...'
setting rather than always being determined from the ELF headers of the
binary file selected. Handle these defaults as implicit options, never
shown to the user and always prepended to the user-specified options, so
that the latters can override the defaults.
The resulting output for the MIPS target is as follows:
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''
The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:
no-aliases Use canonical instruction forms.
msa Recognize MSA instructions.
virt Recognize the virtualization ASE instructions.
xpa Recognize the eXtended Physical Address (XPA) ASE
instructions.
ginv Recognize the Global INValidate (GINV) ASE instructions.
gpr-names=ABI Print GPR names according to specified ABI.

fpr-names=ABI Print FPR names according to specified ABI.

which corresponds to what `objdump --help' used to print for the MIPS
target, with minor formatting changes, most notably option argument
lists being wrapped, but also the amount of white space separating
options from the respective descriptions. The relevant part the new
code is now also used by `objdump --help', which means these formatting
changes apply to both outputs, except for argument list wrapping, which
is GDB-specific.
This also adds a separating new line between the heading and option
lists where descriptions are provided, hence:
(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit

(gdb)
Existing affected target backends have been adjusted accordingly.
This has been verified manually with:
(gdb) set architecture arm
(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit
to cause no issues with the `show disassembler-options' and `set
disassembler-options' commands. A test case for the MIPS target has
also been provided, covering the default settings with ABI overrides as
well as disassembler option overrides.

This commit adds two new commands which may be used to test thread
debugging libraries used by GDB:
* "maint check libthread-db" tests the thread debugging library GDB
is using for the current inferior.
* "maint set/show check-libthread-db" selects whether libthread_db
tests should be run automatically as libthread_db is auto-loaded.
The default is to not run tests automatically.
The test itself is a basic integrity check exercising all libthread_db
functions used by GDB on GNU/Linux systems. By extension this also
exercises the proc_service functions provided by GDB that libthread_db
uses.
This functionality is useful for NPTL developers and libthread_db
developers. It could also prove useful investigating bugs reported
against GDB where the thread debugging library or GDB's proc_service
layer is suspect.

This adds a "continue" response to the pager. If the user types "c"
in response to the pager prompt, pagination will be disabled for the
duration of one command -- but re-enabled afterward. This is handy if
you type a command that produces a lot of output, and you don't want

It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI
will print the "set" help text by default. I think usually "set"
commands should be silent. And, while you can modify this behavior a
bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an
empty string, a blank line will be printed.
This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string
behavior to avoid printing a blank line. The code has a comment about
preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important;
and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is
trivial.

This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at

it's just as good to write a convenience function in this situation.

Use the last endianness explicitly selected, either by choosing a binary

As observed with the `gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp' test case when
discarding the binary file even while connected to a live target the
endianness automatically selected is reset to the GDB target's default,
even if it does not match the endianness of the target being talked to.
For example with a little-endian MIPS target and the default endianness
being big we get this:

which shows that with the removal of the executable debugged the
endianness of $pc still at `main' gets swapped and the value in that
register is now incorrectly interpreted as 0x40084000 rather than
0x400840 as shown earlier on with the `break' command. Consequently the
debug session no longer works as expected, until the endianness is
overridden with an explicit `set endian little' command.
This will happen while working with any target hardware whose endianness
does not match the default GDB target's endianness guessed and recorded
for a later use in `initialize_current_architecture'.
Given that within a single run of GDB it is more likely that consecutive
target connections will use the same endianness than that the endianness
will be swapped between connections, it makes sense to preserve the last
endianness explicitly selected as the automatic default. It will make a
session like above, where an executable is removed, work correctly and
will retain the endianness for a further reconnection to the target.
And the new automatic default will still be overridden by subsequently
choosing a binary to debug, or with an explicit `set endian' command.
With the change in place the test case above completes successfully:

This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
