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.

It changes the unrecognized argument message to more clearly state

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

* symfile.c (find_separate_debug_file_by_debuglink): Use
unique_xmalloc_ptr.
This patch removes VEC(filename_language), replacing its usage with
std::vector. filename_language::ext is changed to an std::string at the
same time.
Regtested on the buildbot.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* symfile.c (filename_language): Make struct, not typedef. Add
constructor.
<ext>: Change type to std::string.
(DEF_VEC_O (filename_language)): Remove.
(filename_language_table): Change type to std::vector.
(add_filename_language): Adjust.
(set_ext_lang_command): Adjust.

(class scoped_restore_filename_language_table): Remove.
(test_filename_language): Use scoped_restore.
(test_set_ext_lang_command): Use scoped_restore, adjust to
std::vector change.
The next patch touches the filename_language area, but I noticed there
is no test exercising that. This patch adds some selftests for
add_filename_language, deduce_language_from_filename and
set_ext_lang_command. Because these tests add entries to the global
filename_language_table vector, it is not possible to run them
successfully multiple times in a same GDB instance. They can
potentially interfere with each other for the same reason. I therefore
added the scoped_restore_filename_language_table class that is used to
make sure tests leave that global vector in the same state they found it
(it is replaced in the following patch by a simple scoped_restore).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* symfile.c: Include selftest.h.
(class scoped_restore_filename_language_table): New.
(test_filename_language): New test.
(test_set_ext_lang_command): New test.
(_initialize_symfile): Register tests.
psymbol_allocation_list is basically a vector implementation. We can
replace it with an std::vector, now that objfile has been C++-ified.
I sent this to the buildbot, there are a few suspicious failures, but

This changes objfiles to use new and delete rather than xmalloc and

allocated with XCNEW; and I wanted to be able to use another non-POD as
a member; this patch is the result.

I happened to notice that add_symbol_file_command leaks "sect_opts".
This patch fixes the leak by changing sect_opts to be a std::vector.
I had to change the logic in the loop a little bit. Previously, it
was incrementing section_index after completing an entry; but this
changes it to push a new entry when the name is seen.
I believe the argument parsing here is mildly incorrect, in that
nothing checks whether the -s option actually had any arguments.
Maybe gdb can crash if "-s NAME" is given without an argument. I
didn't try to fix this in this patch, but I do have another patch I
can send later that fixes it up.
Regression tested on the buildbot.

This introduces gdb_argv, a class wrapping an "argv" pointer; that is,
a pointer to a NULL-terminated array of char*, where both the array
and each non-NULL element in the array are xmalloc'd.

instead.

Fix issue exposed by commit 3e29f34.
The basic issue is that section data referenced through an objfile
pointer can also be referenced via the program-space data pointer,
although via a separate mapping mechanism, which is set up by
update_section_map. Thus once section data attached to an objfile
pointer is released, the section map associated with the program-space
data pointer must be marked dirty to ensure that update_section_map is
called to prevent stale data being referenced. For the matter at hand
this marking is being done via a call to objfiles_changed.
Before commit 3e29f34 objfiles_changed could be called after all of
the objfile pointers were processed in reread_symbols since section
data references via the program-space data pointer would not occur in
the calls of read_symbols performed by reread_symbols.
With commit 3e29f34 MIPS target specific calls to find_pc_section were
added to the code for DWARF information processing, which is called
via read_symbols. Thus in reread_symbols the call to objfiles_changed
needs to be called before calling read_symbols, otherwise stale
section data can be referenced.
Thanks to Luis Machado for providing text for the main comment
associated with the change.

A following patch will want to add a std::vector to
objfile_per_bfd_storage. That makes it non-trivially
constructible/destructible. Since objfile_per_bfd_storage objects are
allocated on an obstack, we need to call their ctors/dtors manually.
This is what this patch does. And then since we can now rely on
ctors/dtors being run, make objfile_per_bfd_storage::storage_obstack
be an auto_obstack.

I helped someone figure out why their separate debug info (debug
link-based) was not found by gdb. It turns out that the debug file was
not named properly. It made me realize that it is quite difficult to
diagnose this kind of problems. This patch adds some debug output to
show where GDB looks for those files, so that it should be (more)
obvious to find what's wrong.
Here's an example of the result, first with an example of unsuccessful lookup,
and then a successful one.

I wanted to pass a lambda to iterate_over_symtabs (see following
patch), so I converted it to function_view, and then the rest is
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).

This introduces a new specialization of gdb::ref_ptr that can be used
to manage BFD reference counts. Then it changes most places in gdb to
use this new class, rather than explicit reference-counting or
cleanups. This patch removes make_cleanup_bfd_unref.
If you look you will see a couple of spots using "release" where a use
of gdb_bfd_ref_ptr would be cleaner. These will be fixed in the next
patch.
I think this patch fixes some latent bugs. For example, it seems to
me that previously objfpy_add_separate_debug_file leaked a BFD.
I'm not 100% certain that the macho_symfile_read_all_oso change is
correct. The existing code here is hard for me to follow. One goal
of this sort of automated reference counting, though, is to make it
more difficult to make logic errors; so hopefully the code is clear
now.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch fixes a few problems with GDB's time handling.
#1 - It avoids problems with gnulib's C++ namespace support
On MinGW, the struct timeval that should be passed to gnulib's
gettimeofday replacement is incompatible with libiberty's
timeval_sub/timeval_add. That's because gnulib also replaces "struct
timeval" with its own definition, while libiberty expects the
system's.
E.g., in code like this:
gettimeofday (&prompt_ended, NULL);
timeval_sub (&prompt_delta, &prompt_ended, &prompt_started);
timeval_add (&prompt_for_continue_wait_time,
&prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_delta);
That's currently handled in gdb by not using gnulib's gettimeofday at
all (see common/gdb_sys_time.h), but that #undef hack won't work with
if/when we enable gnulib's C++ namespace support, because that mode
adds compile time warnings for uses of ::gettimeofday, which are hard
errors with -Werror.
#2 - But there's an elephant in the room: gettimeofday is not monotonic...
We're using it to:
a) check how long functions take, for performance analysis
b) compute when in the future to fire events in the event-loop
c) print debug timestamps
But that's exactly what gettimeofday is NOT meant for. Straight from
the man page:
~~~
The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by
discontinuous jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system
administrator manually changes the system time). If you need a
monotonically increasing clock, see clock_gettime(2).
~~~
std::chrono (part of the C++11 standard library) has a monotonic clock
exactly for such purposes (std::chrono::steady_clock). This commit
switches to use that instead of gettimeofday, fixing all the issues
mentioned above.

The following testcases make GDB crash whenever an invalid sysroot is
provided, when GDB is unable to find a valid path to the symbol file:
gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp
gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp
gdb.base/foll-exec.exp
gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp
gdb.base/pie-execl.exp
gdb.multi/bkpt-multi-exec.exp
gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp
gdb.threads/execl.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-1.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp
gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp
The immediate cause of the segv is that follow_exec is passing a NULL
argument (the result of exec_file_find) to strlen.
However, the problem is deeper than that: follow_exec simply isn't
prepared for the case where sysroot translation fails to locate the
new executable. Actually all callers of exec_file_find have bugs due
to confusion between host and target pathnames. This commit attempts
to fix all that.
In terms of the testcases that were formerly segv'ing, GDB now prints
a warning but continues execution of the new program, so that the
tests now mostly FAIL instead. You could argue the FAILs are due to a
legitimate problem with the test environment setting up the sysroot
translation incorrectly.
A new representative test is added which exercises the ne wwarning
code path even with native testing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

This makes these flag types be "enum flag" types. The benefit is
making use of C++'s stronger typing -- mixing the flags types by
mistake errors at compile time.
This caught one old bug in symbol_file_add_main_1 already, fixed by
this patch as well:
@@ -1318,7 +1326,7 @@ symbol_file_add_main_1 (const char *args, int from_tty, int flags)

reinit_frame_cache ();
- if ((flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)
+ if ((add_flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)
set_initial_language ();
}
Above, "flags" are objfile flags, not symfile_add_flags. So that was
actually checking for "flag & OBJF_PSYMTABS_READ", which has the same
value as SYMFILE_NO_READ...
I moved the flags definitions to separate files to break circular
dependencies.
Built with --enable-targets=all and tested on x86-64 Fedora 23.

That is:
- Remote M32R debugging over SDI.
- Debugging boards using the MIPS remote debugging protocol
over a serial line, PMON, and a few variants.
These are the last non-"target remote" remote targets in the tree, if
you don't count "target sim".
