Update dg-extract-results.* from gcc
dg-extract-results.sh was moved from the "gdb/contrib/" directory to
the toplevel "contrib/" directory. However, src-release.sh was not
updated in order to include "contrib/" in the tarball release of GDB.
This makes it very inconvenient to run and analyze the GDB testsuite
results. This commit adds "contrib/" to the list of support
directories that are included in each GDB release.
ChangeLog:
2018-09-12 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* src-release.sh (GDB_SUPPORT_DIRS): Add "contrib".
Printing a GDB Python object is notoriously not helpful:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior object at 0x7fea59aed198>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile object at 0x7fea59b57c90>]
This makes printing debug traces more difficult than it should be. This
patch provides some repr() implementation for these two types (more to
come if people agree with the idea, but I want to test the water first).
Here's the same example as above, but with this patch:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior num=1>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile filename=/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb-gcc-git/gdb/test>]
I implemented repr rather than str, because when printing a list (or
another container I suppose), Python calls the repr method of the
elements. This is useful when printing a list of inferiors or objfiles.
The print(gdb.objfiles()) above would not have worked if I had
implemented str.
I found this post useful to understand the difference between repr and
str:

gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_repr): New.
(inferior_object_type): Register infpy_repr.
* python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_repr): New.
(objfile_object_type): Register objfpy_repr.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-inferior.exp: Test repr() of gdb.Inferior.
* gdb.python/py-objfile.exp: Test repr() of gdb.Objfile.
* gdb.python/py-symtab.exp: Update test printing an objfile.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Basic Python): Mention the string representation
of GDB Python objects.
When encoding VEX, we can swap destination and source only if there are
more than 1 register operand.
* config/tc-i386.c (build_vex_prefix): Swap destination and
source only if there are more than 1 register operand.
Various moves come in load and store forms, and just like on the GPR
and FPU sides there would better be only one pattern. In some cases this
is not feasible because the opcodes are too different, but quite a few
cases follow a similar standard scheme. Introduce Opcode_SIMD_FloatD and
Opcode_SIMD_IntD, generalize handling in operand_size_match() (reverse
operand handling there simply needs to match "straight" operand one),
and fix a long standing, but so far only latent bug with when to zap
found_reverse_match.
Also once again drop IgnoreSize where pointlessly applied to templates
touched anyway as well as *word when redundant with Reg*.
In quite a few cases the .s suffix or {load} / {store} prefixes did not
work as intended, or produced errors when they're supposed to be ignored
when it is not possible to carry out the request.
The change here re-purposes(?) the .s suffix to no longer mean "store"
(if that's what 's' did stand for), since the forms used in the base
templates are not consistently loads (and we unlikely want to change
that). The pseudo prefixes will now fulfill what their names say, i.e.
{load} now only ever produces a load form encoding (if available) while
{store} only ever produces a store form one (again if available). This
requires minimal test suite adjustments, while the majority of the
changes there are simply additions.
This patch adds tests for trying to use property or methods on a
gdb.Inferior object that represents an inferior that does not exist
anymore. We expect an exception to be thrown.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-inferior.exp: Test using an invalid gdb.Inferior
object.
There is no reason for 'is_regular_file' to be in common-utils.c; it
belongs to 'filestuff.c'. This commit moves the function definition
and its prototype to the appropriate files.
The motivation behind this move is a failure that happens on certain
cross-compilation environments when compiling the IPA library, due to
the way gnulib probes the need for a 'stat' call replacement. Because
configure checks when cross-compiling are more limited, gnulib decides
that it needs to substitute the 'stat' calls its own 'rpl_stat';
however, the IPA library doesn't link with gnulib, which leads to an
error when compiling 'common-utils.c':

The most simple fix for this problem is to move 'is_regular_file' to
'filestuff.c', which is not used by IPA. This ends up making the
files more logically organized as well, since 'is_regular_file' is a
file operation.
No regressions found.

While trying to create skips for libstdc++, I found myself debugging GDB
quite a bit, mostly to find out what the exact function name to match
is. I thought it would make sense to have this information as debug
output.
This patch adds "set debug skip on|off".
gdb/ChangeLog:
* skip.c (debug_skip): New variable.
(skiplist_entry::do_skip_file_p): Add debug output.
(skiplist_entry::do_skip_gfile_p): Likewise.
(skiplist_entry::skip_function_p): Likewise.
(_initialize_step_skip): Create debug command.
* NEWS: Mention set/show debug skip.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Skipping Over Functions and Files): Document
set/show debug skip.
Simplfy gdb.exp by adding a function that will attempt to
compile a piece of code, then clean up.
gdb/testsuite
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_can_simple_compile): Add proc.
(support_complex_tests): Use gdb_can_simple_compile.
(is_ilp32_target): Likewise.
(is_lp64_target): Likewise.
(is_64_target): Likewise.
(is_amd64_regs_target): Likewise.
(is_aarch32_target): Likewise.
(gdb_int128_helper): Likewise.
On Mac OS X Sierra and later, the shell is not allowed to be
debug so add a check and disable startup with shell in that
case. This disabling is done temporary before forking
inferior and restored after the fork.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* darwin-nat.c (should_disable_startup_with_shell):
New function.
(darwin_nat_target::create_inferior): Add call.

Debugging a program under Darwin does not work:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x100000fb4: file /tmp/helloworld.c, line 1.
Starting program: /private/tmp/helloworld
[New Thread 0x2903 of process 60326]
During startup program terminated with signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint
trap.
Field signaled from darwin_thread_info is not initialized thus signal
sent to the debuggee is considered as not sent by GDB whereas it should.
This patch fixes this problem and also updates (change type and/or
initialize) other fields in the same structure at the same time.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* darwin-nat.h (struct darwin_thread_info) <gdb_port,
inf_port, msg_state>: Initialize.
(struct darwin_thread_info) <signaled, single_step>: Change
type and initialize.
(struct darwin_thread_info) <event>: Initialize.

This is a backport of a gnulib fix for the following bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23558
The problem reported there is about the replacement of 'getcwd' when
cross-compiling GDB. With our current gnulib copy, the mechanism for
deciding whether to use the system's 'getcwd' or gnulib's version is
too simplistic and pessimistic, so when cross-compiling we always end
up using gnulib's version, which has a limitation: it cannot handle
the situation when the parent directory doesn't have read permissions.
The solution is to backport the following gnulib commit:
