Use AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX to detect if the compiler supports C++11,
and if -std=xxx switches are necessary to enable C++11.
We need to tweak AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX a bit though. Pristine
upstream AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX appends -std=gnu++11 to CXX directly.
That doesn't work for us, because the top level Makefile passes CXX
down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever gdb/Makefile may set CXX
to. The result would be that a make invocation from the build/gdb/
directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a make
invocation at the top level would not.
So instead of having AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX set CXX directly, tweak it
to AC_SUBST a separate variable -- CXX_DIALECT -- and use '$(CXX)
(CXX_DIALECT)' to compile/link.
Confirmed that this enables C++11 starting with gcc 4.8, the first gcc
release with full C++11 support.
Also confirmed that configure errors out gracefully with older GCC
releases:

If we need to revert back to making C++11 optional, all that's
necessary is to change the "mandatory" to "optional" in configure.ac
and regenerate configure (both gdb and gdbserver).

All platforms on FreeBSD use a shared system call table, so use a
single XML file to describe the system calls available on each FreeBSD
platform.
Recent versions of FreeBSD include the identifier of the current
system call when reporting a system call entry or exit event in the
ptrace_lwpinfo structure obtained via PT_LWPINFO in fbsd_wait. As
such, FreeBSD native targets do not use the gdbarch method to fetch
the system call code. In addition, FreeBSD register sets fetched via
ptrace do not include an equivalent of 'orig_rax' (on amd64 for
example), so the system call code cannot be extracted from the
available registers during a system call exit. However, GDB assumes
that system call catch points are not supported if the gdbarch method
is not present. As a workaround, FreeBSD ABIs install a dummy gdbarch
method that throws an internal_error if it is ever invoked.

I wanted to unit test the Rust lexer, so I added a simple unit testing
command to gdb.
The intent is that self tests will only be compiled into gdb in
development mode. In release mode they simply won't exist. So, this
exposes $development to C code as GDB_SELF_TEST.
In development mode, test functions are registered with the self test
module. A test function is just a function that does some checks, and
throws an exception on failure.
Then this adds a new "maint selftest" command which invokes the test
functions, and a new dejagnu test case that invokes it.

Older versions of FreeBSD supported userland threading via a pure
user-space threading library (N threads scheduled on 1 process) and
a N:M model (N threads scheduled on M LWPs). However, modern FreeBSD
versions only support a M:M threading model where each user thread is
backed by a dedicated LWP. This thread target only supports this
threading model. It also uses ptrace to query and alter LWP state
directly rather than using libthread_db to simplify the implementation.
FreeBSD recently gained support for reporting LWP events (birth and death
of LWPs). GDB will use LWP events when present. For older systems it
fetches the list of LWPs in the to_update_thread_list target op to update
the list of threads on each stop.
This target supports scheduler locking by using ptrace to suspend
individual LWPs as necessary before resuming a process.

Multitarget builds currently fail when:
(1) simulator support is enabled (the main --target supports target sim)
(2) powerpc is included in the --enable-targets list
(3) powerpc is not the main/default target (--target)
This is because the powerpc sim provides a non-standard API function
sim_spr_register_name which gdb/rs6000-tdep.c utilizes. Since the sim
does not yet support multitarget, only the sim (if one exists) for the
main target is built. When that target isn't powerpc, this function
is not available leading to linking errors:
rs6000-tdep.c:(.text+0x1e34d): undefined reference to
`sim_spr_register_name'
Fix this by only using that API if the sim linked in is the powerpc
sim.

Since we now rely on PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE being available (added in
Linux 2.5.46), we're relying on NPTL.
This commit removes the support for older LinuxThreads, as well as the
workarounds for vendor 2.4 kernels with NPTL backported.
- Rely on tkill being available.
- Assume gdb doesn't get cancel signals.
- Remove code that checks the LinuxThreads restart and cancel signals
in the inferior.
- Assume that __WALL is available.
- Assume that non-leader threads report WIFEXITED.
- Thus, no longer need to send signal 0 to check whether threads are
still alive.
- Update comments throughout.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

Building in C++ mode issues ~40 warnings like this:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c: In function ‘int linux_handle_extended_wait(lwp_info*, int, int)’:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:2016:51: warning: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘__ptrace_request’ [-fpermissive]
ptrace (PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, pid, 0, &new_pid);
The issue is that in glibc, ptrace's first parameter is an enum.
That's not a problem if we pick the PTRACE_XXX requests from
sys/ptrace.h, as those will be values of the corresponding enum.
However, we have fallback definitions for PTRACE_XXX symbols when the
system headers miss them (such as PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG above), and those
are plain integer constants. E.g., nat/linux-ptrace.h:
#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
One idea would be to fix this by defining those fallbacks like:
-#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
+#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG ((enum __ptrace_request) 0x4201)
However, while glibc's ptrace uses enum __ptrace_request for first
parameter:
extern long int ptrace (enum __ptrace_request __request, ...) __THROW;
other libc's, like e.g., Android's bionic do not -- in that case, the
first parameter is int:
long ptrace(int request, pid_t pid, void * addr, void * data);
So the fix I came up is to make configure/ptrace.m4 also detect the
type of the ptrace's first parameter and defin PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1, as
already does the for parameters 3-4, and then simply wrap ptrace with
a macro that casts the first argument to the detected type. (I'm
leaving adding a nicer wrapper for when we drop building in C).
While this adds the wrapper, GNU/Linux files won't use it until the
next patch, which makes all native GNU/Linux files include
gdb_ptrace.h.

Converting GDB to be a C++ program, I stumbled on 'basename' issues,
like:
src/gdb/../include/ansidecl.h:169:64: error: new declaration ‘char* basename(const char*)’
/usr/include/string.h:597:26: error: ambiguates old declaration ‘const char* basename(const char*)’
which I believe led to this bit in gold's configure.ac:
dnl We have to check these in C, not C++, because autoconf generates
dnl tests which have no type information, and current glibc provides
dnl multiple declarations of functions like basename when compiling
dnl with C++.
AC_CHECK_DECLS([basename, ffs, asprintf, vasprintf, snprintf, vsnprintf, strverscmp])
These checks IIUC intend to generate all the HAVE_DECL_FOO symbols
that libiberty.h and ansidecl.h check.
GDB is missing these checks currently, which results in the conflict
shown above.
This adds an m4 file that both GDB and GDBserver's configury use to
pull in the autoconf checks that libiberty clients needs done in order
to use these libiberty.h/ansidecl.h.

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

The problem here is that if a thread other than gdb's main thread
gets a SIGCHLD (it's an asynchronous signal so the kernel will
essentially pick a random thread) then gdb will hang if it is
in sigsuspend when the SIGCHLD is delivered. The other thread
will see the signal and the sigsuspend won't "wake up".
Guile and libgc should be blocking SIGCHLD in their threads,
but we need to work with Guile 2.0 and libgc 7.4.
The problem first shows up in libgc 7.4 because it is the first
release that enables multiple marker threads by default.

and Guile has been using it for awhile.
* configure.ac: Add check for header gc/gc.h.
Add check for function setenv.
* configure: Regenerate.
* config.in: Regenerate.
* guile/guile.c (_initialize_guile): Add workaround for libgc 7.4.0.
This commit wraps calls to the demangler with a segmentation fault
handler. The first time a segmentation fault is caught a core file
is generated and the user is prompted to file a bug and offered the
choice to exit or to continue their GDB session. A maintainence
option is provided to allow the user to disable the crash handler
if required.

gdb already unconditionally includes stddef.h in many places.
I think there is no reason to check for its existence.
Also, Zack Weinberg's header file survey agrees:
http://hacks.owlfolio.org/header-survey/
This patch removes the configure check and the inclusion guards.
It also removes a redundant inclusion that I noticed in defs.h.

My grepping around showed that HAVE_MULTIPLE_PROC_FDS is only ever
mentioned in a comment in configure.ac. Since the macro is long dead,
let's remove the last mention.
2013-11-08 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* configure: Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Remove mentions of HAVE_MULTIPLE_PROC_FDS.
Now that the configury needed for the "common" and "target"
directories is in common.m4, some code in gdb's configure.ac is
redundant.
I ran this script after making an "ID" file using mkid:
sed -n 's/^.*\(HAVE_[A-Z0-9_]*\).*$/\1/p' config.in |
while read x; do
echo ===== $x
gid $x | egrep -v '^(testsuite|gnulib|common|target|gdbserver)/'
done
This finds all the spots using HAVE_ defines, and, more importantly,
makes it clear which defines aren't used in the main parts of gdb.
From this I came up with this patch to remove all the unused bits.
There are a few that are subtly used -- for example the configure
script sometimes checks internal configure cache variables, meaning
some checks cannot be removed.
2013-11-08 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* configure, config.in: Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Remove unused configury.
The removal of solib-sunos.c also removed the last user of various

This simplifies the .gdbinit filename selection logic.
We have a GDBINIT_FILENAME define that supposedly configurations would
override, but none do so. Instead, the only configuration that wants
a different file name instead of ".gdbinit", djgpp, does a strcpy over
the gdbinit global array. This means the array needs to be sized, and
the code that does that is doing the usual
'PATH_MAX/FILENAME_MAX/fallback constant/etc.' mess.
Instead of all that, it's much simpler to have configure specificy the
.gdbinit filename. As bonus, we can then make the "gdbinit" global
array const.

../../src/gdb/common/filestuff.c:38:24: fatal error: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory
There are no sockets on djgpp. This #ifdef's out the bits in the file
that use sockets, depending on whether winsock or sys/socket.h is
available.
As alternative approach, given ser-tcp.c, ser-pipe.c, etc. are split
into separate files, and which to use is selected by configure.ac:
dnl Figure out which of the many generic ser-*.c files the _host_ supports.
SER_HARDWIRE="ser-base.o ser-unix.o ser-pipe.o ser-tcp.o"
case ${host} in
*go32* ) SER_HARDWIRE=ser-go32.o ;;
*djgpp* ) SER_HARDWIRE=ser-go32.o ;;
*mingw32*) SER_HARDWIRE="ser-base.o ser-tcp.o ser-mingw.o" ;;
esac
AC_SUBST(SER_HARDWIRE)
... I considered splitting filestuff.c similarly. But I quickly gave
up on the idea, as it looked like a lot more complication over this
approach, for no real gain. Plus, there are uses of these functions
outside the ser*.c framework.
gdbserver's configure.ac is already checking for sys/socket.h.
