This patch introduces a bit of infrastructure -- namely, a minimal
std::optional analogue called gdb::optional, and an RAII template
class that works like make_cleanup_ui_out_tuple_begin_end or
make_cleanup_ui_out_list_begin_end -- and then uses these in the
Python code. This removes a number of cleanups and generally
simplifies this code.
std::optional is only available in C++17. Normally I would have had
this code check __cplusplus, but my gcc apparently isn't new enough to
find <optional>, even with -std=c++1z; so, because I could not test
it, the patch does not do this.

Currently, the breakpoint documentation refers to some commands taking breakpoint
"ranges" as arguments. We discussed this with Pedro and concluded that it would
be more accurate to speak in terms of breakpoint "lists", whose elements can optionally
be ranges. I also fixed a couple of minor mistakes in the docs.

* breakpoint.c (_initialize_breakpoint): Update the help description
of the 'commands' command to indicate that it takes a list argument.

This commit removes interp::quiet_p / interp_quiet_p /
interp_set_quiet, because AFAICS, it doesn't really do anything.
interp_quiet is only ever checked inside interp_set nowadays:
if (!first_time && !interp_quiet_p (interp))
{
xsnprintf (buffer, sizeof (buffer),
"Switching to interpreter \"%.24s\".\n", interp->name);
current_uiout->text (buffer);
}
I did a bit of archaelogy, and found that back in 4a8f6654 (2003), it
was also called in another place, to decide whether to print the CLI
prompt.
AFAICS, that condition is always false today, making that if/then
block always dead code. If we remove that code, then there are no
interp_quiet_p uses left in the tree, so we can remove it all.
There are two paths that lead to interp_set calls:
#1 - When installing the top level interpreter. In this case,
FIRST_TIME is true.
#2 - In interpreter_exec_cmd. In this case, the interpreter is always
set quiet before interp_set is called.
Grepping a gdb.log of an x86_64 GNU/Linux run for "Switching to
interpreter" (before this patch) doesn't find any hits.
I suspect the intention of this message was to support something like
a "set interpreter ..." command that would change the interpreter
permanently. But there's no such command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23.

While looking into PR rust/21097, I found that ptype of a
single-element enum in Rust did not always format the result properly.
In particular, it would leave out the members of a tuple struct.
Further testing showed that it also did the wrong thing for ordinary
struct members as well.
This patch fixes these problems. I'm marking it as being associated
with the PR, since that is where the discovery was made; but this
doesn't actually fix that PR (which I think ultimately is due to a
Rust compiler bug).
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 25, using the system Rust
compiler. I'm checking this in.

- The interp->data field disappears, since we can put data in the
interpreter directly now. The "init" method remains in place, but
it now returns void.
- A few places check if the interpreter method is NULL before calling
it, and also check whether the method returns true/false. For some
of those methods, all current implementations always return true.
In those cases, this commit makes the C++-fied method return void
instead and cleans up the callers.

etc. Those appear because here:

{
public:
const bool verbose = false;
explicit gdb_disassembler_test (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
const gdb_byte *insn,
size_t len)
: gdb_disassembler (gdbarch,
(verbose ? gdb_stdout : &null_stream),
gdb_disassembler_test::read_memory),
specifically in this line:
(verbose ? gdb_stdout : &null_stream),
"verbose" has not been initialized yet, because the order of
initialization is base classes first, then members. I.e. "verbose" is
only initialized after the base constructor is called. Since the
gdb_disassembler_test object is created on the stack, "verbose" has
garbage at that point. If the gargage is non-zero, then we end up
with the gdb_disassembler_test's stream incorrectly pointing to
gdb_stdout.

* disasm-selftests.c (print_one_insn_test): Move the "verbose"
field out of gdb_disassembler_test and make it static.
This patch gets rid of this hack in mi_set_logging:
/* The tee created already is based on gdb_stdout, which for MI
is a console and so we end up in an infinite loop of console
writing to ui_file writing to console etc. So discard the
existing tee (it hasn't been used yet, and MI won't ever use
it), and create one based on raw_stdout instead. */
By pushing down responsibility for the tee creation to the
interpreter. I.e., pushing the CLI bits out of handle_redirections
down to the CLI interpreter's set_logging_proc method.
This fixes a few leaks that I spotted, and then confirmed with
"valgrind --leak-check=full":

One is fixed by transfering ownership of the log file to the tee. In
pseudo-patch, since the code was moved at the same time:
- out = new tee_file (curr_output, false, logfile.get (), false);
+ out = new tee_file (curr_output, false, logfile.get (), true);
The other is this bit in mi_set_logging:
else
{
+ delete mi->raw_stdout;
I tried to split the leak fixes to a smaller preparatory patch, but
that was difficult exactly because of the tee hack in
handle_redirections -> mi_set_logging.

This commit fixes a "-gdb-set logging redirect on" crash by not
handling "logging redirect on" on the fly.
Previous discussion here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-01/msg00467.html
Code for handling "logging redirect on" on the fly was added here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00202.html
Meanwhile, MI gained support for logging, but flipping redirect "on"
on the fly was not considered. The result is that this sequence of
commands crashes GDB:
-gdb-set logging on
-gdb-set logging redirect on
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The handling of redirect on the fly is not really a use case we need
to handle, IMO. Its inconsistent (other "set logging foo" commands
aren't handled on the fly), and complicates the code significantly.
Instead of complicating it further for MI, go back to the original
idea of warning, only:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00083.html

gdb_pretty_print_insn allocates and destroys a couple local buffers
each time it is called, which can be many times when disassembling a
region of memory. Avoid that overhead by adding a new class that
holds the buffers and making gdb_pretty_print_insn a method of that
class, so that the buffers can be reused across calls.

This patch starts from the desire to eliminate
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete, but then goes beyond. It makes ui_file &
friends a real C++ class hierarchy, and switches temporary
ui_file-like objects to stack-based allocation.
- mem_fileopen -> string_file
mem_fileopen is replaced with a new string_file class that is treated
as a value class created on the stack. This alone eliminates most
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete calls, and, simplifies code a whole lot
(diffstat shows around 1k loc dropped.)
string_file's internal buffer is a std::string, thus the "string" in
the name. This simplifies the implementation much, compared to
mem_fileopen, which managed growing its internal buffer manually.
- ui_file_as_string, ui_file_strdup, ui_file_obsavestring all gone
The new string_file class has a string() method that provides direct
writable access to the internal std::string buffer. This replaced
ui_file_as_string, which forced a copy of the same data the stream had
inside. With direct access via a writable reference, we can instead
move the string out of the string_stream, avoiding deep string
copying.
Related, ui_file_xstrdup calls are replaced with xstrdup'ping the
stream's string, and ui_file_obsavestring is replaced by
obstack_copy0.
With all those out of the way, getting rid of the weird ui_file_put
mechanism was possible.
- New ui_file::printf, ui_file::puts, etc. methods
These simplify / clarify client code. I considered splitting
client-code changes, like these, e.g.:
- stb = mem_fileopen ();
- fprintf_unfiltered (stb, "%s%s%s",
- _("The valid values are:\n"),
- regdesc,
- _("The default is \"std\"."));
+ string_file stb;
+ stb.printf ("%s%s%s",
+ _("The valid values are:\n"),
+ regdesc,
+ _("The default is \"std\"."));
In two steps, with the first step leaving fprintf_unfiltered (etc.)
calls in place, and only afterwards do a pass to change all those to
call stb.printf etc.. I didn't do that split, because (when I tried),
it turned out to be pointless make-work: the first pass would have to
touch the fprintf_unfiltered line anyway, to replace "stb" with
"&stb".
- gdb_fopen replaced with stack-based objects
This avoids the need for cleanups or unique_ptr's. I.e., this:
struct ui_file *file = gdb_fopen (filename, "w");
if (filename == NULL)
perror_with_name (filename);
cleanups = make_cleanup_ui_file_delete (file);
// use file.
do_cleanups (cleanups);
is replaced with this:
stdio_file file;
if (!file.open (filename, "w"))
perror_with_name (filename);
// use file.
- odd contorsions in null_file_write / null_file_fputs around when to
call to_fputs / to_write eliminated.
- Global null_stream object
A few places that were allocating a ui_file in order to print to
"nowhere" are adjusted to instead refer to a new 'null_stream' global
stream.
- TUI's tui_sfileopen eliminated. TUI's ui_file much simplified
The TUI's ui_file was serving a dual purpose. It supported being used
as string buffer, and supported being backed by a stdio FILE. The
string buffer part is gone, replaced by using of string_file. The
'FILE *' support is now much simplified, by making the TUI's ui_file
inherit from stdio_file.

ui_file_rewind is a ui_file method that only really works with mem
buffer files, and is a nop on other ui_file types. It'd be desirable
to eliminate it from the base ui_file interface, and move it to the
"mem_fileopen" subclass of ui_file instead. A following patch does
just that.
Unfortunately, there are a couple references to ui_file_rewind inside
gdb_disassembler::pretty_print_insn that were made harder to eliminate
with the recent addition of the gdb_disassembler wrapper.
Before the gdb_disassembler wrapper was added, in commit
e47ad6c0bd ("Refactor disassembly code"), gdb_pretty_print_insn
used to be passed a ui_file pointer as argument, and it was simple to
adjust that pointer be a "mem_fileopen" ui_file pointer instead, since
there's only one gdb_pretty_print_insn caller.
That commit made gdb_pretty_print_insn be a method of
gdb_disassembler, and removed the method's ui_file parameter at the
same time, replaced by referencing the gdb_disassembler's stream
instead. The trouble is that a gdb_disassembler can be instantiated
with a pointer any kind of ui_file. Casting the gdb_disassembler's
stream to a mem_fileopen ui_file inside
gdb_disassembler::pretty_print_insn in order to call the reset method
would be gross hack.
The fix here is to:
- make gdb_disassembler::pretty_print_insn a be free function again
instead of a method of gdb_disassembler. I.e., bring back
gdb_pretty_print_insn.
- but, don't add back the ui_file * parameter. Instead, move the
mem_fileopen allocation inside. That is a better interface, given
that the ui_file is only ever used as temporary scratch buffer as
an implementation detail of gdb_pretty_print_insn. The function's
real "where to send output" parameter is the ui_out pointer. (A
following patch will add back buffer reuse across invocations
differently).
- don't add back a disassemble_info pointer either. That used to be
necessary for this bit:
err = m_di.read_memory_func (pc, &data, 1, &m_di);
if (err != 0)
m_di.memory_error_func (err, pc, &m_di);
... but AFAIK, it's not really necessary. We can replace those
three lines with a call to read_code. This seems to fix a
regression even, because before commit d8b49cf0c8 ("Don't throw
exception in dis_asm_memory_error"), that memory_error_func call
would throw an error/exception, but now it only records the error
in the gdb_disassembler's m_err_memaddr field. (read_code throws
on error.)
With all these, gdb_pretty_print_insn is completely layered on top of
gdb_disassembler only using the latter's public API.

When a variable's location is expressed as DW_OP_implicit_value, but the
given value is longer than needed, which bytes should be used? GDB's
current logic was introduced with a patch from 2011 and uses the "least
significant" bytes:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-08/msg00123.html
Now consider a sub-value from such a location at a given offset, accessed
through DW_OP_implicit_pointer. Which bytes should be used for that? The
patch above *always* uses the last bytes on big-endian targets, ignoring
the offset.
E.g., given the code snippet
const char foo[] = "Hello, world!";
const char *a = &foo[0];
const char *b = &foo[7];
assume that `foo' is described as DW_OP_implicit_value and `a' and `b'
each as DW_OP_implicit_pointer into that value. Then with current GDB
`*a' and `*b' yield the same result -- the string's zero terminator.
This patch basically reverts the portion of the patch above that deals
with DW_OP_implicit_value. This fixes the offset handling and also goes
back to dropping the last instead of the first bytes on big-endian targets
if the implicit value is longer than needed. The latter aspect of the
change probably doesn't matter for actual programs, but simplifies the
logic.
The patch also cleans up the original code a bit and adds appropriate test
cases.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-op-stack-value.exp: Adjust expected result of
taking a 2-byte value out of a 4-byte DWARF implicit value on
big-endian targets.
* gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: Add more comments to existing
logic. Add test cases for DW_OP_implicit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full): For
DWARF_VALUE_LITERAL, no longer ignore the offset on big-endian
targets. And if the implicit value is longer than needed, extract
the first bytes instead of the "least significant" ones.
When recording is started for a running thread, GDB was able to start tracing
but then failed to read registers to insert the initial entry for the current
PC. We don't really need that initial entry if we don't know where exactly we
started recording. Skip that step to allow recording to be started while
threads are running.
If we do run into errors, we need to undo the tracing enable to not leak this
thread. The operation did not complete so our caller won't clean up this
thread.
For the BTRACE_FORMAT_PT btrace format, we don't need that initial entry since

When running a 32-bit ARM inferior with a 32-bit ARM GDB on a 64-bit
AArch64 host, only VFP registers (NT_ARM_VFP) are available. The FPA
registers (NT_PRFPREG) are not available so GDB must not request them, as
this will fail with -EINVAL. This is most noticeably exposed when running
"generate-core-file":
(gdb) generate-core-file myprog.core

The all-architectures-1.exp test case currently yields 66 FAILs on s390x,
because the "set architecture" command fails each time when attempting to
switch to "cris", "crisv32", or "cris:common_v10_v32". Actually, the
command would succeed if the endianness had been set to "little" before.
Instead, the test case sets the endianness to "auto", which results in
"big" on s390x.
So on x86_64:
(gdb) set endian auto
The target endianness is set automatically (currently little endian)
(gdb) set architecture cris
warning: A handler for the OS ABI "AIX" is not built into this configuration
of GDB. Attempting to continue with the default cris settings.
The target architecture is assumed to be cris
But on s390x:
(gdb) set endian auto
The target endianness is set automatically (currently big endian)
(gdb) set architecture cris
Architecture `cris' not recognized.
See also the test results for s390x and ppc64be:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2016-q4/msg05150.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2016-q4/msg05713.html
Indeed, cris_gdbarch_init in cris-tdep.c returns a failure unless the
user-specified endianness is "little". Other architectures usually ignore
the user-specified endianness and return a valid gdbarch anyhow, even if
they can not really cope with the given endianness.
This patch removes the check in cris-tdep.c and forces little-endian byte
order instead.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cris-tdep.c (cris_gdbarch_init): Remove check for
info.byte_order and force it to BFD_ENDIAN_LITTLE.
When loading a core without an executable like so:
$ gdb --core core
for example often the gdbarch won't contain the
iterate_over_regset_sections method. For example on ARM.
This will generate a call to get_core_register_section with a NULL regset
like at corelow.c:628
get_core_register_section (regcache, NULL, ".reg", 0, 0, "general-purpose", 1);
However a check for REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE in get_core_register_section
assumes that regset is != NULL thus leading to a crash with this backtrace:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x000000000065907b in get_core_register_section
(regcache=regcache@entry=0x2c26260, regset=regset@entry=0x0,
name=name@entry=0xdbf7b2 ".reg", min_size=min_size@entry=0,

#2 0x000000000076e5fb in target_fetch_registers
(regcache=regcache@entry=0x2c26260, regno=regno@entry=15)
at ../../gdb/target.c:3590
Note that commit: f962539ad2 ("Warn if core file register
section is larger than expected") introduced this issue.
Thus releases > 7.8.2 are affected.
Also, this would have been caught by gdb.base/corefile.exp but the
problem is that this triggers only if the core dump is missing some data
so that it's not recognized as a linux core dump, or it's not a linux core
dump and the core file register section is larger than expected.
So if you just create a core and read it on linux with ARM the osabi is
detected properly and iterate_over_regset_sections is present and so the
problem is not triggered.
Thus creating a linux test for this with a crafted core that meets the
problem requirements is non-trivial.
This patch fixes this crash by adding a check for regset existence before
running the condition.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* corelow.c (get_core_register_section): Check for regset
existence before checking for REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE.
Hi,
GDB calls some APIs from opcodes to do disassembly and provide some
call backs. This model makes troubles on C++ exception unwinding,
because GDB is a C++ program, and opcodes is still compiled as C.
As we can see, frame #10 and #12 are C++, while #frame 11 is C,
#10 0x0000000000544228 in memory_error (err=TARGET_XFER_E_IO, memaddr=<optimized out>) at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/corefile.c:237
#11 0x00000000006b0a54 in print_insn_aarch64 (pc=0, info=0xffffffffeeb0) at ../../binutils-gdb/opcodes/aarch64-dis.c:3185
#12 0x0000000000553590 in gdb_pretty_print_insn (gdbarch=gdbarch@entry=0xbbceb0, uiout=uiout@entry=0xbc73d0, di=di@entry=0xffffffffeeb0,
insn=0xffffffffed40, insn@entry=0xffffffffed90, flags=flags@entry=0,
C++ exception unwinder can't go across frame #11 unless it has
unwind table. However, C program on many architectures doesn't
have it in default. As a result, GDB aborts, which is described
in PR 20939.
This is not the first time we see this kind of problem. We've
had a commit 89525768cd
"Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH".
We can fix the disassembly bug in a similar way, this is the option one.
Since opcodes is built with gdb, we fix this problem in a different
way as we did for the same issue with readline. Instead of throwing
exception in dis_asm_memory_error, we record the failed memory
address, and throw exception when GDB returns from opcodes disassemblers.

I get the valid instruction of most gdbarch except ia64, mep, mips,

In order to achieve "do the unit test for every gdbarch", I add

This patch addes class gdb_disassembler, and refactor
code to use it. The gdb_disassembler object is saved
in disassember_info.application_data. However,
disassember_info.application_data is already used by
gdb for arm, mips spu, and scm-disasm. In arm and mips,
.application_data is gdbarch, but we can still get gdbarch
from gdb_disassember.
The use of application_data in spu is a little bit
complicated. It creates its own disassemble_info, and
save spu_dis_asm_data in .application_data. This will
overwrite the pointer to gdb_disassembler, so we need
to find another place to save spu_dis_asm_data. I
extend disassemble_info, and put "id" there.

Since the reference to the Inferior Python object is managed by
gdbpy_ref (RAII), we can return directly from the loop. It's just a
leftover from the cleanups era.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (find_thread_object): Return directly
from the loop. Remove "found" variable.
When the gdbpy_ref objects get destroyed, they call Py_DECREF to
decrement the reference counter of the python object they hold a
reference to. Any time we call into the Python API, we should be
holding the GIL. The gdbpy_enter object does that for us in an
RAII-fashion.
However, if gdbpy_enter is declared after a gdbpy_ref object in a
function, gdbpy_enter's destructor will be called (and the GIL will be
released) before gdbpy_ref's destructor is called. Therefore, we will
end up calling Py_DECREF without holding the GIL.
This became obvious with Python 3.6, where memory management functions
have asserts to make sure that the GIL is held. This was exposed by
tests py-as-string.exp, py-function.exp and py-xmethods. For example:
(gdb) p $_as_string(enum_valid)

New in v2:
- Define PyMem_RawMalloc as PyMem_Malloc for Python < 3.4 and use
PyMem_RawMalloc in the code.
Since Python 3.4, the callback installed in PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer
should return a value allocated with PyMem_RawMalloc instead of
PyMem_Malloc. The reason is that PyMem_Malloc must be called with the
Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) held, which is not the case in the
context where this function is called. PyMem_RawMalloc was introduced
for cases like this.
In Python 3.6, it looks like they added an assert to verify that
PyMem_Malloc was not called without the GIL. The consequence is that
typing anything in the python-interactive mode of gdb crashes the
process. The same behavior was observed with the official package on
Arch Linux as well as with a manual Python build on Ubuntu 14.04.
This is what is shown with a debug build of Python 3.6 (the error with a
non-debug build is far less clear):

The documentation is very clear about it [1] and it was also mentioned
in the "What's New In Python 3.4" page [2].

[2] https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.4.html#changes-in-the-c-api
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python-internal.h (PyMem_RawMalloc): Define for
Python < 3.4.
* python/py-gdb-readline.c (gdbpy_readline_wrapper): Use
PyMem_RawMalloc instead of PyMem_Malloc.
