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)>
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_type_1): Rethrow errors with
a more detailed exception message when getting an exception
while trying to read the value of an XVZ variable.

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.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (assign_component): Strip any TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF
layer from lhs' type.
(assign_aggregate): Likewise.

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.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_convert_actual): Change the way actual value
are passed to the inferior when the inferior expects a pointer type.

This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.
The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality. Here's an example:
/* offset | size */ type = struct wer : public tuv {
public:
/* 32 | 24 */ struct tyu {
/* 32:31 | 4 */ int a1 : 1;
/* 32:28 | 4 */ int a2 : 3;
/* 32: 5 | 4 */ int a3 : 23;
/* 35: 3 | 1 */ char a4 : 2;
/* XXX 3-bit hole */
/* XXX 4-byte hole */
/* 40 | 8 */ int64_t a5;
/* 48:27 | 4 */ int a6 : 5;
/* 48:56 | 8 */ int64_t a7 : 3;
/* total size (bytes): 24 */
} a1;
/* total size (bytes): 56 */
}
A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy. The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft. My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).
After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes. Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt. This should be implemented in a future
patch.
This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB. In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>
This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot. There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation. I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.

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.

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"

type is a typdef to a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY, which ada_value_equal
is not expecting at all (yet). This patch fixes this oversight.

This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python. It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec. The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).
Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec. Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.
I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test. To be able to test multiple
locations using a namespace, I had to switch the test case to compile as
C++. If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.

While writing the tests included in the previous commit, I noticed
that test_gdb_complete_tab_multiple would not FAIL if GDB happens to
show more completions than expected before the expected list.
E.g., with something like this, expecting "p foo" to complete to
"foo2" and "foo3":
test_gdb_complete_tab_multiple "p foo" "" {
"foo2"
"foo3"
}
and then if foo actually completes to:
(gdb) p foo[TAB]
foo1 foo2 foo3
^^^^
we'd still PASS. (Note the spurious "foo1" above.)
This tightens the regexp with a beginning anchor thus making the
completions above cause a FAIL. Other similar functions in
completion-support.exp already do something like this; I had just
missed this one originally. Thankfully, this did not expose any
problems in the gdb.linespec/ tests. Phew.

I noticed this regression in the expression completer:

The problem is that in the earlier big completer rework, I missed
taking into account the fact that with expressions, the completion
word point is not always at the start of the symbol name (it is with
linespecs).
The fix is to run the common prefix / LCD string (what readline uses
to expand the input line) through make_completion_match_str too.

command.

The "server" command prefix no longer turns confirmation queries off.
We can reproduce this with any program by tring to delete all breakpoints,
for instance:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40049b: file /[...]/break-fun-addr1.c, line 21.
(gdb) server delete breakpoints
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n)
GDB should not be asking "Delete all breakpoints? (y or n)", but
instead just delete all breakpoints without asking for confirmation.
Looking at utils.c::defaulted_query gives a glimpse of how this feature
is expected to work:
/* Automatically answer the default value if the user did not want
prompts or the command was issued with the server prefix. */
if (!confirm || server_command)
return def_value;
So, it relies on the server_command global to be set when the "server "
command prefix is used, which is no longer the case since the following
commit:
commit b69d38afde
Date: Wed Mar 9 18:25:00 2016 +0000
Subject: Command line input handling TLC
The patch was simplifying the handling for the command line, and

Unexpected error setting hardware debug registers
This patch is about setting watchpoint on a tagged address. Unlike
breakpoint, watchpoint record the expression rather than the address, and
when a watchpoint is fired, GDB checks the expression value changed
instead of matching address, so we can mask the watchpoint address by
getting rid of non-significant bits of address.

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.

bits in address, but test still expects them.

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
mentioned commit.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-12-08 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* gdb.arch/i386-sse-stack-align.exp: Cast "print" function call
"int".
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.
After some discussion, we agreed to simply remove the error case from
commands_command_1.

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.

#5 0xf7efb190 in get_ipa_tdesc(int) ()
#6 0xf7ef9baa in gdb_collect ()
The fix is to initialize all target descriptions earlier, when the
IPA is loaded. In order to guarantee malloc is not called in IPA
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.

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.

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.

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.

* gdb.base/relocate.exp: Add tests to guarantee that arguments
to 'symbol-file' and 'add-symbol-file' can be
position-independent.
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.

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.

* gdb.ada/repeat_dyn: New testcase.

local-board.exp was introduced recently, containing the code required to

The problem is simply that the testcase incorrectly assumes that

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() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(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.

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
TCL thinking that exception_name is an array.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with:
DejaGnu version 1.6
Expect version 5.45
Tcl version 8.6
The SPU-specific test cases were not modified to use standard_output_file
and therefore all were no longer being executed. Fixing this exposed a
few other bugs in spu-info noticed by using a more recent compiler, which
are also fixed here.
