Commit 2e62ab400f added a second 'New commands' section to the NEWS
file, this commit merges the two together.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Merge two 'New commands' sections.
Introduce a new print setting max-depth which can be set with 'set
print max-depth DEPTH'. The default value of DEPTH is 20, but this
can also be set to unlimited.
When GDB is printing a value containing nested structures GDB will
stop descending at depth DEPTH. Here is a small example:
typedef struct s1 { int a; } s1;
typedef struct s2 { s1 b; } s2;
typedef struct s3 { s2 c; } s3;
typedef struct s4 { s3 d; } s4;
s4 var = { { { { 3 } } } };
The following table shows how various depth settings affect printing
of 'var':
| Depth Setting | Result of 'p var' |
|---------------+--------------------------------|
| Unlimited | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
| 4 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
| 3 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {...}}}} |
| 2 | $1 = {d = {c = {...}}} |
| 1 | $1 = {d = {...}} |
| 0 | $1 = {...} |
Only structures, unions, and arrays are replaced in this way, scalars
and strings are not replaced.
The replacement is counted from the level at which you print, not from
the top level of the structure. So, consider the above example and
this GDB session:
(gdb) set print max-depth 2
(gdb) p var
$1 = {d = {c = {...}}}
(gdb) p var.d
$2 = {c = {b = {...}}}
(gdb) p var.d.c
$3 = {b = {a = 3}}
Setting the max-depth to 2 doesn't prevent the user from exploring
deeper into 'var' by asking for specific sub-fields to be printed.
The motivation behind this feature is to try and give the user more
control over how much is printed when examining large, complex data
structures.
The default max-depth of 20 means that there is a change in GDB's
default behaviour. Someone printing a data structure with 20 levels
of nesting will now see '{...}' instead of their data, they would need
to adjust the max depth, or call print again naming a specific field
in order to dig deeper into their data structure. If this is
considered a problem then we could increase the default, or even make
the default unlimited.
This commit relies on the previous commit, which added a new field to
the language structure, this new field was a string that contained the
pattern that should be used when a structure/union/array is replaced
in the output, this allows languages to use a syntax that is more
appropriate, mostly this will be selecting the correct types of
bracket '(...)' or '{...}', both of which are currently in use.
This commit should have no impact on MI output, expressions are
printed through the MI using -var-create and then -var-list-children.
As each use of -var-list-children only ever displays a single level of
an expression then the max-depth setting will have no impact.
This commit also adds the max-depth mechanism to the scripting
language pretty printers following basically the same rules as for the
built in value printing.
One quirk is that when printing a value using the display hint 'map',
if the keys of the map are structs then GDB will hide the keys one
depth level after it hides the values, this ensures that GDB produces
output like this:
$1 = map_object = {[{key1}] = {...}, [{key2}] = {...}}
Instead of this less helpful output:
$1 = map_object = {[{...}] = {...}, [{...}] = {...}}
This is covered by the new tests in gdb.python/py-nested-maps.exp.

Inferior function calls are powerful but might lead to undesired
results such as crashes when calling nested functions (frequently
used in particular in Ada).
This implements a GDB setting to disable calling inferior functions.
Note: the idea is that if/when the 'slash command' patch is pushed,
that this setting can be changed e.g. by using the shortcut /c.
This is version 2 of the patch. It handles all the received comments,
mostly replace 'can-call' by 'may-call', and avoid using
'inferior function call' in factor of 'calling function in the program'.

Add two new internal functions $_cimag and $_creal that extract the
imaginary and real parts of a complex value.
These internal functions can take a complex value of any type 'float
complex', 'double complex', or 'long double complex' and return a
suitable floating point value 'float', 'double', or 'long double'.
So we can now do this:
(gdb) p z1
$1 = 1.5 + 4.5 * I
(gdb) p $_cimag (z1)
$4 = 4.5
(gdb) p $_creal (z1)
$4 = 1.5
The components of a complex value are not strictly named types in
DWARF, as the complex type is itself the base type. However, once we
are able to extract the components it makes sense to be able to ask
what the type of these components is and get a sensible answer back,
rather than the error we would currently get. Currently GDB says:
(gdb) ptype z1
type = complex double
(gdb) p $_cimag (z1)
$4 = 4.5
(gdb) ptype $
type = <invalid type code 9>
With the changes in dwarf2read.c, GDB now says:
(gdb) ptype z1
type = complex double
(gdb) p $_cimag (z1)
$4 = 4.5
(gdb) ptype $
type = double
Which seems to make more sense.

The str () function, called on a gdb.Value instance, produces a string
representation similar to what can be achieved with the print command,
but it doesn't allow to specify additional formatting settings, for
instance disabling pretty printers.
This patch introduces a new format_string () method to gdb.Value which
allows specifying more formatting options, thus giving access to more
features provided by the internal C function common_val_print ().

New in v2:
- Addressed comments about doc, updated the MI version table
- New doc for the Breakpoint information format
- New -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output command, with associated
doc, test and NEWS updated accordingly
- Fixed the output, the locations list is now actually in the tuple
representing the breakpoint.
Various MI commands or events related to breakpoints output invalid MI
records when printing information about a multi-location breakpoint.
For example:
-break-insert allo
^done,bkpt={...,addr="<MULTIPLE>",...},{number="1.1",...},{number="1.2",...}
The problem is that according to the syntax [1], the top-level elements
are of type "result" and should be of the form "variable=value".
This patch changes the output to wrap the locations in a list:
^done,bkpt={...,addr="<MULTIPLE>",locations=[{number="1.1",...},{number="1.2",...}]}
The events =breakpoint-created, =breakpoint-modified, as well as the
-break-info command also suffer from this (and maybe others I didn't
find).
Since this is a breaking change for MI, we have to deal somehow with
backwards compatibility. The approach taken by this patch is to bump
the MI version, use the new syntax in MI3 while retaining the old syntax
in MI2. Frontends are expected to use a precise MI version (-i=mi2), so
if they do that they should be unaffected.
The patch also adds the command -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output,
which front ends can use to enable this behavior with MI <= 2.

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
("debug compile-cplus-types").

When printing frames on an MI channel also print the frame
architecture like in:
(gdb)
-stack-list-frames 3 3
^done,stack=
[frame={level="3",addr="0x000107a4",func="foo",
file="recursive2.c",fullname="/home/foo/bar/recursive2.c",
line="14",arch="i386:x86_64"}]
(gdb)
This is useful for MI clients that need to know the architecture in
order to perform further analysis, for example to use their own
disassembler to analyze machine code.

to mention "arch".
Update MI examples throughout the document to contain "arch" in
frame output.
The CLI "disassemble" command allows specifying a single address - in
that case the function surrounding that address is disassembled.
This commit adds this feature to the equivalent MI command
"-data-disassemble".

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.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2-frame-tailcall.c (tailcall_frame_sniffer): Exit early if
DWARF unwinders are disabled.
* dwarf2-frame.c: Add dwarf2read.h include.
(dwarf2_frame_sniffer): Exit early if DWARF unwinders are
disabled.
(dwarf2_frame_unwinders_enabled_p): Define.
(show_dwarf_unwinders_enabled_p): New function.
(_initialize_dwarf2_frame): Register switch to control DWARF
unwinder use.
* dwarf2-frame.h (dwarf2_frame_unwinders_enabled_p): Declare.
* dwarf2read.c (set_dwarf_cmdlist): Remove static keyword.
(show_dwarf_cmdlist): Remove static keyword.
* dwarf2read.h (set_dwarf_cmdlist): Declare.
(show_dwarf_cmdlist): Declare.
* NEWS: Document new feature.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Maintenance Commands): Add description of
maintenance command to control dwarf unwinders.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/maint.exp: Add check that dwarf unwinders control flag
is visible.
