GDB is not able to print logical true values for Flang compiler.
Actual result:
(gdb) p l
$1 = 4294967295
Expected result:
(gdb) p l
$1 = .TRUE.
This is due to GDB expecting representation of true value being 1.
The Fortran standard doesnt specify how LOGICAL types are represented.
Different compilers use different non-zero values to represent logical
true. The gfortran compiler uses 1 to represent logical true and the
flang compiler uses -1. GDB should accept all the non-zero values as
true.
This is achieved by handling TYPE_CODE_BOOL in f_val_print and
printing any non-zero value as true.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* f-valprint.c (f_val_print): Handle TYPE_CODE_BOOL, any non-zero
value should be printed as true.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.fortran/logical.exp: Add tests that any non-zero value is
printed as true.
Windows executables linked with -dynamicbase get a new base address
when loaded, which makes debugging impossible if the executable isn't
also rebased in gdb.
The new base address is read from the Process Environment Block.

Ensure GDB printf command can print convenience var strings without a target.
GDB was extended in order to allow the printing of convenience
variables that are strings without a target. However, this introduced
a regression that hasn't been caught by our testsuite (because there
were no tests for it).
The problem happens when we try to print a convenience variable that
holds the address of a string in the inferior. The following
two-liners can reproduce the issue:
$ echo -e 'int main(){const char a[]="test";return 0;}' | gcc -x c - -O0-g3
$ ./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory -q ./a.out -ex 'start' -ex 'set $x = (const char *) (&a[0] + 2)' -ex 'printf "%s\n", $x'
After some investigation, I found that the problem happens on
printcmd.c:printf_c_string. In the case above, we're taking the first
branch of the 'if' condition, which assumes that there will be a value
to be printed at "value_contents (value)". There isn't. We actually
need to obtain the address that the variable points to, and read the
contents from memory.
It seems to me that we should avoid this branch if the TYPE_CODE of
"value_type (value)" is TYPE_CODE_PTR (i.e., a pointer to the
inferior's memory). This is what this patch does.
I took the liberty to extend the current testcase under
gdb.base/printcmds.exp and create a test that exercises this scenario.
No regressions have been found on Buildbot.
gdb/ChangeLog:

The problem is that the command generates a lot of output, which is matched by
a single '.*':

This function returns the result of a quite big condition. I think it
would be more readeable if it was broken up in smaller pieces and
commented. This is what this patch does.
I also introduced gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping, since it shows
the intent better than checking for gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn_p.
I also used that new function in displaced_step_prepare_throw.
I also updated the comment on top of can_use_displaced_stepping, which
seemed a bit outdated with respect to non-stop. The comment likely
dates from before it was possible to have targets that always operate
non-stop under the hood, even when the user-visible mode is all-stop.
No functional changes intended.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping): New.
(use_displaced_stepping): Break up conditions in smaller pieces.
Use gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping.
(displaced_step_prepare_throw): Use
gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping.
This commit aims to give a cleaner mechanism by which the user can
prevent GDB from trying to load any previous command history.
Currently the user can change the path to the history file, either
using a command line flag, or by setting the GDBHISTFILE environment
variable, and if the path is set to a non-existent file, then
obviously GDB wont load any command history. However, this feels like
a bit of a bodge, I'd like to add an official mechanism by which we
can disable command history loading.
Why would we want to prevent command history loading? The specific
use case I have is GDB starting with a CWD that is a network mounted
directory, and there is no command history present. Still GDB will
access the network in order to check for the file. In my particular
use case I'm actually starting a large number of GDB instances in
parallel, all in the same network mounted directory, the large number
of network accesses looking for this file introduces a noticeable
delay at GDB startup.
The approach I'm proposing here is a slight adjustment to the current
rules for setting up the history filename. Currently, if a user does
this, they see an error:
(gdb) set history filename
Argument required (filename to set it to.).
However, if a user does this:
$ GDBHISTFILE= gdb --quiet
(gdb) set history save on
(gdb) q
warning: Could not rename -gdb18416~ to : No such file or directory
So, we already have a bug in this area. My plan is to allow the empty
filename to be accepted, and for this to mean, neither load, nor save
the command history.
This does mean that we now have two mechanisms to prevent saving the
command history:
(gdb) set history filename
or
(gdb) set history save off
But the only way to prevent loading the command history is to set the
filename to the empty string _before_ you get to a GDB prompt, either
using a command line option, or the environment variable.
I've updated some of the show commands, for example this session:
(gdb) set history filename
(gdb) show history filename
There is no filename currently set for recording the command history in.
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history record on exit is off.
(gdb) set history save on
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history is disabled due to the value of 'history filename'.
(gdb) set history filename /tmp/hist
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history record on exit is on.
I've updated the manual, and added some tests.

Multi-target support
There was a regression in GDB's support for older aspects of the
remote protocol. Specifically, when a target sends the 'S' stop reply
packet (which doesn't include a thread-id) then GDB has to figure out
which thread actually stopped.
Before the above commit GDB figured this out by using inferior_ptid in
process_stop_reply, which contained the ptid of the current
process/thread. This would be fine for single threaded
targets (which is the only place using an S packet makes sense), but
in the general case, relying on inferior_ptid for processing a stop is
wrong - there's no reason to believe that what was GDB's current
thread will be the same thread that just stopped in the target.
With the above commit the inferior_ptid now has the value null_ptid
inside process_stop_reply, this can be seen in do_target_wait, where
we call switch_to_inferior_no_thread before calling do_target_wait_1.
The problem this causes can be seen in the new test that runs
gdbserver using the flag --disable-packet=T, and causes GDB to throw
this assertion:
inferior.c:279: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(process_stratum_target*, int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
A similar problem was fixed in this commit:
commit 3cada74087
Date: Thu Jan 11 00:23:04 2018 +0000
Fix backwards compatibility with old GDBservers (PR remote/22597)
However, this commit deals with the case where the T packet doesn't
include a thread-id, not the S packet case. This commit solves the
problem providing a thread-id at the GDB side if the remote target
doesn't provide one. The thread-id provided comes from
remote_state::general_thread, however, though this does work, I don't
think it is the ideal solution.
The remote_state tracks two threads, the continue_thread and the
general_thread, these are updated when GDB asks the remote target to
switch threads. The general_thread is set before performing things
like register or memory accesses, and the continue_thread is set
before things like continue or step commands. Further, the
general_thread is updated after a target stops to reference the thread
that stopped.
The first thing to note from the above description is that we have a
cycle of dependency, when a T packet arrives without a thread-id we
fill in the thread-id from the general_thread data. The thread-id
from the stop event is then used to set the general_thread. This in
itself feels a little weird.
The second question is why use the general_thread at all? You'd think
given how they are originally set that the continue thread would be a
better choice. The problem with this is that the continue_thread, if
the user just does "continue", will be set to the minus_one_ptid, in
the remote protocol this means all threads. When the stop arrives
with no thread-id and we use continue_thread we end up with a very
similar assertion to before because we now end up trying to lookup a
thread using the minus_one_ptid. By contrast, once GDB has connected
to a remote target the general_thread will be set to a valid
thread-id, after which, if the target is single threaded, and stop
events arrive without a thread-id, everything works fine.
There is one slight weirdness with the above behaviour though. When
GDB first connects to the remote target inferior_ptid is null_ptid,
however, upon connecting we query the remote for its threads. As the
thread information arrives GDB adds the threads to its internal
database, and this process involves setting inferior_ptid to the id of
each new thread in turn. Once we know about all the threads we wait
for a stop event from the remote target to indicate that GDB is now in
control of the target.
The problem is that after adding the new threads we don't reset
inferior_ptid, and the code path we use to wait for a stop event from
the target also doesn't reset inferior_ptid, so it turns out that
during the initial connection inferior_ptid is not null_ptid. This is
lucky, because during the initial connection the general_thread
variable _is_ set to null_ptid.
So, during the initial connection, if the first stop event is missing
a thread-id then we "provide" a thead-id from general_thread. This
turns out to be null_ptid meaning no thread-id is known, and then
during process_stop_reply we fill in the missing thread-id using
inferior_ptid.
This was all discussed on the mailing list here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-02/msg01011.html
My proposal for a fix then is:
1. Move the call to switch_to_inferior_no_thread into
do_target_wait_1, this means that in all cases where we are waiting
for an inferior the inferior_ptid will be set to null_ptid. This is
good as no wait code should rely on inferior_ptid.
2. Remove the use of general_thread from the 'T' packet processing.
The general_thread read here was only ever correct by chance, and we
shouldn't be using it this way.
3. Remove use of inferior_ptid from process_stop_event as this is
wrong, and will always be null_ptid now anyway.
4. When a stop_event has null_ptid due to a lack of thread-id (either
from a T packet or an S packet) then pick the first non exited thread
in the target and use that. This will be fine for single threaded
targets. A multi-thread or multi-inferior aware remote target
should be using T packets with a thread-id, so we give a warning if
the target is multi-threaded, and we are still missing a thread-id.
5. Extend the existing test that covered the T packet with missing
thread-id to also cover the S packet.

When language is set to auto, part of loading an executable is to update the
language accordingly. This is implemented by set_initial_language.
In case of a c++ executable without DW_AT_main_subprogram,
set_initial_language finds "main" in the minimal symbols, and does a lookup of
"main" in the symbol tables to determine the language of the symbol, and uses
that as initial language.
The symbol lookup is done using lookup_symbol which is a wrapper around
lookup_symbol_in_language, using the current language.
So, consider two c++ executables a.out and b.out, which we'll load one after
another. If we track the resulting lookup_symbol_in_language calls:
...
$ gdb -batch \
-ex "b lookup_symbol_in_language" \
-ex r -ex c -ex c \
--args gdb
...
we find that indeed lookup_symbol_in_language is called once using language_c, and
once using language_c_plus:
...
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
Breakpoint 1, lookup_symbol_in_language (name=0x5555568c2050 "main", \
block=0x0, domain=VAR_DOMAIN, lang=language_c, is_a_field_of_this=0x0) \

at ../../gdb/symtab.c:1905
1905 {
(gdb)
...
It seems like a bad idea to have the previous language play a role
in determining the executable language.
Fix this by using lookup_symbol_in_language in set_initial_language with the
default language c as argument.

After creating the reader object, the reader.cu field should not be
NULL. By checking the commit previous to the faulty one mentioned
above, I noticed that the cu field is normally set by
init_cu_die_reader, called from read_cutu_die_from_dwo, itself called
from cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies, itself called from
cutu_reader's constructor.
However, cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies calls
read_cutu_die_from_dwo, passing a pointer to a local `die_reader_specs`
variable. So it's the `cu` field of that object that gets set.
cutu_reader itself is a `die_reader_specs` (it inherits from it), and
the intention was most likely to pass `this` to read_cutu_die_from_dwo.
This way, the fields of the cutu_reader object, which
read_signatured_type will use, are set.
With this, I am able to use:
make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=fission'
and it looks much better. There are still some failures to be
investigated, but that's the usual state of the testsuite.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/read.c (cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies): Remove
reader variable, pass `this` to read_cutu_die_from_dwo.
The test-case gdb.base/c-linkage-name.exp starts with the following test:
...
gdb_test "print symada__cS" \
" = {a = 100829103}" \
"print symada__cS before partial symtab expansion"
...
However, printing the state of the partial symtabs using maint info psymtabs
shows that in fact the symtab has already been expanded:
...
{ psymtab c-linkage-name.c ((struct partial_symtab *) 0x1e27b40)^M
readin yes^M
...
This is due to set_initial_language, which looks up the main symbol, which
expands the psymtab containing main.
Fix this by moving all but main into a separate source file c-linkage-name-2.c.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

This error is caused by an abort during the computation of srcpath

When running gdb.stabs/weird.exp by itself it passes, but if we run a gdb.tui

When running the gdb.tui test, spawn gets renamed to a local version from
lib/tuiterm.exp. The local version calls expect's spawn, and then makes the
local spawn_out(slave,name) variable accessible in the global variable
gdb_spawn_name.
However, the weird.exp test-case uses remote_exec build, which ends up using
local_exec, which given that there's input/output redirection uses open:
...
set result [catch {open "| ${commandline} $inp |& tee $outpf" RDONLY} id]
...
followed by spawn using the -leaveopen option:
...
set result [catch "spawn -ignore SIGHUP -leaveopen $id" result2]
...
which apparently has the effect that spawn_out(slave,name) is not set.
Fix this in the lib/tuiterm.exp local spawn proc by detecting the case that
spawn_out(slave,name) is not set, and handling it accordingly.
Tested gdb.stabs/weird.exp and gdb.tui/*.exp on x86_64-linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2020-02-27 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* lib/tuiterm.exp (spawn): Handle case that spawn_out(slave,name) is
not set.
Include files are represented by a partial symtab, but don't expand to
anything. From dwarf2_psymtab::expand_psymtab:
if (per_cu == NULL)
{
/* It's an include file, no symbols to read for it.
Everything is in the parent symtab. */
readin = true;
return;
}
This patch introduces a new specialization of partial_symtab to handle
this case. In addition to being slightly smaller, I believe an
include file is the only situation where a DWARF psymtab can result in
a null compunit_symtab. This adds an assert to that effect as well.
This change will simplify one of the psymtab sharing patches.
gdb/ChangeLog
2020-02-26 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf2/read.c (struct dwarf2_include_psymtab): New.

(dwarf2_psymtab::get_compunit_symtab): Remove null checks for

dwarf2/index-write.c casts pointers to "dwarf2_psymtab *", but as far
as I can tell, it does not actually use any DWARF-specific fields of
the psymtab. So, this patch changes this code to use partial_symtab
instead. This removes nearly every cast, leaving just the unavoidable
one from addrmap iteration.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging
resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP.
This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug
files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them.
GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure
option.
This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.

This makes the thread apply command print the thread's name. The use
of target_pid_to_str is replaced by thread_target_id_str, which
provides the same output as "info threads".
Before:
(gdb) thread apply 2 bt
Thread 2 (Thread 0x7fd245602700 (LWP 3837)):
[...]
After:
(gdb) thread apply 2 bt
Thread 2 (Thread 0x7fd245602700 (LWP 3837) "HT cleanup"):
[...]
The thread's description header is pre-computed before running the
command since the command may change the selected inferior. This is
not permitted by thread_target_id_str as target_thread_name asserts
that `info->inf == current_inferior ()`.

kills and removes the inferior as part of a "thread apply" command.

Initially, gdb sets the language to auto/c:
...
$ gdb -q
(gdb) show language
The current source language is "auto; currently c".
...
And after loading a c++ executable, that changes to auto/c++:
...
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) show language
The current source language is "auto; currently c++".
...
Now consider setting the language manually to c:
...
$ gdb -q
(gdb) show language
The current source language is "auto; currently c".
(gdb) set language c
(gdb) show language
The current source language is "c".
...
The resulting language is manual/c.
Surprisingly, a subsequent load of the c++ executable:
...
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) show language
The current source language is "c++".
...
gets us language manual/c++.
Loading the file should get us either:
- auto/c++, or
- manual/c.
That is, either the manual setting should be reset by loading, or the manual
setting should persist.
Fix this in the manual/c fashion. [ Though we could make some gdb setting to
choose one or the other. ]
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

This commit adds support for negative Fortran array strides in one
limited case, that is the case of a single element array with a
negative array stride.
The changes in this commit will be required in order for more general
negative array stride support to work correctly, however, right now
other problems in GDB prevent negative array strides from working in
the general case.
The reason negative array strides don't currently work in the general
case is that when dealing with such arrays, the base address for the
objects data is actually the highest addressed element, subsequent
elements are then accessed with a negative offset from that address,
and GDB is not currently happy with this configuration.
The changes here can be summarised as, stop treating signed values as
unsigned, specifically, the array stride, and offsets calculated using
the array stride.

Consider a test-case compiled with -g:
...
int main (void) {
static int b = 2;
return 0;
}
...
When running info locals in main, we get:
...
(gdb) info locals
No locals.
...
The info locals documentation states:
...
Print the local variables of the selected frame, each on a separate line.
These are all variables (declared either static or automatic) accessible at
the point of execution of the selected frame.
...
So, "info locals" should have printed static variable b.
The variable is present in dwarf info:
...
<2><14a>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_variable)
<14b> DW_AT_name : b
<153> DW_AT_const_value : 2
...
but instead of a location attribute, it has a const_value attribute, which
causes the corresponding symbol to have LOC_CONST, which causes info locals to
skip it.
