Consider the following Ada code defining a global variable whose
type is an array of static bounds (1 .. 2), but where its elements
are a variant record whose size is not statically known:
type Ints is array (Natural range <>) of Integer;
type Bounded_Ints (Max_Size : Natural) is record
Length : Natural := 0;
Objs : Ints (1 .. Max_Size);
end record;
type Ints_Doubled is array (1 .. 2) of Bounded_Ints (Idem (0));
Global : Ints_Doubled;
When compiling this program at -O2 using a GCC-6.4-based compiler
on x86_64-linux, trying to print the value of that global variable
yields:
(gdb) p global
$1 =
Let's look at the debugging info, which starts with the global
variable itself...

[snip]
The error occurs while Ada evaluator is trying to "fix"
the element type inside the array, so as to determine its actual
size. For that, it searches for a parallel "XVZ" variable,
which, when found, contains the object's actual size.
Unfortunately in our case, the variable exists but has been
optimized out, as seen by the presence of a variable DIE in
the debugging info, but with no address attribute:
.uleb128 0x18 # (DIE (0x24e) DW_TAG_variable)
.long .LASF31 # DW_AT_name: "fd__Tints_doubledC___XVZ"
.long 0x257 # DW_AT_type
# DW_AT_artificial
Discussing this with some members of AdaCore's compiler team,
it is expected that the optimizer can get rid of this variable,
and we don't want to pessimize the code just to improve debuggability,
since -O2 is about performance. So, the idea of this patch is
not to make it work, but provide a bit more information to help
users understand what kind of error is preventing GDB from being
able to print the variable's value.
The first hurdle we had to clear was the fact that ada_val_print
traps all exceptions (including QUIT ones!), and does so completly
silently. So, the fix was to add a trace of the exception being
generated. While doing so, we fix an old XXX/FIXME by only catching
errors, letting QUIT exceptions go through.
Once this is done, we now get an error message, which gives a first
clue as to what was happening:
(gdb) p fd.global
$1 = <error reading variable: value has been optimized out>
However, it would be more useful to know which value it was
that was optimized out. For that purpose, we enhanced
ada-lang.c::ada_to_fixed_type_1 so as to re-throw the error
with a message which indicates which variable we failed to read.
With those changes, the new output is now:
(gdb) p fd.global
$1 = <error reading variable: unable to read value of fd__Tints_doubledC___XVZ (value has been optimized out)>

Consider the following code, which declares a variabled called "input"
of type "parameter", which is a record with one component called "u2",
where the type of that component is a simple 3-element array of
floating point values:
type Float_Array_3 is array (1 .. 3) of Float;
type parameters is record
u2 : Float_Array_3;
end record;
input : parameters;
Trying to assign a value to input.u2 causes GDB to crash:
(gdb) p input.u2 := (0.25,0.5,0.75)
[1] 20228 segmentation fault (core dumped) [...]/gdb
The crash occurs because input.u2 is described in the debugging
info as a typedef of an array. Indeed, input's type is:
<1><ae9>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<aea> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1045): target_wrapper__parameters
[...]
<2><af5>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_member)
<af6> DW_AT_name : u2
[...]
<afb> DW_AT_type : <0xaca>
and, looking at DIE 0xaca to get input.u2's type, we see:
<1><aca>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_typedef)
<acb> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1060): target_wrapper__float_array_3
[...]
<ad1> DW_AT_type : <0xad5>
We can also confirm, following the DW_AT_type attribute (0xad5), that
it's a typedef of our array:
<1><ad5>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<ad6> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1060): target_wrapper__float_array_3
[...]
In fact, this scenario uncovered 2 areas where typedef handling
is missing, thus causing a crash. The first happens inside
assign_aggregate:
if (ada_is_direct_array_type (lhs_type))
{
lhs = ada_coerce_to_simple_array (lhs);
lhs_type = value_type (lhs);
low_index = TYPE_ARRAY_LOWER_BOUND_VALUE (lhs_type);
high_index = TYPE_ARRAY_UPPER_BOUND_VALUE (lhs_type);
}
Here, lhs_type is a TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF. ada_is_direct_array_type
knows how to handle it, but TYPE_ARRAY_LOWER_BOUND_VALUE assumes
that the given type is a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY. As such, it ends up
accessing some fields in lhs_type which it shouldn't, and kaboom.
We fixed this issue by making sure that the TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF
layer gets stripped.
Once this is done, we hit a different kind of error, also leading to
a SEGV, this time in assign_component. The code looks like this:
if (TYPE_CODE (value_type (lhs)) == TYPE_CODE_ARRAY)
[...]
else
[...]
Because once again lhs is a TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF, the check fail,
and we end up assuming that lhs is a struct, executing the "else"
block, which is:
else
{
elt = ada_index_struct_field (index, lhs, 0, value_type (lhs));
elt = ada_to_fixed_value (elt);
}
Since lhs is not a struct, ada_index_struct_field returns NULL,
which ada_to_fixed_value does not handle well, hence another crash.
This patch fixes this other issue the same way, by stripping
TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF layers.

Using this small example:
procedure Foo is
type Integer_Access is access all Integer;
procedure P (A : Integer_Access) is
begin
null;
end P;
begin
P (null);
end Foo;
and doing this debug session:
(gdb) b p
Breakpoint 1 at 0x402d67: file foo.adb, line 7.
(gdb) print p(null)
Breakpoint 1, foo.p (a=0x641010) at foo.adb:10
... ^^^^^^^^^^
shows that something goes wrong between the initial null value and the
received parameter value in the 'f' function.
The value for the parameter 'a' we get is the address of the value we
would expect instead of the value itself. This can be checked by doing:
(gdb) p *a
$1 = 0
Before this fix, in ada_convert_value, this function was looking to the
actual value (the null value here) to determine if the formal (parameter
'a' in the procedure 'P' in this exemple) requires a pointer or not which
is a wrong assumption and leads to push the address of the value to the
inferior instead of the value itself.
This is fixed by this patch.

are passed to the inferior when the inferior expects a pointer type.

Consider the following code:
type Top_T is tagged record
N : Integer := 1;
U : Integer := 974;
A : Integer := 48;
end record;
type Middle_T is new Top.Top_T with record
N : Character := 'a';
C : Integer := 3;
end record;
type Bottom_T is new Middle.Middle_T with record
N : Float := 4.0;
C : Character := '5';
X : Integer := 6;
A : Character := 'J';
end record;
Tagged records in Ada provide object-oriented features, and what
is interesting in the code above is that a child tagged record
introduce additional components (fields) which sometimes have
the same name as one of the components in the parent. For instance,
Bottom_T introduces a component named "C", while at the same time
inheriting from Middle_T which also has a component named "C";
so, in essence, type Bottom_T has two components with the same name!
And before people start wondering why the language can possibly
be allowing that, this can only happen if the parent type has
a private definition. In our case, this was brought to our attention
when the parent was a generic paramenter.
With that in mind... Let's say we now have a variable declared
and initialized as follow:
TC : Top_A := new Bottom_T;
And then we use this variable to call this function
procedure Assign (Obj: in out Top_T; TV : Integer);
as follow:
Assign (Top_T (B), 12);
Now, we're in the debugger, and we're inside that procedure
(Top.Assign in our gdb testcase), and we want to print
the value of obj.c:
Usually, the tagged record or one of the parent type owns the
component to print and there's no issue but in this particular
case, what does it mean to ask for Obj.C ? Since the actual
type for object is type Bottom_T, it could mean two things: type
component C from the Middle_T view, but also component C from
Bottom_T. So in that "undefined" case, when the component is
not found in the non-resolved type (which includes all the
components of the parent type), then resolve it and see if we
get better luck once expanded.
In the case of homonyms in the derived tagged type, we don't
guaranty anything, and pick the one that's easiest for us
to program.
This patch fixes the behavior like described above.

Consider the following Ada Code:
type Str is new String (1 .. 4);
My_str : Str := "ABCD";
This simply declares a 4-character string type. Trying to perform
equality tests using it currently yield an error:
(gdb) p my_str = my_str
Attempt to compare array with non-array
(gdb) p my_str = "ABCD"
Attempt to compare array with non-array
The error occurs because my_str is defined as an object whose
type is a typdef to a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY, which ada_value_equal
is not expecting at all (yet). This patch fixes this oversight.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
There was a difference between C++ dispatch table and Ada's in the
way the Offset_To_Top field is used to determined the base address
of an object:
* in C++ it is a negative offset, so converting abstract interface to
deriving object requires adding this offset to “this”;
* in Ada, it was a positive offset, so the same conversion required
subtracting the offset value.
So in ada, the base address for a tagged type was computed using this formula:
base_address = value_address (obj) - offset_to_top;
The offset_to_top value was previously set to 0 or a positive value.
With recent version of AdaCore's GNAT compiler, the offset has been
changed to match C++, which means it's set to zero or a negative value
As a result, the new formula has to be:
base_address = value_address (obj) + offset_to_top;
Because we want to support old code compiled before GNAT compiler change
done in 19.0w (20171023-64) with this version and future versions of gdb,
then we change the sign of the offset_to_top if required. Required here
means if offset_to_top is positive since it indicates that the code has
been compiled with an old GNAT compiler.
This patch changes the formula as described above.
Also, one side-effect of offset_to_top now being negative is that
we now have to worry about the sign when we read its value from the
inferior. Up to now, we have been reading its value using the data
address builtin type. But since addresses are not always signed, we
now need to make sure we use the proper type (type Storage_Offset
from System.Storage_Elements). Ideally, we would be looking this type
up from the inferior, and then use that type. However, it is not
guaranteed that this type always be described in the debugging
information, so this patch just builds our own, adding it to Ada's
list of primitive types.

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.

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

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(
This patch adds the core code necessary to support this, though
nothing really makes use of it yet in this patch.

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",[...]

Consider a program which provides a symbol without debugging
information. For instance, compiling the following code without -g:
Some_Minimal_Symbol : Integer := 1234;
pragma Export (C, Some_Minimal_Symbol, "some_minsym");
Trying to print this variable with GDB now causes an error, which
is now expected:
(gdb) p some_minsym
'some_minsym' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
However, trying to cast this symbol, or to take its address
does not work:
(gdb) p integer(some_minsym)
'some_minsym' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p &some_minsym
'some_minsym' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
Another manisfestation of this issue can be seen when trying to
insert an Ada exception catchpoint for a specific standard exception
(this only occurs if the Ada runtime is built without debugging
information, which is the default). For instance:
$ (gdb) catch exception constraint_error
warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 0: 'constraint_error' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
This is because, internally, the cachtpoint uses a condition referencing
a minimal symbol, more precisely:
long_integer (e) = long_integer (&constraint_error)
This patch fixes all issues listed above:
1. resolve_subexp: Special-case the handling of OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE
expression elements, where there are no ambiguities to be resolved
in that situation;
2. ada_evaluate_subexp: Enhance the handling of the UNOP_CAST
handling so as to process the case where the target of
the cast is a minimal symbol (as well as a symbol with debugging
information). This mimics what's done in C.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Add handling of OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE.
(ada_evaluate_subexp_for_cast): New function.
(ada_evaluate_subexp) <UNOP_CAST>: Replace code by call to

catch_ex.exp: continuing to program completion

mi_catch_ex.exp: continue to unhandled exception catchpoint hit (unknown output after running)
mi_ex_cond.exp: catch C_E if i = 2 (unexpected output)
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c: Fix some typos in the general command documenting
how Ada expressions are being evaluated and how their result
is printed.
Currently "b foo[TAB]" offers data symbols as completion candidates.
This doesn't make sense, since you can't set a breakpoint on data
symbols, only on code symbols.
(gdb) b globa[TAB]
(gdb) b global [ENTER]
Function "global" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
(gdb) info symbol global
global in section .rodata
So this patch makes linespec completion ignore data symbols.

Summary:
- This is preparation for supporting wild name matching on C++ too.
- This is also preparation for TAB-completion fixes.
- Makes symbol name matching (think strcmp_iw) be based on a per-language method.
- Merges completion and non-completion name comparison (think
language_ops::la_get_symbol_name_cmp generalized).
- Avoid re-hashing lookup name multiple times
- Centralizes preparing a name for lookup (Ada name encoding / C++ Demangling),
both completion and non-completion.
- Fixes Ada latent bug with verbatim name matches in expressions
- Makes ada-lang.c use common|symtab.c completion code a bit more.
Ada's wild matching basically means that
"(gdb) break foo"
will find all methods named "foo" in all packages. Translating to
C++, it's roughly the same as saying that "break klass::method" sets
breakpoints on all "klass::method" methods of all classes, no matter
the namespace. A following patch will teach GDB about fullname vs
wild matching for C++ too. This patch is preparatory work to get
there.
Another idea here is to do symbol name matching based on the symbol
language's algorithm. I.e., avoid dependency on current language set.
This allows for example doing
(gdb) b foo::bar< int > (<tab>
and having gdb name match the C++ symbols correctly even if the
current language is C or Assembly (or Rust, or Ada, or ...), which can
easily happen if you step into an Assembly/C runtime library frame.
By encapsulating all the information related to a lookup name in a
class, we can also cache hash computation for a given language in the
lookup name object, to avoid recomputing it over and over.
Similarly, because we don't really know upfront which languages the
lookup name will be matched against, for each language we store the
lookup name transformed into a search name. E.g., for C++, that means
demangling the name. But for Ada, it means encoding the name. This
actually forces us to centralize all the different lookup name
encoding in a central place, resulting in clearer code, IMO. See
e.g., the new ada_lookup_name_info class.
The lookup name -> symbol search name computation is also done only
once per language.
The old language->la_get_symbol_name_cmp / symbol_name_cmp_ftype are
generalized to work with both completion, and normal symbol look up.
At some point early on, I had separate completion vs non-completion
language vector entry points, but a single method ends up being better
IMO for simplifying things -- the more we merge the completion /
non-completion name lookup code paths, the less changes for bugs
causing completion vs normal lookup finding different symbols.
The ada-lex.l change is necessary because when doing
(gdb) p <UpperCase>
then the name that is passed to write_ write_var_or_type ->
ada_lookup_symbol_list misses the "<>", i.e., it's just "UpperCase",
and we end up doing a wild match against "UpperCase" lowercased by
ada_lookup_name_info's constructor. I.e., "uppercase" wouldn't ever
match "UpperCase", and the symbol lookup fails.
This wouldn't cause any regression in the testsuite, but I added a new
test that would pass before the patch and fail after, if it weren't
for that fix.
This is latent bug that happens to go unnoticed because that
particular path was inconsistent with the rest of Ada symbol lookup by
not lowercasing the lookup name.
Ada's symbol_completion_add is deleted, replaced by using common
code's completion_list_add_name. To make the latter work for Ada, we
needed to add a new output parameter, because Ada wants to return back
a custom completion candidates that are not the symbol name.
With this patch, minimal symbol demangled name hashing is made
consistent with regular symbol hashing. I.e., it now goes via the
language vector's search_name_hash method too, as I had suggested in a
previous patch.
dw2_expand_symtabs_matching / .gdb_index symbol names were a
challenge. The problem is that we have no way to telling what is the
language of each symbol name found in the index, until we expand the
corresponding full symbol, which is off course what we're trying to
avoid. Language information is simply not considered in the index
format... Since the symbol name hashing and comparison routines are
per-language, we now have a problem. The patch sorts this out by
matching each name against all languages. This is inneficient, and
indeed slows down completion several times. E.g., with:
$ cat script.cmd
set pagination off
set $count = 0
while $count < 400
complete b string_prin
printf "count = %d\n", $count
set $count = $count + 1
end
$ time gdb --batch -q ./gdb-with-index -ex "source script-string_printf.cmd"
I get, before patch (-O2, x86-64):
real 0m1.773s
user 0m1.737s
sys 0m0.040s
While after patch (-O2, x86-64):
real 0m9.843s
user 0m9.482s
sys 0m0.034s
However, the following patch will optimize this, and will actually
make this use case faster compared to the "before patch" above:
real 0m1.321s
user 0m1.285s
sys 0m0.039s

Currently, we have a mess of symbol name hashing/comparison routines.
There's msymbol_hash for mangled names, and dict_hash and
msymbol_hash_iw for demangled names. Then there's strcmp_iw,
strcmp_iw_ordered and Ada's full_match/wild_match, which all have to
agree with the hashing routines. That's why dict_hash is really about
Ada names. From the inconsistency department, minimal symbol hashing
doesn't go via dict_hash, so Ada's wild matching can't ever work with
minimal symbols.
This patch starts fixing this, by doing two things:
#1 - adds a language vector method to let each language decide how to
compute a symbol name hash.
#2 - makes dictionaries know the language of the symbols they hold,
and then use the dictionaries language to decide which hashing
method to use.
For now, this is just scaffolding, since all languages install the
default method. The series will make C++ install its own hashing
method later on, and will add per-language symbol name comparison
routines too.
This patch was originally based on a patch that Keith wrote for the
libcc1/C++ WIP support.

One of the few still remaining uses of DOUBLEST in GDB is the Ada front-end
code that handles scaling of Ada fixed-point types. The target format for
those types is some integer format; to convert those values to standard
floating-point representation, that integer needs to be multiplied by a
rational scale factor, given as a pair of numerator and denominator.
To avoid having to deal with long integer arithmetic, the current Ada
front-end code currently performs those scaling operations in host
DOUBLEST arithmetic. To eliminate this use of DOUBLEST, this patch
changes the front-end to instead perform those operations in the
*target* floating-point format (chosing to use the target "long double").
The implementation is mostly straight-forward, using value_cast and
value_binop to perform the target operations.
Scanning in the scale numerator and denominator is now done into
a host "long long" instead of a DOUBLEST, which should be large
enough to hold all possible values. (Otherwise, this can be replaced
by target-format target_float_from_string operations as well.)
Printing fixed-point types and values should be completely unchanges,
using target_float_to_string with the same format strings as current code.

When parsing floating-point literals, the language parsers currently
use parse_float or some equivalent routine to parse the input string
into a DOUBLEST, which is then stored within a OP_DOUBLE expression
node. When evaluating the expression, the OP_DOUBLE is finally
converted into a value in target format.
On the other hand, *decimal* floating-point literals are parsed
directly into target format and stored that way in a OP_DECFLOAT
expression node. In order to eliminate the DOUBLEST, this patch
therefore unifies the handling of binary and decimal floating-
point literals and stores them both in target format within a
new OP_FLOAT expression node, replacing both OP_DOUBLE and
OP_DECFLOAT.
In order to store literals in target format, the parse_float
routine needs to know the type of the literal. All parsers
therefore need to be changed to determine the appropriate type
(e.g. by detecting suffixes) *before* calling parse_float,
instead of after it as today. However, this change is mostly
straightforward -- again, this is already done for decimal FP
today.
The core of the literal parsing is moved into a new routine
floatformat_from_string, mirroring floatformat_to_string.
The parse_float routine now calls either floatformat_from_string
or decimal_from_sting, allowing it to handle any type of FP
literal.
All language parsers need to be updated. Some notes on
specific changes to the various languages:
- C: Decimal FP is now handled in parse_float, and no longer
needs to be handled specially.
- D: Straightforward.
- Fortran: Still used a hard-coded "atof", also replaced by
parse_float now. Continues to always use builtin_real_s8
as the type of literal, even though this is probably wrong.
- Go: This used to handle "f" and "l" suffixes, even though
the Go language actually doesn't support those. I kept this
support for now -- maybe revisit later. Note the the GDB
test suite for some reason actually *verifies* that GDB supports
those unsupported suffixes ...
- Pascal: Likewise -- this handles suffixes that are not
supported in the language standard.
- Modula-2: Like Fortran, used to use "atof".
- Rust: Mostly straightforward, except for a unit-testing hitch.
The code use to set a special "unit_testing" flag which would
cause "rust_type" to always return NULL. This makes it not
possible to encode a literal into target format (which type?).
The reason for this flag appears to have been that during
unit testing, there is no "rust_parser" context set up, which
means no "gdbarch" is available to use its types. To fix this,
I removed the unit_testing flag, and instead simply just set up
a dummy rust_parser context during unit testing.
- Ada: This used to check sizeof (DOUBLEST) to determine which
type to use for floating-point literal. This seems questionable
to begin with (since DOUBLEST is quite unrelated to target formats),
and in any case we need to get rid of DOUBLEST. I'm now simply
always using the largest type (builtin_long_double).

This changes the interfaces to init_type and arch_type to take the
type length in bits as input (instead of as bytes). The routines
assert that the length is a multiple of TARGET_CHAR_BIT.
For consistency, arch_flags_type is changed likewise, so that now
all type creation interfaces always use length in bits.
All callers are updated in the straightforward manner.
The assert actually found a bug in read_range_type, where the
init_integer_type routine was called with a wrong argument (probably
a bug introduced with the conversion to use init_integer_type).

This renames a few functions -- skip_spaces_const,
skip_to_space_const, get_number_const, extract_arg_const -- to drop
the "_const" suffix and instead rely on overloading.
This makes future const fixes simpler by reducing the number of lines
that must be changed. I think it is also not any less clear, as all
these functions have the same interface as their non-const versions by
design. Furthermore there's an example of using an overload in-tree
already, namely check_for_argument.
This patch was largely created using some perl one-liners; then a few
fixes were applied by hand.

The previous patch left GDB with an inconsistency. While with normal
expression evaluation the "unknown return type" error shows the name
of the function that misses debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
This commit is a step toward fixing it.
The problem is that while evaluating the expression above, we have no
reference to the minimal symbol where we could extract the name from.
This is because the resulting expression tree has no reference to the
minsym at all. During parsing, the type and address of the minsym are
extracted and an UNOP_MEMVAL / UNOP_MEMVAL_TLS operator is generated
(see write_exp_elt_msym). With "set debug expression", here's what
you see:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 UNOP_MEMVAL Type @0x565334a51930 (<text variable, no debug info>)
6 OP_LONG Type @0x565334a51c60 (__CORE_ADDR), value 140737345035648 (0x7ffff7751d80)
The "print" case finds the function name, because
call_function_by_hand looks up the function by address again.
However, for "ptype", we don't reach that code, because obviously we
don't really call the function.
Unlike minsym references, references to variables with debug info have
a pointer to the variable's symbol in the expression tree, with
OP_VAR_VALUE:
(gdb) ptype main()
...
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x0, symbol @0x559bbbd9b358 (main(int, char**))
...
so I don't see why do minsyms need to be different. So to prepare for
fixing the missing function name issue, this commit adds a new
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE operator that mimics OP_VAR_VALUE, except that it's
for minsyms instead of debug symbols. For infcalls, we now get
expressions like these:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE Objfile @0x1e41bf0, msymbol @0x7fffe599b000 (getenv)
In the following patch, we'll make OP_FUNCALL extract the function
name from the symbol stored in OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE.
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE will be used more in a later patch in the series
too.

The fact that GDB defaults to assuming that functions return int, when
it has no debug info for the function has been a recurring source of
user confusion. Recently this came up on the errno pretty printer
discussions. Shortly after, it came up again on IRC, with someone
wondering why does getenv() in GDB return a negative int:
(gdb) p getenv("PATH")
$1 = -6185
This question (with s/getenv/random-other-C-runtime-function) is a FAQ
on IRC.
The reason for the above is:
(gdb) p getenv
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x7ffff7751d80 <getenv>
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = int ()
... which means that GDB truncated the 64-bit pointer that is actually
returned from getent to 32-bit, and then sign-extended it:
(gdb) p /x -6185
$6 = 0xffffe7d7
The workaround is to cast the function to the right type, like:
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH")
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
IMO, we should do better than this.
I see the "assume-int" issue the same way I see printing bogus values
for optimized-out variables instead of "<optimized out>" -- I'd much
rather that the debugger tells me "I don't know" and tells me how to
fix it than showing me bogus misleading results, making me go around
tilting at windmills.
If GDB prints a signed integer when you're expecting a pointer or
aggregate, you at least have some sense that something is off, but
consider the case of the function actually returning a 64-bit integer.
For example, compile this without debug info:
unsigned long long
function ()
{
return 0x7fffffffffffffff;
}
Currently, with pristine GDB, you get:
(gdb) p function ()
$1 = -1 # incorrect
(gdb) p /x function ()
$2 = 0xffffffff # incorrect
maybe after spending a few hours debugging you suspect something is
wrong with that -1, and do:
(gdb) ptype function
type = int ()
and maybe, just maybe, you realize that the function actually returns
unsigned long long. And you try to fix it with:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
... which still produces the wrong result, because GDB simply applied
int to unsigned long long conversion. Meaning, it sign-extended the
integer that it extracted from the return of the function, to 64-bits.
and then maybe, after asking around on IRC, you realize you have to
cast the function to a pointer of the right type, and call that. It
won't be easy, but after a few missteps, you'll get to it:
..... (gdb) p /x ((unsigned long long(*) ()) function) ()
$666 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # finally! :-)
So to improve on the user experience, this patch does the following
(interrelated) things:
- makes no-debug-info functions no longer default to "int" as return
type. Instead, they're left with NULL/"<unknown return type>"
return type.
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = <unknown return type> ()
- makes calling a function with unknown return type an error.
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
- and then to make it easier to call the function, makes it possible
to _only_ cast the return of the function to the right type,
instead of having to cast the function to a function pointer:
(gdb) p (char *) getenv ("PATH") # now Just Works
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH") # continues working
$4 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
I.e., it makes GDB default the function's return type to the type
of the cast, and the function's parameters to the type of the
arguments passed down.
After this patch, here's what you'll get for the "unsigned long long"
example above:
(gdb) p function ()
'function' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # correct!
Note that while with "print" GDB shows the name of the function that
has the problem:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This will be fixed in the next patch.

Instead, make symtab_and_line initialize its members itself. Many
symtab_and_line declarations are moved to where the object is
initialized at the same time both for clarity and to avoid double
initialization. A few functions, like e.g., find_frame_sal are
adjusted to return the sal using normal function return instead of an
output parameter likewise to avoid having to default-construct a sal
and then immediately have the object overwritten.

Profiling GDB with the rest of series applied, I saw calls to
language_def showing up high in some runs. The problem is that
language_def is O(N) currently, since walk the languages vector each
time to find the matching language_defn.
IMO, the add_language mechanism is pointless, because "enum language"
implies the core of GDB needs to know about all languages anyway. So
simply make the languages vector array be an array where each
element's index is the corresponding enum language enumerator. Note
that "local_language_defn" is gone along the way. It's just a copy of
"auto", so the new code simply maps one to the other. One fewer place
to update when we need to change the language vector...
Also, a while ago the output of "set language" was made out of order
as side effect of some other change. While I was at it, I made them
sorted again.

One of the most annoying (to me) things about GDB's completion is when
you have overloads in your program, and you want to set a breakpoint
in one of them:
void function(int); // set breakpoint here.
void function(long);
(gdb) b -f func[TAB]
(gdb) b -f function( # ok, gdb completed as much as possible.
(gdb) b -f function([TAB] # show me the overloads, please.
<_all_ symbols in the program are shown...>
E.g., when debugging GDB, that'd be:
(gdb) b -f function([TAB]
(anonymous namespace)::get_global()::global pt_insn_get_offset@plt scm_new_port_table_entry
asprintf pt_pkt_alloc_decoder scm_new_port_table_entry@plt
asprintf@plt pt_pkt_alloc_decoder@plt scm_out_of_range
bt_ctf_get_char_array pt_pkt_sync_forward scm_out_of_range@plt
bt_ctf_get_char_array@plt pt_pkt_sync_forward@plt scm_putc
bt_ctf_get_uint64 pwrite scm_putc@plt
bt_ctf_get_uint64@plt pwrite@plt scm_reverse_x
bt_ctf_iter_read_event PyErr_Restore scm_reverse_x@plt
bt_ctf_iter_read_event@plt PyErr_Restore@plt scm_set_port_filename_x
<snip...>
Now that's a load of completely useless completions.
The reason GDB offers those is that the completer relies on readline
figuring out the completion word point in the input line based on the
language's word break characters, which include "(". So readline
tells the completer to complete on "", the string that is after '('.
Likewise, if you type "function(i[TAB]" to try to complete to "int",
you're out of luck. GDB shows you all the symbols in the program that
start with "i"... This makes sense for the expression completer, as
what you'd want to type is e.g., a global variable, say:
(gdb) print function(i[TAB]
but, it makes no sense when specifying a function name for a
breakpoint location.
To get around that limitation, users need to quote the function name,
like:
(gdb) b -f 'function([TAB]
function(int) function(long)
(gdb) b 'function(i[TAB]
(gdb) b 'function(int)' # now completes correctly!
Note that the quoting is only necessary for completion. Creating the
breakpoint does not require the quoting:
(gdb) b -f function(int) [RET]
Breakpoint 1 at ....
This patch removes this limitation.
(
Actually, it's a necessary patch, though not sufficient. That'll
start working correctly by the end of the series. With this patch, if try it,
you'll see:
(gdb) b -f function(i[TAB]
(gdb) b -f function
i.e., gdb strips everything after the "(". That's caused by some code
in symtab.c that'll be eliminated further down the series. These
patches are all unfortunately interrelated, which is also the reason
new tests only appear much later in the series.
But let's ignore that reality for the remainder of the description.
)
So... this patch gets rid of the need for quoting.
It does that by adding a way for a completer to control the exact
completion word point that readline should start the completion
request for, instead of letting readline try to figure it out using
the current language's word break chars array, and often failing.
In the case above, we want the completer to figure out that it's
completing a function name that starts with "function(i". It now
does.
It took me a while to figure out a way to ask readline to "use this
exact word point", and for a while I feared that it'd be impossible
with current readline (and having to rely on master readline for core
functionality is something I'd like to avoid very much). Eventually,
after several different attempts, I came up with what is described in
the comment above gdb_custom_word_point_brkchars in the patch.
With this patch, the handle_brkchars phase of the explicit location
completer advances the expected word point as it parses the input line
left to right, until it figures out exactly what we're completing,
instead of expecting readline to break the string using the word break
characters, and then having the completer heuristically fix up a bad
decision by parsing the input string backwards. This allows correctly
knowning that we're completing a symbol name after -function, complete
functions without quoting, etc.
Later, we'll make use of this same mechanims to implement a proper
linespec completer that avoids need for quoting too.

* gdb.linespec/ls-errs.exp (do_test): Adjust expected output.
This patch reworks the whole completion machinery, and prepares it
for later enhancements.
Adds a new "completion_tracker" class that is meant to hold everything
about the state of the current completion operation.
This class now has the responsibility of tracking the list of
completion matches, and checking whether the max completions limit has
been reached. You can look at this as this patch starting out by
C++fying the existing "completion_tracker" in symtab.c (it's just an
htab_t typedef currently), moving it to completer.h/c, and then making
it a class/generalizing/enhancing it.
Unlike with the current tracking, completion_tracker now checks
whether the limit has been reached on each completion match list
insertion. This both simplifies the max-completions handling code
(maybe_add_completion_enum is gone, for example), and is a
prerequisite for follow up patches.
The current completion_tracker is only used for symbol completions,
and the symbol code gets at the current instance via globals. This
patch cleans that up by adding a completion_tracker reference to the
signature of the completion functions, and passing the tracker around
everywhere necessary.
Then, the patch changes how the completion match list is handed over
to readline. Currently, we're using the rl_completion_entry_function
readline entry point, and the patch switches to
rl_attempted_completion_function. A following patch will want to let
GDB itself decide the common completion prefix between all matches
(what readline calls the "lowest common denominator"), instead of
having readline compute it, and that's not possible with the
rl_completion_entry_function entry point. Also,
rl_attempted_completion_function lets GDB hand over the match list to
readline as an array in one go instead of passing down matches one by
one, so from that angle it's a nicer entry point anyway.
Lastly, the patch catches exceptions around the readline entry points,
because we can't let C++ exceptions cross readline. We handle that in
the readline input entry point, but the completion entry point isn't
guarded, so GDB can abort if completion throws. E.g., in current
master:
(gdb) b -function "fun<tab>
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted (core dumped)
This patch fixes that. This will be exercised in the new tests added
later on in the series.

In some cases we've been replacing heap-allocated gdb_byte buffers
managed with xmalloc/make_cleanup(xfree) with gdb::vector<gdb_byte>.
That usually pessimizes the code a little bit because std::vector
value-initializes elements (which for gdb_byte means
zero-initialization), while if you're creating a temporary buffer,
you're most certaintly going to fill it in with some data. An
alternative is to use
unique_ptr<gdb_byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[size]);
but it looks like that's not very popular.
Recently, a use of obstacks in dwarf2read.c was replaced with
std::vector<gdb_byte> and that as well introduced a pessimization for
always memsetting the buffer when it's garanteed that the zeros will
be overwritten immediately. (see dwarf2read.c change in this patch to
find it.)
So here's a different take at addressing this issue "by design":
#1 - Introduce default_init_allocator<T>
I.e., a custom allocator that does default construction using default
initialization, meaning, no more zero initialization. That's the
default_init_allocation<T> class added in this patch.
See "Notes" at
<http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector/resize>.
#2 - Introduce def_vector<T>
I.e., a convenience typedef, because typing the allocator is annoying:
using def_vector<T> = std::vector<T, gdb::default_init_allocator<T>>;
#3 - Introduce byte_vector
Because gdb_byte vectors will be the common thing, add a convenience
"byte_vector" typedef:
using byte_vector = def_vector<gdb_byte>;
which is really the same as:
std::vector<gdb_byte, gdb::default_init_allocator<gdb_byte>>;
The intent then is to make "gdb::byte_vector" be the go-to for dynamic
byte buffers. So the less friction, the better.
#4 - Adjust current code to use it.
To set the example going forward. Replace std::vector uses and also
unique_ptr<byte[]> uses.
One nice thing is that with this allocator, for changes like these:
-std::unique_ptr<byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[some_size]);
+gdb::byte_vector buf (some_size);
fill_with_data (buf.data (), buf.size ());
the generated code is the same as before. I.e., the compiler
de-structures the vector and gets rid of the unused "reserved vs size"
related fields.
The other nice thing is that it's easier to write
gdb::byte_vector buf (size);
than
std::unique_ptr<gdb_byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[size]);
or even (C++14):
auto buf = std::make_unique<gdb_byte[]> (size); // zero-initializes...
#5 - Suggest s/std::vector<gdb_byte>/gdb::byte_vector/ going forward.
Note that this commit actually fixes a couple of bugs where the current
code is incorrectly using "std::vector::reserve(new_size)" and then
accessing the vector's internal buffer beyond the vector's size: see
dwarf2loc.c and charset.c. That's undefined behavior and may trigger
debug mode assertion failures. With default_init_allocator,
"resize()" behaves like "reserve()" performance wise, in that it
leaves new elements with unspecified values, but, it does that safely
without triggering undefined behavior when you access those values.

Breakpoints are currently in a limbo state between C and C++. There is
a pseudo class hierarchy implemented using struct fields. Taking
watchpoint as an example:
struct watchpoint
{
/* The base class. */
struct breakpoint base;
...
}
and it is instantianted with "new watchpoint ()". When destroyed, a
destructor is first invoked through the breakpoint_ops, and then the
memory is freed by calling delete through a pointer to breakpoint.
Address sanitizer complains about this, for example, because we new and
delete the same memory using different types.
This patch takes the logical step of making breakpoint subclasses extend
the breakpoint class for real, and converts their destructors to actual
C++ destructors.
Regtested on the buildbot.

PR rust/21484 notes that watch -location does not work with Rust:
(gdb) watch -location a
syntax error in expression, near `) 0x00007fffffffe0f4'.
update_watchpoint tries to tell gdb that the new expression it creates
has C syntax:
/* The above expression is in C. */
b->language = language_c;
However, update_watchpoint doesn't actually use this language when
re-parsing the expression.
Originally I was going to fix this by saving and restoring the
language in update_watchpoint, but this regressed
gdb.dlang/watch-loc.exp, because the constructed expression actually
has D syntax (specifically the name is not parseable by C).
Next I looked at directly constructing an expression, and not relying
on the parser at all; but it seemed to me that upon a re-set, we'd
want to reparse the type, and there is no existing API to do this
correctly.
So, in the end I made a hook to let each language choose what
expression to use. I made all the languages other than Rust use the C
expression, because that is the status quo ante. However, this is
probably not truly correct. After this patch, at least, it is easy to
correct by someone who knows the language(s) in question.

-Wwrite-strings flags several cases of missing casts around
initializations like:
static char *gdb_completer_command_word_break_characters =
" \t\n!@#$%^&*()+=|~`}{[]\"';:?/>.<,";
Obviously these could/should be const. However, while at it, there's
no need for these variables to be pointers instead of arrays. They
are never changed to point to anything else.
Unfortunately, readline's rl_completer_word_break_characters is
"char *", not "const char *". So we always need a cast somewhere. The
approach taken here is to add a new
set_rl_completer_word_break_characters function that becomes the only
place that writes to rl_completer_word_break_characters, and thus the
single place that needs the cast.

I wanted to pass a lambda to iterate_over_symtabs (see following

cascaded from that.
This gets rid of a bunch of single-use callback functions and
corresponding manually managed callback capture types
(add_partial_datum, search_symbols_data, etc.) in favor of letting the
compiler generate them for us by using lambdas with a capture. In a
couple cases, it was more natural to convert the existing function
callbacks to function objects (i.e., operator(), e.g.,
decode_compound_collector).

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.
