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.
This patch initializes the BND registers before executing the inferior
call. BND registers can be in arbitrary values at the moment of the
inferior call. In case the function being called uses as part of the
parameters BND register, e.g. when passing a pointer as parameter, the
current value of the register will be used. This can cause boundary
violations that are not due to a real bug or even desired by the user.
In this sense the best to be done is set the BND registers to allow
access to the whole memory, i.e. initialized state, before pushing the
inferior call.
