Pedro pointed out a regression in "commands", where trying to clear a
breakpoint's command list would fail:
(top-gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 3, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
>end
No breakpoints specified.
(top-gdb)
I believe the bug was introduced by my patch that changes
counted_command_line to be a shared_ptr. This causes the problem
because now the counted_command_line in commands_command_1 can be NULL,
whereas previously it never could be.
After some discussion, we agreed to simply remove the error case from
commands_command_1.

The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.
It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.

* gdb.base/readnever.c, gdb.base/readnever.exp: New files.
This is a bug that's been detected while doing the readnever work.
If you use 'symbol-file' or 'add-symbol-file', the position of each
argument passed to the command matters. This means that if you do:
(gdb) symbol-file -readnow /foo/bar
The symbol file specified will (correctly) have all of its symbols
read by GDB (because of the -readnow flag). However, if you do:
(gdb) symbol-file /foo/bar -readnow
GDB will silently ignore the -readnow flag, because it was specified
after the filename. This is not a good thing to do and may confuse
the user.
To address that, I've modified the argument parsing mechanisms of
symbol_file_command and add_symbol_file_command to be
"position-independent". I have also added one error call at the end
of add_symbol_file_command's argument parsing logic, which now clearly
complains if no filename has been specified. Both commands now
support the "--" option to stop argument processing.
This patch provides a testcase for both commands, in order to make
sure that the argument order does not matter. It has been
regression-tested on BuildBot.

This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
(anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
(gdb) b B::function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)
To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit). For example:
(gdb) b B::function
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
vs:
(gdb) b -qualified B::function
B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const
I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".
Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations. I.e., these are equivalent:
(gdb) b -q func
(gdb) b -q -f func
and so are these:
(gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
(gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q
To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.
(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)
Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:
- makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
last-component name only).
- adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.
- adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
they mean it.
- adds new testsuite tests.
- adds unit tests.
Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this:
-# of expected passes 7823
+# of expected passes 8977

This patch updates add-symbol-file help and error text.
It changes add-symbol-file to throw an exception if "-s" is seen but
not all of the arguments are given. Previously this was silently
ignored.
It changes the unrecognized argument message to more clearly state
what went wrong.
Finally, it updates the usage line in the help text to follow GNU

be made to all gdb help messages.

Earlier while working on the big completer rework series, I managed to
break
(gdb) [TAB]
locally, and make GDB crash, but only notice a few weeks down the
road, because we have no test for that...
I also noticed that:
(gdb) [TAB]
didn't work (didn't show all commands as matches), even though
entering a command with leading whitespace works:
(gdb) help
This commit fixes the latter and adds a testcase that covers both
issues.
The gdb.base/completion.exp change is necessary because the new test
has a file name that also starts with "gdb.base/complet", making that
particular test ambiguous. Adding another letter disambiguates.

This second patch introduces mfpr_float_ops, an new implementation
of target_float_ops. This implements precise emulation of target
floating-point formats using the MPFR library. This is then used
to perform operations on types that do not match any host type.
Note that use of MPFR is still not required. The patch adds
a configure option --with-mpfr similar to --with-expat. If use of
MPFR is disabled via the option or MPFR is not available, code will
fall back to current behavior. This means that operations on types
that do not match any host type will be implemented on the host
long double type instead.
A new test case verifies that we can correctly print the largest
__float128 value now.

The gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp testcase has several tests that
fail on 32-bit architectures. E.g., on 'x86-64 -m32', I see:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp: lang=c: cast: whatis (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef (invalid)
FAIL: gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp: lang=c: cast: ptype (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef (invalid)
...
gdb.log:
(gdb) whatis (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef
type = float_typedef
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp: lang=c: cast: whatis (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef (invalid)
As Simon explained [1], the issue boils down to the fact that on
64-bit, this is an invalid cast:
(gdb) p (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef
Invalid cast.
while on 32 bits it is valid:
(gdb) p (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef
$1 = 1.16251721e-41
The expression basically tries to cast an array (which decays to a
pointer) to a float. The cast works on 32 bits because a float and a
pointer are of the same size, and value_cast works in that case:
~~~
More general than a C cast: accepts any two types of the same length,
and if ARG2 is an lvalue it can be cast into anything at all. */
~~~
On 64 bits, they are not the same size, so it ends throwing the
"Invalid cast" error.
The testcase is expecting the invalid cast behavior, thus the FAILs.
A point of these tests was to cover as many code paths in value_cast
as possible, as a sort of documentation of the current behavior:
# The main idea here is testing all the different paths in the
# value casting code in GDB (value_cast), making sure typedefs are
# preserved.

In that spirit, this commit makes the testcase adjust itself depending
on size of floats and pointers, and also test floats of different
sizes.
Passes cleanly on x86-64 GNU/Linux both -m64/-m32.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.c (double_typedef)
(long_double_typedef): New typedefs.
Use DEF on double and long double.
* gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp: Add double and long double
cases.
(run_tests): New 'float_ptr_same_size', 'double_ptr_same_size',
and 'long_double_ptr_same_size' locals. Use them to decide
whether cast from array/function to float is valid/invalid.
This adds the testcase that exposed the multiple problems with Ctrl-C
handling fixed by the previous patches, when run against both native
and gdbserver GNU/Linux.

* gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.c: New file.
* gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp: New file.
This commit fixes a couple problems with gdb.base/starti.exp, causing
spurious FAILs.
The first is a double-prompt problem:
~~~
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/starti.exp: hook-stop
starti
[....]
gdb_expect_list pattern: /\$1 = 0/
$1 = 0
gdb_expect_list pattern: //
0x00007ffff7ddcc80 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb) # EXPECTED PROMPT
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/starti.exp: starti # ANOTHER PROMPT!
break main
~~~
This happens because the test uses gdb_test_sequence with no command,
like this:
gdb_test_sequence "" "starti" {
"Program stopped."
"\\$1 = 0"
}
but gdb_test_sequence doesn't have a check for empty command like
gdb_test_multiple does, and so sends "\n" to GDB:
proc gdb_test_sequence { command test_name expected_output_list } {
global gdb_prompt
if { $test_name == "" } {
set test_name $command
}
lappend expected_output_list ""; # implicit ".*" before gdb prompt
send_gdb "$command\n"
return [gdb_expect_list $test_name "$gdb_prompt $" $expected_output_list]
}
"starti" is a no-repeat command, so pressing <ret> just makes another
prompt appear, confusing the following gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc.
Even with that fixed, the testcase is still racy though.
The second problem is that sometimes the "continue" test times out
here:
~~~
continue
Continuing.
$2 = 1
gdb_expect_list pattern: /.*Breakpoint .*main \(\) at .*starti.c.*/
Breakpoint 1, main () at /home/pedro/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/starti.c:29
29 return 0;
(gdb) gdb_expect_list pattern: //
* hung here *
~~~
The problem is that the too-greedy ".*" trailing match in
gdb_expect_list's pattern ends up consuming GDB's prompt too soon.
Fix that by removing the unnecessary trailing ".*". While at it,
remove all ".*"s to be stricter.
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-11-16 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/starti.exp ("continue" test): Remove ".*"s from

Testing with:
$ make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.base/memattr.exp"
Exposes a testcase bug that can result in racy fails:
info mem
Using user-defined memory regions.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: info mem (1)
The problem is that:
"Attrs\[^\n\r]*.."
matches:
"Attrs \r"
when the output buffer is filled with partial output like this:
"info mem\r\nUsing user-defined memory regions.\r\nNum Enb Low Addr High Addr Attrs \r"

* gdb.base/memattr.exp: Tighten regexes to match the end line.
Testing with:
$ make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.base/completion.exp"
Exposes a testcase bug that can result in racy fails:
FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: command-name completion limiting using tab character
ERROR: Undefined command "".
FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: symbol-name completion limiting using tab character
FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: symbol-name completion limiting using complete command
testsuite/gdb.log shows:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/completion.exp: set max-completions 5
p^G
passcount path print print-object printf
*** List may be truncated, max-completions reached. ***
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: command-name completion limiting using tab character
pcomplete p
Undefined command: "pcomplete". Try "help".
(gdb) ERROR: Undefined command "".
The problem is that the expect buffer can get filled with partial
output that ends in the gdb prompt, and so the default FAIL inside
gdb_test_multiple matches.
Fix that by splitting the gdb_test_multiple in two stages. Since that
is done in more than one place in the testcase, move the otherwise
duplicate code to helper procedures.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-11-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/completion.exp (ignore_and_resync, test_tab_complete):
New procedures, factored out from ...
(top level): ... here, and adjusted to avoid expecting beyond the
prompt in one go.
... and also make GDB catch a few more cases of invalid input.
This fixes the inconsistency in GDB's output (e.g., "bad" vs "Bad")
exposed by the new tests added in the previous commit.
Also, makes the "0-0" and "inverted range" cases be loud errors.
Also makes GDB reject negative breakpoint number in ranges. We
already rejected negative number literals, but you could still subvert
that via convenience variables, like:
(gdb) set $bp -1
(gdb) disable $bp.1-2
The change to get_number_trailer fixes a bug exposed by the new tests.
The function did not handle parsing "-$num". [This wasn't visible in
the gdb.multi/tids.exp (which has similar tests) because the TID range
parsing is implemented differently.]
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (extract_bp_kind): New enum.
(extract_bp_num, extract_bp_or_bp_range): New functions, partially

* gdb.cp/ena-dis-br-range.exp: Adjust tests.
(disable_invalid, disable_inverted, disable_negative): New
procedures.
("bad numbers"): New set of tests.
It's odd that when parsing a breakpoint or location number, we error out
in most cases, but warn in others.
(gdb) disable 1-
bad breakpoint number at or near: '1-'
(gdb) disable -1
bad breakpoint number at or near: '-1'
(gdb) disable .foo
bad breakpoint number at or near: '.foo'
(gdb) disable foo.1
Bad breakpoint number 'foo.1'
(gdb) disable 1.foo
warning: bad breakpoint number at or near '1.foo'
This changes GDB to always error out. It required touching one testcase
that expected the warning.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (extract_bp_number_and_location): Change return
type to void. Throw error instead of warning.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-11-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/ena-dis-br.exp: Don't expect "warning:".
When a breakpoint has multiple locations, like e.g.:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x080486a2 in void foo<int>()...
1.2 y 0x080486ca in void foo<double>()...
[....]
1.5 y 0x080487fa in void foo<long>()...
it's possible to enable/disable the individual locations using the
'<breakpoint_number>.<location_number>' syntax, like e.g.:
(gdb) disable 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
That's inconvenient when you have a long list of locations to disable,
however.
This patch adds shorthand for the above, by making it possible to
specify a range of locations with the following syntax (similar to
thread id ranges):
<breakpoint_number>.<first_location_number>-<last_location_number>
For example, the command above can now be simplified to:
(gdb) disable 1.2-5

The patch at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-11/msg00039.html> was
proposing to add an assertion to child_terminal_init that turns out
would fail if you tried to attach to a process that isn't a process
group leader.
Since the testsuite failed to catch the problem, this commit adds a
new testcase that would catch it, like:
(gdb) attach 12415
Attaching to program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/attach-non-pgrp-leader/attach-non-pgrp-leader, process 12415
src/gdb/inflow.c:180: internal-error: void child_terminal_init(target_ops*): Assertion `getpgid (inf->pid) == inf->pid' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

2017-10-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/new-ui.exp (do_test): Split "delete all breakpoints on
extra console" test in two stages.
Currently, if you diff testsuite/gdb.sum of two builds in different
directories you see these spurious hunks:
-PASS: gdb.base/startup-with-shell.exp: touch /home/pedro/gdb1/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/startup-with-shell/unique-file.unique-extension
+PASS: gdb.base/startup-with-shell.exp: touch /home/pedro/gdb2/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/startup-with-shell/unique-file.unique-extension

Since the run_args arguments are already shown in the test prefix, we
can change the "set args" test name to literally "set args $run_args".
I.e., after this commit we'll show:
PASS: gdb.base/startup-with-shell.exp: startup_with_shell = on; run_args = *.unique-extension: set args $run_args
PASS: gdb.base/startup-with-shell.exp: startup_with_shell = off; run_args = *.unique-extension: set args $run_args

* gdb.base/startup-with-shell.exp ('touch $unique_file'): Don't

(initial_setup_simple) <'set args'>: Use custom test name.
The [wait -i $gdb_spawn_id] in the test is dangerous in the sense that
it won't be subject to timeout logic. So if GDB fails quiting, this
testcase hangs forever, hanging the test run with it. See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00728.html
Instead of 'wait'ing directly, use gdb_test_multiple and expect 'eof'.
Tested that the testcase no longer hangs by hacking the test to send
"info threads" instead of "quit".
Tested with
--target_board={unix, native-gdbserver,native-extended-gdbserver}
and tested with
--host_board=local-remote-host
as well.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-10-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/quit.exp: Use gdb_test_multiple and expect 'eof' before
'wait -i'. Use gdb_assert and remote_close.
Comparing test results between
--target_board=native-gdbserver
--target_board=native-stdio-gdbserver
I noticed that gdb.base/bigcore.exp is failing with native-stdio-gdbserver:
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/bigcore.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.base/bigcore.exp: continue (timeout)
...
The problem is that:
1. When debugging with "target remote | CMD", the inferior's
stdout/stderr streams are connected to a pipe.
2. The bigcore.c program prints a lot to the screen before it
reaches the breakpoint location that the "continue" shown above
wants to reach.
3. GDB is not flushing the inferior's output pipe while the inferior
is running.
4. The pipe becomes full.
5. The inferior thus deadlocks.
The bug is #3 above, which is what this commit fixes. A new test is
added, that specifically exercises this scenario. The test fails
before the fix, and passes after, and gdb.base/bigcore.exp also starts
passing.

In my multi-target branch, I had managed to break GDB exiting
successfuly in response to "quit" or SIGHUP/SIGTERM when:
- you're debugging with "target extended-remote",
- have more than one inferior loaded in gdb, some running, and at
least one not running, and,
- quit gdb with the inferior that is not running yet selected.
The testsuite still passed cleanly anyway. I only noticed because I
was left with a bunch of core dumps in the gdb/testsuite/ directory --
the testsuite infrastructure closes GDB's pty after running each
testcase, which results in GDB getting a SIGHUP and should make GDB
exit gracefully. If GDB crashes at that point though, there's no
indication about it in gdb.sum/gdb.log.
This commit adds a multitude of tests exercising quitting GDB with
live inferiors, some of which would have caught the problem.

* gdb.base/quit-live.c: New file.

These tests want to use raw "run", so skip them on targets that can't
do that.
Also adds a small utility procedure that clearly conveys intent instead of
explicitly checking use_gdb_stub in the testcases.
This makes sure these testcases continue to be skipped with
--target_board=native-gdbserver once that board stops setting
is_remote.

The problem is that the testcase relies on stdio. While we could fix
this for gdbserver by read output from inferior_spawn_id, a better fix
it to not rely on stdio at all. That's what this commit does.
Instead, it reads variables off of the inferior to extract the
necessary information.
Along the way, most of the .exp file is reimplemented/cleaned up using
more modern mechanisms. E.g., with_test_prefix, proc_with_prefix,
save_vars, etc. Also, a missing check for "is_remote host" is added.

This commit makes --target_board=native-gdbserver (and in principle
all other is_remote boards) pass all the same gdb.base/scope.exp tests
as native testing.
I first wrote the gdb.base/scope.exp change described in the ChangeLog
below and in the new comments in the patch, knowing that gdb_file_cmd
was the right thing to use here.
However, that revealed that the native-extended-gdbserver board should
be overriding gdb_file_cmd+gdb_reload instead of gdb_load, as is
hinted at by the comments on top of the default implementations in
testsuite/lib/gdb.exp, because otherwise a gdb_run_cmd after
gdb_file_cmd misses setting "set remote exec-file". However, if we do
that and remove gdb_load, then we regress gdb.base/dbx.exp, so for now
keep the gdb_load override as well.

* gdb.base/label.exp: Remove is_remote target check.
Currently we get:
Running .../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/auxv.exp ...
WARNING: can't generate a core file - core tests suppressed - check ulimit -c
After this commit we get all the same PASSes as when native testing.
The problem is that the testcase wants to create a core dump in a
temporary directory and it is using the "cd" command to start the
inferior with that directory as current directory, but that command
only affects the inferior's cwd when native debugging. Fix it by
using using the new "set cwd" command instead, which works with
gdbserver as well.
This still won't work with stub-like targets, because with those when
we connect the inferior is already running. It'd be possible to make
it work by making the inferior itself change dirs, but we'll need to
make the native-gdbserver board no longer set is_remote first.

* gdb.base/auvx.exp (coredir): Update comment.

Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>
* gdb.base/catch-fork-static.exp: No longer skip on is_remote
target boards.
This gets rid of a number of FAILs with
--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver.
The fact that checkpointing does not work has nothing to do with
dejagnu's native and remote concepts. It only works with native Linux
targets because the implementation is currently baked with
linux-nat.c.

2017-10-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>
* gdb.base/checkpoint.exp: Don't check is_remote or isnative.
Instead skip if there's any gdb_protocol set.
1. is_remote is not the right check.
2. Both Simon & Pedro ran it continuously for some time against
native-gdbserver and didn't see a failure.
3. The test has been running against native-extended-gdbserver anyway.

* gdb.base/dprintf-non-stop.exp: Remove is_remote target check.
Check for gdbserver instead of dejagnu remote. Unlike what the
comment says, the test actually fails with target remote + gdbserver
(it does pass with extended-remote). The result is:
FAIL -> KFAIL with --target_board=native-gdbserver
KPASS -> PASS with --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver

Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>
* gdb.base/argv0-symlink.exp: kfail on remote gdbserver,
instead of on dejagnu remote boards.
We support follow-fork in the remote protocol nowadays.
Also, the right way to enable non-stop mode is to do it before
connecting, and for use_gdb_stub boards, that means we have to do it
at gdb_load time. The "modern" pattern for that is to pass non-stop
in GDBFLAGS.
This makes the test pass with --target_board=native-gdbserver.

2017-10-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>
* gdb.base/inferior-died.exp: Remove is_remote and isnative
checks. Use build_executable + clean_restart instead of
prepare_for_testing. Pass "set non-stop on" via GDBFLAGS instead
of enabling non-stop after starting gdb.
Fix a typo introduced in commit c56e7c4390 ("Make ctxobj.exp and
print-file-var.exp work on all platforms.").
This doesn't really affect the outcome of the testcase. I only
noticed the typo because I stepped through the program manually.
To avoid such problems if the test is extended, this moves the STOP
marker until after the program self-validates the values. With the
typo in place, this alone would have resulted in a test FAIL. I.e.,
it'd have caught the typo.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-10-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/print-file-var-main.c: Fix get_version_2 value check
logic. Move STOP marker after the value checks.
* gdb.base/print-file-var.exp (continue to STOP marker): Tighten
regexp.
This cleans up a number of interfaces in dfp.c / dfp.h. Specifically:
- The decimal_from_string / decimal_to_string routines are C++-ified
to operate on std::string instead of character buffers. In the
decimal_from_string, the boolean return value now actually is bool
instead of an int.
- The decimal_from_integral and decimal_from_doublest routines take
an struct value as input. This is not really appropriate at the low
level the DFP routines sit, so this replaced them with new routines
decimal_from_longest / decimal_from_ulongest / decimal_from_doublest
that operate on contents instead.
- To mirror the decimal_from_[u]longest, a new decimal_to_longest
routine is added as well, which can be used in unpack_long to
avoid an unnecessary conversion via DOUBLEST.
Note that the decimal_from_longest / decimal_from_ulongest routines
are actually more powerful than decimal_from_integral: the old routine
would only accept integer *types* of at most four bytes size, while
the new routines accept all integer *values* that fit in an [u]int32_t,
no matter which type they came from. The DFP tests are updated to
allow for this larger range of integers that can be converted.

This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.
The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that the remote inferior will use. There is a slight difference from
the packet proposed by LLDB: GDB's version will accept empty
arguments, meaning that the user wants to clear the previously set
working directory for the inferior (i.e., "set cwd" without arguments
on GDB).
For UNIX-like targets this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, and all gdbserver has to do is to basically
implement "set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.
For other targets, like Windows, it is possible to use the existing
"get_inferior_cwd" function and do the necessary steps to make sure
that the inferior will use the specified working directory.
Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) and the
documentation.
No regressions found.

This commit adds new "set/show cwd" commands, which are used to
set/show the current working directory of the inferior that will be
started.
The idea here is that "set cwd" will become the de facto way of
setting the inferior's cwd. Currently, the user can use "cd" for
that, but there are side effects: with "cd", GDB also switches to
another directory, and that can impact the loading of scripts and
other files. With "set cwd", we separate the logic into a new
command.
To maintain backward compatibility, if the user issues a "cd" command
but doesn't use "set cwd", then the inferior's cwd will still be
changed according to what the user specified. However, "set cwd" has
precedence over "cd", so it can always be used to override it.
"set cwd" works in the following way:
- If the user sets the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", then this
directory is saved into current_inferior ()->cwd and is used when
the inferior is started (see below).
- If the user doesn't set the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", but
rather use the "cd" command as before, then this directory is
inherited by the inferior because GDB will have chdir'd into it.
On Unix-like hosts, the way the directory is changed before the
inferior execution is by expanding the user set directory before the
fork, and then "chdir" after the call to fork/vfork on
"fork_inferior", but before the actual execution. On Windows, the
inferior cwd set by the user is passed directly to the CreateProcess
call, which takes care of the actual chdir for us.
This way, we'll make sure that GDB's cwd is not affected by the user
set cwd.

Currently, with an ambiguous "list first,last", we get:
(gdb) list bar,main
Specified first line 'bar' is ambiguous:
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98
This commit makes gdb's output above a bit clearer by printing the
symbol name as well:
(gdb) list bar,main
Specified first line 'bar' is ambiguous:
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97, symbol: "bar(A)"
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98, symbol: "bar(B)"
And while at it, makes gdb print the symbol name when actually listing
multiple locations too. I.e., before (with "set listsize 2"):
(gdb) list bar
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97
96
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
98 int bar (B) { return 22; }
After:
(gdb) list bar
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97, symbol: "bar(A)"
96
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98, symbol: "bar(B)"
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
98 int bar (B) { return 22; }
Currently, the result of decoding a linespec loses information about
the original symbol that was found. All we end up with is an address.
This makes it difficult to find the original symbol again to get at
its print name. Fix that by storing a pointer to the symbol in the
sal. We already store the symtab and obj_section, so it feels like a
natural progression to me. This avoids having to do any extra symbol
lookup too.

* gdb.cp/overload.exp ("list all overloads"): Likewise.
The "list" command allows specifying the name of variables as
argument, not just functions, so that users can type "list
a_global_variable".
That support is a broken when it comes to ambiguous locations though.
If there's more than one such global variable in the program, e.g.,
static globals in different compilation units, GDB ends up listing the
source of the first variable it finds, only.
linespec.c does find both symbol and minsym locations for all the
globals. The problem is that it ends up merging all the resulting
sals into one, because they all have address, zero. I.e., all sals
end up with sal.pc == 0, so maybe_add_address returns false for all
but the first.
The zero addresses appear because:
- in the minsyms case, linespec.c:minsym_found incorrectly treats all
minsyms as if they were function/text symbols. In list mode we can
end up with data symbols there, and we shouldn't be using
find_pc_sect_line on data symbols.
- in the debug symbols case, symbol_to_sal misses recording an address
(sal.pc) for non-block, non-label symbols.

(gdb) ptype mult

Change extract_arg to return a std::string and fix up all the users.
I think string is mildly better than unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>, when
possible, because it provides a more robust API.
I changed the error messages emitted from find_location_by_number to
avoid either writing to a string or an extra allocation; this can be
changed but I thought that the new message was not any less clear.
You can see an example in the testsuite patch.

PR gdb/22010 concerns a regression I introduced with the scalar
printing changes. The bug is that this code in sizeof.exp:
set signof_byte [get_integer_valueof "'\\377'" -1]
can incorrectly compute sizeof_byte. One underlying problem here is
that gdb's C parser doesn't treat a char constant as an int (this is
PR 19973).
However, it seems good to have an immediate fix for the regression.
The simplest is to cast to an int here.
testsuite/ChangeLog
2017-09-05 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
PR gdb/22010:
* gdb.base/sizeof.exp (check_valueof): Cast char constant to int.
An earlier commit made GDB no longer assume no-debug-info functions
return int. This commit gives the same treatment to variables.
Currently, you can end misled by GDB over output like this:
(gdb) p var
$1 = -1
(gdb) p /x var
$2 = 0xffffffff
until you realize that GDB is assuming that the variable is an "int",
because:
(gdb) ptype var
type = <data variable, no debug info>
You may try to fix it by casting, but that doesn't really help:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
^^
That's incorrect output, because the variable was defined like this:
uint64_t var = 0x7fffffffffffffff;
^^
What happened is that with the cast, GDB did an int -> 'unsigned long
long' conversion instead of reinterpreting the variable as the cast-to
type. To get at the variable properly you have to reinterpret the
variable's address manually instead, with either:
(gdb) p /x *(unsigned long long *) &var
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
(gdb) p /x {unsigned long long} &var
$5 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
After this commit GDB does it for you. This is what you'll get
instead:
(gdb) p var
'var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$1 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
As in the functions patch, the "compile" machinery doesn't currently
have the cast-to type handy, so it continues assuming no-debug
variables have int type, though now at least it warns.
The change to gdb.cp/m-static.exp deserves an explanation:
- gdb_test "print 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
+ gdb_test "print (int) 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
That's printing the "sintvar" function local static of the
"gnu_obj_1::method()" method.
The problem with that test is that that "'S::method()::static_var'"
syntax doesn't really work in C++ as you'd expect. The way to make it
work correctly currently is to quote the method part, not the whole
expression, like:
(gdb) print 'gnu_obj_1::method()'::sintvar
If you wrap the whole expression in quotes, like in m-static.exp, what
really happens is that the parser considers the whole string as a
symbol name, but there's no debug symbol with that name. However,
local statics have linkage and are given a mangled name that demangles
to the same string as the full expression, so that's what GDB prints.
After this commit, and without the cast, the print in m-static.exp
would error out saying that the variable has unknown type:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
TBC, if currently (even before this series) you try to print any
function local static variable of type other than int, you'll get
bogus results. You can see that with m-static.cc as is, even.
Printing the "svar" local, which is a boolean (1 byte) still prints as
"int" (4 bytes):
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
$1 = 1
(gdb) ptype 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
type = <data variable, no debug info>
This probably prints some random bogus value on big endian machines.
If 'svar' was of some aggregate type (etc.) we'd still print it as
int, so the problem would have been more obvious... After this
commit, you'll get instead:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
... so at least GDB is no longer misleading. Making GDB find the real
local static debug symbol is the subject of the following patches. In
the end, it'll all "Just Work".

The patch to make GDB stop assuming functions return int left GDB with
an inconsistency. While with normal expression evaluation the
"unknown return type" error shows the name of the function that misses
debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which is handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
This commit builds on the new OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE to fix it, by making
OP_FUNCALL extract the function name from the symbol stored in
OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE. We now get the same error in "print"
vs "ptype":
(gdb) ptype getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type

* gdb.base/nodebug.exp: Test that ptype's error about functions
with unknown return type includes the function name too.
The fact that GDB defaults to assuming that functions return int, when
it has no debug info for the function has been a recurring source of
user confusion. Recently this came up on the errno pretty printer
discussions. Shortly after, it came up again on IRC, with someone
wondering why does getenv() in GDB return a negative int:
(gdb) p getenv("PATH")
$1 = -6185
This question (with s/getenv/random-other-C-runtime-function) is a FAQ
on IRC.
The reason for the above is:
(gdb) p getenv
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x7ffff7751d80 <getenv>
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = int ()
... which means that GDB truncated the 64-bit pointer that is actually
returned from getent to 32-bit, and then sign-extended it:
(gdb) p /x -6185
$6 = 0xffffe7d7
The workaround is to cast the function to the right type, like:
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH")
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
IMO, we should do better than this.
I see the "assume-int" issue the same way I see printing bogus values
for optimized-out variables instead of "<optimized out>" -- I'd much
rather that the debugger tells me "I don't know" and tells me how to
fix it than showing me bogus misleading results, making me go around
tilting at windmills.
If GDB prints a signed integer when you're expecting a pointer or
aggregate, you at least have some sense that something is off, but
consider the case of the function actually returning a 64-bit integer.
For example, compile this without debug info:
unsigned long long
function ()
{
return 0x7fffffffffffffff;
}
Currently, with pristine GDB, you get:
(gdb) p function ()
$1 = -1 # incorrect
(gdb) p /x function ()
$2 = 0xffffffff # incorrect
maybe after spending a few hours debugging you suspect something is
wrong with that -1, and do:
(gdb) ptype function
type = int ()
and maybe, just maybe, you realize that the function actually returns
unsigned long long. And you try to fix it with:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
... which still produces the wrong result, because GDB simply applied
int to unsigned long long conversion. Meaning, it sign-extended the
integer that it extracted from the return of the function, to 64-bits.
and then maybe, after asking around on IRC, you realize you have to
cast the function to a pointer of the right type, and call that. It
won't be easy, but after a few missteps, you'll get to it:
..... (gdb) p /x ((unsigned long long(*) ()) function) ()
$666 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # finally! :-)
So to improve on the user experience, this patch does the following
(interrelated) things:
- makes no-debug-info functions no longer default to "int" as return
type. Instead, they're left with NULL/"<unknown return type>"
return type.
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = <unknown return type> ()
- makes calling a function with unknown return type an error.
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
- and then to make it easier to call the function, makes it possible
to _only_ cast the return of the function to the right type,
instead of having to cast the function to a function pointer:
(gdb) p (char *) getenv ("PATH") # now Just Works
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH") # continues working
$4 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
I.e., it makes GDB default the function's return type to the type
of the cast, and the function's parameters to the type of the
arguments passed down.
After this patch, here's what you'll get for the "unsigned long long"
example above:
(gdb) p function ()
'function' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # correct!
Note that while with "print" GDB shows the name of the function that
has the problem:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This will be fixed in the next patch.

Calling a prototyped function via a function pointer with the right
prototype doesn't work correctly, if the called function requires
argument coercion... Like, e.g., with:
float mult (float f1, float f2) { return f1 * f2; }
(gdb) p mult (2, 3.5)
$1 = 7
(gdb) p ((float (*) (float, float)) mult) (2, 3.5)
$2 = 0
both calls should have returned the same, of course. The problem is
that GDB misses marking the type of the function pointer target as
prototyped...
Without the fix, the new test fails like this:
(gdb) p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)
$30 = 0
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/callfuncs.exp: p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)

(loop_break_test, loop_continue_test): New procedures.
When using "if" (or while) without args directly on gdb's command line,
you get this:

if/while commands require arguments
When doing the same when entering a command list, you only get an error
when the command is executed, when parse_exp_in_context_1 fails to
evaluate the expression.
(gdb) define foo
Type commands for definition of "foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>if
>end
>end
(gdb) foo
Argument required (expression to compute).
I think it would make more sense to error out when inputting the command
list directly:
(gdb) define foo
Type commands for definition of "foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>if
if/while commands require arguments.
The only required change is to check whether args is an empty string in
build_command_line.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

(define_if_without_arg_test): New procedure.
Currently, with "list LINESPEC1,LINESPEC2", if one of the linespecs is
ambiguous, i.e., if it expands to multiple locations, you get this
seemingly odd output:
(gdb) list foo,bar
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
Since "foo" above expands to multiple locations, the specified range
is indeterminate, and GDB is trying to be helpful by showing you what
was ambiguous. It looks confusing to me, though. I think it'd be
much more user friendly if GDB actually told you that, like this:
(gdb) list foo,bar
Specified first line 'foo' is ambiguous:
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
(gdb) list bar,foo
Specified last line 'foo' is ambiguous:
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
Note, I'm using "first" and "last" in the output because that's what
the manual uses:
~~~
list first,last
Print lines from first to last. [...]

This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

Commit
Command names: make them case sensitive
3d7b173c29
made command name lookup case sensitive. However, define_command, used
when creating a user-defined command, converts the command name to
lowercase, assuming that the command name lookup works in a case
insensitive way. This causes user-defined commands with capital letters
in their name to only be callable with a lowercase version:
(gdb) define Foo
Type commands for definition of "Foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>print 1
>end
(gdb) Foo
Undefined command: "Foo". Try "help".
(gdb) foo
$1 = 1
This patch removes that conversion to lowercase, so that the user can
call the command with the same name they provided.

* cli/cli-script.c (define_command): Don't convert command name
to lower case.

This patch improves GDB support for function aliases defined with
__attribute__ alias. For example, in the test added by this commit,
there is no reference to "func_alias" in the debug info at all, only
to "func"'s definition:
$ nm ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep " func"
00000000004005ae t func
00000000004005ae T func_alias
$ readelf -w ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep func -B 1 -A 8
<1><db>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<dc> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x111): func
<e0> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<e1> DW_AT_decl_line : 27
<e2> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<e2> DW_AT_type : <0xf8>
<e6> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4005ae
<ee> DW_AT_high_pc : 0xb
<f6> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<f8> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
So all GDB knows about "func_alias" is from the minsym (elf symbol):
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func_alias
type = int ()
(gdb) p func
$2 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func
type = struct S {
int field1;
int field2;
} *(void)
The result is that calling func_alias from the command line produces
incorrect results.
This is similar (though not exactly the same) to the glibc
errno/__errno_location/__GI___errno_location situation. On glibc,
errno is defined like this:
extern int *__errno_location (void);
#define errno (*__errno_location ())
with __GI___errno_location being an internal alias for
__errno_location. On my system's libc (F23), I do see debug info for
__errno_location, in the form of name vs linkage name:
<1><95a5>: Abbrev Number: 18 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<95a6> DW_AT_external : 1
<95a6> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2c26): __errno_location

however that doesn't matter in practice, because GDB doesn't record
demangled names anyway, and so we end up with the exact same situation
covered by the testcase.
So the fix is to make the expression parser find a debug symbol for
the same address as the just-found minsym, when a lookup by name
didn't find a debug symbol by name. We now get:
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) p __errno_location
$2 = {int *(void)} 0x7ffff6e92830 <__errno_location>
I've made the test exercise variable aliases too, for completeness.
Those already work correctly, because unlike for function aliases, GCC
emits debug information for variable aliases.
Tested on GNU/Linux.

(Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2017-06/msg00020.html)
Assuming int_t is a typedef to int:
typedef int int_t;
gdb currently loses this expression's typedef:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
$1 = 0
(gdb) whatis $1
type = int
or:
(gdb) whatis (int_t) 0
type = int
or, to get "whatis" out of the way:
(gdb) maint print type (int_t) 0
...
name 'int'
code 0x8 (TYPE_CODE_INT)
...
This prevents a type printer for "int_t" kicking in, with e.g.:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
From the manual, we can see that that "whatis (int_t) 0" command
invocation should have printed "type = int_t":
If @var{arg} is a variable or an expression, @code{whatis} prints its
literal type as it is used in the source code. If the type was
defined using a @code{typedef}, @code{whatis} will @emph{not} print
the data type underlying the @code{typedef}.
(...)
If @var{arg} is a type name that was defined using @code{typedef},
@code{whatis} @dfn{unrolls} only one level of that @code{typedef}.
That one-level stripping is currently done here, in
gdb/eval.c:evaluate_subexp_standard, handling OP_TYPE:
...
else if (noside == EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS)
{
struct type *type = exp->elts[pc + 1].type;
/* If this is a typedef, then find its immediate target. We
use check_typedef to resolve stubs, but we ignore its
result because we do not want to dig past all
typedefs. */
check_typedef (type);
if (TYPE_CODE (type) == TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF)
type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
return allocate_value (type);
}
However, this stripping is reachable in both:
#1 - (gdb) whatis (int_t)0 # ARG is an expression with a cast to
# typedef type.
#2 - (gdb) whatis int_t # ARG is a type name.
while only case #2 should strip the typedef. Removing that code from
evaluate_subexp_standard is part of the fix. Instead, we make the
"whatis" command implementation itself strip one level of typedefs
when the command argument is a type name.
We then run into another problem, also fixed by this commit:
value_cast always drops any typedefs of the destination type.
With all that fixed, "whatis (int_t) 0" now works as expected:
(gdb) whatis int_t
type = int
(gdb) whatis (int_t)0
type = int_t
value_cast has many different exit/convertion paths, for handling many
different kinds of casts/conversions, and most of them had to be
tweaked to construct the value of the right "to" type. The new tests
try to exercise most of it, by trying castin of many different
combinations of types. With:
$ make check TESTS="*/whatis-ptype*.exp */gnu_vector.exp */dfp-test.exp"
... due to combinatorial explosion, the testsuite results for the
tests above alone grow like:
- # of expected passes 246
+ # of expected passes 3811
You'll note that the tests exposed one GCC buglet, filed here:

When I made commit 9a6c7d9c02, which
C++-fied gdb/common/environ.[ch], I mistakenly altered the behaviour
of the 'unset environment' command. This command, which should delete
all environment variables, is now resetting the list of variables to
the state they were when GDB was started.

One type of regression is due to not carrying over the old handling of

point number to first be cast to a signed integer. This patch restores
this behavior.
The other regression is a longstanding bug in print_octal_chars: one of

asserts to help catch this sort of error.

This problem can be fixed by
- either each prologue analyzer doesn't throw exception,
- or catch the exception thrown from gdbarch_skip_prologue,
I choose the latter because the former needs to fix *every* prologue
analyzer to not throw exception.
This error can be reproduced by changing reread.exp. The test reread.exp
has already test that breakpoint can be reset correctly after the

Profiling GDB with the rest of series applied, I saw calls to
language_def showing up high in some runs. The problem is that
language_def is O(N) currently, since walk the languages vector each
time to find the matching language_defn.
IMO, the add_language mechanism is pointless, because "enum language"
implies the core of GDB needs to know about all languages anyway. So
simply make the languages vector array be an array where each
element's index is the corresponding enum language enumerator. Note
that "local_language_defn" is gone along the way. It's just a copy of
"auto", so the new code simply maps one to the other. One fewer place
to update when we need to change the language vector...
Also, a while ago the output of "set language" was made out of order
as side effect of some other change. While I was at it, I made them
sorted again.

This test is using "set language ada" expecting that to cause GDB to
do Ada symbol name matching. That won't work when GDB uses the
symbol's language to decide which symbol matching algorithm to use,
because the test's symbols are C symbols.
So generalize the test a bit to not rely on Ada name matching rules.

Continuing the theme of the explicit locations patch, this patch gets
rid of the need for quoting function names in linespec TAB completion.
To recap, when you have overloads in your program, and you want to set
a breakpoint in one of them:
void function(int); // set breakpoint here.
void function(long);
(gdb) b function(i[TAB]
<all the symbols in the program that start with "i" are uselessly shown...>
This patch gets rid of the need for quoting by switching the linespec
completer to use the custom completion word point mechanism added in
the previous explicit location patch (extending it as needed), to
correctly determine the right completion word point. In the case
above, we want the completer to figure out that it's completing a
function name that starts with "function(i", and it now does.
We also want the completer to know when it's potentially completing a
source file name, for:
(gdb) break source.[TAB] -> source.c:
(gdb) break source.c: # Type line number or function name now
And we want it to know to complete label names, which it doesn't today:
(gdb) break function:lab[TAB]
etc., etc.
So what we want is for completion to grok the input string as closely
to how the linespec parser groks it.
With that in mind, the solution suggests itself - make the linespec
completer use the same parsing code as normal linespec parsing.
That's what the patch does. The old completer is replaced by one that
reuses the actual linespec parser as much as possible. This (ideally)
eliminate differences between what completion understands and actually
setting breakpoints understands by design.
The completer now offers sensible completion candidates depending on
which component of the linespec is being completed, source filename,
function, line number, expression, and (a new addition), labels. For
example, when completing the function part, we now show the full name
of the method as completion candidates, instead of showing whatever
comes after what readline considered the word break character:
(gdb) break klass::method[TAB]
klass:method1(int)
klass:method2()
If input is past the function, then we now offer keyword condidates:
(gdb) b function(int) [TAB]
if task thread
If input is past a keyword, we offer expression completion, which is
different from linespec completion:
(gdb) b main if 1 + glo[TAB]
global
(e.g., completes on types, struct data fields, etc.)
As mentioned, this teaches the linespec completer about completing
label symbols too:
(gdb) b source.c:function:lab[TAB]
A nice convenience is that when completion uniquely matches a source
name, gdb adds the ":" automatically for you:
(gdb) b filenam[TAB]
(gdb) b filename.c: # ':' auto-added, cursor right after it.
It's the little details. :-)
I worked on this patch in parallel with writing the (big) testcase
added closer to the end of the series, which exercises many many
tricky cases around quoting and whitespace insertion placement. In
general, I think it now all Just Works.

This commit fixes a mismatch between what "print" command completer
thinks the command understands, and what the command actually
understands.
The explicit location options are understood by commands that take
(linespecs and) explicit locations as argument. I.e, breakpoint
commands, and "list". For example:
(gdb) b -source file.c -function my_func
So for those commands, it makes sense that the completer
completes:
"b -sour[TAB]" -> "b -source "
"b -functi[TAB]" -> "b -function "
etc.
However, completion for commands that take expressions (not
linespecs/locations) as arguments, such as the "print" command, also
completes the explicit location options, even though those switches
aren't really understood by these commands. Instead, "-foo" is
understood as an expression applying unary minus on a symbol named
"foo" (think "print -1"):
(gdb) p -func[TAB]
(gdb) p -function [RET]
No symbol "function" in current context.
The patch fixes this by having the expression_completer function
bypass the function that completes explicit locations.
New regression tests included.

Fix issue exposed by commit 3e29f34.
The basic issue is that section data referenced through an objfile
pointer can also be referenced via the program-space data pointer,
although via a separate mapping mechanism, which is set up by
update_section_map. Thus once section data attached to an objfile
pointer is released, the section map associated with the program-space
data pointer must be marked dirty to ensure that update_section_map is
called to prevent stale data being referenced. For the matter at hand
this marking is being done via a call to objfiles_changed.
Before commit 3e29f34 objfiles_changed could be called after all of
the objfile pointers were processed in reread_symbols since section
data references via the program-space data pointer would not occur in
the calls of read_symbols performed by reread_symbols.
With commit 3e29f34 MIPS target specific calls to find_pc_section were
added to the code for DWARF information processing, which is called
via read_symbols. Thus in reread_symbols the call to objfiles_changed
needs to be called before calling read_symbols, otherwise stale
section data can be referenced.
Thanks to Luis Machado for providing text for the main comment
associated with the change.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

When we add alias command, we call add_alias_cmd and pass the alias name
and command name. This implicitly requires the command and its prefix
commands are already added to cmdlist. This may not be true, for example,
add_com_alias ("tty", "set inferior-tty", class_alias, 0);
"inferior-tty" command is added to setlist, but setlist may not be added
to cmdlist (It depends on the order of related _initialize_XXX functions
called) so that we can't find "set inferior-tty" from cmdlist.
This patch fixes this problem by passing cmd_list_element of "inferior-tty"
to add_alias_cmd, so that cmd_list_element of "inferior-tty" doesn't have
to be reachable from cmdlist at that moment.

This has been on my TODO list for a while. There's a really old bug
about this (PR testsuite/8595), and there was no reason for
environ.exp to be specific for hppa* targets. So this patch removes
this constraint, modernizes the testcase, and cleans up some things.
Most of the tests remained, and some were rewritten (especially the
one that checks if "show environment" works, which is something kind
of hard to do).
As a bonus, I'm adding a separated info-program.exp file containing
all the tests related to "info program" that were present on
environ.exp.
Tested locally, everything still passes.

I noticed that backslash_in_multi_line_command_test in
gdb.base/commands.exp failed on our RHEL6 servers. I traced it to the
old version of DejaGnu (1.4.4). I have found that instead of receiving
the expected:
"print \\\nargc\n"
gdb received:
"print argc\n"
thus breaking the test and its purpose. Versionof DejaGnu < 1.5 mess
up sending "\\\n", it somehow gets replaced with a space. I found that
the following commit in DejaGnu fixed the issue:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dejagnu.git/commit/lib/remote.exp?id=3f39294f5cd6802858838d3bcc0ccce847ae17f2
Even though the commit is almost 10 years old, the following release of
DejaGnu was only in 2013, which is why we still have systems with the
old code.
If the DejaGnu version is < 1.5, we just skip the test.

With commit 3b12939dfc ("Replace the sync_execution global with a
new enum prompt_state tristate"), GDB started aborting if you try
splitting an input line with a continuation char (backslash) while in
a multi-line command:
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
>print \
(gdb) 1 # note "(gdb)" incorrectly printed here.
>end
readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
$
That abort is actually a symptom of an old problem introduced when
gdb_readline_wrapper was rewritten to use asynchronous readline, back
in 2007. Note how the "(gdb)" prompt is printed above in the "(gdb)
1" line. Clearly it shouldn't be there, but it already was before the
commit mentioned above. Fixing that also fixes the readline abort
shown above.
The problem starts when command_line_input passes a NULL prompt to
gdb_readline_wrapper when it finds previous incomplete input due to a
backslash, trying to fetch more input without printing another ">"
secondary prompt. That itself should not be a problem, because
passing NULL to gdb_readline_wrapper has the same meaning as passing a
pointer to empty string, since gdb_readline_wrapper exposes the same
interface as 'readline(char *)'. However, gdb_readline_wrapper passes
the prompt argument directly to display_gdb_prompt, and for the
latter, a NULL prompt argument has a different meaning - it requests
printing the primary prompt.
Before commit 782a7b8ef9c096 (which rewrote gdb_readline_wrapper to
use asynchronous readline), GDB behaved like this:
(gdb) commands
[....]
>print \
1
>end
(gdb)
The above is what this commit restores GDB back to.
New test included.

The problem is simply that the commit mentioned above made the ui_file
that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated
string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file. The

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00261.html
This patch restricts queries to the main UI, which allows to avoid two
different problems.
The first one is that GDB is issuing queries on secondary MI channels
for which a TTY is allocated. The second one is that GDB is not able to
handle queries on two (CLI) UIs simultaneously. Restricting queries to
the main UI allows to bypass these two problems.
More details on how/why these two problems happen:
1. Queries on secondary MI UI
The current criterion to decide if we should query the user is whether
the input stream is a TTY. The original way to start GDB in MI mode
from a front-end was to create a subprocess with pipes to its
stdin/stdout. In this case, the input was considered non-interactive
and queries were auto-answered. Now that front-ends can create the MI
channel as a separate UI connected to a dedicated TTY, GDB now
considers this input stream as interactive and sends queries to it.
By restricting queries to the main UI, we make sure we never query on
the secondary MI UI.
2. Simultaneous queries
As Pedro stated it, when you have two queries on two different CLI UIs
at the same time, you end up with the following pseudo stack:
#0 gdb_readline_wrapper
#1 defaulted_query // for UI #2#2 handle_command
#3 execute_command ("handle SIGTRAP" ....
#4 stdin_event_handler // input on UI #2#5 gdb_do_one_event
#7 gdb_readline_wrapper
#8 defaulted_query // for UI #1#9 handle_command
#10 execute_command ("handle SIGINT" ....
#11 stdin_event_handler // input on UI #1#12 gdb_do_one_event
#13 gdb_readline_wrapper
trying to answer the query on UI #1 will therefore answer for UI #2.
By restricting the queries to the main UI, we ensure that there will
never be more than one pending query, since you can't have two queries
on a UI at the same time.
I added a snippet to gdb.base/new-ui.exp to verify that we get a query
on the main UI, but that we don't on the secondary one (or, more
precisely, that it gets auto-answered).

* utils.c (defaulted_query): Don't query on secondary UIs.

Currently, the breakpoint documentation refers to some commands taking breakpoint

be ranges. I also fixed a couple of minor mistakes in the docs.

These failures don't show up with gdbserver or native gdb on Linux because
they don't export any memory maps, therefore the vector of memory regions is
empty.
Outside of that scenario, we can't guarantee the absence of memory regions
reported by the target upon a connection. In our particular target, we
provide a memory map and the memory regions vector ceases to be empty.
With a non-empty memory regions vector, manipulating memory regions will cause
gdb to be more verbose and output text. For example:
memattr.c:require_user_regions
/* Otherwise, let the user know how to get back. */
if (from_tty)
warning (_("Switching to manual control of memory regions; use "
"\"mem auto\" to fetch regions from the target again."));
memattr.c:create_mem_region
if ((lo >= n->lo && (lo < n->hi || n->hi == 0))
|| (hi > n->lo && (hi <= n->hi || n->hi == 0))
|| (lo <= n->lo && ((hi >= n->hi && n->hi != 0) || hi == 0)))
{
printf_unfiltered (_("overlapping memory region\n"));
return;
}
In my particular case i got both of the above messages.
In order to fix this, i've moved the delete_memory proc from
gdb.base/memattr.exp to a new file lib/memory.exp and made lib/gdb.exp
load that file.
For both gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp and gdb.base/memattr.exp the
patch clears all existing memory regions after running to main. That way we
are guaranteed to have a clean state for memory regions so the tests can
exercise whatever they want and have an expected output pattern.

Hi,
GDB calls some APIs from opcodes to do disassembly and provide some
call backs. This model makes troubles on C++ exception unwinding,
because GDB is a C++ program, and opcodes is still compiled as C.
As we can see, frame #10 and #12 are C++, while #frame 11 is C,
#10 0x0000000000544228 in memory_error (err=TARGET_XFER_E_IO, memaddr=<optimized out>) at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/corefile.c:237
#11 0x00000000006b0a54 in print_insn_aarch64 (pc=0, info=0xffffffffeeb0) at ../../binutils-gdb/opcodes/aarch64-dis.c:3185
#12 0x0000000000553590 in gdb_pretty_print_insn (gdbarch=gdbarch@entry=0xbbceb0, uiout=uiout@entry=0xbc73d0, di=di@entry=0xffffffffeeb0,
insn=0xffffffffed40, insn@entry=0xffffffffed90, flags=flags@entry=0,
C++ exception unwinder can't go across frame #11 unless it has
unwind table. However, C program on many architectures doesn't
have it in default. As a result, GDB aborts, which is described
in PR 20939.
This is not the first time we see this kind of problem. We've
had a commit 89525768cd
"Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH".
We can fix the disassembly bug in a similar way, this is the option one.
Since opcodes is built with gdb, we fix this problem in a different
way as we did for the same issue with readline. Instead of throwing
exception in dis_asm_memory_error, we record the failed memory
address, and throw exception when GDB returns from opcodes disassemblers.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19797
And hopefully helps catch others in the future.
This started out as a test that simply did,
gdb -ex "print 1.0L"
to exercise #1 above.
Then to cover both 32-bit target / 64-bit host and the converse, I
thought of having the testcase print the floats twice, once with the
architecture set to "i386" and then to "i386:x86-64". This way it
wouldn't matter whether gdb was built as 32-bit or a 64-bit program.
Then I thought that other archs might have similar host/target
floatformat conversion issues as well. Instead of hardcoding some
architectures in the test file, I thought we could just iterate over
all bfd architectures and OS ABIs supported by the gdb build being
tested. This is what then exposed all the other problems listed
above...
With an --enable-targets=all, this exercises over 14 thousand
combinations. If left in a single test file, it all consistenly runs
in under a minute on my machine (An Intel i7-4810MQ @ 2.8 MHZ running
Fedora 23). Split in 8 chunks, as in this commit, it runs in around
25 seconds, with make -j8.
To avoid flooding the gdb.sum file, it avoids calling "pass" on each
tested combination/iteration. I'm explicitly not implementing that by
passing an empty message to gdb_test / gdb_test_multiple, because I
still want a FAIL to be logged in gdb.sum. So instead this puts the
internal passes in the gdb.log file, only, prefixed "IPASS:", for
internal pass. TBC, if some iteration fails, it'll still show up as
FAIL in gdb.sum. If this is an approach that takes on, I can see us
extending the common bits to support it for all testcases.

New in v2:
- A few adjustments / simplifications were possible now that we
require C++11:
. Use std::unique_ptr to make the user_args_stack std::vector own
its elements:
static std::vector<std::unique_ptr<user_args>> user_args_stack;
. use vector::emplace_back to construct elements directly in the
corresponding vectors.
. use std::to_string instead of adding a gdb::to_string
replacement.
- Now includes a test.
Docs/NEWS are unchanged from v1 and have already been approved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently wrote a user-defined command that could benefit from
supporting an unlimited number of arguments:
http://palves.net/list-active-signal-handlers-with-gdb/
E.g., 'info signal-dispositions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11'
However, we currently only support up to 10 arguments passed to
user-defined commands ($arg0..$arg9).
I can't find a good reason for that, other than "old code with hard
coded limits". This patch removes that limit and modernizes the code
along the way:
- Makes the user_args struct a real C++ class that uses std::vector
for storage.
- Removes the "next" pointer from within user_args and uses a
std::vector to maintain a stack instead.
- Adds a new RAII-based scoped_user_args_level class to help
push/pop user args in the stack instead of using a cleanup.

It'd be handy to be able to iterate over command arguments in
user-defined commands, in order to support optional arguments
($arg0..$argN).
I thought I could make it work with "eval", but alas, it doesn't work
currently. E.g., with:
define test
set $i = 0
while $i < $argc
eval "print $arg%d", $i
set $i = $i + 1
end
end
we get:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = void
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = void
$3 = void
$4 = void
(gdb)
The problem is that "eval" doesn't do user-defined command arguments
substitution after expanding its own argument. This patch fixes that,
which makes the example above work:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = 1
$3 = 2
$4 = 3
(gdb)
New test included, similar the above, but also exercises expanding
$argc.
I think this is likely to simplify many scripts out there, so I'm
adding an example to the manual and mentioning it in NEWS as well.

I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical. Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle. As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).
I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order. The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.
A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.
I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect. I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.
Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail. The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order. We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.

While adding new tests to gdb.base/commands.exp, I noticed that the
file includes a bunch of individual testcases split into their own
procedures, and that none have ever been adjusted to use
with_test_prefix. Instead, each gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc
invocation takes care of including the procedure name in the test
message, in order to make sure test messages are unique.
Simon convinced me that using the procedure name as prefix is not that
bad of an idea:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00020.html
This commit adds an IMO simpler alternative to
with_test_prefix_procname added by that patch -- a new
"proc_with_prefix" convenience proc that is meant to be used in place
of "proc", and then uses it in commands.exp. Procedures defined with
this automatically run their bodies under with_test_prefix $proc_name.
Here's a sample of the resulting gdb.sum diff:
[...]

A user reported a GDB crash with TUI when trying to debug a function
with a long demangled C++ method name. It turned out that the logic for
displaying the TUI disassembly window has a bug that can cause a buffer
overrun, possibly overwriting GDB-internal data structures. In
particular, the logic performs an unguarded strcpy.
Another (harmless) bug in tui_alloc_source_buffer causes the buffer to
be two lines longer than needed. This may have made the crash appear
less frequently.

Testing a powerpc toolchain running gdbserver on the other end i noticed a
failure in gdb.base/foll-exec.exp. Turns out gdb is outputting a slightly
different pattern due to the presence of debug information.

So the output differs slightly and the testcase is actually expecting only
the second form with the "in" anchor.
This patch removes the "in" pattern and lets the test match both kinds of
output.

* gdb.base/foll-exec.exp (do_exec_tests): Make test pattern more
general.
The following testcases make GDB crash whenever an invalid sysroot is
provided, when GDB is unable to find a valid path to the symbol file:
gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp
gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp

gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp
gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp
The immediate cause of the segv is that follow_exec is passing a NULL
argument (the result of exec_file_find) to strlen.
However, the problem is deeper than that: follow_exec simply isn't
prepared for the case where sysroot translation fails to locate the
new executable. Actually all callers of exec_file_find have bugs due
to confusion between host and target pathnames. This commit attempts
to fix all that.
In terms of the testcases that were formerly segv'ing, GDB now prints
a warning but continues execution of the new program, so that the
tests now mostly FAIL instead. You could argue the FAILs are due to a
legitimate problem with the test environment setting up the sysroot
translation incorrectly.
A new representative test is added which exercises the ne wwarning
code path even with native testing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

This apparently is due to - man gcc - -fsplit-stack:
When code compiled with -fsplit-stack calls code compiled without
-fsplit-stack, there may not be much stack space available for the
latter code to run. If compiling all code, including library code,
with -fsplit-stack is not an option, then the linker can fix up these
calls so that the code compiled without -fsplit-stack always has
a large stack. Support for this is implemented in the gold linker in
GNU binutils release 2.21 and later.

This is GDB trying to print the location spec of the JIT event
breakpoint, but that's an internal breakpoint without one.
If I add a NULL check, then we see that the JIT breakpoint is now
pending (because its location has shlib_disabled set):
(gdb) maint info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
[...]
-8 jit events keep y <PENDING> inf 1
[...]
But that's incorrect. GDB should have managed to recreate the JIT
breakpoint's location for the second run. So the problem is
elsewhere.
The problem is that if the JIT loads at the same address on the second
run, we never recreate the JIT breakpoint, because we hit this early
return:
static int
jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
struct jit_program_space_data *ps_data)
{
[...]
if (ps_data->cached_code_address == addr)
return 0;
[...]
delete_breakpoint (ps_data->jit_breakpoint);
[...]
ps_data->jit_breakpoint = create_jit_event_breakpoint (gdbarch, addr);
Fix this by deleting the breakpoint and discarding the cached code
address when the objfile where the previous JIT breakpoint was found
is deleted/unloaded in the first place.
The test that was originally added for PR11094 doesn't trip on this
because:
#1 - It doesn't test the case of the JIT descriptor's address _not_
changing between reruns.
#2 - And then it doesn't do "maint info breakpoints", or really
anything with the JIT at all.
#3 - and even then, to trigger the problem the JIT descriptor needs
to be in a separate library, while the current test puts it in
the main program.
The patch extends the test to cover all combinations of these
scenarios.

I noticed that we sometimes get this:

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1
[...]

36 return 0;
(gdb) print &__jit_debug_descriptor
$2 = (struct jit_descriptor *) 0x601040 <__jit_debug_descriptor>
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1
All tests PASSed, but note the "Unsupported JIT protocol version 4"
message.
Also notice that "__jit_debug_descriptor" has the same address before
and after the rerun, while the test is built in a way that should make
that address change between runs.
The test doesn't catch any of this because it doesn't compare
before/after addresses.
And then notice the "blah 1" test messages. "blah" is clearly a WIP
message, but it should be at least "blah 2" the second time. :-)
The reason this sometimes happens is that the test recompiles the
program and expects gdb to reload it automaticallyt on "run". However,
if the original program and the new recompilation happen to be in the
same second, then gdb does not realize that the binary needs to be
reloaded. (This is an old problem out of scope of this series.) If
that happens, then GDB ends up using the wrong symbols for the program
that it spawns, reads the JIT descriptor out of the wrong address,
finds garbage, and prints that "unsupported version" notice.
Fix that in the same way gdb.base/reread.exp handles it -- by sleeping
one second before recompiling.

jit_breakpoint_re_set() is specific by trying to insert a breakpoint into the
main executable, not into a shared library. During attachment GDB thinks it
needs to use 'breakpoint always-inserted' from
breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now() as a newly attached thread is
'thread_info->executing' due to 'lwp_info->must_set_ptrace_flags' enabled and
the task not yet stopped. This did not happen before the 'bad commit' above
which adds tracking of such thread.
GDB then fails to insert the breakpoints to invalid address as PIE executable
gets properly relocated during later phase of attachment. One can see in the
backtraces below:
-> jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal()
later:
-> svr4_exec_displacement()
One can suppress the initial breakpoint_re_set() call as there will be another
breakpoint_re_set() done from the final post_create_inferior() call in
setup_inferior().
BTW additionally 'threads_executing' cache bool is somehow stale (somewhere is
missing update_threads_executing()). I was trying to deal with that in my
first/second attempt below but in my final third attempt (attached) I have
left it as it is.
First attempt trying not to falsely require 'breakpoint always-inserted':
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix1.patch
Reduced first attempt:
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix2.patch
The third attempt suppresses breakpoint insertion until PIE executable gets
relocated by svr4_exec_displacement(). Applied.

If you run an infcall from the command line, and immediately after run

the infcall finishes.

This fixes PR gdb/20604. The bug here is that passing an invalid
expression to "quit" -- e.g., "quit()" -- causes gdb to enter a
non-functioning state.
The immediate problem is that quit_force resets the terminal before
evaluating the expression. However, it seemed to me that it doesn't
really make sense to pass the quit_force argument to kill_or_detach
(which passes it to to_detach), first because conflating the exit
status for "quit" and the signal to pass when detaching doesn't make
sense, and second because to_detach implementations generally only
accept a constant here, while "quit" accepts an expression. So, I
removed that.
As an aside, I think the "detach SIGNO" functionality is not
documented.

GCC 6's ICF optimization pass is making the declaration of 'm1' and
'm2', on gdb.base/stap-probe.c, to be unified. However, this leads to
only one instance of the probe 'two' being created, which causes a
failure on the testsuite (which expects a multi-location breakpoint to
be inserted on the probe).
This patch fixes this failure by declaring a dummy variable on 'm1',
and using it as an argument to m1's version of probe 'two'. Since we
do not care about the contents of the functions nor about the
arguments of each probe 'two', this is OK.

On various GNU Elf architectures, including AArch64, ARM, s390/s390x,
ppc32/64, and sparc32/64, the dynamic loader passes HWCAP as a parameter
to each ifunc resolver. Currently there is an open glibc Bugzilla that
requests this to be generalized to all architectures:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19766
And various ifunc resolvers already rely on receiving HWCAP. Currently
GDB always calls an ifunc resolver without any arguments; thus the
resolver may receive garbage, and based on that, the resolver may decide
to return a function that is not suited for the given platform.
This patch always passes HWCAP to ifunc resolvers, even on systems where
the dynamic loader currently behaves otherwise. The rationale is
that (1) the dynamic loader may get adjusted on those systems as well in
the future; (2) passing an unused argument should not cause a problem
with existing resolvers; and (3) the logic is much simpler without such
a distinction.

I noticed that if input is already pending on the new-ui TTY, gdb
internal-errors.
E.g., create /dev/pts/2, and type anything there (even just <return>
is sufficient).
Now start GDB creating a new UI on that TTY, while at the same time,
running a synchronous execution command. Something like:
$ gdb program -ex "new-ui console /dev/pts/2" -ex "start"
Back on /dev/pts/2, we get:
(gdb) .../src/gdb/event-top.c:360: internal-error: double prompt
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
While the main UI was waiting for "start" to finish, gdb kepts pumping
events, including the input fd of the extra console. The problem is
that stdin_event_handler doesn't restore the current UI back to what
it was, assuming that it's only ever called from the top level event
loop. However, in this case, it's being called from the nested event
loop from within maybe_wait_sync_command_done.
When finally the "start" command is done, we reach the code that
prints the prompt in the main UI, just before starting the main event
loop. Since now the current UI is pointing at the extra console (by
mistake), we find ourselves printing a double prompt on the extra
console. This is caught by the assertion that fails, as shown above.
Since other event handlers also don't restore the UI (e.g., signal
event handlers), I think it's better if whatever is pumping events to
take care to restore the UI, if it cares. That's what this patch
does. New test included.

(with_spawn_id): Check whether gdb_spawn_id exists before
referencing it. If gdb_spawn_id didn't exist on entry, clear it
on exit.
Now that all the prerequisites are in place, this commit finally adds support
for handling the __float128 type on Intel and Power, by providing appropriate
platform-specific versions of the floatformat_for_type callback.
Since at this point we do not yet have any indication in the debug info to
distinguish different floating-point formats of the same length, we simply
use the type name as hint. Types named "__float128" get the IEEE format.
In addition to handling "__float128" itself, we also recognize "_Float128"
and (on Power) "_Float64x", as well as the complex versions of those.
(As pointed out by Joseph Myers, starting with GCC 7, __float128 is just
a typedef for _Float128 -- but it's good to handle this anyway.)
A new test case does some simple verification that the format is decoded
correctly, using both __float128 and "long double" to make sure using both
in the same file still works. Another new test verifies handling of the
_FloatN and _FloatNx types supported by GCC 7, as well as the complex
versions of those types.
Note that this still only supports basic format decoding and encoding.
We do not yet support the GNU extension 'g' suffix for __float128 constants.
In addition, since all *arithmetic* on floating-point values is still
performed in native host "long double" arithmetic, if that format is not
able to encode all target __float128 values, we may get incorrect results.
(To fix this would require implementing fully synthetic target floating-
point arithmetic along the lines of GCC's real.c, presumably using MPFR.)

return-nodebug.exp does the test for various types, but we shouldn't
test with floating point type if gdb_skip_float_test returns true.

* gdb.base/return-nodebug.exp: Skip the test if skip_float_test
is true and $type is "float" or "double".
We recently found a ARM kernel ptrace bug
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-May/431962.html
Details can be found in the comment in gdb_skip_float_test. We can
skip floating point tests if the kernel bug is detected.
This patch adds more code in gdb_skip_float_test to detect the broken
ptrace on arm-linux. Such detection should be done at the beginning
of the test, because it starts a fresh GDB, so change the test cases
to invoke gdb_skip_float_test at the beginning of test, and use its
return value afterwards.
Since gdb_skip_float_test becomes a gdb_caching_proc, so it can't
have an argument, this patch also removes argument "msg", which isn't
useful.
