It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.
I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.
There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

Currently the code fetches _gdb_expr address/types at multiple places, guessing

Fetch it once, verify it has expected type and then rely on it.
While the patch tries to clean up the code it is still horrible due to the
missing C++ sub-classing.

For a reason unknown to me GDB was using -w instead of -Wall for 'compile code'.
The problem is later patch for 'compile printf' really needs some warnings to
be able to catch for example missing format string parameters:
(gdb) compile printf "%d\n"
GCC does not seem to be able to cancel -w (there is nothing like -no-w).
Besides that I think even 'compile code' can benefit from -Wall.
That #ifndef change in print_one_macro() is needed otherwise we get
macro-redefinition warnings for the GCC built-in macros (as -w is no
longer in effect). For example, without the #ifndef/#endif one gets:
compile -r -- void _gdb_expr(){int i = 5;}^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:4:0: warning: "__FILE__" redefined [-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined]^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:5:0: warning: "__LINE__" redefined^M
...
It makes more sense to pick the inferior's version of the macros, hence
#ifndef instead of #undef.
That new testsuite XFAIL is there as if one changes the struct definition to be
compliant with cv-qualifiers (to prevent the warnings):
struct struct_type {
- struct struct_type *selffield;
+ volatile struct struct_type *selffield;
only then GCC/GDB will hit the crash, described in that GDB PR 18202.

In Ada, index types of arrays can be enumeration types, and enumeration
types can be non-contiguous. In which case the address of elements is
not given by the value of the index, but by its position in the enumeration
type.
In other words, in this example:
type Color is (Blue, Red);
for Color use (Blue => 8, Red => 12, Green => 16);
type A is array (Color) of Integer;
type B is array (1 .. 3) of Integer;
Arrays of type A and B will have the same layout in memory, even if
the enumeration Color has a hole in its set of integer value.
Since recently support for such a feature was in ada-lang.c, where the
array was casted to a regular continuous index range. We were losing
the information of index type. And this was not quite working for
subranges in variable-length fields; their bounds are expressed using
the integer value of the bounds, not its position in the enumeration,
and there was some confusion all over ada-lang.c as to whether we had
the position or the integer value was used for indexes.
The idea behind this patch is to clean this up by keeping the real
representation of these array index types and bounds when representing
the value, and only use the position when accessing the elements or
computing the length. This first patch fixes the printing of such
an array.
To the best of my knowledge, this feature only exists in Ada so it
should only affect this language.

In the case of non bit-packed arrays, GNAT does not generate its

descriptive types such as XA encodings for variable-length
fields.
Note also that there may be an intermediate typedef between the
implementation type and its XA description. It shall be skipped
as well.

The PPC64 buildbot has been showing timeouts in mi-nsmoribund.exp,
like this:
(...)
-thread-info
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp: thread state: all running except the breakpoint thread (timeout)
... and I can reproduce this on gcc110 (PPC64) on the gcc compile
farm.
That is, the test sends "-thread-info" to GDB, but GDB never replies
back.
The problem is that these machines are too fast for gdb. :-)
That test has a few threads running the same tight loop, and
constantly hitting a thread-specific breakpoint that needs to be
stepped over. If threads trip on breakpoints fast enough that
linux-nat.c's event pipe associated with SIGCHLD is constantly being
written to, even if the stdin file descriptor also has an event to
handle, gdb never gets to it. because linux-nat.c's pipe comes first
in the set of descriptors served by the poll/select code in the event
loop.
Fix this by having the event loop serve file event sources in
round-robin-like fashion, similarly to how its done in
gdb_do_one_event.
Unfortunately, the poll and the select variants each need their own
fixing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20 (poll and select variants), and PPC64
Fedora 18. Fixes the timeout in the PPC64 machine in the compile farm
that times out without this, and I won't be surprised if it fixes
other random timeouts in other tests.
(gdbserver's copy of the event-loop doesn't need this (yet), as it
still pushes all ready events to an event queue. That is, it hasn't
had 70b66289 merged yet. We should really merge both event-loop.c
copies into a single shared file, but that's for another day.)

The first kind of error is caused by the embedded struct definition,
so move it out of the parent struct.
The second kind of error is caused by forward declaring a static
global variable, which works in C, but not in C++ (or C with
-fno-common). Make it using extern instead, like done in other
similar cases.

Consider the following declarations:
type Signed_Small is new Integer range - (2 ** 5) .. (2 ** 5 - 1);
type Signed_Simple_Array is array (1 .. 4) of Signed_Small;
pragma Pack (Signed_Simple_Array);
SSA : Signed_Simple_Array := (-1, 2, -3, 4);
GDB currently print its value incorrectly for the elements that
are negative:
(gdb) print ssa
$1 = (65535, 2, 1048573, 4)
(gdb) print ssa(1)
$2 = 65535
(gdb) print ssa(2)
$3 = 2
(gdb) print ssa(3)
$4 = 1048573
(gdb) print ssa(4)
$5 = 4
What happens is that the sign-extension is not working because
we're trying to do left shift with a negative count. In
ada_value_primitive_packed_val, we have a loop which populates
the extra bits of the target (unpacked) value, after extraction
of the data from the original (packed) value:
while (ntarg > 0)
{
accum |= sign << accumSize;
unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
!!! -> accumSize -= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
accum >>= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
ntarg -= 1;
targ += delta;
}
At each iteration, accumSize gets decremented by HOST_CHAR_BIT,
which can easily cause it to become negative, particularly on
little endian targets, where accumSize is at most HOST_CHAR_BIT - 1.
This causes us to perform a left-shift operation with a negative
accumSize at the next loop iteration, which is undefined, and
acutally does not produce the effect we wanted (value left untouched)
when the code is compiled with GCC.
This patch fixes the issue by simply setting accumSize to zero
if negative.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Make sure
accumSize is never negative.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/pckd_neg: New testcase.
This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler. By default,
assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
global branch targets with default visibility. The -mshared option tells
the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can

only affects the handling of branch instructions.

Fix build errors introduced by

didn't account for the change of the name of the struct process_info

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00829.html.

The following patch...
| proc-service, extern "C"
|
| libthread_db.so calls symbols in the client (GDB), through the
| proc-service interface. These routines must have extern "C" linkage
| so their symbol names are not mangled when GDB is built as a C++
| program. On the GDBserver side, we were missing fallback declarations for
| all these symbols.

... added a number of declarations which do not compile when cross-
compiling GDBserver on arm-android. The problem comes from type
prfpregset_t not being declared:
/[...]/gdbserver/gdb_proc_service.h:98:47:
error: unknown type name 'prfpregset_t'
After searching through the includes of the install we have,
I could not find that type being declared anywhere. So I did
the same as for prgregset_t, and created the typedef if the
type isn't declared.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add prfpregset_t BFD_HAVE_SYS_PROCFS_TYPE check.
* configure, config.in: Regenerate.
* gdb_proc_service.h [HAVE_PRFPREGSET_T] (prfpregset_t):
Declare typedef.
The function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() has an old workaround (from 1999)
for buggy terminals and/or ncurses library that don't return page
up/down keys as single characters. Because the workaround is so old, I
think the bug it is targetting is no longer relevant anymore.
But more importantly, the workaround is itself buggy: it 1) performs a
blocking call to wgetch() and 2) if the key returned by wgetch() does
not make up a relevant key sequence it throws away the input instead of
pushing it back via ungetch(). And indeed the workaround breaks Alt-key
sequences under TERM=xterm because of bug #2.
So this patch removes the buggy workaround and tidies up the function
accordingly.
I personally tested this change on a recent xterm (with TERM=xterm) in
Fedora 20 and had no problems with having ncurses properly interpret
page up/down keys. And Alt-key sequences now work when TERM=xterm too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-command.c: Remove include of <ctype.h>.
(tui_dispatch_ctrl_char): Remove workaround for xterm terminals.
elf_xtensa_gc_sweep_hook doesn't correctly unreference symbols that were
made local, that results in link failure with the following message:
BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.24 internal error, aborting at elf32-xtensa.c line
3372 in elf_xtensa_finish_dynamic_sections
elf_xtensa_gc_sweep_hook determines symbol reference type (PLT or GOT) by
relocation type. Relocation types are not changed when symbol becomes
local, but its PLT references are added to GOT references and
plt.refcount is set to 0. Such symbol cannot be unreferences in the
elf_xtensa_gc_sweep_hook and its extra references make calculated GOT
relocations section size not match number of GOT relocations.
Fix it by treating PLT reference as GOT reference when plt.refcount is
not positive.

Later patch needs two independent destructors for the same dummy_frame.

* dummy-frame.c (struct dummy_frame_dtor_list): New.

(find_dummy_frame_dtor): Handle dtor_list.
* dummy-frame.h (register_dummy_frame_dtor, find_dummy_frame_dtor):
Update comments.
There was now a leak-like bug that if dummy_frame "disappeared" by
remove_dummy_frame then its destructor was not called. For example in the case
of 'compile code' dummy frames the injected objfile would never get freed after
some inferior longjmp out of the injected code.

As this change was ported to GDB 7.9.1, the NEWS entry is moved to
a newly-created "Changes in GDB 7.9.1" section, matching the NEWS
file which is going to be distributed with the GDB 7.9.1 release.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Create "Changes in GDB 7.9.1" section. Move news about
Xmethods now being able to specify a result type to that new
section.
