This is a followup patch to the build breakage fix on AArch64. While
doing the fix, I found it better to convert tdesc->reg_defs (on
gdbserver/tdesc.h) from using VEC to using std::vector. This makes
the code easier to read and maintain, and also is one more step
towards the C++fication.
Regtested on BuildBot.

As explained in the previous patch, the gdb_id concept is no longer
relevant. The function thread_to_gdb_id is trivial, it returns the

From what I understand, this function is not doing anything useful as of
today.
Here's the result of my archeological research:
- The field thread_info::gdb_id was added in
a06660f7 Use LWP IDs for thread IDs in gdbserver
There was problem when using a 32-bits gdb with a 64-bits gdbserver.
For some reason that I don't fully understand, the thread ids
exchanged between gdb and gdbserver could overflow a 32 bits data
type. My guess is that they were the thread address (e.g. the
0x7ffff7f20b40 in "Thread 0x7ffff7f20b40 (LWP 1058)" today). This
patch changed that so gdb/gdbserver would talk in terms of the OS
assigned numerical id (as shown in ps). It therefore added a way to
convert between this gdb_id (the numerical id) and the thread id (the
address).
- 95954743cb Implement the multiprocess extensions, and add linux
multiprocess supportNon-stop mode support.
This patch made gdbserver deal with threads using their numerical ids
and not the address-like id. Starting from there, the gdb_id <->
thread id conversion was not needed anymore, since the remote protocol
and gdbserver were using the same kind of ids again. The gdb_id field
in the thread_info structure was also unused starting there.
- d50171e4 Teach linux gdbserver to step-over-breakpoints.
This patch moved the thread_info structure around, and got rid of the
gdb_id field (which was unused).
Looking at the implementation of gdb_id_to_thread_id, it is not doing
anything useful. It is looking up a thread by ptid using
find_thread_ptid, which basically loops over all threads looking at
their entry.id field. If a thread with that ptid is found, it returns
its entry.id field. So it will always return the same thing as it input
(with the exception of if no thread exist with that ptid, then it will
return null_ptid).

We used to silently truncate the size returned by stat() to 32 bits.
While it is possible to make binutils handle a 64-bit off_t on a
32-bit host, to me the effort needed doesn't seem worth the benefit.
Instead, error if we truncate the size. I've written the test the way
I have to avoid a signed/unsigned warning.

Replace the manually managed array with a vector. It is mostly
straightforward, except maybe one thing in execute_stack_op, in the
handling of DW_OP_fbreg. When the code stumbles on that opcode while
evaluating an expression, it needs to evaluate a subexpression to find
where the fb reg has been saved. Rather than creating a new context, it
reuses the current context. It saves the size of the stack before and
restores the stack to that size after.
I think we can do a little bit better by saving the current stack
locally and installing a new empty stack. This way, if the
subexpression is malformed and underflows, we'll get an exception.
Before, it would have overwritten the top elements of the top-level
expression. The evaluation of the top-level expression would have then
resumed with the same stack size, but possibly some corrupted elements.

The problem is simply that GDB is finding a symbol named "mult" from

This patch replaces the usage of VEC to store pointers to probe_ops with

Change collect_probes so it returns an std::vector<bound_probe> instead
of a VEC(bound_probe_s). This allows removing some cleanups. It also
seems like enable_probes_command and disable_probes_command were not
freeing that vector.
The comparison function compare_probes needs to be updated to return a
bool indicating whether the first parameter is "less than" the second
parameter.
I defined two constructors to bound_probe. The default constructor is
needed, for example, so the instance in struct bp_location can be
constructed without parameters. The constructor with parameters is
useful so we can use emplace_back and pass the values directly.
The s390 builder on the buildbot shows a weird failure that I can't
explain:

This patch changes one usage of VEC to std::vector. It is a relatively

This renames a few functions -- skip_spaces_const,

the "_const" suffix and instead rely on overloading.
This makes future const fixes simpler by reducing the number of lines
that must be changed. I think it is also not any less clear, as all
these functions have the same interface as their non-const versions by
design. Furthermore there's an example of using an overload in-tree
already, namely check_for_argument.
This patch was largely created using some perl one-liners; then a few

The first patch in this series went through several iterations as I'd
forgotten how many places had to be touched to add a new event and a
new event type.
This patch simplifies the process using two new ".def" files. Now, a
new event type can be added by adding a line to "py-event-types.def",
and a new event registry can be added by adding a line to
"py-all-events.def".

It seems cleaner to me for functions like create_thread_event_object,
which pass object ownership to their callers, to directly return a
gdb_ref<>. This way the ownership transfer is part of the API. This
patch makes this change.

This adds a few new events to gdb's Python layer: new_inferior,
inferior_deleted, and new_thread. I wanted to be able to add a
combined inferior/thread display window to my GUI, and I needed a few
events to make this work. This is PR python/15622.

The last commit unfortunately was not enough to fix the build breakage
on AArch64. I made a mistake and did not test it alone on BuildBot,
but along with another patch that was responsible for fixing the
breakage.
The failure is:

__warn_memset_zero_len ();
This is likely due to a GCC bug, because for some reason the compiler
assumes that the third argument to the memset:
memset (regcache->register_status, REG_UNAVAILABLE,
VEC_length (tdesc_reg_p, regcache->tdesc->reg_defs));
is always zero, which is not always true.
Anyway, the simple fix for this is to guard the memset calls with:
if (!VEC_empty (tdesc_reg_p, regcache->tdesc->reg_defs))
This time, I made sure to regtest only this patch on BuildBot, and it
finally solved the breakage.
