Consider the gdb.ada/taft_type.exp testcase, which exercises
the situation where a variable is defined using a type which
is a pointer to an incomplete type, with the actual type
definition being provided by another unit. Up to now, the
strategy used by GNAT when generating the DWARF debugging info
was to produce a incomplete DW_TAG_enumeration_type DIE with
a DW_AT_declaration flag attached to it:
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0x3e) DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "pck__empty"
# DW_AT_declaration
However, a more standard way for the compiler to describe
this kind of type is to use the DW_TAG_unspecified_type tag.
When the compiler is enhanced to do so, we'll need to treat
such types as stubs -- we only do so with types from Ada units,
however, as the meaning of this TAG is intentionally left
permissive and language-specific by the DWARF standard.
Without this patch, running the testcase above with an enhanced
compiler now yields:
(gdb) print w.e.all
Attempt to dereference a generic pointer.
FAIL: gdb.ada/taft_type.exp: print w.e.all
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_unspecified_type): Treat
DW_TAG_enumeration_type DIEs from Ada units as stubs.
Tested on x86_64-linux, fixes the FAIL in gdb.ada/taft_type.exp above.
In the past, these files needed to be handled by hand, because
the testcase was sensitive to the length of the header, which was
potentially changing when new copyright years were added to
the copyright header. Now that we simply maintain and update
a range, the length of the copyright header should not change
as a consequence of the update performed by this script, so
special handling of those files is no longer necessary.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* copyright.py (BY_HAND): Remove gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.inp
and gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.c.
There is a small logical error in the part of the script that
dumps the list of files in BY_HAND + MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS
but only checkis the contents of BY_HAND. The issue becomes
apparent as soon as BY_HAND is empty. Prevent this from happening
by treating the two lists separately, as this allows us to provide
a more informative message in the case of MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* copyright.py (main): Dump the contents of
MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS (separately) from BY_HAND,
even if BY_HAND is empty.

message.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

The code here wants to find address of an element, and often this
element is one past the end of std::vector. Dereferencing that element
leads to undefined behavior, so it's better to simply use pointer
arithmetic instead of taking address of invalid dereference.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* psymtab.c (recursively_search_psymtabs): Use pointer arithmetic
instead of dereferencing std::vector past the end.
My patch
dwarf2read: Silence -Wenum-compare-switch warning
132448f835
made some parts of dwarf2read.c ignore warnings about switch using enums
of different kinds. What I did not realize was that older Clang
versions (prior to 6) did not have that warning, and therefore give this
error:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2read.c:24187:7: error: unknown warning group '-Wenum-compare-switch', ignored [-Werror,-Wunknown-pragmas]

Clang has a way to test if it knows about a particular warning. This
patch uses that feature to only define
DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_SWITCH_DIFFERENT_ENUM_TYPES to something if the
warning is recognized by the Clang version being used. I tested
building dwarf2read.c with clang 4, 5, 6, as well as gcc.

case amd64_x32_sys_move_pages:
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this switch, we indeed use enumerators of both types
amd64_x32_syscall and amd64_syscall. This is done on purpose, and the
enum values are chosen so that they are complementary.
I think it's still a useful warning, so I chose to ignore just that
particular case.

Traditionally reggroups have been created via reggroup_new() during
initialization code and never freed. Now, if we want to initialize
reggroups dynamically (i.e. in target description) we should be able to
free them. Create this function reggroup_gdbarch_new() which will
allocate the reggroup memory onto the passed gdbarch obstack.
Also creating reggroup_find() as a utility to find a gdbarch registered
reggroup object by name.

Currently the reggroups gdbarch_data cannot be manipulated until after
the gdbarch is completely initialized. This is usually done when the
object init depends on architecture specific fields. In the case of
reggroups it only depends on the obstack being available.
Coverting this to pre_init allows using reggroups during gdbarch
initialization. This is needed to allow registering arbitrary reggroups
during gdbarch initializations.
gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd Stafford Horne <shorne@gmail.com>
* reggroups.c (reggroups_init): Change to depend only on
obstack rather than gdbarch.

<printf_field_type_assignment>: Add ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF.
While fiddling a bit with -Wunused-variable, Sergio noticed that "maint
print c-tdesc" was always generating code for the "tdesc_type
*field_type" variable, even when it wasn't used. This is caught by GCC
when using -Wunused-variable, of course.
This patch changes the print_c_tdesc class to only output the field
declaration when we actually need it.
It shouldn't be necessary to do the same with the other variable
declarations (type_with_fields and element_type), because they are
always if they are declared.
The C files in features/ are regenerated, some declarations of
field_type are removed, as expected, while some others move to where
they are used for the first time.

On Cell/B.E. multi-architecture debugging we use a "merged" address space
that encodes both the main PowerPC address space and the local store address
spaces of all active SPUs. This will always occupy 64 bits.
However, gdbarch_addr_bit is set to 32 on SPU, and may be set to 32 as well
on PowerPC. Since the new gdbarch_significant_addr_bit defaults to the
value of gdbarch_addr_bit, this means addresses may be improperly truncated.
Work around this problem by explicitly setting gdbarch_significant_addr_bit
to 64 both for the SPU target and also for PowerPC target that support
Cell/B.E. execution.

Dot products deviate from the normal disassembly rules for lane indexed
instruction. Their canonical representation is in the form of:
v0.2s, v0.8b, v0.4b[0] instead of v0.2s, v0.8b, v0.b[0] to try to denote
that these instructions select 4x 1 byte elements instead of a single 1 byte
element.
Previously we were disassembling them following the normal rules, this patch
corrects the disassembly.

Previously parse_vector_type_for_operand was changed to allow the use of 4b
register size for indexed lane instructions. However this had the unintended
side effect of also allowing 4b for normal vector registers.
Because this support was only partial the rest of the tool silently treated
4b as 8b and continued. This patch adds full support for 4b so it can be
properly distinguished from 8b and the correct errors are generated.
With this patch you still can't encode any instruction which actually requires
v<num>.4b but such instructions don't exist so to prevent needing a workaround
in get_vreg_qualifier_from_value this was just omitted.

_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms is called twice by the linker. The
first call in bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections is just to answer the
question as to whether there are there any dynamic symbols. The
second call in bfd_elf_size_dynsym_hash_dynstr sets the st_shndx value
that dynamic symbols will have. strip_excluded_output_sections is
called between these two calls. So sections seen on the first
_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms pass might differ from those seen on
the second pass. Unfortunately, that can result in a stripped
section's dynamic symbol being assigned a dynindx on the first pass
but not corrected to the final value (of zero, ie. not dynamic) on the
second pass. PowerPC, x86, mips, and most other targets that emit
dynamic section symbols, just test that section symbol dynindx is
non-zero before using a given section symbol in dynamic relocations.
This patch prevents _bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms from setting any
section symbol dynindx on the first pass.
