This fixes gdb.base/remote.exp regressions caused by the previous
commit to the testcase, when tested with
--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver. For example:
...
show remote memory-write-packet-size
The memory-write-packet-size is 0 (default). Packets are limited to 16383 bytes.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/remote.exp: write-packet default
...
With that board, GDB connects to GDBserver at gdb_start time, so GDB
is showing the actual remote/gdbserver packet size limits.
Fix it using the usual "disconnect" pattern. While at it, there's no
need to start GDB before compiling the testcase.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-05-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/remote.exp: Only gdb_start after compiling the
testcase. Issue "disconnect" before testing "set remote" command
defaults. Issue clean_restart before running to main.
Currently "show remote memory-write-packet-size" says that the packet
size is limited to whatever is stored in the remote_state global, even
if not connected to a target.
When we get to support multiple instances of remote targets, there
won't be a remote_state global anymore, so that must be replaced by
something else.
Since it doesn't make sense to print the limit of the packet size of a
non-existing connection, this patch makes us say that the limit will
be further reduced when we connect.
The text is taken from the command's online help, which says:
"The actual limit is further reduced dependent on the target."
Note that a value of "0" is special, as per "help set remote
memory-write-packet-size":
~~~
Specify the number of bytes in a packet or 0 (zero) for the
default packet size.
~~~
I've tweaked "show remote memory-write-packet-size" to include
"(default)" in the output in that case, like this:
(gdb) show remote memory-write-packet-size
The memory-write-packet-size is 0 (default). The actual limit will be further reduced dependent on the target.
While working on this, I noticed that an explicit "set remote
write-packet-size 0" does not makes GDB go back to the exact same
state as the default state when GDB starts up:
(gdb) show remote memory-write-packet-size
The memory-write-packet-size is 0. [...]
^^
(gdb) set remote memory-write-packet-size 0
(gdb) show remote memory-write-packet-size
The memory-write-packet-size is 16384. [...]
^^^^^
The "16384" number comes from DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_PACKET_SIZE.
This happens because git commit a5c0808e22 ("gdb: remove packet size
limit") at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00743.html>, added
this:
/* So that the query shows the correct value. */
if (size <= 0)
size = DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_PACKET_SIZE;
to set_memory_packet_size, but despite what the comment suggests, that
also has the side-effect of recording DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_PACKET_SIZE
in config->size.
Finally, DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_PACKET_SIZE only makes sense for "set
remote memory-write-packet-size fixed", so I've renamed it
accordingly, to make it a little bit clearer.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-05-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_PACKET_SIZE): Rename to ...
(DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_PACKET_SIZE_FIXED): ... this.
(get_fixed_memory_packet_size): New.
(get_memory_packet_size): Use it.
(set_memory_packet_size): Don't override the config size with
DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_PACKET_SIZE.
(show_memory_packet_size): Use get_fixed_memory_packet_size.
Don't refer to get_memory_packet_size if not connected to a remote
target. Show "(default)" if configured size is 0.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-05-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/remote.exp: Adjust expected output of "show remote
memory-write-packet-size". Add tests for "set remote
memory-write-packet-size 0" and "set remote
memory-write-packet-size fixed/limit".
1. Otherwise, when the native-gdbserver board stops setting is_remote,
this test would stop running there.
2. Makes the test run with --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver
too.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-10-13 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/remote.exp: Check gdb_protocol instead of is_remote.

English spelling...)

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.

Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This is a regression from 7.5, introduced/exposed by:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-07/msg00259.html
There are a series of issues with this code.
It does:
unsigned int val = parse_and_eval_long (arg);
^^^^^^^^^^^^
(unsigned, usually 32-bit) while parse_and_eval_long returns a LONGEST
(usually 64-bit), so we lose precision without noticing:
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
(gdb) show remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
The maximum number of target hardware watchpoints is 0.
While at it, print the invalid number with plongest, so the user sees
what GDB thought the number was:
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
integer 4294967296 out of range
So with "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit -1", val ends converted
to 0xffffffff, which then fails the
else if (val >= INT_MAX)
error (_("integer %u out of range"), val);
test.
Looking at that INT_MAX check, we forbid INT_MAX itself, but we
shouldn't, as that does fit in 'int' -- we want to forbid values
_greater_ than INT_MAX (and less than INT_MIN, while at it):
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 2147483647
integer 2147483647 out of range
The same problem is in the new var_zuinteger_unlimited code, which
also uses "int" for variable.
Also, when printing a 'signed int', we should use %d, not %u.
This adds a couple regression tests. Not completely thorough in checking
all kinds of invalid input; I'm saving more exaustive testing around
zXXinteger commands for something like new test-assisting commands
like "maint test cmd-zinteger -1", where testing would focus on the
command types, and thus be independent of particular user commands of
particular GDB features.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.
