On GNU/Linux, if an infcall spawns a thread, that thread ends up with
stuck running state. This happens because:
- when linux-nat.c detects a new thread, it marks them as running,
and does not report anything to the core.
- we skip finish_thread_state when the thread that is running the
infcall stops.
As result, that new thread ends up with stuck "running" state, even
though it really is stopped.
On Windows, _all_ threads end up stuck in running state, not just the
one that was spawned. That happens because when a new thread is
detected, unlike linux-nat.c, windows-nat.c reports
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS to infrun. It's the fact that that event
does not cause a user-visible stop that triggers the problem. When
the target is re-resumed, we call set_running with a wildcard ptid,
which marks all thread as running. That set_running is not suppressed
because the (leader) thread being resumed does not have in_infcall
set. Later, when the infcall finally finishes successfully, nothing
marks all threads back to stopped.
We can trigger the same problem on all targets by having a thread
other than the one that is running the infcall report a breakpoint hit
to infrun, and then have that breakpoint not cause a stop. That's
what the included test does.
The fix is to stop GDB from suppressing the set_running calls while
doing an infcall, and then set the threads back to stopped when the
call finishes, iff they were originally stopped before the infcall
started. (Note the MI *running/*stopped event suppression isn't
affected.)
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Last year a patch was submitted/approved/commited to eliminate
symbol_matches_domain which was causing this problem. It was later reverted
because it introduced a (severe) performance regression.
Recap:
(gdb) list
1 enum e {A,B,C} e;
2 int main (void) { return 0; }
3
(gdb) p e
Attempt to use a type name as an expression
The parser attempts to find a symbol named "e" of VAR_DOMAIN.
This gets passed down through lookup_symbol and (eventually) into
block_lookup_symbol_primary, which iterates over the block's dictionary
of symbols:
for (sym = dict_iter_name_first (block->dict, name, &dict_iter);
sym != NULL;
sym = dict_iter_name_next (name, &dict_iter))
{
if (symbol_matches_domain (SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym),
SYMBOL_DOMAIN (sym), domain))
return sym;
}
The problem here is that we have a symbol named "e" in both STRUCT_DOMAIN
and VAR_DOMAIN, and for languages like C++, Java, and Ada, where a tag name
may be used as an implicit typedef of the type, symbol_matches_domain ignores
the difference between VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN. As it happens, the
STRUCT_DOMAIN symbol is found first, considered a match, and that symbol is
returned to the parser, eliciting the (now dreaded) error message.
Since this bug exists specifically because we have both STRUCT and VAR_DOMAIN
symbols in a given block/CU, this patch rather simply/naively changes
block_lookup_symbol_primary so that it continues to search for an exact
domain match on the symbol if symbol_matches_domain returns a symbol
which does not exactly match the requested domain.
This "fixes" the immediate problem, but admittedly might uncover other,
related bugs. [Paranoia?] However, it causes no regressions (functional
or performance) in the test suite. A similar change has been made
to block_lookup_symbol for other cases in which this bug might appear.
The tests from the previous submission have been resurrected and updated.
However since we can still be given a matching symbol with a different domain
than requested, we cannot say that a symbol "was not found." The error
messages today will still be the (dreaded) "Attempt to use a type name..."

This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which
controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default).
The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of
basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These
common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when
the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the
history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient.
The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to
look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one.
"history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option,
and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's
erasedups option.
[ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum
because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than
leave/erase/ignore. ]

The implementation is pretty straightforward, with the only caveat being
that the "src", "cmd", "next" and "prev" entries get delibrately added
to the completion list even when the TUI has not yet been initialized

* gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp: Test the interaction between

When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment

history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent
with the behavior of bash.
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.

The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by
shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export
HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects
shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for
setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when
HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g.
PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it
may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at
once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment
variables with application environment variables.

We still do not handle "set history size unlimited" correctly. In
particular, after writing to the history file, we truncate the history

This patch makes sure that we do not call history_truncate_file() if the
history is not stifled (i.e. if it's unlimited). This bug causes the
history file to be truncated to zero on exit when one has "set history
size unlimited" in their gdbinit file. Although this code exists in GDB
7.8, the bug is masked by a pre-existing bug that's been only fixed in

So far the gnu_vector test was limited to "static" aspects of GDB's
vector support, like evaluating vector-valued expressions. This patch
enriches the test and adds checks for GDB's vector ABI support as well.
The new checks particularly verify inferior function calls with vector
arguments and GDB's handling of vector return values.
The test now attempts to compile for the target's "native" architecture,
such that a hardware vector ABI is used if available.
Since GDB has no vector ABI support for x86 and x86_64 targets, most of
the new checks are KFAILed there.

This promotes BFD's struct elf_build_id to the generic struct bfd_build_id,
populated when an ELF or PE BFD is read.
gdb is updated to use that, and to use the build-id to find symbols for PE files
also.
There is currently no generic way to extract the build-id from an object file,
perhaps an option to objdump to do this might make sense?

Currently inferior memory is allocated by inferior mmap() but it is never
deallocated; despite the injected objfile incl. its symbols is freed. This was
intentional so that one can do for example:
inferior:
char *str = "foo";
GDB:
(gdb) compile code str = "bar";
I believe later patches will be needed to introduce full control over keeping
vs. discarding the injected module as being discussed in:
compile: objfiles lifetime UI
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00051.html
Message-ID: <20150429135735.GA16974@host1.jankratochvil.net>
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-05/msg00007.html
As decided by Phil it is better not to leak inferior pages as users can
workaround the issue above for example by:
(gdb) compile code str = strdup ("bar");
I have checked that in fact gdb/doc/ (written by Phil) already expects the
injected code will be unmapped so that does not need to be changed:
compile code int ff = 5; p = &ff;
In this example, @code{p} would point to @code{ff} when the
@code{compile} command is executing the source code provided to it.
However, as variables in the (example) program persist with their
assigned values, the variable @code{p} would point to an invalid
location when the command exists.

I sent a patch in 2013 for this (incorrectly named =thread-created):
https://cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00129.html
Tom Tromey was ok with the change, but suggested to add a test as well.
Then I forgot about this patch until today. So here it is again, with the
corresponding test.
The problem is that the =thread-exited event does not appear when detaching
from a local process. It does appear with remote though. It's not a really
big deal, but I'd like it to be consistent.
Tested with local and remote Linux on my Ubuntu 14.04.

Initially there is some chain (let's say the longest one
but that doe snot matter). Consequently its elements from the middle are
being removed and there remains only some few unambiguous top and bottom ones.
The original idea why the comparison should be sharp ("<") was that if there
are multiple chains like (0xaddr show jmp instruction address):
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
then - such situation cannot exist - if two jmp instructions in "a" have the
same address they must also jump to the same address (*).
(*) jump to a computed address would be never considered for the DWARF
tail-call records.
So there could be:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x270) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
But then "a" frame itself is ambiguous and it must not be displayed.
I did not realize that there can be self-tail-call:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x280) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
which intersects to:
main(0x100) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And so if the first chain was chosen the
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
then the final intersection has callers+callees==length.
> for example, if CALLERS is 3 and
> CALLEES is 2, what does the chain look like?
main(0x100) -> x(0x150) -> y(0x200) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And if LENGTH is 7 then:
call_site[0] = main(0x100)
call_site[1] = x(0x150)
call_site[2] = y(0x200)
call_site[3] = garbage
call_site[4] = garbage
call_site[5] = a(0x200)
call_site[6] = d(0x400)

This patch adds a test case to test the process record for some of
aarch64 instructions.
In each function, GDB turns on process record, and single step until
program goes to the end of the function. Then, single step backward.
In each of forward single step and backward single step, the contents
of registers are saved, and test compares them. If there is any
differences, a FAIL is emitted.
The test is flexible, and we can test other instructions easily in the
future.

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.

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.

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.

This patch is a comprehensive fix for PR 17820 which reports that
using "set history size unlimited" inside one's gdbinit file doesn't
really work.
There are three small changes in this patch. The most important change
this patch makes is to decode the argument of the "size" subcommand
using add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd() instead of using
add_setshow_uinteger_cmd(). The new decoder takes an int * and maps
unlimited to -1 whereas the old decoder takes an unsigned int * and maps
unlimited to UINT_MAX. Using the new decoder simplifies our handling of
unlimited and makes it easier to interface with readline which itself
expects a signed-int history size.
The second change is the factoring of the [stifle|unstifle]_history logic
into a common function which is now used by both init_history() and
set_history_size_command(). This is technically the change that fixes
the PR itself.
Thirdly, this patch initializes history_size_setshow_var to -2 to mean
that the variable has not been set yet. Now init_history() tests for -2
instead of 0 to determine whether to give the variable a default value.
This means that having "set history size 0" in one's gdbinit file will
actually keep the history size at 0 and not reset it to 256.

In my last commit to make gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp be more robust
regarding using arrays in the global namespace, I cleared the
"coredump_var_addr" array like this:
set coredump_var_addr ""
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
This causes DejaGNU to complain because the variable is first set as
non-array, and the used as an array. The correct way to do this is to
unset the variable using:
unset -nocomplain coredump_var_addr
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
The "-nocomplain" part is necessary because if the variable doesn't
exist "unset" will not error.

Hi,
We see some fails in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp when we do remote
gdbserver testing, like what I did for arm/aarch64 linux testing or
run it with board file remote-gdbserver-on-localhost
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost coredump-filter.exp'
we find that this line in the test doesn't work as expected,
remote_exec target "sh -c \"echo $filter_flag > /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter\""
although such pattern has been used in gdb testsuite somewhere else,
but the special thing here is that we redirect the output to
/proc/$ipid/coredump_filter on the remote target. DejaGNU will
redirect the output from the remote target to local, and looks tcl
gets confused by these two redirection.
After trying pass different parameters to remote_exec and hacking
remote_exec/rsh_exec/local_exec, I got no success, I decide
to give up, and try to update /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter by the c
code directly.
This patch adds a c function set_coredump_filter to update

This patch improves the handling of out-of-line functions nested
inside functions that have been inlined.
Consider for instance a situation where function Foo_O224_021
has a function Child1 declared in it, which itself has a function
Child2 nested inside Child1. After compiling the program with
optimization on, Child1 gets inlined, but not Child2.
After inserting a breakpoint on Child2, and running the program
until reaching that breakpoint, we get the following backtrace:
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) break foo_o224_021.child1.child2
(gdb) run
[...]
Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
28 Child1;
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000000000402400 in foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
#1 0x00000000004027a4 in foo_o224_021.child1 () at foo_o224_021.adb:23
#2 0x00000000004027a4 in foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
GDB reports the wrong function name for frame #0. We also get the same
kind of error in the "Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021 () [...]" message.
In both cases, the function name should be foo_o224_021.child1.child2,
and the parameters should be "s=...".
What happens is that the inlined frame handling does not handle well
the case where an inlined function is calling an out-of-line function
which was declared inside the inlined function's scope.
In particular, looking first at the inlined-frame sniffer when applying
to frame #0:
/* Calculate DEPTH, the number of inlined functions at this
location. */
depth = 0;
cur_block = frame_block;
while (BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block))
{
if (block_inlined_p (cur_block))
depth++;
cur_block = BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block);
}
What happens is that cur_block starts as the block associated
to child2, which is not inlined. We shoud be stopping here, but
instead, we keep walking the superblock chain, which takes us
all the way to Foo_O224_021's block, via Child2's block. And
since Child1 was inlined, we end up with a depth count of 1,
wrongly making GDB think that frame #0 is an inlined frame.
Same kind of issue inside skip_inline_frames.
The fix is to stop checking for inlined frames as soon as we see
a block corresponding to a function which is not inlined. This is
the behavior we now obtain:
(gdb) run
[...]
Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021.child1.child2 (s=...) at foo_o224_021.adb:9
9 function Child2 (S : String) return Boolean is

#2 0x00000000004027a4 in foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
gdb/ChangeLog:
* inline-frame.c (inline_frame_sniffer, skip_inline_frames):
Stop counting inlined frames as soon as an out-of-line function
is found.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/out_of_line_in_inlined.exp: Add run and "bt" tests.
Consider the following code, which defines a function, Child2,
which is itself nested inside Child1:
procedure Foo_O224_021 is
O1 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
procedure Child1 is
O2 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
function Child2 (S : String) return Boolean is -- STOP
begin
for C of S loop
Do_Nothing (C);
if C = 'o' then
return True;
end if;
end loop;
return False;
end Child2;
R : Boolean;
begin
R := Child2 ("Foo");
R := Child2 ("Bar");
R := Child2 ("Foobar");
end Child1;
begin
Child1;
end Foo_O224_021;
On x86_64-linux, when compiled at -O2, GDB is unable to insert
a breakpoint on Child2:
% gnatmake -g -O2 foo_o224_021
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) b child2
Function "child2" not defined.
(gdb) b foo_o224_021.child1.child2
Function "foo_o224_021.child1.child2" not defined.
The problem is caused by the fact that GDB did not create a symbol
for Child2, and this, in turn, is caused by the fact that the compiler
decided to inline Child1, but not Child2. The DWARF debugging info
first provides an abstract instance tree for Child1...
<3><1b7b>: Abbrev Number: 29 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x23f8): foo_o224_021__child1
<1b82> DW_AT_inline : 1 (inlined)
<1b83> DW_AT_sibling : <0x1c01>
... where that subprogram is given the DW_AT_inline attribute.
Inside that function there is a lexical block which has no PC
range (corresponding to the fact that this is the abstract tree):
<4><1b87>: Abbrev Number: 30 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
... inside which our subprogram Child2 is described:
<5><1b92>: Abbrev Number: 32 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b93> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2452): foo_o224_021__child1__child2
<1b99> DW_AT_type : <0x1ab1>
<1b9d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x402300
<1ba5> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x57
[...]
Then, later on, we get the concrete instance tree, starting at:
<3><1c5e>: Abbrev Number: 41 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<1c5f> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b7b>
<1c63> DW_AT_entry_pc : 0x4025fd
<1c6b> DW_AT_ranges : 0x150
... which refers to Child1. One of that inlined subroutine children
is the concrete instance of the empty lexical block we saw above
(in the abstract instance tree), which gives the actual address
range for this inlined instance:
<5><1c7a>: Abbrev Number: 43 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
<1c7b> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b87>
<1c7f> DW_AT_ranges : 0x180
This is the DIE which provides the context inside which we can
record Child2. But unfortunately, GDB does not take the abstract
origin into account when handling lexical blocks, causing it
to miss the fact that this block contains some symbols described
in the abstract instance tree. This is the first half of this patch:
modifying GDB to follow DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes for
lexical blocks.
But this not enough to fix the issue, as we're still unable to
break on Child2 with just that change. The second issue can be
traced to the way inherit_abstract_dies determines the list of
DIEs to inherit from. For that, it iterates over all the DIEs in
the concrete instance tree, and finds the list of DIEs from the
abstract instance tree that are not referenced from the concrete
instance tree. As it happens, there is one type of DIE in the
concrete instance tree which does reference Child2's DIE, but
in fact does otherwise define a concrete instance of the reference
DIE; that's (where <0x1b92> is Child2's DIE):
<6><1d3c>: Abbrev Number: 35 (DW_TAG_GNU_call_site)
<1d3d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4026a4
<1d45> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b92>
So, the second part of the patch is to modify inherit_abstract_dies
to ignore DW_TAG_GNU_call_site DIEs when iterating over the concrete
instance tree.
This patch also includes a testcase which can be used to reproduce
the issue. Unfortunately, for it to actually pass, a smal patch in
GCC is also necessary to make sure that GCC provides lexical blocks'
DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes from the concrete tree back to
the abstract tree. We hope to be able to submit and integrate that
patch in the GCC tree soon. Meanwhile, a setup_xfail has been added.

Hi,
I see this fails below on arm linux native testing and remote testing
with "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1",
rwatch global^M
There are not enough available hardware resources for this watchpoint.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp: always-inserted off: rwatch: twice: rwatch global
gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp sets two breakpoints/watchpoints on the
same address. GDB isn't smart enough calculate these two HW
watchpoints can fit in one HW debug register, so the error message
above isn't necessary (there is one HW watchpoint register on arm).
Because target_ops interface can_use_hardware_watchpoint doesn't
pass enough information to the target backend.
Note that if I don't "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1" in
remote testing, this test passes without fails. However without
"set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1", many other watchpoint
tests fail.
This patch is to add a check to skip_hw_watchpoint_multi_tests
for rwatch and awatch. We can add such check for watch as well,
but GDB is able to switch to software watchpoint if HW resource
isn't available, it doesn't cause any fail, I decide not to skip.

Note that the program stops in __syscall_pause, but its symbol is
stripped in glibc, so GDB doesn't know where the program stops.
__syscall_pause is a tail call in __libc_pause, so it returns to main
instead of __libc_pause. As a result, the backtrace is like,

looks GDB does nothing wrong here. I looked back at the test case
gdb.base/relativedebug.exp, which was added
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-10/msg00305.html
This test was indented to test the problem that "backtraces no longer
display some libc functions" after separate debug info is installed.
IOW, it makes few sense to test against libc which doesn't have debug
info at all, such as my case.
This patch is to tweak the test case to catch the output of
"info shared", if "(*)" is found for libc.so, which means libc doesn't
have debug info, then skip the test.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-04-30 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/relativedebug.exp: Invoke gdb command
"info sharedlibrary", and if libc.so doesn't have debug info,
skip the test.
There are targets GDB thinks support hardware watchpoints, but in reality they
don't. Though it may seem that hardware watchpoint creation was successful,
the actual insertion of such watchpoint will fail when GDB moves the inferior.

Consider the following declarations:
type Int_Access is access Integer;
type Record_Type is record
IA : Int_Access;
end record;
R : Record_Type;
Printing the type name of "R.IA" yields:
(gdb) whatis r.ia
type = access integer
It should be:
(gdb) whatis r.ia
type = bar.int_access
Looking at the debugging info, field "r.ia" is defined as
a typedef which has the name of the field type:
.uleb128 0x3 # (DIE (0x4e) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "bar__int_access"
.long 0x8b # DW_AT_type
... with the typedef's target type being an anonymous pointer
type:
.uleb128 0x7 # (DIE (0x8b) DW_TAG_pointer_type)
.byte 0x8 # DW_AT_byte_size
.long 0x91 # DW_AT_type
What happens here is that a couple of function in ada-lang.c
always start by stripping all typedef layers when handling
struct fields, with the effect of making us lose the type name
in this case.
We did not understand this at the time the code was written,
but typedefs should be stripped only when we know we do not
need them. So this patch, adjust the code to avoid the stripping
while handling the fields, and adds it back in the lone place
which handles the result of processing and didn't know how to
handle typedefs struct fields yet.

Rename variable "addr" to "coredump_var_addr" in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp
Pedro pointed out that this fix was not complete, because the
testsuite could be run several times in a row (for example), which
means that it is not enough to just make the variable name unique: it
also needs to be cleared out if it is global.
This commit does that. It is actually just a commit made to make
things totally correct; this specific test does not fail if you run it
several times in a row.

Currently, against gdbserver, interrupt.exp occasionaly fails like
this:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
The problem is that we see gdbserver exiting before we match gdb's
output:
expect: does "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n" (spawn_id exp8) match regular expression "end of file"? Gate "end of file"? gate=no
expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp8"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n"
Fix this by removing $inferior_spawn_id from the set of spawn ids
expect is watching as soon as we see the "end of file" string out of
the inferior spawn id, using an indirect spawn id list.

$inferior_spawn_id instead of $inferior_spawn_id directly. On
"end of file", remove $inferior_spawn_id from the indirect list.
To avoid confusion between "end of file" string matching and eof
matching, as in process exit.

* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Rename saw_eof to saw_end_of_file.
Since silent handling of eof is usually the wrong thing to do, this
patch makes gdb_test_multiple handle it for all $any_spawn_id.
Currently, against gdbserver, interrupt.exp occasionaly fails like
this:
FAIL: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
gdb.log with expect debug output enabled shows:
expect: does "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n" (spawn_id exp8) match regular expression "end of file"? Gate "end of file"? gate=no
expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp8"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n"
FAIL: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
Note "expect: read eof" for spawn_id=exp8. exp8 is
inferior_spawn_id/gdbserver_spawn_id. That means
expect/gdb_test_multiple saw gdbserver exit before we got the expected
gdb output. Since there's no explicit pattern for "eof", expect (and
thus gdb_test_multiple) just returns.
After this commit, we get instead:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
Note that before we still got an FAIL because $saw_inferior_exit is 0
when we get to:
gdb_assert { $saw_eof && $saw_inferior_exit } $msg
Fixing the fail (now unresolved) will be the subject of a separate
patch.

Problem reported as PR pascal/17815
Part 1/3: Remember the case pattern that allowed finding a field of this.
File gdb/p-exp.y modified
This is the fix in the pascal parser (p-exp.y),
to avoid the error that GDB does find normal variables
case insensitively, but not fields of this,
inside a class or object method.
Part 2/3: Add "class" option for pascal compiler
File gdb/testsuite/lib/pascal.exp
This part of the patch series is unchanged.
It adds class option to pascal compiler
which adds the required command line option to
accept pascal class types.
Part 3/3:
New file: gdb/testsuite/gdb.pascal/case-insensitive-symbols.exp
New file: gdb/testsuite/gdb.pascal/case-insensitive-symbols.pas
Here is an updated version of this test, using Pedro's suggestions.
Test to check that PR 17815 is fixed.
This commit fixes three gdb.base/attach.exp failures when using
extended remote targets. The failures occurred because GDB now
locates and loads files when attaching on remote targets if the
remote target supports qXfer:exec-file:read; the filenames were
shown but with "target:" prefixes which the test has been updated
to handle.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/attach.exp: Fix three extended remote failures.
This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument
try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt
to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main
executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately.
With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a
"target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot"
or "file" commands are required, e.g.
bash$ gdb -q
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166
stdin/stdout redirected
Remote debugging using stdio
Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash...
One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test
checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main
executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main
executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit
this new behavior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec.
If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as
the main executable if no main executable is open already.
All callers updated.
* NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and
retrieval of executable + files from remote targets.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Connecting to a Remote Target): Mention that
GDB can access program files from remote targets that support
qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing
the main executable over the remote protocol.

These tests do something like this:
#0 - start gdb/gdbserver normally
#1 - setup some things in the debug session
#2 - disconnect from gdbserver
#3 - restart gdb
#4 - reconnect to gdbserver
The problem is that the native-extended-gdbserver board always spawns
a new gdbserver instance in #3 (and has gdb connect to that). So when
the test gets to #4, it connects to that new instance instead of the
old one:
(gdb) spawn ../gdbserver/gdbserver --multi :2354

Commit 6423214f (testsuite: Don't use expect_background to reap

The test case s390-vregs.exp yields compile errors on 31-bit targets
as well as when using a GCC that defaults to an older "-march=". This
patch fixes these issues.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/s390-vregs.S (change_vrs): Replace exrl by an
appropriate .insn, such that an older assembler can be used.
* gdb.arch/s390-vregs.exp: Add the compile flag -mzarch, to enable
the z/Architecture instruction set on 31-bit targets as well.
On s390x targets some of the Go test cases fail because the first
breakpoint happens to be at the same spot as the breakpoint at
main.main. When such a test case tries to continue to the first
breakpoint, the program runs until the end instead, and the test fails
like this:
FAIL: gdb.go/handcall.exp: Going to first breakpoint (the program exited)
This patch removes all the handling related to the first breakpoint in
those cases. After applying the patch, the tests run successfully on
s390x.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.go/handcall.exp: Remove all logic related to the first
breakpoint and rely on go_runto_main instead.
* gdb.go/strings.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.go/unsafe.exp: Likewise.

I see many fails in gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp on arm-linux target,
started from this
print foo.three_ptr.all^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x107c8^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp: print foo.three_ptr.all
print foo.three_ptr.all(1)^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x107c8
It turns out that ":$ptr_size" is used incorrectly.
array_ptr_label: DW_TAG_pointer_type {
{DW_AT_byte_size :$ptr_size }
^^^^^^^^^^
{DW_AT_type :$array_label}
}
Since the FORM isn't given, and it starts with the ":", it is regarded
as a label reference by dwarf assembler. The generated asm file on
x86_64 is
.uleb128 6 /* Abbrev (DW_TAG_pointer_type) */
.4byte 8 - .Lcu1_begin <----- WRONG
.4byte .Llabel2 - .Lcu1_begin
Looks .Lcu1_begin is 0 on x86_64 and that is why this test passes on
x86_64. On arm, .Lcu1_begin is an address somewhere, and the value
of DW_AT_byte_size is a very large number, so memory read request
of such large length failed.
This patch is to remove ":" and set the form explicitly. The generated
asm file on x86_64 becomes
.uleb128 6 /* Abbrev (DW_TAG_pointer_type) */
.byte 8
.4byte .Llabel2 - .Lcu1_begin

I see the following two timeout fails on pandaboard (arm-linux target),
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: -location watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: regular watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
In this test, more than one watchpoint is used, so the following
watchpoint requests fall back to software watchpoint, so that GDB
will single step all the way and it is very slow.
This patch is to copy the fix from

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00716.html

The following patch prevents a number of failures by detecting this and bailing out in case the target has such a restriction. Writing to .text from within the program isn't any better. It just leads to a SIGSEGV.

* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp (test): Handle the case of being unable
to write to the .text section.
This testcase seems to assume the target is running Linux, so bare metal,
simulators and other debugging stubs running different OS' will have a
hard time executing some of the commands the testcase issues.
Even restricting the testcase to Linux systems (which the patch below does),
there are still problems with, say, QEMU not providing PID information when
"info inferior" is issued. As a consequence, the subsequent tests will either
fail or will not make much sense.
The attached patch checks if PID information is available. If not, it just
bails out and avoids running into a number of failures.

In gdb-sigterm.exp, SIGTERM is sent to GDB and it exits. However,
Dejagnu or tcl doesn't know this.
This patch is to catch the exception, but error messages are still
shown in the console and gdb.log. In order to avoid this, we also
replace gdb_expect with expect.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-04-13 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdb_exit): Catch exception
and use expect instead of gdb_expect.
This commit renames the global array variable "addr" to an unique name
"coredump_var_addr" in the test gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp. This is
needed because global arrays can have name conflicts between tests.
For example, this specific test was conflicting with dmsym.exp,
causing errors like:
ERROR: tcl error sourcing ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dmsym.exp.
ERROR: can't set "addr": variable is array

Hi,
ARM linux kernel has some requirements on the address/length setting
for HW breakpoints/watchpoints, but watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp doesn't
consider them and sets HW points on various addresses. Many fails
are causes as a result:
stepi^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 20.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted off: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: stepi advanced

^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted on: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2
This patch is to reflect kernel requirements in watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp
in order to skip some tests.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-04-10 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp (valid_addr_p): Return
false for some offset and width combinations which aren't
supported by linux kernel.
These tests exercise the infrun.c:proceed code that needs to know to
start new step overs (along with switch_back_to_stepped_thread, etc.).
That code is tricky to get right in the multitude of possible
combinations (at least):
(native | remote)
X (all-stop | all-stop-but-target-always-in-non-stop)
X (displaced-stepping | in-line step-over).
The first two above are properties of the target, but the different
step-over-breakpoint methods should work with any target that supports
them. This patch makes sure we always test both methods on all
targets.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.threads/step-over-lands-on-breakpoint.exp (do_test): New

49 return 1; /* in wait_threads */
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: step
The problem is that the test assumes that both the "watch_me = 1;" and
the "other = 1;" lines compile to a single instruction each, which
happens to be true on x86, but no necessarily true everywhere else.
The result is that the test doesn't really test what it wants to test.
Fix it by looking for the instruction that triggers the watchpoint.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-04-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.c (child_function):
Remove comment.
* gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp (do_test): Find
both the address of the instruction that triggers the watchpoint
and the address of the instruction immediately after, and use
those addresses for the test. Fix comment.
TL;DR:
When stepping over a breakpoint with displaced stepping, the core must
be notified of all signals, otherwise the displaced step fixup code
confuses a breakpoint trap in the signal handler for the expected trap
indicating the displaced instruction was single-stepped
normally/successfully.
Detailed version:
Running sigstep.exp with displaced stepping on, against my x86
software single-step branch, I got:
FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: step on breakpoint, to handler: performing step
FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: next on breakpoint, to handler: performing next

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: displaced=on: step on breakpoint, to handler: performing step
What should have happened is that the breakpoint hit in the signal
handler should have been presented to the user. But note that
"preempt 'handle'" -- what happened instead is that
displaced_step_fixup confused the breakpoint in the signal handler for
the expected SIGTRAP indicating the displaced instruction was
single-stepped normally/successfully.
This should be affecting all software single-step targets in the same
way.
The fix is to make sure the core sees all signals when displaced
stepping, just like we already must see all signals when doing an
stepping over a breakpoint in-line. We now get:
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =

Breakpoint 3, handler (sig=14) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sigstep.c:35
35 done = 1;
Hardware single-step targets already behave this way, because the
Linux backends (both native and gdbserver) always report signals to
the core if the thread was single-stepping.
As mentioned in the new comment in do_target_resume, we can't fix this
by instead making the displaced_step_fixup phase skip fixing up the PC
if the single step stopped somewhere we didn't expect. Here's what
the backtrace would look like if we did that:

instruction at the same time it delivers a signal. This results in
tp->stepped_breakpoint set, but no step-resume breakpoint set. When
the next stop event arrives, GDB crashes. Irrespective of whether we
should do something more/different to step past the breakpoint in this
scenario (e.g., PR 18225), it's just wrong to assume there'll be a
step-resume breakpoint set (and was not the original intention).

Running break-interp.exp with the target always in non-stop mode trips
on PR13858, as enabling non-stop also enables displaced stepping.
The problem is that when GDB doesn't know where the entry point is, it
doesn't know where to put the displaced stepping scratch pad. The
test added by this commit exercises this. Without the fix, we get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: break *$pc

The fix switches all GNU/Linux ports to get the entry point from
AT_ENTRY in the target auxiliary vector instead of from symbols. This
is currently only done by PPC when Cell debugging is enabled, but I
think all archs should be able to do the same. Note that
ppc_linux_displaced_step_location cached the result, I'm guessing to
avoid constantly re-fetching the auxv out of remote targets, but
that's no longer necessary nowadays, as the auxv blob is itself cached
in the inferior object. The ppc_linux_entry_point_addr global is
obviously bad for multi-process too nowadays.
Tested on x86-64 (-m64/-m32), PPC64 (-m64/-m32) and S/390 GNU/Linux.

This patch is related to PR python/16699, and is an improvement over the
patch posted here:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00301.html>
Keith noticed that, when using the "complete" command on GDB to complete
a Python command, some strange things could happen. In order to
understand what can go wrong, I need to explain how the Python
completion mechanism works.
When the user requests a completion of a Python command by using TAB,
GDB will first try to determine the right set of "brkchars" that will be
used when doing the completion. This is done by actually calling the
"complete" method of the Python class. Then, when we already know the
"brkchars" that will be used, we call the "complete" method again, for
the same values.
If you read the thread mentioned above, you will see that one of the
design decisions was to make the "cmdpy_completer_helper" (which is the
function the does the actual calling of the "complete" method) cache the
first result of the completion, since this result will be used in the
second call, to do the actual completion.
The problem is that the "complete" command does not process the
brkchars, and the current Python completion mechanism (improved by the
patch mentioned above) relies on GDB trying to determine the brkchars,
and then doing the completion itself. Therefore, when we use the
"complete" command instead of doing a TAB-completion on GDB, there is a
scenario where we can use the invalid cache of a previous Python command
that was completed before. For example:
(gdb) A <TAB>
(gdb) complete B
B value1
B value10
B value2
B value3
B value4
B value5
B value6
B value7
B value8
B value9
(gdb) B <TAB>
comp1 comp2 comp4 comp6 comp8
comp10 comp3 comp5 comp7 comp9
Here, we see that "complete B " gave a different result than "B <TAB>".
The reason for that is because "A <TAB>" was called before, and its
completion results were "value*", so when GDB tried to "complete B " it
wrongly answered with the results for A. The problem here is using a
wrong cache (A's cache) for completing B.
We tried to come up with a solution that would preserve the caching
mechanism, but it wasn't really possible. So I decided to completely
remove the cache, and doing the method calling twice for every
completion. This is not optimal, but I do not think it will impact
users noticeably.
It is worth mentioning another small issue that I found. The code was
doing:
wordobj = PyUnicode_Decode (word, sizeof (word), host_charset (), NULL);
which is totally wrong, because using "sizeof" here will lead to always
the same result. So I changed this to use "strlen". The testcase also
catches this problem.
Keith kindly expanded the existing testcase to cover the problem
described above, and everything is passing.

Both PRs are triggered by the same use case.
PR18214 is about software single-step targets. On those, the 'resume'
code that detects that we're stepping over a breakpoint and delivering
a signal at the same time:
/* Currently, our software single-step implementation leads to different
results than hardware single-stepping in one situation: when stepping
into delivering a signal which has an associated signal handler,
hardware single-step will stop at the first instruction of the handler,
while software single-step will simply skip execution of the handler.
...
Fortunately, we can at least fix this particular issue. We detect
here the case where we are about to deliver a signal while software
single-stepping with breakpoints removed. In this situation, we
revert the decisions to remove all breakpoints and insert single-
step breakpoints, and instead we install a step-resume breakpoint
at the current address, deliver the signal without stepping, and
once we arrive back at the step-resume breakpoint, actually step
over the breakpoint we originally wanted to step over. */
doesn't handle the case of _another_ thread also needing to step over
a breakpoint. Because the other thread is just resumed at the PC
where it had stopped and a breakpoint is still inserted there, the
thread immediately re-traps the same breakpoint. This test exercises
that. On software single-step targets, it fails like this:
KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=off: signal thr3: continue to sigusr1_handler

The gdb.base/interrupt.exp test is important for testing system call

* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Don't skip if $inferior_spawn_id !=

interact with inferior program.
Some important tests, like gdb.base/interrupt.exp end up skipped
against gdbserver, because they depend on inferior I/O, which
gdbserver doesn't do.
This patch adds a mechanism that makes it possible to make them work.
It adds a new "inferior_spawn_id" global that is the spawn ID used for
I/O interaction with the inferior. By default, for native targets, or
remote targets that can do I/O through GDB (semi-hosting) this will be
the same as the gdb/host spawn ID. Otherwise, the board may set this
to some other spawn ID. When debugging with GDBserver, this will be
set to GDBserver's spawn ID.
Then tests can use send_inferior instead of send_gdb to send input to
the inferior, and use expect's "-i" switch to select which spawn ID to
use for matching input/output. That is, something like this will now
work:
send_inferior "echo me\n"
gdb_test_multiple "continue" "test msg" {
-i "$inferior_spawn_id" -re "echo me\r\necho\r\n" {
...
}
}
Or even:
gdb_test_multiple "continue" "test msg" {
-i "$inferior_spawn_id" -re "hello world" {
...
}
-i "$gdb_spawn_id" -re "error.*$gdb_prompt $" {
...
}
}
Of course, by default, gdb_test_multiple still matches with
$gdb_spawn_id.

I adjusted a test to do 'expect -i $server_spawn_id -re ...', and saw
really strange behavior. Whether that expect would work, depended on
whether GDB would also send output and the same expect matched it too
(on $gdb_spawn_id). I was perplexed until I noticed that
gdbserver_spawn spawns gdbserver and then uses expect_background to
reap gdbserver. That expect_background conflicts/races with any
"expect -i $server_spawn_id" done anywhere else in parallel...
In order to make it possible for tests to read inferior I/O out of
$server_spawn_id, we to get rid of that expect_background. This patch
makes us instead reap gdbserver's spawn id when GDB exits. If GDB is
still around, this gives a chance for gdbserver to exit cleanly. The
current code in gdb_finish uses "kill", but that doesn't work with
extended-remote (gdbserver doesn't exit). We now use "monitor exit"
instead which works in both remote and extended-remote modes.

While teaching gdb_test_multiple to forward "-i" to gdb_expect, I
found that with:
gdb_test_multiple (...) {
-i $some_variable -re "..." {}
}
$some_variable was not getting expanded in the gdb_test_multiple
caller's scope. This is a bug inside gdb_test_multiple. When
processing an argument in passed in user code, it was appending the
original argument literally, instead of appending the uplist'ed
argument.

2015-04-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): When processing an argument,
append the substituted item, not the original item.
Working on splitting gdb and inferior output handling in this test, I
noticed a race that happens to be masked out today.
The test sends "a\n" to the inferior, and then inferior echoes back
"a\n".
If expect manages to read only the first "a\r\n" into its buffer, then
this matches:
-re "^a\r\n(|a\r\n)$" {
and leaves the second "a\r\n" in output.
Then the next test that processes inferior I/O sends "data\n", and expects:
-re "^(\r\n|)data\r\n(|data\r\n)$"
which fails given the anchor and given "a\r\n" is still in the buffer.
This is masked today because the test relies on inferior I/O being

followed by a cascade of FAILs. The "tstatus" was supposed to detect
that this target (native) can't do tracepoints, but, alas, it didn't.
That detection failed because 'gdb_test "break main"' doesn't expect
anything, and then the output was slow enough that 'gdb_test ""
"Breakpoint .*"' matched the output of "break main"...
The fix is to use gdb_breakpoint instead. Also check the result of
gdb_test while at it.

I managed to come up with a test that reliably reproduces this. It
spawns enough threads for the pid number space to wrap around, so
could potentially take a while. On my box that's 4 seconds; on
gcc110, a PPC box which has max_pid set to 65536, it's over 10
seconds. So I made the test compute how long that would take, and cap
the time waited if it would be unreasonably long.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

* gdb.threads/tid-reuse.c: New file.
* gdb.threads/tid-reuse.exp: New file.
This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use
the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a
corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of
the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user
can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by
enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently,
here is what is supported:
bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings.
bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings.
bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings.
bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings.
bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24)
Dump ELF headers.
bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump private huge pages.
bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump shared huge pages.
(This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it
on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source
tree).
The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33,
which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the
default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW.
Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you,
is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I
extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and
made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from
/proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the
inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as
we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look
at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about
everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready
I will post it here).
With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for
determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed,
private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does
not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump
"[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel).
In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is:
- If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with
" (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x"
(shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if
the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps
have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous.
There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a
file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or
"AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both*
anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What
that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user
requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed
mappings to be present in the corefile.
It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above,
the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with
" (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is
anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may
have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux
kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do
this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root,
and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/
directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink
or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that
if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed
anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do
better: expose this information in a more direct way.
- If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps),
then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have
access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then
certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see
the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that
case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission
flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the
presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means
the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough,
however.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set
use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the
coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it
will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory
mappings to dump.

Variables with a DW_AT_const_value but without a DW_AT_location were not

has forced expansion of all CUs or not the lookup might succeed, or not
if the failure was already added to the symbol cache.

0x40053f is the start address of function func, and is mapped to line
7. 0x400541 is within function func, and is mapped to line 8.

in the following test,
(gdb) break a/break-asm-file0.s:func
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40053f: file a/break-asm-file0.s, line 7.
As we can see, breakpoint is set at the start address of function func
on x86, which means no prologue is skipped. On other targets, such as
arm and aarch64, breakpoint is set at the address *after* the start
address, which is mapped to line 8. Then test fails.
In fact, it is lucky this test doesn't fail on x86 and x86_64, whose
gdbarch method skip_prologue doesn't reply on skip_prologue_using_sal
if producer isn't clang.
if (find_pc_partial_function (start_pc, NULL, &func_addr, NULL))
{
CORE_ADDR post_prologue_pc
= skip_prologue_using_sal (gdbarch, func_addr);
struct compunit_symtab *cust = find_pc_compunit_symtab (func_addr);
/* Clang always emits a line note before the prologue and another
one after. We trust clang to emit usable line notes. */
if (post_prologue_pc
&& (cust != NULL
&& COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust) != NULL
&& startswith (COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust), "clang ")))
return max (start_pc, post_prologue_pc);
}
so it doesn't return and go further to prologue analyser. Since ".int 0"
isn't an instruction of prologue, nothing is skipped, starting address
is used, and test passes.
however, on targets which don't have such producer checking, the first
line number entry is skipped, and skip_prologue_using_sal returns sal
represents the second line number entry.
The idea of this patch is to force GDB stop at somewhere which is stilled
mapped to line 7 after skipping prologue. I choose to add a new line
number entry for the following instruction but mapped to the same line (7),
because I see the comments in dwarf2read.c,
... fact that two consecutive
line number entries for the same line is a heuristic used by gcc
to denote the end of the prologue.
then the line table becomes:

There are two ways to fix these fails, one is to modify functions to
force some registers saved (for example, doing function call in them),
and the other one is to relax the pattern to optionally match
"Saved registers:". I did both, and feel that the latter is simple,
so here is it.

The x86-record_goto.S assembly source file does not build on 32-bit.
This breaks many tests that use this file.
Split it into x86_64-record_goto.S and i686-record_goto.S. Luckily, we
can use either one with the same test .exp file.
It further turned out that most tests do not really need a fixed binary;
they should work pretty well with a newly-compiled C program. The
one thing that breaks this is the heavy use of "record goto" to navigate
inside the recorded execution.
Combine step.exp, next,exp, and finish.exp into a single test step.exp
and use normal stepping and reverse-stepping commands for navigation.

I noticed that "thread apply all" sometimes crashes.
The problem is that thread_apply_all_command doesn take exited threads
into account, and we qsort and then walk more elements than there
really ever were put in the array. Valgrind shows:
The current thread <Thread ID 3> has terminated. See `help thread'.

This can happen easily today as linux-nat.c/linux-thread-db.c are
forgetting to purge non-current exited threads. But even with that
fixed, we can always do "thread apply all" with an exited thread
selected, which won't be deleted until the user switches to another
thread. That's what the test added by this commit exercises.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

* gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: Test "thread apply all".
Currently, "set scheduler-locking step" is a bit odd. The manual
documents it as being optimized for stepping, so that focus of
debugging does not change unexpectedly, but then it says that
sometimes other threads may run, and thus focus may indeed change
unexpectedly... A user can then be excused to get confused and wonder
why does GDB behave like this.
I don't think a user should have to know about details of how "next"
or whatever other run control command is implemented internally to
understand when does the "scheduler-locking step" setting take effect.
This patch completes a transition that the code has been moving
towards for a while. It makes "set scheduler-locking step" hold
threads depending on whether the _command_ the user entered was a
stepping command [step/stepi/next/nexti], or not.
Before, GDB could end up locking threads even on "continue" if for
some reason run control decides a thread needs to be single stepped
(e.g., for a software watchpoint).
After, if a "continue" happens to need to single-step for some reason,
we won't lock threads (unless when stepping over a breakpoint,
naturally). And if a stepping command wants to continue a thread for
bit, like when skipping a function to a step-resume breakpoint, we'll
still lock threads, so focus of debugging doesn't change.
In order to make this work, we need to record in the thread structure
whether what set it running was a stepping command.
(A follow up patch will remove the "step" parameters of 'proceed' and 'resume')
FWIW, Fedora GDB, which defaults to "scheduler-locking step" (mainline
defaults to "off") carries a different patch that goes in this
direction as well.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

When setting a pending breakpoint with a thread condition while using
the mi interface, the thread condition would be lost by gdb when the breakpoint
was resolved.
This patch fixes this behavior by setting the thread condition properly in the
mi case.
Also, this patch modifies the mi-pending test case to test for this issue and
removes some unneeded code in the testcase and dependency on stdio.

This patch changes the heuristic the linespec lexer uses to
detect a keyword in the input stream.
Currently, the heuristic is: a word is a keyword if it
1) points to a string that is a keyword
2) is followed by a non-identifier character
This is strictly more correct than using whitespace. For example,
it allows constructs such as "break foo if(i == 1)". However,
find_condition_and_thread in breakpoint.c does not support this expanded
usage. It requires whitespace to follow the keyword.
The proposed new heuristic is: a word is a keyword if it
1) points to a string that is a keyword
2) is followed by whitespace
3) is not followed by another keyword string followed by whitespace
This additional complexity allows constructs such as
"break thread thread 3" and "break thread 3". In the former case,
the actual location is a symbol named "thread" to be set on thread #3.
In the later case, the location is NULL, i.e., the default location,
to be set on thread #3.
In order to pass all the new tests added here, I've also had to add a
new feature to parse_breakpoint_sals, which expands recognition of the
default location to keywords other than "if", which is the only keyword
currently permitted with the default (NULL) location, but there is no
reason to exclude other keywords.
Consequently, it will be possible to use "break thread 1" or
"break task 1".
In addition to all of this, it is now possible to remove the keyword_ok
state from the linespec parser.

This bug appears to be caused by bad debuginfo. The method
causing the sefault in the reporter's test case is marked both static
and virtual.
This patch simply safegaurds against this case in dwarf2_add_member_fn,
where the code assumes that there is a `this' pointer when a virtual method
is seen (more specifically, when DW_AT_vtable_elem is seen).
It previously dereferenced the first formal parameter
(`this' pointer), which in this case doesn't exist. GDB consequently
segfaulted dereferencing a NULL pointer.

Wanting to make sure the new continue-pending-status.exp test tests
both cases of threads 2 and 3 reporting an event, I added counters to
the test, to make it FAIL if events for both threads aren't seen.
Assuming a well behaved backend, and given a reasonable number of
iterations, it should PASS.
However, running that against GNU/Linux gdbserver, I found that
surprisingly, that FAILed. GDBserver always reported the breakpoint
hit for the same thread.
Turns out that I broke gdbserver's thread event randomization
recently, with git commit 582511be ([gdbserver] linux-low.c: better
starvation avoidance, handle non-stop mode too). In that commit I
missed that the thread structure also has a status_pending_p field...
The end result was that count_events_callback always returns 0, and
then if no thread is stepping, select_event_lwp always returns the
event thread. IOW, no randomization is happening at all. Quite
curious how all the other changes in that patch were sufficient to fix
non-stop-fair-events.exp anyway even with that broken.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

If the linux_nat_resume's short-circuits the resume because the

number was previously stopped for a breakpoint, GDB internal errors,
like:

Fix this by make status_callback bail out earlier. GDBserver is
already doing the same.

E.g,. with --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver on x86_64 Fedora
20, I get:

FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: continue to marker (vfork) (the program is no longer running)
And with --target=native-gdbserver, I get:

FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: continue to marker (vfork) (the program is no longer running)
First, the lack of fork support on remote targets is supposed to be
kfailed, so the KPASS is obviously bogus. The extended-remote board
should have KFAILed too.
The problem is that the test is using "is_remote" instead of
gdb_is_target_remote.
And then, I get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: set displaced-stepping on
stepi
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: single step over vfork
Obviously, that should be a FAIL. The problem is that the test only
expects SIGILL, not SIGSEGV. It also doesn't bail correctly if an
internal error or some other pattern caught by gdb_test_multiple
matches. The test doesn't really need to match specific exits/crashes
patterns, if the PASS regex is improved, like in ...
... this and the other "stepi" tests are a bit too lax, passing on
".*". This tightens those up to expect "x/i" and the "=>" current PC
indicator, like in:
1: x/i $pc
=> 0x3b36abc9e2 <vfork+34>: syscall
On x86_64 Fedora 20, I now get a quick KFAIL instead of timeouts with
both the native-extended-gdbserver and native-gdbserver boards:
PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: delete break vfork
PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: continue to syscall insn vfork
PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: set displaced-stepping on
KFAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: single step over vfork (PRMS: server/13796)

Hi,
This patch is to support catch syscall on aarch64 linux. We
implement gdbarch method get_syscall_number for aarch64-linux,
and add aarch64-linux.xml file, which looks straightforward, however
the changes to test case doesn't.
First of all, we enable catch-syscall.exp on aarch64-linux target,
but skip the multi_arch testing on current stage. I plan to touch
multi arch debugging on aarch64-linux later.
Then, when I run catch-syscall.exp on aarch64-linux, gcc errors that
SYS_pipe isn't defined. We find that aarch64 kernel only has pipe2
syscall and libc already convert pipe to pipe2. As a result, I change
catch-syscall.c to use SYS_pipe if it is defined, otherwise use
SYS_pipe2 instead. The vector all_syscalls in catch-syscall.exp can't
be pre-determined, so I add a new proc setup_all_syscalls to fill it,
according to the availability of SYS_pipe.
Regression tested on {x86_64, aarch64}-linux x {native, gdbserver}.

Unfortunately, the Python version of the dg-extract-results.sh script
doesn't produce stable-enough results for GDB. The test messages
appear to end up alpha sorted (losing the original sequence) and also
sorting changes between runs for some reason. That may be tolerable
for GCC, but for GDB, it often renders test results diffing between
different revisions unworkable.
Until that is fixed upstream, delete the script from the GDB tree.

Trying to fix a permanent breakpoints bug, I broke "next" over a

failed to notice this and still issued a pass. That's because the
regex matches "testsuite" in:

The problem is that "...archer/startswith/src..." has a "start" in it,
which matches the too-lax regex in the test.
Rather than tweaking the regex, we can just remove the whole "info
threads", like we removed similar ones in other files -- GDB nowadays
does this implicitly already, so things should work without it. Thus
removing this even improves testing here a bit.

some other targets (like s390) such an assignment compiles to multiple
instructions. Then "si" may stop in mid-line, and GDB displays the PC
address in addition to the source line number. This was not considered
by the regexp for this case.

Breakpoint 1, thread_execler (arg=0x0) at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/thread-execl.c:29
29 if (execl (image, image, NULL) == -1)
(gdb)
The breakpoint in question is the step-resume breakpoint of the
non-main thread, the one that was "next"ed.
The exact same issue can be seen on mainline with native debugging, by
running the thread-execl.exp test in non-stop mode, because the kernel
doesn't report a thread exit event for the execing thread.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

gdb_test_multiple is supposed to return -1 on internal error:
# Returns:
# 1 if the test failed, according to a built-in failure pattern
# 0 if only user-supplied patterns matched
# -1 if there was an internal error.
But alas, that's broken, it returns success... It looks like the code
is assuming an earlier 'set result -1' is still in effect, but
'result' is set to 0 at the end, just before we call gdb_expect:
set result 0
set code [catch {gdb_expect $code} string]

In some scenarios, GDB or GDBserver can be spawned with input _not_
connected to a tty, and then tests that rely on stdio fail with
timeouts, because the inferior's stdout and stderr streams end up
fully buffered.
See discussion here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00809.html
We have a hack in place that works around this for Windows testing,
that forces every test program to link with an .o file that does
(lib/set_unbuffered_mode.c):
static int __gdb_set_unbuffered_output (void) __attribute__ ((constructor));
static int
__gdb_set_unbuffered_output (void)
{
setvbuf (stdout, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ);
setvbuf (stderr, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ);
}
That's a bit hacky; it ends up done for _all_ tests.
This patch adds a way to do this unbuffering explicitly from the test
code itself, so it is done only when necessary, and for all
targets/hosts. For starters, it adjusts gdb.base/interrupt.c to use
it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and against a remote gdbserver
board file that connects to the target with ssh, with and without -t
(create pty).

When doing finish in a function, if gdb fails to return a value, gdb
also fails at printing the value type if this type is a struct.
For example :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: . Cannot determine contents
This patch fixes this by calling type_to_string to print the type
so that we can support these types.
This patch returns the following example output :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: struct test. Cannot determine contents
Also, this patch modifies structs.exp to check that we return the
correct type.

Non-stop tests don't really work with the
--target_board=native-extended-remote board, because tests toggle
non-stop on after GDB is already connected to gdbserver, while
Currently, non-stop must be enabled before connecting.
This adjusts the test to bail if running to main fails, like all other
non-stop tests.

TL;DR - GDB can hang if something refreshes the thread list out of the
target while the target is running. GDB hangs inside td_ta_thr_iter.
The fix is to not use that libthread_db function anymore.
Long version:
Running the testsuite against my all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series is
still exposing latent non-stop bugs.
I was originally seeing this with the multi-create.exp test, back when
we were still using libthread_db thread event breakpoints. The
all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series forces a thread list refresh each
time GDB needs to start stepping over a breakpoint (to pause all
threads). That test hits the thread event breakpoint often, resulting
in a bunch of step-over operations, thus a bunch of thread list
refreshes while some threads in the target are running.
The commit adds a real non-stop mode test that triggers the issue,
based on multi-create.exp, that does an explicit "info threads" when a
breakpoint is hit. IOW, it does the same things the as-ns series was
doing when testing multi-create.exp.
The bug is a race, so it unfortunately takes several runs for the test
to trigger it. In fact, even when setting the test running in a loop,
it sometimes takes several minutes for it to trigger for me.
The race is related to libthread_db's td_ta_thr_iter. This is
libthread_db's entry point for walking the thread list of the
inferior.
Sometimes, when GDB refreshes the thread list from the target,
libthread_db's td_ta_thr_iter can somehow see glibc's thread list as a
cycle, and get stuck in an infinite loop.
The issue is that when a thread exits, its thread control structure in
glibc is moved from a "used" list to a "cache" list. These lists are
simply circular linked lists where the "next/prev" pointers are
embedded in the thread control structure itself. The "next" pointer
of the last element of the list points back to the list's sentinel
"head". There's only one set of "next/prev" pointers for both lists;
thus a thread can only be in one of the lists at a time, not in both
simultaneously.
So when thread C exits, simplifying, the following happens. A-C are
threads. stack_used and stack_cache are the list's heads.
Before:
stack_used -> A -> B -> C -> (&stack_used)
stack_cache -> (&stack_cache)
After:
stack_used -> A -> B -> (&stack_used)
stack_cache -> C -> (&stack_cache)
td_ta_thr_iter starts by iterating at the list's head's next, and
iterates until it sees a thread whose next pointer points to the
list's head again. Thus in the before case above, C's next points to
stack_used, indicating end of list. In the same case, the stack_cache
list is empty.
For each thread being iterated, td_ta_thr_iter reads the whole thread
object out of the inferior. This includes the thread's "next"
pointer.
In the scenario above, it may happen that td_ta_thr_iter is iterating
thread B and has already read B's thread structure just before thread
C exits and its control structure moves to the cached list.
Now, recall that td_ta_thr_iter is running in the context of GDB, and
there's no locking between GDB and the inferior. From it's local copy
of B, td_ta_thr_iter believes that the next thread after B is thread
C, so it happilly continues iterating to C, a thread that has already
exited, and is now in the stack cache list.
After iterating C, td_ta_thr_iter finds the stack_cache head, which
because it is not stack_used, td_ta_thr_iter assumes it's just another
thread. After this, unless the reverse race triggers, GDB gets stuck
in td_ta_thr_iter forever walking the stack_cache list, as no thread
in thatlist has a next pointer that points back to stack_used (the
terminating condition).
Before fully understanding the issue, I tried adding cycle detection
to GDB's td_ta_thr_iter callback. However, td_ta_thr_iter skips
calling the callback in some cases, which means that it's possible
that the callback isn't called at all, making it impossible for GDB to
break the loop. I did manage to get GDB stuck in that state more than
once.
Fortunately, we can avoid the issue altogether. We don't really need
td_ta_thr_iter for live debugging nowadays, given PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE.
We already know how to map and lwp id to a thread id without iterating
(thread_from_lwp), so use that more.

tstart
You can't do that when your target is `exec'
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.trace/no-attach-trace.exp: tstart
Even though this target supports tracing, the test restarts GDB and
doesn't do gdb_run_cmd so does not reconnect to the remote target. So
at that point, GDB only has the "exec" target, which obviously doesn't
do tracing.
The test is about doing "tstart" before running a program, so the fix
is to do gdb_target_supports_trace with whatever target GDB ends up
connected after clean_restart.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, native-gdbserver and
native-extended-gdbserver boards. The test passes with the latter,
and is skipped with the first two.

clean_restart before gdb_target_supports_trace.
On GNU/Linux, if a pthreaded program has a thread call clone(CLONE_VM)
directly, and then that clone LWP hits a debug event (breakpoint,
etc.) GDB internal errors. Threaded programs shouldn't really be
calling clone directly, but GDB shouldn't crash either.
The crash looks like this:
(gdb) break clone_fn
Breakpoint 2 at 0x4007d8: file clone-thread_db.c, line 35.

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

src/gdb/linux-nat.c:1030: internal-error: lin_lwp_attach_lwp: Assertion `lwpid > 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
The problem is that 'clone' ends up clearing the parent thread's tid
field in glibc's thread data structure. For x86_64, the glibc code in
question is here:
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:
...
testq $CLONE_THREAD, %rdi
jne 1f
testq $CLONE_VM, %rdi
movl $-1, %eax <----
jne 2f
movl $SYS_ify(getpid), %eax
syscall
2: movl %eax, %fs:PID
movl %eax, %fs:TID <----
1:
When GDB refreshes the thread list out of libthread_db, it finds a
thread with LWP with pid -1 (the clone's parent), which naturally
isn't yet on the thread list. GDB then tries to attach to that bogus
LWP id, which is caught by that assertion.
The fix is to detect the bad PID early.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20. GDBserver doesn't need any fix.

When gdb creates a dummy frame to execute a function in the inferior,
the process may generate a SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL because the stack
is non executable. If the signal handler set in gdb has option print
or stop enabled for these signals gdb handles this correctly.
However, in the case of noprint and nostop the signal is short-circuited
and the inferior process is sent the signal directly. This causes the
inferior to crash because of gdb.
This patch adds a check for SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL so that these
signals are sent to gdb rather than short-circuited in the inferior.
gdb then handles them properly and the inferior process does not
crash.
This patch also fixes the same behavior in gdbserver.
Also added a small testcase to test the issue called catch-gdb-caused-signals.
This applies to Linux only, tested on Linux.

This patch adds some simple tests testing the support for DTrace USDT
probes. The testsuite will be skipped as unsupported in case the user
does not have DTrace installed on her system. The tests included in the

probes, printing of probe arguments of several types and also
breakpointing on several probes with the same name.

This patch moves the `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' functions
from stap-probe.c to probe.c. The rationale is that it is reasonable to
assume that all backends will provide the `$_probe_argN' convenience
variables, and that the user must be placed on the PC of the probe when
requesting that information. The value and type of the argument can still be
determined by the probe backend via the `pops->evaluate_probe_argument' and
`pops->compile_to_ax' handlers.
Note that a test in gdb.base/stap-probe.exp had to be adjusted because the "No
SystemTap probe at PC" messages are now "No probe at PC".

On decr_pc_after_break targets, GDB adjusts the PC incorrectly if a
background single-step stops somewhere where PC-$decr_pc has a
breakpoint, and the thread that finishes the step is not the current
thread, like:
ADDR1 nop <-- breakpoint here
ADDR2 jmp PC
IOW, say thread A is stepping ADDR2's line in the background (an
infinite loop), and the user switches focus to thread B. GDB's
adjust_pc_after_break logic confuses the single-step stop of thread A
for a hit of the breakpoint at ADDR1, and thus adjusts thread A's PC
to point at ADDR1 when it should not, and reports a breakpoint hit,
when thread A did not execute the instruction at ADDR1 at all.
The test added by this patch exercises exactly that.
I can't find any reason we'd need the "thread to be examined is still
the current thread" condition in adjust_pc_after_break, at least
nowadays; it might have made sense in the past. Best just remove it,
and rely on currently_stepping().

Some local changes I was working on related to SIGTRAP handling
resulted in "signal SIGTRAP" no longer passing the SIGTRAP to the
inferior.
Surprisingly, only annota1.exp catches this. This commit adds a test
that doesn't rely on annotations, so that at the point annotations are
finaly dropped, we still have this use case covered ...
This is a multi-threaded test to also exercise the case of first
needing to do a step-over before delivering the signal.

The test currently exits after 180s, which is just a random number,
that has no relation to what the .exp file considers a time out. This
commit makes the program wait a bit longer than what the .exp file
considers a time out, and, resets the timer for each iteration.

Thinking that this might be a problem of SIGTERM reaching GDB, but
then the event loop taking too long to handle it, I hacked GDB to
print a debug log whenever the SIGTERM handler was called, and,
whenever the event loop finally calls the async SIGTERM handler.

takes more than 200 single-steps before SIGTERM even reaches GDB.
This just looks like a kernel/scheduling issue --- some extra usage
spike in the system (e.g., an I/O spike) might cause it for me. For
the build slaves, I'm guessing they're frequently busy enough to trip
on this often. Particularly more so now that we're having them run
tests in parallel mode.
The fix is to detect failure by timeout instead of counting single
steps. This should be more reliable. Indeed for me, after this
commit, I couldn't trigger a FAIL anymore, even after letting the test
run for an hour.
By timeout is also nicer in that a board file for a slow host/target
can increase it (like, e.g., an embedded GNU/Linux board).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, gdbserver, and extended-remote
gdbserver.

This commit modifies the test program gdb.base/info-os.c so that
it cleans up all allocated System V IPC objects when a fatal
error occurs. Without this, it was possible for the program
to leave IPC objects on the system, and such objects persist
until they are manually deleted or the system reboots.
I looked at changing the SysV IPC key for allocating the IPC objects to
IPC_PRIVATE. That would prevent errors due to namespace conflicts with the
key. However, the test needs to read the actual key number from the 'info
os' command output, and IPC_PRIVATE won't work for that.

Running the testsuite with the native-extended-gdbserver.exp board and
passing a variant spec, like
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver/-m32"
results in dejagnu trying to open a rsh connection to
"native-extended-gdbserver", which of course is wrong. The point of
this board is running things locally.
The issue is that the native-extended-gdbserver board does not clear
the "isremote" flag properly.

This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be
thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to
be useful. A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added
to control this behaviour. A top-level completion limit is added to
complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never
sees too many completions. An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming
symbol table expansions.

Consider the following declarations:
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
type Record_Type (N : Integer) is record
A : Array_Type (1 .. N);
end record;
R : Record_Type := Get (10);
It defines what Ada programers call a "discriminated record", where
"N" is a component of that record called a "discriminant", and where
"A" is a component defined as an array type whose upper bound is
equal to the value of the discriminant.
So far, we rely on a number of fairly complex GNAT-specific encodings
to handle this situation. This patch is to enhance GDB to be able to
print this record in the case where the compiler has been modified
to replace those encodings by pure DWARF constructs.
In particular, the debugging information generated for the record above
looks like the following. "R" is a record..
.uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x13e) DW_TAG_structure_type)
.long .LASF17 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type"

.long 0x153 # DW_AT_upper_bound
This patch enhanced GDB to understand references to other DIEs
where the DIE's address is at an offset of its enclosing type.
The difficulty was that the address used to resolve the array's
type (R's address + 4 bytes) is different from the address used
as the base to compute N's address (an offset to R's address).
We're solving this issue by using a stack of addresses rather
than a single address when trying to resolve a type. Each address
in the stack corresponds to each containing level. For instance,
if resolving the field of a struct, the stack should contain
the address of the field at the top, and then the address of
the struct. That way, if the field makes a reference to an object
of the struct, we can retrieve the address of that struct, and
properly resolve the dynamic property references that struct.

Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
This is preparation work to avoid a regression in the Ada/varobj.
An upcoming patch is going to add support for types in DWARF
which have dynamic properties whose value is a reference to another
DIE.
Consider for instance the following declaration:
type Variant_Type (N : Int := 0) is record
F : String(1 .. N) := (others => 'x');
end record;
type Variant_Type_Access is access all Variant_Type;
VTA : Variant_Type_Access := null;
This declares a variable "VTA" which is an access (=pointer)
to a variant record Variant_Type. This record contains two
components, the first being "N" (the discriminant), and the
second being "F", an array whose lower bound is 1, and whose
upper bound depends on the value of "N" (the discriminant).
Of interest to us, here, is that second component ("F"), and
in particular its bounds. The debugging info, and in particular
the info for the array looks like the following...
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0x91) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF16 # DW_AT_name: "bar__variant_type__T2b"
.long 0xac # DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type
.long 0x2cb # DW_AT_type
.long 0xac # DW_AT_sibling
.uleb128 0xa # (DIE (0xa2) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0xc4 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x87 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x91
... where the upper bound of the array's subrange type is a reference
to "n"'s DIE (0x87):
.uleb128 0x8 # (DIE (0x87) DW_TAG_member)
.ascii "n\0" # DW_AT_name
[...]
Once the patch to handle this dynamic property gets applied,
this is what happens when creating a varobj for variable "VTA"
(whose value is null), and then trying to list its children:
(gdb)
-var-create vta * vta
^done,name="vta",numchild="2",value="0x0",
type="bar.variant_type_access",has_more="0"
(gdb)
-var-list-children 1 vta
^done,numchild="2",
children=[child={name="vta.n",[...]},
child={name="vta.f",exp="f",
numchild="43877616", <<<<-----
value="[43877616]", <<<<-----
type="array (1 .. n) of character"}],
has_more="0"
It has an odd number of children.
In this case, we cannot really determine the number of children,
since that number depends on the value of a field in a record
for which we do not have a value. Up to now, the value we've been
displaying is zero - meaning we have an empty array.
What happens in this case, is that, because the VTA is a null pointer,
we're not able to resolve the pointer's target type, and therefore
end up asking ada_varobj_get_array_number_of_children to return
the number of elements in that array; for that, it relies blindly
on get_array_bounds, which assumes the type is no longer dynamic,
and therefore the reads the bound without seeing that it's value
is actually a reference rather than a resolved constant.
This patch prevents the issue by explicitly handling the case of
dynamic arrays, and returning zero child in that case.

In the situation described in bug 17416 [1]:
* "set print object" is on;
* The variable object is a pointer to a struct, and it contains an
invalid value (e.g. NULL, or random uninitialized value);
* The variable object (struct) has a child which is also a pointer to a
struct;
* We try to use "-var-list-children".
... an exception thrown in value_ind can propagate too far and leave an
half-built variable object, leading to a wrong state. This patch adds a
TRY_CATCH to catch it and makes value_rtti_indirect_type return NULL in
that case, meaning that the type of the pointed object could not be
found.

linux_nat_is_async_p currently always returns true, even when the
target is _not_ async. That confuses
gdb_readline_wrapper/gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup, which
force-disables target-async while the secondary prompt is active. As
a result, when gdb_readline_wrapper returns, the target is left async,
even through it was sync to begin with.
That can result in weird bugs, like the one the test added by this

gdb_interact is a small utility that we have found quite useful to debug
test cases.
Putting gdb_interact in a test suspends it and allows to interact with
gdb to inspect whatever you want. You can then type ">>>" to resume the
test execution. Of course, this is only for gdb devs. It wouldn't make
sense to leave a gdb_interact permanently in a test case.
When starting the interaction with the user, the script prints this
banner:
+------------------------------------------+
| Script interrupted, you can now interact |
| with by gdb. Type >>> to continue. |
+------------------------------------------+
Notes:
* When gdb is launched, the gdb_spawn_id variable (lib/gdb.exp) is
assigned -1. Given the name, I would expect it to contain the gdb
expect spawn id, which is needed for interact. I changed all places
that set gdb_spawn_id to -1 to set it to the actual gdb spawn id
instead.
* When entering the "interact" mode, the last (gdb) prompt is already
eaten by expect, so it doesn't show up on the terminal. Subsequent
prompts do appear though. We tried to print "(gdb)" just before the
interact to replace it. However, it could be misleading if you are
debugging an MI test case, it makes you think that you are typing in a
CLI prompt, when in reality it's MI. In the end I decided that since
the feature is for developers who know what they're doing and that one
is normally consciously using gdb_interact, the script doesn't need
to babysit the user.
* There are probably some quirks depending on where in the script
gdb_interact appears (e.g. it could interfere with following
commands and make them fail), but it works for most cases. Quirks can
always be fixed later.
The idea and original implementation was contributed by Anders
Granlund, a colleague of mine. Thanks to him.

Consider the following code:
type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
type Object (N : Integer) is record
Data : Table (1 .. N);
end record;
My_Object : Object := (N => 3, Data => (3, 5, 8));
Trying to print the range and length of the My_Object.Data array yields:
(gdb) print my_object.data'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 0
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 0
The first one is correct, and that is thanks to the fact that
the lower bound is statically known. However, for the upper
bound, and consequently the array's length, the values are incorrect.
It should be:
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 3
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 3
What happens here is that ada_array_bound_from_type sees that
our array has a parallel "___XA" type, and therefore tries to
use it. In particular, it described our array's index type as:
[...]___XDLU_1__n, which means lower bound = 1, and upper bound
is value of "n". Unfortunately, ada_array_bound_from_type does
not have access to the discriminant, and is therefore unable to
compute the bound correctly.
Fortunately, at this stage, the bound has already been computed
a while ago, and therefore doesn't need to be re-computed here.
This patch fixes the issue by ignoring that ___XA type if the array
is marked as already fixed.
This also fixes the same issue with packed arrays.

* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound_from_type): Ignore array's parallel

Executing a gdb script that runs the inferior (from the command line
with -x), and has it hit breakpoints with breakpoint commands that
themselves run the target, is currently broken on async targets
(Linux, remote).
While we're executing a command list or a script, we force the
interpreter to be sync, which results in some functions nesting an
event loop and waiting for the target to stop, instead of returning
immediately and having the top level event loop handle the stop.
The issue with this bug is simply that bpstat_do_actions misses
checking whether the interpreter is sync. When we get here, in the
case of executing a script (or, when the interpreter is sync), the
program has already advanced to the next breakpoint, through
maybe_wait_sync_command_done. We need to process its breakpoints
immediately, just like with a sync target.

Commit d3d4baed (PR python/17372 - Python hangs when displaying
help()) had the side effect of causing 'gdb -batch' to leave the
terminal in the wrong state if the program was run. E.g,.
$ echo 'main(){*(int*)0=0;}' | gcc -x c -; ./gdb/gdb -batch -ex r ./a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004004ff in main ()
$
If you start typing the next command, seemingly nothing happens - GDB
left the terminal with echo disabled.
The issue is that that "r" ends up in fetch_inferior_event, which
calls reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup, which causes
readline to prep the terminal (raw, echo disabled). But "-batch"
causes GDB to exit before the top level event loop is first started,
and then nothing de-preps the terminal.
The reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup function's intro
comment mentions:
"Need to do this as we go back to the event loop, ready to process
further input."
but the implementation forgets the case of when the interpreter is
sync, which indicates we won't return to the event loop yet, or as in
the case of -batch, we have not started it yet.
The fix is to not install the readline callback in that case.
For the test, in this case, checking that command echo still works is
sufficient. Comparing stty output before/after running GDB is even
better. Because stty may not be available, the test tries both ways.
In any case, since expect's spawn (what we use to start gdb) creates a
new pseudo tty, another expect spawn or tcl exec after GDB exits would
not see the wrong terminal settings. So instead, the test spawns a
shell and runs stty and GDB in it.

A sanity-check in my release scripts caught something: After having
created the tarballs, I verify that no checked-in file disappeared
in the process, and lo and behod, it found that the following file
got wiped:
- gdb/testsuite/dg-extract-results.py:
And it's not part of the tarball either.
I don't understand while we delete all *.py files in gdb/testsuite,
since I don't see a rule that expected to create one. A run of the
testsuite also doesn't seem to be creating .py files there.
I traced this to the following commit, which unfortunately provided
no explanation. Perhaps we used to run some tests in the gdb/testsuite
directory and caused files to be left behind there. Perhaps we still
do today?
In the meantime, Executive Decision: In order to allow me to create

* gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp: New file.
This patch fixes the watch_thread_num.exp test to work when the target
is better at making event handling be fair among threads.
I wrote patches that make GDB native and GDBserver event handling
fairer between threads. That is, if threads A and B both
simultaneously trigger some debug event, GDB will pick either A or B
at random, rather than always handling the event of A first. There's
code for that in the Linux backends (gdb and gdbserver) already, but
it can be improved, and only works in all-stop mode.
With those fixes in place, I found that the watch_thread_num.exp would
often time out. The problem is that the test only works _because_
event handling isn't as fair as intended. With the fairness fixes,
the test falls victim of PR10116 (gdb drops watchpoints on
multi-threaded apps) quite often.
To expand on the PR10116 reference, consider that stop events are
serialized to GDB core, through target_wait. Say a thread-specific
watchpoint as set on thread A. When the "right" thread and some other
"wrong" thread both trigger a watchpoint simultaneously, the target
may report the "wrong" thread's hit to GDB first (thread B). When
handling that event, GDB notices the watchpoint is for another thread,
and so shouldn't cause a user-visible stop. On resume, GDB saves the
now current value of the watched expression. Afterwards, the "right"
thread (thread A) reports its watchpoint trigger. But the watched
value hasn't changed since GDB last saved it, and so GDB doesn't
report the watchpoint hit to the user.
The way the test is written, the watchpoint is associated with the
first thread that happens to report an event. It happens that GDB is
processing events much more often for one of the threads, which
usually will be that same first thread.
Hacking the test with "set debug infrun 1", we see exactly that:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
70 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798],
37 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8802],
36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8804],
36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8803],
35 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8805],
34 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8806],
The first column shows the number of times the target reported an
event for that thread, from:
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
This masks out the PR10116 issue.
However, if the target is better at giving equal priority to all
threads, the PR10116 issue happens often, so it may take quite a while
for the right thread to be the first to report its watchpoint event
just after the memory being watched really changed, resulting in test
time outs.
Here's the number of events handled for each thread on a gdbserver run
with the event fairness patches:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," gdb.log | sort | uniq -c
2961 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13591],
2956 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13595],
2941 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13596],
2932 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13597],
2905 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13598],
2891 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13599],
Note how the number of events is much higher. The test routinely
takes over 10 seconds to finish on my machine rather than under a
second as with unpatched gdbserver, when it succeeds, but often it'll
fail with timeouts too.
So to make the test robust, this patch switches the tests to using
"awatch" instead of "watch", as access watchpoints don't care about
the watchpoint's "old value". With this, the test always finishes
quickly, and we can even bump the number of threads concurrently
writting to the shared variable, to have better assurance we're really
testing the case of the "wrong" thread triggering a watchpoint.
Here's the number of events I see for each thread on a run on my
machine, with a gdbserver patched with the event fairness series:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c
5 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5302],

These three test all spawn a few threads and then send a SIGSTOP to

up for the test. With a GDB patch that changes the inferior thread's

On Linux (at least), new threads start stopped, and the debugger must
resume them. The fix is to make the test program wait for the new
threads to be running before stopping GDB.

[A test I wrote stumbled on a libthread_db issue related to thread
event breakpoints. See glibc PR17705:
[nptl_db: stale thread create/death events if debugger detaches]
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17705
This patch avoids that whole issue by making GDB stop using thread
event breakpoints in the first place, which is good for other reasons
as well, anyway.]
Before PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (Linux 2.6), the only way to learn about new
threads in the inferior (to attach to them) or to learn about thread
exit was to coordinate with the inferior's glibc/runtime, using
libthread_db. That works by putting a breakpoint at a magic address
which is called when a new thread is spawned, or when a thread is
about to exit. When that breakpoint is hit, all threads are stopped,
and then GDB coordinates with libthread_db to read data structures out
of the inferior to learn about what happened. Then the breakpoint is
single-stepped, and then all threads are re-resumed. This isn't very
efficient (stops all threads) and is more fragile (inferior's thread
list in memory may be corrupt; libthread_db bugs, etc.) than ideal.
When the kernel supports PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (which we already make use
of), there's really no need to use libthread_db's event reporting
mechanism to learn about new LWPs. And if the kernel supports that,
then we learn about LWP exits through regular WIFEXITED wait statuses,
so no need for the death event breakpoint either.
GDBserver has been likewise skipping the thread_db events for a long
while:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-10/msg00547.html
There's one user-visible difference: we'll no longer print about
threads being created and exiting while the program is running, like:
[Thread 0x7ffff7dbb700 (LWP 30670) exited]
[New Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671)]
[Thread 0x7ffff7dd3700 (LWP 30667) exited]
[New Thread 0x7ffff7dab700 (LWP 30672)]
[Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671) exited]
[Thread 0x7ffff7dcb700 (LWP 30668) exited]
This is exactly the same behavior as when debugging against remote
targets / gdbserver. I actually think that's a good thing (and as
such have listed this in the local/remote parity wiki page a while
ago), as the printing slows down the inferior. It's also a
distraction to keep bothering the user about short-lived threads that
she won't be able to interact with anyway. Instead, the user (and
frontend) will be informed about new threads that currently exist in
the program when the program next stops:

The test entry-values.exp doesn't recognize the call instructions
on MIPS, such as JAL, JALS and etc, so this patch sets call_insn
to match various jump and branch instructions first.
Currently, we assume the next instruction address of call instruction
is the address returned from foo, however it is not correct on MIPS
which has delay slot. We extend variable call_insn to match one
instruction after jump or branch instruction, so that
$returned_from_foo is correct on MIPS.

This patch fixes a problem when trying to insert a breakpoint on
a specific symbol defined in a specific file, eg:
break foo.c:func
This currently works for files in C/C++/Ada, etc, but doesn't always
work for Asm files. Analysis of the problem showed that this related
to a limitation in gas, which does not generate debug info for functions/
symbols. Thus, we have a symtab for the file ("info sources" shows
the file), but it contains no symbols.
When find_linespec_symbols is called in linespec_parse_basic, it calls
find_function_symbols, which uses add_matching_symbols_to_info to
collect all matching symbols.
That function does [pardon any mangled formatting]:
for (ix = 0; VEC_iterate (symtab_ptr, info->file_symtabs, ix, elt); ++ix)
{
if (elt == NULL)
{
iterate_over_all_matching_symtabs (info->state, name, VAR_DOMAIN,
collect_symbols, info,
pspace, 1);
search_minsyms_for_name (info, name, pspace);
}
else if (pspace == NULL || pspace == SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt))
{
/* Program spaces that are executing startup should have
been filtered out earlier. */
gdb_assert (!SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt)->executing_startup);
set_current_program_space (SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt));
iterate_over_file_blocks (elt, name, VAR_DOMAIN,
collect_symbols, info);
}
}
This iterates over the symtabs. In the failing use case, ELT is
non-NULL (points to the symtab for the .s file), so it calls
iterate_over_file_blocks. Herein is where the problem exists: it is
assumed that if NAME exists, it must exist in the given symtab -- a
reasonable assumption for "normal" (non-asm) cases. It never searches
minimal symbols (or in the global default symtab).
This patch fixes the problem by doing so. It is important to note that
iterating over minsyms is fairly expensive, so this patch only adds
that extra search if the language is language_asm and
iterate_over_file_blocks returns no symbols.

This patch is the V2. V1 can be found in
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg00938.html
V2 is to address Joel's comment
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-06/msg00289.html> about
keeping dumping floating point registers. Additionally, command
'info float' prints bits on nan2008 and abs2008.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The change below provides a MIPS-specific handler for the:
(gdb) info float
command. It provides information about the FPU type available (if any),
the FPU register width, and decodes the CP1 Floating Point Control and
Status Register (FCSR):
(gdb) print /x $fsr
$1 = 0xff83ffff
(gdb) info float
fpu type: double-precision
reg size: 32 bits
cond : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
cause : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval unimp
mask : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
flags : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
rounding: -inf
flush : zero
One point to note about CP1.FCSR are the non-standard Flush-to-Nearest
and Flush-Override bits. They are not a part of the MIPS architecture and
take two positions reserved for an implementation-dependent use in the
architecture. They are present in all the FPU implementations made by
MIPS Technologies since the spin-off from SGI.
I haven't been able to track down a single other MIPS FPU implementation
that would make any use of these bits and they are required to be
hardwired to zero by the architecture specification if unimplemented.
Therefore I think it makes sense to report them in the current way.
GDB has no guaranteed access to the CP0 Processor Identification (PRId)
register to validate this feature properly and the ID information stored
in the CP1 Floating Point Implementation Register (FIR) is from my
experience not reliable enough (there's no Company ID available there for
once unlike in CP0.PRId and Processor ID is not guaranteed to be unique).
As a side note we should probably dump CP1.FIR information as well, as
there's useful stuff indicating some FPU features there. That's material
for another change however.

In the end I have managed to test it by Wine myself:

[...]
Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x241418) at ../../gdb/gdb.c:29
29 args.argc = argc;
Could not load libcc1.so: Module not found.
Even if it managed to load libcc1.so (it needs host-dependent name libcc1.dll)
then it would soon end up at least on:
default_infcall_mmap:
error (_("This target does not support inferior memory allocation by mmap."));
As currently there is only:
linux-tdep.c:
set_gdbarch_infcall_mmap (gdbarch, linux_infcall_mmap);
While one could debug Linux targets from MS-Windows host I find it somehow
overcomplicated now when we are trying to get it running at least on native
Linux x86*.
The 'compile' project needs a larger port effort to run on MS-Windows.

This fixes a failure of the test case "complete 'info registers '" in
completion.exp on architectures where the user registers have numbers
above 99. In that case the output of "maint print user-registers" was
no longer indented, and the regexp in the test case failed to add them
to the list of expected completion results. The fix also swaps the
columns "Name" and "Nr", such that the indentation is always the same,
and to be consistent with the output of "maint print registers".

It has been a while since we don't sync this file with GCC upstream,
and in the meantime some interesting things have happened. The most
interesting is the inclusion of a new dg-extract-results.py which is
apparently faster than its shell equivalent.
This merge will probably fix the bug described in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-12/msg00421.html>
Though I am still proposing the patch for upstream GCC. Once it gets
accepted, I will merge it too.
OK to apply?

When gdb starts, the lines that appear before the first prompt may get
paginated if the terminal in which the tests are ran is too small (in
terms of rows). These lines include the welcome/license message and
possibly more, such as "Reading symbols from...". Pagination is disabled
right after gdb is started (with "set height 0"), but this output happens
before we are able to set height.
If these lines get paginated, gdb waits for the user to press enter and
the test harness waits for gdb to print its prompt, resulting in a
deadlock.
My first idea was to launch gdb with --quiet. However, some lines are
still printed ("Reading symbols from...", some more stuff when attaching
with --pid, etc).
The proposed solution simply expects that pagination can occur after
starting gdb. If this is the case, it sends a "\n" and loops.
gdb/testsuite/Changelog:
* lib/gdb.exp (default_gdb_start): After starting gdb, loop
as long as we get pagination notifications.
Trying to print the value of a string whose size is not known at
compile-time before it gets assigned a value can lead to the following
internal error:
(gdb) p my_str
$1 =
/[...]/utils.c:1089: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
What happens is that my_str is described as a reference to an array
type whose bounds are dynamic. During the read of that variable's
value (in default_read_var_value), we end up resolving dynamic types
which, for reference types, makes us also resolve the target of that
reference type. This means we resolve our variable to a reference
to an array whose bounds are undefined, and unfortunately very far
appart.
So, when we pass that value to ada-valprint, and in particular to
da_val_print_ref, we eventually try to allocate too large of a buffer
corresponding to the (bogus) size of our array, hence the internal
error.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a size_check before trying
to print the dereferenced value. To perform this check, a function
that was previously specific to ada-lang.c (check_size) gets
exported, and renamed to something less prone to name collisions
(ada_ensure_varsize_limit).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (ada_ensure_varsize_limit): Declare.
* ada-lang.c (check_size): Remove advance declaration.
(ada_ensure_varsize_limit): Renames check_size.

* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_ref): Add call to
ada_ensure_varsize_limit. Add comment explaining why.

* gdb.ada/str_uninit: New testcase.
