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:

and a patch series for it was submitted very recently.

Putting the semicolon on its own line is not a big sacrifice to get rid of this

like this:
while (something);
{

although gcc would warn about it in a different way (misleading indentation).

Ignoring the warning locally is the right thing to do, since it warns
about behavior we want to unit test, while an explicit self-move in
real code would likely be a mistake that we'd want to catch.
To avoid cluttering the code with preprocessor conditionals, this
commit adds the file common/diagnostics.h, in which we can put macros

The commit
d309493 target: consider addressable unit size when reading/writing memory
introduced the possibility of reading memory of targets with
non-8-bit-bytes (e.g. memories that store 16 bits at each address).
The documentation of target_read and target_write was updated
accordingly, but to_xfer_partial, which is very related, wasn't updated.
This commit fixes that.

Even though C++11 supports modifying containers using a const_iterator
(e.g., calling the 'erase' method of a std::vector), early versions of
libstdc++ did not implement that. Some of our buildslaves are using
these versions (e.g., the AArch64 buildslave uses gcc 4.8.8), and my
previous commit causes a breakage on them. The solution is simple:
just use a normal iterator, without const.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-20 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* common/environ.c (gdb_environ::unset): Use '::iterator' instead
of '::const_iterator'.
As part of the preparation necessary for my upcoming task, I'd like to
propose that we turn gdb_environ into a class. The approach taken
here is simple: the class gdb_environ contains everything that is
needed to manipulate the environment variables. These variables are
stored in an std::vector<char *>, which can be converted to a 'char
**' and passed as argument to functions that need it.
The usage has not changed much. As per Pedro's suggestion, this class
uses a static factory method initialization. This means that when an
instance is created, it is initially empty. When needed, it has to be
initialized using the static method 'from_host_environ'.
As mentioned before, this is a preparation for an upcoming work that I
will be posting in the next few weeks or so. For that work, I'll
probably create another data structure that will contain all the
environment variables that were set by the user using the 'set
environment' command, because I'll need access to them. This will be
much easier with the class-ification of gdb_environ.
As noted, this has been regression-tested with the new version of
environ.exp and no regressions were found.

I considered making 'gdb::unlinker::unlinker(const char *)'

static_assert (noexcept (gdb::unlinker (filename.c_str ())), "");

On noMMU platforms, the following code gets compiled:
child_stack = xmalloc (STACK_SIZE * 4);
Where child_stack is a gdb_byte*, and xmalloc() returns a void*. While
the lack of cast is valid in C, it is not in C++, causing the
following build failure:
../nat/linux-ptrace.c: In function 'int linux_fork_to_function(gdb_byte*, int (*)(void*))':
../nat/linux-ptrace.c:273:29: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'gdb_byte* {aka unsigned char*}' [-fpermissive]

clang complains that for some types, we use both the class and struct
keywords in different places. It's not really a problem, so I think we
can safely turn this warning off.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
* warning.m4 (build_warnings): Add -Wno-mismatched-tags.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
In warning.m4, we pass all the warning flags one by one to the compiler
to test if they are supported by this particular compiler. If the
compiler exits with an error, we conclude that this warning flag is not
supported and exclude it. This allows us to use warning flags without
having to worry about which versions of which compilers support each
flag.
clang, by default, only emits a warning if an unknown flag is passed:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
The result is that we think that all the warning flags we use are
supported by clang (they are not), and the compilation fails later when
building with -Werror, since the aforementioned warning becomes an
error. The fix is to also pass -Werror when probing for supported
flags, then we'll correctly get an error when using an unknown warning,
and we'll exclude it:
error: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
I am not sure why there is a change in a random comment in
gdbserver/configure, but I suppose it's a leftfover from a previous
patch, so I included it.

* warning.m4: Pass -Werror to compiler when checking for

Because we are compiling .c files containing C++ code, clang++ complains
with:

alternative is to pass "-x c++" to convince the compiler that we are
really compiling C++. It works fine with GCC too.

Enforce CPU model for disassembler via its options, if it was specified in XML
target description, otherwise use default method of determining CPU implemented
in disassembler - scanning ELF private header. The latter requires
disassemble_info->section to be properly initialized. To make sure that
info->section is set in all cases this patch partially reverts [1] for ARC: it
reinstates arc_delayed_print_insn as a "print_insn" function for ARC, but
now this function only sets disassemble_info->section and then calls
default_print_insn to do the rest of the job.
Support for CPU in disassembler options for ARC has been added in [2].

[PATCH 0/6] Unify the disassembler selection in gdb and objdump

that is, opcodes is able to select the right disassembler, so gdb
doesn't have to select them. Instead, gdb can just use
default_print_insn. As a result, these print_insn_XXX are not used
out of opcodes, so this patch also moves their declarations from

In some cases we've been replacing heap-allocated gdb_byte buffers
managed with xmalloc/make_cleanup(xfree) with gdb::vector<gdb_byte>.
That usually pessimizes the code a little bit because std::vector
value-initializes elements (which for gdb_byte means
zero-initialization), while if you're creating a temporary buffer,
you're most certaintly going to fill it in with some data. An
alternative is to use
unique_ptr<gdb_byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[size]);
but it looks like that's not very popular.
Recently, a use of obstacks in dwarf2read.c was replaced with
std::vector<gdb_byte> and that as well introduced a pessimization for
always memsetting the buffer when it's garanteed that the zeros will
be overwritten immediately. (see dwarf2read.c change in this patch to
find it.)
So here's a different take at addressing this issue "by design":
#1 - Introduce default_init_allocator<T>
I.e., a custom allocator that does default construction using default
initialization, meaning, no more zero initialization. That's the
default_init_allocation<T> class added in this patch.
See "Notes" at
<http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector/resize>.
#2 - Introduce def_vector<T>
I.e., a convenience typedef, because typing the allocator is annoying:
using def_vector<T> = std::vector<T, gdb::default_init_allocator<T>>;
#3 - Introduce byte_vector
Because gdb_byte vectors will be the common thing, add a convenience
"byte_vector" typedef:
using byte_vector = def_vector<gdb_byte>;
which is really the same as:
std::vector<gdb_byte, gdb::default_init_allocator<gdb_byte>>;
The intent then is to make "gdb::byte_vector" be the go-to for dynamic
byte buffers. So the less friction, the better.
#4 - Adjust current code to use it.
To set the example going forward. Replace std::vector uses and also
unique_ptr<byte[]> uses.
One nice thing is that with this allocator, for changes like these:
-std::unique_ptr<byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[some_size]);
+gdb::byte_vector buf (some_size);
fill_with_data (buf.data (), buf.size ());
the generated code is the same as before. I.e., the compiler
de-structures the vector and gets rid of the unused "reserved vs size"
related fields.
The other nice thing is that it's easier to write
gdb::byte_vector buf (size);
than
std::unique_ptr<gdb_byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[size]);
or even (C++14):
auto buf = std::make_unique<gdb_byte[]> (size); // zero-initializes...
#5 - Suggest s/std::vector<gdb_byte>/gdb::byte_vector/ going forward.
Note that this commit actually fixes a couple of bugs where the current
code is incorrectly using "std::vector::reserve(new_size)" and then
accessing the vector's internal buffer beyond the vector's size: see
dwarf2loc.c and charset.c. That's undefined behavior and may trigger
debug mode assertion failures. With default_init_allocator,
"resize()" behaves like "reserve()" performance wise, in that it
leaves new elements with unspecified values, but, it does that safely
without triggering undefined behavior when you access those values.

Trying to build on AIX gives:
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .trace_start_error_with_name(char const*)
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .fork_inferior(char const*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, char**, void (*)(), void (*)(int), void (*)(), char const*, void (*)(char const*, char* const*, char* const*))
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .startup_inferior(int, int, target_waitstatus*, ptid_t*)
Including fork-inferior.o in the build should help. I also factored out
the AIX bits that are not architecture-specific to be consistent with the other
OSes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.nat: Factor out AIX bits that are not
architecture-specific. Add fork-inferior.o.
Since read_pieced_value and write_pieced_value share significant logic,
this patch merges them into a single function rw_pieced_value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (rw_pieced_value): New. Merge logic from...
(read_pieced_value, write_pieced_value): ...here. Reduce to
wrappers that just call rw_pieced_value.
So far write_pieced_value uses write_memory when writing memory pieces to
the target. However, this is a case where GDB potentially overwrites a
watchpoint value. In such a case write_memory_with_notification should be
used instead, so that memory_changed observers get notified.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): When writing the data for a
memory piece, use write_memory_with_notification instead of
write_memory.
The function read_value_memory accepts a parameter embedded_offset and
expects it to represent the byte offset into the given value. However,
the only invocation with a possibly non-zero embedded_offset happens in
read_pieced_value, where a bit offset is passed instead.
Adjust the implementation of read_value_memory to meet the caller's
expectation. This implicitly fixes the invocation in read_pieced_value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* valops.c (read_value_memory): Change embedded_offset to
represent a bit offset instead of a byte offset.
* value.h (read_value_memory): Adjust comment.
In read_pieced_value's main loop, the variables `dest_offset_bits' and
`source_offset_bits' are basically just copies of `offset' and
`bits_to_skip', respectively. In write_pieced_value the copies are
reversed. This is not very helpful when trying to keep the logic between
these functions in sync. Since the copies are unnecessary, this patch
just removes them.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Remove unnecessary variables
dest_offset_bits and source_offset_bits.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
So far GDB ignores the piece offset of all kinds of DWARF bit
pieces (DW_OP_bit_piece) and treats such pieces as if the offset was zero.
This is fixed, and an appropriate test is added.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Respect the piece offset, as
given by DW_OP_bit_piece.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
Andreas Arnez <arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* gdb.dwarf2/var-access.exp: Add test for composite location with
nonzero piece offsets.
So far the main loop in read_pieced_value and write_pieced_value is
structured like this:
(1) Prepare a buffer and some variables we may need;
(2) depending on the DWARF piece type to be handled, use the buffer and
the prepared variables, ignore them, or even recalculate them.
This approach reduces readability and may also lead to unnecessary copying
of data. This patch moves the preparations to the places where sufficient
information is available and removes some of the variables involved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Move the buffer allocation and
some other preparations to the places where sufficient information
is available.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
For big-endian targets the logic in read/write_pieced_value tries to take
a register piece from the LSB end. This requires offsets and sizes to be
adjusted accordingly, and that's where the current implementation has some
issues:
* The formulas for recalculating the bit- and byte-offsets into the
register are wrong. They just happen to yield correct results if
everything is byte-aligned and the piece's last byte belongs to the
given value.
* After recalculating the bit offset into the register, the number of
bytes to be copied from the register is not recalculated. Of course
this does not matter if everything (particularly the piece size) is
byte-aligned.
These issues are fixed. The size calculation is performed with a new
helper function bits_to_bytes().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (bits_to_bytes): New function.
(read_pieced_value): Fix offset calculations for register pieces
on big-endian targets.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/var-access.exp: Add test for non-byte-aligned
register pieces.
When the variable 'buffer_size' in read_pieced_value and
write_pieced_value was introduced, it was needed for tracking the buffer's
allocated size. Now that the buffer's data type has been changed to a
std::vector, the variable is no longer necessary; so remove it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Remove buffer_size variable.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
On big-endian targets, when targeting a bit-field, write_pieced_value
currently transfers the source value's *most* significant bits to the
target value, instead of its least significant bits. This is fixed.
In particular the fix adjusts the initial value of 'offset', which can now
potentially be nonzero. Thus the variable 'type_len' is renamed to
'max_offset', to avoid confusion. And for consistency, the affected logic
that was mirrored in read_pieced_value is changed there in the same way.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): When writing to a bit-field,
transfer the source value's least significant bits, instead of its
lowest-addressed ones. Rename type_len to max_offset.
(read_pieced_value): Mirror above changes to write_pieced_value as
applicable.
In write_pieced_value, when transferring the data to target memory via a
buffer, the bit offset within the target value is not reduced to its
sub-byte fraction before using it as a bit offset into the buffer. This
is fixed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): In DWARF_VALUE_MEMORY,
truncate full bytes from dest_offset_bits before using it as an
offset into the buffer.
In write_pieced_value, when checking whether the data can be transferred
byte-wise, the current logic verifies the source- and destination offsets
to be byte-aligned, but not the transfer size. This is fixed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): Include transfer size in
byte-wise check.
In write_pieced_value, the number of bytes containing a portion of the
bit-field in a given piece is calculated with the wrong starting offset;
thus the result may be off by one. This bug was probably introduced when
copying this logic from read_pieced_value. Fix it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): Fix copy/paste error in the
calculation of this_size.
In the case of targeting a bit-field, read_pieced_value and
write_pieced_value calculate the number of bits preceding the bit-field
without considering the relative offset of the value's parent. This is
relevant for a structure variable like this:
struct s {
uint64_t foo;
struct {
uint32_t bar;
uint32_t bf : 10; /* <-- target bit-field */
} baz;
} s;
In this scenario, if 'val' is a GDB value representing s.baz.bf,
val->parent represents the whole s.baz structure, and the following holds:
- value_offset (val) == sizeof s.baz.bar == 4
- value_offset (val->parent) == sizeof s.foo == 8
The current logic would only use value_offset(val), resulting in the wrong
offset into the target value. This is fixed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Respect parent value's offset
when targeting a bit-field.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
The addr_size field in the piece_closure data structure is a relic from
before introducing the typed DWARF stack. It is obsolete now. This patch
removes it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (struct piece_closure) <addr_size>: Remove field.
(allocate_piece_closure): Drop addr_size parameter.
(dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full): Adjust call to
allocate_piece_closure.
When taking a DW_OP_piece or DW_OP_bit_piece from a DW_OP_stack_value, the
existing logic always takes the piece from the lowest-addressed end, which
is wrong on big-endian targets. The DWARF standard states that the
"DW_OP_bit_piece operation describes a sequence of bits using the least
significant bits of that value", and this also matches the current logic
in GCC. For instance, the GCC guality test case pr54970.c fails on s390x
because of this.
This fix adjusts the piece accordingly on big-endian targets. It is
assumed that:
* DW_OP_piece shall take the piece from the LSB end as well;
* pieces reaching outside the stack value bits are considered undefined,
and a zero value can be used instead.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/21226
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Anchor stack value pieces at
the LSB end, independent of endianness.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/21226
* gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: Add checks for verifying that
stack value pieces are taken from the LSB end.
A field f in a structure composed of DWARF pieces may be located in
multiple pieces, where the first and last of those may contain bits from
other fields as well. So when writing to f, the beginning of the first
and the end of the last of those pieces may have to be skipped. But the
logic in write_pieced_value for handling one of those pieces is flawed
when the first and last piece are the same, i.e., f is contained in a
single piece:
< - - - - - - - - - piece_size - - - - - - - - - ->
+-------------------------------------------------+
| skipped_bits | f_bits | / / / / / / / / / / |
+-------------------------------------------------+
The current logic determines the size of the sub-piece to operate on by
limiting the piece size to the bit size of f and then subtracting the
skipped bits:
min (piece_size, f_bits) - skipped_bits
Instead of:
min (piece_size - skipped_bits, f_bits)
So the resulting sub-piece size is corrupted, leading to wrong handling of
this piece in write_pieced_value.
Note that the same bug was already found in read_pieced_value and fixed
there (but not in write_pieced_value), see PR 15391.
This patch swaps the calculations, bringing them into the same (correct)
order as in read_pieced_value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): Fix order of calculations for
size capping.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/var-pieces.exp: Add test case for modifying a
variable at nonzero offset.
All target descriptions except mips initialization are called in -tdep.c,
instead of -nat.c, so this patch moves mips target descriptions
initialization to -tdep.c. Secondly, I want to change the target
descriptions from pre-generated to dynamical creation, so I want to test
that these pre-generated target descriptions equal to these dynamically
created ones. Move target descriptions initialization to -tdep.c files so
we can test them in any hosts (if they are still -nat.c, we can only test
them on mips-linux host.).
