This problem can be fixed by
- either each prologue analyzer doesn't throw exception,
- or catch the exception thrown from gdbarch_skip_prologue,
I choose the latter because the former needs to fix *every* prologue
analyzer to not throw exception.
This error can be reproduced by changing reread.exp. The test reread.exp
has already test that breakpoint can be reset correctly after the
executable is re-read. This patch extends this test by compiling test c
file with and without -fPIE.

Profiling GDB with the rest of series applied, I saw calls to
language_def showing up high in some runs. The problem is that
language_def is O(N) currently, since walk the languages vector each
time to find the matching language_defn.
IMO, the add_language mechanism is pointless, because "enum language"
implies the core of GDB needs to know about all languages anyway. So
simply make the languages vector array be an array where each
element's index is the corresponding enum language enumerator. Note
that "local_language_defn" is gone along the way. It's just a copy of
"auto", so the new code simply maps one to the other. One fewer place
to update when we need to change the language vector...
Also, a while ago the output of "set language" was made out of order
as side effect of some other change. While I was at it, I made them
sorted again.

This test is using "set language ada" expecting that to cause GDB to
do Ada symbol name matching. That won't work when GDB uses the
symbol's language to decide which symbol matching algorithm to use,
because the test's symbols are C symbols.
So generalize the test a bit to not rely on Ada name matching rules.
Confirmed that by undoing the original fix the test was written for,
the test still fails.

Continuing the theme of the explicit locations patch, this patch gets
rid of the need for quoting function names in linespec TAB completion.
To recap, when you have overloads in your program, and you want to set
a breakpoint in one of them:
void function(int); // set breakpoint here.
void function(long);
(gdb) b function(i[TAB]
<all the symbols in the program that start with "i" are uselessly shown...>
This patch gets rid of the need for quoting by switching the linespec
completer to use the custom completion word point mechanism added in
the previous explicit location patch (extending it as needed), to
correctly determine the right completion word point. In the case
above, we want the completer to figure out that it's completing a
function name that starts with "function(i", and it now does.
We also want the completer to know when it's potentially completing a
source file name, for:
(gdb) break source.[TAB] -> source.c:
(gdb) break source.c: # Type line number or function name now
And we want it to know to complete label names, which it doesn't today:
(gdb) break function:lab[TAB]
etc., etc.
So what we want is for completion to grok the input string as closely
to how the linespec parser groks it.
With that in mind, the solution suggests itself - make the linespec
completer use the same parsing code as normal linespec parsing.
That's what the patch does. The old completer is replaced by one that
reuses the actual linespec parser as much as possible. This (ideally)
eliminate differences between what completion understands and actually
setting breakpoints understands by design.
The completer now offers sensible completion candidates depending on
which component of the linespec is being completed, source filename,
function, line number, expression, and (a new addition), labels. For
example, when completing the function part, we now show the full name
of the method as completion candidates, instead of showing whatever
comes after what readline considered the word break character:
(gdb) break klass::method[TAB]
klass:method1(int)
klass:method2()
If input is past the function, then we now offer keyword condidates:
(gdb) b function(int) [TAB]
if task thread
If input is past a keyword, we offer expression completion, which is
different from linespec completion:
(gdb) b main if 1 + glo[TAB]
global
(e.g., completes on types, struct data fields, etc.)
As mentioned, this teaches the linespec completer about completing
label symbols too:
(gdb) b source.c:function:lab[TAB]
A nice convenience is that when completion uniquely matches a source
name, gdb adds the ":" automatically for you:
(gdb) b filenam[TAB]
(gdb) b filename.c: # ':' auto-added, cursor right after it.
It's the little details. :-)
I worked on this patch in parallel with writing the (big) testcase
added closer to the end of the series, which exercises many many
tricky cases around quoting and whitespace insertion placement. In
general, I think it now all Just Works.

This commit fixes a mismatch between what "print" command completer
thinks the command understands, and what the command actually
understands.
The explicit location options are understood by commands that take
(linespecs and) explicit locations as argument. I.e, breakpoint
commands, and "list". For example:
(gdb) b -source file.c -function my_func
So for those commands, it makes sense that the completer
completes:
"b -sour[TAB]" -> "b -source "
"b -functi[TAB]" -> "b -function "
etc.
However, completion for commands that take expressions (not
linespecs/locations) as arguments, such as the "print" command, also
completes the explicit location options, even though those switches
aren't really understood by these commands. Instead, "-foo" is
understood as an expression applying unary minus on a symbol named
"foo" (think "print -1"):
(gdb) p -func[TAB]
(gdb) p -function [RET]
No symbol "function" in current context.
The patch fixes this by having the expression_completer function
bypass the function that completes explicit locations.
New regression tests included.

Fix issue exposed by commit 3e29f34.
The basic issue is that section data referenced through an objfile
pointer can also be referenced via the program-space data pointer,
although via a separate mapping mechanism, which is set up by
update_section_map. Thus once section data attached to an objfile
pointer is released, the section map associated with the program-space
data pointer must be marked dirty to ensure that update_section_map is
called to prevent stale data being referenced. For the matter at hand
this marking is being done via a call to objfiles_changed.
Before commit 3e29f34 objfiles_changed could be called after all of
the objfile pointers were processed in reread_symbols since section
data references via the program-space data pointer would not occur in
the calls of read_symbols performed by reread_symbols.
With commit 3e29f34 MIPS target specific calls to find_pc_section were
added to the code for DWARF information processing, which is called
via read_symbols. Thus in reread_symbols the call to objfiles_changed
needs to be called before calling read_symbols, otherwise stale
section data can be referenced.
Thanks to Luis Machado for providing text for the main comment
associated with the change.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

When we add alias command, we call add_alias_cmd and pass the alias name

commands are already added to cmdlist. This may not be true, for example,
add_com_alias ("tty", "set inferior-tty", class_alias, 0);
"inferior-tty" command is added to setlist, but setlist may not be added

called) so that we can't find "set inferior-tty" from cmdlist.

I noticed that backslash_in_multi_line_command_test in
gdb.base/commands.exp failed on our RHEL6 servers. I traced it to the
old version of DejaGnu (1.4.4). I have found that instead of receiving
the expected:
"print \\\nargc\n"
gdb received:
"print argc\n"
thus breaking the test and its purpose. Versionof DejaGnu < 1.5 mess
up sending "\\\n", it somehow gets replaced with a space. I found that
the following commit in DejaGnu fixed the issue:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dejagnu.git/commit/lib/remote.exp?id=3f39294f5cd6802858838d3bcc0ccce847ae17f2
Even though the commit is almost 10 years old, the following release of
DejaGnu was only in 2013, which is why we still have systems with the
old code.

With commit 3b12939dfc ("Replace the sync_execution global with a
new enum prompt_state tristate"), GDB started aborting if you try
splitting an input line with a continuation char (backslash) while in
a multi-line command:
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
>print \
(gdb) 1 # note "(gdb)" incorrectly printed here.
>end
readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
$
That abort is actually a symptom of an old problem introduced when
gdb_readline_wrapper was rewritten to use asynchronous readline, back
in 2007. Note how the "(gdb)" prompt is printed above in the "(gdb)
1" line. Clearly it shouldn't be there, but it already was before the
commit mentioned above. Fixing that also fixes the readline abort
shown above.
The problem starts when command_line_input passes a NULL prompt to
gdb_readline_wrapper when it finds previous incomplete input due to a
backslash, trying to fetch more input without printing another ">"
secondary prompt. That itself should not be a problem, because
passing NULL to gdb_readline_wrapper has the same meaning as passing a
pointer to empty string, since gdb_readline_wrapper exposes the same
interface as 'readline(char *)'. However, gdb_readline_wrapper passes
the prompt argument directly to display_gdb_prompt, and for the
latter, a NULL prompt argument has a different meaning - it requests
printing the primary prompt.
Before commit 782a7b8ef9c096 (which rewrote gdb_readline_wrapper to
use asynchronous readline), GDB behaved like this:
(gdb) commands
[....]
>print \
1
>end
(gdb)
The above is what this commit restores GDB back to.
New test included.

From the backtrace, it's caused by this 'delete' on tui_restore_gdbout():

714 delete gdb_stdout;
The problem is simply that the commit mentioned above made the ui_file
that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated
string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file. The
fix is simply to remove the now-incorrect delete.
New test included, which exercises enabling all TUI layouts, with and
without execution. (This particular crash only triggers with
execution.)

This is a follow-up to
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00261.html
This patch restricts queries to the main UI, which allows to avoid two
different problems.
The first one is that GDB is issuing queries on secondary MI channels
for which a TTY is allocated. The second one is that GDB is not able to
handle queries on two (CLI) UIs simultaneously. Restricting queries to
the main UI allows to bypass these two problems.
More details on how/why these two problems happen:
1. Queries on secondary MI UI
The current criterion to decide if we should query the user is whether
the input stream is a TTY. The original way to start GDB in MI mode
from a front-end was to create a subprocess with pipes to its
stdin/stdout. In this case, the input was considered non-interactive
and queries were auto-answered. Now that front-ends can create the MI
channel as a separate UI connected to a dedicated TTY, GDB now
considers this input stream as interactive and sends queries to it.
By restricting queries to the main UI, we make sure we never query on
the secondary MI UI.
2. Simultaneous queries
As Pedro stated it, when you have two queries on two different CLI UIs
at the same time, you end up with the following pseudo stack:
#0 gdb_readline_wrapper
#1 defaulted_query // for UI #2#2 handle_command
#3 execute_command ("handle SIGTRAP" ....
#4 stdin_event_handler // input on UI #2#5 gdb_do_one_event
#7 gdb_readline_wrapper
#8 defaulted_query // for UI #1#9 handle_command
#10 execute_command ("handle SIGINT" ....
#11 stdin_event_handler // input on UI #1#12 gdb_do_one_event
#13 gdb_readline_wrapper
trying to answer the query on UI #1 will therefore answer for UI #2.
By restricting the queries to the main UI, we ensure that there will
never be more than one pending query, since you can't have two queries
on a UI at the same time.
I added a snippet to gdb.base/new-ui.exp to verify that we get a query
on the main UI, but that we don't on the secondary one (or, more
precisely, that it gets auto-answered).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (defaulted_query): Don't query on secondary UIs.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/new-ui.exp (do_test): Test queries behavior on main

Currently, the breakpoint documentation refers to some commands taking breakpoint
"ranges" as arguments. We discussed this with Pedro and concluded that it would
be more accurate to speak in terms of breakpoint "lists", whose elements can optionally
be ranges. I also fixed a couple of minor mistakes in the docs.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.c (_initialize_breakpoint): Update the help description
of the 'commands' command to indicate that it takes a list argument.

These failures don't show up with gdbserver or native gdb on Linux because
they don't export any memory maps, therefore the vector of memory regions is
empty.
Outside of that scenario, we can't guarantee the absence of memory regions
reported by the target upon a connection. In our particular target, we
provide a memory map and the memory regions vector ceases to be empty.
With a non-empty memory regions vector, manipulating memory regions will cause
gdb to be more verbose and output text. For example:
memattr.c:require_user_regions
/* Otherwise, let the user know how to get back. */
if (from_tty)
warning (_("Switching to manual control of memory regions; use "
"\"mem auto\" to fetch regions from the target again."));
memattr.c:create_mem_region
if ((lo >= n->lo && (lo < n->hi || n->hi == 0))
|| (hi > n->lo && (hi <= n->hi || n->hi == 0))
|| (lo <= n->lo && ((hi >= n->hi && n->hi != 0) || hi == 0)))
{
printf_unfiltered (_("overlapping memory region\n"));
return;
}
In my particular case i got both of the above messages.
In order to fix this, i've moved the delete_memory proc from
gdb.base/memattr.exp to a new file lib/memory.exp and made lib/gdb.exp
load that file.
For both gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp and gdb.base/memattr.exp the
patch clears all existing memory regions after running to main. That way we
are guaranteed to have a clean state for memory regions so the tests can
exercise whatever they want and have an expected output pattern.

Hi,
GDB calls some APIs from opcodes to do disassembly and provide some
call backs. This model makes troubles on C++ exception unwinding,
because GDB is a C++ program, and opcodes is still compiled as C.
As we can see, frame #10 and #12 are C++, while #frame 11 is C,
#10 0x0000000000544228 in memory_error (err=TARGET_XFER_E_IO, memaddr=<optimized out>) at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/corefile.c:237
#11 0x00000000006b0a54 in print_insn_aarch64 (pc=0, info=0xffffffffeeb0) at ../../binutils-gdb/opcodes/aarch64-dis.c:3185

insn=0xffffffffed40, insn@entry=0xffffffffed90, flags=flags@entry=0,
C++ exception unwinder can't go across frame #11 unless it has
unwind table. However, C program on many architectures doesn't
have it in default. As a result, GDB aborts, which is described
in PR 20939.
This is not the first time we see this kind of problem. We've
had a commit 89525768cd
"Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH".
We can fix the disassembly bug in a similar way, this is the option one.
Since opcodes is built with gdb, we fix this problem in a different
way as we did for the same issue with readline. Instead of throwing
exception in dis_asm_memory_error, we record the failed memory
address, and throw exception when GDB returns from opcodes disassemblers.

The cause is that we want to access some builtin types in gdbarch init, but

The cause is that we want to access some builtin types in gdbarch init, but
it is not initialized yet. I fix it by creating the type when it is to be
used. We've already done this in sparc, sparc64 and m68k.

And hopefully helps catch others in the future.
This started out as a test that simply did,
gdb -ex "print 1.0L"
to exercise #1 above.
Then to cover both 32-bit target / 64-bit host and the converse, I
thought of having the testcase print the floats twice, once with the
architecture set to "i386" and then to "i386:x86-64". This way it
wouldn't matter whether gdb was built as 32-bit or a 64-bit program.
Then I thought that other archs might have similar host/target
floatformat conversion issues as well. Instead of hardcoding some
architectures in the test file, I thought we could just iterate over
all bfd architectures and OS ABIs supported by the gdb build being
tested. This is what then exposed all the other problems listed
above...
With an --enable-targets=all, this exercises over 14 thousand
combinations. If left in a single test file, it all consistenly runs
in under a minute on my machine (An Intel i7-4810MQ @ 2.8 MHZ running
Fedora 23). Split in 8 chunks, as in this commit, it runs in around
25 seconds, with make -j8.
To avoid flooding the gdb.sum file, it avoids calling "pass" on each
tested combination/iteration. I'm explicitly not implementing that by
passing an empty message to gdb_test / gdb_test_multiple, because I
still want a FAIL to be logged in gdb.sum. So instead this puts the
internal passes in the gdb.log file, only, prefixed "IPASS:", for
internal pass. TBC, if some iteration fails, it'll still show up as
FAIL in gdb.sum. If this is an approach that takes on, I can see us
extending the common bits to support it for all testcases.

New in v2:
- A few adjustments / simplifications were possible now that we
require C++11:
. Use std::unique_ptr to make the user_args_stack std::vector own
its elements:
static std::vector<std::unique_ptr<user_args>> user_args_stack;
. use vector::emplace_back to construct elements directly in the
corresponding vectors.
. use std::to_string instead of adding a gdb::to_string
replacement.
- Now includes a test.
Docs/NEWS are unchanged from v1 and have already been approved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently wrote a user-defined command that could benefit from
supporting an unlimited number of arguments:
http://palves.net/list-active-signal-handlers-with-gdb/
E.g., 'info signal-dispositions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11'
However, we currently only support up to 10 arguments passed to
user-defined commands ($arg0..$arg9).
I can't find a good reason for that, other than "old code with hard
coded limits". This patch removes that limit and modernizes the code
along the way:
- Makes the user_args struct a real C++ class that uses std::vector
for storage.
- Removes the "next" pointer from within user_args and uses a
std::vector to maintain a stack instead.
- Adds a new RAII-based scoped_user_args_level class to help
push/pop user args in the stack instead of using a cleanup.

We're missing a test that makes sure that arguments to user-defined
commands are handled correctly when a user-defined command calls
another user-defined command / recurses.
The following patch changes that code, so add such a test first so we
can be confident won't be breaking this use case.

* gdb.base/commands.exp (user_defined_command_args_stack_test):
New procedure.

It'd be handy to be able to iterate over command arguments in
user-defined commands, in order to support optional arguments
($arg0..$argN).
I thought I could make it work with "eval", but alas, it doesn't work
currently. E.g., with:
define test
set $i = 0
while $i < $argc
eval "print $arg%d", $i
set $i = $i + 1
end
end
we get:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = void
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = void
$3 = void
$4 = void
(gdb)
The problem is that "eval" doesn't do user-defined command arguments
substitution after expanding its own argument. This patch fixes that,
which makes the example above work:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = 1
$3 = 2
$4 = 3
(gdb)
New test included, similar the above, but also exercises expanding
$argc.
I think this is likely to simplify many scripts out there, so I'm
adding an example to the manual and mentioning it in NEWS as well.

This fixes a few cases where the testcase is explicitly handling timeouts
inside gdb_test_multiple when it is not necessary.
It also converts two gdb_test_multiple calls to gdb_test_no_output calls
(also removing the timeout handling).
