clang gives this warning:
..../gdb/unittests/environ-selftests.c:139:7: error: explicitly moving variable of type 'gdb_environ' to itself [-Werror,-Wself-move]
env = std::move (env);
~~~ ^ ~~~
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
used to control compiler diagnostics.

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.

* 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.

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.

Hi,
This bug is related to:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00216.html>
On stringify_argv, we have to check if args[0] is not NULL before
stringifying anything, otherwise we might do the wrong thing when
trimming the "ret" string in the end. args[0] will be NULL when no
arguments are passed to the inferior that will be started.
Checked in as obvious.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-08 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* common/common-utils.c (stringify_argv): Check for "arg[0] !=
NULL".
This is the most important (and the biggest, sorry) patch of the
series. It moves fork_inferior from gdb/fork-child.c to
nat/fork-inferior.c and makes all the necessary adjustments to both
GDB and gdbserver to make sure everything works OK.
There is no "most important change" with this patch; all changes are
made in a progressive way, making sure that gdbserver had the
necessary features while not breaking GDB at the same time.
I decided to go ahead and implement a partial support for starting the
inferior with a shell on gdbserver, although the full feature comes in
the next patch. The user won't have the option to disable the
startup-with-shell, and also won't be able to change which shell
gdbserver will use (other than setting the $SHELL environment
variable, that is).
Everything is working as expected, and no regressions were present
during the tests.

This commit moves a few bits responsible for dealing with inferior job
control from GDB to common/, which makes them available to gdbserver.
This is necessary for the upcoming patches that will share
fork_inferior et al between GDB and gdbserver.
We move some parts of gdb/terminal.h to gdb/common/common-terminal.h,
especifically the code that checks terminal features and that are used
to set job_control accordingly.
After sharing parts of gdb/terminal.h, we also to share the two
functions on gdb/inflow.c that are going to be needed by the
fork_inferior rework. They are 'gdb_setpgid' and the new
'have_job_control'. I've also taken the opportunity to give a more
meaningful name to "inflow.c" on common/. Now it is called
"job-control.c" (thanks Pedro for the suggestion).

So, VECs (given it's C roots) rely on memcpy/memcpy of VEC elements to
be well defined, in order to grow/reallocate its internal elements
array. This means that we can only put trivially copyable types in
VECs. E.g., if a type requires using a custom copy/move ctor to
relocate, then we can't put it in a VEC (so we use std::vector
instead). But, as shown above, we're violating that requirement.
btrace_insn is currently not trivially copyable, because it contains
an enum_flags field, and that is itself not trivially copyable. This
patch corrects that, by simply removing the user-provided copy
constructor and assignment operator. The compiler-generated versions
work just fine.
Note that std::vector relies on std::is_trivially_copyable too to know
whether it can reallocate its elements with memcpy/memmove instead of
having to call copy/move ctors and dtors, so if we have types in
std::vectors that weren't trivially copyable because of enum_flags,
this will make such vectors more efficient.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-04-25 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/enum-flags.h (enum_flags): Don't implement copy ctor and

This patch fixes an internal error exposed by a test that does
something like:
define kill-and-remove
kill inferiors 2
remove-inferiors 2
end
# Start one inferior.
start
# Start another inferior.
add-inferior 2
inferior 2
start
# Kill and remove inferior 1 while inferior 2 is selected.
thread apply 1.1 kill-and-remove
The internal error looks like this:
Thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2700 (LWP 20677)):
[Switching to inferior 1 [process 20677] (gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/threadapply/threadapply)]

src/gdb/inferior.c:66: internal-error: void set_current_inferior(inferior*): Assertion `inf != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/threadapply.exp: kill_and_remove_inferior: try kill-and-remove: thread apply 1.1 kill-and-remove (GDB internal error)
There are several problems around this area of the code. One is that
in do_restore_current_thread_cleanup, we do a look up of inferior by
ptid, which can find the wrong inferior if the previously selected
inferior exited and some other inferior was started with a reused pid
(rare, but still...).
The other problem is that the "remove-inferiors" command rejects
attempts to remove the current inferior, but when we get to
"remove-inferiors" in a "thread apply THR remove-inferiors 2" command,
the current inferior is the inferior of thread THR, not the previously
selected inferior, so if the previously selected inferior was inferior
2, that command still manages to wipe it, and then gdb restores the
old selected inferior, which is now a dangling pointer...
So the fix here is:
- Make make_cleanup_restore_current_thread store a pointer to the
previously selected inferior directly, and use it directly instead
of doing ptid look ups.
- Add a refcount to inferiors, very similar to thread_info's refcount,
that is incremented/decremented by
make_cleanup_restore_current_thread, and checked before deleting an
inferior. To avoid duplication, a new refcounted_object type is
added, that both thread_info and inferior inherit from.

I left making inferior::detaching a bool to a separate patch, because
doing that makes a make_cleanup_restore_integer call in
infrun.c:prepare_for_detach no longer compile (passing a 'bool *' when
an 'int *' is expected). Since we want to get rid of cleanups anyway,
I looked at converting that to a scoped_restore. However,
prepare_for_detach wants to discard the cleanup on success, and
scoped_restore doesn't have an equivalent for that. So I added one --
I called it "release()" because it seems like a natural fit in the way
standard components call similarly-spirited methods, and, it's also
what the proposal for a generic scope guard calls it too, AFAICS:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n4189.pdf
I've added some scoped_guard unit tests, while at it.

Currently we can't use gdb::optional<T> as function return type,
because gdb::optional's copy ctor is deleted. For example, with:
gdb::optional<int> function ()
{
gdb::optional<int> opt;
....
return opt;
we get:
src/gdb/foo.c: In function ‘gdb::optional<int> foo()’:
src/gdb/foo.c:75:10: error: use of deleted function ‘gdb::optional<T>::optional(const gdb::optional<T>&) [with T = int]’
return opt;
^
In file included from src/gdb/foo.c:68:0:
src/gdb/common/gdb_optional.h:53:3: note: declared here
optional (const optional &other) = delete;
^
I started by fixing that, and then ran into another missing feature,
also fixed by this patch.
The next feature I'm missing most from gdb::optional<T> compared to
std::optional<T> is construction/move/assignment from a T, instead of
having to default construct an gdb::optional and then use
optional::emplace(....).
For example:
gdb::optional<std::string> function ()
{
gdb::optional<std::string> opt;
std::string str;
...
opt.emplace (std::move (str));
return opt;
vs
gdb::optional<std::string> function ()
{
std::string str;
...
return str;
The copy/move ctor/assign methods weren't initialy implemented because
std::optional supports construction from a type U if U is convertible
to T too, and has rules to decide whether the ctors are
explicit/implicit based on that, and rules for whether the ctor should
be trivial or not, etc., which leads to a much more complicated
implementation.
If we stick to supporting copy/move construction/assignment of/to an
optional<T> from exactly only optional<T> and T, then all that
conversion-related complication disappears, and we still gain
convenience in most use cases.
The patch also makes emplace return a reference to the constructor
object, per C++17 std::optional, and adds a reset method, againt
because std::optional has one and it's trivial to support it. These
two changes are a requirement of the gdb::optional unit testing patch
that will follow.

As requested, I'm sending this as a separate patch because it is ready
to be included as-is.
The idea here is that both gdb/terminal.h and gdb/gdbserver/terminal.h
share the same code, which is responsible for setting a bunch of
defines on based on the presence of termios.h and a few other headers.
This simple patch just moves this common code to common/gdb_termios.h
and makes the necessary adjustments on both GDB and gdbserver so that
they can use this new header. It also implements the some header
checks on common/common.m4.
As a bonus, gdb/gdbserver/terminal.h can be removed because it's now
empty.
Built on x86_64, no regressions found.

As a preparation for the next patch, which will move fork_inferior
from GDB to common/ (and therefore share it with gdbserver), it is
interesting to convert a few functions to C++.
This patch touches functions related to parsing command-line arguments
to the inferior (see gdb/fork-child.c:breakup_args), the way the
arguments are stored on fork_inferior (using std::vector instead of
char **), and the code responsible for dealing with argv also on
gdbserver.
I've taken this opportunity and decided to constify a few arguments to
fork_inferior/create_inferior as well, in order to make the code
cleaner. And now, on gdbserver, we're using xstrdup everywhere and
aren't checking for memory allocation failures anymore, as requested
by Pedro:

IMO this refactoring was very good to increase the readability of the
code as well, because some parts of the argument handling were
unnecessarily confusing before.

I grew a bit tired of using ptid_get_{lwp,pid,tid} and friends, so I decided to
make it a bit easier to use by making it a proper class. The fields are now
private, so it's not possible to change a ptid_t field by mistake.
The new methods of ptid_t map to existing functions/practice like this:
ptid_t (pid, lwp, tid) -> ptid_build (pid, lwp, tid)
ptid_t (pid) -> pid_to_ptid (pid)
ptid.is_pid () -> ptid_is_pid (ptid)
ptid == other -> ptid_equal (ptid, other)
ptid != other -> !ptid_equal (ptid, other)
ptid.pid () -> ptid_get_pid (ptid)
ptid.lwp_p () -> ptid_lwp_p (ptid)
ptid.lwp () -> ptid_get_lwp (ptid)
ptid.tid_p () -> ptid_tid_p (ptid)
ptid.tid () -> ptid_get_tid (ptid)
ptid.matches (filter) -> ptid_match (ptid, filter)
I've replaced the implementation of the existing functions with calls to
the new methods. People are encouraged to gradually switch to using the
ptid_t methods instead of the functions (or we can change them all in
one pass eventually).
Also, I'm not sure if it's worth it (because of ptid_t's relatively
small size), but I have made the functions and methods take ptid_t
arguments by const reference instead of by value.

The calls to ptid_equal in ptid_lwp_p and ptid_tid_p that compare the
argument to minus_one_ptid and null_ptid are not necessary. The calls
in question are:
if (ptid_equal (minus_one_ptid, ptid)
|| ptid_equal (null_ptid, ptid))
return 0;
minus_one_ptid is { .pid = -1, .lwp = 0, .tid = 0 }
null_ptid is { .pid = 0, .lwp = 0, .tid = 0 }
If the ptid argument is either of them, the statements
return (ptid_get_lwp (ptid) != 0);
and
return (ptid_get_tid (ptid) != 0);
will yield the same result (0/false).
gdb/ChangeLog:

callback (lh, fe.name, fe.d_index, fe.mod_time, fe.length);
Looking around the web, I see that boost's optional implementation
triggers this kind of issue often too. See:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/libs/optional/doc/html/boost_optional/tutorial/gotchas/false_positive_with__wmaybe_uninitialized.html
I noticed that replacing the gdb::optional uses with real C++17
std::optional uses against GCC 7/trunk makes the warnings go away.
Looking at the implementation, AFAICS, libstdc++ always initializes
its "empty" union payload member (_M_empty, which is defined as an
empty class, like ours). I.e., all payload types have this ctor:
struct _Optional_payload.....
{
constexpr _Optional_payload()
: _M_empty() {}
The constexpr makes a diference too. Without it, GCC7 still warns.
So I'm applying the same treatment to our gdb::optional.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-04-05 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/gdb_optional.h (optional::optional): Make constexpr and
initialize m_dummy.
A while ago, back when GDB was a C program, the sect_offset and
cu_offset types were made structs in order to prevent incorrect mixing
of those offsets. Now that we require C++11, we can make them
integers again, while keeping the safety, by exploiting "enum class".
We can add a bit more safety, even, by defining operators that the
types _should_ support, helping making the suspicious uses stand out
more.
Getting at the underlying type is done with the new to_underlying
function added by the previous patch, which also helps better spot
where do we need to step out of the safety net. Mostly, that's around
parsing the DWARF, and when we print the offset for complaint/debug
purposes. But there are other occasional uses.
Since we have to define the sect_offset/cu_offset types in a header
anyway, I went ahead and generalized/library-fied the idea of "offset"
types, making it trivial to add more such types if we find a use. See
common/offset-type.h and the DEFINE_OFFSET_TYPE macro.
I needed a couple generaly-useful preprocessor bits (e.g., yet another
CONCAT implementation), so I started a new common/preprocessor.h file.
I included units tests covering the "offset" types API. These are
mostly compile-time tests, using SFINAE to check that expressions that
shouldn't compile (e.g., comparing unrelated offset types) really are
invalid and would fail to compile. This same idea appeared in my
pending enum-flags revamp from a few months ago (though this version
is a bit further modernized compared to what I had posted), and I plan
on reusing the "check valid expression" bits added here in that
series, so I went ahead and defined the CHECK_VALID_EXPR macro in its
own header -- common/valid-expr.h. I think that's nicer regardless.
I was borderline between calling the new types "offset" types, or
"index" types, BTW. I stuck with "offset" simply because that's what
we're already calling them, mostly.

This should help catch mistakes related to mixing the 1-based DWARF
indexes with 0-based std::vector indexes, since the new types do not
implicitly convert to anything.
The change in read_formatted_entries relates to the fact that doing
the seemingly simpler:
- uintp = &fe.dir_index;
+ uintp = (unsigned int *) &fe.dir_index;
would be undefined C/C++. So to address that, I made the function
extract the form before assigning to the file_entry. It felt natural
to use gdb::optional for "do I have this value", and this is what
motivated the previous patch that added the missing observer methods
to gdb::optional.

Currently, gdb::optional is really minimal and can only be used for
lazy initialization. There's no way to get at the value contained
inside the optinal. This commit corrects that, by adding observer
methods, mostly copied from libstdc++'s implementation of C++17
std::optional.

This patch introduces a bit of infrastructure -- namely, a minimal
std::optional analogue called gdb::optional, and an RAII template
class that works like make_cleanup_ui_out_tuple_begin_end or
make_cleanup_ui_out_list_begin_end -- and then uses these in the
Python code. This removes a number of cleanups and generally
simplifies this code.
std::optional is only available in C++17. Normally I would have had
this code check __cplusplus, but my gcc apparently isn't new enough to
find <optional>, even with -std=c++1z; so, because I could not test
it, the patch does not do this.

A following patch will want to do
string_file str_file;
scoped_restore save_stdout
= make_scoped_restore (&gdb_stdout, &str_file);
where gdb_stdout is a ui_file *, and string_file is a type that
inherits from ui_file, but that doesn't compile today:

* common/scoped_restore.h
(scoped_restore_tmpl::scoped_restore_tmpl): Template on T2, and
change the value's parameter type to T2.
(make_scoped_restore): Likewise.
This introduces a new class, gdb::unlinker, that unlinks a file in the
destructor. The user of this class has the option to preserve the
file instead, by calling the "keep" method.
This patch then changes the spots in gdb that use unlink in a cleanup
to use this class instead. In one spot I went ahead and removed all
the cleanups from the function.
This fixes one latent bug -- do_bfd_delete_cleanup could refer to
freed memory, by decref'ing the BFD before using its filename.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* record-full.c (record_full_save_cleanups): Remove.
(record_full_save): Use gdb::unlinker.
* gcore.c (do_bfd_delete_cleanup): Remove.
(gcore_command): Use gdb::unlinker, unique_xmalloc_ptr. Remove
cleanups.
* dwarf2read.c (unlink_if_set): Remove.
(write_psymtabs_to_index): Use gdb::unlinker.
* common/gdb_unlinker.h: New file.
This introduces a new specialization of gdb::ref_ptr that can be used
to manage BFD reference counts. Then it changes most places in gdb to
use this new class, rather than explicit reference-counting or
cleanups. This patch removes make_cleanup_bfd_unref.
If you look you will see a couple of spots using "release" where a use
of gdb_bfd_ref_ptr would be cleaner. These will be fixed in the next
patch.
I think this patch fixes some latent bugs. For example, it seems to
me that previously objfpy_add_separate_debug_file leaked a BFD.
I'm not 100% certain that the macho_symfile_read_all_oso change is
correct. The existing code here is hard for me to follow. One goal
of this sort of automated reference counting, though, is to make it
more difficult to make logic errors; so hopefully the code is clear
now.

This adds a new gdb_ref_ptr.h, that implements a reference-counting
smart pointer class, where the user of the class supplies a
reference-counting policy object.
This class will be used in the next patch, which changes most explicit
BFD reference counts to use this new type. Meanwhile, this patch
changes gdbpy_ref to be a specialization of this new class.
This change required adding new nullptr_t overloads some operators in
gdb_ref_ptr.h. I suspect this was needed because some Python header
redefines NULL, but I'm not certain.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* common/gdb_ref_ptr.h: New file.
* python/py-ref.h (struct gdbpy_ref_policy): New.

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.
Both libc++ and libstdc++ declare non-throwing new operators as
noexcept and overloads must also be noexcept. This fixes a
-Wmissing-exception-spec warning with clang.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/new-op.c (operator new): Mark 'noexcept'.
(operator new[]): Likewise.
This patch fixes a few problems with GDB's time handling.
#1 - It avoids problems with gnulib's C++ namespace support
On MinGW, the struct timeval that should be passed to gnulib's
gettimeofday replacement is incompatible with libiberty's
timeval_sub/timeval_add. That's because gnulib also replaces "struct
timeval" with its own definition, while libiberty expects the
system's.
E.g., in code like this:
gettimeofday (&prompt_ended, NULL);
timeval_sub (&prompt_delta, &prompt_ended, &prompt_started);
timeval_add (&prompt_for_continue_wait_time,
&prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_delta);
That's currently handled in gdb by not using gnulib's gettimeofday at
all (see common/gdb_sys_time.h), but that #undef hack won't work with
if/when we enable gnulib's C++ namespace support, because that mode
adds compile time warnings for uses of ::gettimeofday, which are hard
errors with -Werror.
#2 - But there's an elephant in the room: gettimeofday is not monotonic...
We're using it to:
a) check how long functions take, for performance analysis
b) compute when in the future to fire events in the event-loop
c) print debug timestamps
But that's exactly what gettimeofday is NOT meant for. Straight from
the man page:
~~~
The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by
discontinuous jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system
administrator manually changes the system time). If you need a
monotonically increasing clock, see clock_gettime(2).
~~~
std::chrono (part of the C++11 standard library) has a monotonic clock
exactly for such purposes (std::chrono::steady_clock). This commit
switches to use that instead of gettimeofday, fixing all the issues
mentioned above.

Now that we require C++11 and all uses of gdb::unique_ptr and
gdb::move are gone, let's remove their definitions...
With my lazy hat on, I repurposed the header for "generally useful
unique_ptr specializations", and left gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr in
there. Not sure whether we it'd be better move it out of the gdb
namespace or leave it be. I left it because it's less work and avoids
disrupting yet-unmerged patches that use it.

The reason for this is that we override operator new but don't override
operator delete. This patch does the override if the code is NOT
compiled with asan.

This patch replaces many (but not all) uses of
make_cleanup_restore_integer with a simple RAII-based template class.
It also removes the similar restore_execution_direction cleanup in
favor of this new class. Subsequent patches will replace other
similar cleanups with this class.
The class is typically instantiated using make_scoped_restore. This
allows for template argument deduction.

My gnulib fix at:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2015-11/msg00010.html
was merged upstream meanwhile and our gnulib copy now includes it.
As a concidence, Kevin was telling me today that these macros are
causing a build problem on FreeBSD:
common/common-defs.h:47:0: error: "__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS" redefined [-Werror]
#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS 1
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:408:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
(and a similar error for __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS)
The problem seems to be that we should be defining these input macros
before including any system header, but, we're not.
So let's just revert e063da6790 ([C++] Define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
/ __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS for stdint.h). If this causes a problem
somewhere, we can re-define the macros higher up in the file, before
system headers are included.
