This parameter is really a boolean, so change the type accordingly
and update the callers.
This is for symbol_set_names, add_psymbol_to_bcache, and
add_psymbol_to_list.
minimal_symbol_reader::record_full was already passing a bool
to symbol_set_names.

Existing callers to init_psymbol_list were checking to see if psymbols
had already been initialized. It seemed better to me to do this check
directly in init_psymbol_list, simplifying the callers.

This changes add_psymbol_to_list to use an enum, rather than a pointer
to a vector, to decide where to put the new symbol. This reduces the
number of direct references to the static_psymbols and global_psymbols
members of the objfile, which is handy in a later patch.

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 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.

This patch finally makes partial symbols and partial symtabs
independent of the program space.
Specifically:
It changes add_psymbol_to_list to accept a section index, and changes
the psymbol readers to pass this. At the same time it removes the
code to add the objfile's section offset to the psymbol.
It adds an objfile argument to the psymtab textlow and texthigh
accessors and changes some code to use the raw variants instead.
It removes the "relocate" method from struct quick_symbol_functions,
as it is no longer needed any more.
It changes partial_symbol::address so that the relevant offset is now
applied at the point of use.

Update.
Right now some psymtab code checks whether a psymtab's textlow or
texthigh fields are valid by comparing against 0.
I imagine this is mildly wrong in the current environment, but once
psymtabs are relocated dynamically, it will no longer be correct,
because it will be much more normal to see a psymtab with a textlow of
zero -- this will just mean it appears at the start of the text
section.
This patch introduces validity bits to handle this situation more
nicely, and changes users of the code to follow.

This introduces accessors for the partial symbol table textlow and
texthigh fields. This lets us later arrange to relocate these values
at their point of use.
I did this conversion by renaming the fields. I didn't rename the
fields back afterward, thinking that on the off chance that someone
has a patch touching this area, then a merge would helpfully break
their compile.
I looked at making the fields private, but this interferes with the
memset in allocate_psymtab, and I didn't want to chase this down.
This conversion can be done later if need be.

This introduces a new header, buildsym-legacy.h, and changes all the
symbol readers to use it. The idea is to put the function-based
interface, that relies on the buildsym_compunit global, into a
separate header. Then when a symbol reader is updated to use the new
interface, it can simply not include buildsym-legacy.h, so it's easy
to be sure that the new API is used everywhere.

This moves the context stack globals to be members of
buildsym_compunit, changing the type to a std::vector in the process.
Because the callers expect the context stack object to be valid after
being popped, at Simon's suggestion I've changed pop_context to return
the object rather than the pointer.

Some testcases needed to be updated as they were missing
.debug_aranges. While that does not matter for no-index (as GDB
builds the mapping internally during dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard) and
neither for .gdb_index (as GDB uses that internally built mapping
which it stores into .gdb_index) it does matter for .debug_names as
that simply assumes existing .debug_aranges from GCC.

The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be

passed.

The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.
It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.

Currently, we have a mess of symbol name hashing/comparison routines.
There's msymbol_hash for mangled names, and dict_hash and
msymbol_hash_iw for demangled names. Then there's strcmp_iw,
strcmp_iw_ordered and Ada's full_match/wild_match, which all have to
agree with the hashing routines. That's why dict_hash is really about
Ada names. From the inconsistency department, minimal symbol hashing
doesn't go via dict_hash, so Ada's wild matching can't ever work with
minimal symbols.
This patch starts fixing this, by doing two things:
#1 - adds a language vector method to let each language decide how to
compute a symbol name hash.
#2 - makes dictionaries know the language of the symbols they hold,
and then use the dictionaries language to decide which hashing
method to use.
For now, this is just scaffolding, since all languages install the
default method. The series will make C++ install its own hashing
method later on, and will add per-language symbol name comparison
routines too.
This patch was originally based on a patch that Keith wrote for the
libcc1/C++ WIP support.

psymbol_allocation_list is basically a vector implementation. We can
replace it with an std::vector, now that objfile has been C++-ified.
I sent this to the buildbot, there are a few suspicious failures, but
I don't think they are related to this patch. For example on powerpc:
new FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: execve: syscall execve has returned
new FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: execve: continue to main
new FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: execve: continue until exit
I get the same failures when testing manually on gcc112, without this
patch.

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.
This makes these flag types be "enum flag" types. The benefit is
making use of C++'s stronger typing -- mixing the flags types by
mistake errors at compile time.
This caught one old bug in symbol_file_add_main_1 already, fixed by
this patch as well:
@@ -1318,7 +1326,7 @@ symbol_file_add_main_1 (const char *args, int from_tty, int flags)
what is frameless. */
reinit_frame_cache ();
- if ((flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)
+ if ((add_flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)
set_initial_language ();
}
Above, "flags" are objfile flags, not symfile_add_flags. So that was
actually checking for "flag & OBJF_PSYMTABS_READ", which has the same
value as SYMFILE_NO_READ...
I moved the flags definitions to separate files to break circular
dependencies.
Built with --enable-targets=all and tested on x86-64 Fedora 23.
