GDB's current behavior when dealing with non-local references in the
context of nested fuctions is approximative:
- code using valops.c:value_of_variable read the first available stack
frame that holds the corresponding variable (whereas there can be
multiple candidates for this);
- code directly relying on read_var_value will instead read non-local
variables in frames where they are not even defined.
This change adds the necessary context to symbol reads (to get the block
they belong to) and to blocks (the static link property, if any) so that
GDB can make the proper decisions when dealing with non-local varibale
references.

* python/py-unwind.c (pyuw_sniffer): Install the invalidate

This patch adds support for address locations, of the form "*ADDR".
[Support for address linespecs has been removed/replaced by this "new"
location type.] This patch also converts any existing address locations
from its previous linespec type.

This patch converts the code base to use the new struct event_location
API being introduced. This patch preserves the current functionality and
adds no new features.
The "big picture" API usage introduced by this patch may be illustrated
with a simple exmaple. Where previously developers would write:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
create_breakpoint (..., arg, ...);
...
}
one now uses:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
struct event_locaiton *location;
struct cleanup *back_to;
location = string_to_event_locaiton (&arg, ...);
back_to = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
create_breakpoint (..., location, ...);
do_cleanups (back_to);
}
Linespec-decoding functions (now called location-decoding) such as
decode_line_full no longer skip argument pointers over processed input.
That functionality has been moved into string_to_event_location as
demonstrated above.

This patch is mostly extracted from Pedro's C++ branch. It adds explicit
casts from integer to enum types, where it is really the intention to do
so. This could be because we are ...
* iterating on enum values (we need to iterate on an equivalent integer)
* converting from a value read from bytes (dwarf attribute, agent
expression opcode) to the equivalent enum
* reading the equivalent integer value from another language (Python/Guile)
An exception to that is the casts in regcache.c. It seems to me like
struct regcache's register_status field could be a pointer to an array of
enum register_status. Doing so would waste a bit of memory (4 bytes
used by the enum vs 1 byte used by the current signed char, for each
register). If we switch to C++11 one day, we can define the underlying
type of an enum type, so we could have the best of both worlds.

As Pedro suggested on gdb-patches@ (see
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00714.html), this
change makes symbol lookup functions return a structure that includes
both the symbol found and the block in which it was found. This makes
it possible to get rid of the block_found global variable and thus makes
block hunting explicit.

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?

so move it out of the parent struct.

The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual.
Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really
be using the --xdb switch.
I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I
looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked
potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias
for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end".
I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially
more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated,
e.g., for golang).

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.

All these were caught by actually making TRY/CATCH use try/catch

This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
This normalizes some exception catch blocks that check for ex.reason
to look like this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
...
}
~~~
This is a preparation step for running a script that converts all
TRY_CATCH uses to look like this instead:
~~~
TRY
{
...
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
END_CATCH
~~~
The motivation for that change is being able to reimplent TRY/CATCH in
terms of C++ try/catch.
This commit makes it so that:
- no condition other than ex.reason < 0 is checked in the if
predicate
- there's no "else" block to check whether no exception was caught
- there's no code between the TRY_CATCH (TRY) block and the
'if (ex.reason < 0)' block (CATCH).
- the exception object is no longer referred to outside the if/catch
block. Note the local volatile exception objects that are
currently defined inside functions that use TRY_CATCH will
disappear. In cases it's more convenient to still refer to the
exception outside the catch block, a new non-volatile local is
added and copy to that object is made within the catch block.
The following patches should make this all clearer.

This commit introduces a new inline common function "startswith"

string starts with the second. It also updates the 295 places
where this logic was written out longhand to use the new function.

This patch renames symbols that happen to have names which are
reserved keywords in C++.
Most of this was generated with Tromey's cxx-conversion.el script.
Some places where later hand massaged a bit, to fix formatting, etc.
And this was rebased several times meanwhile, along with re-running
the script, so re-running the script from scratch probably does not
result in the exact same output. I don't think that matters anyway.

Now when the code is exception safe we can let RETURN_QUIT to pass through as

* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_single_arg, enumerate_locals)

goto error patters are sometimes AFAIK used in C for the cases like:
int retval=-1;
if (!(a=malloc())) goto error;
if (!(b=malloc())) goto error_a;
if (!(c=malloc())) goto error_b;
retval=0;
error_c: free(c);
error_b: free(b);
error_a: free(a);
error: return retval;
But here there is single error label with one do_cleanups() which I do not find
it worth the goto complication. Without goto one can then furher merge code in
the exit paths in the next patches and ... after all it is all the same, just
without a goto.

* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_frame): Put conditional code paths

'elided' to a new inner block.
In C, we can forward declare static structure instances. That doesn't
work in C++ though. C++ treats these as definitions. So then the
compiler complains about symbol redefinition, like:
src/gdb/elfread.c:1569:29: error: redefinition of ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’
src/gdb/elfread.c:53:29: error: ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’ previously declared here
The intent of static here is naturally to avoid making these objects
visible outside the compilation unit. The equivalent in C++ would be
to instead define the objects in the anonymous namespace. But given
that it's desirable to leave the codebase compiling as both C and C++
for a while, this just makes the objects extern.
(base_breakpoint_ops is already declared in breakpoint.h, so we can
just remove the forward declare from breakpoint.c)

on Fedora Rawhide (==22) i686 using --with-python=/usr/bin/python3 one gets:
./python/py-value.c:1696:3: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror]

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Makefile:2628: recipe for target 'py-value.o' failed
This is because in Python 2 tp_hash was:
typedef long (*hashfunc)(PyObject *);
while in Python 3 tp_hash is:
typedef Py_hash_t (*hashfunc)(PyObject *);
Py_hash_t is int for 32-bit hosts and long for 64-bit hosts. While on 32-bit
hosts sizeof(long)==sizeof(int) still the hashfunc type is formally
incompatible. As this patch should have no compiled code change it is not
really necessary for gdb-7.9, it would fix there just this non-fatal
compilation warning:
./python/py-value.c:1696:3: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
