Replace all uses of it by type::field.
Note that since type::field returns a reference to the field, some spots
are used to assign the whole field structure. See ctfread.c, function
attach_fields_to_type, for example. This is the same as was happening
with the macro, so I don't think it's a problem, but if anybody sees a
really nicer way to do this, now could be a good time to implement it.

This changes the gdb Python API to add support for dynamic types. In
particular, this adds an attribute to gdb.Type, and updates some
attributes to reflect dynamic sizes and field offsets.
There's still no way to get the dynamic type from one of its concrete
instances. This could perhaps be added if needed.

I recently learned that move constructors generally should be marked
"noexcept". This ensures that standard containers will move objects
when possible, rather than copy them.
This patch fixes the cases I could find. Note that implicitly-defined
or defaulted move constructors will automatically do what you'd
expect; that is, they are noexcept if all the members have noexcept
move constructors.
While doing this, I noticed a couple of odd cases where the move
constructor seemed to assume that the object being constructed could
have state requiring destruction. I've fixed these as well. See
completion_result and scoped_mmap.

Currently there are many prefix commands that do nothing but call
either help_list or cmd_show_list. I happened to notice that one such
call, for "set print type", used the wrong command list parameter,
causing incorrect output.
Rather than fix this bug in isolation, I decided to eliminate this
possibility by adding two new ways to add prefix commands, which
simply route the call to help_list or cmd_show_list, as appropriate.
This makes it impossible for a mismatch to occur.
In some cases, a bit of output was removed; however, I don't think
this output in general was very useful. It seemed redundant with
what's already printed by help_list. A representative example is this
hunk, removed from ada-lang.c:
- printf_unfiltered (_(\
-"\"set ada\" must be followed by the name of a setting.\n"));
This simplified the CLI style set/show commands quite a bit, and
allowed the deletion of a macro.
This also cleans up some unusual code in windows-tdep.c.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 30. Note that I have no way to build the
go32-nat.c change.

| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Information about the deprecated function can be found here:
https://docs.python.org/3.9/whatsnew/3.9.html#deprecated
Specifically, with regard to PyEval_InitThreads(), it says:
The PyEval_InitThreads() and PyEval_ThreadsInitialized() functions
are now deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.11. Calling
PyEval_InitThreads() now does nothing. The GIL is initialized by
Py_Initialize() since Python 3.7. (Contributed by Victor Stinner
in bpo-39877.)
I chose to disable the call with a #if test using PY_VERSION_HEX.
There is precedent for use of PY_VERSION_HEX; it's used in two places
in python-internal.h. I noticed that under certain circumstances
python-internal.h defines PyEval_InitThreads to be nothing, which
accomplishes the same thing. I considered doing something similar for
this case, but decided against it because, at some point in the future,
the presence of PyEval_InitThreads() without some explanation will be
confusing to a reader who won't be able to find PyEval_InitThreads in
the current (future for us) Python API. IMO, use of the #if along
with an accompanying comment seemed more straightforward.

* python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Don't call
PyEval_InitThreads for Python 3.9 and beyond.

This is caused by the following: the python colorizer initializes the lexer
with default options (no second argument to get_lexer_for_filename):
...
def colorize(filename, contents):
# Don't want any errors.
try:
lexer = lexers.get_lexer_for_filename(filename)
formatter = formatters.TerminalFormatter()
return highlight(contents, lexer, formatter)
...
which include option stripnl=True, which strips leading and trailing newlines.
This causes the python colorizer to strip the two leading newlines of async.c.
Fix this by initializing the lexer with stripnl=False.

This changes the extension language pretty-printers to use the value
API.
Note that new functions were needed, for both Guile and Python.
Currently both languages always wrap values by removing the values
from the value chain. This makes sense to avoid strange behavior with
watchpoints, and to avoid excessive memory use. However, when
printing, it's important to leave the passed-in value untouched, in
case pretty-printing does nothing -- that way the caller can still
access it.

This is an update of this patch:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-09/msg00884.html
This patch attempts to address PR gdb/23718 by re-enabling stdin
whenever an exception is caught during gdb.execute().
When Python gdb.execute() is called, an exception could occur (e.g. the
target disappearing), which is then converted into a Python exception. If
stdin was disabled before the exception is caught, it is not re-enabled,
because the exception doesn't propagate to the top level of the event loop,
whose catch block would otherwise enable it.
The result is that when execution of a Python script completes, GDB does
not prompt or accept input, and is effectively hung.
This change rectifies the issue by re-enabling stdin in the catch block of
execute_gdb_command, prior to converting the exception to a Python
exception.
Since this patch was originally posted I've added a test, and also I
converted the code to re-enable stdin from this:
SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS ()
{
async_enable_stdin ();
}
to simply this:
async_enable_stdin ();
My reasoning is that we only need the SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS if, at the time
the exception is caught, the current_ui might be different than at the time
we called async_disable_stdin. Within python's execute_gdb_command I think
it should be impossible to switch current_ui, so the SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS
isn't needed.

While GNU Source Highlight is good, it's also difficult to build and
distribute. For one thing, it needs Boost. For another, it has an
unusual configuration and installation setup.
Pygments, a Python library, doesn't suffer from these issues, and so I
thought it would be a reasonable fallback.
This patch implements this idea. GNU Source Highlight is preferred,
but if it is unavailable (or fails), the extension languages are
tried. This patch also implements support for Pygments.
Something similar could be done for Guile, using:
https://dthompson.us/projects/guile-syntax-highlight.html
However, I don't know enough about Guile internals to make this
happen, so I have not done it here.

PR symtab/12535 points out that gdb.decode_line("") will cause a

I think the empty linespec does not really make sense. So, this patch
changes gdb.decode_line to treat a whitespace-only linespec the same
as a non-existing argument.

This commit adds multi-target support to GDB. What this means is that
with this commit, GDB can now be connected to different targets at the
same time. E.g., you can debug a live native process and a core dump
at the same time, connect to multiple gdbservers, etc.
Actually, the word "target" is overloaded in gdb. We already have a
target stack, with pushes several target_ops instances on top of one
another. We also have "info target" already, which means something
completely different to what this patch does.
So from here on, I'll be using the "target connections" term, to mean
an open process_stratum target, pushed on a target stack. This patch
makes gdb have multiple target stacks, and multiple process_stratum
targets open simultaneously. The user-visible changes / commands will
also use this terminology, but of course it's all open to debate.
User-interface-wise, not that much changes. The main difference is
that each inferior may have its own target connection.
A target connection (e.g., a target extended-remote connection) may
support debugging multiple processes, just as before.
Say you're debugging against gdbserver in extended-remote mode, and
you do "add-inferior" to prepare to spawn a new process, like:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) file a.out
...
(gdb) start
...
At this point, you have two inferiors connected to the same gdbserver.
With this commit, GDB will maintain a target stack per inferior,
instead of a global target stack.
To preserve the behavior above, by default, "add-inferior" makes the
new inferior inherit a copy of the target stack of the current
inferior. Same across a fork - the child inherits a copy of the
target stack of the parent. While the target stacks are copied, the
targets themselves are not. Instead, target_ops is made a
refcounted_object, which means that target_ops instances are
refcounted, which each inferior counting for a reference.
What if you want to create an inferior and connect it to some _other_
target? For that, this commit introduces a new "add-inferior
-no-connection" option that makes the new inferior not share the
current inferior's target. So you could do:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
Remote debugging using :9999
...
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 <null>
(gdb) tar extended-remote :10000
Remote debugging using :10000
...
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 process 18450 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
(gdb)
A following patch will extended "info inferiors" to include a column
indicating which connection an inferior is bound to, along with a
couple other UI tweaks.
Other than that, debugging is the same as before. Users interact with
inferiors and threads as before. The only difference is that
inferiors may be bound to processes running in different machines.
That's pretty much all there is to it in terms of noticeable UI
changes.
On to implementation.
Since we can be connected to different systems at the same time, a
ptid_t is no longer a unique identifier. Instead a thread can be
identified by a pair of ptid_t and 'process_stratum_target *', the
later being the instance of the process_stratum target that owns the
process/thread. Note that process_stratum_target inherits from
target_ops, and all process_stratum targets inherit from
process_stratum_target. In earlier patches, many places in gdb were
converted to refer to threads by thread_info pointer instead of
ptid_t, but there are still places in gdb where we start with a
pid/tid and need to find the corresponding inferior or thread_info
objects. So you'll see in the patch many places adding a
process_stratum_target parameter to functions that used to take only a
ptid_t.
Since each inferior has its own target stack now, we can always find
the process_stratum target for an inferior. That is done via a
inf->process_target() convenience method.
Since each inferior has its own target stack, we need to handle the
"beneath" calls when servicing target calls. The solution I settled
with is just to make sure to switch the current inferior to the
inferior you want before making a target call. Not relying on global
context is just not feasible in current GDB. Fortunately, there
aren't that many places that need to do that, because generally most
code that calls target methods already has the current context
pointing to the right inferior/thread. Note, to emphasize -- there's
no method to "switch to this target stack". Instead, you switch the
current inferior, and that implicitly switches the target stack.
In some spots, we need to iterate over all inferiors so that we reach
all target stacks.
Native targets are still singletons. There's always only a single
instance of such targets.
Remote targets however, we'll have one instance per remote connection.
The exec target is still a singleton. There's only one instance. I
did not see the point of instanciating more than one exec_target
object.
After vfork, we need to make sure to push the exec target on the new
inferior. See exec_on_vfork.
For type safety, functions that need a {target, ptid} pair to identify
a thread, take a process_stratum_target pointer for target parameter
instead of target_ops *. Some shared code in gdb/nat/ also need to
gain a target pointer parameter. This poses an issue, since gdbserver
doesn't have process_stratum_target, only target_ops. To fix this,
this commit renames gdbserver's target_ops to process_stratum_target.
I think this makes sense. There's no concept of target stack in
gdbserver, and gdbserver's target_ops really implements a
process_stratum-like target.
The thread and inferior iterator functions also gain
process_stratum_target parameters. These are used to be able to
iterate over threads and inferiors of a given target. Following usual
conventions, if the target pointer is null, then we iterate over
threads and inferiors of all targets.
I tried converting "add-inferior" to the gdb::option framework, as a
preparatory patch, but that stumbled on the fact that gdb::option does
not support file options yet, for "add-inferior -exec". I have a WIP
patchset that adds that, but it's not a trivial patch, mainly due to
need to integrate readline's filename completion, so I deferred that
to some other time.
In infrun.c/infcmd.c, the main change is that we need to poll events
out of all targets. See do_target_wait. Right after collecting an
event, we switch the current inferior to an inferior bound to the
target that reported the event, so that target methods can be used
while handling the event. This makes most of the code transparent to
multi-targets. See fetch_inferior_event.
infrun.c:stop_all_threads is interesting -- in this function we need
to stop all threads of all targets. What the function does is send an
asynchronous stop request to all threads, and then synchronously waits
for events, with target_wait, rinse repeat, until all it finds are
stopped threads. Now that we have multiple targets, it's not
efficient to synchronously block in target_wait waiting for events out
of one target. Instead, we implement a mini event loop, with
interruptible_select, select'ing on one file descriptor per target.
For this to work, we need to be able to ask the target for a waitable
file descriptor. Such file descriptors already exist, they are the
descriptors registered in the main event loop with add_file_handler,
inside the target_async implementations. This commit adds a new
target_async_wait_fd target method that just returns the file
descriptor in question. See wait_one / stop_all_threads in infrun.c.
The 'threads_executing' global is made a per-target variable. Since
it is only relevant to process_stratum_target targets, this is where
it is put, instead of in target_ops.
You'll notice that remote.c includes some FIXME notes. These refer to
the fact that the global arrays that hold data for the remote packets
supported are still globals. For example, if we connect to two
different servers/stubs, then each might support different remote
protocol features. They might even be different architectures, like
e.g., one ARM baremetal stub, and a x86 gdbserver, to debug a
host/controller scenario as a single program. That isn't going to
work correctly today, because of said globals. I'm leaving fixing
that for another pass, since it does not appear to be trivial, and I'd
rather land the base work first. It's already useful to be able to
debug multiple instances of the same server (e.g., a distributed
cluster, where you have full control over the servers installed), so I
think as is it's already reasonable incremental progress.
Current limitations:
- You can only resume more that one target at the same time if all
targets support asynchronous debugging, and support non-stop mode.
It should be possible to support mixed all-stop + non-stop
backends, but that is left for another time. This means that
currently in order to do multi-target with gdbserver you need to
issue "maint set target-non-stop on". I would like to make that
mode be the default, but we're not there yet. Note that I'm
talking about how the target backend works, only. User-visible
all-stop mode works just fine.
- As explained above, connecting to different remote servers at the
same time is likely to produce bad results if they don't support the
exact set of RSP features.

The documentation for make-breakpoint from the Guile API and the `spec'
variant of the gdb.Breakpoint constructor from the Python API state that
the format acceptable for location strings is the same as that accepted
by the break command. However, using the -probe qualifier at the
beginning of the location string causes a GDB internal error as it
attempts to decode a probe location in the wrong code path. Without this
functionality, there doesn't appear to be another way to set breakpoints
on probe points from Python or Guile scripts.
This patch introduces a new helper function that returns a
breakpoint_ops instance appropriate for a parsed location and updates
the Guile and Python bindings to use said function, rather than the
current hard-coded use of bkpt_breakpoint_ops. Since this logic is
duplicated in the handling of the `break' and `trace' commands, those
are also updated to call into the new helper function.

Introduce a new class to wrap up the parameters needed for the
function search_symbols, which has now become a member function of
this new class.
The motivation is that search_symbols already takes a lot of

commit hopefully makes collecting the state required for a search
easier.
As part of this conversion the list of filenames in which to search
has been converted to a std::vector.

The problem seems to be created by gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter () releasing the GIL lock
too early:
~gdbpy_enter () does:
...
PyGILState_Release (m_state);
python_gdbarch = m_gdbarch;
python_language = m_language;
restore_active_ext_lang (m_previous_active);
}
So, it releases the GIL lock, does 2 assignments and then leads to the following
call sequence:
restore_active_ext_lang => check_quit_flag => python.c gdbpy_check_quit_flag
=> PyOS_InterruptOccurred => is_main.
is_main code is:
static int
is_main(_PyRuntimeState *runtime)
{
unsigned long thread = PyThread_get_thread_ident();
PyInterpreterState *interp = _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(runtime)->interp;
return (thread == runtime->main_thread
&& interp == runtime->interpreters.main);
}
The macros and functions to access the thread state are documented as:
/* Variable and macro for in-line access to current thread
and interpreter state */
#define _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(runtime) \
((PyThreadState*)_Py_atomic_load_relaxed(&(runtime)->gilstate.tstate_current))
/* Get the current Python thread state.
Efficient macro reading directly the 'gilstate.tstate_current' atomic
variable. The macro is unsafe: it does not check for error and it can
return NULL.
The caller must hold the GIL.
See also PyThreadState_Get() and PyThreadState_GET(). */
#define _PyThreadState_GET() _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(&_PyRuntime)
So, we see that GDB releases the GIL and then potentially calls
_PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState that needs the GIL.
It is not very clear why the problem is only observed when running under
Valgrind. Probably caused by the slowdown due to Valgrind and/or to the 'single
thread' scheduling by Valgrind.
This patch fixes the crashes by releasing the GIT lock later.
2019-11-26 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* python/python.c (gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter): Release GIL after
restore_active_ext_lang, as GIL is needed for (indirectly)
called PyOS_InterruptOccurred.

Most of the leaks in python tests are due to the fact that many
PyObject xxxxx_dealloc functions are missing the line to free self
or obj such as:
Py_TYPE (self)->tp_free (self);
or
Py_TYPE (obj)->tp_free (obj);
With this patch, the number of python tests leaking decreases from 52 to 12.

The leak is due to a superfluous Py_INCREF when the python object
is allocated inside gdbpy_breakpoint_created, when the python object
is allocated locally: this object has already a refcount of 1, and
the only reference is the reference from the C breakpoint object.
The Py_INCREF is however needed when the python object was created from
python: the python object was stored in bppy_pending_object, and
gdbpy_breakpoint_created creates a new reference to this object.
Solve the leak by calling 'Py_INCREF (newbp);' only in the bppy_pending_object
case.
Regression tested on debian/amd64 natively and under valgrind on centos/amd64.
Before the patch, 795 tests have a definite leak.
After the patch, 197 have a definite leak.
Thanks to Tom, that helped on irc with the python refcount logic.

* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (gdbpy_breakpoint_created):

If gdb.lookup_static_symbol is going to return a single symbol then it
makes sense (I think) for it to return a context sensitive choice of
symbol, that is the global static symbol that would be visible to the
program at that point.
However, if the user of the python API wants to instead get a
consistent set of global static symbols, no matter where they stop,
then they have to instead consider all global static symbols with a
given name - there could be many. That is what this new API function
offers, it returns a list (possibly empty) of all global static
symbols matching a given name (and optionally a given symbol domain).

When using gdb.lookup_static_symbol I think that GDB should find
static symbols (global symbol with static linkage) from the current
object file ahead of static symbols from other object files.
This means that if we have two source files f1.c and f2.c, and both
files contains 'static int foo;', then when we are stopped in f1.c a
call to 'gdb.lookup_static_symbol ("foo")' will find f1.c::foo, and if
we are stopped in f2.c we would find 'f2.c::foo'.
Given that gdb.lookup_static_symbol always returns a single symbol,
but there can be multiple static symbols with the same name GDB is
always making a choice about which symbols to return. I think that it
makes sense for the choice GDB makes in this case to match what a user
would get on the command line if they asked to 'print foo'.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-symbol.c: Declare and call function from new
py-symbol-2.c file.
* gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Compile both source files, and add new
tests for gdb.lookup_static_symbol.

* python.texi (Symbols In Python): Extend documentation for
gdb.lookup_static_symbol.

static block of current object file first. Also fix typo in
header comment.

This changes command_line_input to return a "const char *", which is
appropriate because the memory is owned by command_line_input. Then
it fixes up the users.
I looked at making command_line_input transfer ownership to its caller
instead, but this is complicated due to the way read_next_line is
called, so I decided against it.
Tested by rebuilding.

The la_get_string member of struct language_defn was intended to
provide a way to fetch string data from a "string" object in a
language-dependent way. However, it turned out that this was never
needed, and was only ever implemented for C. This patch removes the
language hook entirely.

The documentation for Progspace.block_for_pc says:
Return the innermost gdb.Block containing the given pc value. If the
block cannot be found for the pc value specified, the function will
return None.
However, the implementation actually throws an error for invalid
addresses, like this:
(gdb) python print gdb.current_progspace ().block_for_pc (1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: Cannot locate object file for block.
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)
This has been the behaviour since the command was first added (when
the documentation was still as above) in this commit:
commit f3e9a8177c
Date: Wed Feb 24 21:18:28 2010 +0000
Since that commit the code in question has moved around, but the
important parts are largely unchanged. The function in question is
now in py-progspace.c:pspy_block_for_pc.
Examining the code shows that the real state is more complex than just
the function throws an error instead of returning None, instead the
real situation is:
1. If we can't find a compilation unit for the $pc value then we
throw an error, but
2. If we can find a compilation unit, but can't find a block within
the compilation unit for the $pc then return None.
I suspect for most users of the Python API this distinction is
irrelevant, and I propose that we standardise on one single failure
mechanism.
Given the function can currently return None in some cases, and is
documented to return None on error, I propose we make that the case
for all error paths, which is what this patch does.
As the Progspace.block_for_pc method is currently untested, I've added
some basic tests including for a call with an invalid $pc.
This is potentially an API breaking change, though an undocumented
part of the API. Also, users should have been checking and handling a
None return value anyway, so my hope is that this shouldn't be too
disruptive.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-progspace.c (pspy_block_for_pc): Return None for all
error paths.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-progspace.exp: Add tests for the
Progspace.block_for_pc method.

I'm seeing this failure:
...
(gdb) print /x $bnd0 = {0x10, 0x20}^M
$23 = {lbound = 0x10, ubound = 0x20}^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-mpx.exp: verify size for bnd0
...
The test expects a pretty printer to be actived printing 'size 17':
...
set test_string ".*\\\: size 17.*"
gdb_test "print /x \$bnd0 = {0x10, 0x20}" "$test_string" "verify size for bnd0"
...
but that doesn't happen.
The pretty printer is for the type of the $bnd0 register, which is created
here in i386_bnd_type:
...
t = arch_composite_type (gdbarch,
"__gdb_builtin_type_bound128", TYPE_CODE_STRUCT);
append_composite_type_field (t, "lbound", bt->builtin_data_ptr);
append_composite_type_field (t, "ubound", bt->builtin_data_ptr);
TYPE_NAME (t) = "builtin_type_bound128";
...
And the pretty-printer is registered here in
gdb/python/lib/gdb/printer/bound_registers.py:
...
gdb.printing.add_builtin_pretty_printer ('mpx_bound128',
'^__gdb_builtin_type_bound128',
MpxBound128Printer)
...
Fix the pretty printer by changing the regexp argument of
add_builtin_pretty_printer to match "builtin_type_bound128", the TYPE_NAME.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-10-09 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* python/lib/gdb/printer/bound_registers.py: Use
'^builtin_type_bound128' as regexp argument for
add_builtin_pretty_printer.
This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.
