Now that prepare_for_testing etc. can cope with absolute path names,
this can be exploited for test cases with generated source files.
This is just to simplify the code and shouldn't cause any functional
change.
Test cases that produce source files in the build directory have not
been able to use prepare_for_testing and friends. This was because
build_executable_from_specs unconditionally prepended the source
directory path name to its arguments.
When evaluating an expression, if it is of a tagged type, GDB reads
the tag in memory and deduces the full view. At parsing time, however,
this operation is done only in the case of OP_VAR_VALUE. ptype does
not go through a full evaluation of expressions so it may return some
odd results:
(gdb) print c.menu_name
$1 = 0x0
(gdb) ptype $
type = system.strings.string_access
(gdb) ptype c.menu_name
type = <void>
This change removes this peculiarity by extending the tag resolution
to UNOP_IND and STRUCTOP_STRUCT. As in the case of OP_VAR_VALUE, this
implies switching from EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS to EVAL_NORMAL when a
tagged type is dereferenced.

This patch fixes PR16508, which is about MI "-trace-find frame-number 0"
behaves differently from CLI "tfind 0". In CLI, we check both
status->running and status->filename, but in MI, we only check
status->running, which looks wrong to me. This patch moves the code
of checking to a new function check_trace_running, and use it in
both CLI and MI.
This patch also adds a test case pr16508.exp, which fails without this
fix, and passes with the fix applied.

In non-stop mode, or rather, breakpoints always-inserted mode, the

I stumbled upon this when writing a patch to infrun.c, that made
handle_inferior_event & co fill in the cache before breakpoints were
removed from the target. Recall that wait_for_inferior flushes the
dcache for every event. So in that case, always-inserted mode was not
necessary to trigger this. It's just a convenient way to expose the
issue.
The dcache works at the raw memory level. We need to update it
whenever memory is written, no matter what kind of target memory
object was originally passed down by the caller. The issue is that
the dcache update code isn't reached when a caller explicitly writes
raw memory. Breakpoint insertion/removal is one such case --
mem-break.c uses target_write_read_memory/target_write_raw_memory.
The fix is to move the dcache update code from memory_xfer_partial_1
to raw_memory_xfer_partial so that it's always reachable.
When we do that, we can actually simplify a series of things.
memory_xfer_partial_1 no longer needs to handle writes for any kind of
memory object, and therefore dcache_xfer_memory no longer needs to
handle writes either. So the latter (dcache_xfer_memory) and its
callees can be simplified to only care about reads. While we're
touching dcache_xfer_memory's prototype, might as well rename it to
reflect that fact that it only handles reads, and make it follow the
new target_xfer_status/xfered_len style. This made me notice that
dcache_xfer_memory loses the real error status if a memory read fails:
we could have failed to read due to TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE, for
instance, but we always return TARGET_XFER_E_IO, hence the FIXME note.
I felt that fixing that fell out of the scope of this patch.
Currently dcache_xfer_memory handles the case of a write failing. The
whole cache line is invalidated when that happens. However,
dcache_update, the sole mechanism for handling writes that will remain
after the patch, does not presently handle that scenario. That's a
bug. The patch makes it handle that, by passing down the
target_xfer_status status from the caller, so that it can better
decide what to do itself. While I was changing the function's
prototype, I constified the myaddr parameter, getting rid of the need
for the cast as seen in its existing caller.

Starting with DWARF version 4, the description of the DW_AT_high_pc
attribute was amended to say:
if it is of class constant, the value is an unsigned integer offset
which when added to the low PC gives the address of the first
location past the last instruction associated with the entity.
A change was made in Apr 27th, 2012 to reflect that change:
| commit 91da14142c
| Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
| Date: Fri Apr 27 18:55:19 2012 +0000
|
| * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_get_pc_bounds): Check DW_AT_high_pc form to
| see whether it is an address or a constant offset from DW_AT_low_pc.
| (dwarf2_record_block_ranges): Likewise.
| (read_partial_die): Likewise.
Unfortunately, this new interpretation is now used regardless of
the CU's DWARF version. It turns out that one of WindRiver's compilers
(FTR: Diabdata 4.4) is generating DWARF version 2 info with
DW_AT_high_pc attributes improperly using the data4 form. Because of
that, we miscompute all high PCs incorrectly. This leads to a lot of
symtabs having overlapping ranges, which in turn causes havoc in
pc-to-symtab-and-line translations.
One visible effect is when inserting a breakpoint on a given function:
(gdb) b world
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005c4
The source location of the breakpoint is missing. The output should be:
(gdb) b world
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005c8: file dw2-rel-hi-pc-world.c, line 24.
What happens in this case is that the pc-to-SAL translation first
starts be trying to find the symtab associated to our PC using
each symtab's ranges. Because of the high_pc miscomputation,
many symtabs end up matching, and the heuristic trying to select
the most probable one unfortunately returns one that is unrelated
(it really had no change in this case to do any better). Once we
have the wrong symtab, the start searching the associated linetable,
where the addresses are correct, thus finding no match, and therefore
no SAL.
This patch is an attempt at handling the situation as gracefully
as we can, without guarantees. It introduces a new function
"attr_value_as_address" which uses the correct accessor for getting
the value of a given attribute. It then adjust the code throughout
this unit to use this function instead of assuming that addresses always
have the DW_FORM_addr format.
It also fixes the original issue of miscomputing the high_pc
by limiting the new interpretation of constant form DW_AT_high_pc
attributes to units using DWARF version 4 or later.

Consider the following type for which we would like to provide
a pretty-printer and manage it via RegexpCollectionPrettyPrinter:
typedef long time_t;
Currently, this does not work because this framework only considers
the type's tag name:
typename = gdb.types.get_basic_type(val.type).tag
if not typename:
return None
This patch extends it to use the type's name if the basic type
does not have a tag name, thus allowing the framework to also
work with typedefs like the above.

Consider the following Ada code:
-- An array whose index is an enumeration type with 128 enumerators.
type Enum_T is (Enum_000, Enum_001, [...], Enum_128);
type Table is array (Enum_T) of Boolean;
When the compiler is configured to generate pure DWARF debugging info,
trying to print type Table's description yields:
ptype pck.table
type = array (enum_000 .. -128) of boolean
The expected output was:
ptype pck.table
type = array (enum_000 .. enum_128) of boolean
The DWARF debugging info for our array looks like this:
<1><44>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<45> DW_AT_name : pck__table
<50> DW_AT_type : <0x28>
<2><54>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<55> DW_AT_type : <0x5c>
<59> DW_AT_lower_bound : 0
<5a> DW_AT_upper_bound : 128
The array index type is, by construction with the DWARF standard,
a subrange of our enumeration type, defined as follow:
<2><5b>: Abbrev Number: 0
<1><5c>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<5d> DW_AT_name : pck__enum_t
<69> DW_AT_byte_size : 1
<2><6b>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_enumerator)
<6c> DW_AT_name : pck__enum_000
<7a> DW_AT_const_value : 0
[etc]
Therefore, while processing these DIEs, the array index type ends
up being a TYPE_CODE_RANGE whose target type is our enumeration type.
But the problem is that we read the upper bound as a negative value
(-128), which is then used as is by the type printer to print the
array upper bound. This negative value explains the "-128" in the
output.
To understand why the range type's upper bound is read as a negative
value, one needs to look at how it is determined, in read_subrange_type:
orig_base_type = die_type (die, cu);
base_type = check_typedef (orig_base_type);
[... high is first correctly read as 128, but then ...]
if (!TYPE_UNSIGNED (base_type) && (high & negative_mask))
high |= negative_mask;
The negative_mask is applied, here, because BASE_TYPE->FLAG_UNSIGNED
is not set. And the reason for that is because the base_type was only
partially constructed during the call to die_type. While the enum
is constructed on the fly by read_enumeration_type, its flag_unsigned
flag is only set later on, while creating the symbols corresponding to
the enum type's enumerators (see process_enumeration_scope), after
we've already finished creating our range type - and therefore too
late.
My first naive attempt at fixing this problem consisted in extracting
the part in process_enumeration_scope which processes all enumerators,
to generate the associated symbols, but more importantly set the type's
various flags when necessary. However, this does not always work well,
because we're still in the subrange_type's scope, and it might be
different from the scope where the enumeration type is defined.
So, instead, what this patch does to fix the issue is to extract
from process_enumeration_scope the part that determines whether
the enumeration type should have the flag_unsigned and/or the
flag_flag_enum flags set. It turns out that, aside from the code
implementing the loop, this part is fairly independent of the symbol
creation. With that part extracted, we can then use it at the end
of our enumeration type creation, to produce a type which should now
no longer need any adjustment.
Once the enumeration type produced is correctly marked as unsigned,
the subrange type's upper bound is then correctly read as an unsigned
value, therefore giving us an upper bound of 128 instead of -128.

function, mostly extracted from process_structure_scope.

Consider the following declarations in Ada...
type Item is range -32 .. 31;
for Item'Size use 6;
type Table is array (Natural range 0 .. 4) of Item;
pragma Pack (Table);
... which declare a packed array whose elements are 6 bits long.
The debugger currently does not notice that the array is packed,
and thus prints values of this type incorrectly. This can be seen
in the "ptype" output:
(gdb) ptype table
type = array (0 .. 4) of foo.item
Normally, the debugger should print:
(gdb) ptype table
type = array (0 .. 4) of foo.item <packed: 6-bit elements>
The debugging information for this array looks like this:
.uleb128 0xf # (DIE (0x15c) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF9 # DW_AT_name: "pck__table"
.byte 0x6 # DW_AT_bit_stride
.long 0x1a9 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x3b # DW_AT_type
.byte 0 # DW_AT_lower_bound
.byte 0x4 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x15c
The interesting part is the DW_AT_bit_stride attribute, which tells
the size of the array elements is 6 bits, rather than the normal
element type's size.
This patch adds support for this attribute by first creating
gdbtypes.c::create_array_type_with_stride, which is an enhanced
version of create_array_type taking an extra parameter as the stride.
The old create_array_type can then be re-implemented very simply
by calling the new create_array_type_with_stride.
We can then use this new function from dwarf2read, to create
arrays with or without stride.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (create_array_type_with_stride): Add declaration.
* gdbtypes.c (create_array_type_with_stride): New function,

and DW_AT_bit_stride attributes.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/arr-stride.c: New file.
* gdb.dwarf2/arr-stride.exp: New file.
The test, relying purely on generating an assembly file, only
verifies the type description of our array. But I was also
able to verify manually that the debugger print values of these
types correctly as well (which was not the case prior to this
patch).
With the test changed as in the patch, against current mainline, we get:

The breakpoint that caused a stop is breakpoint 3, but GDB end up
reporting (and running breakpoint commands of) "Breakpoint 2" instead.
The issue is that the bpstat_check_breakpoint_conditions logic of
"wrong thread" is missing the "wrong task" check. This is usually
harmless, because the thread hop code in infrun.c code that handles
wrong-task-hitting-breakpoint does check for task-specific breakpoints
(within breakpoint_thread_match):
/* Check if a regular breakpoint has been hit before checking
for a potential single step breakpoint. Otherwise, GDB will
not see this breakpoint hit when stepping onto breakpoints. */
if (regular_breakpoint_inserted_here_p (aspace, stop_pc))
{
if (!breakpoint_thread_match (aspace, stop_pc, ecs->ptid))
thread_hop_needed = 1;
}
IOW, usually, when one only has a task specific breakpoint at a given
address, things work correctly. Put another task-specific or
non-task-specific breakpoint there, and things break.
A patch that eliminates the special thread hop code in infrun.c is
what exposed this, as after that GDB solely relies on
bpstat_check_breakpoint_conditions to know whether the right or wrong
task hit a breakpoint. IOW, given the latent bug, Ada task-specific
breakpoints become non-task-specific, and that is caught by the
testsuite, as:

I realized that the name of this test only made sense when considering
the old (never committed) implementation of the fix that came along
with the test originally, that forced a schedlock while a step-resume
(to get over the signal handler) was inserted. The final solution
that went into the tree does not force that locking.
So this renames it to something more descriptive.

This is the continuation of what Joel proposed on:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-12/msg00977.html>
Now that I have already submitted and pushed the patch to split
i386_stap_parse_special_token into two smaller functions, it is indeed
simpler to understand this patch.
It occurs because, on x86, triplet displacement operands are allowed
(like "-4+8-20(%rbp)"), and the current parser for this expression is
buggy. It does not correctly extract the register name from the
expression, which leads to incorrect evaluation. The parser was also
being very "generous" with the expression, so I included a few more
checks to ensure that we're indeed dealing with a triplet displacement
operand.
This patch also includes testcases for the two different kind of
expressions that can be encountered on x86: the triplet displacement
(explained above) and the three-argument displacement (as in
"(%rbx,%ebx,-8)"). The tests are obviously arch-dependent and are
placed under gdb.arch/.

If GDB has crashed then gdb_spawn_id still exists (although it does not work).
So my patch does not change anything. And also currently it will leave the
stale gdbserver running anyway.
In general if gdb_spawn_id does not exist then send_gdb + gdb_expect just do
not make sense anyway. So this patch just prevents the error in such case.
The killing of stale gdbserver could be improved multiple ways (also as
suggested by Pedro in the original thread) but that is IMO outside of the
scope of this patch. Apparently if there is no good response from GDB then
gdb_finish() should try to call gdb_start just to kill that gdbserver, IIUC.

type Primary_Table is array (Color range Red .. Blue) of Boolean;
Prim : Primary_Table := (True, False, False);

Say:
<stopped at a breakpoint in thread 2>
(gdb) thread 3
(gdb) step
The above triggers the prepare_to_proceed/deferred_step_ptid process,
which switches back to thread 2, to step over its breakpoint before
getting back to thread 3 and "step" it.
If while stepping over the breakpoint in thread 2, a signal arrives,
and it is set to pass/nostop, we'll set a step-resume breakpoint at
the supposed signal-handler resume address, and call keep_going. The
problem is that we were supposedly stepping thread 3, and that
keep_going delivers a signal to thread 2, and due to scheduler-locking
off, resumes everything else, _including_ thread 3, the thread we want
stepping. This means that we lose control of thread 3 until the next
event, when we stop everything. The end result for the user, is that
GDB lost control of the "step".
Here's the current infrun debug output of the above, with the testcase

^^^ we stopped at the wrong line. We still stepped a bit because the
test is running in a loop, and when we got back to stepping thread 3,
it happened to be in the stepping range. (The loop increments a
counter, and the test makes sure it increments exactly once. Without
the fix, the counter increments a bunch, since the user-stepped thread
runs free without GDB noticing.)
The fix is to switch to the stepping thread before continuing for the
step-resume breakpoint.

The test turns on infrun debug, does a stepi while a SIGCHLD is
pending, and checks whether the "random signal" paths in infrun.c are
taken.
On the software single-step variant above, those paths were not taken.
This is a test bug.
The Linux backend short-circuits reporting signals that are set to
pass/nostop/noprint. But _only_ if the thread is _not_
single-stepping. So on hardware-step targets, even though the signal
is set to pass/nostop/noprint by default, the thread is indeed told to
single-step, and so the core sees the signal. On the other hand, on
software single-step architectures, the backend never actually gets a
single-step request (steps are emulated by setting a breakpoint at the
next pc, and then the target told to continue, not step). So the
short-circuiting code triggers and the core doesn't see the signal.
The fix is to make the test be sure the target doesn't bypass
reporting the signal to the core.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, both with and without a series that
implements software single-step for x86_64.

This patch handles another aspect of the ELFv2 ABI, which unfortunately
requires common code changes.
In ELFv2, functions may provide both a global and a local entry point.
The global entry point (where the function symbol points to) is intended
to be used for function-pointer or cross-module (PLT) calls, and requires
r12 to be set up to the entry point address itself. The local entry
point (which is found at a fixed offset after the global entry point,
as defined by bits in the symbol table entries' st_other field), instead
expects r2 to be set up to the current TOC.
Now, when setting a breakpoint on a function by name, you really want
that breakpoint to trigger either way, no matter whether the function
is called via its local or global entry point. Since the global entry
point will always fall through into the local entry point, the way to
achieve that is to simply set the breakpoint at the local entry point.
One way to do that would be to have prologue parsing skip the code
sequence that makes up the global entry point. Unfortunately, this
does not work reliably, since -for optimized code- GDB these days
will not actuall invoke the prologue parsing code but instead just
set the breakpoint at the symbol address and rely on DWARF being
correct at any point throughout the function ...
Unfortunately, I don't really see any way to express the notion of
local entry points with the current set of gdbarch callbacks.
Thus this patch adds a new callback, skip_entrypoint, that is
somewhat analogous to skip_prologue, but is called every time
GDB needs to determine a function start address, even in those
cases where GDB decides to not call skip_prologue.
As a side effect, the skip_entrypoint implementation on ppc64
does not need to perform any instruction parsing; it can simply
rely on the local entry point flags in the symbol table entry.
With this implemented, two test cases would still fail to set
the breakpoint correctly, but that's because they use the construct:
gdb_test "break *hello"
Now, using "*hello" explicitly instructs GDB to set the breakpoint
at the numerical value of "hello" treated as function pointer, so
it will by definition only hit the global entry point.
I think this behaviour is unavoidable, but acceptable -- most people
do not use this construct, and if they do, they get what they
asked for ...
In one of those two test cases, use of this construct is really
not appropriate. I think this was added way back when as a means
to work around prologue skipping problems on some platforms. These
days that shouldn't really be necessary any more ...
For the other (step-bt), we really want to make sure backtracing
works on the very first instruction of the routine. To enable that
test also on powerpc64le-linux, we can modify the code to call the
test function via function pointer (which makes it use the global
entry point in the ELFv2 ABI).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (skip_entrypoint): New callback.
* gdbarch.c, gdbarch.h: Regenerate.
* symtab.c (skip_prologue_sal): Call gdbarch_skip_entrypoint.
* infrun.c (fill_in_stop_func): Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/sigbpt.exp: Do not use "*" when setting breakpoint
on a function.
* gdb.base/step-bt.c: Call hello via function pointer to make
sure its first instruction is executed on powerpc64le-linux.
The powerpc64le-linux ABI specifies that when a 128-bit DFP value is
passed in a pair of floating-point registers, the first register holds
the most-significant part of the value. This is as opposed to the
usual rule on little-endian systems, where the first register would
hold the least-significant part.
This affects two places in GDB, the read/write routines for the
128-bit DFP pseudo-registers, and the function call / return
sequence. For the former, current code already distinguishes
between big- and little-endian targets, but gets the latter
wrong. This is presumably because *GCC* also got it wrong,
and GDB matches the old GCC behavior. But GCC is now fixed:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg02145.html
so GDB needs to be fixed too. (Old code shouldn't really be
an issue since there is no code "out there" so far that uses
dfp128 on little-endian ...)
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_freg): Use correct order
within a register pair holding a DFP 128-bit value on little-endian.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base): Likewise.
* rs6000-tdep.c (dfp_pseudo_register_read): Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/powerpc-d128-regs.exp: Enable on powerpc64*-*.
Many VSX test were failing on powerpc64le-linux, since -as opposed to the
AltiVec tests- there never were little-endian versions of the test patterns.
This patch adds such patterns, along the lines of altivec-regs.exp.
In addition, there is an actual code change required: For those VSX
registers that overlap a floating-point register, the FP register
overlaps the most-significant half of the VSX register both on big-
and little-endian systems. However, on little-endian systems, that
half is stored at an offset of 8 bytes (not 0). This works already
for the "real" FP registers, but current code gets it wrong for
the "extended" pseudo FP register GDB generates for the second
half of the VSX register bank.
This patch updates the corresponding pseudo read/write routines
to take the appropriate offset into consideration.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-tdep.c (efpr_pseudo_register_read): Use correct offset
of the overlapped FP register within the VSX register on little-
endian platforms.
(efpr_pseudo_register_write): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/vsx-regs.exp: Check target endianness. Provide variants
of the test patterns for use on little-endian systems.
A couple of AltiVec tests fail spuriously on powerpc64le-linux, because
they compare against an incorrect pattern. Note that those tests already
contain little-endian variants of the patterns, but those seem to have
bit-rotted a bit: when outputting a vector, GDB no longer omits trailing
zero elements (as it used to do in the past).
This patch updates the pattern to the new GDB output behavior.
In addition, the patch updates the endian test to use the new
gdb_test_multiple logic instead of gdb_expect.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/altivec-regs.exp: Use gdb_test_multiple for endian test.

Trying to print the type description of this type currently yields:

The trace-specific test case 'entry-values' concludes fairly late in

there are some platform specifics that don't work on s390x. The fix
addresses two aspects:
(1) Removal of an excess space character in the regex for the
disassembly. This is needed when there is a function alignment
gap, because then the hex address is immediately followed by a
colon, like in the first 'nopr' line below:
(gdb) disassemble foo+50,+10

0x0000000000000038 <bar+0>: stmg %r11,%r15,88(%r15)
End of assembler dump.
(2) Handling for the s390-specific call instruction.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/entry-values.exp: Remove excess space character from

On ppc64-linux a function symbol does not point to code, but to the
function descriptor. Thus the previous change for this test case
broke it:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-01/msg00275.html
This patch reverts to the original method, re-introducing '_start'
symbols. In addition, it adds sufficient alignment before the label,
such that the label never points into an alignment gap.

When upstream gcc is given a command line with the "-g" option after
"-g3", it doesn't generate a ".debug_macro" section. This is because
the last option wins, thus downgrading the debug level again. Without
any macro debug information in the executable, info-macros.exp
obviously produces many failures.
Since the "-g" option is appended by DejaGnu's target_compile whenever
the "debug" option is set, the fix just removes that option.

* gdb.base/info-macros.exp: Remove "debug" from the compile

The branch trace is represented as 3 vectors:
- a block vector
- a instruction vector
- a function vector
Each vector (except for the first) is computed from the one above.
Change this into a graph where a node represents a sequence of instructions
belonging to the same function and where we have three types of edges to connect
the function segments:
- control flow
- same function (instance)
- call stack
This allows us to navigate in the branch trace. We will need this for "record
goto" and reverse execution.
This patch introduces the data structure and computes the control flow edges.
It also introduces iterator structs to simplify iterating over the branch trace
in control-flow order.
It also fixes PR gdb/15240 since now recursive calls are handled correctly.
Fix the test that got the number of expected fib instances and also the
function numbers wrong.
The current instruction had been part of the branch trace. This will look odd
once we start support for reverse execution. Remove it. We still keep it in

The test doesn't execute the compiled object's code, so GDB will try
to read memory from the binary's sections. Instructions on ARM are
4-byte wide, and thus ARM's prologue scanner reads in 4-byte chunks.
As the section 'func' is put at is only 1 byte long, and no other
section is allocated contiguously:

S390, the dw2-dir-file-name test case fails in the first
gdb_continue_to_breakpoint. Indeed, the breakpoint is now placed into
the alignment gap *before* the actual function.
This happens because the test case declares the respective "*_start"
symbol as a "loose" label before the function definition, and the
compiler inserts the alignment between that label and the function
itself.
The "*_start" symbols were only necessary because FUNC made the
function static. The fix makes the functions extern instead, thus
making the "*_start" labels unnecessary.

* gdb.mi/mi-info-os.exp: Connect to the target with
mi_gdb_target_load.
Currently, when GDB connects in all-stop mode, GDBserver always
responds to the status packet with a GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, even if the
program is actually stopped for some other signal.
(gdb) tar rem ...
...
(gdb) c
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
(gdb) disconnect
(gdb) tar rem ...
(gdb) c
(Or a GDB crash instead of an explicit disconnect.)
This results in the program losing that signal on that last continue,
because gdb will tell the target to resume with no signal (to suppress
the GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, due to 'handle SISGTRAP nopass'), and that will
actually suppress the real signal the program had stopped for
(SIGUSR1). To fix that, I think we should make GDBserver report the
real signal the thread had stopped for in response to the status
packet:
@item ?
@cindex @samp{?} packet
Indicate the reason the target halted. The reply is the same as for
step and continue.
But, that raises the question -- which thread are we reporting the
status for? Due to how the RSP in all-stop works, we can only report
one status. The status packet's response is a stop reply packet, so
it includes the thread identifier, so it's not a problem packet-wise.
However, GDBserver is currently always reporting the status for first
thread in the thread list, even though that may well not be the thread
that got the signal that caused the program to stop. So the next
logical step would be to report the status for the
last_ptid/last_status thread (the last event reported to gdb), if it's
still around; and if not, fallback to some other thread.
There's an issue on the GDB side with that, though...
GDB currently always adds the thread reported in response to the
status query as the first thread in its list. That means that if we
start with e.g.,
(gdb) info threads
3 Thread 1003 ...
* 2 Thread 1002 ...
1 Thread 1001 ...
And reconnect:
(gdb) disconnect
(gdb) tar rem ...
We end up with:
(gdb) info threads
3 Thread 1003 ...
2 Thread 1001 ...
* 1 Thread 1002 ...
Not a real big issue, but it's reasonably fixable, by having GDB
fetch/sync the thread list before fetching the status/'?', and then
using the status to select the right thread as current on the GDB
side. Holes in the thread numbers are squashed before/after
reconnection (e.g., 2,3,5 becomes 1,2,3), but the order is preserved,
which I think is both good, and good enough.
However (yes, there's more...), the previous GDB that was connected
might have had gdbserver running in non-stop mode, or could have left
gdbserver doing disconnected tracing (which also forces non-stop), and
if the new gdb/connection is in all-stop mode, we can end up with more
than one thread with a signal to report back to gdb. As we can only
report one thread/status (in the all-stop RSP variant; the non-stop
variant doesn't have this issue), we get to do what we do at every
other place we have this situation -- leave events we can't report
right now as pending, so that the next resume picks them up.
Note all this ammounts to a QoI change, within the existing framework.
There's really no RSP change here.
The only user visible change (other than that the signal is program is
stopped at isn't lost / is passed to the program), is in "info
program", that now can show the signal the program stopped for. Of
course, the next resume will respect the pass/nopass setting for the
signal in question. It'd be reasonable to have the initial connection
tell the user the program was stopped with a signal, similar to when
we load a core to debug, but I'm leaving that out for a future change.
I think we'll need to either change how handle_inferior_event & co
handle stop_soon, or maybe bypass them completely (like
fork-child.c:startup_inferior) for that.

Consider the following types:
type Time_T is record
Secs : Integer;
end record;
Before : Time_T := (Secs => 1384395743);
In this example, we assume that type Time_T is the number of seconds
since Epoch, and so added a Python pretty-printer, to print this
type in a more human-friendly way. For instance:
(gdb) print before
$1 = Thu Nov 14 02:22:23 2013 (1384395743)
However, we've noticed that things stop working when this type is
embedded inside another record, and we try to print that record.
For instance, with the following declarations:
type Composite is record
Id : Integer;
T : Time_T;
end record;
Afternoon : Composite := (Id => 1, T => (Secs => 1384395865));
(gdb) print afternoon
$2 = (id => 1, t => (secs => 1384395865))
We expected instead:
(gdb) print afternoon
$2 = (id => 1, t => Thu Nov 14 02:24:25 2013 (1384395865))
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that we try to print
each field via a call to val_print, rather than calling ada_val_print
directly. We need to go through val_print, as the val_print
handles all language-independent features such as calling the
pretty-printer, knowing that ada_val_print will get called eventually
if actual Ada-specific printing is required (which should be the
most common scenario).
And because val_print takes the language as parameter, we enhanced
the print_field_values and print_variant_part to also take a language.
As a bonus, this allows us to remove a couple of references to
current_language.

Consider the following declarations:
typedef long our_time_t;
our_time_t current_time = 1384395743;
The purpose of this patch is to allow the use of a pretty-printer
for variables of type our_time_t. Normally, pretty-printing sniffers
use the tag name in order to determine which, if any, pretty-printer
should be used. But in the case above, the tag name is not set, since
it does not apply to integral types.
This patch extends the gdb.Type list of attributes to also include
the name of the type, thus allowing the sniffer to match against
that name. With that change, I was able to write a pretty-printer
which displays our variable as follow:
(gdb) print current_time

Code rationale
==============
by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
This is a fix for bug 16297. The problem occurs when the user attempts
to catch any syscall 0 (such as syscall read on Linux/x86_64). GDB was
not able to catch the syscall and was missing the breakpoint.
Now, breakpoint_hit_catch_syscall returns immediately when it finds the
correct syscall number, avoiding a following check for the end of the
search vector, that returns a no hit if the syscall number was zero.
Testcase rationale
==================
by: Sergio Durigan Junior
This testcase is a little difficult to write. By doing a quick
inspection at the Linux source, one can see that, in many targets, the
syscall number 0 is restart_syscall, which is forbidden to be called
from userspace. Therefore, on many targets, there's just no way to test
this safely.
My decision was to take the simpler route and just adds the "read"
syscall on the default test. Its number on x86_64 is zero, which is
"good enough" since many people here do their tests on x86_64 anyway and
it is a popular architecture.
However, there was another little gotcha. When using "read" passing 0
as the third parameter (i.e., asking it to read 0 bytes), current libc
implementations could choose not to effectively call the syscall.
Therefore, the best solution was to create a temporary pipe, write 1
byte into it, and then read this byte from it.

While fixing another bug, I found that the current
gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp is kind of messy, could use some
improvements, and is not correctly testing some things.
I've made the following patch to address all the issues I found. On the
organization side, it does a cleanup and removes unecessary imports of
gdb_prompt, uses prepare_for_testing and clean_restart where needed, and
fixes some comments. The testcase was also not correctly testing
catching syscalls using only numbers, or catching many syscalls at
once. I fixed that.
The patch also uses a new method for obtaining the syscalls numbers: it
relies on the C source file to get them, via <sys/syscall.h> and SYS_*
macros. This makes the .exp file simpler because there is no need to
include target conditionals there.
I tested this on x86_64 Fedora 18.

Like when stepping, the current stack frame location is expected to be
printed as result of tfind command, if that results in moving to a
different function. In tfind_1 we see:
if (from_tty
&& (has_stack_frames () || traceframe_number >= 0))
{
enum print_what print_what;
/* NOTE: in imitation of the step command, try to determine
whether we have made a transition from one function to
another. If so, we'll print the "stack frame" (ie. the new
function and it's arguments) -- otherwise we'll just show the
new source line. */
if (frame_id_eq (old_frame_id,
get_frame_id (get_current_frame ())))
print_what = SRC_LINE;
else
print_what = SRC_AND_LOC;
print_stack_frame (get_selected_frame (NULL), 1, print_what, 1);
do_displays ();
}
However, when we haven't collected any registers in the tracepoint
(collect $regs), that doesn't actually work:
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) info tracepoints

#0 func0 () at ../.././../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/circ.c:28
28 }
(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 1, tracepoint 2
32 }
(gdb)
When we don't have info about the stack available
(UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE), frames end up with outer_frame_id as frame ID.
And in the scenario above, the issue is that both frames before and
after the second tfind (the frames for func0 an func1) have the same
id (outer_frame_id), so the frame_id_eq check returns false, even
though the frames were of different functions. GDB knows that,
because the PC is inferred from the tracepoint's address, even if no
registers were collected.
To fix this, this patch adds support for frame ids with a valid code
address, but <unavailable> stack address, and then makes the unwinders
use that instead of the catch-all outer_frame_id for such frames. The
frame_id_eq check in tfind_1 then automatically does the right thing
as expected.
I tested with --directory=gdb.trace/ , before/after the patch, and
compared the resulting gdb.logs, then adjusted the tests to expect the
extra output that came out. Turns out that was only circ.exp, the
original test that actually brought this issue to light.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.

This function has the following code:
elt_type = type;
for (i = n; i > 1; i--)
elt_type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
For multi-dimension arrays, the code above tries to find the array
type corresponding to the dimension we're trying to inspect.
The problem is that, past the second dimension, the loop does
nothing other than repeat the first iteration. There is a little
thinko where it got the TYPE_TARGET_TYPE of TYPE instead of ELT_TYPE!
To my surprise, I was unable to produce an Ada exemple that demonstrated
the problem. That's because the examples I created all trigger a parallel
___XA type which we then use in place of the ELT_TYPE in order to
determine the bounds - see the code that immediately follows our
loop above:
index_type_desc = ada_find_parallel_type (type, "___XA");
ada_fixup_array_indexes_type (index_type_desc);
if (index_type_desc != NULL)
[...]
So, in order to avoid depending on an Ada example where the compiler
can potentially decide one way or the other, I decided to use an
artificial example, written in C. With ...
int multi[1][2][3];
... forcing the language to Ada, and trying to print the 'last,
we get:
(gdb) p multi'last(1)
$1 = 0
(gdb) p multi'last(2)
$2 = 1
(gdb) p multi'last(3)
$3 = 1 <<<--- This should be 2!
Additionally, I noticed that a couple of check_typedef's were missing.
This patch adds them. And since the variable in question only gets
used within an "else" block, I moved the variable declaration and
use inside that block - making it clear what the scope of the variable
is.

This helps with the following issue: Given an Ada program defining
a global variable:
package Pck is
Watch : Integer := 1974;
end Pck;
When printing the address of this variable, GDB also tries to print
the associated symbol name:
(gdb) p watch'address
$1 = (access integer) 0x6139d8 <pck__watch>
^^
||
The problem is that GDB prints the variable's linkage name, instead
of its natural name. This is because the language of the associated
minimal symbol never really gets set.
This patch adds handling for Ada symbols in symbol_find_demangled_name.
After this patch, we now get:

$1 = (access integer) 0x6139d8 <pck.watch>

Doing "info frame" in the outermost frame, when that was indicated by
the next frame saying the unwound PC is undefined/not saved, results
in error and incomplete output:

rip = 0x323d4f168d in clone (../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:115); saved rip Register 16 was not saved
(gdb)
Not saved register values are treated as optimized out values
internally throughout. stack.c:frame_info is handing unvailable
values, but not optimized out ones. The patch deletes the
frame_unwind_caller_pc_if_available wrapper function and instead lets
errors propagate to frame_info (it's only user).
As frame_unwind_pc now needs to be able to handle and cache two
different error scenarios, the prev_pc.p variable is replaced with an
enumeration.
(FWIW, I looked into making gdbarch_unwind_pc or a variant return
struct value's instead, but it results in lots of boxing and unboxing
for no real gain -- e.g., the mips and arm implementations need to do
computation on the unboxed PC value. Might as well throw an error on
first attempt to get at invalid contents.)
After the patch, we get:
(gdb) info frame
Stack level 2, frame at 0x0:
rip = 0x323d4f168d in clone (../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:115); saved rip = <not saved>

Consider the following code:
type Ptr is access all Integer;
IP : Ptr := new Integer'(123);
IP is the Ada exception of a pointer to an integer. To dereference
the pointer and get its value, the user uses the reserved word "all"
as follow:
(gdb) p ip.all
$1 = 123
Ada being a case-insensitive language, the casing should not matter.
Unfortunately, for the reserved word "all", things don't work. For
instance:
(gdb) p ip.ALL
Type integer is not a structure or union type

... when trying to execute an undefined GDB/MI command. When trying
to execute a GDB/MI command which does not exist, the current error
result record looks like this:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported"
The only indication that the command does not exist is the error
message. It would be a little fragile for a consumer to rely solely
on the contents of the error message in order to determine whether
a command exists or not.
This patch improves the situation by adding concept of error
code, starting with one well-defined error code ("undefined-command")
identifying errors due to a non-existant command. Here is the new
output:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported",code="undefined-command"
This error code is only displayed when the corresponding error
condition is met. Otherwise, the error record remains unchanged.
For instance:
-symbol-list-lines foo.adb
^error,msg="-symbol-list-lines: Unknown source file name."
For frontends to be able to know whether they can rely on this
variable, a new entry "undefined-command-error-code" has been
added to the "-list-features" command. Another option would be
to always generate an error="..." variable (for the default case,
we could decide for instance that the error code is the empty string).
But it seems more efficient to provide that info in "-list-features"
and then only add the error code when meaningful.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-undefined-cmd.exp: New testcase.
This patch adds a new GDB/MI command meant for graphical frontends
trying to determine whether a given GDB/MI command exists or not.
Examples:
-info-gdb-mi-command unsupported-command
^done,command={exists="false"}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true"}
(gdb)
At the moment, this is the only piece of information that this
command returns.
Eventually, and if needed, we can extend it to provide
command-specific pieces of information, such as updates to
the command's syntax since inception. This could become,
for instance:
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true",features=[]}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command catch-assert
^done,command={exists="true",features=["conditions"]}
In the first case, it would mean that no extra features,
while in the second, it announces that the -catch-assert
command in this version of the debugger supports a feature
called "condition" - exact semantics to be documented with
combined with the rest of the queried command's documentation.
But for now, we start small, and only worry about existance.
And to bootstrap the process, I have added an entry in the
output of the -list-features command as well ("info-gdb-mi-command"),
allowing the graphical frontends to go through the following process:
1. Send -list-features, collect info from there as before;
2. Check if the output contains "info-gdb-mi-command".
If it does, then support for various commands can be
queried though -info-gdb-mi-command. Newer commands
will be expected to always be checked via this new
-info-gdb-mi-command.

When printing an entirely optimized out structure/class/union, we
print a single <optimized out> instead of printing <optimized out> for
each field.
This patch makes an entirely unavailable structure/class/union be
likewise displayed with a single "<unavailable>" rather than the whole
object with all fields <unavailable>.
This seems good because this way the user can quickly tell whether the
whole value is unavailable, rather than having to skim all fields.

have.

* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-bad-cfi.S: Update comment.
Debugging PR 16155 further, I found that the DWARF unwinder found the
function in question, but thought it had no registers saved
(fs->regs.num_regs == 0).
It seems to me that if a frame does not specify the return address
column, or if the return address column is explicitly marked as
DWARF2_FRAME_REG_UNSPECIFIED, then we should set the
"undefined_retaddr" flag and let the DWARF unwinder gracefully stop.
This patch implements that idea.
With this patch the backtrace works properly:

The UNWIND_SAME_ID check is done between THIS_FRAME and the next frame
when we go try to unwind the previous frame. But at this point, it's
already too late -- we ended up with two frames with the same ID in
the frame chain. Each frame having its own ID is an invariant assumed
throughout GDB. This patch applies the UNWIND_SAME_ID detection
earlier, right after the previous frame is unwound, discarding the dup
frame if a cycle is detected.
The patch includes a new test that fails before the change. Before
the patch, the test causes an infinite loop in GDB, after the patch,
the UNWIND_SAME_ID logic kicks in and makes the backtrace stop with:
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
The test uses dwarf CFI to emulate a corrupted stack with a cycle. It
has a function with registers marked DW_CFA_same_value (most
importantly RSP/RIP), so that GDB computes the same ID for that frame
and its caller. IOW, something like this:
#0 - frame_id_1
#1 - frame_id_2
#2 - frame_id_3
#3 - frame_id_4
#4 - frame_id_4 <<<< outermost (UNWIND_SAME_ID).
(The test's code is just a copy of dw2-reg-undefined.S /
dw2-reg-undefined.c, adjusted to use DW_CFA_same_value instead of
DW_CFA_undefined, and to mark a different set of registers.)
The infinite loop is here, in value_fetch_lazy:
while (VALUE_LVAL (new_val) == lval_register && value_lazy (new_val))
{
frame = frame_find_by_id (VALUE_FRAME_ID (new_val));
...
new_val = get_frame_register_value (frame, regnum);
}
get_frame_register_value can return a lazy register value pointing to
the next frame. This means that the register wasn't clobbered by
FRAME; the debugger should therefore retrieve its value from the next
frame.
To be clear, get_frame_register_value unwinds the value in question
from the next frame:
struct value *
get_frame_register_value (struct frame_info *frame, int regnum)
{
return frame_unwind_register_value (frame->next, regnum);
^^^^^^^^^^^
}
In other words, if we get a lazy lval_register, it should have the
frame ID of the _next_ frame, never of FRAME.
At this point in value_fetch_lazy, the whole relevant chunk of the
stack up to frame #4 has already been unwound. The loop always
"unlazies" lval_registers in the "next/innermost" direction, not in
the "prev/unwind further/outermost" direction.
So say we're looking at frame #4. get_frame_register_value in frame
#4 can return a lazy register value of frame #3. So the next
iteration, frame_find_by_id tries to read the register from frame #3.
But, since frame #4 happens to have same id as frame #3,
frame_find_by_id returns frame #4 instead. Rinse, repeat, and we have
an infinite loop.
This is an old latent problem, exposed by the recent addition of the
frame stash. Before we had a stash, frame_find_by_id(frame_id_4)
would walk over all frames starting at the current frame, and would
always find #3 first. The stash happens to return #4 instead:
struct frame_info *
frame_find_by_id (struct frame_id id)
{
struct frame_info *frame, *prev_frame;
...
/* Try using the frame stash first. Finding it there removes the need
to perform the search by looping over all frames, which can be very
CPU-intensive if the number of frames is very high (the loop is O(n)
and get_prev_frame performs a series of checks that are relatively
expensive). This optimization is particularly useful when this function
is called from another function (such as value_fetch_lazy, case
VALUE_LVAL (val) == lval_register) which already loops over all frames,
making the overall behavior O(n^2). */
frame = frame_stash_find (id);
if (frame)
return frame;
for (frame = get_current_frame (); ; frame = prev_frame)

In the case where the GNAT runtime was built with full debugging info,
several of the exceptions defined there might have a name contain
the word "global". To make this less likely, this patch renames
the exception name, replacing "Global" by "Global_GDB". It still
keeps the exeption name relatively short, while it is unlikely that
the GNAT runtime has an exception whose name explicitly mentions GDB,
and even less likely that it contains "Global_GDB".

If the runtime has full debug info, then the non-standard exceptions

printed by GDB ("info exceptions" or "-info-ada-exceptions").

This patch fixes some spurious failures when the inferior is linked
against the shared version of libgnat by default, as appears to be
the case on many GNU/Linux distributions. When that happens, we have
to start the program in order to ensure that the GNAT runtime is
mapped to memory, in order for us to find the standard exceptions
(defined within the runtime). Otherwise, they will not be shown,
as expected, by the debugger.

This patch fixes PR c++/16117.
gdb has an extension so that users can use expressions like FILE::NAME
to choose a variable of the given name from the given file. The bug
is that this extension takes precedence over ordinary C++ expressions
of the same form. You might think this is merely hypothetical, but
now that C++ headers commonly do not use an extension, it is more
common.
This patch fixes the bug by making two related changes. First, it
changes gdb to prefer the ordinary C++ meaning of a symbol over the
extended meaning. Second, it arranges for single-quoting of the
symbol to indicate a preference for the extension.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.

Consider the following code, compiled at -O2 on ppc-linux:
procedure Increment (Val : in out Float; Msg : String);
The implementation does not really matter in this case). In our example,
this function is being called from a function with Param_1 set to 99.0.
Trying to break inside that function, and running until reaching that
breakpoint yields:
(gdb) b increment
Breakpoint 1 at 0x100014b4: file callee.adb, line 6.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/foo
Breakpoint 1, callee.increment (val=99.0, val@entry=0.0, msg=...)
at callee.adb:6
6 if Val > 200.0 then
The @entry value for parameter "val" is incorrect, it should be 99.0.
The associated call-site parameter DIE looks like this:
.uleb128 0xc # (DIE (0x115) DW_TAG_GNU_call_site_parameter)
.byte 0x2 # DW_AT_location
.byte 0x90 # DW_OP_regx
.uleb128 0x21
.byte 0x3 # DW_AT_GNU_call_site_value
.byte 0xf5 # DW_OP_GNU_regval_type
.uleb128 0x3f
.uleb128 0x25
The DW_AT_GNU_call_site_value uses a DW_OP_GNU_regval_type
operation, referencing register 0x3f=63, which is $f31,
an 8-byte floating register. In that register, the value is
stored using the usual 8-byte float format:
(gdb) info float
f31 99.0 (raw 0x4058c00000000000)
The current code evaluating DW_OP_GNU_regval_type operations
currently is (dwarf2expr.c:execute_stack_op):
result = (ctx->funcs->read_reg) (ctx->baton, reg);
result_val = value_from_ulongest (address_type, result);
result_val = value_from_contents (type,
value_contents_all (result_val));
What the ctx->funcs->read_reg function does is read the contents
of the register as if it contained an address. The rest of the code
continues that assumption, thinking it's OK to then use that to
create an address/ulongest struct value, which we then re-type
to the type specified by DW_OP_GNU_regval_type.
We're getting 0.0 above because the read_reg implementations
end up treating the contents of the FP register as an integral,
reading only 4 out of the 8 bytes. Being a big-endian target,
we read the high-order ones, which gives us zero.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new callback to
read the contents of a register as a given type, and then adjust
the handling of DW_OP_GNU_regval_type to use that new callback.

dw2-case-insensitive.exp: p fuNC_lang fails on arm. The problem occurs
when thumb mode code is generated. On ARM last bit of function pointer
value indicates whether the target function is an ARM (if 0) or Thumb
(if 1) routine. The PC address should refer to actual address in
either case. This patch adds new compile unit and function labels to
code which act as address ranges of compile unit and functions in
debug information. Therefore address ranges will have correct
addresses and not the ones with an incremented least significant bit.
This patch has been tested on x86_64 and arm machines.

Frontend sometimes need to evaluate expressions that are
language-specific. For instance, Eclipse uses the following
expression to determine the size of an address on the target:
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C,
this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get...
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context."
... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result.
The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C
before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as:
1. save current language
2. set language c
3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
4. Restore language
This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context
Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting
the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of
general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead.
This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar
new command option: --language LANG. Example of use:
-data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)"
^done,value="4"
