It was observed that in a multi-threaded application on GNU/Linux,
that if the user has set the SIGSTOP to be pass (using GDB's handle
command) then the inferior would hang upon hitting a breakpoint.
What happens is that when a thread hits the breakpoint GDB tries to
stop all of the other threads by sending them a SIGSTOP and setting
the stop_requested flag in the target_ops structure - this can be seen
in infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
GDB then waits for all of the other threads to stop.
When the SIGSTOP event arrives we eventually end up in
linux-nat.c:linux_nat_filter_event, which has the job of deciding if
the event we're looking at (the SIGSTOP arriving in this case) is
something that should be reported back to the core of GDB.
One of the final actions of this function is to check if we stopped
due to a signal, and if we did, and the signal has been set to 'pass'
by the user then we ignore the event and resume the thread.
This code already has some conditions in place that mean the event is
reported to GDB even if the signal is in the set of signals to be
passed to the inferior.
In this commit I extend this condition such that:
If the signal is a SIGSTOP, and the thread's stop_requested flag is
set (indicating we're waiting for the thread to stop with a SIGSTOP)
then we should report this SIGSTOP to GDB and not pass it to the
inferior.
With this change in place the test now passes. Regression tested on
x86-64 GNU/Linux with no regressions.

The gdb.base/info-types.exp test-case FAILs with gcc/g++ 4.8 because the DWARF
record for the 'unsigned int' type is missing in the executables, while it is
present for gcc/g++ 7.4.1.
For a minimal example using gcc 7.4.1:
...
$ echo "enum enum_t { AA, BB, CC }; enum enum_t var;" > enum.c
$ gcc enum.c -c -g
...
we find that the enum type has DW_AT_encoding 'unsigned':
<1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<1e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
<22> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<23> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<24> DW_AT_type : <0x3e>
<28> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<29> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<2a> DW_AT_sibling : <0x3e>
...
and a DW_AT_type reference to the type 'unsigned int':
...
<1><3e>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<3f> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<40> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<41> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x26): unsigned int
...
With gcc 4.8.5 however, we have no 'unsigned' encoding, and no DW_AT_type:
...
<1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<1e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
<22> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<23> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<24> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<25> DW_AT_sibling : <0x39>
...
as well as no record for 'unsigned int'.
Make the test-case pass with gcc/g++ 4.8 by making the presence of the
'unsigned int' type optional.

GDB's py-format-string test case depends on endianness. In particular it
relies on the first byte of the machine representation of 42 (as an int)
to be 42 as well. While this is indeed the case for little-endian
machines, big-endian machines store a zero in the first byte instead. The
wrong assumption leads to lots of FAILs on such architectures.
Fix this by filling the affected union with bytes of the same value, such
that endianness does not matter. Use the value 42, to keep the character
in the first byte unchanged.

This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the
Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception
currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more
fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the
existing "catch" syntax.
This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint
must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper
functions.

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

This introduces a few gdb-specific %p format suffixes. This is useful
for emitting gdb-specific output in an ergonomic way. It also yields
code that is more i18n-friendly.
The comment before ui_out::message explains the details.
Note that the tests had to change a little. When using one of the gdb
printf functions with styling, there can be spurious style changes
emitted to the output. This did not seem worthwhile to fix, as the
low-level output functions are rather spaghetti-ish already, and I
didn't want to make them even worse.
This change also necessitated adding support for "*" as precision and
width in format_pieces. These are used in various spots in gdb, and
it seemed better to me to implement them than to remove the uses.

The pretty-print test case fails on s390/s390x because it relies on a
little-endian representation of bit fields. Little-endian architectures
typically allocate bit fields from least to most significant bit, but
big-endian architectures typically use the reverse order, allocating the
most significant bit first. Thus the two bit fields in each of the test
case's unions overlap either in their lower or in their higher bits,
depending on the target's endianness:
union {
int three : 3;
int four : 4;
};
Now, when initializing 'three' with 3, 'four' will become 3 on little
endian targets, but 6 on big-endian targets, making it FAIL there.
Fix this by initializing the longer bit field instead and using an
all-ones bit pattern. In this way the result does not depend on
endianness. Use 'unsigned' instead of int for one of the bit fields in
each of the unions, to increase the variety of resulting values.

With rustc 1.37, I started seeing compiler warnings from the traits.rs
test case:
warning: trait objects without an explicit `dyn` are deprecated
It seems to me that we generally do not want warnings in these test
cases. At some point, we'll probably have to patch traits.rs to use
the "dyn" keyword; by that time I expect that all the Rust compilers
in common use will support it. In the meantime it seemed simplest to
simply disable all warnings in this file.

These stub types can currently be exposed to Python code, where they

On my openSUSE Leap 15.1 x86_64 Skylake system with the default (4.12) kernel,
I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/gcore.exp: corefile restored all registers
...
The problem is that there's a difference in the mxcsr register value before
and after the gcore command:
...
- mxcsr 0x0 [ ]
+ mxcsr 0x400440 [ DAZ OM ]
...
This can be traced back to amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers, where
xstateregs is partially initialized by the ptrace call:
...
char xstateregs[X86_XSTATE_MAX_SIZE];
struct iovec iov;
amd64_collect_xsave (regcache, -1, xstateregs, 0);
iov.iov_base = xstateregs;
iov.iov_len = sizeof (xstateregs);
if (ptrace (PTRACE_GETREGSET, tid,
(unsigned int) NT_X86_XSTATE, (long) &iov) < 0)
perror_with_name (_("Couldn't get extended state status"));
amd64_supply_xsave (regcache, -1, xstateregs);
...
after which amd64_supply_xsave is called.
The amd64_supply_xsave call is supposed to only use initialized parts of
xstateregs, but due to a kernel bug on intel skylake (fixed from 4.14 onwards
by commit 0852b374173b "x86/fpu: Add FPU state copying quirk to handle XRSTOR
failure on Intel Skylake CPUs") it can happen that the mxcsr part of
xstateregs is not initialized, while amd64_supply_xsave expects it to be
initialized, which explains the FAIL mentioned above.
Fix the undetermined behaviour by initializing xstateregs before calling
ptrace, which makes sure we get a 0x0 for mxcsr when this kernel bug occurs,
and which also happens to fix the FAIL.
Furthermore, add an xfail for this FAIL which triggers the same kernel bug:
...
FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-init-x87-values.exp: check_setting_mxcsr_before_enable: \
check new value of MXCSR is still in place

Both FAILs pass when using a 5.3 kernel instead on the system mentioned above.

The problem is that we try to access the value of l1 in function caller5, but
variable l1 has no DW_AT_location attribute. Since l1 is declared using the
register keyword, it's valid for gcc to emit no DW_AT_location at -O0.
Change the FAIL into an UNSUPPORTED.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-09-22 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* gdb.base/restore.exp: Allow register variables to be optimized out at
-O0.
If gdb_test is used with fewer than five arguments, then the question_string
defaults to "^FOOBAR$":
...
if [llength $args]==5 {
set question_string [lindex $args 3]
set response_string [lindex $args 4]
} else {
set question_string "^FOOBAR$"
}
...
This can however match "FOOBAR", so perhaps "\$FOOBAR^" would have been a
better choice.
Eliminate the FOOBAR pattern from gdb_test by instead of defining a default
regexp, conditionally appending the regexp matching to a user_code variable.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-09-19 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test): Eliminate "^FOOBAR$" pattern.
In commit 81dc3ab594 "[gdb/testsuite] Handle unreachable network in
server-connect.exp" a regression was introduced in gdb_target_cmd, causing
ERRORs like this:
...
ERROR: tcl error sourcing src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/abspath.exp.
ERROR: wrong # args: should be "gdb_target_cmd {$args}"
while executing
"gdb_target_cmd $gdbserver_protocol $gdbserver_gdbport"
...
Fix the argument passing in gdb_target_cmd.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-09-19 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdb_target_cmd): Fix argument passing.
When running gdb.server/server-connect.exp I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.server/server-connect.exp: tcp6: connect to gdbserver using tcp6:::1
FAIL: gdb.server/server-connect.exp: tcp6-with-brackets: connect to gdbserver \
using tcp6:[::1]
FAIL: gdb.server/server-connect.exp: udp6: connect to gdbserver using udp6:::1
FAIL: gdb.server/server-connect.exp: udp6-with-brackets: connect to gdbserver \
using udp6:[::1]
...
The FAIL is caused by the fact that the ipv6 loopback address is not available:
...
PASS: gdb.server/server-connect.exp: tcp6: start gdbserver
target remote tcp6:::1:2347^M
A program is being debugged already. Kill it? (y or n) y^M
tcp6:::1:2347: Network is unreachable.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/server-connect.exp: tcp6: connect to gdbserver using tcp6:::1
...
This should be marked UNSUPPORTED rather than FAIL.
Furthermore, the test-case takes about 4 minutes, because the 'Network is
unreachable' response is not explicitly handled in gdb_target_cmd, so instead
it runs into the timeout case.
Fix this by handling the 'Network is unreachable' response as UNSUPPORTED.
This reduces testing time from 4 minutes to about 2 seconds.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-09-19 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdb_target_cmd_ext): Return 2 (meaning
UNSUPPORTED) for 'Network is unreachable' message. Factor out of ...
(gdb_target_cmd): ... here.
* gdb.server/server-connect.exp: Use gdb_target_cmd_ext, handle return
value 2.
Give a test an actual name in order to avoid having a directory name
in the .sum file.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/source-dir.exp: Avoid having directory names in test
names.
The 'directory' command allows the user to provide a list of filesystem
directories in which to search for source code. The directories in this
search path are used as the base directory for the source filename from
the debug information (DW_AT_name). Thus the directory search path
provides alternatives to the existing compilation directory from the
debug information (DW_AT_comp_dir). Generally speaking, DW_AT_name
stores the filename argument passed to the compiler (including any
directory components), and DW_AT_comp_dir stores the current working
directory from which the compiler was executed. For example:
$ cd /path/to/project/subdir1
$ gcc -c a/test.c -g
The corresponding debug information will look like this:
DW_AT_name : a/test.c
DW_AT_comp_dir : /path/to/project/subdir1
When compiling with the -fdebug-prefix-map GCC option, the compilation
directory can be arbitrarily rewritten. In the above example, we may
rewrite the compilation directory as follows:
$ gcc -c a/test.c -g -fdebug-prefix-map=/path/to/project=
In this case, the corresponding debug information will look like:
DW_AT_name : a/test.c
DW_AT_comp_dir : /subdir1
This prevents GDB from finding the corresponding source code based on
the debug information alone. In some cases, a substitute-path command
can be used to re-map a consistent prefix in the rewritten compilation
directory to the real filesystem path. However, there may not be a
consistent prefix remaining in the debug symbols (for example in a
project that has source code in many subdirectories under the project's
root), thereby requiring multiple substitute-path rules. In this case,
it is easier to add the missing prefix to the directory search path via
the 'directory' command.
The function find_and_open_source currently searches in:
SEARCH_PATH/FILENAME
where SEARCH_PATH corresponds to each individual entry in the directory
search path (which is guaranteed to contain the compilation directory
from the debug information, as well as the current working directory).
FILENAME corresponds to the source filename (DW_AT_name), which may have
directory components in it. In addition, GDB searches in:
SEARCH_PATH/FILE_BASENAME
where FILE_BASENAME is the basename of the DW_AT_name entry.
This change modifies find_and_open_source to additionally search in:
SEARCH_PATH/COMP_DIR/FILENAME
where COMP_DIR is the compilation directory from the debug symbols. In
the example given earlier, running:
(gdb) directory /path/to/project
will now allow GDB to correctly locate the source code from the debug
information.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* source.c (prepare_path_for_appending): New function.
(openp): Make use of new function.
(find_and_open_source): Search for the compilation directory and
source file as a relative path beneath the directory search path.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Source Path): Additional text to better describe
how the source path directory list is used when searching for
source files.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/source-dir.exp: Add extra test for mapped compilation
directory.
The source_cache::get_line_charpos function can currently throw an
exception if the source file is missing, which doesn't match the
expected behaviour documented in the functions header file. The
documented behaviour is to return false on failure, and this is how
the function appears to be used throughout GDB.
I spotted this in the 'info source' command, currently for a missing
source file you'll see something like this:
(gdb) info source
Current source file is /path/to/src/file.c
Compilation directory is /path/to/build/
/path/to/src/file.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb)
After this patch we see this:
(gdb) info source
Current source file is /path/to/src/file.c
Compilation directory is /path/to/build/
Source language is c.
Producer is COMPILER VERSION AND FLAGS.
Compiled with DWARF 2 debugging format.
Does not include preprocessor macro info.
We don't currently indicate that the source file can't be found, and
maybe that would be something worth adding in the future.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* source-cache.c (source_cache::get_line_charpos): Catch
exceptions and return false, this matches the behaviour documented
in the header file.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/list-missing-source.exp: New file.
When running gdb.ada/rename_subscript_param.exp with gnatmake 7.4.1, we get:
...
FAIL: gdb.ada/rename_subscript_param.exp: print rename_subscript_param_b \
before changing its value
FAIL: gdb.ada/rename_subscript_param.exp: print rename_subscript_param_b \
after changing its value
...
The commit last touching the test-case (afcfda091e) states:
...
The test still fails with old compilers that do not properly
generate debug info for this renaming:
...
Fix this by requiring at least gnatmake 8 for the test-case.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

(gdb)
We lost the section index numbers, but more importantly, we lost the
information about the .debug* sections. We also gained entries for
the "fake" sections *COM*, *UND*, *ABS*, and *IND*.
I noticed this when running:
make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=cc-with-gdb-index gdb.base/maint.exp"
As this test relies on looking in the 'maint info sections' output to
see if we have a .debug_names or .gdb_index section, and these are
debug sections so they no longer show up in the 'main info sections'
output, the gdb.base/maint.exp test fails.
This commit restores the old behaviour while keeping the important
change that the above commit introduced, the addresses printed for
sections are the relocated addresses where appropriate. The above
commit mentions using this test:
make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS="CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET='-pie' gdb.base/compare-sections.exp"
And this still passes after this commit.
The output for 'maint info sections' now looks like this:

This is basically as it was before, except that the index numbers are
now padded so the section information all lines up.
When GDB has relocated a section then the relocated addresses will be
printed, otherwise the non-relocated addresses from the bfd will be
printed.
I've added a test to gdb.base/maint.exp to do some basic validation of
the output format.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* maint.c: Add 'cmath' include.
(struct maint_print_section_data): New structure.
(print_section_index): New function.
(print_bfd_section_info): Add header comment, small whitespace
cleanup, and update to call new print_section_index function.
(print_objfile_section_info): Likewise.
(maint_obj_section_from_bfd_section): New function.
(print_bfd_section_info_maybe_relocated): New function.
(maintenance_info_sections): Add header comment, always use
bfd_map_over_sections instead of ALL_OBJFILE_OSECTIONS.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

110, but it already fails to read the value, because l has no DW_AT_location
attribute in the debug info.
Variable l is declared with the register keyword, and GCC implements the
register keyword at -O0 like so:
...
the compiler allocates distinct stack memory for all variables that do not
have the register storage-class specifier; if register is specified, the
variable may have a shorter lifespan than the code would indicate and may
never be placed in memory.
...
The fact that l has no DW_AT_location attribute, matches with the documented
"variable may have a shorter lifespan that code would indicate", (though it
is the most extreme case of it) so the gcc behaviour is valid. We can of
course improve gcc to generate better debuginfo (filed gcc PR91611), but
this not a wrong-debug problem.
[ The test-case passes with gcc 4.2.1, but for the failing test discussed
above, it passes simply because it doesn't store l in a register. ]
With the debug info missing for l, reading and setting l is unsupported, so
fix the FAIL by marking the test UNSUPPORTED instead.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-09-12 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* gdb.base/store.exp: Allow register variables to be optimized out at
-O0.
With this patch, we e.g. get:
[Switching to task 2 "task_list(1)"]
[Current task is 2 "task_list(1)"]
instead of
[Switching to task 2]
[Current task is 2]
The logic to produce the taskno optionally followed
by the task name has been factorized in the task_to_str function.
Task names are output between double quotes in the new messages,
similarly to what GDB does for thread names.
However, no quotes are put around task names in 'info tasks' Name column.
This was discussed with Tom, that preferred no quotes there, while I
was more in favour of visual consistency.
I discussed with a few more users, which led to (exactly) 50% preferring
quotes and 50% preferring no quotes :).
To arrive to the decision to remove the quotes, the following "killing args"
were used:
* To have quotes or to not have quotes, that is the question; yes
but not *THE* question :).
* If there is not a clear majority that prefers quotes, better to
not disturb the existing user basis for a (somewhat) irrelevant
aspect.
* The opinion of the reviewer has more weight.
So, compared to the previous version, this version remotes the quotes
in 'info tasks'.
It improves the alignement of 'info tasks' output.
With this patch, we get:
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
instead of
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
(e.g. the first one properly shows parent and priority under the
correct header).
This is version 4 of the 'task name' patch.
Compared to version 3, the changes are:
output task names between quotes but not in 'info tasks'

An internal Ada test case showed that the .debug_names code does not
compute the same list of file names as the partial symbol reader. In
particular, the partial symbol reader uses the DW_AT_name of the CU:
/* Allocate a new partial symbol table structure. */
filename = dwarf2_string_attr (comp_unit_die, DW_AT_name, cu);
if (filename == NULL)
filename = "";
pst = create_partial_symtab (per_cu, filename);

In gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp, the "save breakpoint" command is used to write
the current breakpoints to a file, but the actual output is not verified.
Consequently, the test has regressed in that the "print 1" command associated
with a breakpoint on main is removed by a subsequent runto_main, which first
deletes all breakpoints:
...
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004d7: file start.c, line 34.
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
> PASS: gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp: commands
print 1
> PASS: gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp: print 1
end
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp: end
delete breakpoints
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y
...
and consequently the "save breakpoint" output is missing the breakpoint
command for main:
...
break main
- commands
- print 1
- end
break foo
break bar
...
Fix this by replacing "gdb_breakpoint main" with runto_main, and verifying the
"save breakpoints" output.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Once the executable is started, info variables can show thousands
of variables belonging to glibc (see below).
This long list of variables then causes the test to fail, due

* gdb.base/info-var.exp: Test info variables without running
to main, to avoid expect's buffer overflow.
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.

This testcase was originally for PR gdb/15415, a problem with the

* gdb.base/info-var.exp: Allow info variables to print info for files
other than info-var-f1.c and info-var-f2.c.
Currently the 'info types' command will return symbols that correspond
to Fortran modules. This is because the symbols are created with
domain MODULE_DOMAIN and address_class LOC_TYPEDEF. The address_class
LOC_TYPEDEF is the same address_class used for type symbols which is
why the modules show up when listing types.
This commit explicitly prevents symbols in the MODULE_DOMAIN from
appearing when we search for symbols in the TYPES_DOMAIN, this
prevents the Fortran module symbols from appearing in the output of
'info types'.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* symtab.c (search_symbols): Don't include MODULE_DOMAIN symbols
when searching for types.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.fortran/info-types.exp: Add module.
* gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: Update expected results.
Implement an la_print_typedef method for Fortran, this allows 'info
types' to work for Fortran. The implementation is just copied from
ada_print_typedef (with the appropriate changes).
To support the testing of this patch I added a new proc,
fortran_character1, to lib/fortran.exp which returns a regexp to match
a 1-byte character type. The regexp returned is correct for current
versions of gFortran. All of the other regexp are guesses based on
all of the other support procs in lib/fortran.exp, I haven't tested
them myself.

When using catch catch/rethrow/catch, a libstdcxx with SDT probes is required
for both the regexp argument, and the convenience variable $_exception (
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Set-Catchpoints.html ).
Currently, when using these features with a libstdcxx without SDT probes, we
get the cryptic error message:
...
not stopped at a C++ exception catchpoint
...
Improve this by instead emitting the more helpful:
...
did not find exception probe (does libstdcxx have SDT probes?)

The way unrecognized escape sequences are handled has changed in
Python 3.8: users now see a SyntaxWarning message, which will
eventually become a SyntaxError in future versions of Python:
(gdb) source /blabla/gdb.python/py-xmethods/py-xmethods.py
/blabla/gdb.python/py-xmethods/py-xmethods.py:204: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape seque
nce \+
'operator\+',
/blabla/gdb.python/py-xmethods/py-xmethods.py:211: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape seque
nce \+
'operator\+\+',
One of our testcases, gdb.python/py-xmethods.exp, contains strings in
the form of "operator\+". This is not recognized by Python, but is
still needed by the testsuite to work properly. The solution is
simple: we just have to make sure these strings are marked as
raw (i.e, r""). This is what this patch does. I took the opportunity
to also convert other strings to raw, which, in two cases, allowed the
removal of an extra backslash.
I tested this using Python 3.7 and Python 3.8, and everything works
fine.
I think I could push this as obvious, but decided to send it to
gdb-patches just in case.
