Last year a patch was submitted/approved/commited to eliminate
symbol_matches_domain which was causing this problem. It was later reverted
because it introduced a (severe) performance regression.
Recap:
(gdb) list
1 enum e {A,B,C} e;
2 int main (void) { return 0; }
3
(gdb) p e
Attempt to use a type name as an expression
The parser attempts to find a symbol named "e" of VAR_DOMAIN.
This gets passed down through lookup_symbol and (eventually) into
block_lookup_symbol_primary, which iterates over the block's dictionary
of symbols:
for (sym = dict_iter_name_first (block->dict, name, &dict_iter);
sym != NULL;
sym = dict_iter_name_next (name, &dict_iter))
{
if (symbol_matches_domain (SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym),
SYMBOL_DOMAIN (sym), domain))
return sym;
}
The problem here is that we have a symbol named "e" in both STRUCT_DOMAIN
and VAR_DOMAIN, and for languages like C++, Java, and Ada, where a tag name
may be used as an implicit typedef of the type, symbol_matches_domain ignores
the difference between VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN. As it happens, the
STRUCT_DOMAIN symbol is found first, considered a match, and that symbol is
returned to the parser, eliciting the (now dreaded) error message.
Since this bug exists specifically because we have both STRUCT and VAR_DOMAIN
symbols in a given block/CU, this patch rather simply/naively changes
block_lookup_symbol_primary so that it continues to search for an exact
domain match on the symbol if symbol_matches_domain returns a symbol
which does not exactly match the requested domain.
This "fixes" the immediate problem, but admittedly might uncover other,
related bugs. [Paranoia?] However, it causes no regressions (functional
or performance) in the test suite. A similar change has been made
to block_lookup_symbol for other cases in which this bug might appear.
The tests from the previous submission have been resurrected and updated.
However since we can still be given a matching symbol with a different domain
than requested, we cannot say that a symbol "was not found." The error
messages today will still be the (dreaded) "Attempt to use a type name..."

This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which
controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default).
The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of
basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These
common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when
the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the
history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient.
The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to
look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one.
"history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option,
and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's
erasedups option.
[ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum
because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than
leave/erase/ignore. ]

The implementation is pretty straightforward, with the only caveat being
that the "src", "cmd", "next" and "prev" entries get delibrately added
to the completion list even when the TUI has not yet been initialized

"focus" command with these arguments already works when the TUI has not
yet been initialized.

GDB tries to skip prologue for .S files according to .debug_line but it then
places the breakpoint to a location where it is never hit.
This is because #defines in .S files cause prologue skipping which is
completely inappropriate, for s390x:

The default gdb sysroot now sets itself to "target:". This works for

so that the sysroot isn't passed in as an invalid value.

The test
test_histsize_history_setting "99999999999999999999999999999999999" "unlimited"
was failing on i686 because the condition in init_history() for
determining whether to map a large GDBHISTSIZE value to infinity was
long var = strtol (tmpenv);
if (var > INT_MAX)
history_size = unlimited;
but this condition is never true on i686 because INT_MAX == LONG_MAX.
So in order to properly map large out-of-range values of GDBHISTSIZE to
infinity on targets where LONG_MAX > INT_MAX as well as on i686, we have
to instead change the above condition to
if (var > INT_MAX
|| (var == INT_MAX && errno == ERANGE))
history_size = unlimited;

have_ptrace_getregset is a tri-state variable (-1, 0, 1), and we have
some conditions like "if (have_ptrace_getregset)", which is not correct.
I'll explain why it is not correct in the following example. This fix
to this problem to replace the test (have_ptrace_getregset) to test
(have_ptrace_getregset == 1) or (have_ptrace_getregset == -1) etc.
However Doug thinks it hinders readability
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00692.html so I decide
to add a new enum tribool and change have_ptrace_getregset to it, in
order to make these tests more readable.
have_ptrace_getregset is initialised to -1, and is adjusted to 0 or 1 in
$ARCH_linux_read_description according to the capability of the kernel.
However, it is possible that have_ptrace_getregset is used before it is
set to 0 or 1, which means it is still -1. This is shown below.

When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment

history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent
with the behavior of bash.
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.

The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by
shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export
HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects
shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for
setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when
HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g.
PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it
may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at
once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment
variables with application environment variables.

We still do not handle "set history size unlimited" correctly. In
particular, after writing to the history file, we truncate the history
even if it is unlimited.
This patch makes sure that we do not call history_truncate_file() if the
history is not stifled (i.e. if it's unlimited). This bug causes the
history file to be truncated to zero on exit when one has "set history
size unlimited" in their gdbinit file. Although this code exists in GDB

So far the gnu_vector test was limited to "static" aspects of GDB's
vector support, like evaluating vector-valued expressions. This patch
enriches the test and adds checks for GDB's vector ABI support as well.
The new checks particularly verify inferior function calls with vector
arguments and GDB's handling of vector return values.
The test now attempts to compile for the target's "native" architecture,
such that a hardware vector ABI is used if available.
Since GDB has no vector ABI support for x86 and x86_64 targets, most of
the new checks are KFAILed there.

* gdb.base/gnu_vector.c: Include stdarg.h and stdio.h.
(VECTOR): New macro. Use it...
(int4, uint4, char4, float4, int2, longlong2, float2, double2):
...for these typedefs.
(int8, char1, int1, double1): New typedefs.
(struct just_int2, struct two_int2): New structures.
(add_some_intvecs, add_many_charvecs, add_various_floatvecs)
(add_structvecs, add_singlevecs): New functions.
(main): Call add_some_intvecs twice.
* gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: Drop GCC version check; just attempt
the compile and exit upon failure. Try compiling for the "native"
architecture. Test inferior function calls with vector arguments
and vector return value handling with "finish" and "return".
In some cases tui_show_frame_info() may get called while the inferior's
terminal settings are still in effect. But when we call this function
we absolutely need to have our terminal settings in effect because the
function is responsible for redrawing TUI's windows following a change
in the selected frame or a change in the PC. If our terminal settings
are not in effect, the screen does not get redrawn properly, causing
temporary display artifacts (which can be fixed via ^L).
This scenario happens most prominently when stepping through a program
in TUI while a watchpoint is in effect.
Here is an example backtrace for when tui_show_frame_info() gets called
while target_terminal_is_inferior() == 1:
#1 0x00000000004988ee in tui_selected_frame_level_changed_hook (level=0)
#2 0x0000000000617b99 in select_frame (fi=0x18c9820)
#3 0x0000000000617c3f in get_selected_frame (message=message@entry=0x0)
#4 0x00000000004ce534 in update_watchpoint (b=b@entry=0x2d9a760,
reparse=reparse@entry=0)
#5 0x00000000004d625e in insert_breakpoints ()
#6 0x0000000000531cfe in keep_going (ecs=ecs@entry=0x7ffea7884ac0)

#8 0x000000000053596e in handle_inferior_event_1 (ecs=0x7ffea7884ac0)
The fix is simple: call target_terminal_ours_for_output() before calling
tui_show_frame_info() in TUI's frame-changed hook, making sure to
restore the original terminal settings afterwards.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_selected_frame_level_changed_hook): Call
target_terminal_ours_for_output() before calling
tui_show_frame_info(), and restore the original terminal
settings afterwards.

* arm-linux-nat.c: Include nat/linux-ptrace.h.
As a user of the target memory read/write interface, the MI code must
adjust its memory allocations to take into account the addressable memory
unitsize of the target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_data_read_memory_bytes): Consider byte
size.
(mi_cmd_data_write_memory_bytes): Same.
New in v3:
* Change RSP documentation as well. The m, M and X packets now use
lengths in addressable memory units.
New in v2:
* Change wording: use byte for 8-bits chunks and addressable memory unit
for the unit of data associated to a single address.
* Introduce definition of addressable memory unit in the Memory
section.
This patch modifies the manual to clarify the MI, RSP and Python APIs in
regard to reading/writing memory on architectures with addressable
memory unit that are not 8 bits.
Care is taken to use the word "addressable memory unit" or "memory unit"
when referring to one piece of the smallest addressable size on the
current architecture and the word "byte" when referring to an 8-bits
data piece.
For MI, -data-{read,write}-memory are not modified, since they are
deprecated.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Data Manipulation): Clarify usage of
bytes and memory units for -data-{read,write}-memory-bytes.
(Packets): Same for m, M and X packets.
* python.texi (Inferiors In Python): Same for read_memory and
write_memory.
Bit mask ints are better to make enums as GDB already has support to
automatically decode them:
before this patch:
(gdb) p filterflags
$1 = 51
(gdb) p/x filterflags
$2 = 0x33
after this patch:
(gdb) p filterflags
$1 = (COREFILTER_ANON_PRIVATE | COREFILTER_ANON_SHARED | COREFILTER_ELF_HEADERS | COREFILTER_HUGETLB_PRIVATE)
gdb/ChangeLog
2015-06-15 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* linux-tdep.c (enum filterflags): Make it from anonymous enum.
(dump_mapping_p): Use it for parameter filterflags.
(linux_find_memory_regions_full): Use it for variable filterflags.
This patch fixes a bug that aarch64-linux.xml isn't copied to the
build tree, so that some tests catch-syscall.exp fail.
gdb:
2015-06-15 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* data-directory/Makefile.in (SYSCALLS_FILES): Add aarch64-linux.xml.
This promotes BFD's struct elf_build_id to the generic struct bfd_build_id,
populated when an ELF or PE BFD is read.
gdb is updated to use that, and to use the build-id to find symbols for PE files
also.
There is currently no generic way to extract the build-id from an object file,
perhaps an option to objdump to do this might make sense?
On x86_64-pc-cygwin, gdb's sepdebug.exp changes:
-# of unsupported tests 1
+# of expected passes 90
I don't seem to get consistent testsuite runs on i686-linux-gnu, but there
don't appear to be any regressions.

Replace __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE conditional with __CYGWIN__
__COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE was added to Cygwin's headers in 2006.
Versions of Cygwin which don't define __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE are long obsolete.
Also see the thread starting at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00989.html for some discussion
Note that __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE should just be sizeof(CONTEXT) (which is a
platform constant), but isn't due to historical mistakes in Cygwin headers.

We previously specified a few known register groups for the 'tui reg'
command. Other register groups could be accessed, but only by using the
'tui reg next' command and cycling through all the groups.
This commit removes the hard coded sub-commands of 'tui reg' and instead
adds dynamic completion of sub-commands based on the architecturally
defined register groups, giving immediate access to all available
register groups.
There is still the 'next' and 'prev' commands for cycling through the
register groups if that's wanted.
The new code maintains the ability to only enter partial names for
register groups, which is something we got for free when using the
standard sub-command mechanism.
The register (and register group) completer has been changed to use
get_current_arch rather than using the architecture of the currently
selected frame. When the target is running, this is equivalent,
however, when the target is not running, using get_current_arch will
provide results from the default architecture.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* completer.c: Add arch-utils.h include.
(enum reg_completer_targets): New enum.
(reg_or_group_completer_1): New function containing old
reg_or_group_completer, add and use new parameter to control what
is completed on. Use get_current_arch rather than architecture of
currently selected frame.
(reg_or_group_completer): Call new reg_or_group_completer_1.
(reggroup_completer): Call new reg_or_group_completer_1.
* completer.h (reggroup_completer): Add declaration.
* tui/tui-regs.c: Add 'completer.h' include.
(tui_reg_next_command): Renamed to...
(tui_reg_next): ...this. Adjust parameters and return rather than
display new group.
(tui_reg_prev_command): Renamed to...
(tui_reg_prev): ...this. Adjust parameters and return rather than
display new group.
(tui_reg_float_command): Delete.
(tui_reg_general_command): Delete.
(tui_reg_system_command): Delete.
(tui_reg_command): Rewrite to perform switching of register group.
Add header comment.
(tuireglist): Remove.
(tui_reggroup_completer): New function.
(_initialize_tui_regs): Remove 'tui reg' sub-commands, update
creation of 'tui reg' command.
* NEWS: Add comment about 'tui reg' changes.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (TUI Commands): Bring all 'tui reg' commands into a
single table entry.
If we are reading/writing from a memory object, the length represents
the number of "addresses" to read/write, so the addressable unit size
needs to be taken into account when allocating memory on gdb's side.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.c (target_read): Consider addressable unit size when
reading from a memory object.
(read_memory_robust): Same.
(read_whatever_is_readable): Same.
(target_write_with_progress): Consider addressable unit size
when writing to a memory object.
* target.h (target_read): Update documentation.
(target_write): Add documentation.
Add a new gdbarch method to get the length of an addressable memory unit
for a given architecture. The default implementation returns 1.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arch-utils.h (default_addressable_memory_unit_size): New.
* arch-utils.c (default_addressable_memory_unit_size): New.
* gdbarch.sh (addressable_memory_unit_size): New.
* gdbarch.h: Re-generate.
* gdbarch.c: Re-generate.
This contains various cleanups in the target memory read and write code.
They are not directly related to the non-8-bits changes, but they
clarify things a bit down the line.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.c (target_read): Rename variables and use
TARGET_XFER_E_IO.
(target_read_with_progress): Same.
(read_memory_robust): Constify parameters and rename
variables.
(read_whatever_is_readable): Constify parameters,
rename variables, adjust formatting.
* target.h (read_memory_robust): Constify parameters.
