This removes the SHORT_FIRST_MESSAGE case from complaints, leaving
only a single case. This allows for the removal of the last argument
to clear_complaints, and also simplifies complaint_internal, removing
an extra allocation in the process.
After this, the "./gdb -iex 'set complaint 1' -nx ./gdb" example will
show:
Reading symbols from ./gdb...
During symbol reading: .debug_ranges entry has start address of zero [in module /home/tromey/gdb/build/gdb/gdb]
During symbol reading: DW_AT_low_pc 0x0 is zero for DIE at 0x17116c1 [in module /home/tromey/gdb/build/gdb/gdb]

During symbol reading: unsupported tag: 'DW_TAG_unspecified_type'
During symbol reading: const value length mismatch for 'std::ratio<1, 1000000000>::num', got 8, expected 0
This is a bit wordier but, I think, a bit more clear, as the form of
the message no longer depends on precisely when it was emitted. In
particular if you compare to the output from the 'Clean up "Reading
symbols" output' patch, you can see that earlier gdb would switch from
the prefix-less form to the "During symbol reading" form at a point
that is meaningless to the user (specifically, after psymtab reading
is done and gdb tries to expand a CU).

The "no debugging symbols" message can be confusing in some cases, for
example when gdb finds separate debug info for an objfile, but the
separate debug info does not contain symbols.
For example:
(gdb) file /bin/ls
Reading symbols from /bin/ls...
Reading symbols from .gnu_debugdata for /usr/bin/ls...
(No debugging symbols found in .gnu_debugdata for /usr/bin/ls)
(No debugging symbols found in /bin/ls)
Here, I think the second "no debugging symbols" message is redundant
and confusing.
This patch changes gdb to only emit this message when the objfile in
question does not have a separate debug file. So, in the example
above, the output would now read:
(gdb) file /bin/ls
Reading symbols from /bin/ls...
Reading symbols from .gnu_debugdata for /usr/bin/ls...
(No debugging symbols found in .gnu_debugdata for /usr/bin/ls)
2018-10-04 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* symfile.c (symbol_file_add_with_addrs): Do not print "no

This patch is another attempt to fix PR cli/19551. Unlike my previous
attempt, it doesn't print progress. Instead, it just changes some
messages and adds newlines to make the output a bit nicer.
It also removes the "done." text that was previously emitted. The
idea here is that it is obvious when gdb is done reading debug info,
as it starts then doing something else; and that while this message
did not provide much benefit to users, it did make it harder to make
the output clean.
After this change the output from "./gdb -iex 'set complaint 1' -nx ./gdb"
reads:
Reading symbols from ./gdb...

That's one very long line. I find it quite difficult to read that,
and I thought it would be better with some newlines, which is what
this patch does. Now the output looks like:

While working on this series, I found some unfiltered prints that
didn't make sense -- many things, like complaints, are filtered, while
their context (in this case the "Reading symbols ..." messages) may
not be.
This patch changes some spots in symbol reading to use filtered
prints. I think this is preferable overall; in fact I'd go farther
and say that unfiltered printing should just be removed.
One of these spots was not strictly related (the change to
dump_psymtab), but I left it in partly because it makes psymtab.c
"unfiltered-clean", and partly because it is an example of filtered
and unfiltered printing being mixed in the same function.

While re-testing the complaint series, I saw some unresolved tests in
attach.exp. In particular, the tests were failing because the pager
was active.
This is partly a new problem, introduced because that series changes
some prints from unfiltered to filtered. However, it is also a latent
bug, which you can see by shrinking your window very small and then
running the test.
This patch avoids the problem by passing -quiet to gdb and arranging
to set the window height and width in one other test.
Arguably instead of -quiet we should disable the pager during gdb's
welcome message. I can do that if it seems desirable; but meanwhile
this patch is safe.

-fsanitize=undefined pointed out undefined behavior in
dump_raw_expression like:
runtime error: load of value 2887952, which is not a valid value for type 'exp_opcode'
dump_raw_expression will try to print the opcode for each element of
the expression, even when it is not valid. To allow this, but have it
avoid undefined behavior, this patch sets the underlying type of enum
exp_opcode, and arranges for op_name to handle invalid opcodes more
nicely.
Before this patch, debug-expr.exp shows:
Dump of expression @ 0x60f000007750, before conversion to prefix form:

-fsanitize=undefined pointed out this error:
runtime error: load of value 2887952, which is not a valid value for type 'exp_opcode'
This happens in gdb.ada/complete.exp when processing "complete p
my_glob". This does not parse, so the Ada parser throws an exception;
but then the code in parse_exp_in_context_1 accepts the expression
anyway. However, as no elements have been written to the expression,
undefined behavior results.
The fix is to notice this case in parse_exp_in_context_1. This patch
also adds an assertion to prefixify_expression to enforce this
pre-existing constraint.

and an undefined negation:
runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'long int'; cast to an unsigned type to negate this value to itself

wrong source file to be picked and the test to fail on 64-bit targets.
Change the test source from an assembly program to a C program using
inline assembly.

Building GDB with --host=x86_64-apple-darwin15 using G++ 5.3.0 runs
into a number of -Werror=unused-variable warnings/errors:
../../src/gdb/i386-darwin-nat.c: In function 'void i386_darwin_dr_set(int, CORE_ADDR)':
../../src/gdb/i386-darwin-nat.c:283:7: error: unused variable 'current_pid' [-Werror=unused-variable]
int current_pid;
^
[etc, etc.]
This commit fixes all such warnings.

* README: Remove some leftover text.
gdb's README and configure instructions in the manual are quite out of
date. They mention options that haven't existed for many years, among
other things.
This patch attempts to modernize the instructions somewhat. It is not
exhaustive, just an improvement -- more could be done. Perhaps even a
couple of the nodes should simply be removed and replaced by
references to the Autoconf manual.
The README file seems to have been generated from the Texinfo at some
point in the past. I did not continue this, but instead edited it
separately.

RISC-V supports instructions of varying lengths. Standard existing
instructions in the base ISA are 4 bytes in length, but the 'C'
extension adds support for compressed, 2 byte instructions. RISC-V
supports two different breakpoint instructions: EBREAK is a 4 byte
instruction in the base ISA, and C.EBREAK is a 2 byte instruction only
available on processors implementing the 'C' extension. Using EBREAK
to set breakpoints on compressed instructions causes problems as the
second half of EBREAK will overwrite the first 2 bytes of the
following instruction breaking other threads in the process if their
PC is the following instruction. Thus, breakpoints on compressed
instructions need to use C.EBREAK instead of EBREAK.
Previously, the riscv architecture checked the MISA register to
determine if the 'C' extension was available. If so, it used C.EBREAK
for all breakpoints. However, the MISA register is not necessarily
available to supervisor mode operating systems. While native targets
could provide a fake MISA register value, this patch instead examines
the existing instruction at a breakpoint target to determine which
breakpoint instruction to use. If the existing instruction is a
compressed instruction, C.EBREAK is used, otherwise EBREAK is used.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* disasm-selftests.c (print_one_insn_test): Add bfd_arch_riscv to

(_initialize_riscv_tdep): Add 'set/show debug riscv breakpoints'
flag. Update description of 'set/show riscv
use-compressed-breakpoints' flag.
The 'frame' command, and thanks to code reuse the 'info frame' and
'select-frame' commands, currently have an overloaded mechanism for
selecting a frame.
These commands take one or two parameters, if it's one parameter then
we first try to use the parameter as an integer to select a frame by
level (or depth in the stack). If that fails then we treat the
parameter as an address and try to select a stack frame by
stack-address. If we still have not selected a stack frame, or we
initially had two parameters, then GDB allows the user to view a stack
frame that is not part of the current backtrace. Internally, a new
frame is created with the given stack and pc addresses, and this is
shown to the user.
The result of this is that a typo by the user, entering the wrong stack
frame level for example, can result in a brand new frame being viewed
rather than an error.
The purpose of this commit is to remove this overloading, while still
offering the same functionality through some new sub-commands. By
making the default behaviour of 'frame' (and friends) be to select a
stack frame by level index, it is hoped that enough
backwards-compatibility is maintained that users will not be overly
inconvenienced.
The 'frame', 'select-frame', and 'info frame' commands now all take a
frame specification string as an argument, this string can be any of the
following:
(1) An integer. This is treated as a frame level. If a frame for
that level does not exist then the user gets an error.
(2) A string like 'level <LEVEL>', where <LEVEL> is a frame level
as in option (1) above.
(3) A string like 'address <STACK-ADDRESS>', where <STACK-ADDRESS>
is a stack-frame address. If there is no frame for this address
then the user gets an error.
(4) A string like 'function <NAME>', where <NAME> is a function name,
the inner most frame for function <NAME> is selected. If there is no
frame for function <NAME> then the user gets an error.
(5) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS>', this views a new frame
with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS>.
(6) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS> <PC-ADDRESS>', this views
a new frame with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS> and the pc <PC-ADDRESS>.
This change assumes that the most common use of the commands like
'frame' is to select a frame by frame level, it is for this reason
that this is the behaviour that is kept for backwards compatibility.
Any of the alternative behaviours, which are assumed to be less used,
now require a change in user behaviour.
The MI command '-stack-select-frame' has not been changed. This
ensures that we maintain backwards compatibility for existing
frontends.

This commit improves the prologue scanning stack unwinder, to better
support AUIPC, LUI, and more variants of ADD and ADDI.
This allows unwinding over frames containing large local variables,
where the frame size does not fit into a single instruction immediate,
and is first loaded into a temporary register, before being added to
the stack pointer.
A new test is added that tests this behaviour. As there's nothing
truely RiscV specific about this test I've added it into gdb.base, but
as this depends on target specific code to perform the unwind it is
possible that some targets might fail this new test.
