Currently, a previous command can be repeated when the user types an
empty line. This is implemented in handle_line_of_input by
returning saved_command_line in case an empty line has been input.
If we want a command to repeat the previous command, we need to save
the previous saved_command_line, as when a command runs, the saved_command_line
already contains the current command line of the command being executed.
As suggested by Tom, the previous_saved_command_line is made static.
At the same time, saved_command_line is also made static.
The support functions/variables for the repeat command logic are now all
located inside top.c.

save_command_line): New declarations.
(dont_repeat): Add comment.
This makes exception handling more efficient in a few spots, through
the use of const- and rvalue-references.
I wrote this patch by commenting out the gdb_exception copy
constructor and then examining the resulting error messages one by
one, introducing the use of std::move where appropriate.

The GCC Guality testsuite within GCC compiles C/C++ files in GCC at
various optimization levels then debugs them in GDB, checking that
program values can be read. This is done within the dejagnu framework.
The new style options in GDB have broken many of the tests due to the
testsuite being unable to process the new control characters. The fix
in Guality is to either to improve the string matching or to disable
styling on the cli or init file (after checking gdb is recent enough
to support styling).
This fix will also need making an any other testsuites in the wild
that use GDB.
An alternative would be to automatically disable styling when using GDB
in batch mode. The reasoning here is that batch mode is only used when
automating GDB and any output will be processed later either with text
processing tools or viewed in text editors, many of these will not
correctly handle the control characters by default. This ensures GDB
continues to work as expected. Anyone who explicitly wants styling in
batch mode can enable it either in the init file or adding to the batch
file - but that would not be the standard use case.
Patch simply disables style after reading the batch command flag, before
reading in the init file or batch file.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* main.c (captured_main_1): Disable styling in batch mode.
This removes most uses of ALL_OBJFILES, replacing them with ranged for
loops. The remaining uses are all in macros, and will be removed in
subsequent patches.

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.
Alan recently added a way for BFD library users to check whether they
were in fact loading a compatible version of BFD:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2018-10/msg00198.html
It seemed reasonable to me that gdb should do this check as well, in
case someone is dynamically linking against BFD.
Simon pointed out that an earlier version of the patch would cause a
gdb crash if the test failed. This version works around this by
lowering the call to bfd_init and adding a comment explaining where
'error' can safely be called in captured_main_1.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-10-30 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* main.c (captured_main_1): Check return value of bfd_init.
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 gets rid of this warning on macOS:
CXX main.o
/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:492:27: error: 'sbrk' is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
lim_at_start = (char *) sbrk (0);

sbrk on macOS is not useful for our purposes, since sbrk(0) always
returns the same value. From what I read, brk/sbrk on macOS is just an
emulation, it always returns a pointer in a 4MB section reserved for
that.
So instead of letting users use "maint set per-command space on" and
print silly results, I think we should just disable that feature for
this platform (as we do for platforms that don't have sbrk).
I defined a HAVE_USEFUL_SBRK macro and used that instead of HAVE_SBRK.

* common/common-defs.h (HAVE_USEFUL_SBRK): Define.

This is a bit on the wordy side, but also references interactive

This patch removes some text from --version, while leaving it in the
"show version" output. It also adds a newline between the URLs and
the "For help, ..." text, because I thought that was easier to read.
Finally, it indents one of the URLs, since that was simpler to read,
but not the other URL, because the current format is specified by the
GNU coding standards section on "--version".
Now the --version output looks like:

This commit moves the path manipulation routines found on utils.c to a
new common/pathstuff.c, and updates the Makefile.in's accordingly.
The routines moved are "gdb_realpath", "gdb_realpath_keepfile" and
"gdb_abspath".
This will be needed because gdbserver will have to call "gdb_abspath"
on my next patch, which implements a way to expand the path of the
inferior provided by the user in order to allow specifying just the
binary name when starting gdbserver, like:
$ gdbserver :1234 a.out
With the recent addition of the startup-with-shell feature on
gdbserver, this scenario doesn't work anymore if the user doesn't have
the current directory listed in the PATH variable.
I had to do a minor adjustment on "gdb_abspath" because we don't have
access to "tilde_expand" on gdbserver, so now the function is using
"gdb_tilde_expand" instead. Otherwise, the code is the same.
Regression tested on the BuildBot, without regressions.

At https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18653#c7, Andrew
reports that the fix for PR gdb/18653 made GDB useless if you preload
libSegFault.so, because GDB internal-errors on startup:
$ LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so gdb
src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c:64: internal-error: unexpected signal handler
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Aborted (core dumped)
$
The internal error comes from the code saving the signal dispositions
inherited from gdb's parent:
(top-gdb) bt

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.

After commit bf46927112 ("Eliminate catch_errors"), GCC started
inlining captured_command_loop in captured_main. And setting a
breakpoint on captured_command_loop makes the inferior GDB stop in
captured_main, _after_ captured_command_loop's call to
interp_pre_command_loop, which prints the inferior GDB's prompt, has
already executed, confusing the gdb.gdb/ selftest tests:

* main.c (captured_command_loop): Add attribute noinline.
If you want to use catch_errors with a function with parameters, then
currently you have to manually write a "capture" struct wrapping the
arguments and marshall/unmarshall that.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-09/msg00834.html proposed
adjusting catch_errors to use gdb::function_view, which would allow
passing lambdas with automatic captures. However, it seems like using
TRY/CATCH directly instead ends up producing clearer and easier to
debug code. This is what this commit does.
Note that removing catch_errors exposes further cleanup opportunities
around no longer having to follow catch_errors callback type, and also
removes a few cleanups.
I didn't do anything to save/restore current_uiout because I think
that should be the responsibility of the code that changes
current_uiout in the first place.
(Another approach could be to make catch_errors a variadic template
like:
template<typename Function, typename... Args>
int catch_errors (const char *errstring, return_mask mask,
Function &&func, Args... args);
and then with:
extern void function_with_args (int, int);
extern void function_with_no_args ();
calls to the above functions would be wrapped like this:
catch_errors ("some error happened", RETURN_MASK_ERROR,
function_with_args, arg1, arg2);
catch_errors ("some error happened", RETURN_MASK_ERROR,
function_with_no_args);
but I'm thinking that that doesn't improve much if at all either.)

Currently we have "current_directory" and "gdb_dirbuf" globals, which
means that we basically have two possible places to consult when we
want to know GDB's current working directory.
This is not ideal and can lead to confusion. Moreover, the way we're
using "gdb_difbuf" along with "getcwd" is problematic because we
declare the buffer with "1024" elements hardcoded, which does not take
into account longer pathnames that are possible in many filesystems.
Using "PATH_MAX" would also not be a solution because of portability
problems. Therefore, the best solution is to rely on the fact that
"getcwd (NULL, 0)" will "do the right thing" and return a
heap-allocated string containing the full path. With the new "getcwd"
module from gnulib, it is now possible to do that without worrying
about breaking some host.
With this patch "current_directory" is now the only place to check for
GDB's cwd.

& [ ]
It's quite easy to get rid of it by using &foo[len] instead of foo + len.
I think this warning is relevant to keep enabled, because it can be an
easy mistake to do.
This warning is already discussed here in GCC bugzilla:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-06/msg00729.html
and a patch series for it was submitted very recently.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* main.c (get_init_files): Replace "SYSTEM_GDBINIT +
datadir_len" with "&SYSTEM_GDBINIT[datadir_len]".
This patch starts from the desire to eliminate
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete, but then goes beyond. It makes ui_file &
friends a real C++ class hierarchy, and switches temporary
ui_file-like objects to stack-based allocation.
- mem_fileopen -> string_file
mem_fileopen is replaced with a new string_file class that is treated
as a value class created on the stack. This alone eliminates most
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete calls, and, simplifies code a whole lot
(diffstat shows around 1k loc dropped.)
string_file's internal buffer is a std::string, thus the "string" in
the name. This simplifies the implementation much, compared to
mem_fileopen, which managed growing its internal buffer manually.
- ui_file_as_string, ui_file_strdup, ui_file_obsavestring all gone
The new string_file class has a string() method that provides direct
writable access to the internal std::string buffer. This replaced
ui_file_as_string, which forced a copy of the same data the stream had
inside. With direct access via a writable reference, we can instead
move the string out of the string_stream, avoiding deep string
copying.
Related, ui_file_xstrdup calls are replaced with xstrdup'ping the
stream's string, and ui_file_obsavestring is replaced by
obstack_copy0.
With all those out of the way, getting rid of the weird ui_file_put
mechanism was possible.
- New ui_file::printf, ui_file::puts, etc. methods
These simplify / clarify client code. I considered splitting
client-code changes, like these, e.g.:
- stb = mem_fileopen ();
- fprintf_unfiltered (stb, "%s%s%s",
- _("The valid values are:\n"),
- regdesc,
- _("The default is \"std\"."));
+ string_file stb;
+ stb.printf ("%s%s%s",
+ _("The valid values are:\n"),
+ regdesc,
+ _("The default is \"std\"."));
In two steps, with the first step leaving fprintf_unfiltered (etc.)
calls in place, and only afterwards do a pass to change all those to
call stb.printf etc.. I didn't do that split, because (when I tried),
it turned out to be pointless make-work: the first pass would have to
touch the fprintf_unfiltered line anyway, to replace "stb" with
"&stb".
- gdb_fopen replaced with stack-based objects
This avoids the need for cleanups or unique_ptr's. I.e., this:
struct ui_file *file = gdb_fopen (filename, "w");
if (filename == NULL)
perror_with_name (filename);
cleanups = make_cleanup_ui_file_delete (file);
// use file.
do_cleanups (cleanups);
is replaced with this:
stdio_file file;
if (!file.open (filename, "w"))
perror_with_name (filename);
// use file.
- odd contorsions in null_file_write / null_file_fputs around when to
call to_fputs / to_write eliminated.
- Global null_stream object
A few places that were allocating a ui_file in order to print to
"nowhere" are adjusted to instead refer to a new 'null_stream' global
stream.
- TUI's tui_sfileopen eliminated. TUI's ui_file much simplified
The TUI's ui_file was serving a dual purpose. It supported being used
as string buffer, and supported being backed by a stdio FILE. The
string buffer part is gone, replaced by using of string_file. The
'FILE *' support is now much simplified, by making the TUI's ui_file
inherit from stdio_file.

The following testcases make GDB crash whenever an invalid sysroot is

gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp
gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp
The immediate cause of the segv is that follow_exec is passing a NULL
argument (the result of exec_file_find) to strlen.
However, the problem is deeper than that: follow_exec simply isn't
prepared for the case where sysroot translation fails to locate the
new executable. Actually all callers of exec_file_find have bugs due
to confusion between host and target pathnames. This commit attempts
to fix all that.
In terms of the testcases that were formerly segv'ing, GDB now prints
a warning but continues execution of the new program, so that the
tests now mostly FAIL instead. You could argue the FAILs are due to a
legitimate problem with the test environment setting up the sysroot
translation incorrectly.
A new representative test is added which exercises the ne wwarning
code path even with native testing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

The std::{min,max} patch caused build failures when configuring GDB
with with --disable-nls and using GCC 4.1.
The reason is this bit in common/gdb_locale.h:
#ifdef ENABLE_NLS
...
#else
# define gettext(Msgid) (Msgid)
...
#endif
This causes problems if the <libintl.h> header is first included at
any point after "gdb_locale.h".
Specifically, the gettext&co declarations in libintl.h:
extern char *gettext (__const char *__msgid)
__THROW __attribute_format_arg__ (1);
end up broken after preprocessing:
extern char *(__const char *__msgid)
throw () __attribute__ ((__format_arg__ (1)));
After the std::min/std::max change to include <algorithm>, this now
happens with at least the GCC 4.1 copy of <algorithm>, which includes
<libintl.h> via <bits/stl_algobase.h>, <iosfwd>, and
<bits/c++locale.h>.
The fix is to simply remove the troublesome *gettext and *textdomain
macros, leaving only the _ and N_ ones.

2016-09-19 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/gdb_locale.h [!ENABLE_NLS] (gettext, dgettext, dcgettext,
textdomain, bindtextdomain): Delete macros.
* main.c (captured_main) [!ENABLE_NLS]: Skip bintextdomain and

gdb's (or gdbserver's) own signal handling should not interfere with
the signal dispositions their spawned children inherit. However, it
currently does. For example, some paths in gdb cause SIGPIPE to be
set to SIG_IGN, and as consequence, the child starts with SIGPIPE to
set to SIG_IGN too, even though gdb was started with SIGPIPE set to
SIG_DFL.
This is because the exec family of functions does not reset the signal
disposition of signals that are set to SIG_IGN:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/execve.html
Signals set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the calling process
image are set to the default action in the new process
image. Signals set to be ignored (SIG_IGN) by the calling process
image are set to be ignored by the new process image. Signals set to
be caught by the calling process image are set to the default action
in the new process image (see <signal.h>).
And neither does it reset signal masks or flags.
In order to be transparent, when spawning new child processes to debug
(with "run", etc.), reset signal actions and mask back to what was
originally inherited from gdb/gdbserver's parent, just before execing
the target program to debug.

With all the previous plumbing in place, it's now easy to add a
command that actually creates a new console/mi UI.
The intended use case is to make it possible and easy for MI frontends
to provide a fully featured GDB console to users, with readline
support, command line editing, history, etc., just like if gdb was
started on the command line. Currently MI frontends have to try to
implement all of that theirselves and make use of "-interpreter-exec
console ...", which is far from perfect. If you ever tried Eclipse's
gdb console window, you'll know what I mean...
Instead of trying to multiplex console through MI, this command let's
just leverage all the built in readline/editing support already inside
gdb.
The plan is for the MI frontend to start GDB in regular console mode,
running inside a terminal emulator widget embedded in Eclipse (which
already exists, for supporting the shell widget; other frontends have
similar widgets), and then tell GDB to run a full MI interpreter on an
specified input/output device, independent of the console.
My original prototype planned to do things the other way around --
start GDB in MI mode, and then start an extra CLI console on separate
tty. I handed over that prototype to Marc Khouzam @ Eclipse CDT, and
after experimentation and discussion, we ended up concluding that
starting GDB in CLI mode instead was both easier and actually also
supported an interesting use case -- connect an Eclipse frontend to a
GDB that is already running outside Eclipse.
The current usage is "new-ui <interpreter> <tty>".
E.g., on a terminal run this scriplet:
$ cat gdb-client
#!/bin/bash
reset
tty
tail -f /dev/null
$ gdb-client
/dev/pts/15
Now run gdb on another terminal, and tell it to start a MI interpreter
on the tty of the other terminal:
...
(gdb) new-ui mi /dev/pts/15
New UI allocated
Now back to the the gdb-client terminal, we'll get an MI prompt, ready
for MI input:
/dev/pts/15
=thread-group-added,id="i1"
(gdb)
You can also start a new UI running a CLI, with:
(gdb) new-ui console /dev/pts/15
Though note that this console won't support readline command editing.
It works as if "set editing off" was entered.

(init_main): Install the "new-ui" command.
This commit makes each UI have its own "stdin" stream pointer. This
is used to determine whether the "from_tty" argument to
execute_command, etc. should be true.
Related, this commit makes input_from_terminal_p take an UI parameter,
and then avoids the gdb_has_a_terminal in it. gdb_has_a_terminal only
returns info on gdb's own main/primary terminal (the real stdin).
However, the places that call input_from_terminal_p really want to
know is whether the command came from an interactive tty. This patch
thus renames input_from_terminal_p to input_interactive_p for clarity,
and then makes input_interactive_p check for "set interactive" itself,
along with ISATTY, instead of calling gdb_has_a_terminal. Actually,
quit_force wants to call input_interactive_p _after_ stdin is closed,
we can't call ISATTY that late. So instead we save the result of
ISATTY in a field of the UI.

The change to gdb_main to stop using catch_errors is necessary because
catch_errors references current_uiout, which expands to
current_ui->m_current_ui, which would crash because current_ui is not
initialized yet at that point. It didn't trigger earlier in the
series because before this patch, main_ui/current_ui always start out
non-NULL.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* event-top.c (main_ui_): Delete.
(main_ui, current_ui, ui_list): No longer initialize here.
* main.c (captured_main): UI initialization code factored out to
new new_ui function.
(gdb_main): Wrap captured_main with TRY/CATCH instead of
catch_errors.
* top.c (highest_ui_num): New global.
(new_ui): New function.
* top.h (struct ui) <num>: New field.
(new_ui): New declaration.
When sync_execution (a boolean) is true, it means we're running a
foreground command -- we hide the prompt stop listening to input, give
the inferior the terminal, then go to the event loop waiting for the
target to stop.
With multiple independent UIs, we need to track whether each UI is
synchronously blocked waiting for the target. IOW, if you do
"continue" in one console, that console stops accepting commands, but
you should still be free to type other commands in the others
consoles.
Just simply making sync_execution be per-UI alone not sufficient,
because of this in fetch_inferior_event:
/* If the inferior was in sync execution mode, and now isn't,
restore the prompt (a synchronous execution command has finished,
and we're ready for input). */
if (current_ui->async && was_sync && !sync_execution)
observer_notify_sync_execution_done ();
We'd have to record at entry the "was_sync" state for each UI, not
just of the current UI.
This patch instead replaces the sync_execution flag by a per-UI
tristate flag indicating the command line prompt state:
enum prompt_state
{
/* The command line is blocked simulating synchronous execution.
This is used to implement the foreground execution commands
('run', 'continue', etc.). We won't display the prompt and
accept further commands until the execution is actually over. */
PROMPT_BLOCKED,
/* The command finished; display the prompt before returning back to
the top level. */
PROMPT_NEEDED,
/* We've displayed the prompt already, ready for input. */
PROMPTED,
;
I think the end result is _much_ clearer than the current code, and,
it addresses the original motivation too.

(continue_1): Check the current UI's prompt state instead of the

instead of trying to determine whether the global sync execution
changed.
(handle_no_resumed): Check the prompt state of all UIs.
(normal_stop): Emit the no unwait-for even to all PROMPT_BLOCKED
UIs. Emit the "Switching to" notification to all UIs. Enable
stdin in all UIs.

* target.c (target_terminal_inferior): Adjust to check the prompt
state.
* top.c (wait_sync_command_done, maybe_wait_sync_command_done)
(execute_command): Check the current UI's prompt state instead of

(struct ui) <prompt_state>: New field.
(ALL_UIS): New macro.
All interpreter types (CLI/TUI/MI) print the prompt, and then call
start_event_loop.
Because we'll need an interpreter hook to display the
interpreter-specific prompt before going back to the event loop,
without actually starting an event loop, this patch moves the
start_event_loop call to common code, and replaces the command_loop
hook with a pre_command_look hook, that now just prints the prompt.
Turns out to be a cleanup on its own right anyway.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* cli/cli-interp.c (cli_interpreter_pre_command_loop): New
function.

stderr_fileopen () references stderr directly, which doesn't work when
we have a separate UI with its own stderr-like stream. So this also
adds a "errstream" to "struct ui", and plumbs stderr_fileopen to take
a stream parameter.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* event-top.c (gdb_setup_readline): Pass the UI's outstream and
errstream to stdout_fileopen and stderr_fileopen.
* exceptions.c: Include top.h.
(print_flush): Open the current UI's outstream file descriptor,
instead of hardcoding file descriptor 1.
* main.c (captured_main): Save the main UI's out and error
streams. Adjust stderr_fileopen call.
* top.h (struct ui) <outstream, errstream>: New fields.
* ui-file.c (stderr_fileopen): Add stream parameter. Use it
instead of stderr.
* ui-file.h (stderr_fileopen): Add stream parameter and update
comment.
And with that, we can switch the current UI to the UI whose input
descriptor woke up the event loop. IOW, if the user types in UI 2,
the event loop wakes up, switches to UI 2, and processes the input.
Next the user types in UI 3, the event loop wakes up and switches to
UI 3, etc.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* top.h (struct ui) <input_fd>: New field.
If every UI instance has its own set of interpreters, then the current
scheme of creating the interpreters at GDB initialization time no
longer works. We need to create them whenever a new UI instance is
created.
The scheme implemented here has each interpreter register a factory
callback that when called creates a new instance of a specific
interpreter type. Then, when some code in gdb looks up an interpreter
(always by name), if there's none yet, the factory method is called to
construct one.
