Nowadays, we have one page on "GDB Types" generated by doxygen, but types
and macros referenced in doc are not linked to their definitions. This
patch tweaks the comments a little to use doxygen syntax so that these
types and macros are linked their definitions.
Is it OK?

If lookup_symbol_file tries to locate a member variable with NULL name:
/* A simple lookup failed. Check if the symbol was defined in
a base class. */
cleanup = make_cleanup (null_cleanup, NULL);
/* Find the name of the class and the name of the method,
variable, etc. */
prefix_len = cp_entire_prefix_len (name);
/* If no prefix was found, search "this". */

type = check_typedef (TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (SYMBOL_TYPE (this)));

TYPE_NAME (type) is NULL, so xstrdup (NULL) and boom!
This can happen, e.g., with clang++. See testsuite/gdb.cp/namelessclass.exp
or the bugzilla report.
This patch simply adds a fencepost against this case, allowing the caller
of lookup_symbol_file to search other blocks for the right symbol.
PR c++/16253.
symbol_matches_domain was permitting searches for a VAR_DOMAIN
symbol to also match STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols for languages like C++
where STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols also define a typedef of the same name,
e.g., "struct foo {}" introduces a typedef of the name "foo".
Problems occur if there exists both a VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN
symbol of the same name. Then it is essentially a race between which
symbol is found first. The other symbol is obscurred.
[This is a relatively common idiom: enum e { ... } e;]
This patchset moves this "language defines a typedef" logic to
lookup_symbol[_in_language], looking first for a symbol in the given
domain and falling back to searching STRUCT_DOMAIN when/if appropriate.

This adds support for the C++11 "enum class" feature. This is
PR c++/15246.
I chose to use the existing TYPE_DECLARED_CLASS rather than introduce
a new type code. This seemed both simple and clear to me.
I made overloading support for the new enum types strict. This is how
it works in C++; and it didn't seem like an undue burden to keep this,
particularly because enum constants are printed symbolically by gdb.

Breakpoints are supposed to be transparent to memory accesses. For
all kinds of breakpoints breakpoint_xfer_memory hides the breakpoint
instructions. However, sss breakpoints aren't tracked like all other
breakpoints, and nothing is taking care of hiding them from memory
reads.
Say, as is, a background step + disassemble will see breakpoints
instructions on software step targets. E.g., stepping over this line:
while (1);
with s&
and then "disassemble" would show sss breakpoints.
Actually, that's still not be possible to see today, because:
- in native Linux, you can't read memory while the program
is running.
- with Linux gdbserver, you can, but in the all-stop RSP you
can't talk to the server while the program is running...
- and with non-stop, on software step targets, we presently
force the use of displaced-stepping for all single-steps,
so no single-step breakpoints are used...
I've been working towards making non-stop not force displaced stepping
on sss targets, and I noticed the issue then. With that, I indeed see

This is actually one thing that my v1 of the recent "fix a bunch of
run control bugs" series was fixing, because it made sss breakpoints
be regular breakpoints in the breakpoint chain. But dropped it in the
version that landed in the tree, due to some problems.
So instead of making sss breakpoints regular breakpoints, go with a
simpler fix (at least for now) -- make breakpoint_xfer_memory take
software single-step breakpoints into account. After the patch, I get
the correct disassemble output.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, and also on top of my "use software
single-step on x86" series.
Also fixes the issue pointed out by Yao at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-04/msg00045.html, where the
prologue analysis/frame sniffing manages to see software step
breakpoint instructions.

Due to a thinko, a message could be not understood and ignored. The result
was a dead-lock (gdb is waiting for an event that never happen). The port
of the thread was deallocated before new threads are discovered. As a
consequence, the origin of the message was unknown (instead of being
linked to the newly created thread).
gdb/
* darwin-nat.c (darwin_check_new_threads): Fix port leak, add
comments.
(darwin_decode_exception_message): Free port only after use.
* avr-tdep.c (struct gdbarch_tdep): Mention avrxmega in the comment.
(avr_gdbarch_init): Add xmega architectures given by bfd_architecture
when setting the size of call_length.
gdb.Value.dynamic_type is supposed to work for reference and pointer
values. However, the value object in the function 'valpy_get_dynamic_type'
was being dereferenced using 'value_ind' irrespective of the value type
being TYPE_CODE_PTR or TYPE_CODE_REF. This patch fixes that to use
'coerce_ref' for TYPE_CODE_REF values.
ChangeLog:
* python/py-value.c (valpy_get_dynamic_type): Use coerce_ref to
dereference TYPE_CODE_REF values.
testsuite/
* gdb.python/py-value.c: Improve test case.
* gdb.python/py-value.exp: Add new test.
When a VDSO gets large enough that it doesn't entirely fit in one page,
but not so large that the part described by the program header exceeds
one page, then gdb/BFD doesn't read the section headers and symbol
table information. This patch cures that by passing the size of the
vdso to BFD, and fixes a number of other issues in the BFD code.
bfd/
* elfcode.h (bfd_from_remote_memory): Add "size" parameter.
Consolidate code handling possible section headers past end of

minpagesize. Take note of ld.so clearing section headers when
p_memsz > p_filesz. Handle file header specifying no section
headers. Handle zero p_align throughout. Default loadbase to
zero. Add comments. Rename contents_size to high_offset, and
make it a bfd_vma. Delete unnecessary bfd_set_error calls.

it is possible that gdb gets mach exceptions from an unknown inferior. This
happens when an inferior creates a child and that child gets a signal.
So instead of reporting messages with unknown origins, simply reply to these
notifications. The kernel will then post the unix signal.

Given the following variable...
BT : Bounded := New_Bounded (Low => 1, High => 3);
... where type Bounded is defined as a simple unconstrained array:
type Bounded is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
Creating a varobj for that variable, and immediately asking for
varobj updates, GDB says that our varobj changed types!
(gdb)
-var-create bt * bt
^done,name="bt",numchild="3",value="[3]",type="<ref> array (1 .. 3) of integer",has_more="0"
(gdb)
-var-update 1 *
^done,changelist=[{name="bt",value="[3]",in_scope="true",type_changed="true",new_type="<ref> array (1 .. 3) of integer",new_num_children="3",has_more="0"}]
The expected output for the -var-update command is, in this case:
(gdb)
-var-update 1 *
^done,changelist=[]
The problem occurs because the ada-varobj module does not handle
references, and while the references gets stripped when the varobj
gets created, it doesn't when computing varobj updates.
More specifically, when creating the varobj, varobj_create creates
a new value which is a reference to a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY. It then calls
install_new_value which calls coerce_ref with the following comment:
/* We are not interested in the address of references, and given
that in C++ a reference is not rebindable, it cannot
meaningfully change. So, get hold of the real value. */
if (value)
value = coerce_ref (value);
This leaves the varobj's type component still a ref, while
the varobj's value is now our array, without the ref. This explains
why the "value" field in the varobj indicates an array with 3 elements
"[3]" while the "type" field shows a ref to an array. Generally
speaking, most users have said that showing the ref was a useful
piece of information, so this patch is not touching this part.
Next, when the user issues the -var-update request, varobj_update
calls value_of_root to compute the varobj's new value as well as
determine whether the value's type has changed or not. What happens
in a nutshell is that it calls value_of_root_1 (which re-evaluates
the expression and returns the corresponding new value), finds that
the new value is not NULL, and thus asks whether it has mutated:
else if (varobj_value_has_mutated (var, value, value_type (value)))
This then indirectly delegates the determination to the language-specific
callback, which fails, because it does not handle references.
This patch fixes the issue by adjusting varobj_value_has_mutated to
expect references, and strip them when seen. This allows the various
language-specific implementations to remain unaware of references.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* varobj.c (varobj_value_has_mutated): If NEW_VALUE is
a reference, strip the reference layer before calling
the lang_ops value_has_mutated callback.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_dyn_arr: New testcase.
