If a C-c comes while the Python code for a frame filter is running, it
will be turned into a Python KeyboardException. It seems good for
this to be treated like a GDB quit, so this patch changes
py-framefilter.c to notice this situation and call throw_quit in this
case.

* gdb.python/py-framefilter.exp: Add "bt hide" test.
PR python/16497 notes that using "bt" with a positive argument prints
the wrong number of frames when a frame filter is in use. Also, in this
case, the non-frame-filter path will print a message about "More stack
frames" when there are more; but this is not done in the frame-filter
case.
The first problem is that backtrace_command_1 passes the wrong value
to apply_ext_lang_frame_filter -- that function takes the final
frame's number as an argument, but backtrace_command_1 passes the
count, which is off by one.
The solution to the second problem is to have the C stack-printing
code stop at the correct number of frames and then print the message.
Tested using the buildbot.

Make the MI variable object expression evaluation, with the
-var-evaluate-expression command, recursively call pretty printers, to
match the output of normal expression printing.
Consider the following code:
struct Foo { int val; };
struct Wrapper { Foo foo; };
int main() {
Wrapper w;
w.foo.val = 23;
}
and this pretty printer file:
import gdb.printing
class FooPrinter:
def __init__(self, val):
self.val = val
def to_string(self):
return "Foo" + str(self.val["val"])
class WrapperPrinter:
def __init__(self, val):
self.val = val
def to_string(self):
return self.val["foo"]
test_printer = gdb.printing.RegexpCollectionPrettyPrinter("test")
test_printer.add_printer('Foo', '^Foo$', FooPrinter)
test_printer.add_printer('Wrapper', '^Wrapper$', WrapperPrinter)
gdb.printing.register_pretty_printer(None, test_printer)
Setting a breakpoint at the end of the function, we call the following commands:
-enable-pretty-printing
^done
-var-create var_w @ w
^done,name="var_w",numchild="0",value="{val = 23}",type="Wrapper",dynamic="1",has_more="0"
-var-create var_w_foo @ w.foo
^done,name="var_w_foo",numchild="0",value="Foo23",type="Foo",dynamic="1",has_more="0"
-var-evaluate-expression var_w
^done,value="{val = 23}"
-var-evaluate-expression var_w_foo
^done,value="Foo23"
-data-evaluate-expression w
^done,value="Foo23"
-data-evaluate-expression w.foo
^done,value="Foo23"
So, in the -var-evaluate-expression var_w case, we print the "raw" value
of w.foo, while in the -data-evaluate-expression w case, we print the
pretty printed w.foo value. After this patch, all of the above print
"Foo23".

When creating a varobj with -var-create a user can create either fixed
varobj, or floating varobj.
A fixed varobj will always be evaluated within the thread/frame/block in
which the varobj was created, if that thread/frame/block is no longer
available then the varobj is considered out of scope.
A floating varobj will always be evaluated within the current
thread/frame/block.
Despite never using them GDB was storing the thread/frame/block into a
floating varobj, and the thread-id would then be displayed when GDB
reported on the state of the varobj, this could confuse a user into
thinking that the thread-id was relevant.
This commit prevents GDB storing the thread/frame/block onto floating
varobj, and updates the few tests where this impacts the results.

This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python. It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec. The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).
Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec. Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.
I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test. To be able to test multiple

C++. If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.

As the title says, this is a test case for
Inferior.thread_from_thread_handle, a python method which will,
given a thread library dependent thread handle, find the GDB thread
which corresponds to that thread handle (in the inferior under
consideration).
The C file for this test case causes the thread handles for the
main thread and two child threads to be placed into an array. The
test case runs to one of the functions (do_something()) at which point,
it retrieves the thread handles from the array and attempts to find the
corresponding thread in GDB's internal thread list.
I use barriers to make sure that both threads have actually started;
execution will stop when one of the threads breaks at do_something.
Thanks to Simon Marchi for suggestions for forcing the thread
numbering to be stable.

(Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2017-06/msg00020.html)
Assuming int_t is a typedef to int:
typedef int int_t;
gdb currently loses this expression's typedef:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
$1 = 0
(gdb) whatis $1
type = int
or:
(gdb) whatis (int_t) 0
type = int
or, to get "whatis" out of the way:
(gdb) maint print type (int_t) 0
...
name 'int'
code 0x8 (TYPE_CODE_INT)
...
This prevents a type printer for "int_t" kicking in, with e.g.:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
From the manual, we can see that that "whatis (int_t) 0" command
invocation should have printed "type = int_t":
If @var{arg} is a variable or an expression, @code{whatis} prints its
literal type as it is used in the source code. If the type was
defined using a @code{typedef}, @code{whatis} will @emph{not} print
the data type underlying the @code{typedef}.
(...)
If @var{arg} is a type name that was defined using @code{typedef},
@code{whatis} @dfn{unrolls} only one level of that @code{typedef}.
That one-level stripping is currently done here, in
gdb/eval.c:evaluate_subexp_standard, handling OP_TYPE:
...
else if (noside == EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS)
{
struct type *type = exp->elts[pc + 1].type;
/* If this is a typedef, then find its immediate target. We
use check_typedef to resolve stubs, but we ignore its
result because we do not want to dig past all
typedefs. */
check_typedef (type);
if (TYPE_CODE (type) == TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF)
type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
return allocate_value (type);
}
However, this stripping is reachable in both:
#1 - (gdb) whatis (int_t)0 # ARG is an expression with a cast to
# typedef type.
#2 - (gdb) whatis int_t # ARG is a type name.
while only case #2 should strip the typedef. Removing that code from
evaluate_subexp_standard is part of the fix. Instead, we make the
"whatis" command implementation itself strip one level of typedefs
when the command argument is a type name.
We then run into another problem, also fixed by this commit:
value_cast always drops any typedefs of the destination type.
With all that fixed, "whatis (int_t) 0" now works as expected:
(gdb) whatis int_t
type = int
(gdb) whatis (int_t)0
type = int_t
value_cast has many different exit/convertion paths, for handling many
different kinds of casts/conversions, and most of them had to be
tweaked to construct the value of the right "to" type. The new tests
try to exercise most of it, by trying castin of many different
combinations of types. With:
$ make check TESTS="*/whatis-ptype*.exp */gnu_vector.exp */dfp-test.exp"
... due to combinatorial explosion, the testsuite results for the
tests above alone grow like:
- # of expected passes 246
+ # of expected passes 3811
You'll note that the tests exposed one GCC buglet, filed here:

FAIL: gdb.python/py-unwind.exp: continue to breakpoint: break backtrace-broken
FAIL: gdb.python/py-unwind.exp: Backtrace restored by unwinder (pattern 1)
The problem is that the test expects a very particular stack layout.
When stack protection is enabled, it adds a canary value which looks
like an additional local variable. This makes the test complain about
a bad stack layout and fail.
The simple solution is to disable stack protection for that test using
-fno-stack-protector. I checked older compilers (gcc 4.4, clang 3.5)
and they support that flag, so I don't think it's necessary to probe for
whether the compiler supports it.
Maybe a better solution would be to change the test to make it cope with
different stack layouts (perhaps it could save addresses of stuff in
some global variables which GDB/the unwinder would read). I'll go with
the simple solution for now though.

My last commit fixed a regression that happened when using
inline/multi-line commands for Python/Compile/Guile, but introduced
another regression: it is now not possible to use aliases for the
commands mentioned above. The fix is to almost revert the change I've
made and go back to using the 'struct cmd_list_element *', but at the
same time make sure that we advance the 'cmd_name' variable past all
the whitespace characters after the command name. If, after skipping
the whitespace, we encounter a '\0', it means that the command is not
inline. Otherwise, it is.
This patch also expands the testcase in order to check for aliases and
for trailing whitespace after the command name.

This bug is a regression caused by the following commit:
604c4576fd is the first bad commit
commit 604c4576fd
Author: Jerome Guitton <guitton@adacore.com>
Date: Tue Jan 10 15:15:53 2017 +0100
The problem happens because, on cli/cli-script.c:process_next_line,
GDB is not using the command line string to identify which command to
run, but it instead using the 'struct cmd_list_element *' that is
obtained by using the mentioned string. The problem with that is that
the 'struct cmd_list_element *' doesn't have any information on
whether the command issued by the user is a multi-line or inline one.
A multi-line command is a command that will necessarily be composed of
more than 1 line. For example:
(gdb) if 1
>python
>print ('hello')
>end
>end
As can be seen in the example above, the 'python' command actually
"opens" a new command line (represented by the change in the
indentation) that will then be used to enter Python code. OTOH, an
inline command is a command that is "self-contained" in a single line,
for example:
(gdb) if 1
>python print ('hello')
>end
This Python command is a one-liner, and therefore there is no other
Python code that can be entered for this same block. There is also no
change in the indentation.
So, the fix is somewhat simple: we have to revert the change and use
the full command line string passed to process_next_line in order to
identify whether we're dealing with a multi-line or an inline command.
This commit does just that. As can be seen, this regression also
affects other languages, like guile or the compile framework. To make
things clearer, I decided to create a new helper function responsible
for identifying a non-inline command.
Testcase is attached.

an error for !SEC_LOAD but I haven't investigated that.

This changes the return type of "gdb.BtraceInstruction.data ()" from
"memoryview" to "buffer" on Python 2.7 and below, similar to what
"gdb.Inferior.read_memory ()" does.
This patch adds tests for the initial rvalue reference support patchset. All
of the new tests are practically mirrored regular references tests and, except
for the demangler ones, are introduced in new files, which are set to be
compiled with -std=gnu++11. Tested are printing of rvalue reference types and
values, rvalue reference parameters in function overloading, demangling of
function names containing rvalue reference parameters, casts to rvalue
reference types, application of the sizeof operator to rvalue reference types
and values, and support for rvalue references within the gdb python module.

This adds an event that is emitted just before GDB presents a prompt
to the user. This provides Python code a way to react to whatever
changes might have been made by the previous command. For example, in
my GUI I use this to track changes to the selected frame and reflect
them in the UI.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23.

With my debug build of Python (--with-pydebug), many tests fails because
of the same issue. Python scripts are loaded by the tests using this
pattern:
(gdb) python exec (open ('file.py').read ())
This causes Python to output this warning:
__main__:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name='file.py' mode='r' encoding='ANSI_X3.4-1968'>
and the test to fail because of that extra output. Instead of using the
open + read + exec trick which leaks the file and causes the warning,
why not just source the files?
(gdb) source file.py
This patch changes this, and standardizes the test names of the tests I
touched to "load python file" (some of them were empty, others were
overly complicated).

I noticed gdb.python/python.exp failing on aarch64-elf like so:
FAIL: gdb.python/python.exp: Test decode_line func1 line number
This particular test expects the line number for func1 to be 19, hardcoded.
In my aarch64-elf tests gdb thinks func1 is at line 20, making the test fail.
The following patch addresses this by reading the line number information from
GDB and comparing it against the python decoded symtab information.
