A few places in the completion code look for a "(" to find a
function's parameter list, in order to strip it, because psymtabs (and
gdb index) don't include parameter info in the symbol names.
See compare_symbol_name and
default_collect_symbol_completion_matches_break_on.
This is too naive. Consider:
ns_overload2_test::([TAB]
We'd want to complete that to:
ns_overload2_test::(anonymous namespace)::struct_overload2_test
Or:
b (anonymous namespace)::[TAB]
That currently completes to:
b (anonymous namespace)
Which is obviously broken. This patch makes that work.
Also, the current compare_symbol_name hack means that while this
works:
"b function([TAB]" -> "b function()"
This does not:
"b function ([TAB]"
This patch fixes that. Whitespace "ignoring" now Just Works, i.e.,
assuming a symbol named "function(int, long)", this:
b function ( int , lon[TAB]
completes to:
b function ( int , long)
To address all of this, this patch builds on top of the rest of the
series, and pushes the responsibility of stripping parameters from a
lookup name to the new lookup_name_info object, where we can apply
per-language rules. Also note that we now only make a version of the
lookup name with parameters stripped out where it's actually required
to do that, in the psymtab and GDB index code.
For C++, the right way to strip parameters is with "cp_remove_params",
which uses a real parser (cp-name-parser.y) to split the name into a
component tree and then discards parameters.
The trouble for completion is that in that case we have an incomplete
name, like "foo::func(int" and thus cp_remove_params throws an error.
This patch sorts that by adding a cp_remove_params_if_any variant of
cp_remove_params that tries removing characters from the end of the
string until cp_remove_params works. So cp_remove_params_if_any
behaves like this:
With a complete name:
"foo::func(int)" => foo::func(int) # cp_remove_params_1 succeeds the first time.
With an incomplete name:
"foo::func(int" => NULL # cp_remove_params fails the first time.
"foo::func(in" => NULL # and again...
"foo::func(i" => NULL # and again...
"foo::func(" => NULL # and again...
"foo::func" => "foo::func" # success!
Note that even if this approach removes significant rightmost
characters, it's still OK, because this parameter stripping is only
necessary for psymtabs and gdb index, where we're determining whether
to expand a symbol table. Say cp_remove_params_if_any returned
"foo::" above for "foo::func(int". That'd cause us to expand more
symtabs than ideal (because we'd expand all symtabs with symbols that
start with "foo::", not just "foo::func"), but then when we actually
look for completion matches, we'd still use the original lookup name,
with parameter information ["foo::func(int"], and thus we'll return no
false positive to the user. Whether the stripping works as intended
and doesn't strip too much is thus covered by a unit test instead of a
testsuite test.
The "if_any" part of the name refers to the fact that while
cp_remove_params returns NULL if the input name has no parameters in
the first place, like:
"foo::func" => NULL # cp_remove_params
cp_remove_params_if_any still returns the function name:
"foo::func" => "foo::func" # cp_remove_params_if_any

As mentioned in the previous patch, .gdb_index name lookup got
significantly slower with the previous patch.
This patch addresses that, and in the process makes .gdb_index name
searching faster than what we had before the previous patch, even.
Using the same test:
$ cat script.cmd
set pagination off
set $count = 0
while $count < 400
complete b string_prin
printf "count = %d\n", $count
set $count = $count + 1
end
$ time gdb --batch -q ./gdb-with-index -ex "source script.cmd"
I got, before the previous patch (-O2, x86-64):
real 0m1.773s
user 0m1.737s
sys 0m0.040s
and after this patch:
real 0m1.361s
user 0m1.315s
sys 0m0.040s
The basic idea here is simple: instead of always iterating over all
the symbol names in the index, we build an accelerator/sorted name
table and binary search names in it.
Later in the series, we'll want to support wild matching for C++ too,
so this mechanism already considers that. For example, say that
you're looking up functions/methods named "func", no matter the
containing namespace/class. If we sorted the table by qualified name,
then we obviously wouldn't be able to find those symbols with a binary
search:
func
ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
ns1:🅱️:func
ns2::func
(function symbol names in .gdb_index have no parameter info, like psymbols)
To address that out, we put an entry for each name component in the
sorted table. something like this:
Table Entry Actual symbol
---------------------------------
func func
func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
b::func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
a:🅱️:func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
ns1:🅰️🅱️:func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
func ns1:🅱️:func
b::func ns1:🅱️:func
ns1:🅱️:func ns1:🅱️:func
func ns2::func
ns2::func ns2::func
Which sorted results in this:
Table Entry Actual symbol
---------------------------------
a:🅱️:func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
b::func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
b::func ns1:🅱️:func
func func
func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
func ns1:🅱️:func
func ns2::func
ns1:🅰️🅱️:func ns1:🅰️🅱️:func
ns1:🅱️:func ns1:🅱️:func
ns2::func ns2::func
And we can binary search this.
Note that a binary search approach works for both completion and
regular lookup, while a name hashing approach only works for normal
symbol looking, since obviously "fun" and "func" have different
hashes.
At first I was a bit wary of these tables potentially growing GDB's
memory significantly. But I did an experiment that convinced it's not
a worry at all. I hacked gdb to count the total number of entries in
all the tables, attached that gdb to my system/Fedora's Firefox
(Fedora's debug packages uses .gdb_index), did "set max-completions
unlimited", and then hit "b [TAB]" to cause everything to expand.
That resulted in 1351355 name_components. Each entry takes 8 bytes,
so that's 10810840 bytes (ignoring std::vector overhead), or ~10.3 MB.
That's IMO too small to worry about, given GDB was using over 7400MB
total at that point. I.e., we're talking about 0.1% increase.
dw2_expand_symtabs_matching unit tests covering this will be added in
a follow up patch.
If the size of this table turns out to be a concern, I have an idea to
reduce the size of the table further at the expense of a bit more code
-- the vast majority of the name offsets are either 0 or fit in
8-bits:
total name_component = 1351355, of which,
name_component::name_offset instances need 0 bits = 679531
name_component::name_offset instances need 8 bits = 669526
name_component::name_offset instances need 16 bits = 2298
name_component::name_offset instances need 32 bits = 0
name_component::idx instances need 0 bits = 51
name_component::idx instances need 8 bits = 8361
name_component::idx instances need 16 bits = 280329
name_component::idx instances need 32 bits = 1062614
so we could have separate tables for 0 name_offset, 8-bit name_offset
and 32-bit name_offset. That'd give us roughly:
679531 * 0 + 669526 * 1 + 2298 * 4 + 1062614 * 4 = 4929174, or ~4.7MB
with only 8-bit and 32-bit tables, that'd be:
1349057 * 1 + 2298 * 4 + 4 * 1351355 = 6763669 bytes, or ~6.5MB.
I don't think we need to bother though.
I also timed:
$ time gdb --batch -q -p `pidof firefox`
$ time gdb --batch -q -p `pidof firefox` -ex "b main"
$ time gdb --batch -q -p `pidof firefox` -ex "set max-completion unlimited" -ex "complete b "
and compared before previous patch vs this patch, and I didn't see a
significant difference, seemingly because time to read debug info
dominates. The "complete b " variant of the test takes ~2min
currently... (I have a follow up series that speeds that up
somewhat.)

Summary:
- This is preparation for supporting wild name matching on C++ too.
- This is also preparation for TAB-completion fixes.
- Makes symbol name matching (think strcmp_iw) be based on a per-language method.
- Merges completion and non-completion name comparison (think
language_ops::la_get_symbol_name_cmp generalized).
- Avoid re-hashing lookup name multiple times
- Centralizes preparing a name for lookup (Ada name encoding / C++ Demangling),
both completion and non-completion.
- Fixes Ada latent bug with verbatim name matches in expressions
- Makes ada-lang.c use common|symtab.c completion code a bit more.
Ada's wild matching basically means that
"(gdb) break foo"
will find all methods named "foo" in all packages. Translating to
C++, it's roughly the same as saying that "break klass::method" sets
breakpoints on all "klass::method" methods of all classes, no matter
the namespace. A following patch will teach GDB about fullname vs
wild matching for C++ too. This patch is preparatory work to get
there.
Another idea here is to do symbol name matching based on the symbol
language's algorithm. I.e., avoid dependency on current language set.
This allows for example doing
(gdb) b foo::bar< int > (<tab>
and having gdb name match the C++ symbols correctly even if the
current language is C or Assembly (or Rust, or Ada, or ...), which can
easily happen if you step into an Assembly/C runtime library frame.
By encapsulating all the information related to a lookup name in a
class, we can also cache hash computation for a given language in the
lookup name object, to avoid recomputing it over and over.
Similarly, because we don't really know upfront which languages the
lookup name will be matched against, for each language we store the
lookup name transformed into a search name. E.g., for C++, that means
demangling the name. But for Ada, it means encoding the name. This
actually forces us to centralize all the different lookup name
encoding in a central place, resulting in clearer code, IMO. See
e.g., the new ada_lookup_name_info class.
The lookup name -> symbol search name computation is also done only
once per language.
The old language->la_get_symbol_name_cmp / symbol_name_cmp_ftype are
generalized to work with both completion, and normal symbol look up.
At some point early on, I had separate completion vs non-completion
language vector entry points, but a single method ends up being better
IMO for simplifying things -- the more we merge the completion /
non-completion name lookup code paths, the less changes for bugs
causing completion vs normal lookup finding different symbols.
The ada-lex.l change is necessary because when doing
(gdb) p <UpperCase>
then the name that is passed to write_ write_var_or_type ->
ada_lookup_symbol_list misses the "<>", i.e., it's just "UpperCase",
and we end up doing a wild match against "UpperCase" lowercased by
ada_lookup_name_info's constructor. I.e., "uppercase" wouldn't ever
match "UpperCase", and the symbol lookup fails.
This wouldn't cause any regression in the testsuite, but I added a new
test that would pass before the patch and fail after, if it weren't
for that fix.
This is latent bug that happens to go unnoticed because that
particular path was inconsistent with the rest of Ada symbol lookup by
not lowercasing the lookup name.
Ada's symbol_completion_add is deleted, replaced by using common
code's completion_list_add_name. To make the latter work for Ada, we
needed to add a new output parameter, because Ada wants to return back
a custom completion candidates that are not the symbol name.
With this patch, minimal symbol demangled name hashing is made
consistent with regular symbol hashing. I.e., it now goes via the
language vector's search_name_hash method too, as I had suggested in a
previous patch.
dw2_expand_symtabs_matching / .gdb_index symbol names were a
challenge. The problem is that we have no way to telling what is the
language of each symbol name found in the index, until we expand the
corresponding full symbol, which is off course what we're trying to
avoid. Language information is simply not considered in the index
format... Since the symbol name hashing and comparison routines are
per-language, we now have a problem. The patch sorts this out by
matching each name against all languages. This is inneficient, and
indeed slows down completion several times. E.g., with:
$ cat script.cmd
set pagination off
set $count = 0
while $count < 400
complete b string_prin
printf "count = %d\n", $count
set $count = $count + 1
end
$ time gdb --batch -q ./gdb-with-index -ex "source script-string_printf.cmd"

Currently, we have a mess of symbol name hashing/comparison routines.
There's msymbol_hash for mangled names, and dict_hash and
msymbol_hash_iw for demangled names. Then there's strcmp_iw,
strcmp_iw_ordered and Ada's full_match/wild_match, which all have to
agree with the hashing routines. That's why dict_hash is really about
Ada names. From the inconsistency department, minimal symbol hashing
doesn't go via dict_hash, so Ada's wild matching can't ever work with
minimal symbols.
This patch starts fixing this, by doing two things:
#1 - adds a language vector method to let each language decide how to
compute a symbol name hash.
#2 - makes dictionaries know the language of the symbols they hold,
and then use the dictionaries language to decide which hashing
method to use.
For now, this is just scaffolding, since all languages install the
default method. The series will make C++ install its own hashing
method later on, and will add per-language symbol name comparison
routines too.
This patch was originally based on a patch that Keith wrote for the
libcc1/C++ WIP support.

The new options are:
+aes: Enables the AES instructions of Armv8-a,
enabled by default with +crypto.
+sha2: Enables the SHA1 and SHA2 instructions of Armv8-a,
enabled by default with +crypto.
These options have been turned on by default when +crypto
is used, as such no breakage is expected.
The reason for the split is because with the introduction of Armv8.4-a
the implementation of AES has explicitly been made independent of the
implementation of the other crypto extensions. Backporting the split does
not break any of the previous requirements and so is safe to do.

The "x", "list", and "show commands" commands have special repetition
behavior: repeating the command doesn't re-run it with the same
arguments
This is currently implemented by modifying the passed-in argument; but
that won't work properly with const arguments (and seems pretty
obscure besides).
This patch adds a new "set_repeat_arguments" function and changes the
relevant places to call it.

This fixes some EH failures for the medany code model in the g++ testsuite.
The problem is that the assembler is computing some values in the eh_frame
section as constants, that instead should have had relocs to be resolved by
the linker. This happens in output_cfi_insn in the DW_CFA_advance_loc case
where it compares label frags and immediately simplifies if they are the
same. We can fix that by forcing a new frag after every instruction
that the linker can reduce in size. I've also added a testcase to verify
the fix. This was tested with binutils make check, and gcc/g++ make checks on
qemu for medlow and medany code models.

... and also make GDB catch a few more cases of invalid input.
This fixes the inconsistency in GDB's output (e.g., "bad" vs "Bad")
exposed by the new tests added in the previous commit.
Also, makes the "0-0" and "inverted range" cases be loud errors.
Also makes GDB reject negative breakpoint number in ranges. We
already rejected negative number literals, but you could still subvert
that via convenience variables, like:
(gdb) set $bp -1
(gdb) disable $bp.1-2
The change to get_number_trailer fixes a bug exposed by the new tests.
The function did not handle parsing "-$num". [This wasn't visible in
the gdb.multi/tids.exp (which has similar tests) because the TID range
parsing is implemented differently.]

("bad numbers"): New set of tests.
This adds tests that exercise the "bad breakpoint number" paths.
Specifically:
- malformed ranges
- use of explicit 0 as bp/loc number.
- inverted ranges
I'm adding this as a baseline to improve. This shows that there's a
lot of inconsistency in GDB's output (e.g., "bad" vs "Bad").
Also, IMO, the "0-0" and inverted range cases should be loud errors.
That and more will all be addressed in the next patch.

* gdb.cp/ena-dis-br-range.exp: Add tests.
It's odd that when parsing a breakpoint or location number, we error out
in most cases, but warn in others.
(gdb) disable 1-
bad breakpoint number at or near: '1-'
(gdb) disable -1
bad breakpoint number at or near: '-1'
(gdb) disable .foo
bad breakpoint number at or near: '.foo'
(gdb) disable foo.1
Bad breakpoint number 'foo.1'
(gdb) disable 1.foo
warning: bad breakpoint number at or near '1.foo'
This changes GDB to always error out. It required touching one testcase
that expected the warning.

* gdb.base/ena-dis-br.exp: Don't expect "warning:".
When a breakpoint has multiple locations, like e.g.:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x080486a2 in void foo<int>()...
1.2 y 0x080486ca in void foo<double>()...
[....]
1.5 y 0x080487fa in void foo<long>()...
it's possible to enable/disable the individual locations using the
'<breakpoint_number>.<location_number>' syntax, like e.g.:
(gdb) disable 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
That's inconvenient when you have a long list of locations to disable,
however.
This patch adds shorthand for the above, by making it possible to
specify a range of locations with the following syntax (similar to
thread id ranges):
<breakpoint_number>.<first_location_number>-<last_location_number>
For example, the command above can now be simplified to:
(gdb) disable 1.2-5

binutils has lacked proper pluralization of output messages for a long

have different rules to English.
This patch defines macros for ngettext and friends to handle builds
with --disable-nls, and tidies the existing nls support. I've
redefined gettext rather than just defining "_" as dgettext in bfd and
opcodes in case someone wants to use gettext there (which might
conceivably happen with generated code).

The comment about Lynx in child_terminal_init reads a bit odd, since
it's not exactly clear what "This" in "This is for Lynx" is referring
to. Looking back in history makes it clearer. When the comment was
originally added, in commit 91ecc8efa9, back in 1994, the code
looked like this:
~~~
#ifdef PROCESS_GROUP_TYPE
#ifdef PIDGET
/* This is for Lynx, and should be cleaned up by having Lynx be
a separate debugging target with a version of
target_terminal_init_inferior which passes in the process
group to a generic routine which does all the work (and the
non-threaded child_terminal_init_inferior can just pass in
inferior_pid to the same routine). */
inferior_process_group = PIDGET (inferior_pid);
#else
inferior_process_group = inferior_pid;
#endif
#endif
~~~
So this looked like it was about when GDB was growing support for
multi-threading, and inferior_pid was still a single int for most
ports.
Eventually we got ptid_t, so the comment isn't really useful today.
Particularly more so since we no longer support Lynx as a GDB host.
The only caller left of child_terminal_init_with_pgrp is gnu-nat.c
(the Hurd), and that target uses fork-child, so when we reach
gnu_terminal_init after spawning a new child, the current inferior
must already have the PID set, and the child must be a process group
leader.
We can't add a 'getpgid(inf->pid) == inf->pid' assertion to
child_terminal_init though (like a previous version of this patch was
doing [1]), because child_terminal_init is also reached after
attaching to a process. If we did, the new
gdb.base/attach-non-pgrp-leader.exp test would fail, with:
(gdb) attach 12415
Attaching to program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/attach-non-pgrp-leader/attach-non-pgrp-leader, process 12415
src/gdb/inflow.c:180: internal-error: void child_terminal_init(target_ops*): Assertion `getpgid (inf->pid) == inf->pid' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.base/attach-non-pgrp-leader.exp: child: attach to child (GDB internal error)
I'm not making GDB save the pgid for attached processes with getpgid
for now, because the saved process group affects other things which
I'm leaving for following patches, like e.g., the "interrupt" command.

The patch at

group leader.

new testcase that would catch it, like:

Made whatever signal indicates a stop configurable (via macro
STOP_SIGNAL).
(main): Setup use of above as a signal handler. Added check for
"-nw" in args already processed.
(command_line_input): SIGTSTP ==>STOP_SIGNAL.
~~~
Support for Convex Unix is long gone, and nothing else overrides
STOP_SIGNAL. So just use SIGTSTP directly, removing a little
obfuscation.
(I don't really understand why we override [1] readline's SIGTSTP
handler (only) when reading scripts (and then fail to restore it
properly, assuming SIG_DFL...), but I'll leave that for another pass.
[1] - Actually, starting with readline 6.3, readline is no longer
installing its handlers while GDB is in control...)
gdb/ChangeLog:

(handle_stop_sig): Rename to ...
(handle_sigtstp): ... this.
(async_stop_sig): Rename to ...
(async_sigtstp_handler): ... this, and delete STOP_SIGNAL !=
SIGTSTP path.
* event-top.h: Move signal.h include to the top. Check SIGTSTP
instead of STOP_SIGNAL thoughout.
(handle_stop_sig): Rename to ...
(handle_sigtstp): ... this.
* top.c (command_line_input): Replace STOP_SIGNAL -> SIGTSTP.
I find this odd 'set flags twice' ancient code and comment annoyingly
distracting. It may well be that the reason for the double-set was
simply a copy/paste mistake, and that we've been doing this for
decades [1] for no good reason. Let's just get rid of it, and if we
find a real reason, add it back with a comment explaining why it's
necessary.
[1] This double-set was already in gdb 2.4 / 1988, the oldest release
we have sources for, and imported in git. From 'git show 7b4ac7e1ed
inflow.c':
+void
+terminal_inferior ()
+{
+ if (terminal_is_ours) /* && inferior_thisrun_terminal == 0) */
+ {
+ fcntl (0, F_SETFL, tflags_inferior);
+ fcntl (0, F_SETFL, tflags_inferior);
The "is there a reason" comment was added in 1993, by:

* inflow.c (child_terminal_inferior, child_terminal_ours_1): No
longer set flags twice in row.
This commit garbage collects the termio and sgtty support.
GDB's terminal handling code still has support for the old termio and
sgtty interfaces in addition to termios. However, I think it's pretty
safe to assume that for a long, long time, Unix-like systems provide
termios. GNU/Linux, Solaris, Cygwin, AIX, DJGPP, macOS and the BSDs
all have had termios.h for many years. Looking around the web, I
found discussions about FreeBSD folks trying to get rid of old sgtty.h
a decade ago:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2007-March/019983.html
So I think support for termio and sgtty in GDB is just dead code that
is never compiled anywhere and is just getting in the way. For
example, serial_noflush_set_tty_state and the raw<->cooked concerns
mentioned in inflow.c only exist because of sgtty (see
hardwire_noflush_set_tty_state).
Regtested on GNU/Linux.
Confirmed that I can still build Solaris, DJGPP and AIX GDB and that
the resulting GDBs still include the termios.h-guarded code.
Confirmed mingw-w64 GDB still builds and skips the termios.h-guarded
code.

Now that all target FP operations are performed via target-float.c,
this file remains the sole caller of functions in doublest.c and dfp.c.
Therefore, this patch merges the latter files into the former and
makes all their function static there.
