Now that make-target-delegates understands namespaces and templates,

The next patch will want to use gdb::array_view<int> as parameter type
of a target_ops method. However, that runs into a
make-target-delegates limitation: target_debug_foo calls in
target-delegates.c for parameters/return types with namespace scope
operators ("::") or template parameters, end up looking like:
@@ -1313,9 +1313,7 @@ debug_set_syscall_catchpoint (struct target_ops *self, int arg1, int arg2, int a

which obviously isn't something that compiles. The problem is that
make-target-delegates wasn't ever taught that '::', '<', and '>' can
appear in parameter/return types. You could work around it by hidding
the unsupported characters behind a typedef in the target method
declaration, or by using an explicit TARGET_DEBUG_PRINTER, but it's
better to just remove the limitation.

I noticed [1] a test bug in gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp.
Simplified, the test code in question looks somewhat like this:
~~~
# Detach from a process, and ensure that it exits after detaching.
# This relies on inferior I/O.
proc detach_and_expect_exit {test} {
gdb_test_multiple "detach" $test ....
set saw_prompt 0
set saw_inf_exit 0
while { !$saw_prompt && !$saw_inf_exit } {
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "exited, status=0" {
set saw_inf_exit 1
}
-re "$gdb_prompt " {
set saw_prompt 1
}
}
}
pass $test
}
~~~
The bug is in the while loop's condition. We want to make sure we see
both the inferior output and the prompt, so the loop's test should be:
- while { !$saw_prompt && !$saw_inf_exit } {
+ while { !$saw_prompt || !$saw_inf_exit } {
If we just fix that, the test starts failing though, because it
exposes a couple latent problems:
- When called from test_detach_killed_outside, the parent doesn't
print "exited, status=0", because in that case the child dies with a
signal, and so detach_and_expect_exit times out.
Fix it by making the parent print "signaled, sig=9" in that case,
and have the .exp expect it.
- When testing against --target_board=native-gdbserver, sometimes we'd
get this:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
ERROR: : spawn id exp9 not open
while executing
"expect {
-i exp8 -timeout 220
-i $server_spawn_id
eof {
pass $test
wait -i $server_spawn_id
unset server_spawn_id
}
timeout {
..."
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel $body" NONE : spawn id exp9 not open
The problem is that:
- inferior_spawn_id and server_spawn_id are the same when testing
with gdbserver.
- gdbserver exits after "detach", so we get an eof for
$inferior_spawn_id in the loop in detach_and_expect_exit.
That's the first "ERROR: Process no longer exists".
- and then when we reach test_server_exit, server_spawn_id
is already closed (because server_spawn_id==inferior_spawn_id).
To handle this, make the loop in detach_and_expect_exit use an
indirect spawn id list and remove $inferior_spawn_id from the list
as soon as we got the inferior output we're expecting, so that the
"eof" is left unprocessed until we reach test_server_exit.

didn't.

This is a partial fix for the gold testsuite failures documented in
PR 21090. The use of -fpie triggers some mov-to-lea optimizations that
are not compatible with incremental linking, so those optimizations need
to be disabled. We also diagnose the attempt to use -pie with incremental
linking, and force -no-pie for the incremental tests in case the build has
been configured to have GCC pass -pie all the time.
We still have a problem where compiling with -fpie results in some GOT
entries even when linking with -no-pie. This combination still causes test
failures because we are not updating the GOT entries in an incremental update
link.

The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.
It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.

* gdb.base/readnever.c, gdb.base/readnever.exp: New files.
This is a bug that's been detected while doing the readnever work.
If you use 'symbol-file' or 'add-symbol-file', the position of each
argument passed to the command matters. This means that if you do:
(gdb) symbol-file -readnow /foo/bar
The symbol file specified will (correctly) have all of its symbols
read by GDB (because of the -readnow flag). However, if you do:
(gdb) symbol-file /foo/bar -readnow
GDB will silently ignore the -readnow flag, because it was specified
after the filename. This is not a good thing to do and may confuse
the user.
To address that, I've modified the argument parsing mechanisms of
symbol_file_command and add_symbol_file_command to be
"position-independent". I have also added one error call at the end
of add_symbol_file_command's argument parsing logic, which now clearly
complains if no filename has been specified. Both commands now
support the "--" option to stop argument processing.
This patch provides a testcase for both commands, in order to make
sure that the argument order does not matter. It has been
regression-tested on BuildBot.

One of our users reported that trying to print the following expression,
caused GDB to SEGV:
(gdb) print some_package.some_type (val)
In this particular instance, the crash occurred inside ada_args_match
because it is given a NULL "func", leading to the SEGV because of:
struct type *func_type = SYMBOL_TYPE (func);
This NULL symbol comes from a list of symbols which was given to
ada_resolve_function (parameter called "syms") which then iterates
over each of them to discard the ones that don't match the actuals:
for (k = 0; k < nsyms; k += 1)
{
struct type *type = ada_check_typedef (SYMBOL_TYPE (syms[k].symbol));
if (ada_args_match (syms[k].symbol, args, nargs)
&& (fallback || return_match (type, context_type)))
[...]
}
What's really interesting is that, when entering the block above for
the first time, all entries in SYMS have a valid (non-NULL) symbol.
However, once we return from the call to ada_check_typedef, the first
entry of our SYMS table gets set to all zeros:
(gdb) p syms[0]
$2 = {symbol = 0x0, block = 0x0}
Hence the call to ada_args_match with a NULL symbol, and the ensuing
SEGV.
To find out why this happen, we need to step back a little and look
at how syms was allocated. This list of symbols comes from a symbol
lookup, which means ada_lookup_symbol_list_worker. We have our first
hint when we look at the function's documentation and see:
This vector is transient---good only to the next call of
ada_lookup_symbol_list.
Implementation-wise, this is done by using a static global obstack,
which we just re-initialize each time ada_lookup_symbol_list_worker
gets called:
obstack_free (&symbol_list_obstack, NULL);
obstack_init (&symbol_list_obstack);
This property was probably established in order to facilitate the use
of the returned vector, since the users of that function would not have
to worry about releasing that memory when no longer needed. However,
I found during this investigation that it is all to easy to indirectly
trigger another symbol lookup while still using the results of a previous
lookup.
In our particular case, there is the call to ada_check_typedef, which
leads to check_typedef. As it happens, my first symbol had a type which
was a typedef to a stub type, so check_typedef calls lookup_symbol to
find the non-stub version. This in turn eventually leads us back to
ada_lookup_symbol_list_worker, where the first thing it does is free
the memory area when our list of symbols have been residing and then
recreates a new one. in other words, SYMS then becomes a dangling
pointer!
This patch fixes the issue by having ada_lookup_symbol_list_worker
return a copy of the list of symbols, with the responsibility of
deallocating that list now transfered to the users of that list.
More generally speaking, it is absolutely amazing that we haven't seen
consequences of this issue before. This can happen fairly frequently.
For instance, I found that ada-exp.y::write_var_or_type calls
ada_lookup_symbol_list, and then, while processing that list, calls
select_possible_type_sym, which leads to ada_prefer_type, eventually
leading to ada_check_typedef again (via eg. ada_is_array_descriptor_type).
Even more amazing is the fact that, while I was able to produce multiple
scenarios where the corruption occurs, none of them leads to incorrect
behavior at the user level. In other words, it requires a very precise
set of conditions for the corruption to become user-visible, and
despite having a megalarge program where the crash occured, using that
as a template for creating a reproducer did not work (pb goes away).
This is why this patch does not come with a reproducer. On the other hand,
this should not be a problem in terms of testing coverage, as the changes
are made in common areas which, at least for the most part, are routinely
exercised during testing.

The problem is that while the command line isn't trivially empty,
it contains no input files. As gold tries to configure the number
of threads to use based on the number of input files, this causes
the assertion failure above. Fix this problem by making the logic
in gold.cc more robust and also adding a better error message
about --start-lib to options.cc.
