numbers that thread as #1 and it is the current thread that time. But after

'thread apply all bt' even puts the thread #1 to the _end_ of the output!!!
I find maybe as good enough and with no risk of UI change flamewar to just
sort the threads by their number. Currently they are printed as they happen
in the internal GDB list which has no advantage. Printing thread #1 as the
first one with assumed 'thread apply all bt' (after the core file is loaded)
should make the complaint resolved I guess.

No objection to sorting the list, but if thread #1 is the important one,
then a concern could be it'll have scrolled off the screen (such a
concern has been voiced in another thread in another context),

to scroll back to see it.
So one *could* still want #1 to be last.
Do we want an option to choose the sort direction?

Should GDB always print after loading a core file what "thread" command would
print?
[Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7fcbe28fe700 (LWP 15453))]
BTW I think it will print the thread even when loading single/non-threaded
core file when other inferior(s) exist. But that currently crashes

When GDB is configured with "--without-tui --with-curses" or "--with-tui",
$prefer_curses is set to yes. But, that still doesn't mean that curses
will be used. configure will still search for the curses library, and
continue building without it. That's done here:
curses_found=no
if test x"$prefer_curses" = xyes; then
...
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(waddstr, [ncurses cursesX curses])
if test "$ac_cv_search_waddstr" != no; then
curses_found=yes
fi
fi
So if waddstr is not found, meaning curses is not really
available, even though it'd be preferred, $prefer_curses is
'yes', but $curses_found is 'no'.
So the right fix to tell whether we're linking with curses is
$curses_found=yes.

This commit fixes the regression on RHEL-5 systems introduced by
nat/linux-personality.c's check of HAVE_DECL_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
RHEL-5 systems define HAVE_DECL_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE as zero, so we

This patch moves the shared code present on
gdb/linux-nat.c:linux_nat_create_inferior and
gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_create_inferior to
nat/linux-personality.c. This code is responsible for disabling
address space randomization based on user setting, and using
<sys/personality.h> to do that. I decided to put the prototype of the
maybe_disable_address_space_randomization on nat/linux-osdata.h

Consider the following code:
type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
type Object (N : Integer) is record
Data : Table (1 .. N);
end record;
My_Object : Object := (N => 3, Data => (3, 5, 8));
Trying to print the range and length of the My_Object.Data array yields:
(gdb) print my_object.data'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 0
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 0
The first one is correct, and that is thanks to the fact that
the lower bound is statically known. However, for the upper
bound, and consequently the array's length, the values are incorrect.
It should be:
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 3
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 3
What happens here is that ada_array_bound_from_type sees that
our array has a parallel "___XA" type, and therefore tries to
use it. In particular, it described our array's index type as:
[...]___XDLU_1__n, which means lower bound = 1, and upper bound
is value of "n". Unfortunately, ada_array_bound_from_type does
not have access to the discriminant, and is therefore unable to
compute the bound correctly.
Fortunately, at this stage, the bound has already been computed
a while ago, and therefore doesn't need to be re-computed here.
This patch fixes the issue by ignoring that ___XA type if the array
is marked as already fixed.
This also fixes the same issue with packed arrays.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound_from_type): Ignore array's parallel
___XA type if the array has already been fixed.

This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBServer to detect 64-bit inferior
correctly. We find a problem that GDBServer is unable to detect on a
e5500 core processor. Current GDBServer assumes that MSR is a 64-bit
register, but MSR is a 32-bit register in Book III-E. This patch is
to fix this problem by checking the right bit in MSR, in order to handle
both Book III-S and Book III-E. In order to detect Book III-S and
Book III-E, we check the PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE from the host's HWCAP (by
getauxval on glibc >= 2.16. If getauxval doesn't exist, we implement
the fallback by parsing /proc/self/auxv), because it should an invariant
on the same machine cross different processes.
In order to share code, I add nat/ppc-linux.c for both GDB and
GDBserver side.

Executing a gdb script that runs the inferior (from the command line
with -x), and has it hit breakpoints with breakpoint commands that
themselves run the target, is currently broken on async targets
(Linux, remote).
While we're executing a command list or a script, we force the
interpreter to be sync, which results in some functions nesting an
event loop and waiting for the target to stop, instead of returning
immediately and having the top level event loop handle the stop.
The issue with this bug is simply that bpstat_do_actions misses
checking whether the interpreter is sync. When we get here, in the
case of executing a script (or, when the interpreter is sync), the
program has already advanced to the next breakpoint, through
maybe_wait_sync_command_done. We need to process its breakpoints
immediately, just like with a sync target.

Commit d3d4baed (PR python/17372 - Python hangs when displaying
help()) had the side effect of causing 'gdb -batch' to leave the
terminal in the wrong state if the program was run. E.g,.
$ echo 'main(){*(int*)0=0;}' | gcc -x c -; ./gdb/gdb -batch -ex r ./a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004004ff in main ()
$
If you start typing the next command, seemingly nothing happens - GDB
left the terminal with echo disabled.
The issue is that that "r" ends up in fetch_inferior_event, which
calls reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup, which causes
readline to prep the terminal (raw, echo disabled). But "-batch"
causes GDB to exit before the top level event loop is first started,
and then nothing de-preps the terminal.
The reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup function's intro
comment mentions:
"Need to do this as we go back to the event loop, ready to process
further input."
but the implementation forgets the case of when the interpreter is
sync, which indicates we won't return to the event loop yet, or as in
the case of -batch, we have not started it yet.
The fix is to not install the readline callback in that case.
For the test, in this case, checking that command echo still works is
sufficient. Comparing stty output before/after running GDB is even
better. Because stty may not be available, the test tries both ways.
In any case, since expect's spawn (what we use to start gdb) creates a
new pseudo tty, another expect spawn or tcl exec after GDB exits would
not see the wrong terminal settings. So instead, the test spawns a
shell and runs stty and GDB in it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This patch makes readline append new history lines to the GDB history
file on exit instead of overwriting the entire history file on exit.
This change allows us to run multiple simultaneous GDB sessions without
having each session overwrite the added history of each other session on
exit.
Care must be taken to ensure that the history file doesn't get corrupted
when multiple GDB processes are trying to simultaneously append to and
then truncate it. Safety is achieved in such a situation by using an
intermediate local history file to mutually exclude multiple processes
from simultaneously performing write operations on the global history
file.
