The way unrecognized escape sequences are handled has changed in
Python 3.8: users now see a SyntaxWarning message, which will
eventually become a SyntaxError in future versions of Python:
(gdb) source /blabla/gdb.python/py-xmethods/py-xmethods.py
/blabla/gdb.python/py-xmethods/py-xmethods.py:204: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape seque
nce \+
'operator\+',
/blabla/gdb.python/py-xmethods/py-xmethods.py:211: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape seque
nce \+
'operator\+\+',
One of our testcases, gdb.python/py-xmethods.exp, contains strings in
the form of "operator\+". This is not recognized by Python, but is
still needed by the testsuite to work properly. The solution is
simple: we just have to make sure these strings are marked as
raw (i.e, r""). This is what this patch does. I took the opportunity
to also convert other strings to raw, which, in two cases, allowed the
removal of an extra backslash.
I tested this using Python 3.7 and Python 3.8, and everything works
fine.
I think I could push this as obvious, but decided to send it to
gdb-patches just in case.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-08-26 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* gdb.python/py-xmethods.exp: Use raw strings when passing
arguments to SimpleXMethodMatcher.
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
