This patch defines pseudo-registers "v0" through "v31" as aliases that
map to the corresponding raw "vr0" through "vr31" vector registers for
Power.
The motivation behind this is that although GDB defines these
registers as "vrX", the disassembler prints them as "vX", e.g. as the
operands in instructions such as "vaddubm v2,v1,v1". This can be
confusing to users trying to print out the values of the operands
while inspecting the disassembled code.
The new aliases are made not to belong to any register group, to avoid
duplicated values in "info register vector" and "info register all".
The arch-specific rs6000_pseudo_register_reggroup_p function had
previously been removed since the other pseudo-registers could have
their groups inferred by their type. It restored with this patch to
handle the aliases. Membership for the other pseudo-registers is
still determined using the default function.
A new tests checks that GDB prints the expected values of vector
registers after they are filled by the inferior, by using both the raw
names and the aliases. Two other existing tests are modified to also
test the aliases.

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.

I noticed that when running this test:
make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver gdb.mi/mi-break.exp"
I would occasionally see some UNRESOLVED test results like this:
(gdb)
PASS: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: mi-mode=separate: breakpoint at main
Expecting: ^(kill[
]+)?(.*[
]+[(]gdb[)]
[ ]*)
kill
&"kill\n"
~"Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]\n"
=thread-group-exited,id="i1"
ERROR: Got interactive prompt.
UNRESOLVED: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: mi-mode=separate:
The problem appears to be that the expect buffer fills up to include
the '(y or n)' prompt without including the following lines.
The pattern supplied by the outer test script is looking for the
following lines. As the following lines are not present then expect
matches on the interactive prompt case rather than the case for the
user supplied pattern.
The problem with this is that we are not really at an interactive
prompt, GDB is providing an answer for us and then moving on. When I
examine a successful run of the test the output from GDB is identical,
the only difference is where expect happens to buffer the output from
GDB.
This patch remove all special handling of the interactive prompt
case. This means that if we ever break GDB and start seeing an
unexpected interactive prompt then tests will rely on a timeout to
fail, instead of having dedicated interactive prompt detection, but
this solves the problem that an auto-answered prompt looks very
similar to an interactive prompt.
With this patch in place I can now leave the following loop running
indefinitely, where before it would fail usually after ~10
iterations.

PR gdb/28155 notes a crash in "finish" that occurs with a particular

The bug is the typical gdb problem of a missing call to check_typedef.
clang emits a function whose return type is a typedef to void.
get_return_value asserts that the return type is not void, but the
callers were not using check_typedef first.

This adds some output styling to the CLI.
A style is currently a foreground color, a background color, and an
intensity (dim or bold). (This list could be expanded depending on
terminal capabilities.)
A style can be applied while printing. For ui-out, this is done by
passing the style constant as an argument. For low-level cases,
fprintf_styled and fputs_styled are provided.
Users can control the style via a number of new set/show commands. In
the interest of not typing many nearly-identical documentation
strings, I automated this. On the down side, this is not very
i18n-friendly.
I've chose some default colors to use. I think it would be good to
enable this by default, so that when users start the new gdb, they
will see the new feature.
Stylizing is done if TERM is set and is not "dumb". This could be
improved when the TUI is available by using the curses has_colors
call. That is, the lowest layer could call this without committing to
using curses everywhere; see my other patch for TUI colorizing.
I considered adding a new "set_style" method to ui_file. However,
because the implementation had to interact with the pager code, I
didn't take this approach. But, one idea might be to put the isatty
check there and then have it defer to the lower layers.

A while back I typed "info pretty-printers" with a large number of

normally handles a quit.

Avoid the timeout by renaming 'b' to rename_subscript_param_b.
Also, change 'before' to 'after' in the gdb_test message that prints
the value after changing it.
The test still fails with old compilers that do not properly
generate debug info for this renaming:

No definition of "rename_subscript_param_b" in current context.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.ada/rename_subscript_param.exp: print rename_subscript_param_b before changing its value
Note: if the compiler would generate the correct debug info, the test should
succeed with the name B. However, waiting for this fix, changing the name
ensures that the test fails directly, instead of causing a timeout.

The 64-bit RISC-V target currently models the floating point registers
as having the following type:
union riscv_double
{
builtin_type_ieee_single float;
builtin_type_ieee_double double;
}
Notice the choice of names for the fields of this struct, possibly not
ideal choices, as these are not valid field names in C. However, this
type is only ever defined within GDB (or in the target description),
and no restriction seems to exist on the field names in that case.
The problem though is that currently:
(gdb) info registers $ft0
ft0 {float = 0, double = 0} (raw 0x0000000000000000)
(gdb) p $ft0.float
$1 = 0
(gdb) p $ft0.double
A syntax error in expression, near `double'.
We can access the 'float' field, but not the 'double' field. This is
because the string 'double' is handled differently to the string
'float' in c-exp.y.
In both cases the string '$ft0' is parsed as a VARIABLE expression.
In the 'float' case, the string 'float' becomes a generic NAME token
in 'lex_one_token', which then allows the rule "exp '.' name" to match
and the field name lookup to occur.
The 'double' case is different. In order to allow parsing of the type
string 'long double', the 'double' string becomes the token
DOUBLE_KEYWORD. At this point there's no rule to match "exp '.'
DOUBLE_KEYWORD", so we can never lookup the field named 'double'.
We could rename the fields for RISC-V, and maybe that would be the
best solution. However, its not hard to allow for fields named
'double', which is what this patch does.
A new case is added to the 'field_name' rule to match the
DOUBLE_KEYWORD, and create a suitable 'struct stoken'. With this done
the "exp '.' field_name" pattern can now match, and we can lookup the
double field.
With this patch in place I now see this behaviour:
(gdb) info registers $ft0
ft0 {float = 0, double = 0} (raw 0x0000000000000000)
(gdb) p $ft0.float
$1 = 0
(gdb) p $ft0.double
$2 = 0
I've gone ahead and handled INT_KEYWORD, LONG, SHORT, SIGNED_KEYWORD,
and UNSIGNED as well within field_name.
I've added a new test for this functionality.

Various tests use test code written in i386 / x86_64 assembly that cannot
be used to create PIE executables. Therefore compilation of test programs
failed on systems where the compiler default is to create PIE executable.
The solution is to use -no-pie linker flag, however, such flag may not
(is not) supported by all compilers GDB needs to support (e.g. gcc 4.8).
To handle this, introduce a new flag to gdb_compile - nopie - which
inserts -no-pie linker flag where supported and is no-op where it is
not. By default, -no-pie flag is inserted since most modern compiler do
support it.

pathname is used to call configure.
In any case, the gnat compiler normalizes Ada sources path when compiling.
So, the 'Ada' .o object are referencing a pathname such as
/home/philippe/gdb/git/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/info_auto_lang/proc_in_ada.adb,
while the 'C' .o object still references the not normalized pathname.
As the results of 'info functions | ...' are sorted by pathname first,
the order of the results depends on the comparison between different directories,
leading to results that can change depending on these directories.
=> Ensure the result order is always the same, by normalising the C source file,
which makes the results independent of the way configure is launched.
Tested by running the testcase in 2 different builds, that without normalize
were giving different results.
Note: such 'set csrcfile' is used in 4 other tests mixing Ada and C.
After discussion, it was deemed sufficient to just normalize the pathname
for this test.

2018-12-20 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* gdb.ada/info_auto_lang.exp: Normalize some_c source file.
Update order of results accordingly.
When running the test gdb.base/annota1.exp with:
make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver gdb.base/annota1.exp"
I would see a failure due to some unexpected lines in GDB's output.
The extra lines (when compared with a native run) were about file
transfer from the remote back to GDB.
This commit extends the regexp for this test to allow for these extra
lines, and also splits the rather long regexp up into a list of parts.
With this change in place I see no failures for gdb.base/annota1.exp
when using the native-extended-gdbserver target board, nor with a
native run on X86-64/Linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/annota1.exp: Update a test regexp.
The FPU is optional on RISC-V. The gdb.base/float.exp test currently
assumes that an fpu is always available on RISC-V. Update the test so
that this is not the case.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/float.exp: Handle RISC-V targets without an FPU.
A failure that seems to cause a long/infinite time is the following:
For a not clear reason, tid-reuse.c spawner thread sometimes gets an error:
tid-reuse: /bd/home/philippe/gdb/git/build_moreaa/gdb/testsuite/../../../moreaa/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/tid-reuse.c:58: spawner_thread_func: Assertion `rc == 0' failed.
which causes a SIGABRT to be trapped by gdb, and tid-reuse does not reach the
after_count breakpoint:
Thread 2 "tid-reuse" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

After that, tid-reuse.exp gets the value of reuse_time, but this one kept its
initial value of -1 (as unsigned) :
print reuse_time
$1 = 4294967295
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/tid-reuse.exp: get reuse_time
tid-reuse then dies, and the .exp script continues (with some FAIL)
till it executes:

leading to the error:

This patch gives a default value of 60, so that if ever something wrong happens
in tid-reuse, then the value retrieved by the .exp script stays in a reasonable
range.
Simon verified the patch by:
"I replaced the pthread_create call with the value 1 to simulate a
failure, and the test succeeds to fail quickly with your patch applied.
Without your patch, I get the infinite hang that you describe."
Compared to V1:
As suggested by Pedro, this version checks the pthread calls return
code (in particular of pthread_create) and reports the failure reason,
instead of just aborting.

* source.c: Various cosmetic changes.
(forward_search_command): Handle very long source lines correctly.
a buffer with a hard limit was converted to a heap buffer:

However, reverse_search_command has the exact same problem, and that
wasn't fixed. We still have that "we walk right off" comment...
Recently, the xmalloc above was replaced with a xrealloc, because as
can be seen above, that 'buf' variable above was a static local,
otherwise we'd be leaking. This commit replaces that and the
associated manual buffer growing with a gdb::def_vector<char>. I
don't think there's much point in reusing the buffer across command
invocations.
While doing this, I realized that reverse_search_command is almost
identical to forward_search_command. So this commit factors out a
common helper function instead of duplicating a lot of code.
There are some tests for "forward-search" in gdb.base/list.exp, but
since they use the "search" alias, they were a bit harder to find than
expected. That's now fixed, both by testing both variants, and by
adding some commentary. Also, there are no tests for the
"reverse-search" command, so this commit adds some for that too.

In the config/sim.exp file two functions are defined. Both of these
functions define local timeout variables and then call gdb_expect,
which (through a call to get_largest_timeout) will find the local
definition of timeout.
However, both of these functions set the local timeout to some
arbitrary value and print a log message for this "new" timeout just
before returning.
As in both cases, the timeout is a local variable, this final setting
of the timeout has no effect and can be removed.
As having log messages about the timeout being adjusted could cause
confusion I've removed all logging related to timeouts in this
function, timeouts are adjusted throughout the testsuite without any
logging, there doesn't seem to be any good reason why these functions
should get their own logging.
With the logging gone there seems to be little need to a local timeout
variable at all, and so I've folded the local timeout directly into
the call to gdb_expect.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* config/sim.exp (gdb_target_sim): Remove redundant adjustment of
local timeout variable before return, and remove all local timeout
variable entirely.
(gdb_load): Likewise.
When caching a proc using gdb_caching_proc, it will become less likely to
be executed, and consequently it's going to be harder to detect that the
proc is racy. OTOH, in general the proc is easy to rerun. So, add a
test-case to run all uncached gdb_caching_procs a number of times and detect
inconsistent results.
The purpose of caching is to reduce runtime, so rerunning is somewhat
counter-productive in that aspect, but it's better than uncached, because the
number of reruns is constant-bounded, and the increase in runtime is bound to
this test-case, and can be disabled on slow targets.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-12-01 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* gdb.base/gdb-caching-proc.exp: New file.
It is unfortunately not uncommon to have tests hanging on some of the
BuildBot workers. For example, the ppc64be/ppc64le+gdbserver builders
are especially in a bad state when it comes to testing GDB/gdbserver,
and we can have builds that take an absurd amount of time to
finish (almost 1 week for one single build, for example).
It may be hard to diagnose these failures, because sometimes we don't
have access to the faulty systems, and other times we're just too busy
to wait and check which test is actually hanging. During one of our
conversations about the topic, someone proposed that it would be a
good idea to have a timestamp put together with stdout output, so that
we can come back later and examine which tests are taking too long to
complete.
Here's my proposal to do this. The very first thing I tried to do was
to use "ts(1)" to achieve this feature, and it obviously worked, but
the problem is that I'm afraid "ts(1)" may not be widely available on
every system we support. Therefore, I decided to implement a *very*
simple version of "ts(1)", in Python 3, which basically does the same
thing: iterate over the stdin lines, and prepend a timestamp onto
them.
As for testsuite/Makefile.in, the user can now specify two new
variables to enable timestamp'ed output: TS (which enables the
output), and TS_FORMAT (optional, used to specify another timestamp
format according to "strftime").
Here's an example of how the output looks like:
...

(What, gdb.base/quit-live.exp is taking 26 seconds to complete?!)
Output to stderr is not timestamp'ed, but I don't think that will be a
problem for us. If it is, we can revisit the solution and extend it.

Since commit
56bcdbea2b ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
command repetition after using the `gdb.execute` Python function
fails (the previous command is not repeated anymore). This happens
because read_command_lines_1 sets dont_repeat, but the call to
prevent_dont_repeat in execute_gdb_command is later.
The fix is to move the call to prevent_dont_repeat to the beginning of
the function.
Tested on my laptop (ArchLinux-x86_64).

Currently the method 'cli_ui_out::do_field_fmt' has this comment:
/* This is the only field function that does not align. */
The reality is even slightly worse, the 'fmt' field type doesn't
respect either the field alignment or the field width. In at least
one place in GDB we attempt to work around this lack of respect for
field width by adding additional padding manually. But, as is often
the case, this is leading to knock on problems.
Conside the output for 'info breakpoints' when a breakpoint has
multiple locations. This example is taken from the testsuite, from
test gdb.opt/inline-break.exp:
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x00000000004004ae in func4b at /src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-break.c:64
1.2 y 0x0000000000400682 in func4b at /src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-break.c:64
The miss-alignment of the fields shown here is exactly as GDB
currently produces.
With this patch 'fmt' style fields are now first written into a
temporary buffer, and then written out as a 'string' field. The
result is that the field width, and alignment should now be respected.
With this patch in place the output from GDB now looks like this:
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x00000000004004ae in func4b at /src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-break.c:64
1.2 y 0x0000000000400682 in func4b at /src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-break.c:64
This patch has been tested on x86-64/Linux with no regressions,
however, the testsuite doesn't always spot broken output formatting or
alignment. I have also audited all uses of 'fmt' fields that I could
find, and I don't think there are any other places that specifically
try to work around the lack of width/alignment, however, I could have
missed something.

The following will segfault on aarch64 if foo is in another object,
was compiled as c++ and has no debug symbols:
(gdb) p (int)foo()
This is because aarch64_push_dummy_call determines the return type
of the function and then does not check for null pointer.
A null pointer for the return type means the call has no debug
information. For the code to get here, then the call must have
been cast, otherwise we'd error out sooner. In the case of a
no-debug-info call cast, the return type is the type the user
had cast the call to, but we do not have that information
available here.
However, aarch64_push_dummy_call only requires the return type in
order to calculate lang_struct_return. This information is available
in the return_method enum. The fix is to simply use this instead.
Adds testcase to check calls across objects, with all combinations
of c, c++, debug and no debug.

Add completer to various commands that accept skip numbers:
- skip enable
- skip disable
- skip delete
- info skip
These commands also accept ranges, the completer works for that but is
not very smart. It will suggest invalid ranges, for example when doing
"2-<TAB>" it will suggest "1", which would not result in a valid range.
Also, it will keep suggesting when doing "1-2-<TAB>", even though it's
an invalid syntax.
A future idea would be to make a re-usable and well-tested completer for
numbers and ranges. I think it could at least be re-used for breakpoint
and thread numbers (for example with the "enable breakpoints" command).

Consider a test-case with source files msym.c:
...
static int foo (void) { return 1; }
...
and msym_main.c:
...
static int foo (void) { return 2; }
int main (void) { return 0; }
..
compiled as c++ with minimal symbols:
...
$ g++ msym_main.c msym.c
...
With objdump -x we find the two foo symbols prefixed with their corresponding
files in the symbol table:
...
0000000000000000 l df *ABS* 0000000000000000 msym_main.c
00000000004004c7 l F .text 000000000000000b _ZL3foov

00000000004004dd l F .text 000000000000000b _ZL3foov
...
However, when we use gdb to print info on foo, both foos are listed, but we
get one symbol mangled and one symbol demangled:
...
$ gdb ./a.out -batch -ex "info func foo"
All functions matching regular expression "foo":
Non-debugging symbols:
0x00000000004004c7 foo()
0x00000000004004dd _ZL3foov
...
During minimal symbol reading symbol_set_names is called for each symbol.
First, it's called with foo from msym.c, an entry is created in
per_bfd->demangled_names_hash and symbol_find_demangled_name is called, which
has the side effect of setting the language of the symbol to language_cplus.
Then, it's called with foo from msym_main.c. Since
per_bfd->demangled_names_hash already has an entry for that name,
symbol_find_demangled_name is not called, and the language of the symbol
remains language_auto.
Fix this by doing the symbol_find_demangled_name call unconditionally.

were zero (when they aren't) after e.g. VZEROALL/VZEROUPPER.
Update gdb.arch/riscv-reg-aliases.exp test to support targets without
floating point registers.

gdb: Handle ICC's unexpected void return type
A potential dereference of a NULL pointer was introduced if a
DW_TAG_base_type is missing a DW_AT_name attribute.
I have taken this opportunity to fix a slight confusion that existed
in the test also added in the above commit, the test had two C
variables, declared like this:
int var_a = 5;
void *var_ptr = &var_a;
However, the fake DWARF in the test script declared them like this:
void var_a = 5;
void *var_ptr = &var_a;
This wasn't a problem as the test never uses 'var_a' directly, this
only exists so 'var_ptr' can be initialised. However, it seemed worth
fixing.
I've also added a test for a DW_TAG_base_type with a missing
DW_AT_name, as clearly there's not test currently that covers this
(the original patch tested cleanly). I can confirm that the new test
causes GDB to crash before this patch, and passes with this patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_init_integer_type): Check for name being
NULL before dereferencing it.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/void-type.exp: Rename types, and make var_a an 'int'.
* gdb.dwarf2/missing-type-name.exp: New file.
Consider the test-case from this patch, compiled with O0.
The executable segfaults, and generates a core dump:
...
$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
...
When loading the core file, limiting stack size to 4MB, gdb crashes:
...
$ ulimit -s 4096
$ gdb -batch ./a.out core.saved
[New LWP 19379]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
...
The crash originates here in linux_vsyscall_range_raw, where we call alloca
with phdrs_size == 4194112 (roughly 4MB):
...
phdrs = (Elf_Internal_Phdr *) alloca (phdrs_size);
...
While for this test-case gdb runs fine with the system default stack limit of
8MB, there are cases reported of 12MB phdrs_size where gdb also crashes with
the system default stack limit.
Fix this by using xmalloc instead of alloca, which prevents the crash provided
the stack limit is at least 112kb.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

* linux-tdep.c (linux_vsyscall_range_raw): Use xmalloc to allocate
program headers.
* gdb.base/many-headers.c: New test.
* gdb.base/many-headers.exp: New file.
