This new option, disabled by default for now, allows specifying
whether to build GDB, GDBserver, and friends with a C++ (98/03)
compiler.
The name of the switch should be familiar to those who followed GCC's
own C++ conversion process.
. Adding -fpermissive to COMPILER in C++ mode (see the new
build-with-cxx.m4 file) makes errors like these be warnings instead:
gdb/infrun.c:6597:1: error: initializing argument 1 of ‘void sig_print_info(gdb_signal)’ [-fpermissive]
sig_print_info (enum gdb_signal oursig)
^
gdb/infrun.c: In function ‘void do_restore_infcall_suspend_state_cleanup(void*)’:
gdb/infrun.c:7164:39: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘infcall_suspend_state*’ [-fpermissive]
restore_infcall_suspend_state (state);
^
so that the compiler carries on compiling the file. -Werror still
catches the warnings, so nothing is lost, only our lifes are made
easier by concentrating on getting other more important things out of
the way first.
There's no way to quiet those warnings. Until they're all fixed, when
building in C++ mode, -Werror is disabled by default.
. Adding -Wno-narrowing suppresses thousands of instances of this warning:
gdb/arm-linux-tdep.c:439:1: error: narrowing conversion of ‘-1’ from ‘int’ to ‘ULONGEST {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]
gdb/arm-linux-tdep.c:439:1: error: narrowing conversion of ‘-1l’ from ‘LONGEST {aka long int}’ to ‘ULONGEST {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]
gdb/arm-linux-tdep.c:450:1: error: narrowing conversion of ‘-1’ from ‘int’ to ‘ULONGEST {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]
We can defer handling those until we target C++11.
. Adding -Wno-sign-compare suppresses thousands of instances of this warning:
gdb/linux-record.c:1763:32: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
if (tmpulongest == tdep->fcntl_F_GETLK64)
^
. Adding -Wno-write-strings suppresses thousands of instances of this warning:
gdb/mi/mi-cmd-var.c: In function ‘void mi_cmd_var_show_attributes(char*, char**, int)’:
gdb/mi/mi-cmd-var.c:514:12: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings]
attstr = "editable";
^
gdb/mi/mi-cmd-var.c:516:12: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings]
attstr = "noneditable";
^
For now, it's best to hide these warnings from view until we're
'-fpermissive'-clean, and can thus start building with -Werror.
The C compiler has always managed to build working GDBs with these
issues in the code, so a C++ compiler should too.

Converting GDB to be a C++ program, I stumbled on 'basename' issues,
like:
src/gdb/../include/ansidecl.h:169:64: error: new declaration ‘char* basename(const char*)’
/usr/include/string.h:597:26: error: ambiguates old declaration ‘const char* basename(const char*)’
which I believe led to this bit in gold's configure.ac:
dnl We have to check these in C, not C++, because autoconf generates
dnl tests which have no type information, and current glibc provides
dnl multiple declarations of functions like basename when compiling
dnl with C++.
AC_CHECK_DECLS([basename, ffs, asprintf, vasprintf, snprintf, vsnprintf, strverscmp])
These checks IIUC intend to generate all the HAVE_DECL_FOO symbols
that libiberty.h and ansidecl.h check.
GDB is missing these checks currently, which results in the conflict
shown above.
This adds an m4 file that both GDB and GDBserver's configury use to
pull in the autoconf checks that libiberty clients needs done in order
to use these libiberty.h/ansidecl.h.

In some scenarios, GDB or GDBserver can be spawned with input _not_
connected to a tty, and then tests that rely on stdio fail with
timeouts, because the inferior's stdout and stderr streams end up
fully buffered.
See discussion here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00809.html
We have a hack in place that works around this for Windows testing,
that forces every test program to link with an .o file that does
(lib/set_unbuffered_mode.c):
static int __gdb_set_unbuffered_output (void) __attribute__ ((constructor));
static int
__gdb_set_unbuffered_output (void)
{
setvbuf (stdout, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ);
setvbuf (stderr, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ);
}
That's a bit hacky; it ends up done for _all_ tests.
This patch adds a way to do this unbuffering explicitly from the test
code itself, so it is done only when necessary, and for all
targets/hosts. For starters, it adjusts gdb.base/interrupt.c to use
it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and against a remote gdbserver
board file that connects to the target with ssh, with and without -t
(create pty).

As far as I know, "catch syscall" is supported on hppa*-hp-hpux*, but

gcc was not invoked correctly. This patch fixes the compiler
invocation.

method.
For amd64, CONTEXT_FULL does not contain CONTEXT_SEGMENTS, which seems
to be needed to retrieve all the segment registers. Add it explicitly,
with a little de-cruftification.
The value of the segment registers isn't terribly useful on amd64, but
at least this makes the output of 'info registers' correct.

Extend the address modifier parsing to distinguish between the
modifers used in LDR literal and LDR register offset address modes.
The current parser incorrectly accepts the :got: modifier on a
register offset instruction resulting in silent corruption of the
output binary.
The current implementation of the :got: assembler modifier does not
distinguish the ADR and ADRP instruction. The :got: modifier does not
make sense on and ADR instruction and should be error'd rather than
the current behavior of applying an inappropriate relocation to the
output and scrambling the underlying instruction silently.
The HOWTO table entries for the TLSLE_MOVW_TPREL_* relocations are
wrong by inspection. The current implementation does not actually use
these field widths for these relocations but they should be corrected.

When doing finish in a function, if gdb fails to return a value, gdb
also fails at printing the value type if this type is a struct.
For example :

Value returned has type: . Cannot determine contents
This patch fixes this by calling type_to_string to print the type
so that we can support these types.

I was looking at a current glibc using objdump today and saw an odd
plt call stub.
0000000000044d80 <00000033.plt_call.__strchrnul>:
44d80: f8 41 00 28 std r2,40(r1)
44d84: e9 82 8c f8 ld r12,-29448(r2)
44d88: 7d 89 03 a6 mtctr r12
44d8c: e8 42 8d 00 ld r2,-29440(r2)
44d90: 28 22 00 00 cmpldi r2,0
44d94: 4c e2 04 20 bnectr+
44d98: 48 13 84 f0 b 17d288 <realloc@plt>
What? It doesn't branch to __strchrnul@plt on finding a zero r2?
Turns out this isn't a real problem since the stub is for loading an
ifunc, so will not be lazily resolved and thus r2 will never be zero.
Of course, that means the thread-safety check is unnecessary.
I also tweak the special __tls_get_addr_opt call stub here, to
restore r2 immediately after the call. Not doing that might affect
eh_frame unwinding.
* elf64-ppc.c (plt_stub_size, build_plt_stub): Don't build
thread-safe stubs for iplt.

- Use signal frame sniffers that look for the signal trampoline
instruction sequence to detect most signal frames.
- FreeBSD kernels between 9.2 and 10.1 inclusive do not include the
signal trampoline code in process core dumps. To detect signal
frames for core dumps under these kernels, use the
kern.proc.sigtramp.<pid> sysctl to fetch the location of the signal
trampoline in the gdb process and assume that PC values within this
location are signal frames. This depends on that location being
identical for all binaries.
