The "list" command allows specifying the name of variables as
argument, not just functions, so that users can type "list
a_global_variable".
That support is a broken when it comes to ambiguous locations though.
If there's more than one such global variable in the program, e.g.,
static globals in different compilation units, GDB ends up listing the
source of the first variable it finds, only.
linespec.c does find both symbol and minsym locations for all the
globals. The problem is that it ends up merging all the resulting
sals into one, because they all have address, zero. I.e., all sals
end up with sal.pc == 0, so maybe_add_address returns false for all
but the first.
The zero addresses appear because:
- in the minsyms case, linespec.c:minsym_found incorrectly treats all
minsyms as if they were function/text symbols. In list mode we can
end up with data symbols there, and we shouldn't be using
find_pc_sect_line on data symbols.
- in the debug symbols case, symbol_to_sal misses recording an address
(sal.pc) for non-block, non-label symbols.

This works like 'start' but it stops at the first instruction rather
than the first line in main(). This is useful if one wants to single

With the growing number of selftests, I think it would be useful to be
able to run only a subset of the tests. This patch associates a name to
each registered selftest. It then allows doing something like:
(gdb) maintenance selftest aarch64
Running self-tests.
Running selftest aarch64-analyze-prologue.
Running selftest aarch64-process-record.
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
or with gdbserver:
./gdbserver --selftest=aarch64
In both cases, only the tests that contain "aarch64" in their name are
ran. To help validate that the tests you want to run were actually ran,
it also prints a message with the test name before running each test.
Right now, all the arch-dependent tests are registered as a single test
of the selftests. To be able to filter those too, I made them
"first-class citizen" selftests. The selftest type is an interface,
with different implementations for "simple selftests" and "arch
selftests". The run_tests function simply iterates on that an invokes
operator() on each test.
I changed the tests data structure from a vector to a map, because
- it allows iterating in a stable (alphabetical) order
- it allows to easily verify if a test with a given name has been
registered, to avoid duplicates
There's also a new command "maintenance info selftests" that lists the
registered selftests.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/selftest.h (selftest): New struct/interface.

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

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

From what I understand, this function is not doing anything useful as of
today.
Here's the result of my archeological research:
- The field thread_info::gdb_id was added in
a06660f7 Use LWP IDs for thread IDs in gdbserver
There was problem when using a 32-bits gdb with a 64-bits gdbserver.
For some reason that I don't fully understand, the thread ids
exchanged between gdb and gdbserver could overflow a 32 bits data
type. My guess is that they were the thread address (e.g. the
0x7ffff7f20b40 in "Thread 0x7ffff7f20b40 (LWP 1058)" today). This
patch changed that so gdb/gdbserver would talk in terms of the OS
assigned numerical id (as shown in ps). It therefore added a way to
convert between this gdb_id (the numerical id) and the thread id (the
address).
- 95954743cb Implement the multiprocess extensions, and add linux
multiprocess supportNon-stop mode support.
This patch made gdbserver deal with threads using their numerical ids
and not the address-like id. Starting from there, the gdb_id <->
thread id conversion was not needed anymore, since the remote protocol
and gdbserver were using the same kind of ids again. The gdb_id field
in the thread_info structure was also unused starting there.
- d50171e4 Teach linux gdbserver to step-over-breakpoints.
This patch moved the thread_info structure around, and got rid of the
gdb_id field (which was unused).
Looking at the implementation of gdb_id_to_thread_id, it is not doing
anything useful. It is looking up a thread by ptid using
find_thread_ptid, which basically loops over all threads looking at
their entry.id field. If a thread with that ptid is found, it returns
its entry.id field. So it will always return the same thing as it input
(with the exception of if no thread exist with that ptid, then it will
return null_ptid).
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* inferiors.h (gdb_id_to_thread_id): Remove.
* inferiors.c (gdb_id_to_thread_id): Remove.
* server.c (process_serial_event): Adjust to gdb_id_to_thread_id
removal. Move pid declaration closer to where it's used.
The code required to handle the 'D' packet is non trivial, so move it
out to its own function.
The moved out code is identical, except for the call to strtol and some
breaks that became returns.
Tested manually, and by running gdb.base/*detach*.exp with
native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* server.c (handle_detach): New function.
(process_serial_event): Move code out, call handle_detach.
I find it very confusing to define the require_running in the middle of
the file, and re-define it to something else later in the middle of the

Christophe Lyon told me that GDB build failed on i386-linux with
--enable-64-bit-bfd=yes, so I audit the gdb/configure.tgt again. I

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

The problem is simply that GDB is finding a symbol named "mult" from
glibc's debug info:
(gdb) ptype mult

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

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

This patch changes one usage of VEC to std::vector. It is a relatively
straightforward 1:1 change. The implementations of
sym_probe_fns::sym_get_probes return a borrowed reference to their probe
vectors, meaning that the caller should not free it. In the new code, I
made them return a const reference to the vector.

Change extract_arg to return a std::string and fix up all the users.
I think string is mildly better than unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>, when
possible, because it provides a more robust API.
I changed the error messages emitted from find_location_by_number to
avoid either writing to a string or an extra allocation; this can be
changed but I thought that the new message was not any less clear.
You can see an example in the testsuite patch.

ChangeLog
2017-09-11 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* language.h (language_enum): Make argument const.
* language.c (language_enum): Make argument const.
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".

The last commit unfortunately was not enough to fix the build breakage
on AArch64. I made a mistake and did not test it alone on BuildBot,
but along with another patch that was responsible for fixing the
breakage.
The failure is:
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:640:0,
from build-gnulib-gdbserver/import/string.h:41,
from ../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbserver/../common/common-defs.h:56,

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

This patch fixes the build breakage that has been happening on AArch64
since September 5th. The breakage was introduced by the following
commit:

commit f7000548a2
Use VEC for target_desc.reg_defs
The build log for this commit can be seen here:
<https://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/Ubuntu-AArch64-native-gdbserver-m64/builds/2696/steps/compile%20gdb/logs/stdio>
And the underlying problem is that the code is not calling the new
function "allocate_target_description" to allocate the "struct
target_desc" using "new" instead of XNEW, which end up not properly
initializing the fields of the structure.
Regtested on BuildBot.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2017-09-10 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Use
"allocate_target_description" instead of "XNEW".
* linux-x86-low.c (initialize_low_arch): Likewise.
Recent changes made gdb_stderr a macro:
#define gdb_stderr (*current_ui_gdb_stderr_ptr ())
and current_ui_gdb_stderr_ptr return this:
¤t_ui->m_gdb_stderr
The problem is that this is undefined if current_ui is NULL, which can
happen early on during gdb start up.
If we run into an error during early gdb start up then we write the
error message to gdb_stderr. However, if we are too early during the
start up then current_ui is NULL, and using the gdb_stderr macro
triggers undefined behaviour.
We try to avoid this using a check 'gdb_stderr == NULL' which was fine
before the recent changes, but now, still triggers undefined behaviour.
A better check is instead 'current_ui == NULL' which is what I use in
this patch.
Triggering this failure is pretty hard, most of the really early errors
are only triggered if pretty basic things are not as expected, for
example, if the default signal handlers are not as expected. Seeing one
of these errors trigger usually means that someone working on gdb has
made an incorrect change. Still, the errors are present in gdb, and
should we ever trigger one it would be nice if gdb didn't crash.
For testing this change I've been applying this patch which adds an
unconditional error into a function called early during gdb start up.
Later in the same function is a real error call which, in some
circumstances could be triggered:

Remove code relevant for printing C/C++ Integer values in a

This does not change the output.
Printing the prefix "PTR TO -> (" resp. "REF TO ->(" ignored the active

Fortran types containing pointers. Fix by using "fprintfi_filtered" with the
current indentation level for outputting the prefix string. Add test case
ptr-indentation.

PR gdb/22010 concerns a regression I introduced with the scalar
printing changes. The bug is that this code in sizeof.exp:
set signof_byte [get_integer_valueof "'\\377'" -1]
can incorrectly compute sizeof_byte. One underlying problem here is
that gdb's C parser doesn't treat a char constant as an int (this is
PR 19973).
However, it seems good to have an immediate fix for the regression.
The simplest is to cast to an int here.

Since 2273f0ac95 ("change minsyms not to be relocated at
read-time"), printing TLS symbols of objfiles with a non-zero base
address, without debug info, fails.
E.g., with:
$ mv /usr/lib/debug /usr/lib/debug-x
to get debug info out of the way, we get:
$ echo 'int main(){}' | gcc -pthread -x c -
$ ./gdb -q -ex start -ex 'p (int) errno' ./a.out
Cannot access memory at address 0xffffef7c0698
instead of the expected:
$1 = 0
The regression is not visible with glibc debuginfo installed.
The problem is that we compute the address of TLS minsyms incorrectly.
To trigger the problem, it is important that the variable is in an
objfile with a non-zero base address. While glibc is a shared library
for 'errno', it's easier for the testcase to use PIE instead of a
shlib. For TLS variables in PT_EXEC the regression obviously does not
happen.

commit 23732b1e32
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Jun 27 16:22:08 2017 +0100
changed objfile_per_bfd_storage->storage_obstack
from 'struct obstack storage_obstack;'
to 'auto_obstack storage_obstack;'
So the obstack is auto allocated when the objfile_per_bfd_storage ctor is
manually called by get_objfile_bfd_data).
However, the ctor call was still followed by a manual call to
obstack_init (&storage->storage_obstack);
This results in a bunch of leaks detected by valgrind, such as:
==24665== 4,064 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 11,469 of 11,590

* objfiles.c (get_objfile_bfd_data): Remove useless obstack_init
call.
I noticed that the gdb.rust tests fail because the test suite passes
-fdiagnostics-color=never to rustc. This is not a recognized rustc
option, and the test suite already handles passing the appropriate
option to the Rust compiler.
This patch fixes the problem.
testsuite/ChangeLog
2017-09-05 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Don't use universal_compile_options
for rust.
Using follow-exec-mode "new" takes a different code path than "same", so
it's interesting to test this path in combination with a change in
architecture of the inferior. This test fails if you remove the
previous patch.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: Test with different
"follow-exec-mode" settings.
(do_test): New procedure.
As mentioned in the previous patch, we should avoid doing register reads
after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's
gdbarch. Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong
architecture. When a process does an exec with "follow-exec-mode new",
a new inferior is added by follow_exec. The gdbarch of that new
inferior is at first set to some default value, probably specific to the
gdb build (I get "i386" here), which may not be the right one. It is
updated later by the call to target_find_description. Before that
point, if we try to read the inferior's registers, we may not interpret
them correctly. This has been exposed by a failure in
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp after the previous patch, with:
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 312 bytes, got 816 bytes)
The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is
problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid
is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to
update stop_pc). The registers returned by gdbserver are the x86-64
ones, while we try to interpret them using the "i386" gdbarch.
Postponing the call to add_thread to until the target
description/gdbarch has been updated seems to fix the issue.
As to why this issue was uncovered by the previous patch: what I think
happened before that patch is that since we were updating stop_pc before
switching to the new inferior, we were filling the regcache associated
to the ptid (this worked fine as long as the architectures of the
previous and new process images were the same). The call to
switch_to_thread then worked, because the register read hit the
regcache. Now, it triggers a register read, while the gdbarch is not
set correctly, leading to the "reply is too long" error. If this is
right, it sounds wrong that we delete and re-add a thread with the same
ptid, and are able to access the registers from the deleted thread.
When we delete a thread, should we clear the regcache associated to that
ptid, so that the new thread starts with a fresh/empty regcache?
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (follow_exec): Call add_thread after
target_find_description.
When an inferior execs and changes architecture (e.g. 64 bits to 32
bits), the gdbarch associated to the inferior is updated by the
follow_exec call in handle_inferior_event_1. We should avoid doing any
register read before that point, because the registers sent by the
remote side will be those of the new architecture, but we would
interpret them using the old architecture. We do just that by setting
stop_pc during this window, which obviously requires reading the
registers. This results in gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp failing, GDB
outputting the following error:
Truncated register 50 in remote 'g' packet
This patch fixes that by postponing the setting of stop_pc to after
we've updated the inferior gdbarch.
This bug was hiding another problem, and as such introduces some
failures in gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp. The following patch takes care
of that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): When exec'ing, read
stop_pc after follow_exec.
... by adding the expected size, and the received size. I found this
useful when debugging gdbarch/remote issues, since it gives a hint of
what gdb expects and what the remote sent.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (process_g_packet): Update error message.
This patch fixes the build failure caused by 22916b0

* configure.tgt (gdb_target_obs): Add i386.o for x86_64-*
targets.
While working on the no-debug-info debugging improvements, I found
evaluate_subexp_standard's function call code unnecessarily long and
hard to navigate and debug. The use of goto doesn't help either.
This commit tries to improve things by factoring out the
function-call-related code to separate helper functions.
gdb/ChangeLog:

GDBserver now is able to generate target descriptions from features, so

Note that it should be i386/amd64-avx-avx512-linux.xml instead of

removes it anyway.

The code on creating i386-linux target descriptions are quite similar
between GDB and GDBserver, so this patch moves them into a shared file
arch/i386.c. I didn't name it as i386-linux.c, because I want to reuse it
to create other i386 non-linux target descriptions later.

GDBserver still uses pre-generated target descriptions in order to
reply to GDB's query on target description (see xml-builtin-generated.c
in GDBserver build directory). This patch teaches GDBserver to
create XML contents according to the target descriptions rather than
using pre-generated ones.
First, change target feature c files to pass the feature xml file
name to tdesc_create_feature, so that target description in GDBserver
can record them, and create XML contents from these features in
buffer, like
...
<xi:include href="$FEATURE1_XML_NAME"/>
<xi:include href="$FEATURE2_XML_NAME"/>
...
and send this buffer back to GDB.
Note that this patch reuses target_desc.xmltarget a little bit, which is
to hold the XML contents dynamically generated in tdesc_get_features_xml.
However, it is not xfree'ed in ~target_desc, because we can't tell it is
from xstrdup or a literal string. Since we don't delete target_desc,
there is no memory leak yet. After we change all target descriptions to
the new style, target_desc.xmltarget is from xstrdup, then, we can safely
xfree it in ~target_desc.

tdesc_i386_XXX_linux is used in many places in linux-x86-low.c and this
patch adds a new function i386_linux_read_description to return the right

the counterpart in GDB, and the following patch will share the duplicated

Nowadays, target_desc.reg_defs is a pointer points to a pre-generated
array, which is not flexible. This patch changes it from an array
to a VEC so that GDBserver can create target descriptions dynamically
later. Instead of using pre-generated array, the -generated.c calls
VEC_safe_push to add each register to vector.
Since target_desc.reg_defs is used in IPA, we need to build common/vec.c
for IPA too.

* regformats/regdat.sh: Update generated code.
regformats/regdat.sh generate some *-generated.c files when GDBserver
is built. Each .c file has some static variables, which are only used
within function init_registers_XXX, like this,
static struct reg regs_i386_linux[] = {
{ "eax", 0, 32 },
{ "ecx", 32, 32 },
...
};
static const char *expedite_regs_i386_linux[] = { "ebp", "esp", "eip", 0 };
static const char *xmltarget_i386_linux = "i386-linux.xml";
void
init_registers_i386_linux (void)
{
...
}
This patch moves these static variables' definitions to function
init_registers_XXX, so the generated files look like this,
void
init_registers_i386_linux (void)
{
static struct target_desc tdesc_i386_linux_s;
struct target_desc *result = &tdesc_i386_linux_s;
static struct reg regs_i386_linux[] = {
...
};
static const char *expedite_regs_i386_linux[] = { "ebp", "esp", "eip", 0 };
static const char *xmltarget_i386_linux = "i386-linux.xml";
...
}
We want GDBserver create target descriptions dynamically in each
init_registers_XXXX functions, so this patch moves all the related code
into function init_registers_XXXX, so that the following patch can easily
change function init_registers_XXXX to create target description
dynamically, rather than using current pre-generated array.

disappearing, because this patch, which I'm considering kind of part
of this series, makes the alias case Just Work:

* NEWS (Safer support for debugging with no debug info): New.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Variables) <Program Variables>: Document inspecting
no-debug-info variables.
(Symbols) <Examining the Symbol Table>: Document inspecting
no-debug-info types.
(Calling) <Calling functions with no debug info>: New subsection,
documenting calling no-debug-info functions.
(Non-debug DLL Symbols) <Working with Minimal Symbols>: Update.
Trying to print a function local static variable of a const-qualified
method still doesn't work after the previous fixes:
(gdb) p 'S::method() const'::static_var
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) p S::method() const::static_var
No symbol "static_var" in specified context.
The reason is that the expression parser/evaluator loses the "const",
and the above unquoted case is just like trying to print a variable of
the non-const overload, if it exists, even. As if the above unquoted
case had been written as:
(gdb) p S::method()::static_var
No symbol "static_var" in specified context.
We can see the problem without static vars in the picture. With:
struct S
{
void method ();
void method () const;
};
Compare:
(gdb) print 'S::method(void) const'
$1 = {void (const S * const)} 0x400606 <S::method() const>
(gdb) print S::method(void) const
$2 = {void (S * const)} 0x4005d8 <S::method()> # wrong method!
That's what we need to fix. If we fix that, the function local static
case starts working.
The grammar production for function/method types is this one:
exp: exp '(' parameter_typelist ')' const_or_volatile
This results in a TYPE_INSTANCE expression evaluator operator. For
the example above, we get something like this ("set debug expression 1"):
...
0 TYPE_INSTANCE 1 TypeInstance: Type @0x560fda958be0 (void)
5 OP_SCOPE Type @0x560fdaa544d8 (S) Field name: `method'
...
While evaluating TYPE_INSTANCE, we end up in
value_struct_elt_for_reference, trying to find the method named
"method" that has the prototype recorded in TYPE_INSTANCE. In this
case, TYPE_INSTANCE says that we're looking for a method that has
"(void)" as parameters (that's what "1 TypeInstance: Type
@0x560fda958be0 (void)" above means. The trouble is that nowhere in
this mechanism do we communicate to value_struct_elt_for_reference
that we're looking for the _const_ overload.
value_struct_elt_for_reference only compared parameters, and the
non-const "method()" overload has matching parameters, so it's
considered the right match...
Conveniently, the "const_or_volatile" production in the grammar
already records "const" and "volatile" info in the type stack. The
type stack is not used in this code path, but we can borrow the
information. The patch converts the info in the type stack to an
"instance flags" enum, and adds that as another element in
TYPE_INSTANCE operators. This type instance flags is then applied to
the temporary type that is passed to value_struct_elt_for_reference
for matching.
The other side of the problem is that methods in the debug info aren't
marked const/volatile, so with that in place, the matching never finds
const/volatile-qualified methods.
The problem is that in the DWARF, there's no indication at all whether
a method is const/volatile qualified... For example (c++filt applied
to the linkage name for convenience):
<2><d3>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<d4> DW_AT_external : 1
<d4> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x3df): method
<d8> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<d9> DW_AT_decl_line : 58
<da> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x5b2): S::method() const
<de> DW_AT_declaration : 1
<de> DW_AT_object_pointer: <0xe6>
<e2> DW_AT_sibling : <0xec>
I see the same with both GCC and Clang. The patch works around this
by extracting the cv qualification from the "const" and "volatile" in
the demangled name. This will need further tweaking for "&" and
"const &" overloads, but we don't support them in the parser yet,
anyway.
The TYPE_CONST changes were necessary otherwise the comparisons in valops.c:
if (TYPE_CONST (intype) != TYPE_FN_FIELD_CONST (f, j))
continue;
would fail, because when both TYPE_CONST() TYPE_FN_FIELD_CONST() were
true, their values were different.
BTW, I'm recording the const/volatile-ness of methods in the
TYPE_FN_FIELD info because #1 - I'm not sure it's kosher to change the
method's type directly (vs having to call make_cv_type to create a new
type), and #2 it's what stabsread.c does:
...
case 'A': /* Normal functions. */
new_sublist->fn_field.is_const = 0;
new_sublist->fn_field.is_volatile = 0;
(*pp)++;
break;
case 'B': /* `const' member functions. */
new_sublist->fn_field.is_const = 1;
new_sublist->fn_field.is_volatile = 0;
...
After all this, this finally all works:
print S::method(void) const
$1 = {void (const S * const)} 0x400606 <S::method() const>
(gdb) p S::method() const::static_var
$2 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}

While the previous commit made "p method()::static_var" (no
single-quotes) Just Work, if users (or frontends) try wrapping the
expression with quotes, they'll get:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
'S::method()::static_var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
even if we _do_ have debug info for that variable. That's better than
the bogus/confusing value what GDB would print before the
stop-assuming-int patch:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = 1
but I think it'd still be nice to make this case Just Work too.
In this case, due to the quoting, the C/C++ parser (c-exp.y)
interprets the whole expression/string as a single symbol name, and we
end up calling lookup_symbol on that name. There's no debug symbol
with that fully-qualified name, but since the compiler gives the
static variable a mangled linkage name exactly like the above, it
appears in the mininal symbols:
$ nm -A local-static | c++filt | grep static_var
local-static:0000000000601040 d S::method()::static_var
... and that's what GDB happens to find/print. This only happens in
C++, note, since for C the compiler uses different linkage names:
local-static-c:0000000000601040 d static_var.1848
So while (in C++, not C) function local static variables are given a
mangled name that demangles to the same syntax that GDB
documents/expects as the way to access function local statics, there's
no global symbol in the debug info with that name at all. The debug
info for a static local variable for a non-inline function looks like
this:
<1><2a1>: Abbrev Number: 19 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
...
<2><2f7>: Abbrev Number: 20 (DW_TAG_variable)
<2f8> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x4e9): static_var
<2fc> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<2fd> DW_AT_decl_line : 64
<2fe> DW_AT_type : <0x25>
<302> DW_AT_location : 9 byte block: 3 40 10 60 0 0 0 0 0 (DW_OP_addr: 601040)
and for an inline function, it looks like this (linkage name run
through c++filt for convenience):
<2><21b>: Abbrev Number: 16 (DW_TAG_variable)
<21c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x21a): static_var
<220> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<221> DW_AT_decl_line : 48
<222> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x200): S::inline_method()::static_var
<226> DW_AT_type : <0x25>
<22a> DW_AT_external : 1
<22a> DW_AT_location : 9 byte block: 3 a0 10 60 0 0 0 0 0 (DW_OP_addr: 6010a0)
(The inline case makes the variable external so that the linker can
merge the different inlined copies. It seems like GCC never outputs
the linkage name for non-extern globals.)
When we read the DWARF, we record the static_var variable as a regular
variable of the containing function's block. This makes stopping in
the function and printing the variable as usual. The variable just so
happens to have a memory address as location.
So one way to make "p 'S::method()::static_var'" work would be to
record _two_ copies of the symbols for these variables. One in the
function's scope/block, with "static_var" as name, as we currently do,
and another in the static or global blocks (depending on whether the
symbol is external), with a fully-qualified name. I wrote a prototype
patch for that, and it works. For the non-inline case above, since
the debug info doesn't point to the linkage same, that patch built the
physname of the static local variable as the concat of the physname of
the containing function, plus "::", plus the variable's name. We
could make that approach work for C too, though it kind of feels
awkward to record fake symbol names like that in C.
The other approach I tried is to change the C++ symbol lookup routines
instead. This is the approach this commit takes. We can already
lookup up symbol in namespaces and classes, so this feels like a good
fit, and was easy enough. The advantage is that this doesn't require
recording extra symbols.
The test in gdb.cp/m-static.exp that exposed the need for this is
removed, since the same functionality is now covered by
gdb.cp/local-static.exp.

This commit makes "print S::method()::static_var" actually find the
debug symbol for static_var. Currently, you get:
(gdb) print S::method()::static_var
A syntax error in expression, near `'.
Quoting the whole string would seemingly work before the previous
patch that made GDB stop assuming int for no-debug-info variables:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = 1
... except that's incorrect output, because:
(gdb) ptype 'S::method()::static_var'
type = <data variable, no debug info>
The way to make it work correctly currently is by quoting the
function/method part, like this:
(gdb) print 'S::method()'::static_var
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) ptype 'S::method()'::static_var
type = struct aggregate {
int i1;
int i2;
int i3;
}
At least after the "stop assuming int" patch, this is what we
now get:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
'S::method()::static_var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p (struct aggregate) 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
However, IMO, users shouldn't really have to care about any of this.
GDB should Just Work, without quoting, IMO.
So here's a patch that implements support for that in the C++ parser.
With this patch, you now get:
(gdb) p S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) ptype S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
type = struct aggregate {
int i1;
int i2;
int i3;
}

An earlier commit made GDB no longer assume no-debug-info functions
return int. This commit gives the same treatment to variables.
Currently, you can end misled by GDB over output like this:
(gdb) p var
$1 = -1
(gdb) p /x var
$2 = 0xffffffff
until you realize that GDB is assuming that the variable is an "int",
because:
(gdb) ptype var
type = <data variable, no debug info>
You may try to fix it by casting, but that doesn't really help:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
^^
That's incorrect output, because the variable was defined like this:
uint64_t var = 0x7fffffffffffffff;
^^
What happened is that with the cast, GDB did an int -> 'unsigned long
long' conversion instead of reinterpreting the variable as the cast-to
type. To get at the variable properly you have to reinterpret the
variable's address manually instead, with either:
(gdb) p /x *(unsigned long long *) &var
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
(gdb) p /x {unsigned long long} &var
$5 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
After this commit GDB does it for you. This is what you'll get
instead:
(gdb) p var
'var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$1 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
As in the functions patch, the "compile" machinery doesn't currently
have the cast-to type handy, so it continues assuming no-debug
variables have int type, though now at least it warns.
The change to gdb.cp/m-static.exp deserves an explanation:
- gdb_test "print 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
+ gdb_test "print (int) 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
That's printing the "sintvar" function local static of the
"gnu_obj_1::method()" method.
The problem with that test is that that "'S::method()::static_var'"
syntax doesn't really work in C++ as you'd expect. The way to make it
work correctly currently is to quote the method part, not the whole
expression, like:
(gdb) print 'gnu_obj_1::method()'::sintvar
If you wrap the whole expression in quotes, like in m-static.exp, what
really happens is that the parser considers the whole string as a
symbol name, but there's no debug symbol with that name. However,
local statics have linkage and are given a mangled name that demangles
to the same string as the full expression, so that's what GDB prints.
After this commit, and without the cast, the print in m-static.exp
would error out saying that the variable has unknown type:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
TBC, if currently (even before this series) you try to print any
function local static variable of type other than int, you'll get
bogus results. You can see that with m-static.cc as is, even.
Printing the "svar" local, which is a boolean (1 byte) still prints as
"int" (4 bytes):
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
$1 = 1
(gdb) ptype 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
type = <data variable, no debug info>
This probably prints some random bogus value on big endian machines.
If 'svar' was of some aggregate type (etc.) we'd still print it as
int, so the problem would have been more obvious... After this
commit, you'll get instead:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
... so at least GDB is no longer misleading. Making GDB find the real
local static debug symbol is the subject of the following patches. In
the end, it'll all "Just Work".

The patch to make GDB stop assuming functions return int left GDB with
an inconsistency. While with normal expression evaluation the
"unknown return type" error shows the name of the function that misses
debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which is handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")

^^^^^^^^
This commit builds on the new OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE to fix it, by making
OP_FUNCALL extract the function name from the symbol stored in
OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE. We now get the same error in "print"
vs "ptype":

* gdb.base/nodebug.exp: Test that ptype's error about functions

The previous patch left GDB with an inconsistency. While with normal
expression evaluation the "unknown return type" error shows the name
of the function that misses debug info:
(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")

^^^^^^^^
This commit is a step toward fixing it.
The problem is that while evaluating the expression above, we have no
reference to the minimal symbol where we could extract the name from.
This is because the resulting expression tree has no reference to the
minsym at all. During parsing, the type and address of the minsym are
extracted and an UNOP_MEMVAL / UNOP_MEMVAL_TLS operator is generated
(see write_exp_elt_msym). With "set debug expression", here's what
you see:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 UNOP_MEMVAL Type @0x565334a51930 (<text variable, no debug info>)
6 OP_LONG Type @0x565334a51c60 (__CORE_ADDR), value 140737345035648 (0x7ffff7751d80)
The "print" case finds the function name, because
call_function_by_hand looks up the function by address again.
However, for "ptype", we don't reach that code, because obviously we
don't really call the function.
Unlike minsym references, references to variables with debug info have
a pointer to the variable's symbol in the expression tree, with
OP_VAR_VALUE:
(gdb) ptype main()
...
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x0, symbol @0x559bbbd9b358 (main(int, char**))
...
so I don't see why do minsyms need to be different. So to prepare for
fixing the missing function name issue, this commit adds a new
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE operator that mimics OP_VAR_VALUE, except that it's
for minsyms instead of debug symbols. For infcalls, we now get
expressions like these:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE Objfile @0x1e41bf0, msymbol @0x7fffe599b000 (getenv)
In the following patch, we'll make OP_FUNCALL extract the function
name from the symbol stored in OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE.
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE will be used more in a later patch in the series
too.

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.

Calling a prototyped function via a function pointer with the right
prototype doesn't work correctly, if the called function requires
argument coercion... Like, e.g., with:
float mult (float f1, float f2) { return f1 * f2; }
(gdb) p mult (2, 3.5)
$1 = 7
(gdb) p ((float (*) (float, float)) mult) (2, 3.5)
$2 = 0
both calls should have returned the same, of course. The problem is
that GDB misses marking the type of the function pointer target as
prototyped...
Without the fix, the new test fails like this:
(gdb) p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)
$30 = 0
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/callfuncs.exp: p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)

For some reason I ended up staring at some of the "int flags" in
btrace-related code, and I got confused because I had no clue what the
flags where supposed to indicate.
Fix that by using enum_flags, so that:
#1 - it's clear from the type what the flags are about, and
#2 - the compiler can catch mismatching mistakes

I grepped the testsuite for loop_break and loop_continue and didn't find
anything, so I wrote some simple tests for those.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/commands.exp: Call the new procedures.
(loop_break_test, loop_continue_test): New procedures.
When using "if" (or while) without args directly on gdb's command line,
you get this:
(gdb) if
if/while commands require arguments
When doing the same when entering a command list, you only get an error
when the command is executed, when parse_exp_in_context_1 fails to
evaluate the expression.
(gdb) define foo
Type commands for definition of "foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>if
>end
>end
(gdb) foo
Argument required (expression to compute).
I think it would make more sense to error out when inputting the command
list directly:
(gdb) define foo
Type commands for definition of "foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>if
if/while commands require arguments.
The only required change is to check whether args is an empty string in
build_command_line.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-script.c (build_command_line): For if/while commands,
check whether args is empty.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/commands.exp: Call new procedure.
(define_if_without_arg_test): New procedure.
I think it would make more sense if the types and function declarations
related to command lines were in cli-script.h rather than defs.h, since
the related function definitions are in cli-script.c.
I had to add a few includes here and there. I also had to rename the
"lines" parameter of command_lines_deleter::operator(), because ncurses
has a "#define lines ..." that was interfering when cli-script.h is
included by some TUI source files that also include ncurses header files.

If you "make" from scratch in gdbserver/, you'll notice that make
deletes the files it considers as intermediary at the end:
$ make clean && make
...
rm i386-mmx-linux-generated.c x32-avx-avx512-linux-generated.c ...
Then, if you type make again, make will rebuild these files and rebuild
gdbserver. To avoid this, we can add the .SECONDARY special target. If
it has no pre-requisites, all intermediary files will be kept.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (.SECONDARY): Define target.
Instead, make symtab_and_line initialize its members itself. Many
symtab_and_line declarations are moved to where the object is
initialized at the same time both for clarity and to avoid double
initialization. A few functions, like e.g., find_frame_sal are
adjusted to return the sal using normal function return instead of an
output parameter likewise to avoid having to default-construct a sal
and then immediately have the object overwritten.

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.

An array_view is an abstraction that provides a non-owning view over a
sequence of contiguous objects.
A way to put it is that array_view is to std::vector (and std::array
and built-in arrays with rank==1) like std::string_view is to
std::string.
The main intent of array_view is to use it as function input parameter
type, making it possible to pass in any sequence of contiguous
objects, irrespective of whether the objects live on the stack or heap
and what actual container owns them. Implicit construction from the
element type is supported too, making it easy to call functions that
expect an array of elements when you only have one element (usually on
the stack). For example:
struct A { .... };
void function (gdb::array_view<A> as);
std::vector<A> std_vec = ...;
std::array<A, N> std_array = ...;
A array[] = {...};
A elem;
function (std_vec);
function (std_array);
function (array);
function (elem);
Views can be either mutable or const. A const view is simply created
by specifying a const T as array_view template parameter, in which
case operator[] of non-const array_view objects ends up returning
const references. (Making the array_view itself const is analogous to
making a pointer itself be const. I.e., disables re-seating the
view/pointer.) Normally functions will pass around array_views by
value.
Uses of gdb::array_view (other than the ones in the unit tests) will
be added in a follow up patch.
gdb/ChangeLog
2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* Makefile.in (SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_SRCS): Add
unittests/array-view-selftests.c.
(SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_OBS): Add array-view-selftests.o.
* common/array-view.h: New file.
* unittests/array-view-selftests.c: New file.
Currently, with "list LINESPEC1,LINESPEC2", if one of the linespecs is
ambiguous, i.e., if it expands to multiple locations, you get this
seemingly odd output:
(gdb) list foo,bar
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
Since "foo" above expands to multiple locations, the specified range
is indeterminate, and GDB is trying to be helpful by showing you what
was ambiguous. It looks confusing to me, though. I think it'd be
much more user friendly if GDB actually told you that, like this:
(gdb) list foo,bar
Specified first line 'foo' is ambiguous:
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
(gdb) list bar,foo
Specified last line 'foo' is ambiguous:
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
Note, I'm using "first" and "last" in the output because that's what
the manual uses:
~~~
list first,last
Print lines from first to last. [...]

Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* cli/cli-cmds.c (edit_command): Pass message to
ambiguous_line_spec.
(list_command): Pass message to ambiguous_line_spec. Say
"first"/"last" instead of "start" and "end" to be consistent with
the manual.
(ambiguous_line_spec): Add 'format' and vararg parameters. Use
them to print formatted message.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/list-ambiguous.exp: New file.
* gdb.base/list-ambiguous0.c: New file.
* gdb.base/list-ambiguous1.c: New file.
* gdb.base/list.exp (test_list_range): Adjust expected output.
Fix build regression introduced by 0860c437cb ("btrace: Store
btrace_insn in an std::vector"):
src/gdb/btrace.c: In function ‘void ftrace_add_pt(btrace_thread_info*, pt_insn_decoder*, int*, std::vector<unsigned int>&)’:
src/gdb/btrace.c:1329:38: error: invalid initialization of reference of type ‘const btrace_insn&’ from expression of type ‘btrace_insn*’
ftrace_update_insns (bfun, &btinsn);
^
src/gdb/btrace.c:648:1: note: in passing argument 2 of ‘void ftrace_update_insns(btrace_function*, const btrace_insn&)’
ftrace_update_insns (struct btrace_function *bfun, const btrace_insn &insn)
^
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* btrace.c (ftrace_add_pt): Pass btrace_insn to
ftrace_update_insns by reference instead of pointer.
This patch remove the usage of tdesc_i386_mmx in i386-go32-tdep.c, and use
i386_target_description to get it instead.
gdb:
2017-09-04 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* i386-go32-tdep.c: Include x86-xstate.h.
(i386_go32_init_abi): Call i386_target_description.
* i386-tdep.c (i386_target_description): Return tdesc_i386_mmx
if xcr0 is X86_XSTATE_X87_MASK.
* i386-tdep.h (tdesc_i386): Remove the declaration.
(tdesc_i386_mmx): Likewise.
i386fbsd_core_read_xcr0 reads the value of xcr0 from the corefile. If
it fails, returns 0. This makes its caller {i386,amd64}_target_description
has to handle this special value. IMO, i386fbsd_core_read_xcr0 should
return the default xcr0 in case of error.
gdb:
2017-09-04 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* i386-fbsd-tdep.c (i386fbsd_core_read_xcr0): Return
X86_XSTATE_SSE_MASK instead of 0.
GDB can call function i386_target_description to get the right target
description rather than tdesc_i386
gdb:
2017-09-04 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* amd64-fbsd-nat.c (amd64fbsd_read_description): Call
i386_target_description.
* i386-fbsd-nat.c (i386fbsd_read_description): Call
i386_target_description.
* i386-tdep.c (i386_gdbarch_init): Likewise.
This patch changes amd64-*-tdep.c files to use function
amd64_target_description to get the right target description rather than
use the variable tdesd_amd64.
gdb:
2017-09-04 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* amd64-darwin-tdep.c: Include "x86-xstate.h".
(x86_darwin_init_abi_64): Call amd64_target_description.
* amd64-dicos-tdep.c: Likewise.
* amd64-fbsd-nat.c: Likewise.
* amd64-fbsd-tdep.c: Likewise.
* amd64-nbsd-tdep.c: Likewise.
* amd64-obsd-tdep.c: Likewise.
* amd64-sol2-tdep.c: Likewise.
* amd64-windows-tdep.c: Likewise.
* amd64-tdep.h (tdesc_amd64): Remove the declaration.
Because it contains a non-POD type field (flags), the type btrace_insn
should be new'ed/delete'd. Replace the VEC (btrace_insn_s) in
btrace_function with an std::vector.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* btrace.h (btrace_insn_s, DEF_VEC_O (btrace_insn_s)): Remove.
(btrace_function) <insn>: Change type to use std::vector.

ftrace_find_call, ftrace_new_gap, ftrace_update_function,
ftrace_update_insns, ftrace_compute_global_level_offset,
btrace_stitch_bts, btrace_clear, btrace_insn_get,
btrace_insn_end, btrace_insn_next, btrace_insn_prev): Adjust to
change to std::vector.
(ftrace_update_insns): Adjust to change to std::vector, change
type of INSN parameter.
(btrace_compute_ftrace_bts): Adjust call to ftrace_update_insns.
* record-btrace.c (btrace_call_history_insn_range,
btrace_compute_src_line_range,
record_btrace_frame_prev_register): Adjust to change to
std::vector.
* python/py-record-btrace.c (recpy_bt_func_instructions): Adjust
to change to std::vector.
