When a dynamic array type contains a typedef-wrapped array, an assertion
failure occurs during type resolution. This is what happens in the
following Ada case:
type Rec_Type is record
I : Integer;
B : Boolean;
end record;
type Vec_Type is array (1 .. 4) of Rec_Type;
type Array_Type is array (Positive range <>) of Vec_Type;
If users try to print or even pass to an inferior call a variable A of
type Array_Type, GDB will raise an error:
(gdb) print a
../../src/gdb/gdbtypes.c:1807: internal-error:
resolve_dynamic_array: Assertion `TYPE_CODE (type) ==
TYPE_CODE_ARRAY' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
What happens is that during dynamic array type resolution, we first peel
TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF layers wrapping the array element type and check if
its type is itself TYPE_CODE_ARRAY. If it is, we pass the
typedef-wrapped type to a recursive call to resolve_dynamic_array
whereas this function expects only TYPE_CODE_ARRAY types.
This patch makes it pass the peeled type to the recursive call so that
type resolution can continue smoothly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_array): Pass the peeled element
type to the recursive call instead of the original (maybe
TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF) type.

Since multi_line was moved to gdb.exp in a slightly stricter form,
The gdb.ada/info_exc.exp:info exceptions test has been failing.
This is because it now expects a new-line sequence at the end of
each argument given to multi_line, including ".*". But the intent
when writing the test was to signify "could-be-nothing-at-all".
As a result, the test fails on x86_64-linux with a runtime built as
recommended, because of that
extra new-line sequence.

There are two problems:
(1) The testcase did not really test if elf64-i386 is supported by GDB (BFD).
That was OK for a Fedora testcase but I forgot about it when submitting it
upstream.
I haven't really verified if the GNU target is elf64-little but it seems so,
no other one seems suitable from:
elf32-x86-64
elf64-big
elf64-k1om
elf64-l1om
elf64-little
elf64-x86-64
pei-x86-64
(2) The output of the "core-file" command itself can be arbitrary as the
elf64-i386 file with x86_64 registers is really broken; but that does not
matter much, important is the following test whether core file memory is
readable.
./configure --enable-64-bit-bfd

I do not know much dejagnu but I expect 'istarget' tests against the site.exp
'target_triplet' content which is set to the primary GDB target
(--target=...).
GDB is normally never configured for primary target elf64-i386, I think BFD
does not know such explicit target, it gets recognized as elf64-little.
In fact many testfiles of the GDB testsuite are wrong as they require
'istarget' (therefore primary GDB target) even for just loading arch specific
files which would be sufficient with secondary target (--enable-targets=...)
support.
This my new patch removes this 'istarget' check as it is IMO unrelated to what
we need to test. Although you are right we do 'x/i' and test for 'hlt' so
I think we should test also for available 'set architecture i386'.
We could also test by 'x/bx' instead of 'x/i' to avoid such additional
test/requirement.
This testcase comes from a different bug from 2009:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457187http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gdb.git/commit/?id=94cd124608bf0dd359cb48a710800d72c21b30c3
That bug has been fixed in the meantime but the same testcase was reproducing
this new different bug - internal error regression - so I submitted it.
We can remove the "x/bx $address" test but it was useful for the previous bug
from 2009 as that time the internal error regression did not happen, just the
core file was not recognized (which would not be detected by the proposed
ignoring of the "core-file" command output) and so the core file was not
available. That can be tested by the "x/bx $address" test.

On GNU/Linux, if an infcall spawns a thread, that thread ends up with
stuck running state. This happens because:
- when linux-nat.c detects a new thread, it marks them as running,
and does not report anything to the core.
- we skip finish_thread_state when the thread that is running the
infcall stops.
As result, that new thread ends up with stuck "running" state, even
though it really is stopped.
On Windows, _all_ threads end up stuck in running state, not just the
one that was spawned. That happens because when a new thread is
detected, unlike linux-nat.c, windows-nat.c reports
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS to infrun. It's the fact that that event
does not cause a user-visible stop that triggers the problem. When
the target is re-resumed, we call set_running with a wildcard ptid,
which marks all thread as running. That set_running is not suppressed
because the (leader) thread being resumed does not have in_infcall
set. Later, when the infcall finally finishes successfully, nothing
marks all threads back to stopped.
We can trigger the same problem on all targets by having a thread
other than the one that is running the infcall report a breakpoint hit
to infrun, and then have that breakpoint not cause a stop. That's
what the included test does.
The fix is to stop GDB from suppressing the set_running calls while
doing an infcall, and then set the threads back to stopped when the
call finishes, iff they were originally stopped before the infcall
started. (Note the MI *running/*stopped event suppression isn't
affected.)
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Last year a patch was submitted/approved/commited to eliminate
symbol_matches_domain which was causing this problem. It was later reverted
because it introduced a (severe) performance regression.
Recap:
(gdb) list
1 enum e {A,B,C} e;
2 int main (void) { return 0; }
3
(gdb) p e
Attempt to use a type name as an expression
The parser attempts to find a symbol named "e" of VAR_DOMAIN.
This gets passed down through lookup_symbol and (eventually) into
block_lookup_symbol_primary, which iterates over the block's dictionary
of symbols:
for (sym = dict_iter_name_first (block->dict, name, &dict_iter);
sym != NULL;
sym = dict_iter_name_next (name, &dict_iter))
{
if (symbol_matches_domain (SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym),
SYMBOL_DOMAIN (sym), domain))
return sym;
}
The problem here is that we have a symbol named "e" in both STRUCT_DOMAIN
and VAR_DOMAIN, and for languages like C++, Java, and Ada, where a tag name
may be used as an implicit typedef of the type, symbol_matches_domain ignores
the difference between VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN. As it happens, the
STRUCT_DOMAIN symbol is found first, considered a match, and that symbol is
returned to the parser, eliciting the (now dreaded) error message.
Since this bug exists specifically because we have both STRUCT and VAR_DOMAIN
symbols in a given block/CU, this patch rather simply/naively changes
block_lookup_symbol_primary so that it continues to search for an exact
domain match on the symbol if symbol_matches_domain returns a symbol
which does not exactly match the requested domain.
This "fixes" the immediate problem, but admittedly might uncover other,
related bugs. [Paranoia?] However, it causes no regressions (functional
or performance) in the test suite. A similar change has been made
to block_lookup_symbol for other cases in which this bug might appear.
The tests from the previous submission have been resurrected and updated.
However since we can still be given a matching symbol with a different domain
than requested, we cannot say that a symbol "was not found." The error
messages today will still be the (dreaded) "Attempt to use a type name..."

This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which
controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default).
The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of
basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These
common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when
the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the
history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient.
The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to
look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one.
"history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option,
and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's
erasedups option.
[ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum
because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than
leave/erase/ignore. ]

linux_get_siginfo_type is installed to many linux gdbarch. This patch
is to move this to a common area linux-tdep.c:linux_init_abi, so that
linux_get_siginfo_type is installed to every linux gdbarch. If some
linux gdbarch needs its own version, please override it in
$ARCH_linux_init_abi. In the testsuite, we enable siginfo related
tests for all linux targets.

The value inside the GDBHISTSIZE environment variable, only if valid,
should override setting the history size through one's .gdbinit file.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp: Test the interaction between
setting GDBHISTSIZE and setting the history size via .gdbinit.
When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment
variable, i.e. one that is non-numeric or negative, GDB then sets its
history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent
with the behavior of bash.
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.

The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by
shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export
HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects
shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for
setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when
HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g.
PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it
may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at
once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment
variables with application environment variables.

We still do not handle "set history size unlimited" correctly. In
particular, after writing to the history file, we truncate the history
even if it is unlimited.
This patch makes sure that we do not call history_truncate_file() if the
history is not stifled (i.e. if it's unlimited). This bug causes the
history file to be truncated to zero on exit when one has "set history
size unlimited" in their gdbinit file. Although this code exists in GDB
7.8, the bug is masked by a pre-existing bug that's been only fixed in
GDB 7.9 (PR gdb/17820).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.c (gdb_safe_append_history): Do not call
history_truncate_file if the history is not stifled.

So far the gnu_vector test was limited to "static" aspects of GDB's
vector support, like evaluating vector-valued expressions. This patch
enriches the test and adds checks for GDB's vector ABI support as well.
The new checks particularly verify inferior function calls with vector
arguments and GDB's handling of vector return values.
The test now attempts to compile for the target's "native" architecture,
such that a hardware vector ABI is used if available.
Since GDB has no vector ABI support for x86 and x86_64 targets, most of
the new checks are KFAILed there.

This promotes BFD's struct elf_build_id to the generic struct bfd_build_id,
populated when an ELF or PE BFD is read.
gdb is updated to use that, and to use the build-id to find symbols for PE files
also.
There is currently no generic way to extract the build-id from an object file,
perhaps an option to objdump to do this might make sense?
On x86_64-pc-cygwin, gdb's sepdebug.exp changes:
-# of unsupported tests 1
+# of expected passes 90
I don't seem to get consistent testsuite runs on i686-linux-gnu, but there

(compile print *vararrayp@3): Change xfail to kfail compile/18489.
Currently inferior memory is allocated by inferior mmap() but it is never
deallocated; despite the injected objfile incl. its symbols is freed. This was
intentional so that one can do for example:
inferior:
char *str = "foo";
GDB:
(gdb) compile code str = "bar";
I believe later patches will be needed to introduce full control over keeping
vs. discarding the injected module as being discussed in:
compile: objfiles lifetime UI
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00051.html
Message-ID: <20150429135735.GA16974@host1.jankratochvil.net>
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-05/msg00007.html
As decided by Phil it is better not to leak inferior pages as users can
workaround the issue above for example by:
(gdb) compile code str = strdup ("bar");
I have checked that in fact gdb/doc/ (written by Phil) already expects the
injected code will be unmapped so that does not need to be changed:
compile code int ff = 5; p = &ff;
In this example, @code{p} would point to @code{ff} when the
@code{compile} command is executing the source code provided to it.
However, as variables in the (example) program persist with their
assigned values, the variable @code{p} would point to an invalid
location when the command exists.

I sent a patch in 2013 for this (incorrectly named =thread-created):
https://cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00129.html
Tom Tromey was ok with the change, but suggested to add a test as well.
Then I forgot about this patch until today. So here it is again, with the
corresponding test.
The problem is that the =thread-exited event does not appear when detaching
from a local process. It does appear with remote though. It's not a really
big deal, but I'd like it to be consistent.
Tested with local and remote Linux on my Ubuntu 14.04.

Initially there is some chain (let's say the longest one
but that doe snot matter). Consequently its elements from the middle are
being removed and there remains only some few unambiguous top and bottom ones.
The original idea why the comparison should be sharp ("<") was that if there
are multiple chains like (0xaddr show jmp instruction address):
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
then - such situation cannot exist - if two jmp instructions in "a" have the
same address they must also jump to the same address (*).
(*) jump to a computed address would be never considered for the DWARF
tail-call records.
So there could be:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x270) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
But then "a" frame itself is ambiguous and it must not be displayed.
I did not realize that there can be self-tail-call:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x280) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
which intersects to:
main(0x100) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And so if the first chain was chosen the
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
then the final intersection has callers+callees==length.
> for example, if CALLERS is 3 and
> CALLEES is 2, what does the chain look like?
main(0x100) -> x(0x150) -> y(0x200) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And if LENGTH is 7 then:
call_site[0] = main(0x100)
call_site[1] = x(0x150)
call_site[2] = y(0x200)
call_site[3] = garbage
call_site[4] = garbage
call_site[5] = a(0x200)
call_site[6] = d(0x400)
