Tag in tagged address on AArch64 is treated as a non-significant bits of
address, which can be got by gdbarch method significant_addr_bit, and gdb
can clear these bits.
With this patch, when user sets a breakpoint on tagged address on AArch64,
GDB will drop the top byte of address, and put breakpoint at the new place,
as shown below,
(gdb) hbreak *func_ptr
warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf000000000400690 to 0x00400690.
Hardware assisted breakpoint 2 at 0x400690
(gdb) break *func_ptr
warning: Breakpoint address adjusted from 0xf000000000400690 to 0x00400690.
Breakpoint 3 at 0x400690
When program hits a breakpoint, the stopped pc reported by Linux kernel is
the address *without* tag, so it is better the address recorded in
breakpoint location is the one without tag too, so we can still match
breakpoint location address and stopped pc reported by Linux kernel, by
simple compare.

ARMv8 supports tagged address, that is, the top one byte in address
is ignored. It is always enabled on aarch64-linux. See
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.txt
The tag in the tagged address is modeled as non-significant bits in
address, so this patch adds a new gdbarch method significant_addr_bit and
clear the non-significant bits (the top byte in ARMv8) of the virtual
address at the point before passing address to target cache layer. IOW,
the address used in the target cache layer is already cleared.

Note that I used address_significant in paddress, but it causes a
regression gdb.base/long_long.exp, because gdb clears the non-significant
bits in address, but test still expects them.

This replaces parse_format_string with a class, removing some
constructors along the way. While doing this, I found that one
argument to gen_printf is unused, so I removed it.
Also, I am not completely sure, but the use of `release' in
maint_agent_printf_command and parse_cmd_to_aexpr seems like it may
leak expressions.
Regression tested by the buildbot.

Stop assuming no-debug-info functions return int
We now have to explicitly tell GDB the type of the non-debug-info
function we want to print (by casting). This commit adjusts the
"print" statement on gdb.arch/i386-sse-stack-align.exp to do the
proper cast, fixing a failure that started to happen after the

PR 22567 is that breakpoint location can't correct gdbarch from SAL,
because its fields .section and .symtab is NULL. We use to have code
setting .section, but was removed by 4024cf2

+ if (msymbol_is_function (objfile, msymbol, &func_addr))
{
- sal = find_pc_sect_line (MSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS (objfile, msymbol),
- (struct obj_section *) 0, 0);
- sal.section = MSYMBOL_OBJ_SECTION (objfile, msymbol);
this patch adds this back by moving it to the common place at the bottom
of the function.

For some reason symfile-mem.o is not included in the configuration for

"Add symfile-mem to all linux targets" --
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2005-02/msg00053.html

breakpoints/22569 involves an internal error generated by the rather
innocent looking command:
(gdb) break -source test.cpp main
.../linespec.c:3302: internal-error: void decode_line_full(...):
Assertion `result.size () == 1 || canonical->pre_expanded' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
The input string is tokenized into "-source", "test.cpp", and "main"
(input parsing breaks on whitespace). create_breakpoint is then called with
the explicit location (containing only the source file name) and "main" as
the extra_string argument.
No SaLs are created for this underspecified explicit location, and the
"result.size () == 1" evaluates false (as does the pre_expanded condition).
This triggers the assertion.
Normally string_to_explicit_location validates the input string. However,
the presence of the string "main" causes the parser to exit early:
802 else
803 {
804 /* End of the explicit location specification.
805 Stop parsing and return whatever explicit location was
806 parsed. */
807 *argp = start;
808 return location;
809 }
This bypasses the validation that is done a few lines down in this function
which would have emitted the expected error. This patch fixes that.
Additionally, this patch also fixes an inconsistency with error reporting
in this use case:
(gdb) b -source foo
Source filename requires function, label, or line offset.
(gdb) b -source foo main
No source file named foo.
These two commands should have elicited the same error message.

GDB currently does not track types defined in classes. Consider:
class A
{
public:
class B
{
public:
class C { };
};
};
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
}
This patch changes this behavior so that GDB records these nested types
and displays them to the user when he has set the (new) "print type"
option "nested-type-limit."
Example:
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 1
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
};
}
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 2
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
class A::B::C {
<no data fields>
};
};
}
By default, the code maintains the status quo, that is, it will not print
any nested type definitions at all.
Testing is carried out via cp_ptype_class which required quite a bit of
modification to permit recursive calling (for the nested types). This
was most easily facilitated by turning the ptype command output into a
queue. Upshot: the test suite now has stack and queue data structures that
may be used by test writers.

I believe the bug was introduced by my patch that changes
counted_command_line to be a shared_ptr. This causes the problem
because now the counted_command_line in commands_command_1 can be NULL,
whereas previously it never could be.

Target descriptions are allocated lazily, that is fine in GDBserver,
but it is not safe to call malloc in gdb_collect in IPA, because we
can set a fast tracepoint in malloc, and when the tracepoint is hit,
gdb_collect/malloc is called, deadlock or memory corruption may be
triggered.

The fix is to initialize all target descriptions earlier, when the

in gdb_collect, I change the test to set a breakpoint on malloc, if
IPA gdb_collect calls malloc, program will hit the breakpoint, and
test fail.

The test gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp has been failing since commit
3d415c26ba
Remove cleanups from break-catch-syscall.c
The reason is that we are putting into the group_ptr array a pointer to
the buffer of the local string object. If the string is small enough to
fit in the internal string buffer (used for small string optimizations),
the pointer will point to the local object directly. So even if we
std::move the string to the vector, the pointer in group_ptr will still
point to the local object. When we reuse that object (technically a new
instance, but most likely the same memory) for the next syscall, we'll
overwrite the previous string. The result is that we'll get less
results than expected, since there will be duplicates.
We'll also run into problems if we push the string to the vector, and
then record the c_str () pointer using the string object in the vector.
The vector might get reallocated, the string may move in memory, and our
pointer in group_ptr will point to stale memory.
Instead, we have to push all the strings first, then, when we know the
vector won't change anymore, build the group_ptr array. This is what
this patch does.

* break-catch-syscall.c (catch_syscall_completer): Get pointers

I failed at git and missed adding/lost changes on the wrong branch, the
result being that I didn't incorporate fixes resulting from Yao's review
comments. This patch fixes that.
There are two places where we should use the unique pointer typedef, and
ChangeLog entries missing.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target-descriptions.c (struct tdesc_feature) <registers>: Use
tdesc_reg_up typedef.
(struct target_desc) <features>: Use tdesc_feature_up typedef.
This patch makes tdesc_type an abstract base class and creates three
subclasses:
- tdesc_type_builtin, for builtin types
- tdesc_type_vector, for vector types
- tdesc_type_with_fields, for struct, union, flag and enum types
This allows getting rid of the union in tdesc_type and to not allow the
std::vector separately. I tried to go further and create separate
classes for struct, union, flag and enum, but it proved too difficult.
One problem is that from the point of the of the target description
code, the types tdesc_type_* are opaque (only forward-declared).
Therefore, it doesn't know about inheritance relationship between those
classes. This makes it impossible to make functions that accept a
pointer to a base class and pass a pointer to a derived class, for
example. I think this patch here is a good compromise, and if somebody
wants to improve things further, the door is open.
A make_gdb_type virtual pure method is added to tdesc_type, which
replaces the current tdesc_gdb_type function. Calling this method on a
tdesc_type returns the corresponding built gdb type.

Since we use C++11, we can use static_assert instead doing the trick
that makes a negative-sized array if the expression is false.
static_assert is built in the language and gives clearer error messages.
To avoid modifying the usages of gdb_static_assert, redefine
gdb_static_assert in terms of static_assert, passing an empty message.
If we want to add an assert with a message, it's always possible to use
static_assert directly.

With the new "-a" command line option, the user may request gcore to
actually dump all present memory mappings. The actual effect of this

On GNU/Linux, it will disable use-coredump-filter and enable
dump-excluded-mappings.

* gcore.in: Add "-a" command line option for instructing gdb to
dump all memory mappings (OS dependent).
Commit df8411da08 implemented support for
checking /proc/PID/coredump_filter, and also changed gcore behavior to
unconditionally honor the VM_DONTDUMP flag, preventing sections marked
as such for being dumped into the core file.
This patch implements the 'set dump-excluded-mappings' command for
instructing gdb to ignore the VM_DONTDUMP flag. Combined with 'set
use-coredump-filter', this allows the user to restore the old behavior,
dumping all sections (except the ones marked as IO) unconditionally.

* gdb.texinfo (Rust): Update trait object status
PR gdb/22499 is about a latent bug exposed by the switch to "maint set
target-non-stop on" by default on x86-64 GNU/Linux, a while ago. With
that on, GDB is also preferring to use displaced-stepping by default.
The testcase in the bug is failing because GDB ends up incorrectly
displaced-stepping over a RIP-relative VEX-encoded instruction, like
this:
0x00000000004007f5 <+15>: c5 fb 10 05 8b 01 00 00 vmovsd 0x18b(%rip),%xmm0 # 0x400988
While RIP-relative instructions need adjustment when relocated to the
scratch pad, GDB ends up just copying VEX-encoded instructions to the
scratch pad unmodified, with the end result that the inferior ends up
executing an instruction that fetches/writes memory from the wrong
address...
This patch teaches GDB about the VEX-encoding prefixes, fixing the
problem, and adds a testcase that fails without the GDB fix.
I think we may need a similar treatment for EVEX-encoded instructions,
but I didn't address that simply because I couldn't find any
EVEX-encoded RIP-relative instruction in the gas testsuite. In any
case, this commit is forward progress as-is already.

The next patch will want to use gdb::array_view<int> as parameter type

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:

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.

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.
Tested on the BuildBot.

* 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 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.
Tested on the BuildBot.

The bug was that the "-include" for .deps files was using the wrong file

cli/.deps/cli-decode.o.

This patch introduces a testcase that exercises a scenario
which used to trigger an internal-error, but no longer does:
Consider the following array:
type Small is new Integer range Ident (1) .. Ident (10);
type Table is array (1 .. 3) of Small;
A1 : Table := (3, 5, 8);
The particularity of this array is that the type of each element
is a range type whose bounds are dynamic, since they depend on
the value returned by Ident (1) and Ident (10). Trying to apply
the repeat operator ('@') on one of its elements used to yield
an internal error:
(gdb) p a1(1)@3
$1 =
/[...]/gdbtypes.c:4512: internal-error:
copy_type: Assertion `TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (type)' failed.
Although the issue no longer appears, the testcase is still
interesting to have.

This is the previously mentioned patch to get rid of
unstructured/ioctl-based procfs support in procfs.c. Given that support
for structured procfs was introduced in Solaris 2.6 back in 1997 and
we're just removing support for Solaris < 10, there's no point in
carrying that baggage (and tons of support for IRIX and OSF/1 as well)
around any longer.
Most of the patch should be straightforward (removing support for
!NEW_PROC_API, non-Solaris OSes and pre-Solaris 10 quirks).
Only a few points need explanations:
* <sys/syscall.h> was already included unconditionally in most places,
so there's no need to have guards in a few remaining ones.
* configure.host already obsoletes i?86-*-sysv4.2, i?86-*-sysv5, so
NEW_PROC_API detection for those in configure.ac can go.
* I'm still including <sys/procfs.h> with #define _STRUCTURED_PROC 1.
Theoretically, it would be better to include <procfs.h> on Solaris
(which includes that define), but that breaks the build over
<procfs.h> vs. gdb's "procfs.h", and doesn't exist on Linux.
* I've regenerated syscall_table[] in proc-events.c with a small script
from Solaris 10, 11.3, 11.4 <sys/syscall.h>, so there should be no
traces of older Solaris versions and other OSes left.
* prsysent_t and DYNAMIC_SYSCALLS was only used for AIX 5, but AIX
doesn't use procfs.c any longer, so all related code can go.
The patch was generated with diff -w so one can easier see changes
without being distracted by simple reindentations.
So far, it has only been compiled and smoke-tested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.1[01], sparcv9-sun-solaris2.1[01], and
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Certainly needs more testing (Solaris 11.3
vs. 11.4, 32-bit gdb, testsuite once I've figured out what's wrong on
Solaris 10 etc.), but it's enough to get a first impression how much
cleanup is possible here.

This patch fixes a potential issue which was noticed by code inspection:
ada-lang.c::to_fixed_range_type uses gdbtypes.c::create_static_range_type
to create most of the range type, which relies on create_range_type to
do most of the work. The latter has the following piece of code which
sets the length of the range type to match the length of the index_type:
if (TYPE_STUB (index_type))
TYPE_TARGET_STUB (result_type) = 1;
else
TYPE_LENGTH (result_type) = TYPE_LENGTH (check_typedef (index_type));
In Ada, it is actually possible to have a range type whose size
is smaller than its base type. For instance, with:
type Unsigned2_T is range 0 .. 2 ** 16 - 1;
for Unsigned2_T'SIZE use 16;
The compiler generates the following DWARF:
.uleb128 0x3 # (DIE (0x4e) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.byte 0x2 # DW_AT_byte_size
.byte 0 # DW_AT_lower_bound
.value 0xffff # DW_AT_upper_bound
.long .LASF64 # DW_AT_name: "try__unsigned2_t___XDLU_0__65535"
.long 0x616 # DW_AT_type
... which points to the following base type...
.uleb128 0x1d # (DIE (0x616) DW_TAG_base_type)
.byte 0x4 # DW_AT_byte_size
.byte 0x5 # DW_AT_encoding
.long .LASF57 # DW_AT_name: "try__Tunsigned2_tB"
# DW_AT_artificial
... which has a size of 4 bytes.
With a type like this one, create_range_type returns a type whose
size is 4 bytes, instead of 2, which is not what we we would normally
expect.
Currently, this function is only used to handle array index types,
so the length of the type actually does not matter and there should
not be any user-visible consequences of the current behavior. But
it seems best to plug this latent bug now, rather than wait for it
to surface....
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (to_fixed_range_type): Make sure that the size
of the range type being returned is the same as the size
of the range type being fixed.

Trying to set a breakpoint in a function with an ABI tag does not work
currently. E.g., debugging gdb itself, we see this with the
"string_printf" function:
(top-gdb) b string_print [TAB]
(top-gdb) b string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...) [RET]
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
Quoting doesn't help:
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11]'(char const*, ...)
malformed linespec error: unexpected string, "(char const*, ...)"
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)'
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
This patch fixes this, and takes it a bit further.
The actual symbol name as demangled by libiberty's demangler is really
string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)
however, this patch makes it possible to set the breakpoint with
string_printf(char const*, ...)
too. I.e., ignoring the ABI tag.
And to match, it teaches the completer to complete the symbol name
without the ABI tag, i.e.,
"string_pri<TAB>" -> "string_printf(char const*, ...)"
If however, you really want to break on a symbol with the tag, then
you simply start writing the tag, and GDB will preserve it, like:
"string_printf[a<TAB>" -> "string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)"

* gdb.texinfo (Debugging C Plus Plus): Document setting
breakpoints in functions with ABI tags.
This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()

(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
(gdb) b B::function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)
To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit). For example:
(gdb) b B::function
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
vs:
(gdb) b -qualified B::function
B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const
I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".
Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations. I.e., these are equivalent:
(gdb) b -q func
(gdb) b -q -f func
and so are these:
(gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
(gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q
To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.
(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)
Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:
- makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
last-component name only).
- adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.
- adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
they mean it.
- adds new testsuite tests.
- adds unit tests.

A following patch will add support for wild matching for C++ symbols,
making completing on "b push_ba" on a C++ program complete to
std::vector<...>::push_back, std::string::push_back etc., like:
(gdb) b push_ba[TAB]
std::vector<...>::push_back(....)
std::string<...>::push_back(....)
Currently, we compute the "lowest common denominator" between all
completion candidates (what the input line is adjusted to) as the
common prefix of all matches. That's problematic with wild matching
as above, as then we'd end up with TAB changing the input line to
"b std::", losing the original input, like:
(gdb) b push_ba[TAB]
std::vector<...>::push_back(....)
std::string<...>::push_back(....)
(gdb) b std::
while obviously we'd want it to adjust itself to "b push_back(" instead:
(gdb) b push_ba[TAB]
std::vector<...>::push_back(....)
std::string<...>::push_back(....)
(gdb) b push_back(

nothing really makes use of it yet in this patch.

The recent-ish commit e5f25bc5d6 ('Fix "list ambiguous_variable"')
caused a serious regression on PPC64. See
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-11/msg00666.html>.
Basically, after that patch, GDB sets breakpoints in function
descriptors instead of where the descriptors point to, which is
incorrect.
The problem is that GDB now only runs a minsym's address through
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr if msymbol_is_text returns true.
However, if the symbol points to a function descriptor,
msymbol_is_text is false since function descriptors are in fact
outside the text section.
The fix is to also run a non-text address through
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr, and if that detects that it was
indeed a function descriptor, treat the resulting address as a
function.
While implementing that directly in linespec.c:minsym_found (where the
bad msymbol_is_text check is) fixes the issue, I noticed that
linespec.c:add_minsym has some code that also basically needs to do
the same checks, however it's implemented differently. Also,
add_minsym is calling find_pc_sect_line on non-function symbols, which
also doesn't look right.
So I introduced msymbol_is_function, so that we have a simple place to
consider minsyms and function descriptors.
And then, the only other use of msymbol_is_text is in
find_function_alias_target, which turns out to also be incorrect.
Changing that one to use msymbol_is_function, i.e., to consider
function descriptors too fixes (on PPC64):
-FAIL: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p func_alias
-FAIL: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p *func_alias()
+PASS: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p func_alias
+PASS: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p *func_alias()
And then after that, msymbol_is_text is no longer used anywhere, so it
can be removed.
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux, no regressions. Tested on PPC64 GNU/Linux
and results compared to a testrun of e5f25bc5d6db^ (before the
offending commit), also no regressions. (there's a couple new FAILs
and some new symbol name matching unit tests are crashing, but that
looks unrelated).

The following patch introduced a new feature related to Ada exception
catchpoints:
commit e547c119d0
Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>
Date: Fri Nov 24 17:09:42 2017 -0500
Subject: (Ada) provide the exception message when hitting an exception catchpoint
Unfortunately, the patch left 2 errors in gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp,
both inside the "continue_to_exception" function:
1. The exception message on the console can include the exception
message, and thus this patch adjust the expected output in
the corresponding gdb_expect call to allow it;
to allow it.
2. There was a TCL syntax confusion in "$exception_name(..."
that caused TCL to evaluate "exception_name as an array,
rather than as a variable. This patch fixes this by escaping
the '(' (and the corresponding closing parenthesis, for
consistency).
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp (continue_to_exception): Adjust
expected output in gdb_expect call to allow the exception
message to be present as well. Fix syntax confusion to avoid

While playing with valgrind, I noticed that with Python 3, the progname
variable in do_start_initialization is not being freed (concat returns a

should not be freed. We therefore release it before passing it.

Switching spu_software_single_step to use a regcache instead of a frame:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-11/msg00355.html
cause a serious regression to SPU single-stepping.
There were two separate problems:
- SPU_LSLR_REGNUM is a pseudo register, so we must use the "cooked"
regcache methods instead of the "raw" ones to access it.
- When accessing a branch target register, we must only use the first
four bytes of the 16-byte vector register. This was done automatically
by the frame routines, but not by the regcache routines.

Pedro has kindly pointed out that
gdb.arch/amd64-stap-optional-prefix.exp was failing after my
C++-ification patches touching the probe interface. The failure is
kind of cryptic:
77 break -pstap bar
78 Breakpoint 3 at 0x40048d
79 (gdb) PASS: gdb.arch/amd64-stap-optional-prefix.exp: bar: break -pstap bar
80 continue
81 Continuing.
82
83 Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
84 main () at amd64-stap-optional-prefix.S:26
85 26 STAP_PROBE1(probe, foo, (%rsp))
It took me a while to figure out where this SIGILL is coming from.
Initially I thought it was something related to writing registers to
the inferior when dealing with probe arguments, but I discarded this
since the arguments were not touching any registers.
In the end, this was a mistake that was introduced during the review
process of the patch. When setting/clearing a SystemTap probe's
semaphore, the code was using 'm_address' (which refers the probe's
address) instead of 'm_sem_addr' (which refers to the semaphore's
address). This caused GDB to write a bogus value in the wrong memory
position, which in turn caused the SIGILL.
I am pushing this patch to correct the mistake.
On a side note: I told Pedro that the BuildBot hadn't caught the
failure during my try build, and for a moment there was a suspicion
that the BuildBot might be at fault here. However, I investigate this
and noticed that I only did one try build, with a patch that was
correctly using 'm_sem_addr' where applicable, and therefore no
failure should have happened indeed. I probably should have requested
another try build after addressing the review's comments, but they
were mostly basic and I didn't think it was needed. Oh, well.

Earlier while working on the big completer rework series, I managed to
break
(gdb) [TAB]
locally, and make GDB crash, but only notice a few weeks down the
road, because we have no test for that...
I also noticed that:
(gdb) [TAB]
didn't work (didn't show all commands as matches), even though
entering a command with leading whitespace works:
(gdb) help
This commit fixes the latter and adds a testcase that covers both
issues.
The gdb.base/completion.exp change is necessary because the new test
has a file name that also starts with "gdb.base/complet", making that
particular test ambiguous. Adding another letter disambiguates.

This exercises the special handling C++ operators require in several
places in the linespec parser, both the linespec and explicit location
completers, symbol lookup, etc. Particularly, makes sure all that
works without quoting.
Note that despite the apparent smallish size, this adds thousands of
tests to the testsuite, due to combination explosion (linespecs,
explicit locations, tab completion, complete command, completion at
different points in each function, etc.)

Exercises all sorts of aspects fixed by previous patches, going back a
few months.
- Exercises label completion, linespecs and explicit locations.
- Exercises both quoting vs non-quoting, source filenames, function
names, labels, with both linespecs and explicit locations.
- Tests corner cases around not-quoting function names, and
whitespace and/and completing inside a parameter or template
argument list, anonymous namespace awareness, etc.
E.g.,
"break foo<[TAB]" -> "break foo<int>()"
"break bar ( int[TAB]" -> "break bar ( int)
"break ( anon" -> "break ( anonymous namespace)::func()"
"b cfunc() [tab]" -> "b cfunc() const"
"b rettype templfunc[tab]" -> "b rettype templfunc<bar>()"
... and others.
- Tests the "b source.c[TAB] -> b source.cc:" feature. I.e., colon
auto-appending.
- Exercises corner cases around C++ "operator<" / "operator<<".
(Much more extensive C++ operator completion/linespec handling in a
separate patch.)
- Exercises both tab completion and "complete" command completion,
using routines that handle it automatically, to ensure no test
forgets either mode.
- Many of the completion tests test completion at at prefix of a
given tricky name, to make sure all corner cases are covered.
E.g., completing before, at and after ":", "(", "<".
- Exercises "keyword" completion. I.e., "b function() [TAB]"
displaying "if task thread" as completion match list. Likewise for
display explicit location options matches at the appropriate
points.
- Ensures that the completer finds the same breakpoint locations that
setting a breakpoint finds.
- Tests that linespec/location completion doesn't find data symbols.
- Tests that expression completion still kicks in after a
linespec/location keyword. I.e., this:
"b function () if global1 + global[TAB]"
knows that after "if", you're completing on an expression, and thus
breaks words after "if" as an expression and matches on "global" as
a data symbol.
- Adds common routines to help with all the above, to be used by
multiple completion and linespec/location test cases.
- More...

currently "b func tion" manages to set a breakpoint at "function" !
All these years I had never noticed this, but now that the linespec
completer actually works, this easily happens by accident, with:
"b func t<tab>"
expecting to get "thread", but getting instead:
"b func tion"
...
Also, this:
"b rettypefunc<int>"
manages to set a breakpoint on "rettype func<int>()".
These things happen due to strcmp_iw "magic".
Fix it by teaching strcmp_iw about when can it skip whitespace. This
required handling user-defined operators, and scope operators,
complicating the code a bit, unfortunately. I added unit tests for
all the corner cases I stumbled on, as I was developing this, and then
in the end wrote a testsuite testcase covering many of the same things
and more (to be added later).

This patch enhances the debugger to print the exception message, when
available, as part of an exception catchpoint hit notification (both
GDB/CLI and GDB/MI). For instance, with the following code...
procedure A is
begin
raise Constraint_Error with "hello world";
end A;
... instead of printing...
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR at 0x000000000040245c in a () at a.adb:3
... it now prints:
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR (hello world) at 0x000000000040245c in a ()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This enhancement requires runtime support. If not present, the debugger
just behaves as before.
In GDB/MI mode, if the exception message is available, it is provided
as an extra field named "exception-message" in the catchpoint notification:
*stopped,bkptno="1",[...],exception-name="CONSTRAINT_ERROR",
exception-message="hello world",[...]

While writing a unit test for parse_memory_map, I tried to validate my
test input against gdb-memory-map.dtd, and found a few problems with it.
This doesn't influence how gdb parses it (AFAIK it doesn't use the
linked dtd), but if you edit the xml file in an editor that supports
dtds, you'll get plenty of errors.
- The <memory-map> element accepts exactly one <memory> OR <property>
as a child. This is a problem because you can't have multiple
<memory> elements and you shouldn't be able to have <property> elements
as direct children of <memory-map>.
- The <memory> element wants exactly one <property> child. This is
wrong, since you could have zero or more (even though we only
support one kind of property currently).
- I have no idea wht the device attribute of <memory> is, GDB doesn't
read that. I searched back in time a bit but couldn't find a trace
of it.
I took the opportunity to tighten what is accepted as a value of the
memory type and property name attributes. We currently accept any
string, but we can restrict them to the values GDB really accepts (and
which are documented).
AFAIK, this "file" only exists in the documentation, in gdb.texinfo, so
this is what I modified. However, it's also available at
http://sourceware.org/gdb/gdb-memory-map.dtd. This one should be
updated too, but I don't know how that should be done.

This patch (finally!) makes it so that trying to use XNEW with a type
that requires "new" will cause a compilation error. The criterion I
initially used to allow a type to use XNEW (which calls malloc in the
end) was std::is_trivially_constructible, but then realized that gcc 4.8
did not have it. Instead, I went with:
using IsMallocatable = std::is_pod<T>;
which is just a bit more strict, which doesn't hurt. A similar thing is
done for macros that free instead of allocated, the criterion is:
using IsFreeable = gdb::Or<std::is_trivially_destructible<T>, std::is_void<T>>;
Trying to use XNEW on a type that requires new will result in an error
like this:

There are multiple definitions of the private_thread_info structure
compiled in the same GDB build. Because of the one definition rule, we
need to change this if we want to be able to make them non-POD (e.g. use
std::vector fields). This patch creates a class hierarchy, with
private_thread_info being an abstract base class, and all the specific
implementations inheriting from it.
In order to poison XNEW/xfree for non-POD types, it is also needed to
get rid of the xfree in thread_info::~thread_info, which operates on an
opaque type. This is replaced by thread_info::priv now being a
unique_ptr, which calls the destructor of the private_thread_info
subclass when the thread is being destroyed.
Including gdbthread.h from darwin-nat.h gave these errors:
/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbthread.h:609:3: error: must use 'class' tag to refer to type 'thread_info' in this scope

^
class
/usr/include/mach/thread_act.h:240:15: note: class 'thread_info' is hidden by a non-type declaration of 'thread_info' here
kern_return_t thread_info
^
It turns out that there is a thread_info function in the Darwin/XNU/mach API:
http://web.mit.edu/darwin/src/modules/xnu/osfmk/man/thread_info.html
Therefore, I had to add the class keyword at a couple of places in gdbthread.h,

This patch C++ifies the thread_item and threads_listing_context
structures in remote.c. thread_item::{extra,name} are changed to
std::string. As a result, there's a bit of awkwardness in
remote_update_thread_list, where we have to xstrdup those strings when
filling the private_thread_info structure. This is removed in the
following patch, where private_thread_info is also C++ified and its
corresponding fields made std::string too. The xstrdup then becomes an
std::move.
Other than that there's nothing really special, it's a usual day-to-day
VEC -> vector and char* -> std::string change. It allows removing a
cleanup in remote_update_thread_list.
Note that an overload of hex2bin that returns a gdb::byte_vector is
added, with corresponding selftests.

There are currently multiple definitions of private_inferior, defined in
remote.c and darwin-nat.h. The patch that poisons XNEW and friends for
non-POD types trips on that, because private_inferior is freed in
~inferior(), where it is an opaque type. Since the compiler can't tell
whether the type is POD, it gives an error. Also, we can't start using
C++ features in these structures (make them non-POD) as long as there
are multiple definitions with the same name. For these reasons, this
patch makes a class hierarchy, with private_inferior being the abstract
base class, and darwin_inferior & remote_inferior inheriting from it.
Destruction is done through the virtual destructor.
I stumbled on some suspicious code in the darwin implementation though.
darwin_check_new_threads does an XCNEW(darwin_thread_t) when it finds a
new thread, allocating a new structure for it (darwin_thread_t is a
typedef for private_thread_info). It then VEC_safe_pushes it in a
vector defined as DEF_VEC_O (a vector of objects). This means that the
structure content gets copied in the vector. The thread_info object is
created with the XCNEW'ed structure as the private thread info, while
the rest of the code works with the instance in the vector. We have
therefore two distinct instances of darwin_thread_t/private_thread_info
for each thread. This is not really a problem in practice, because
thread_info::priv is not used in the darwin code. I still find it weird
and far from ideal, so I tried to fix it by changing the vector to be a
vector of pointers. There should now be a single instance of the
structure for each thread. The deallocation of the
darwin_thread_t/private_thread_info structure is done by the thread_info
destructor.

value of cooked_read, 2) how are target_ops to_xfer_partial,
to_{fetch,store}_registers called (because regcache is updated by means of
these three target_ops methods). With this test here, we have a clear

register_changed_p actually returns bool, but return type is still int.
This patch changes the return type to bool. The caller of
register_changed_p also checked whether the return value can be negative,
which is not needed now. Such check was added in fb40c2090 in 2000,
at that moment, register_changed_p returns -1 when
read_relative_register_raw_bytes fails. I can tell from its name that
it reads register contents, but we don't have this function called inside
register_changed_p, and the regcache is read-only.

C++ify osdata

introduced a memory leak. We allocate std::vectors and insert them in a
map, but never free them. Instead, the map value type can be
std::vector objects directly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-main.c (list_available_thread_groups): Change map value
type to std::vector.
While working on the previous patch, I renamed variables whose type I
changed to let the compiler help me find their usages, but I forgot to
rename one back to its original name. This patch fixes it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* varobj.c (struct varobj_dynamic) <children_requested_>: Rename
back to...
<children_requested>: ... this.
(varobj_get_num_children, varobj_update): Adjust.
clang accepts option -g3 too. I checked the manual of xlc and icc, looks
they don't accept -g3 option, so I don't pass -g3 for them.
gdb/testsuite:
2017-11-23 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/macscp.exp: Append -g3 to additional_flags for clang.
This patch converts the DTrace probe
interface (gdb/dtrace-probe.[ch]) to C++, and also performs some
cleanups that were on my TODO list for a while.
The main changes were the conversion of 'struct dtrace_probe' to 'class
dtrace_probe', and a new 'class dtrace_static_probe_ops' to replace the
use of 'dtrace_probe_ops'. Both classes implement the virtual methods
exported by their parents, 'class probe' and 'class static_probe_ops',
respectively. I believe it's now a bit simpler to understand the
logic behind the dtrace-probe interface.
There are several helper functions used to parse parts of a dtrace
probe, and since they are generic and don't need to know about the
probe they're working on, I decided to leave them as simple static
functions (instead of e.g. converting them to class methods).
I've also converted a few uses of "VEC" to "std::vector", which makes
the code simpler and easier to maintain. And, as usual, some cleanups
here and there.
Even though I'm sending a series of patches, they need to be tested
and committed as a single unit, because of inter-dependencies. But it
should be easier to review in separate logical units.
I wasn't able to test these modifications because the current test
framework for DTrace probes is not working. See
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22420>.

This patch converts the generic probe interface (gdb/probe.[ch]) to
C++, and also performs some cleanups that were on my TODO list for a
while.
The main changes were the conversion of 'struct probe' to 'class
probe', and 'struct probe_ops' to 'class static_probe_ops'. The
former now contains all the "dynamic", generic methods that act on a
probe + the generic data related to it; the latter encapsulates a
bunch of "static" methods that relate to the probe type, but not to a
specific probe itself.
I've had to do a few renamings (e.g., on 'struct bound_probe' the
field is called 'probe *prob' now, instead of 'struct probe *probe')
because GCC was complaining about naming the field using the same name
as the class. Nothing major, though. Generally speaking, the logic
behind and the design behind the code are the same.
Even though I'm sending a series of patches, they need to be tested
and committed as a single unit, because of inter-dependencies. But it
should be easier to review in separate logical units.
I've regtested this patch on BuildBot, no regressions found.

A recent patch introduced a call to warning, and the string used

trailing newline at end of string in call to warning.
Tested on powerpc-eabispe, no regression.
This patch c++ifies the osdata structure: osdata_column, osdata_item and
osdata. char* are replaced with std::string and VEC are replaced with
std::vector. This allows to get rid of a great deal of cleanup and
free'ing code.
I replaced the splay tree in list_available_thread_groups with an
std::map. Unless there's a good advantage to keep using a splay tree,
I think using the standard type should make things simpler to
understand.

Currently, optimized out variables are not shown when doing "info
locals". Some users found that confusing, thinking GDB forgot to print
their variable. This patch adds them to the "info locals" output. I
added a test in gdb.dwarf2 to test for that behavior. I think doing a
synthetic DWARF test is the easiest way to have an optimized out local
variable for sure.
However, this change reveals what I think is a bug in GDB, see:
http://lists.dwarfstd.org/pipermail/dwarf-discuss-dwarfstd.org/2017-September/004394.html
This patch marks the tests in inline-locals.exp that start failing as
KFAIL. I'd like to tackle this bug eventually, but I don't have the
time right now. I think it's still better to show an extra erroneous
entry than to not show the optimized out variables at all. I haven't
created a bug in bugzilla yet, but if we agree it's indeed a bug, I'll
create one and update the setup_kfail lines with the actual bug number
before pushing.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* stack.c (iterate_over_block_locals): Add LOC_OPTIMIZED_OUT
case in switch.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.opt/inline-locals.exp: Mark tests as KFAIL.
* gdb.dwarf2/info-locals-optimized-out.exp: New file.
* gdb.dwarf2/info-locals-optimized-out.c: New file.
