Currently, Ada debugging requires the use of certain GNAT-specific
encodings, which are generated by the compiler. These encodings
were created a long time ago to work around the fairly limited
capabilities of the stabs debugging format. With DWARF, the vast
majority of the encodings could be abandoned in favor of a pure
DWARF approach.
In order to make it easier to evaluate the quality of the DWARF
debugging information generated by the compiler, and how the debugger
handles it, we are introducing a small Ada-specific maintenance
setting which changes the debugger's behavior to ignore descriptive
types. Descriptive types are artificial types generated by the
compiler purely to give the debugger hints as to how to properly
decode certain properties of a type. For instance, for array
types, it generates a parallel type whose name is the name of
the array suffixed with ___XA, whose contents tells us what
the array's index type is, and possibly its bounds. See GCC's
gcc/ada/exp_dbug.ads for the full description of all encodings.
This is only a first step, as this setting does not deactivate
all encodings; More settings dedicated to each type of encoding
will likely be implemented in the future, as we make progress.

The to_teardown_btrace target method is used to free btrace resources
during shutdown when target record has already been unpushed and we
can't reliably talk to a remote target to disable branch tracing.
Tracing resources are freed for each thread when the thread is removed;
both on the GDB side and on the gdbserver side.
In the remote case, the remote target that provides to_teardown_btrace
to free the GDB side resources has already been unpushed when threads
are destroyed. This results in a complaint "You can't do this ..." and
in a few bytes of memory leaked for each thread.

Currently, ada-lang.c pretends to include "ui-out.h" as follow:
#ifdef UI_OUT
#include "ui-out.h"
#endif
However, UI_OUT is never defined as far as I can tell. This is confirmed
by rebuilding with a #error pragma inside the #ifdef UI_OUT block,
which never triggers.
Since this unit makes references to declarations from ui-out.h,
this patch simply removes the #ifdef/#endif condition. This has not
been an error so far because "ui-out.h" indirectly gets included,
via one of the other .h files being included.

type Char_Table is array (Character range Character'First .. Character'Last)

Trying to print the type description of this type currently yields:

(print_range_bound, print_dynamic_range_bound, print_range_type):
Remove declaration.
Consider the following declarations:
type Range_Type is (One, Two, Three);
type Array_Type is array (Range_Type range One .. Two) of Integer;
A : Array_Type := (1, 2);
Trying to print A can yield:
(gdb) print a
$1 = (one => 1, 2)
The bound of the first element should not have been printed, since
"one" is the first enumerate of type Range_Type. Similarly, with
the following declarations:
type Array2_Type is array (Range_Type range Two .. Three) of Integer;
A2 : Array2_Type := (2, 3);
GDB is failing to print the bound of the first element of "A2":
(gdb) print a2
$2 = (2, 3)
This is because the index type for both types Array_Type and Array2_Type
are subranges (by DWARF definition for arrays), of an anonymous subrange
type. When deciding whether to print the bound of the first element,
we handle subranges, but only up to one level. This patch enhanced
the code to handle any number of subrange levels.

On x86-solaris, the gcore command sometimes triggers the following
internal error:
(gdb) gcore
/[...]/procfs.c:5523: internal-error: procfs_make_note_section: Assertion `thread_args.note_data != note_data' failed.
The problem is extremely elusive, for reasons that will become clearer
as I explain what is going on.
The program used to produce this issue was really simple:
| void break_me (void) { }
|
| int
| main (void)
| {
| break_me ();
| return 0;
| }
The procfs_make_note_section builds a buffer incrementally with
the contents of the core's notes section. The interesting bits are:
char *note_data = NULL;
[...]
note_data = (char *) elfcore_write_prpsinfo (obfd,
note_data,
note_size,
fname,
psargs);
This is the first call to bfd's elfcore which initializes note_data.
After that, we have a few more calls, which keep updating notes_data
and note_size, but our interest lies in the following part of
the function:
thread_args.note_data = note_data;
[...]
proc_iterate_over_threads (pi, procfs_corefile_thread_callback,
&thread_args);
/* There should be always at least one thread. */
gdb_assert (thread_args.note_data != note_data);
The comment implies that the assert is to verify that our loop
iterated over at least one thread. The check is relying on the
fact that the notes_data returned by the elfcore module changes
at each iteration, via (in procfs_corefile_thread_callback):
args->note_data = procfs_do_thread_registers (args->obfd, ptid,
args->note_data,
args->note_size,
args->stop_signal);
(which calls elfcore_write_lwpstatus).
But, while it happens most of the time, thanks to a call to realloc
in elfcore_write_note (the function that actually appends the data
at the end of the notes buffer),...
buf = (char *) realloc (buf, *bufsiz + newspace);
... this is by no means guarantied. In fact, under the right
circumstances, the buffer was grown twice without changing
addresses. Unfortunately, the circumstances are very sensitive,
thus making this bug very elusive.
This patch fixes the problem by simply removing the assert.
This means we're losing the assertion that there is at least one
thread, but I think that's OK. If we still want to keep the
assertion, we have the option of either checking the buffer
size, or else adding a boolean flag in the context structure
that we'd set to true as soon as we have a thread.

Functions remote_read_bytes and get_core_siginfo are the callees of

Hi,
This patch changes the type of 'len' from ssize_t to ULONGEST.
At the beginning Siddhesh Poyarekar proposed this patch
[PATCH] Memory reads and writes should have size_t length
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg01073.html
to change type of 'len' to size_t. However, after Jan's review, we
decide to change it to ssize_t, because callers of these functions
may pass signed type to them.
AFAICS, the target layer is a boundary. In one side, we pass size_t
or ssize_t to target related APIs, and in the other side, the
implementation side, we used LONGEST (ULONGEST in latest code) because
of to_xfer_partial.
Since remote_write_bytes_aux and remote_write_bytes belong to the
implementation of remote target, we should use ULONGEST for len, IMO.
Regression tested on x86_64-linux. Is it OK?

This fixes a bug in FrameDecorator.py.
FrameVars seems to assume that Frame.block can return None if there is
no block. However, it actually throws an exception.
I saw this bug while developing a frame filter, but unfortunately I
don't know how to reproduce it. It seems to me that the SAL tests in
_is_limited_frame should exclude the bad cases; and in my attempts to
write a test they do.
Nevertheless I think the fix is reasonably obvious and ought to go in.

The trace-specific test case 'entry-values' concludes fairly late in
the process that this platform doesn't support trace. Before that,
there are some platform specifics that don't work on s390x. The fix
addresses two aspects:
(1) Removal of an excess space character in the regex for the
disassembly. This is needed when there is a function alignment
gap, because then the hex address is immediately followed by a
colon, like in the first 'nopr' line below:
(gdb) disassemble foo+50,+10
Dump of assembler code from 0x32 to 0x3c:
0x0000000000000032 <foo+50>: br %r4

0x0000000000000038 <bar+0>: stmg %r11,%r15,88(%r15)

When upstream gcc is given a command line with the "-g" option after
"-g3", it doesn't generate a ".debug_macro" section. This is because
the last option wins, thus downgrading the debug level again. Without
any macro debug information in the executable, info-macros.exp
obviously produces many failures.

the "debug" option is set, the fix just removes that option.
