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.

Errors that happen in nested sourced files (when a sourced file sources
another file) lead to a wrong error message, or use-after-free.
For example, if I put this in "a.gdb":
command_that_doesnt_exist
and this in "b.gdb":
source a.gdb
and try to "source b.gdb" in GDB, the result may look like this:
(gdb) source b.gdb
b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file:
_that_doesnt_exist:1: Error in sourced command file:
Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist". Try "help".
Notice the wrong file name where "a.gdb" should be. The exact result
may differ, depending on the feelings of the memory allocator.
What happens is:
- The "source a.gdb" command is saved by command_line_append_input_line
in command_line_input's static buffer.
- Since we are sourcing a file, the script_from_file function stores the
script name (a.gdb) in the source_file_name global. However, it doesn't
do a copy, it just saves a pointer to command_line_input's static buffer.
- The "command_that_doesnt_exist" command is saved by
command_line_append_input_line in command_line_input's static buffer.
Depending on what xrealloc does, source_file_name may now point to
freed memory, or at the minimum the data it was pointing to was
overwritten.
- When the error is handled in script_from_file, we dererence
source_file_name to print the name of the file in which the error
occured.
To fix it, I made source_file_name an std::string, so that keeps a copy of
the file name instead of pointing to a buffer with a too small
lifetime.
With this patch, the expected filename is printed, and no use-after-free
occurs:
(gdb) source b.gdb
b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file:
a.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file:
Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist". Try "help".
I passed explicit template parameters to make_scoped_restore
(<std::string, const std::string &>), so that the second parameter is
passed by reference and avoid a copy.
It was not as obvious as I first thought to change gdb.base/source.exp
to test this, because source commands inside sourced files are
interpreted relative to GDB's current working directory, not the
directory of the currently sourced file. As a workaround, I moved the
snippet that tests errors after the snippet that adds the source
directory to the search path. This way, the "source source-error-1.gdb"
line in source-error.exp manages to find the file.
For reference, here is what ASAN reports when use-after-free occurs:
(gdb) source b.gdb

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free /build/gcc/src/gcc/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors_format.inc:546 in printf_common
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.h (source_file_name): Change to std::string.
* top.c (source_file_name): Likewise.
(command_line_input): Adjust.
* cli/cli-script.c (script_from_file): Adjust.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/source.exp: Move "error in sourced script" code to
the end.
* gdb.base/source-error.gdb: Move contents to
source-error-1.gdb. Add new code to source source-error-1.gdb.
* gdb.base/source-error-1.gdb: New file, from previous
source-error.gdb.
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 changes ui::input_handler to take a unique_xmalloc_ptr. This
clarifies the ownership transfer of input_handler's argument.

I happened to notice recently that "gdb --version" says:

For help, type "help".
Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word".
This is a bit on the wordy side, but also references interactive
commands, which I think doesn't really make sense for --version.
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:

* gdb.base/default.exp: Update expected "show version" output.
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.
Tested on the BuildBot.

* gdb.base/readnever.c, gdb.base/readnever.exp: New files.
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.
Tested on the BuildBot.

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.

This changes the users of do_restore_instream_cleanup to use a

current_ui can change in the body of these functions -- but if it can,
then the cleanup would have modified a different UI's instream member.

This fixes PR gdb/20604. The bug here is that passing an invalid
expression to "quit" -- e.g., "quit()" -- causes gdb to enter a
non-functioning state.
The immediate problem is that quit_force resets the terminal before
evaluating the expression. However, it seemed to me that it doesn't
really make sense to pass the quit_force argument to kill_or_detach
(which passes it to to_detach), first because conflating the exit
status for "quit" and the signal to pass when detaching doesn't make
sense, and second because to_detach implementations generally only
accept a constant here, while "quit" accepts an expression. So, I
removed that.
As an aside, I think the "detach SIGNO" functionality is not
documented.

When executing commands on a secondary UI running the MI interpreter,
some commands that should be synchronous are not. MI incorrectly
continues processing input right after the synchronous command is
sent, before the target stops.
The problem happens when we emit MI async events (=library-loaded,
etc.), and we go about restoring the previous terminal state, we end
up calling target_terminal_ours, which incorrectly always installs the
current UI's input_fd in the event loop... That is, code like this:
old_chain = make_cleanup_restore_target_terminal ();
target_terminal_ours_for_output ();
fprintf_unfiltered (mi->event_channel, "library-loaded");
...
do_cleanups (old_chain);
The fix is to move the add_file_handler/delete_file_handler calls out
of target_terminal_$foo, making these completely no-ops unless called
with the main UI as current UI.

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.

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.

Due to the way that readline's API works (based on globals), we can
only have one instance of readline in a process. So the goal of this
patch is to only allow editing in the main UI, and make sure that only
one UI calls into readline. Some MI paths touch readline variables
currently, which is bad as that is changing variables that matter for
the main console UI. This patch fixes those.
This actually fixes a nasty bug -- starting gdb in MI mode ("gdb
-i=mi"), and then doing "set editing on" crashes GDB, because MI is
not prepared to use readline:
set editing on
&"set editing on\n"
=cmd-param-changed,param="editing",value="on"
^done

PR mi/20034
* gdb.mi/mi-editing.exp: New file.
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.

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.

When we have multiple consoles, MI channels, etc., then we need to
broadcast breakpoint hits, etc. to all UIs. In the past, I've
adjusted most of the run control to communicate events to the
interpreters through observer notifications, so events would be
properly sent to console and MI streams, in sync and async modes.
This patch does the next logical step -- have each interpreter's
observers output interpreter-specific info to _all_ UIs.
Note that when we have multiple instances of active cli/tui
interpreters, then the cli_interp and tui_interp globals no longer
work. This is addressed by this patch.
Also, the interpreters currently register some observers when resumed
and remove them when suspended. If we have multiple instances of the
interpreters, and they can be suspended/resumed at different,
independent times, that no longer works. What we instead do is always
install the observers, and then have the observers themselves know
when to do nothing.
An earlier prototype of this series did the looping over struct UIs in
common code, and then dispatched events to the interpreters through a
matching interp_on_foo method for each observer. That turned out a
lot more complicated than the present solution, as we'd end up with
having to create a new interp method every time some interpreter
wanted to listen to some observer notification, resulting in a lot of
duplicated make-work and more coupling than desirable.

Make each UI have its own interpreter list, top level interpreter,

really specific to an struct interp (it crosses interpreter-exec ...),
so I moved it to "struct ui" directly, while the other globals were
left hidden in interps.c, opaque to the rest of GDB.

We need to have these send output to the proper UI.
However, this patch still make them look like globals. Kind of like
__thread variables, if you will. Changing everything throughout to
write something like current_ui->gdb_stdout instead would be massive
overkill, IMNSHO.
This leaves gdb_stdtargin/stdtarg/stdtargerr global, but maybe that was a
mistake, I'm not sure -- IIRC, MI formats target I/O differently, so
if we have a separate MI channel, then I guess target output should go
there instead of to gdb's stdout. OTOH, maybe GDB should send that
instead to "set inferior-tty", instead of multiplexing it over MI. We
can always fix those later when it gets clearer where they should go.

This is a step towards supporting multiple consoles/MIs, each on its
own stdio streams / terminal.
See intro comment in top.h.
(I've had trouble picking a name for this object. I've started out
with "struct console" originally. But then this is about MI as well,
and there's "interpreter-exec console", which is specifically about
the CLI...
So I changed to "struct terminal", but, then we have a terminal object
that works when the input is not a terminal as well ...
Then I sort of gave up and renamed it to "struct top_level". But it
then gets horribly confusing when we talk about the "top level
interpreter that's running on the current top level".
In the end, I realized we're already sort of calling this "ui", in
struct ui_out, struct ui_file, and a few coments here and there.)

I didn't manage to usefully split this further into smaller

- Split out the responsibility of composing a complete command line
from multiple input lines split with backslash
(
E.g.:
(gdb) print \
1 + \
2
$1 = 3
(gdb)
)
to a separate function. Note we don't need the separate
readline_input_state and more_to_come globals at all. They were
just obfuscating the logic.
- Factor out the tricky mostly duplicated code in
command_line_handler and command_line_input.

This patch makes the execution control code use largely the same
mechanisms in both sync- and async-capable targets. This means using
continuations and use the event loop to react to target events on sync
targets as well. The trick is to immediately mark infrun's event loop
source after resume instead of calling wait_for_inferior. Then
fetch_inferior_event is adjusted to do a blocking wait on sync
targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver, with and without
"maint set target-async off".

This patch fixes the following bug in TUI:
(gdb) break foo
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) <ENTER>
By submitting an empty command line to a secondary prompt, the line
corresponding to the secondary prompt is undesirably cleared and
overwritten. Outside of a secondary prompt, clearing the prompt line
after submitting an empty command line is intended behavior which
complements GDB's repeat-command shorthand. But inside a secondary
prompt, this behavior is undesired since the shorthand is not applicable
in that case. We should retain the secondary-prompt line even when it's
given no input.
This patch makes sure that a prompt that was given an empty command line
is cleared and overwritten only if it's not a secondary prompt. To
acheive this, a new predicate is defined which informs us whether the
current input handler is a secondary prompt.

This patch makes readline append new history lines to the GDB history
file on exit instead of overwriting the entire history file on exit.
This change allows us to run multiple simultaneous GDB sessions without
having each session overwrite the added history of each other session on
exit.
Care must be taken to ensure that the history file doesn't get corrupted
when multiple GDB processes are trying to simultaneously append to and
then truncate it. Safety is achieved in such a situation by using an
intermediate local history file to mutually exclude multiple processes
from simultaneously performing write operations on the global history
file.
