This changes SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS to be an rvalue. The symbol readers
generally assign using this, so this also introduces
SET_SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS and updates the readers. Making this change
is useful in a subsequent patch, which redefined SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS.

I noticed that elfread.c always allocates a dbx_symfile_info, even
though this is only ever needed in the unusual case of reading stabs
in ELF.
This patch moves the allocation into dbxread.c, and applies the same
treatment to similar code in coffread.c.

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.
When one steps with "next" past the 'main's 'return' statement
in MinGW programs built by mingw.org's tools, PC lands in a
function whose symbol is not in any symtab. GDB then looks
up the nearest symbol, and should find none, because all those
with addresses below PC are not real functions. Having
unresolved symbols, whose address is zero, in minsyms tricked
GDB into using these bogus symbols, which then caused
assertion violation and internal_error. See the discussion at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-12/msg00176.html
for more details.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-12-28 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* coffread.c (coff_symtab_read): Don't record in minsyms symbols
that are unresolved. This avoids triggering an internal error
when stepping outside of 'main' in MinGW programs.
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 avoids a couple of uninitialized warnings from gcc by

it could be a latent bug. The one in scm-value.c is harmless, but GCC

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

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

PR gdb/18624 concerns an assertion failure that occurs when setting a
breakpoint in a Go program on Windows.
What happens here is that coff_symtab_read uses buildsym but does not
instantiate scoped_free_pendings. So, the struct pending objects are
never released. Later, dwarf2read.c calls buildsym_init, which
asserts.
This patch fixes the problem by instantiating scoped_free_pendings in
coff_symtab_read.
Tested using the test executable from the PR. I don't know how to
test this more fully.

TYPE_TAG_NAME has been an occasional source of confusion and bugs. It
seems to me that it is only useful for C and C++ -- but even there,
not so much, because at least with DWARF there doesn't seem to be any
way to wind up with a type where the name and the tag name are both
non-NULL and different.
So, this patch removes TYPE_TAG_NAME entirely. This should save a
little memory, but more importantly, it simplifies this part of gdb.
A few minor test suite adjustments were needed. In some situations
the new code does not yield identical output to the old code.

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.

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?

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

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 applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This makes these flag types be "enum flag" types. The benefit is
making use of C++'s stronger typing -- mixing the flags types by
mistake errors at compile time.
This caught one old bug in symbol_file_add_main_1 already, fixed by
this patch as well:
@@ -1318,7 +1326,7 @@ symbol_file_add_main_1 (const char *args, int from_tty, int flags)

reinit_frame_cache ();
- if ((flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)
+ if ((add_flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)
set_initial_language ();
}
Above, "flags" are objfile flags, not symfile_add_flags. So that was
actually checking for "flag & OBJF_PSYMTABS_READ", which has the same
value as SYMFILE_NO_READ...
I moved the flags definitions to separate files to break circular
dependencies.
Built with --enable-targets=all and tested on x86-64 Fedora 23.
