This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

In Ada, the programmer can request that a range type with a non-zero
base be stored in the minimal number of bits required for the range.
This is done by biasing the values; so, for example, a range of -7..-4
may be stored as two bits with a bias of -7.
This patch implements this for gdb. It is done by adding a bias to
struct range_bounds and then adjusting a few spots to handle this.
The test case is written to use -fgnat-encodings=minimal, but a future
compiler patch will change the compiler to emit DW_AT_GNU_bias with
-fgnat-encodings=gdb. It seemed good to get the gdb patch in first.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29; plus a variety of targets using AdaCore's
internal test suite.

Sergio pointed out that commit commit aa3b6533 ("Allow nested function
displays") regressed a few gdb.fortran tests. I was able to reproduce
these failures with gcc head.
The bug is that some spots calling contained_in will in fact do the
wrong thing if nested functions are considered as contained. In the
particular case of the Fortran regression, it was the call in
block_innermost_frame, being called from get_hosting_frame -- in this
case, the caller is specifically trying to avoid the nested case.
This patch fixes the problem by adding an "allow_nested" parameter to
contained_in, essentially reverting the change for most callers.

With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

Currently some code in gdb uses build_help with N_(), like:
static const std::string compile_print_help
= gdb::option::build_help (N_("\
I believe this is incorrect. The N_ macro is used to mark text that
should end up in the message catalog, but which will be translated by
a later call to gettext.
However, in this case, there is no later call to gettext, so (if gdb
had translations), this text would remain untranslated.
Instead, I think using the ordinary _() macro is correct here.
Translators will have to know to preserve "%OPTIONS%" in the text --
but that seems both unavoidable and fine.
Tested by rebuilding as there's not much else to do.

When examining addresses associated with blocks with non-contiguous
address ranges, it's not uncommon to see large positive offsets which,
for some address width, actually represent a smaller negative offset.
Here's an example taken from the test case (using the
dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold executable):
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo+4294967277>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo+4294967278>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo+4294967281>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo+4294967286>: nop
0x401117 <foo+4294967287>: pop %rbp
This commit, in conjuction with an earlier patch from this series, causes
cases like the above to be displayed like this (below) instead:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo_cold>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo-18>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo-10>: nop
0x401117 <foo-9>: pop %rbp
Note that the address of foo_cold is now (due to another patch) being
displayed as <foo_cold> instead of <foo+BigOffset>. The subsequent
lines are shown as negative offsets from foo.
Disassembly using the "disassemble" command is somewhat affected by
these changes:
Before:
(gdb) disassemble foo_cold
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
Address range 0x401120 to 0x40113b:

0x0000000000401118 <+-8>: retq
End of assembler dump.
After:
(gdb) disassemble foo_cold
Dump of assembler code for function foo:

0x0000000000401117 <-9>: pop %rbp
0x0000000000401118 <-8>: retq
End of assembler dump.
Note that negative offsets are now displayed without the leading "+".
Also, the callq to foo_cold is now displayed as such instead of a callq
to foo with a large positive offset.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* printcmd.c (print_address_symbolic): Print negative offsets.
(build_address_symbolic): Force signed arithmetic when computing
offset.
build_address_symbolic contains some code which causes it to
prefer the minsym over the the function symbol in certain cases.
The cases where this occurs are the same as the "certain pathological
cases" that used to exist in find_frame_funname().
This commit largely disables that code; it will only prefer the
minsym when the address of minsym is identical to that of the address
under consideration AND the function address for the symbtab sym is
not the same as the address under consideration.
So, without this change, when using the dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold
executable from the gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func.exp test, GDB exhibits
the following behavior:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo+4294967277>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo+4294967278>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo+4294967281>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo+4294967286>: nop
0x401117 <foo+4294967287>: pop %rbp
On the other hand, still without this change, using the
dw2-ranges-func-hi-cold executable from the same test, GDB
does this instead:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x401128 <foo_cold>: push %rbp
0x401129 <foo_cold+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x40112c <foo_cold+4>: callq 0x401134 <baz>
0x401131 <foo_cold+9>: nop
0x401132 <foo_cold+10>: pop %rbp
This is inconsistent behavior. When foo_cold is at a lower
address than the function's entry point, the symtab symbol (foo)
is displayed along with a large positive offset which would wrap
around the address space if the address space were only 32 bits wide.
(A later patch fixes this problem by displaying negative offsets.)
This commit makes the behavior uniform for both the "lo-cold" and
"hi-cold" cases:
lo-cold:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo_cold>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo-18>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo-10>: nop
0x401117 <foo-9>: pop %rbp
hi-cold:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x401128 <foo_cold>: push %rbp
0x401129 <foo+35>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x40112c <foo+38>: callq 0x401134 <baz>
0x401131 <foo+43>: nop
0x401132 <foo+44>: pop %rbp
In both cases, the symbol shown for the address at which foo_cold
resides is shown as <foo_cold>. Subsequent offsets are shown as
either negative or positive offsets from the entry pc for foo.
When disassembling a function, care must be taken to NOT display
<+0> as the offset for the second range. For this reason, I found
it necessary to add the "prefer_sym_over_minsym" parameter to
build_address_symbolic. The type of this flag is a bool; do_demangle
ought to be a bool also, so I made this change at the same time.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* valprint.h (build_address_symbolic): Add "prefer_sym_over_minsym"
parameter. Change type of "do_demangle" to bool.
* disasm.c (gdb_pretty_print_disassembler::pretty_print_insn):
Pass suitable "prefer_sym_over_minsym" flag to
build_address_symbolic(). Don't output "+" for negative offsets.
* printcmd.c (print_address_symbolic): Update invocation of
build_address_symbolic to include a "prefer_sym_over_minsym"
flag.
(build_address_symbolic): Add "prefer_sym_over_minsym" parameter.
Restrict cases in which use of minimal symbol is preferred to that
of a found symbol. Update comments.
Without this patch, GDB printf command calls malloc on the target,
writes the convenience var content to the target,
re-reads the content from the target, and then locally printf the string.
This implies inferior calls, and does not work when there is no running
inferior, or when the inferior is a core dump.
With this patch, printf command can printf string convenience variables
without inferior function calls.
Ada string convenience variables can also be printed.

Set printing of C++ virtual function tables.
Note: because this command accepts arbitrary expressions, if you
specify any command option, you must use a double dash ("--")
to mark the end of option processing. E.g.: "print -o -- myobj".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want to highlight the comment above about "--".
At first, I thought we could make the print command parse the options,
and if the option wasn't recognized, fallback to parsing as an
expression. Then, if the user wanted to disambiguate, he'd use the
"--" option delimiter. For example, if you had a variable called
"object" and you wanted to print its negative, you'd have to do:
(gdb) print -- -object
After getting that working, I saw that gdb.pascal/floats.exp
regressed, in these tests:
gdb_test "print -r" " = -1\\.2(499.*|5|500.*)"
gdb_test "print -(r)" " = -1.2(499.*|5|500.*)"
gdb_test "print -(r + s)" " = -3\\.4(499.*|5|500.*)"
It's the first one that I found most concerning. It regressed because
"-r" is the abbreviation of "-raw". I realized then that the behavior
change was a bit risker than I'd like, considering scripts, wrappers
around gdb, etc., and even user expectation. So instead, I made the
print command _require_ the "--" options delimiter if you want to
specify any option. So:
(gdb) print -r
is parsed as an expression, and
(gdb) print -r --
is parsed as an option.
I noticed that that's also what lldb's expr (the equivalent of print)
does to handle the same problem.
Going back the options themselves, note that:
- you can shorten option names, as long as unambiguous.
- For boolean options, 0/1 stand for off/on.
- For boolean options, "true" is implied.
So these are all equivalent:
(gdb) print -object on -static-members off -pretty on -- foo
(gdb) print -object -static-members off -pretty -- foo
(gdb) print -object -static-members 0 -pretty -- foo
(gdb) print -o -st 0 -p -- foo
TAB completion is fully supported:
(gdb) p -[TAB]
-address -elements -pretty -symbol
-array -null-stop -repeats -union
-array-indexes -object -static-members -vtbl
Note that the code is organized such that some of the options and the
"set/show" commands code is shared. In particular, the "print"
options and the corresponding "set print" commands are defined with
the same structures. The commands are installed with the
gdb::option::add_setshow_cmds_for_options function.

I ran across a comment in symfile.c today:
/* Clear globals which might have pointed into a removed objfile.
FIXME: It's not clear which of these are supposed to persist
between expressions and which ought to be reset each time. */
It seems to me that this can be clarified: the parser entry points
ought to reset the innermost block tracker (and the expression context
block), and these should not be considered valid for code to use at
arbitrary times -- only immediately after an expression has been
parsed.
This patch implements this idea. This could be further improved by
removing the parser globals and changing the parser functions to
return this information, but I have not done this.
Tested by the buildbot.

A customer noticed some mildly odd MI output, where CLI output was
split into multiple MI strings at unusual boundaries, like this:
~"$1 = (b => true"
~", p => 0x407260"
This is technically correct according to the MI spec, but still
unusual, in that there's no particular reason for the string to be
split where it is.
I tracked this down to a call to gdb_flush in generic_val_print.
Then, I went through all calls to gdb_flush and removed the ones I
thought were superfluous. In particular:
* Any call in the value-printing code;
* Likewise the type-printing code (just a single call); and
* Any call that immediately followed a printf that obviously
ended with a newline, my belief being that gdb's standard output
streams are line buffered (by inheriting the behavior from stdio)
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.
I didn't add a new test case. I tend to think we don't necessarily
want to specify this behavior in the tests. Let me know what you
think of this.

This removes the ALL_OBJSECTIONS macro, replacing its uses with ranged

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:

commit 3322c5d9a1 ("Remove unneeded explicit .o targets") broke the

This change/patch substitues BLOCK_ENTRY_PC for BLOCK_START in
places where BLOCK_START is used to obtain the address at which
execution should enter the block. Since blocks can now contain
non-contiguous ranges, the BLOCK_START - which is still be the
very lowest address in the block - might not be the same as
BLOCK_ENTRY_PC.
There is a change to infrun.c which is less obvious and less mechanical.

This changes two out parameters of build_address_symbolic to be
std::string, and updates the callers. This allows removing some
cleanups.
This patch also moves the declaration of build_address_symbolic out of
defs.h. I think that many things in defs.h should be elsewhere
instead. In this case, I moved the declaration to valprint.h, becuase
there is no "printcmd.h" -- but perhaps it would be better to
introduce that instead.

Function lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile iterates on all objfiles and
calls lookup_minimal_symbol for each of them, effectively searching in all
objfiles. lookup_bound_minimal_symbol calls lookup_minimal_symbol with NULL,
which also effectively searches all objfiles. AFAIK, they do exactly the same
thing, so we can get rid of one (and lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile happens
to be the most inefficient because it ends up n^2 on the number of objfiles).
Tested in both aarch64-linux-gnu and amd64-linux-gnu. No regressions.

About the 'x' command, the manual says:
If you use <RET> to repeat the 'x' command, the repeat count N is
used again; the other arguments default as for successive uses of

However, PR gdb/22619 points out that this does not work.
This patch fixes the problem.

* gdb.base/long_long.exp (gdb_test_long_long): Add test for repeat
behavior.
This patch removes some manual reference count manipulation by
changing last_examine_value to be a value_ref_ptr and then updating
the users.

* printcmd.c (last_examine_address): Change type to
value_ref_ptr.
(do_examine, x_command): Update.
struct value is internally reference counted and so, while it also has
some ownership rules unique to it, it makes sense to use a gdb_ref_ptr
when managing it automatically.
This patch removes the existing unique_ptr specialization in favor of
a reference-counted pointer. It also introduces two other
clarifications:
1. Rename value_free to value_decref, which I think is more in line
with what the function actually does; and
2. Change release_value to return a gdb_ref_ptr. This change allows
us to remove the confusing release_value_or_incref function,
primarily by making it much simpler to reason about the result of
release_value.

This is a command we somehow forgot to contribute at the time the Ada
language was first contributed to the FSF. This command allows
the user to change the maximum size we allow when reading memory
from dynamic objects (the default is 65536 bytes).
At the moment, this limit is only used by Ada, and so the implementation
is kept inside ada-lang.c. However, it is conceivable that other language
might want to use it also to handle the same kind of issues; for instance,
this might be useful when handling dynamic types in C. So the name
of the setting was made language-neutral, to allow for this.
Note that an alias for "set var" needs to be introduced as well.
We are not adding a test for that, since this is a feature that is
already exercized by numerous existing tests.

This converts observers from using a special source-generating script
to be plain C++. This version of the patch takes advantage of C++11
by using std::function and variadic templates; incorporates Pedro's
patches; and renames the header file to "observable.h" (this change
eliminates the need for a clean rebuild).
Note that Pedro's patches used a template lambda in tui-hooks.c, but
this failed to compile on some buildbot instances (presumably due to
differing C++ versions); I replaced this with an ordinary template
function.
Regression tested on the buildbot.

This changes the printf command's %s and %ls formats to special-case
NULL, and print "(null)" for these. This is PR cli/14977. This
behavior seems a bit friendlier; I was undecided on whether other
invalid pointers should be handled specially somehow, so for the time
being I've left those out.

We currently maintain a global innermost_block which tracks the most
inner block encountered when parsing an expression.
This commit wraps the innermost_block into a new class, and switches all

This replaces parse_format_string with a class, removing some
constructors along the way. While doing this, I found that one
argument to gen_printf is unused, so I removed it.
Also, I am not completely sure, but the use of `release' in
maint_agent_printf_command and parse_cmd_to_aexpr seems like it may
leak expressions.

* ax.c (ax_printf): Update.
The "x", "list", and "show commands" commands have special repetition
behavior: repeating the command doesn't re-run it with the same
arguments
This is currently implemented by modifying the passed-in argument; but
that won't work properly with const arguments (and seems pretty
obscure besides).
This patch adds a new "set_repeat_arguments" function and changes the
relevant places to call it.
