While debugging something, i noticed this odd FIXME comment. It seems stale
and therefore here's a patch removing it.

Add support for strings with dynamic length using the DWARF attribute
DW_AT_string_length.
Currently gFortran generates DWARF for some strings that make use of
DW_AT_string_length like this:
<1><2cc>: Abbrev Number: 20 (DW_TAG_string_type)
<2cd> DW_AT_string_length: 5 byte block: 99 bd 1 0 0 (DW_OP_call4: <0x1bd>)
<2d3> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<2d4> DW_AT_sibling : <0x2e2>
In this type entry the DW_AT_string_length attribute references a
second DW_TAG_formal_parameter that contains the string length. The
DW_AT_byte_size indicates that the length is a 4-byte value.
This commit extends GDB's DWARF parsing for strings so that we can
create dynamic types as well as static types, based on the attribute
the DWARF contains.
I then extend the dynamic type resolution code in gdbtypes.c to add
support for resolving dynamic strings.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_tag_string_type): Read the fields required to
make a dynamic string, and possibly create a dynamic range for the
string.
(attr_to_dynamic_prop): Setup is_reference based on the type of
attribute being processed.
* gdbtypes.c (is_dynamic_type_internal): Handle TYPE_CODE_STRING.
(resolve_dynamic_array): Rename to...
(resolve_dynamic_array_or_string): ...this, update header comment,
and accept TYPE_CODE_STRING.
(resolve_dynamic_type_internal): Handle TYPE_CODE_STRING.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.fortran/array-slices.exp: Add test for dynamic strings.

This is a minor refactor in preparation for the next commit. Splits
the core of dwarf2_per_cu_addr_sized_int_type out into a separate

of its implementation from...
(dwarf2_per_cu_addr_sized_int_type): ...here, which now just calls
the new function.

Currently GDB supports a byte or bit stride on arrays, in DWARF this
would be DW_AT_bit_stride or DW_AT_byte_stride on DW_TAG_array_type.
However, DWARF can also support DW_AT_byte_stride or DW_AT_bit_stride
on DW_TAG_subrange_type, the tag used to describe each dimension of an
array.
Strides on subranges are used by gFortran to represent Fortran arrays,
and this commit adds support for this to GDB.
I've extended the range_bounds struct to include the stride
information. The name is possibly a little inaccurate now, but this
still sort of makes sense, the structure represents information about
the bounds of the range, and also how to move from the lower to the
upper bound (the stride).
I've added initial support for bit strides, but I've never actually
seen an example of this being generated. Further, I don't really see
right now how GDB would currently handle a bit stride that was not a
multiple of the byte size as the code in, for example,
valarith.c:value_subscripted_rvalue seems geared around byte
addressing. As a consequence if we see a bit stride that is not a
multiple of 8 then GDB will give an error.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_subrange_type): Read bit and byte stride and

The source window currently uses a field width of 6 for line numbers,
and it further aligns to the next tab stop. This seemed a bit
wasteful of horizontal space to me, so I changed that in an earlier

adds the option to use less horizontal space in the TUI source window.

Currently, gdb internally transforms DW_TAG_variant_part into a union
(with some special attbributes). When doing so, it computes the
length of this union from the length of the fields. However, this
computation didn't include the offset of these fields, resulting in
the length being too short.
This is not a problem given the way the code currently works.
However, I have a patch series to switch gdb to value-based printing,
where this does have an impact.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28; and, considering that this only affects
Rust, I am checking it in.

* gdb.base/define-prefix.exp: New file.
This patch adds the new 'define-prefix' command that creates (or mark an
existing user defined command) as a prefix command.
This approach was preferred compared to add a -prefix option to
'define' command : with define-prefix, a command can be defined and
afterwards marked as a prefix. Also, it is easier to define a
'prefix' only command in one operation.
This patch also adds completers for the 'define' and 'document' commands.
This makes it easier for the user to type the prefixes for 'define'
and type the documented command name for 'document'.

Function overload resolution prints debug output if turned on via the
'set debug overload' command. The output includes the badness vector
(BV). For each function, this vector contains a badness value of the
length of parameters as its first element. So, BV[0] does not
correspond to a parameter. The badness values of parameters start
with BV[1].
A badness value is a pair; it contains a rank and a subrank. Printing
both fields provides useful information.
Improve printing the badness vector along these lines.

The Fortran test gdb.fortran/info-modules compiles the files
info-types.f90 and info-types-2.f90 in that order. Unfortunately
info-types.f90 makes use of a module defined in info-types-2.f90.
This currently doesn't cause a problem if you run all of the Fortran
tests as the info-types.exp test already compiles info-types-2.f90 and
so the module description file 'mod2.mod' will be created, and can
then be found by info-modules.exp during its compile.
If however you try to run just info-modules.exp in a clean build
directory, the test will fail to compile.
Fix this by compiling the source files in the reverse order so that
the module is compiled first, then the test program that uses the
module.

Running a GDB with the fix for BZ 25065 should cause these new tests

ERROR: Couldn't send ptype main::foo to GDB.

This is a fix for BZ 25065.
GDB segfaults when running either gdb.cp/subtypes.exp or
gdb.cp/local.exp in conjunction with using the -flto compiler/linker
flag.
A much simpler program, which was used to help create the test for
this fix, is:
-- doit.cc --
int main()
{
class Foo {
public:
int doit ()
{
return 0;
}
};
Foo foo;
return foo.doit ();
}
-- end doit.cc --
gcc -o doit -flto -g doit.cc
gdb -q doit
Reading symbols from doit...
(gdb) ptype main::Foo
type = class Foo {
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The segfault occurs due to a NULL physname in
c_type_print_base_struct_union in c-typeprint.c. Specifically,
calling is_constructor_name() eventually causes the SIGSEGV is this
code in c-typeprint.c:
const char *physname = TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME (f, j);
int is_full_physname_constructor =
TYPE_FN_FIELD_CONSTRUCTOR (f, j)
|| is_constructor_name (physname)
|| is_destructor_name (physname)
|| method_name[0] == '~';
However, looking at compute_delayed_physnames(), we see that
the TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME field should never be NULL. This
field will be set to "" for NULL physnames:
physname = dwarf2_physname (mi.name, mi.die, cu);
TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME (fn_flp->fn_fields, mi.index)
= physname ? physname : "";
For this particular case, it turns out that compute_delayed_physnames
wasn't being called, which left TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME set to the NULL
value that it started with when that data structure was allocated.
The place to fix it, I think, is towards the end of
inherit_abstract_dies().
My first attempt at fix caused the origin CU's method_list (which is
simply the list of methods whose physnames still need to be computed)
to be added to the CU which is doing the inheriting. One drawback
with this approach is that compute_delayed_physnames is (eventually)
called with a CU that's different than the CU in which the methods
were found. It's not clear whether this will cause problems or not.
A safer approach, which is what I ultimately settled on, is to call
compute_delayed_physnames() from inherit_abstract_dies(). One
potential drawback is that all needed types might not be known at that
point. However, in my testing, I haven't seen a problem along these
lines.

Split the function print_symbol_info into two parts, the new worker
core returns a string, which print_symbol_info then prints. This will
be useful in a later commit when some new MI commands will be added
which will use the worker core to fill some MI output fields.

Introduce a new class to wrap up the parameters needed for the
function search_symbols, which has now become a member function of
this new class.
The motivation is that search_symbols already takes a lot of
parameters, and a future commit is going to add even more. This
commit hopefully makes collecting the state required for a search
easier.
As part of this conversion the list of filenames in which to search
has been converted to a std::vector.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

add_internal_function sets a command destroyer that frees the doc
string. However, many callers do not pass in an allocated doc string.
This adds a new overload to clearly differentiate the two cases,

This adds a simple thread pool to gdb. In the end, this seemed
preferable to the approach taken in an earlier version of this series;
namely, starting threads in the parallel-foreach implementation. This
approach reduces the overhead of starting new threads, and also lets
the user control (in a subsequent patch) exactly how many worker
threads are running.

The gdb demangler installs a SIGSEGV handler in order to protect gdb
from demangler bugs. However, this is not thread-safe, as signal
handlers are global to the process.
This patch changes gdb to always install a global SIGSEGV handler, and
then lets threads indicate their interest in handling the signal by
setting a thread-local variable.
This patch then arranges for the demangler code to use this; being
sure to arrange for calls to warning and the like to be done on the
main thread.
One thing I wondered while writing this patch is if there are any
systems that do not have "sigaction". If gdb could assume this, it
would simplify this code.

This introduces a new RAII class that temporarily installs an
alternate signal stack (on systems that have sigaltstack); then
changes the one gdb use of sigaltstack to use this class instead.
This will be used in a later patch, when creating new threads that may
want to handle SIGSEGV.

This adds configury support and an RAII class that can be used to
temporarily block signals that are used by gdb. (This class is not
used in this patch, but it split out for easier review.)
The idea of this patch is that these signals should only be delivered
to the main thread. So, when creating a background thread, they are
temporarily blocked; the blocked state is inherited by the new thread.
The sigprocmask man page says:
The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded
process; see pthread_sigmask(3).
This patch changes gdb to use pthread_sigmask when appropriate, by
introducing a convenience define.
I've updated gdbserver as well, because I had to touch gdbsupport, and
because the threading patches will make it link against the thread
library.
I chose not to touch the NTO code, because I don't know anything about
that platform and because I cannot test it.
Finally, this modifies an existing spot in the Guile layer to use the
new facility.

This adds a configure check for std::thread. This is needed because
std::thread is not available on some systems, like some versions of
mingw and DJGPP.
This also adds configury to make sure that a threaded gdb links
against the correct threading library (-lpthread or the like), and
passes the right flags (e.g., -pthread) to the compilations.
Note that this also links gdbserver against the thread library. This
is not strictly necessary at this point in the series, but a later
patch will change gdbsupport to use pthread_sigmask, at which point
this will be needed.
