ARI has a check for multiple calls to warning or error, suggesting
that they be combined into a single call. This triggers at three
places in gdb -- throw_bad_regnum_error, guile_repl_command, and the
end of value_cast -- and after examining these, I think they all make
sense as-is. Instead, it makes sense to remove this check from ARI.

The "boolean" and "var_boolean" checks from ARI seem only to generate
false reports.
Now that gdb is in C++, at least the "boolean" check seems unlikely to
ever generate a true report.
The "var_boolean" check likewise doesn't seem valuable any more --
presumably this refers to some ancient way of doing things in gdb, and
isn't likely to find a bug in the future.
Therefore, this patch removes these two checks.

The words.sh script in its current form extracts c comments from files, which
it then transforms into a list of words.
To use the script on the documentation (as I did for commit 6b92c0d353

Add an option -c that enables extracting c comments, and is off by default.

Add a script that takes a list of files as arguments and output a list of
words from the C comments with their frequencies.
For:
...
$ ./gdb/contrib/words.sh $(find gdb -type f -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h")
...
it generates a list of ~15000 words prefixed with frequency.
This could be used to generate a dictionary that is kept as part of the
sources, against which new code can be checked, generating a warning or
error. The hope is that misspellings would trigger this frequently, and rare
words rarely, otherwise the burden of updating the dictionary would be too
much.
And for:
...
$ ./gdb/contrib/words.sh -f 1 $(find gdb -type f -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h")
...
it generates a list of ~5000 words with frequency 1.
This can be used to scan for misspellings manually.

* contrib/gdb-add-index.sh: Update to handle dwz-m-ed executable.
When running the gdb.base/index-cache.exp test case with the
cc-with-dwz-m board, I noticed that the final executable didn't actually
contain a .gnu_debugaltlink section with the name of the external dwz
file:
$ readelf --debug-dump=links testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/index-cache/index-cache
* empty *
Running dwz by hand, I realized it's because dwz complains that the
output .debug_info section is empty and fails:
$ gcc ~/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/index-cache.c -g3 -O0 -o a && cp a b
$ dwz -m foo a b
dwz: foo: .debug_info section not present
$ echo $?
1
This is because index-cache.c is trivial (just an empty main) and dwz
doesn't find anything to factor out to the dwz file. [1]
I think that cc-with-tweaks should fail in this scenario: if the user
asks for an external dwz file to be generated (the -m flag), then it
should be an error if cc-with-tweaks doesn't manage to produce an
executable with the proper link to this external dwz file. Otherwise,
the test runs with a regular non-dwzified executable, which gives a
false sense of security about whether the feature under test works with
dwzified executables.
So this patch adds checks for that after invoking dwz. It also removes
the 2>&1 to allow the error message to be printed like so:
Running /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/index-cache.exp ...
gdb compile failed, dwz: /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/index-cache/index-cache.dwz: .debug_info section not present
- In the -m case (multi-file compression), we check if the expected output file
exists.
- In the -z case (single-file compression), we check if the file
contents has changed. This should catch cases where dwz doesn't modify the
file because it's not worth it.
It was chosen not to check for dwz's exit code, as it is not very
reliable up to dwz 0.12.
With this patch, fewer tests will pass than before with the
cc-with-dwz and cc-with-dwz-m boards, but those were false positives
anyway, as the test ran with regular executables.
[1] Note that dwz has been patched by Tom de Vries to work correctly in
this case, so we can use dwz master to run the test:

* boards/cc-with-debug-names.exp: New file.
The -m option of cc-with-tweaks.sh sets want_multi to true, invoking dwz like
this:
...
elif [ "$want_multi" = true ]; then
cp $output_file ${output_file}.alt
$DWZ -m ${output_file}.dwz "$output_file" ${output_file}.alt \
> /dev/null 2>&1
fi
...
The problem that is being solved here, is that we want to test dwz in
multifile mode, which requires more than one input file, while we only have
(at the scope of cc-with-tweaks.sh) one executable. We handle this by copying
the executable and offering this as a second input (and using a copy has the
additional benefit that it maximally enables dwz transformation).
However, after the dwz invocation, the copy is no longer used, and the
presence of the file actually causes a test regression:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/jit-so.exp: test jit-reader-load filename completion
...
Fix this by removing the superflous copy after dwz invocation.

With DWARF-5 .debug_names, the commands to add the index to the symbol
file are more complicated, as now also .debug_str needs to be
modified.
Currently, contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh calls objcopy to handle the '-i'
option instead of using contrib/gdb-add-index.sh which basically does
the same. To help with .debug_names, this commit makes
contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh reuse contrib/gdb-add-index.sh instead.
A problem this ran into is whether contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh should
fail or not when no index is produced.
Currently, contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh is more quiet (=successful) than
contrib/gdb-add-index.sh and so with no further changes testsuite runs
with an index would "regress". This commit tries to keep the behavior
unchanged. Some cases still error with:
Ada is not currently supported by the index
But some cases (such as some trivial gdb.dwarf2/ testcases with no DWARF data
to index) produce no index while the testcases still PASS now instead of:
-PASS: gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp: stack pointer value matches

This patch adds the cleanup checker. This is a Python plugin for GCC
that checks some rules for cleanup handling. In particular it tries
to notice when cleanups are left dangling at the end of a function.
It does this by applying a few simple rules.
First, it understands that a function whose return type is "struct
cleanup *" is a "cleanup constructor". Such functions are expected to
return the first cleanup that they make.
Then, it has the notion of a "master cleanup". The checker keeps a
stack of all cleanups made in a basic block. The first element is
pushed on the stack is the master cleanup -- the one that must later
be passed to either do_cleanups or discard_cleanups.
It is not perfect -- some constructs confuse it. So, part of this
series rewrites some code in gdb so that it is analyzable. I'll note
these spots and you can decide whether or not this is a good idea.
This patch also changes gcc-with-excheck to give it options. Now you
must use either -Xc (for the cleanup checker) or -Xx (for the
exception checker).
* contrib/cleanup_check.py: New file.
* contrib/gcc-with-excheck: Add option parsing.
