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:

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.

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.

gdb_test_multiple expecting 'eof', rather than using 'wait -i' alone.
This means the testcase won't hang forever on failure as fixed in

In the test gdb.base/funcargs.exp, there's this function:
void recurse (SVAL a, int depth)
{
a.s = a.i = a.l = --depth;
if (depth == 0)
hitbottom ();
else
recurse (a, depth);
}
The test script places a breakpoint in hitbottom, and runs the
executable which calls recurse with an initial depth of 4.
When GDB hits the breakpoint in hitbottom the testscript performs a
backtrace, and examines 'a' at each level.
The problem is that 'a' is not live after either the call to
'hitbottom' or the call to 'recurse', and as a result the test fails.
In the particular case I was looking at GCC for RISC-V 32-bit, the
variable 'a' is on the stack and GCC selects the register $ra (the
return address register) to hold the pointer to 'a'. This is fine,
because, by the time the $ra register is needed to hold a return
address (calling hitbottom or recurse) then 'a' is dead.
In this patch I propose that a use of 'a' is added after the calls to
hitbottom and recurse, this should cause the compiler to keep 'a'
around, which should ensure GDB can find it.

Certain PIE executables produced by gold cannot be debugged by gdb after

If a vla is not in memory, and the upper bound is not defined, then we
can't know that an array element exists or not, and we should not try
to access the array element. One case where this happens is for
arrays that have been optimised out, the array will then have
VALUE_LVAL of not_lval, and an undefined upper bound, if we then try
to access an element of this array we will index into random GDB
memory.
An argument could be made that even for arrays that are in inferior
memory, if the upper bound is not defined then we should not try to
access the array element, however, in some of the Fortran tests, it
seems as though we do rely indexing from a base address into an array
which has no bounds defined. In this case GDBs standard protection
for detecting unreadable target memory prevents bad thing happening.

New in v3:
- Remove things related to the dwarf-5 format.
- Fix compilation on mingw (scoped_mmap.c).
GDB can generate indexes for DWARF debug information, which, when
integrated in the original binary, can speed up loading object files.
This can be done using the gdb-add-index script or directly by the
linker itself. However, not many people know about this. And even
among those who do, because it requires additional steps, I don't know a
lot of people who actually go through that trouble.
To help make using the DWARF index more transparent, this patch
introduces a DWARF index cache. When enabled, loading an index-less
binary in GDB will automatically save an index file in ~/.cache/gdb.
When loading that same object file again, the index file will be looked
up and used to load the DWARF index. You therefore get the benefit of
the DWARF index without having to do additional manual steps or
modifying your build system. When an index section is already present
in the file, GDB will prefer that one over looking up the cache.
When doing my edit-compile-debug cycle, I often debug multiple times the
same build, so the cache helps reducing the load time of the debug
sessions after the first one.
- The saved index file is exactly the same as the output of the "save
gdb-index" command. It is therefore the exact same content that would
be found in the .gdb_index or .debug_names section. We just leave it
as a standalone file instead of merging it in the binary.
- The cache is just a directory with files named after the object
file's build-id. It is not possible to save/load the index for an
object file without build-id in the cache.
- The cache uses the gdb index format. The problem with the dwarf-5
format is that we can generate an addendum to the .debug_str section
that you're supposed to integrate to the original binary. This
complicates a little bit loading the data from the cached index files,
so I would leave this for later.
- The size taken up by ~/.cache/gdb is not limited. I was thinking we
could add configurable limit (like ccache does), but that would come
after. Also, maybe a command to flush the cache.
- The cache is disabled by default. I think once it's been out there
and tested for a while, it could be turned on by default, so that
everybody can enjoy it.
- The code was made to follow the XDG specification: if the
XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable, it is used, otherwise it falls
back to ~/.cache/gdb. It is possible to change it using "set
index-cache directory". On other OSes than GNU/Linux, ~/.cache may
not be the best place to put such data. On macOS it should probably
default to ~/Library/Caches/... On Windows, %LocalAppData%/... I
don't intend to do this part, but further patches are welcome.
- I think that we need to be careful that multiple instances of GDB
don't interfere with each other (not far fetched at all if you run GDB
in some automated script) and the cache is always coherent (either the
file is not found, or it is found and entirely valid). Writing the
file directly to its final location seems like a recipe for failure.
One GDB could read a file in the index while it is being written by
another GDB. To mitigate this, I made write_psymtabs_to_index write
to temporary files and rename them once it's done. Two GDB instances
writing the index for the same file should not step on each other's
toes (the last file to be renamed will stay). A GDB looking up a file
will only see a complete file or no file. Also, if GDB crashes while
generating the index file, it will leave a work-in-progress file, but
it won't be picked up by other instances looking up in the cache.

Add a maintenance command to disable the DWARF stack unwinders.
Normal users would not need this feature, but it is useful to allow
extended testing of fallback stack unwinding strategies, for example,
prologue scanners.
This is a partial implementation of the idea discussed in pr gdb/8434,
which talks about a generic ability to disable any frame unwinder.
Being able to arbitrarily disable any frame unwinder would be a more
complex patch, and I was unsure how useful such a feature would really
be, however, I can see (and have) a real need to disable DWARF
unwinders. That's why this patch only targets that specific set of
unwinders.
If in the future we find ourselves adding more switches to disable
different unwinders, then we should probably move to a more generic
solution, and remove this patch.

When compiling vla-optimized-out.c with -O3 and a recent gcc, and trying to

This is a regression introduced by 42dc7699a2 "[gdb/exp] Fix printing of type
of optimized out vla".
This patch fixes the regression by wrapping the ctx.eval call in
dwarf2_locexpr_baton_eval in try/catch, similar to what is done in
dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full.

Consider this snippet from gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/guality/vla-1.c:
...
int __attribute__((noinline))
f1 (int i)
{
char a[i + 1];
a[0] = 5; /* { dg-final { gdb-test .+1 "i" "5" } } */
return a[0]; /* { dg-final { gdb-test . "sizeof (a)" "6" } } */
}
...
When we compile the test-case with -O1 -g, and query the size of optimized
out vla 'a', we get:
...
$ ./gdb -batch -ex "b f1" -ex "r" -ex "p sizeof (a)" vla-1.exe
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004a8: file vla-1.c, line 17.
Breakpoint 1, f1 (i=i@entry=5) at vla-1.c:17
17 return a[0];
$1 = 0
...
while we expect a size of '6'.
The problem is that default_read_var_value does not resolve the dynamic type
of a variable if the variable is optimized out.
This patch fixes that, and consequently gdb prints '6', as expected.

Add helper functions parse_flags and parse_flags_qcs.
parse_flags helper function allows to look for a set of flags at
the start of a string.
A flag must be given individually.
parse_flags_qcs is a specialised helper function to handle
the flags -q, -c and -s, that are used in the new command 'frame apply'
and in the command 'thread apply.
Modify number_or_range_parser::get_number to differentiate a
- followed by digits from a - followed by an alpha (i.e. a flag or an option).
That is needed for the addition of the [FLAG]... arguments to
thread apply ID... [FLAG]... COMMAND
Remove bool number_or_range_parser::m_finished, rather
implement the 'finished' logic inside number_or_range_parser::finished.
The new logic properly detects the end of parsing even if not at
end of the string. This ensures that number_or_range_parser::cur_tok
really points past the last parsed token when parsing is finished.
Before, it was always pointing at the end of the string.
As parsing now is finished directly when not positioned on a number,
number_is_in_list must do an error check before the loop getting all
numbers.
The error message for 'thread apply -$unknownconvvar p 1'
is now the more clear:
Convenience variable must have integer value.
Invalid thread ID: -$unknownconvvar p 1
instead of previously:
negative value

This patch fixes a failure that happens when a structure has a static
member whose type is the same as itself. From the bug report:
Example code:
struct A
{
static A Empty;
int a;
};
int main(void) {
A a;
return 0;
}
Output:
(gdb) ptype/o A
/* offset | size */ type = struct A {
static struct A {
static struct A {
static struct A {
static struct A {
static struct A {
static struct A {
... # infinite loop
The problem here is that GDB is not taking into account the fact that
static members inside a class/struct are not stored in the
class/struct, and therefore they should not be accounted for during
the display of the offsets/sizes. The fix is simple: we just check if
the field we're dealing with (on
c-typeprint.c:c_type_print_base_struct_union) is static, and if it is
then we don't iterate over it.
This patch also adds a new test for this case, and doesn't introduce
any regressions. I believe it is important enough to be included in
the 8.2 branch.
OK?

In the gdb.base/examine-backward.exp test script, we check to see if
address zero is readable, and then read memory first forward from
address zero, and then backward from address zero.
The problem is, being able to read address zero does not guarantee
that you'll be able to read from the other end of the address space,
and the test probably shouldn't assume that is the case.
This patch updates the test script so that even if address zero is
known non-readable, we still run the tests, the tests in question are
mostly about, can GDB calculate the correct address to read from, we
can confirm this even if the final read ultimately fails. We also no
longer assume that if address zero is readable, then the other end of
the address space will be readable.
One further change is that, when we examined the memory at address
zero, the regexp used to match the address expected that the zero
address would have two '0' digits as the least significant digits. As
GDB strips leading zeros from addresses this was causing the test to
fail. I've reduced the zero address to a single 0 digit.

The test associated with the source file
gdb.base/share-env-with-gdbserver.c relies on calling malloc and free
within the inferior from GDB. However, as the test source itself
makes no use of these functions, there's no requirement that they be
linked into the test executable.
This commit adds a dummy call to malloc and free to ensure they are
linked into the test executable.

watchpoint-hw-attach.exp was noticed to fail on some machines.
Thanks to the input from sergiodj and palves on the IRC channel,

was fixed by running to a break point in main by explicitly
defining the source file name before continuing with the test.

This patch fixes a unique condition where GDB fails to provide line
information of symbol at address zero when code is compiled with text
address zero but loaded at an offset > 0.
For example lets compile following code snippet:
int main() {
return 0;
}
gcc -O0 -g3 -nostdlib -emain -Wl,-Ttext=0x00 -o file.out file.c
Start gdb and run:
add-symbol-file file.out 0xffff0000
info line main
GDB will return error saying no line info is available for the symbol.
This is a direct consequence of the fix for PR 12528 where GDB tries to ignore
line table for a function which has been garbage collected by the linker.
As the garbage collected symbols are sent to address zero GDB assumes a symbol
actually placed at address zero as garbage collected.
This was fixed with an additional check address < lowpc. But when symbol is
loaded at an offset lowpc becomes lowpc + offset while no offset is added to
address rather final symbol address is calculated based on baseaddr and address
added together. So in case where symbols are loaded at an offset the condition
address < lowpc will always return true.
This patch fixes this by comparing address against a non offset lowpc.
This patch also adds a GDB test case to replicate this behavior.

Those processes used to kill themselves, but that was changed by
commit f50d8a2eae ("Fix gdb.base/fork-running-state.exp race").
This commit restores the self-killing, but only in the cases gdb won't
try killing the processes, thus avoiding the old race.
(The restored code in fork_parent isn't exactly the same as it was.
In this version, we're exiting immediately when 'wait' returns
success, while in the old version we'd loop again and end up in the
perror call. The output from that perror call is not expected by the
"kill inferior" tests, and would result in a test FAIL.)

Consider this testcase:
...
struct s {
int a;
int b;
};
struct s foo ()
{
struct s r;
r.a = 1;
r.b = 2;
return r;
}
int
main (void)
{
struct s v;
v = foo ();
return v.a + v.b;
}
...
When we compile it with -g, load the exec with gdb, and run till the end of foo,
we can print r:
...
(gdb) p r
$1 = {a = 1, b = 2}
...
and by setting pretty printing to on, we can get the fields of r printed each
on its own line:
...
(gdb) set print pretty
(gdb) p r
$2 = {
a = 1,
b = 2
}
...
However, when we finish foo, the printed function result value is not using
the pretty printing setting:
...
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo () at test.c:11
0x00000000004004c1 in main () at test.c:18
18 v = foo ();
Value returned is $3 = {a = 1, b = 2}
...
This patch fixes that by using get_user_print_options instead of
get_no_prettyformat_print_options in print_return_value_1, which gives us:
...
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo () at test.c:11
0x00000000004004c1 in main () at test.c:18
18 v = foo ();

There's an alarm set in main before the fork, but alarms are not preserved in
the fork child:

...
NOTES
Alarms created by alarm() are preserved across execve(2) and are not
inherited by children created via fork(2).
...
So, AFAIU, once the parent is killed, there's no alarm to terminate the child.
The patch fixes this by moving the setting of the alarm into the
fork_main/fork_child functions, making sure that an alarm will trigger for
the child.
Tested with make check on x86_64.

Use the last endianness explicitly selected, either by choosing a binary
file or with the `set endian' command, for future automatic selection.
As observed with the `gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp' test case when
discarding the binary file even while connected to a live target the
endianness automatically selected is reset to the GDB target's default,
even if it does not match the endianness of the target being talked to.
For example with a little-endian MIPS target and the default endianness
being big we get this:
(gdb) file .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols/step-over-no-symbols

which shows that with the removal of the executable debugged the
endianness of $pc still at `main' gets swapped and the value in that
register is now incorrectly interpreted as 0x40084000 rather than
0x400840 as shown earlier on with the `break' command. Consequently the
debug session no longer works as expected, until the endianness is
overridden with an explicit `set endian little' command.
This will happen while working with any target hardware whose endianness
does not match the default GDB target's endianness guessed and recorded
for a later use in `initialize_current_architecture'.
Given that within a single run of GDB it is more likely that consecutive
target connections will use the same endianness than that the endianness
will be swapped between connections, it makes sense to preserve the last
endianness explicitly selected as the automatic default. It will make a
session like above, where an executable is removed, work correctly and
will retain the endianness for a further reconnection to the target.
And the new automatic default will still be overridden by subsequently
choosing a binary to debug, or with an explicit `set endian' command.
With the change in place the test case above completes successfully:

warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x400840.
GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x400840
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x400840 for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set
heuristic-fence-post' command.

PR gdb/23203 reports 'bt full' causing the currently selected frame to

Add a new class scoped_restore_selected_frame that saves and restores
the selected frame. Make use of this in print_frame_local_vars to
restore the selected frame on exit.
