Replace all uses of it by type::field.
Note that since type::field returns a reference to the field, some spots
are used to assign the whole field structure. See ctfread.c, function
attach_fields_to_type, for example. This is the same as was happening
with the macro, so I don't think it's a problem, but if anybody sees a
really nicer way to do this, now could be a good time to implement it.

This changes the extension language pretty-printers to use the value
API.
Note that new functions were needed, for both Guile and Python.
Currently both languages always wrap values by removing the values
from the value chain. This makes sense to avoid strange behavior with
watchpoints, and to avoid excessive memory use. However, when
printing, it's important to leave the passed-in value untouched, in
case pretty-printing does nothing -- that way the caller can still
access it.

This changes gdb to use the "variable" style when printing field
names. I've added new tests for C and Rust, but not other languages.
I chose "variable" because that seemed most straightforward. However,
another option would be to introduce a new "field" style. Similarly,
this patch uses the variable style for enumerator constants -- but
again, a new style could be used if that's preferred.

- Rationale:
It is possible for compilers to indicate the desired byte order
interpretation of scalar variables using the DWARF attribute:
DW_AT_endianity
A type flagged with this variable would typically use one of:
DW_END_big
DW_END_little
which instructs the debugger what the desired byte order interpretation
of the variable should be.
The GCC compiler (as of V6) has a mechanism for setting the desired byte
ordering of the fields within a structure or union. For, example, on a
little endian target, a structure declared as:
struct big {
int v;
short a[4];
} __attribute__( ( scalar_storage_order( "big-endian" ) ) );
could be used to ensure all the structure members have a big-endian
interpretation (the compiler would automatically insert byte swap
instructions before and after respective store and load instructions).
- To reproduce
GCC V8 is required to correctly emit DW_AT_endianity DWARF attributes
in all situations when the scalar_storage_order attribute is used.
A fix for (dwarf endianity instrumentation) for GCC V6-V7 can be found
in the URL field of the following PR:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82509
- Test-case:
A new test case (testsuite/gdb.base/endianity.*) is included with this
patch.
Manual testing for mixed endianity code has also been done with GCC V8.
See:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82509#c4
- Observed vs. expected:
Without this change, using scalar_storage_order that doesn't match the
target, such as
struct otherendian
{
int v;
} __attribute__( ( scalar_storage_order( "big-endian" ) ) );
would behave like the following on a little endian target:
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401135: file endianity.c, line 41.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/pjoot/freeware/t/a.out
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.17-292.el7.x86_64

(gdb) p o
$1 = {v = 50331648}
(gdb) p /x
$2 = {v = 0x3000000}
whereas with this gdb enhancement we can access the variable with the user
specified endianity:
Breakpoint 1, main () at endianity.c:41
41 struct otherendian o = {3};
(gdb) p o
$1 = {v = 0}
(gdb) n
43 do_nothing (&o); /* START */

$2 = {v = 3}
(gdb) p o.v = 4
$3 = 4
(gdb) p o.v
$4 = 4
(gdb) x/4xb &o.v
0x7fffffffd90c: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x04
(observe that the 4 byte int variable has a big endian representation in the
hex dump.)

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.

I touched symtab.h and was surprised to see how many files were
rebuilt. I looked into it a bit, and found that defs.h includes
gdbarch.h, which in turn includes many things.
gdbarch.h is only needed by a minority ofthe files in gdb, so this
patch removes the include from defs.h and updates the fallout.
I did "wc -l" on the files in build/gdb/.deps; this patch reduces the
line count from 139935 to 137030; so there are definitely future
build-time savings here.
Note that while I configured with --enable-targets=all, it's possible
that some *-nat.c file needs an update. I could not test all of
these. The buildbot caught a few problems along these lines.

This patch adds support for "print -option optval --", etc.
Likewise for "compile print".
We'll get:
~~~~~~
(gdb) help print
Print value of expression EXP.
Usage: print [[OPTION]... --] [/FMT] [EXP]
Options:
-address [on|off]
Set printing of addresses.
-array [on|off]
Set pretty formatting of arrays.
-array-indexes [on|off]
Set printing of array indexes.
-elements NUMBER|unlimited
Set limit on string chars or array elements to print.
"unlimited" causes there to be no limit.
-max-depth NUMBER|unlimited
Set maximum print depth for nested structures, unions and arrays.
When structures, unions, or arrays are nested beyond this depth then they
will be replaced with either '{...}' or '(...)' depending on the language.
Use "unlimited" to print the complete structure.
-null-stop [on|off]
Set printing of char arrays to stop at first null char.
-object [on|off]
Set printing of C++ virtual function tables.
-pretty [on|off]
Set pretty formatting of structures.
-repeats NUMBER|unlimited
Set threshold for repeated print elements.
"unlimited" causes all elements to be individually printed.
-static-members [on|off]
Set printing of C++ static members.
-symbol [on|off]
Set printing of symbol names when printing pointers.
-union [on|off]
Set printing of unions interior to structures.
-vtbl [on|off]
Set printing of C++ virtual function tables.
Note: because this command accepts arbitrary expressions, if you
specify any command option, you must use a double dash ("--")
to mark the end of option processing. E.g.: "print -o -- myobj".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want to highlight the comment above about "--".
At first, I thought we could make the print command parse the options,
and if the option wasn't recognized, fallback to parsing as an
expression. Then, if the user wanted to disambiguate, he'd use the
"--" option delimiter. For example, if you had a variable called
"object" and you wanted to print its negative, you'd have to do:
(gdb) print -- -object
After getting that working, I saw that gdb.pascal/floats.exp
regressed, in these tests:
gdb_test "print -r" " = -1\\.2(499.*|5|500.*)"
gdb_test "print -(r)" " = -1.2(499.*|5|500.*)"
gdb_test "print -(r + s)" " = -3\\.4(499.*|5|500.*)"
It's the first one that I found most concerning. It regressed because
"-r" is the abbreviation of "-raw". I realized then that the behavior
change was a bit risker than I'd like, considering scripts, wrappers
around gdb, etc., and even user expectation. So instead, I made the
print command _require_ the "--" options delimiter if you want to
specify any option. So:
(gdb) print -r
is parsed as an expression, and
(gdb) print -r --
is parsed as an option.
I noticed that that's also what lldb's expr (the equivalent of print)
does to handle the same problem.
Going back the options themselves, note that:
- you can shorten option names, as long as unambiguous.
- For boolean options, 0/1 stand for off/on.
- For boolean options, "true" is implied.
So these are all equivalent:
(gdb) print -object on -static-members off -pretty on -- foo
(gdb) print -object -static-members off -pretty -- foo
(gdb) print -object -static-members 0 -pretty -- foo

PR c++/20020 concerns a crash in cp_print_value_fields. The immediate
cause is that cp_print_value_fields does not handle the case where
value_static_field fails. This is fixed in this patch by calling
cp_print_static_field from the "try" block.
Digging a bit deeper, the error occurs because GCC does not emit a
DW_AT_const_value for a static constexpr member appearing in a
template class. I've filed a GCC bug for this.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.

Introduce a new print setting max-depth which can be set with 'set
print max-depth DEPTH'. The default value of DEPTH is 20, but this
can also be set to unlimited.
When GDB is printing a value containing nested structures GDB will
stop descending at depth DEPTH. Here is a small example:
typedef struct s1 { int a; } s1;
typedef struct s2 { s1 b; } s2;
typedef struct s3 { s2 c; } s3;
typedef struct s4 { s3 d; } s4;
s4 var = { { { { 3 } } } };
The following table shows how various depth settings affect printing
of 'var':
| Depth Setting | Result of 'p var' |
|---------------+--------------------------------|
| Unlimited | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
| 4 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
| 3 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {...}}}} |
| 2 | $1 = {d = {c = {...}}} |
| 1 | $1 = {d = {...}} |
| 0 | $1 = {...} |
Only structures, unions, and arrays are replaced in this way, scalars
and strings are not replaced.
The replacement is counted from the level at which you print, not from
the top level of the structure. So, consider the above example and
this GDB session:
(gdb) set print max-depth 2
(gdb) p var
$1 = {d = {c = {...}}}
(gdb) p var.d
$2 = {c = {b = {...}}}
(gdb) p var.d.c
$3 = {b = {a = 3}}
Setting the max-depth to 2 doesn't prevent the user from exploring
deeper into 'var' by asking for specific sub-fields to be printed.
The motivation behind this feature is to try and give the user more
control over how much is printed when examining large, complex data
structures.
The default max-depth of 20 means that there is a change in GDB's
default behaviour. Someone printing a data structure with 20 levels
of nesting will now see '{...}' instead of their data, they would need
to adjust the max depth, or call print again naming a specific field
in order to dig deeper into their data structure. If this is
considered a problem then we could increase the default, or even make
the default unlimited.
This commit relies on the previous commit, which added a new field to
the language structure, this new field was a string that contained the
pattern that should be used when a structure/union/array is replaced
in the output, this allows languages to use a syntax that is more
appropriate, mostly this will be selecting the correct types of
bracket '(...)' or '{...}', both of which are currently in use.
This commit should have no impact on MI output, expressions are
printed through the MI using -var-create and then -var-list-children.
As each use of -var-list-children only ever displays a single level of
an expression then the max-depth setting will have no impact.
This commit also adds the max-depth mechanism to the scripting
language pretty printers following basically the same rules as for the
built in value printing.
One quirk is that when printing a value using the display hint 'map',
if the keys of the map are structs then GDB will hide the keys one
depth level after it hides the values, this ensures that GDB produces
output like this:
$1 = map_object = {[{key1}] = {...}, [{key2}] = {...}}
Instead of this less helpful output:
$1 = map_object = {[{...}] = {...}, [{...}] = {...}}
This is covered by the new tests in gdb.python/py-nested-maps.exp.

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 fixes all the straightforward -Wshadow=local warnings in gdb. A
few standard approaches are used here:
* Renaming an inner (or outer, but more commonly inner) variable;
* Lowering a declaration to avoid a clash;
* Moving a declaration into a more inner scope to avoid a clash,
including the special case of moving a declaration into a loop header.
I did not consider any of the changes in this patch to be particularly
noteworthy, though of course they should all still be examined.

The original problem was fixed (see related PR 22242). But using a typedef
as the declared type for a static member variable, as commented in this PR,
is still causing gdb to get into infinite loop when printing the static
member's value. This problem can be reproduced as follows:
% cat t.cc
class A {
typedef A type;
public:
bool operator==(const type& other) { return true; }
static const type INSTANCE;
};
const A A::INSTANCE;
int main() {
A a;
if (a == A::INSTANCE) {
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
% g++ -g t.cc
% gdb -ex "start" -ex "p a" a.out
The fix is rather trivial - in cp_print_static_field(), should call
check_typedef() to get the static member's real type and use it to
check whether it's a struct or an array.
As Simon suggested, I've added a new test case to the testsuite
and am passing the original type, not the real type, as argument
to both cp_print_value_fields() and val_print().
Re-tested on both aarch64-linux-gnu and amd64-linux-gnu. No regressions.
Recursion detection for static members was broken. The implementation
uses a growing (and shrinking) obstack object to simulate a stack of
addresses (CORE_ADDR). Pushing addresses is implemented by calling
obstack_grow(), while popping is implemented by calling obstack_free().
The latter is problematic because obstack_free() expects a pointer to
the base of an object. When popping elements of the stack however,
obstack_free() was called with the new top, which potentially is not the
same as the base of the stack. This is unintended use and the effect is
that obstack->next_free and obstack->object_base members are assigned
the value of the new top, which equals an empty stack. Summary: popping
elements would always result in an empty stack, which breaks the
recursion detection.
The fix shrinks the stack using obstack_blank_fast() with a negative
value as described at the bottom of this page:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libiberty/Extra-Fast-Growing.html "You
can use obstack_blank_fast with a “negative” size argument to make the
current object smaller. Just don’t try to shrink it beyond zero
length—there’s no telling what will happen if you do that. Earlier
versions of obstacks allowed you to use obstack_blank to shrink objects.
This will no longer work."
The reproducer is added to gdb.cp/classes.exp, which fails without this
patch.

This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
This normalizes some exception catch blocks that check for ex.reason
to look like this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
...
}
~~~
This is a preparation step for running a script that converts all
TRY_CATCH uses to look like this instead:
~~~
TRY
{
...
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
END_CATCH
~~~
The motivation for that change is being able to reimplent TRY/CATCH in
terms of C++ try/catch.
This commit makes it so that:
- no condition other than ex.reason < 0 is checked in the if
predicate
- there's no "else" block to check whether no exception was caught
- there's no code between the TRY_CATCH (TRY) block and the
'if (ex.reason < 0)' block (CATCH).
- the exception object is no longer referred to outside the if/catch
block. Note the local volatile exception objects that are
currently defined inside functions that use TRY_CATCH will
disappear. In cases it's more convenient to still refer to the
exception outside the catch block, a new non-volatile local is
added and copy to that object is made within the catch block.
The following patches should make this all clearer.
