We were only loading them when explicitly requested, which leads to
strings that point off into empty space (into the non-loaded "external"
ELF string table). Avoid this unfortunate consequence by loading the
strtab and symtab by default, unless a blank name is given.
binutils/
* readelf.c (dump_ctf_symtab_name): Give default value.
(dump_ctf_strtab_name): Likewise.
(dump_section_as_ctf): Allow for the null string.
No code handles these yet, but our latest GCC patches are generating
them, so we have to be ready for them or erroneously conclude that we
have file corruption.
(This simultaneously fixes a longstanding bug, concealed because nothing
was generating anything in the object or function info sections, where
the end of the section was being tested against the wrong thing: it
would have walked over the entire contents of the variable section and
treated them as part of the function info section. This had to change
now anyway because the new sections have landed in between.)
include/
* ctf.h: Add object index and function index sections. Describe
them. Improve the description of the variable section and clarify
the constraints on backward-pointing type nodes.
(ctf_header): Add cth_objtidxoff, cth_funcidxoff.

The code in ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect (which is the ultimate place where you
end up if you use ctf_open to open a CTF file and pull in the ELF string
and symbol tables) was written before it was possible to actually test
it, since the linker was not written. Now it is, it turns out that the
previous code was completely nonfunctional: it assumed that you could
load the symbol table via bfd_section_from_elf_index (...,elf_onesymtab())
and the string table via bfd_section_from_elf_index on the sh_link.
Unfortunately BFD loads neither of these sections in the conventional
fashion it uses for most others: the symbol table is immediately
converted into internal form (which is useless for our purposes, since
we also have to work in the absence of BFD for readelf, etc) and the
string table is loaded specially via bfd_elf_get_str_section which is
private to bfd/elf.c.
So make this function public, export it in elf-bfd.h, and use it from
libctf, which does something similar to what bfd_elf_sym_name and
bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section do. Similarly, load the symbol table
manually using bfd_elf_get_elf_syms and throw away the internal form
it generates for us (we never use it).
BFD allocates the strtab for us via bfd_alloc, so we can leave BFD to
deallocate it: we allocate the symbol table ourselves before calling
bfd_elf_get_elf_syms, so we still have to free it.
Also change the rules around what you are allowed to provide: It is
useful to provide a string section but no symbol table, because CTF
sections can legitimately have no function info or data object sections
while relying on the ELF strtab for some of their strings. So allow
that combination.
v4: adjust to upstream changes. ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect's first parameter
is potentially unused again (if BFD is not in use for this link
due to not supporting an ELF target).

The CTF header has before now been thrown away too soon to be dumped
using the ctf_dump() machinery used by objdump and readelf: instead, a
kludge involving debugging-priority dumps of the header offsets on every
open was used.
Replace this with proper first-class dumping machinery just like
everything else in the CTF file, and have objdump and readelf use it.
(The dumper already had an enum value in ctf_sect_names_t for this
purpose, waiting to be used.)
v5: fix tabdamage.
libctf/
* ctf-impl.h (ctf_file_t): New field ctf_openflags.
* ctf-open.c (ctf_bufopen): Set it. No longer dump header offsets.
* ctf-dump.c (dump_header): New function, dump the CTF header.

libctf supports dynamic upgrading of the type table as file format
versions change, but before now has not supported changes to the CTF
header. Doing this is complicated by the baroque storage method used:
the CTF header is kept prepended to the rest of the CTF data, just as
when read from the file, and written out from there, and is
endian-flipped in place.
This makes accessing it needlessly hard and makes it almost impossible
to make the header larger if we add fields. The general storage
machinery around the malloced ctf pointer (the 'ctf_base') is also
overcomplicated: the pointer is sometimes malloced locally and sometimes
assigned from a parameter, so freeing it requires checking to see if
that parameter was used, needlessly coupling ctf_bufopen and
ctf_file_close together.
So split the header out into a new ctf_file_t.ctf_header, which is
written out explicitly: squeeze it out of the CTF buffer whenever we
reallocate it, and use ctf_file_t.ctf_buf to skip past the header when
we do not need to reallocate (when no upgrading or endian-flipping is
required). We now track whether the CTF base can be freed explicitly
via a new ctf_dynbase pointer which is non-NULL only when freeing is
possible.
With all this done, we can upgrade the header on the fly and add new
fields as desired, via a new upgrade_header function in ctf-open.
As with other forms of upgrading, libctf upgrades older headers
automatically to the latest supported version at open time.
For a first use of this field, we add a new string field cth_cuname, and
a corresponding setter/getter pair ctf_cuname_set and ctf_cuname: this
is used by debuggers to determine whether a CTF section's types relate
to a single compilation unit, or to all compilation units in the
program. (Types with ambiguous definitions in different CUs have only
one of these types placed in the top-level shared .ctf container: the
rest are placed in much smaller per-CU containers, which have the shared
container as their parent. Since CTF must be useful in the absence of
DWARF, we store the names of the relevant CUs ourselves, so the debugger
can look them up.)

ctf_buf explicitly. Use ctf_free, not ctf_free_base.

Set ctf_dynbase where ctf_base is dynamically allocated. Drop locals
that duplicate fields in ctf_file: move allocation of ctf_file
further up instead. Call upgrade_header as needed. Move
version-specific ctf_parmax initialization into upgrade_types. More

With a glibc before 2.9 (such as 2.8), there's <endian.h> but no

Also, I see no bswap_identity_64 *anywhere* except in libctf/swap.h
(including current glibc) and I don't think calling an "identity"-
function is better than just plain "#define foo(x) (x)" anyway.
(Where does the idea of a bytestap.h bswap_identity_64 come from?)
Speaking of that, I should mention that I instrumented the condition
to observe that the WORDS_BIGENDIAN case passes too for a presumed
big-endian target and glibc-2.8: there is a bswap_64 present for that
version. Curiously, no test-case regressed with that instrumentation.
For the record, constructing binary blobs using text source to run
tests on, can be done by linking to --oformat binary (with most ELF
targets), but I guess that's seen as unnecessary roundabout perhaps
checking in binary files in the test-suite would be ok these days.

It was observed that in a multi-threaded application on GNU/Linux,
that if the user has set the SIGSTOP to be pass (using GDB's handle
command) then the inferior would hang upon hitting a breakpoint.
What happens is that when a thread hits the breakpoint GDB tries to
stop all of the other threads by sending them a SIGSTOP and setting
the stop_requested flag in the target_ops structure - this can be seen
in infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
GDB then waits for all of the other threads to stop.
When the SIGSTOP event arrives we eventually end up in
linux-nat.c:linux_nat_filter_event, which has the job of deciding if
the event we're looking at (the SIGSTOP arriving in this case) is
something that should be reported back to the core of GDB.
One of the final actions of this function is to check if we stopped
due to a signal, and if we did, and the signal has been set to 'pass'
by the user then we ignore the event and resume the thread.
This code already has some conditions in place that mean the event is
reported to GDB even if the signal is in the set of signals to be
passed to the inferior.
In this commit I extend this condition such that:
If the signal is a SIGSTOP, and the thread's stop_requested flag is
set (indicating we're waiting for the thread to stop with a SIGSTOP)
then we should report this SIGSTOP to GDB and not pass it to the
inferior.
With this change in place the test now passes. Regression tested on
x86-64 GNU/Linux with no regressions.

* gdb.base/list-missing-source.exp: Allowing the "Compilation

The gdb.base/info-types.exp test-case FAILs with gcc/g++ 4.8 because the DWARF
record for the 'unsigned int' type is missing in the executables, while it is
present for gcc/g++ 7.4.1.
For a minimal example using gcc 7.4.1:
...
$ echo "enum enum_t { AA, BB, CC }; enum enum_t var;" > enum.c
$ gcc enum.c -c -g
...
we find that the enum type has DW_AT_encoding 'unsigned':
<1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<1e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
<22> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<23> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<24> DW_AT_type : <0x3e>
<28> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<29> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<2a> DW_AT_sibling : <0x3e>
...
and a DW_AT_type reference to the type 'unsigned int':
...
<1><3e>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<3f> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<40> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<41> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x26): unsigned int
...
With gcc 4.8.5 however, we have no 'unsigned' encoding, and no DW_AT_type:
...
<1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<1e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
<22> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<23> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<24> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<25> DW_AT_sibling : <0x39>

as well as no record for 'unsigned int'.

'unsigned int' type optional.

GDB's py-format-string test case depends on endianness. In particular it
relies on the first byte of the machine representation of 42 (as an int)
to be 42 as well. While this is indeed the case for little-endian
machines, big-endian machines store a zero in the first byte instead. The
wrong assumption leads to lots of FAILs on such architectures.
Fix this by filling the affected union with bytes of the same value, such
that endianness does not matter. Use the value 42, to keep the character
in the first byte unchanged.

This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the
Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception
currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more
fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the

This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint
must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper

In ELF, if a data symbol is defined in a shared library and used by
the main program, it will be subject to a "copy relocation". In this
scenario, the main program has a copy of the symbol in question, and a
relocation that tells ld.so to copy the data from the shared library.
Then the symbol in the main program is used to satisfy all references.
This patch changes gdb to handle this scenario. Data symbols coming
from ELF shared libraries get a special flag that indicates that the
symbol's address may be subject to copy relocation.
I looked briefly into handling copy relocations by looking at the
actual relocations in the main program, but this seemed difficult to
do with BFD.
Note that no caching is done here. Perhaps this could be changed if
need be; I wanted to avoid possible problems with either objfile
lifetimes and changes, or conflicts with the long-term (vapor-ware)
objfile splitting project.

This changes current_source_symtab and current_source_line to be
per-program-space. This ensures that switching inferiors will
preserve the current "list" location for that inferior, and also
ensures that the default expression evaluation context always comes
with the current inferior.
No test case, because the latter problem crops up with an existing
gdb.multi test case once this entire series has been applied.

Update.
select_source_symtab currently calls decode_line_with_current_source.
However, this function iterates over all program spaces, and so it is
possible that it will return a "main" from some other program space.
This patch changes select_source_symtab to simply use the symbol it
already found in the current program space.

This changes lookup_global_symbol to look in the global block
of the passed-in block. If no block was passed in, it reverts to the
previous behavior.
This change is needed to ensure that 'FILENAME'::NAME lookups work
properly. As debugging Pedro's test case showed, this was not working
properly in the case where multiple identical names could be found
(the one situation where this feature is truly needed :-).
This also removes some old comments from basic_lookup_symbol_nonlocal
that no longer apply.
Note that the new test cases for this change will appear in a later
patch. They are in gdb.base/print-file-var.exp.

Removes a use of VEC from dwarf2read.{c,h} and replaces it with

Replace a VEC with a std::vector in btrace.h, and update btrace.c to
match. It is worth noting that this code appears to be currently
untested by the GDB testsuite. I've tried to do a like for like
replacement when moving to std::vector, with minimal refactoring to
try and avoid introducing any bugs.
As the new vector is inside a union I've currently used a pointer to
vector, which makes the code slightly uglier than it might otherwise
be, but again, due to lack of testing I'm reluctant to start
refactoring the code in a big way.

Converts a VEC into a std::vector in gdbsupport/btrace-common.h. This
commit just performs a mechanical conversion and doesn't do any
refactoring. One consequence of this is that the std::vector must
actually be a pointer to std::vector as it is placed within a union.
It might be possible in future to refactor to a class hierarchy and
remove the need for a union, but I'd rather have that be a separate
change to make it easier to see the evolution of the code.

This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

This introduces a few gdb-specific %p format suffixes. This is useful
for emitting gdb-specific output in an ergonomic way. It also yields
code that is more i18n-friendly.
The comment before ui_out::message explains the details.
Note that the tests had to change a little. When using one of the gdb
printf functions with styling, there can be spurious style changes
emitted to the output. This did not seem worthwhile to fix, as the
low-level output functions are rather spaghetti-ish already, and I
didn't want to make them even worse.
This change also necessitated adding support for "*" as precision and
width in format_pieces. These are used in various spots in gdb, and
it seemed better to me to implement them than to remove the uses.

The pretty-print test case fails on s390/s390x because it relies on a
little-endian representation of bit fields. Little-endian architectures
typically allocate bit fields from least to most significant bit, but
big-endian architectures typically use the reverse order, allocating the
most significant bit first. Thus the two bit fields in each of the test
case's unions overlap either in their lower or in their higher bits,
depending on the target's endianness:
union {
int three : 3;
int four : 4;
};
Now, when initializing 'three' with 3, 'four' will become 3 on little
endian targets, but 6 on big-endian targets, making it FAIL there.
Fix this by initializing the longer bit field instead and using an
all-ones bit pattern. In this way the result does not depend on
endianness. Use 'unsigned' instead of int for one of the bit fields in
each of the unions, to increase the variety of resulting values.

* gdb.base/pretty-print.c (struct s1_t): Change fields 'three' and

Commit f2aec7f6d1 changed gdb_datadir to std::string.
So, xstrdup-ing the result of relocate_gdb_directory (returning a std::string)
is not needed and creates a leak.
Fix the leak by removing the xstrdup and the not needed c_str ().
Also removes a useless conversion of gdb_datadir to std::string.

else if (name1) /* fn2 has no name, so it is "less". */

With rustc 1.37, I started seeing compiler warnings from the traits.rs
test case:
warning: trait objects without an explicit `dyn` are deprecated
It seems to me that we generally do not want warnings in these test
cases. At some point, we'll probably have to patch traits.rs to use
the "dyn" keyword; by that time I expect that all the Rust compilers
in common use will support it. In the meantime it seemed simplest to
simply disable all warnings in this file.
