... when trying to execute an undefined GDB/MI command. When trying
to execute a GDB/MI command which does not exist, the current error
result record looks like this:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported"
The only indication that the command does not exist is the error
message. It would be a little fragile for a consumer to rely solely
on the contents of the error message in order to determine whether
a command exists or not.
This patch improves the situation by adding concept of error
code, starting with one well-defined error code ("undefined-command")
identifying errors due to a non-existant command. Here is the new
output:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported",code="undefined-command"
This error code is only displayed when the corresponding error
condition is met. Otherwise, the error record remains unchanged.
For instance:
-symbol-list-lines foo.adb
^error,msg="-symbol-list-lines: Unknown source file name."
For frontends to be able to know whether they can rely on this
variable, a new entry "undefined-command-error-code" has been
added to the "-list-features" command. Another option would be
to always generate an error="..." variable (for the default case,
we could decide for instance that the error code is the empty string).
But it seems more efficient to provide that info in "-list-features"
and then only add the error code when meaningful.
gdb/ChangeLog:
(from Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>)
(from Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>)
* exceptions.h (enum_errors) <UNDEFINED_COMMAND_ERROR>: New enum.
* mi/mi-parse.c (mi_parse): Throw UNDEFINED_COMMAND_ERROR instead
of a regular error when the GDB/MI command does not exist.
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add
"undefined-command-error-code".
(mi_print_exception): Print an "undefined-command"
error code if EXCEPTION.ERROR is UNDEFINED_COMMAND_ERROR.
* NEWS: Add entry documenting the new "code" variable in
"^error" result records.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Result Records): Fix the syntax of the
"^error" result record concerning the error message. Document
the error code that may also be part of that result record.
(GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document the
"undefined-command-error-code" element in the output of
the "-list-features" GDB/MI command.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-undefined-cmd.exp: New testcase.
This patch adds a new GDB/MI command meant for graphical frontends
trying to determine whether a given GDB/MI command exists or not.
Examples:
-info-gdb-mi-command unsupported-command
^done,command={exists="false"}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true"}
(gdb)
At the moment, this is the only piece of information that this
command returns.
Eventually, and if needed, we can extend it to provide
command-specific pieces of information, such as updates to
the command's syntax since inception. This could become,
for instance:
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true",features=[]}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command catch-assert
^done,command={exists="true",features=["conditions"]}
In the first case, it would mean that no extra features,
while in the second, it announces that the -catch-assert
command in this version of the debugger supports a feature
called "condition" - exact semantics to be documented with
combined with the rest of the queried command's documentation.
But for now, we start small, and only worry about existance.
And to bootstrap the process, I have added an entry in the
output of the -list-features command as well ("info-gdb-mi-command"),
allowing the graphical frontends to go through the following process:
1. Send -list-features, collect info from there as before;
2. Check if the output contains "info-gdb-mi-command".
If it does, then support for various commands can be
queried though -info-gdb-mi-command. Newer commands
will be expected to always be checked via this new
-info-gdb-mi-command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_info_gdb_mi_command): Declare.
* mi/mi-cmd-info.c (mi_cmd_info_gdb_mi_command): New function.
* mi/mi-cmds.c (mi_cmds): Add -info-gdb-mi-command command.
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add "info-gdb-mi-command"
field to output of "-list-features".
* NEWS: Add entry for new -info-gdb-mi-command.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document
the new -info-gdb-mi-command GDB/MI command. Document
the meaning of "-info-gdb-mi-command" in the output of
-list-features.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-i-cmd.exp: New file.
This removes gdb_string.h. This patch is purely mechanical. I
created it by running the two commands:
git rm common/gdb_string.h
perl -pi -e's/"gdb_string.h"/<string.h>/;' *.[chyl] */*.[chyl]

Following the addition of the --language optiton to all GDB/MI
commands, I realized that there was no easy way for front-ends
to figure out whether this features is available or not. So I added
a "language-option" entry to -list-features.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add "language-options"
to -list-features output.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document the new
"language-option" entry in the output of the "-list-features"
command.
Frontend sometimes need to evaluate expressions that are
language-specific. For instance, Eclipse uses the following
expression to determine the size of an address on the target:
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C,
this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get...
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context."
... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result.
The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C
before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as:
1. save current language
2. set language c
3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
4. Restore language
This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context
Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting
the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of
general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead.
This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar
new command option: --language LANG. Example of use:
-data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)"
^done,value="4"
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-parse.h (struct mi_parse) <language>: New field.
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_execute): Temporarily set language to
PARSE->LANGUAGE during command execution, if set.
* mi/mi-parse.c: Add "language.h" #include.
(mi_parse): Add parsing of "--language" command option.
* NEWS: Add entry mentioning the new "--language" command option.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-language.exp: New file.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Show): Add xref anchor for "show language" command.
(Context management): Place current subsection text into its own

command option.
Rather than having -list-features report support for the GDB/MI
commands providing access to Ada exception catchpoints with one entry,
and the GDB/MI command providing the list of Ada exceptions with
a second entry, this patch merges it all within one single entry.
This is OK, because all these commands were added within a short
amount of time, and within the same release cycle; and it reduces
a bit the size of the output.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Replace "info-ada-exceptions"
entry with "ada-exceptions".
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Delete
the documentation of "info-ada-exceptions" in the output
of the "-list-features" command. Add the documentation
of the "ada-exception" entry instead.
This patch implements a new GDB/MI command implementing the equivalent
of the "info exceptions" CLI command. The command syntax is:
-info-ada-exceptions [REGEXP]
Here is an example of usage (slightly formatted by hand to make it
easier to read):
-info-ada-exceptions ions\.a_
^done,ada-exceptions=
{nr_rows="2",nr_cols="2",
hdr=[{width="1",alignment="-1",col_name="name",colhdr="Name"},
{width="1",alignment="-1",col_name="address",colhdr="Address"}],
body=[{name="global_exceptions.a_global_exception",
address="0x0000000000613a80"},
{name="global_exceptions.a_private_exception",
address="0x0000000000613ac0"}]}
Also, in order to allow graphical frontends to easily determine
whether this command is available or not, the output of the
"-list-features" command has been augmented to contain
"info-ada-exceptions".

* mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_info_ada_exceptions): Add declaration.
* mi/mi-cmds.c (mi_cmds): Add entry for -info-ada-exceptions

Currently, in some scenarios, GDB prints <optimized out> when printing
outer frame registers. An <optimized out> register is a confusing
concept. What this really means is that the register is
call-clobbered, or IOW, not saved by the callee. This patch makes GDB
say that instead.
Before patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax $1 = <optimized out>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <optimized out>
After patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax
$1 = <not saved>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <not saved>
However, if for some reason the debug info describes a variable as
being in such a register (**), we still want to print <optimized out>
when printing the variable. IOW, <not saved> is reserved for
inspecting registers at the machine level. The patch uses
lval_register+optimized_out to encode the not saved registers, and
makes it so that optimized out variables always end up in
!lval_register values.
** See <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00787.html>.
Current/recent enough GCC doesn't mark variables/arguments as being in
call-clobbered registers in the ranges corresponding to function
calls, while older GCCs did. Newer GCCs will just not say where the
variable is, so GDB will end up realizing the variable is optimized
out.
frame_unwind_got_optimized creates not_lval optimized out registers,
so by default, in most cases, we'll see <optimized out>.
value_of_register is the function eval.c uses for evaluating
OP_REGISTER (again, $pc, etc.), and related bits. It isn't used for
anything else. This function makes sure to return lval_register
values. The patch makes "info registers" and the MI equivalent use it
too. I think it just makes a lot of sense, as this makes it so that
when printing machine registers ($pc, etc.), we go through a central
function.
We're likely to need a different encoding at some point, if/when we
support partially saved registers. Even then, I think
value_of_register will still be the spot to tag the intention to print
machine register values differently.
value_from_register however may also return optimized out
lval_register values, so at a couple places where we're computing a
variable's location from a dwarf expression, we convert the resulting
value away from lval_register to a regular optimized out value.

The issue is that print_stack_frame always sets the current sal to the
frame's sal. print_frame_info (which print_stack_frame calls to do
most of the work) also sets the last displayed sal, but only if
print_what isn't LOCATION. Now the call in question, from within
thread.c:print_thread_info, does pass in LOCATION as print_what, but
print_stack_frame doesn't have the same check print_frame_info has.
We could consider adding it, but setting these globals depending on
print_what isn't very clean, IMO. What we have is two logically
distinct operations mixed in the same function(s):
#1 - print frame, in the format specified by {print_what,
print_level and print_args}.
#2 - We're displaying a frame to the user, and I want the default
sal to point here, because the program stopped here, or the user
did some context-changing command (up, down, etc.).
So I added a new parameter to print_stack_frame & friends for point
#2, and went through all calls in the tree adjusting as necessary.

When I looked for print_stack_frame calls in MI, I wondered why this
one passing down SRC_AND_LOC. print_stack_frame does:
/* For mi, alway print location and address. */
if (ui_out_is_mi_like_p (current_uiout))
print_what = LOC_AND_ADDRESS;
So it really doesn't matter which value is passed down, but, to avoid
confusion in readers, it's better to use the MI standard here.
There's another SRC_AND_LOC in mi-interp.c, but that one makes sense.

which is meant to be the MI equivalent of the CLI `info tasks'
command.
This new command returns an array, with each row corresponding
to one task. For now, the columns of the array corresponds to
the columns displayed in the CLI output.
