This patch moves gdbserver to the top level.
This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still
builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will
be done in a separate patch.
[v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the
tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes
sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here.
[v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a
new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure
script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver
should be built.
[v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary
top-level dependencies.
[v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how
top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a
single, shared script.
Tested by the buildbot.

This moves many needed configure checks from gdb and gdbserver into
common.m4. This helps gdbsupport, nat, and target be self-contained.
The result is a bit spaghetti-ish, because gdbsupport uses another m4
file from gdb/. The resulting code is somewhat non-obvious. However,
these problems already exist, so it's not really that much worse than
what is already done.

This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is
the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top
level.
The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport".
This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into
the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build.
gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its
own build of gdbsupport.

I noticed that USE_WIN32API is defined separately by gdbserver and

This ensures that empty variables and variables with spaces are handled

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.

There is no need to keep mingw-strerror around; we can just always use
the code from posix-strerror. The main reason we had that code, it
seems, is to handle winsock error codes, but gnulib's version
handles those.
Unfortunately the code can't be moved into common-utils.c because
libinproctrace.so uses common-utils but not gnulib.

XXHash is faster than htab_hash_string:

Unfortunately, XXH3 is still experimental (see
https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash#user-content-new-experimental-hash-algorithm)
However, regular XXH64 is still a lot faster than
htab_hash_string per my benchmark above. I used the
following string for the benchmark:
static constexpr char str[] = "_ZZZL13make_gdb_typeP7gdbarchP10tdesc_typeEN16gdb_type_creator19make_gdb_type_flagsEPK22tdesc_type_with_fieldsE19__PRETTY_FUNCTION__";
htab_hash_string is currently 4.35% + 7.98% (rehashing) of gdb
startup when attaching to Chrome's content_shell.
An additional 5.21% is spent in msymbol_hash, which does not use
this hash function. Unfortunately, since it has to lowercase the
string, it can't use this hash function.
BM_msymbol_hash 52 ns 52 ns 13281495
It may be worth investigating if strlen+XXHash is still faster than
htab_hash_string, which would make it easier to use in more places.
Debian ships xxhash as libxxhash{0,-dev}. Fedora ships it as xxhash-devel.

My earlier patch -- commit c5adaa192 ("Fix creation of stamp-h by
gdb's configure script") -- broke the creation of nm.h. In
particular, configure removes nm.h, so if you touch configure and
rebuild, nothing will re-create the link, breaking the build.
This patch fixes the bug, and also updates configure.ac to use
AC_CONFIG_LINKS, rather than the obsolete AC_LINK_FILES.
Finally, I noticed that gcore is in generated_files in the
Makefile.in. I think this is incorrect, as generated_files is only
needed for files that can be the target of a #include. So, this patch
removes it.

config.status: config.h is unchanged

works to use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS and then create the stamp file via the

Currently, no release of GNU Source Highlight supports Rust. However,
I've checked in a patch to do so there, and I plan to make a new
release sometime this summer.
This patch prepares gdb for that by adding support for Rust to the
source highlighting code.
Because Source Highlight will throw an exception if the language is
unrecognized, this also changes gdb to ignore exceptions here. This
will cause gdb to fall back to un-highlighted source text.
This updates gdb's configure script to reject the combination of
Source Highlight and -static-libstdc++. This is done because it's not
possible to use -static-libstdc++ and then catch exceptions from a
shared library.
Tested with the current and development versions of Source Highlight.

This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function.
It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is
thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any
library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these
functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc
ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is
apparently itself being slowly deprecated.
So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the
autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No
testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

This patch moves the gdb/gnulib subdirectory to the top level.
It adjusts the top-level build system to build gnulib when necessary,
and changes gdb to use this. However, gdbserver still builds its own
copy of gnulib, just from the new source location.
A small hack was needed to ensure that gnulib is only built when gdb
is enabled. The Makefile only provides an ordering -- the directory
must be mentioned in configdirs to actually be compiled at all.
Most of the patch is just a "git mv" of gnulib, though a few minor
path adjustments were needed in some files there.
Tested by the buildbot.

PR tui/14126 notes that ANSI terminal escape sequences don't affect
the colors shown in the TUI. A simple way to see this is to try the
extended-prompt example from the gdb manual.
Curses does not pass escape sequences through to the terminal.
Instead, it replaces non-printable characters with a visible
representation, for example "^[" for the ESC character.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a simple ANSI terminal sequence
parser to gdb. These sequences are decoded and those that are
recognized are turned into the appropriate curses calls.
The curses approach to color handling is unusual and so there are some
oddities in the implementation.
Standard curses has no notion of the default colors of the terminal.
So, if you set the foreground color, it is not possible to reset it --
you have to pick some other color. ncurses provides an extension to
handle this, so this patch updates configure and uses it when
available.
Second, in curses, colors always come in pairs: you cannot set just
the foreground. This patch handles this by tracking actually-used
pairs of colors and keeping a table of these for reuse.
Third, there are a limited number of such pairs available. In this
patch, if you try to use too many color combinations, gdb will just
ignore some color changes.
Finally, in addition to limiting the number of color pairs, curses
also limits the number of colors. This means that, when using
extended 8- or 24-bit color sequences, it may be possible to exhaust
the curses color table.
I am very sour on the curses design now.
I do not know how to write a test for this, so I did not.

Not all sed implementations support alternation via \| in the default

-e for $debugdir and $datadir. This fixes the default setting of the

Commit
e418a61a67 ("Move mkdir_recursive to common/filestuff.c")
moved this code, but also removed the HAVE_MKDTEMP guard which prevented
the mkdtemp call to be compiled on mingw.
We can either put back the HAVE_MKDTEMP ifdef, or import the gnulib
mkdtemp module, which provides the function for mingw. Since the
mkdir_recursive is susceptible to be used on mingw at some point, I
think it would be nice to have it tested on mingw, so I did the latter.
Once built, I tested it on Windows (copied the resulting gdb.exe on a
Windows machine, ran it, and ran "maint selftest mkdir_recursive"). It
failed, because the temporary directory is hardcoded to "/tmp/...". I
therefore added and used a new get_standard_temp_dir function, which
returns an appropriate temporary directory for the host platform.

This is a follow-up of:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-08/msg00347.html
Instead of going throttle and always enabling our selftests (even in
non-development builds), this patch is a bit more conservative and
introduces a configure option ("--enable-unit-tests") that allows the
user to choose whether she wants unit tests in the build or not. Note
that the current behaviour is retained: if no option is provided, GDB
will have selftests included in a development build, and will *not*
have selftests included in a non-development build.
The rationale for having this option is still the same: due to the
many racy testcases and random failures we see when running the GDB
testsuite, it is unfortunately not possible to perform a full test
when one is building a downstream package. As the Fedora GDB
maintainer and one of the Debian GDB uploaders, I feel like this
situation could be improved by, at least, executing our selftests
after the package has been built.
This patch introduces no regressions to our build.
OK?

The Python CFLAGS include -DNDEBUG. This was apparently done
intentionally -- setting the flags is done manually because, according
to a comment, python-config passes too many things to the compiler
(which is true).
Per PR python/20445, this patch changes configure so that -DNDEBUG is
only used by release builds. This probably doesn't have very much
effect in practice, but I did see that some Python headers use assert,
so perhaps it will give some safety.

After looking into why the build failed for Simon but not for me, we
found that the underlying cause was due to how gcc treats
-Wformat-nonliteral. gcc requires -Wformat to be given first; but
warning.m4 was not doing this, so -Wformat-nonliteral was not being
used.
This patch changes warning.m4 to account gcc's requirement.
