This patch starts from the desire to eliminate
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete, but then goes beyond. It makes ui_file &
friends a real C++ class hierarchy, and switches temporary
ui_file-like objects to stack-based allocation.
- mem_fileopen -> string_file
mem_fileopen is replaced with a new string_file class that is treated
as a value class created on the stack. This alone eliminates most
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete calls, and, simplifies code a whole lot
(diffstat shows around 1k loc dropped.)
string_file's internal buffer is a std::string, thus the "string" in
the name. This simplifies the implementation much, compared to
mem_fileopen, which managed growing its internal buffer manually.
- ui_file_as_string, ui_file_strdup, ui_file_obsavestring all gone
The new string_file class has a string() method that provides direct
writable access to the internal std::string buffer. This replaced
ui_file_as_string, which forced a copy of the same data the stream had
inside. With direct access via a writable reference, we can instead
move the string out of the string_stream, avoiding deep string
copying.
Related, ui_file_xstrdup calls are replaced with xstrdup'ping the
stream's string, and ui_file_obsavestring is replaced by
obstack_copy0.
With all those out of the way, getting rid of the weird ui_file_put
mechanism was possible.
- New ui_file::printf, ui_file::puts, etc. methods
These simplify / clarify client code. I considered splitting
client-code changes, like these, e.g.:
- stb = mem_fileopen ();
- fprintf_unfiltered (stb, "%s%s%s",
- _("The valid values are:\n"),
- regdesc,
- _("The default is \"std\"."));
+ string_file stb;
+ stb.printf ("%s%s%s",
+ _("The valid values are:\n"),
+ regdesc,
+ _("The default is \"std\"."));
In two steps, with the first step leaving fprintf_unfiltered (etc.)
calls in place, and only afterwards do a pass to change all those to
call stb.printf etc.. I didn't do that split, because (when I tried),
it turned out to be pointless make-work: the first pass would have to
touch the fprintf_unfiltered line anyway, to replace "stb" with
"&stb".
- gdb_fopen replaced with stack-based objects
This avoids the need for cleanups or unique_ptr's. I.e., this:
struct ui_file *file = gdb_fopen (filename, "w");
if (filename == NULL)
perror_with_name (filename);
cleanups = make_cleanup_ui_file_delete (file);
// use file.
do_cleanups (cleanups);
is replaced with this:
stdio_file file;
if (!file.open (filename, "w"))
perror_with_name (filename);
// use file.
- odd contorsions in null_file_write / null_file_fputs around when to
call to_fputs / to_write eliminated.
- Global null_stream object
A few places that were allocating a ui_file in order to print to
"nowhere" are adjusted to instead refer to a new 'null_stream' global
stream.
- TUI's tui_sfileopen eliminated. TUI's ui_file much simplified
The TUI's ui_file was serving a dual purpose. It supported being used
as string buffer, and supported being backed by a stdio FILE. The
string buffer part is gone, replaced by using of string_file. The
'FILE *' support is now much simplified, by making the TUI's ui_file
inherit from stdio_file.

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Using ui_file_as_string would imply changing a few prototypes to pass
around source and object file names as std::string. Instead of that,
wrap those two in a new class. This ends up eliminating a small
wrinkle: get_new_file_names and compile_object_load have swapped
parameters. The former takes "source, objfile", while the latter
takes "objfile, source".

This patch fixes C++ build errors like this:
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:1126:35: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘filterflags’ [-fpermissive]
| COREFILTER_HUGETLB_PRIVATE);
^
This is a case of enums used as bit flags. Unlike "regular" enums,
these values are supposed to be or'ed together. However, in C++, the
type of "(ENUM1 | ENUM2)" is int, and you then can't assign an int to
an enum variable without a cast. That means that this:
enum foo_flags flags = 0;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG1;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG2;
... would have to be written as:
enum foo_flags flags = (enum foo_flags) 0;
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG1);
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG2);
which is ... ugly. Alternatively, we'd have to use an int for the
variable's type, which isn't ideal either.
This patch instead adds an "enum flags" class. "enum flags" are
exactly the enums where the values are bits that are meant to be ORed
together.
This allows writing code like the below, while with raw enums this
would fail to compile without casts to enum type at the assignments to
'f':
enum some_flag
{
flag_val1 = 1 << 1,
flag_val2 = 1 << 2,
flag_val3 = 1 << 3,
flag_val4 = 1 << 4,
};
DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE(enum some_flag, some_flags)
some_flags f = flag_val1 | flag_val2;
f |= flag_val3;
It's also possible to assign literal zero to an enum flags variable
(meaning, no flags), dispensing either adding an awkward explicit "no
value" value to the enumeration or the cast to assignments from 0.
For example:
some_flags f = 0;
f |= flag_val3 | flag_val4;
Note that literal integers other than zero do fail to compile:
some_flags f = 1; // error
C is still supported -- DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE is just a typedef in that
case.

It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.
I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.
There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

* gdb.compile/compile-print.exp: New file.
This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.
