This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function.
It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is
thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any
library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these
functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc
ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is
apparently itself being slowly deprecated.
So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the
autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No
testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

This adds more styling to the disassemble command. In particular,
addresses and function names in the disassembly are now styled.
This required fixing a small latent bug in set_output_style. This
function always passed NULL to emit_style_escape; but when writing to
a file other than gdb_stdout, it should emit the style escape
directly. (FWIW this is another argument for better integrating the
pager with ui_file and getting rid of this entire layer.)

print_source_lines_base reopens the source file every time that a
source line is to be printed. However, there's no need to do this so
frequently -- it's enough to do it when switching source files, and
otherwise rely on the cache.
The code seems to try to avoid these multiple opens; at a guess I'd
say something just got confused along the way.
This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing the code both to make it
more clear, and to ensure that reopens only occur when the "last
source visited" changes.

* source.c (last_source_error): Now bool.
(print_source_lines_base): Make "noprint" bool. Only open
source file when last_source_visited changes.
Currently, gdb stores the number of lines and an array of file offsets
for the start of each line in struct symtab. This patch moves this
information to the source cache. This has two benefits.
First, it allows gdb to read a source file less frequently.
Currently, a source file may be read multiple times: once when
computing the file offsets, once when highlighting, and then pieces
may be read again while printing source lines. With this change, the
file is read once for its source text and file offsets; and then
perhaps read again if it is evicted from the cache.
Second, if multiple symtabs cover the same source file, then this will
share the file offsets between them. I'm not sure whether this
happens in practice.

The source cache was not returning the final \n of the requested range

so this patch pre-emptively fixes the bug.
This adds a self-test of "extract_lines" to the source cache code. To
make it simpler to test, I changed extract_lines to be a static
function, and changed it's API a bit.

Running
make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp"
on my machine results in timeout failures. Running it while having
`tail -F testsuite/gdb.log` on the side shows that the test is never
really blocked, it is just slow at consuming the large output generated
by `-list-thread-groups --available` (which lists all the processes on
the system).
If I increase the timeout to a large value, the test passes in ~30
seconds (compared to under 1 second normally).
Increase the timeout for the particular mi_gdb_test that is long to
execute under read1. The new timeout value is a bit arbitrary. The
default timeout is 10 seconds, so I set the new timeout to be
"old-timeout * 10", so 100 seconds in the typical case.

Currently some code in gdb uses build_help with N_(), like:
static const std::string compile_print_help
= gdb::option::build_help (N_("\
I believe this is incorrect. The N_ macro is used to mark text that
should end up in the message catalog, but which will be translated by
a later call to gettext.
However, in this case, there is no later call to gettext, so (if gdb
had translations), this text would remain untranslated.
Instead, I think using the ordinary _() macro is correct here.
Translators will have to know to preserve "%OPTIONS%" in the text --
but that seems both unavoidable and fine.
Tested by rebuilding as there's not much else to do.

In Ada, it's possible to have nested functions. However,
block.c:contained_in does not recognize this. Normally, this is no
problem, but if gdb is stopped inside a nested function, then you can
end up in the unexpected situation that "print" of an expression will
work, whereas "display" of the same expression will not -- because
contained_in returns 0.
This patch simply removes the BLOCK_FUNCTION check from contained_in.
The rationale here is that in languages without nested functions, this
will not cause any issues.

When examining addresses associated with blocks with non-contiguous
address ranges, it's not uncommon to see large positive offsets which,
for some address width, actually represent a smaller negative offset.
Here's an example taken from the test case (using the
dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold executable):
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo+4294967277>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo+4294967278>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo+4294967281>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo+4294967286>: nop
0x401117 <foo+4294967287>: pop %rbp
This commit, in conjuction with an earlier patch from this series, causes
cases like the above to be displayed like this (below) instead:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo_cold>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo-18>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo-10>: nop
0x401117 <foo-9>: pop %rbp
Note that the address of foo_cold is now (due to another patch) being
displayed as <foo_cold> instead of <foo+BigOffset>. The subsequent
lines are shown as negative offsets from foo.
Disassembly using the "disassemble" command is somewhat affected by
these changes:

There are several things here interacting with environment variable
LD_PRELOAD:
- the expect "binary" build/gdb/testsuite/expect-read1 with does
export LD_PRELOAD=build/gdb/testsuite/read1.so before calling native expect
- read1.so which does unsetenv ("LD_PRELOAD") upon first call to read
- the test-case, which wants to set or append libSegFault.so to LD_PRELOAD
The error occurs when accessing $env(LD_PRELOAD), in a branch where
"info exists env(LD_PRELOAD)" returns true. AFAIU, this is
https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/tktview?name=67fd4f973a "incorrect results of
'info exists' when unset env var in one interp and check for existence from
another interp".
Work around the tcl bug by not unsetting the variable, but setting it to ""
instead:
...
- unsetenv ("LD_PRELOAD");
+ setenv ("LD_PRELOAD", "", 1);

...
Running gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dump.exp ...

The FAIL happens because although the test specifies nopie, the exec is
in fact compiled as PIE. The "-fPIE -pie" options specified using the
target_board are interpreted by dejagnu as multilib_flags, and end up
overriding the nopie flags.
Fix this by checking in gdb_compile if the resulting exec is PIE despite of
a nopie setting, and if so return an error:

Exactly which escape sequences are emitted by gdb in TUI mode are
determined largely by the curses implementation. Testing my latest
(as yet unsubmitted) series to refactor the TUI showed a couple of
failures that I tracked to the test suite's terminal implementation.
In particular, the CSI "@" sequence was not implemented; and the CSI
"X" sequence was implemented incorrectly.
This patch fixes both of these problems. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28.

* gdb.python/py-framefilter-invalidarg.exp: Update to new print_what
default.
New settings allow to better control what frame information is printed.
'set print frame-info' allows to override the default frame information
printed when a GDB command prints a frame.
The backtrace command has a new option -frame-info to override
this global setting.
It is now possible to have very short frame information by using the
new 'set print frame-arguments presence' and
'set print frame-info short-location'.
Combined with 'set print address off', a backtrace will only show
the essential information to see the function call chain, e.g.:
(gdb) set print address off
(gdb) set print frame-arguments presence
(gdb) set print frame-info short-location
(gdb) bt
#0 break_me ()
#1 call_me (...)
#2 main ()
(gdb)
This is handy in particular for big backtraces with functions having
many arguments.
Python frame filter printing logic has been updated to respect the new
setting in non MI mode.
Also, the default frame information printed was inconsistent when
backtrace was printing the frame information itself, or when the python
frame filtering code was printing the frame information.
This patch changes the default of python frame filtering to have a
consistent behaviour regarding printed frame-information, whatever
the presence/activity/matches of python filters.

gdb_test_multiple "" $tst {
"break \\\x07" {
send_gdb "\t\t"
gdb_test_multiple "" $tst {

but the following gdb_test_multiple only parses it once, so the second
completion is left for clear_input_line, which fails.
Fix this by triggering completion only once.

-re "Python Exception (exceptions.RuntimeError|<(type 'exceptions.|class ')RuntimeError'>) Python excepti

}
}
...
specifies a regexp that ends with ".*" but doesn't specify the expected
$gdb_prompt.
Consequently, due to check-read1, the ".*" is matched to "" and the remaining
$gdb_prompt is read by the the following gdb_py_test_silent_cmd, which has
its own $gdb_prompt read by the following gdb_py_test_silent_cmd, which has
its own $gdb_prompt causing a mismatch for the following gdb_test_multiple:
...
gdb_test_multiple "python gdb.prompt_hook = error_prompt" "set the hook" {
-re "Traceback.*File.*line.*RuntimeError.*Python exception called.*" {
pass "set hook"
}
}
...
which causes both FAILs.
The second gdb_test_multiple has the same problem as the first, but it happens
not to cause a FAIL because it's followed by a gdb_py_test_silent_cmd and a
clean_restart.
Fix the regexps in both gdb_test_multiple calls.

The FAILs happen as follows.
On one hand, skip_python_tests_prompt uses the prompt_regexp parameter for the
user_code argument of gdb_test_multiple:
...
proc skip_python_tests_prompt { prompt_regexp } {
global gdb_py_is_py3k
gdb_test_multiple "python print ('test')" "verify python support" {
-re "not supported.*$prompt_regexp" {
unsupported "Python support is disabled."
return 1
}
-re "$prompt_regexp" {}
}
gdb_test_multiple "python print (sys.version_info\[0\])" "check if python 3" {
-re "3.*$prompt_regexp" {
set gdb_py_is_py3k 1
}
-re ".*$prompt_regexp" {
set gdb_py_is_py3k 0
}
}
...
On the other hand, gdb_test_multiple itself uses $gdb_prompt:
...
-re "\r\n$gdb_prompt $" {
if ![string match "" $message] then {
fail "$message"
}
set result 1
}
...
So when mi_skip_python_test calls skip_python_tests_prompt with prompt_regexp
set to $mi_gdb_prompt:
...
proc mi_skip_python_tests {} {
global mi_gdb_prompt
return [skip_python_tests_prompt "$mi_gdb_prompt$"]
}
...
and expect reads "(gdb) " and tries to match it (due to the READ1=1 setting),
the user_code regexps using $prompt_regexp (set to $mi_gdb_prompt) don't match,
but the $gdb_prompt regexp in gdb_test_multiple does match.
Fix this by adding a prompt_regexp parameter to gdb_test_multiple, and using the
parameter in skip_python_tests_prompt.
Tested gdb.python/py-mi-events.exp with make check READ1=1 x86_64-linux.
