This adds two add_cmd overloads: one whose callback takes a const char *,
and one that doesn't accept a function at all. The no-function overload
was introduced to avoid ambiguity when NULL was passed as the function.
Long term the goal is for all commands to take const arguments, and
for the non-const variants to be removed entirely.

This renames a few functions -- skip_spaces_const,
skip_to_space_const, get_number_const, extract_arg_const -- to drop
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
fixes were applied by hand.

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.

The fact that GDB defaults to assuming that functions return int, when
it has no debug info for the function has been a recurring source of
user confusion. Recently this came up on the errno pretty printer
discussions. Shortly after, it came up again on IRC, with someone
wondering why does getenv() in GDB return a negative int:
(gdb) p getenv("PATH")
$1 = -6185
This question (with s/getenv/random-other-C-runtime-function) is a FAQ
on IRC.
The reason for the above is:
(gdb) p getenv
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x7ffff7751d80 <getenv>
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = int ()
... which means that GDB truncated the 64-bit pointer that is actually
returned from getent to 32-bit, and then sign-extended it:
(gdb) p /x -6185
$6 = 0xffffe7d7
The workaround is to cast the function to the right type, like:
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH")
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
IMO, we should do better than this.
I see the "assume-int" issue the same way I see printing bogus values
for optimized-out variables instead of "<optimized out>" -- I'd much
rather that the debugger tells me "I don't know" and tells me how to
fix it than showing me bogus misleading results, making me go around
tilting at windmills.
If GDB prints a signed integer when you're expecting a pointer or
aggregate, you at least have some sense that something is off, but
consider the case of the function actually returning a 64-bit integer.
For example, compile this without debug info:
unsigned long long
function ()
{
return 0x7fffffffffffffff;
}
Currently, with pristine GDB, you get:
(gdb) p function ()
$1 = -1 # incorrect
(gdb) p /x function ()
$2 = 0xffffffff # incorrect
maybe after spending a few hours debugging you suspect something is
wrong with that -1, and do:
(gdb) ptype function
type = int ()
and maybe, just maybe, you realize that the function actually returns
unsigned long long. And you try to fix it with:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
... which still produces the wrong result, because GDB simply applied
int to unsigned long long conversion. Meaning, it sign-extended the
integer that it extracted from the return of the function, to 64-bits.
and then maybe, after asking around on IRC, you realize you have to
cast the function to a pointer of the right type, and call that. It
won't be easy, but after a few missteps, you'll get to it:
..... (gdb) p /x ((unsigned long long(*) ()) function) ()
$666 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # finally! :-)
So to improve on the user experience, this patch does the following
(interrelated) things:
- makes no-debug-info functions no longer default to "int" as return
type. Instead, they're left with NULL/"<unknown return type>"
return type.
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = <unknown return type> ()
- makes calling a function with unknown return type an error.
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
- and then to make it easier to call the function, makes it possible
to _only_ cast the return of the function to the right type,
instead of having to cast the function to a function pointer:
(gdb) p (char *) getenv ("PATH") # now Just Works
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH") # continues working
$4 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
I.e., it makes GDB default the function's return type to the type
of the cast, and the function's parameters to the type of the
arguments passed down.
After this patch, here's what you'll get for the "unsigned long long"
example above:
(gdb) p function ()
'function' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # correct!
Note that while with "print" GDB shows the name of the function that
has the problem:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This will be fixed in the next patch.

Instead, make symtab_and_line initialize its members itself. Many

This replaces "struct symtabs_and_lines" with
std::vector<symtab_and_line> in most cases. This removes a number of
cleanups.
In some cases, the sals objects do not own the sals they point at.
Instead they point at some sal that lives on the stack. Typically
something like this:
struct symtab_and_line sal;
struct symtabs_and_lines sals;
// fill in sal
sals.nelts = 1;
sals.sals = &sal;
// use sals
Instead of switching those cases to std::vector too, such usages are
replaced by gdb::array_view<symtab_and_line> instead. This avoids
introducing heap allocations.

* python/py-param.c (compute_enum_values): Use gdb_argv.
This introduces gdb_argv, a class wrapping an "argv" pointer; that is,
a pointer to a NULL-terminated array of char*, where both the array
and each non-NULL element in the array are xmalloc'd.
This patch then changes most users of gdb_buildargv to use gdb_argv
instead.

This patch reworks the whole completion machinery, and prepares it
for later enhancements.
Adds a new "completion_tracker" class that is meant to hold everything
about the state of the current completion operation.
This class now has the responsibility of tracking the list of
completion matches, and checking whether the max completions limit has
been reached. You can look at this as this patch starting out by
C++fying the existing "completion_tracker" in symtab.c (it's just an
htab_t typedef currently), moving it to completer.h/c, and then making
it a class/generalizing/enhancing it.
Unlike with the current tracking, completion_tracker now checks
whether the limit has been reached on each completion match list
insertion. This both simplifies the max-completions handling code
(maybe_add_completion_enum is gone, for example), and is a
prerequisite for follow up patches.
The current completion_tracker is only used for symbol completions,
and the symbol code gets at the current instance via globals. This
patch cleans that up by adding a completion_tracker reference to the
signature of the completion functions, and passing the tracker around
everywhere necessary.
Then, the patch changes how the completion match list is handed over
to readline. Currently, we're using the rl_completion_entry_function
readline entry point, and the patch switches to
rl_attempted_completion_function. A following patch will want to let
GDB itself decide the common completion prefix between all matches
(what readline calls the "lowest common denominator"), instead of
having readline compute it, and that's not possible with the
rl_completion_entry_function entry point. Also,
rl_attempted_completion_function lets GDB hand over the match list to
readline as an array in one go instead of passing down matches one by
one, so from that angle it's a nicer entry point anyway.
Lastly, the patch catches exceptions around the readline entry points,
because we can't let C++ exceptions cross readline. We handle that in
the readline input entry point, but the completion entry point isn't
guarded, so GDB can abort if completion throws. E.g., in current
master:
(gdb) b -function "fun<tab>
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted (core dumped)
This patch fixes that. This will be exercised in the new tests added
later on in the series.

This patch cleans up "completer_handle_brkchars" callback handling:
- Renames the function typedef to better match its intent:
completer_ftype_void -> completer_handle_brkchars_ftype
- Factors out common code in complete_line_internal handling the
"handle_brkchars" callback to a separate function.
- Centralizes all the "completer method" to "handle_brkchars method"
mapping in a single function.

The gdb.python/py-unwind.exp test is crashing GDB / leaving core dumps
in the test dir, even though it all passes cleanly. The crash is not
visible in gdb.sum/gdb.log because it happens as side effect of the
"quit" command, while flushing the frame cache.
The problem is simply a typo in a 'for' loop's condition, introduced
by a recent change [4fa847d78e ("Remove MAX_REGISTER_SIZE from
py-unwind.c")], resulting in infinite loop / double-free.
The new test exposes the crash, like:

As discussed here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-04/msg00157.html
A gap is not an instruction and it should not pretend to be one.
gdb.Record.instruction_history is now a list of gdb.RecordInstruction and
gdb.RecordGap objects. This allows the user to deal with Gaps in the record
in a more sane way.
The user would always get the instruction_history and function_call_history
objects of the current thread, not the thread for which the gdb.Record object
was created.
The attached testcase fails without this patch and passes with the patch.
The test py-inferior.exp fails when using a debug build of Python 3.6. I don't
see it failing with my system's default Python, but it might be related to the
different memory allocation scheme used when doing a build with pydebug.
The issue is that we are missing a Py_INCREF in
inferior_to_inferior_object. The PyObject_New function initializes the
object with a refcount of 1. If we assume that this refcount
corresponds to the reference we are returning, then we are missing an
incref for the reference in the inferior data.
The counterpart for the incref that corresponds to the reference in the
inferior data is in py_free_inferior, in the form the gdbpy_ref instance.
Here's how I can get it to crash (with some debug output):
$ ./gdb -nx -ex "set debug python 1"
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) python infs = gdb.inferiors()
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 1
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 2
(gdb) remove-inferiors 2
py_free_inferior inf = 2
infpy_dealloc inf = <unknown>
(gdb) python infs = None
Fatal Python error: Objects/tupleobject.c:243 object at 0x7f9cf1a568d8 has negative ref count -1
Current thread 0x00007f9cf1b68780 (most recent call first):
File "<string>", line 1 in <module>
[1] 408 abort (core dumped) ./gdb -nx -ex "set debug python 1"
After having created the inferiors object, their refcount is 1 (which
comes from PyObject_New), but it should be two. The gdb inferior object
has a reference and the "infs" list has a reference.
When invoking remove-inferiors, py_free_inferior gets called. It does
the decref that corresponds to the reference that the gdb inferior
object kept. At this moment, the refcount drops to 0 and the object
gets deallocated, even though the "infs" list still has a reference.
When we set "infs" to None, Python tries to decref the already zero
refcount and the assert triggers.
With this patch, it looks better:
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) python infs = gdb.inferiors()
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 1
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 2
(gdb) remove-inferiors 2
py_free_inferior inf = 2

infpy_dealloc inf = <unknown>

-Wwrite-strings flags code like:
static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []".
We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this:
- static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
+ static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer

PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw,
const char *format,
char *keywords[], ...);
and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **". C++
is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **>
is fine. However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves,
this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here
with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a
single place.

Unfortunately, PyGetSetDef's 'name' and 'doc' members are 'char *'
instead of 'const char *', meaning that in order to list-initialize
PyGetSetDef arrays using string literals requires writing explicit
'char *' casts. For example:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
- { "address", valpy_get_address, NULL, "The address of the value.",
+ { (char *) "address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
+ (char *) "The address of the value.",
NULL },
- { "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
+ { (char *) "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
"out (i.e., not available).",
NULL },
- { "type", valpy_get_type, NULL, "Type of the value.", NULL },
- { "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
- "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
- { "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
+ { (char *) "type", valpy_get_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
from the inferior). A lazy value is fetched when needed, or when\n\
the \"fetch_lazy()\" method is called.", NULL },
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
We have ~20 such arrays, and I first wrote a patch that fixed all of
them like that... It's not pretty...
One way to make these a bit less ugly would be add a new macro that
hides the casts, like:
#define GDBPY_GSDEF(NAME, GET, SET, DOC, CLOSURE) \
{ (char *) NAME, GET, SET, (char *) DOC, CLOSURE }
and then use it like:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
GDBPY_GSDEF ("address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
"The address of the value.", NULL),
GDBPY_GSDEF ("is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
"Boolean telling whether the value is optimized ", NULL),
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
};
But since we have C++11, which gives us constexpr and list
initialization, I thought of a way that requires no changes where the
arrays are initialized:
We add a new type that extends PyGetSetDef (called gdb_PyGetSetDef),
and add constexpr constructors that accept const 'name' and 'doc', and
then list/aggregate initialization simply "calls" these matching
constructors instead.
I put "calls" in quotes, because given "constexpr", it's all done at
compile time, and there's no overhead either in binary size or at run
time. In fact, we get identical binaries, before/after this change.
Unlike the fixes that fix some old Python API to match the API of more
recent Python, this switches to using explicit "gdb_PyGetSetDef"
everywhere, just to be clear that we are using our own version of it.

When building against Python 2.7, -Wwrite-strings flags several cases
of passing a string literal to Python functions that expect a "char
*". This commit addresses the issue like we already handle several
other similar cases -- wrap the Python API with our own fixed
version that adds the necessary constification.

The patch "Fix memory leak in python.c:do_start_initialization"
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00407.html) introduced a
compilation error on some platforms:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python.c: In function bool do_start_initialization():
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python.c:1556:16: error: invalid conversion from const void* to void* [-fpermissive]
xfree (libdir);
^
This is fixed by removing the constness of libdir's data type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Remove 'const' from
data type of libdir.
When intializing Python the path to the python binary is build the
following way
progname = concat (ldirname (python_libdir), SLASH_STRING, "bin",
SLASH_STRING, "python", (char *) NULL);
This is problematic as both concat and ldirname allocate memory for the
string they return. Thus the memory allocated by ldirname cannot be
accessed afterwards causing a memory leak. Fix it by temporarily storing
libdir in a variable and xfree it after concat.
gdb/ChangeLog:
python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Fix memory leak.
Pick up missing bits from the patch merged in.

* python/lib/gdb/printer/bound_registers.py: Import sys.
This changes the return type of "gdb.BtraceInstruction.data ()" from
"memoryview" to "buffer" on Python 2.7 and below, similar to what
"gdb.Inferior.read_memory ()" does.
