NetBSD recently added PT_GETDBREGS and PT_SETDBREGS ptrace operations
that match the existing ones supported by x86-bsd-nat.c. NetBSD's
headers do not provide the DBREG_DRX helper macro, so define a local
version in x86-bsd-nat.c. In addition, add the x86-nat.o and x86-dregs.o
object files to the native NetBSD x86 build targets.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.nat: Add "x86-nat.o x86-dregs.o" for NetBSD/amd64 and
NetBSD/i386.
* x86-bsd-nat.c [!DBREG_DRX && __NetBSD__]: Define DBREG_DRX.
Recent versions of NetBSD hide certain kernel structures needed by the
KVM target from userland unless this macro is defined.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* bsd-kvm.o: Define _KMEMUSER.
* configure.ac: Define _KMEMUSER when checking for "struct lwp".
* configure: Regenerate.
Here's the documentation bits for all the improvements done in
previous commits.
Note that the original "weak alias functions" paragraph ends up
disappearing, because this patch, which I'm considering kind of part
of this series, makes the alias case Just Work:

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".

* 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")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
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.

* gdb.threads/siginfo-threads.exp: Likewise.
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.
gdb/ChangeLog:

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.

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. [...]

PR gdb/22046
* nat/linux-procfs.c (parse_proc_status_state): Fix PROC_STATE_STOPPED
detection.
This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

The problem of failing to build with arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-4.8 was
that type CORE_ADDR is of "unsigned long" on a 64-bit machine so it's
OK to use %lx but is of type "unsigned long long" on a 32 bit system.
Fixed the problem in three places - (1) use a temp variable of type
CORE_ADDR as argument 3 when calling target_auxv_search() then assign
its value to "blksize" and "nbits" in 2 calls; (2) redo
adi_normalize_address() using masks and xor operators to calculate
normalized address; (3) call paddress() to print CORE_ADDR in either
printf_filtered() or error(). Thank you, Pedro, for all your
suggestions.

FreeBSD/mips kernels were recently changed to include the floating
point implementation revision register in the floating point register
set exported in process cores and via ptrace() (r318067). This change
will first ship in FreeBSD 12.0 when it is eventually released. The
space used to hold FIR was previously reserved in 'struct fpreg' as a
zero-filled dummy for padding, so 'struct fpreg' has not changed in
size. Since FIR should be non-zero on all MIPS processors supported
by FreeBSD, ignore a value of 0 from 'struct fpreg' and only report
non-zero values as a valid FIR register.

Commit
Command names: make them case sensitive
3d7b173c29
made command name lookup case sensitive. However, define_command, used
when creating a user-defined command, converts the command name to
lowercase, assuming that the command name lookup works in a case
insensitive way. This causes user-defined commands with capital letters
in their name to only be callable with a lowercase version:
(gdb) define Foo
Type commands for definition of "Foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>print 1
>end
(gdb) Foo
Undefined command: "Foo". Try "help".
(gdb) foo
$1 = 1
This patch removes that conversion to lowercase, so that the user can
call the command with the same name they provided.

There is an assertion that is triggering when we start GDB and
instruct it to debug a remote inferior, but don't provide a local
binary, like:
./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory -ex "tar ext :1234" \
-ex "set remote exec-file /bin/ls" -ex r
In this case, when calling exec_file_locate_attach to locate the
inferior, GDB is incorrectly resetting the breakpoints without a
thread/inferior even running, which causes an assertion to be
triggered:
binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c:1609: internal-error: scoped_restore_current_thread::scoped_restore_current_thread(): Assertion `tp != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
This happens because add_current_inferior_and_thread (on remote.c) is
breaking an invariant: making inferior_ptid point to a non-existing
thread and then calling common code, which in this case is
breakpoint_re_set. The fix is to make sure that inferior_ptid points
to null_ptid if there is no thread present.
A testcase is provided. Regtested on buildbot.

GDB currently searches for compilers on /usr/bin/ARCH-OS-gcc and

As discussed in
How to use compile & execute function in GDB
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00026.html
GDB currently searches for compilers on /usr/bin/ARCH-OS-gcc and
chooses a match from there. However, it is not currently possible for
the user to display which compiler was selected. Up until now, GDB's
compiler interface was not up-to-date with GCC's one, which means that
it wasn't possible to obtain this information. This patch implements
the mechanisms necessary for that.

The M7 processor supports an Application Data Integrity (ADI) feature
that detects invalid data accesses. When software allocates data, it
chooses a 4-bit version number, sets the version in the upper 4 bits
of the 64-bit pointer to that data, and stores the 4-bit version in
every cacheline of the object. Hardware saves the latter in spare
bits in the cache and memory hierarchy. On each load and store, the
processor compares the upper 4 VA (virtual address) bits to the
cacheline's version. If there is a mismatch, the processor generates a
version mismatch trap which can be either precise or disrupting. The
trap is an error condition which the kernel delivers to the process as
a SIGSEGV signal.
The upper 4 bits of the VA represent a version and are not part of the
true address. The processor clears these bits and sign extends bit 59
to generate the true address.
Note that 32-bit applications cannot use ADI.
This patch adds ADI support in gdb which allows the user to examine
current version tags and assign new version tags in the program. It
also catches and reports precise or disrupting memory corruption
traps.

With the following C++ code:
int bar() { return 0;}
int bar(int) { return 0; }
GDB behaves as:
(gdb) list bar
file: "overload.cc", line number: 1
file: "overload.cc", line number: 2
It would be better for GDB to list the actual code around those two
locations, not just print the location. Like:
(gdb) list bar
file: "overload.cc", line number: 1
1 int bar() { return 0;}
2 int bar(int) { return 0; }
file: "overload.cc", line number: 2
1 int bar() { return 0;}
2 int bar(int) { return 0; }
That's what this this commit implements.

This patch improves GDB support for function aliases defined with
__attribute__ alias. For example, in the test added by this commit,
there is no reference to "func_alias" in the debug info at all, only
to "func"'s definition:
$ nm ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep " func"
00000000004005ae t func
00000000004005ae T func_alias
$ readelf -w ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep func -B 1 -A 8
<1><db>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<dc> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x111): func
<e0> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<e1> DW_AT_decl_line : 27
<e2> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<e2> DW_AT_type : <0xf8>
<e6> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4005ae
<ee> DW_AT_high_pc : 0xb
<f6> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<f8> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
So all GDB knows about "func_alias" is from the minsym (elf symbol):
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func_alias
type = int ()
(gdb) p func
$2 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func
type = struct S {
int field1;
int field2;
} *(void)
The result is that calling func_alias from the command line produces
incorrect results.
This is similar (though not exactly the same) to the glibc
errno/__errno_location/__GI___errno_location situation. On glibc,
errno is defined like this:
extern int *__errno_location (void);
#define errno (*__errno_location ())
with __GI___errno_location being an internal alias for
__errno_location. On my system's libc (F23), I do see debug info for
__errno_location, in the form of name vs linkage name:
<1><95a5>: Abbrev Number: 18 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<95a6> DW_AT_external : 1
<95a6> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2c26): __errno_location
<95aa> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<95ab> DW_AT_decl_line : 24
<95ac> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x2c21): __GI___errno_location
<95b0> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<95b0> DW_AT_type : <0x9206>
<95b4> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x20f40
<95bc> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x11
<95c4> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<95c6> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
however that doesn't matter in practice, because GDB doesn't record
demangled names anyway, and so we end up with the exact same situation
covered by the testcase.
So the fix is to make the expression parser find a debug symbol for
the same address as the just-found minsym, when a lookup by name
didn't find a debug symbol by name. We now get:
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) p __errno_location
$2 = {int *(void)} 0x7ffff6e92830 <__errno_location>
I've made the test exercise variable aliases too, for completeness.
Those already work correctly, because unlike for function aliases, GCC
emits debug information for variable aliases.
Tested on GNU/Linux.

Assuming int_t is a typedef to int:
typedef int int_t;
gdb currently loses this expression's typedef:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
$1 = 0
(gdb) whatis $1
type = int
or:
(gdb) whatis (int_t) 0
type = int
or, to get "whatis" out of the way:
(gdb) maint print type (int_t) 0
...
name 'int'
code 0x8 (TYPE_CODE_INT)
...
This prevents a type printer for "int_t" kicking in, with e.g.:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
From the manual, we can see that that "whatis (int_t) 0" command
invocation should have printed "type = int_t":
If @var{arg} is a variable or an expression, @code{whatis} prints its
literal type as it is used in the source code. If the type was
defined using a @code{typedef}, @code{whatis} will @emph{not} print
the data type underlying the @code{typedef}.
(...)
If @var{arg} is a type name that was defined using @code{typedef},
@code{whatis} @dfn{unrolls} only one level of that @code{typedef}.
That one-level stripping is currently done here, in
gdb/eval.c:evaluate_subexp_standard, handling OP_TYPE:
...
else if (noside == EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS)
{
struct type *type = exp->elts[pc + 1].type;
/* If this is a typedef, then find its immediate target. We
use check_typedef to resolve stubs, but we ignore its
result because we do not want to dig past all
typedefs. */
check_typedef (type);
if (TYPE_CODE (type) == TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF)
type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
return allocate_value (type);
}
However, this stripping is reachable in both:
#1 - (gdb) whatis (int_t)0 # ARG is an expression with a cast to
# typedef type.
#2 - (gdb) whatis int_t # ARG is a type name.
while only case #2 should strip the typedef. Removing that code from
evaluate_subexp_standard is part of the fix. Instead, we make the
"whatis" command implementation itself strip one level of typedefs
when the command argument is a type name.
We then run into another problem, also fixed by this commit:
value_cast always drops any typedefs of the destination type.
With all that fixed, "whatis (int_t) 0" now works as expected:
(gdb) whatis int_t
type = int
(gdb) whatis (int_t)0
type = int_t
value_cast has many different exit/convertion paths, for handling many
different kinds of casts/conversions, and most of them had to be
tweaked to construct the value of the right "to" type. The new tests
try to exercise most of it, by trying castin of many different
combinations of types. With:
$ make check TESTS="*/whatis-ptype*.exp */gnu_vector.exp */dfp-test.exp"
... due to combinatorial explosion, the testsuite results for the
tests above alone grow like:
- # of expected passes 246
+ # of expected passes 3811
You'll note that the tests exposed one GCC buglet, filed here:

This removes save_inferior_ptid, a cleanup function, in favor of
scoped_restore.
This also fixes a possible (it seems unlikely that it could happen in
practice) memory leak -- save_inferior_ptid should have used
make_cleanup_dtor, because it allocated memory.
I tested this on the buildbot. However, there are two caveats to
this. First, sometimes it seems I misread the results. Second, I
think this patch touches some platforms that can't be tested by the
buildbot. So, extra care seems warranted.

opcodes/arm-dis.c:print_insn may update disassemble_info.mach to
bfd_mach_arm_unknown unless USER_SPECIFIED_MACHINE_TYPE is marked.
When default_print_insn is called for the first time,
disassemble_info.mach is correctly set in GDB, but arm-dis.c:print_insn
sets it to bfd_mach_arm_unknown. Then, when default_print_insn is
called again (in a loop), it triggers the assert.
The patch fixes the assert by marking USER_SPECIFIED_MACHINE_TYPE so that
opcodes won't reset disassemble_info.mach.

This plugs a couple leaks introduced by commit fff8551cf5
("dwarf2read.c: Some C++fycation, use std::vector, std::unique_ptr").
The first problem is that nothing owns the temporary line_header that
handle_DW_AT_stmt_list creates in some cases. Before the commit
mentioned above, the temporary line_header case used to have:
make_cleanup (free_cu_line_header, cu);
and that cleanup was assumed to be run by process_die, after
handle_DW_AT_stmt_list returns and before child DIEs were processed.
The second problem is found in setup_type_unit_groups: that also used
to have a similar make_cleanup call, and ended up with a similar leak
after the commit mentioned above.
Fix both cases by recording in dwarf2_cu whether a line header is
owned by the cu/die, and have process_die explicitly free the
line_header if so, making use of a new RAII object that also replaces
the reset_die_in_process cleanup, while at it.
Thanks to Philippe Waroquiers for noticing the leak and pointing in
the right direction.

Currently, "layout asm" is not so useful as "layout src" with Single-Key mode:
you have to use multi-key commands like "ni" and "si" to do single-stepping.
This patch adds, in addition to "next" and "step" commands, corresponding
assembly-level ones - "nexti" and "stepi" - to Single-Key mode, with the
shortcuts of "o" (from "step Over") and "i" (from "Step Into") respectively.

I noticed this while looking at the reggroup intializations. It seems
for xtensa the "cpN" reggroup->name is getting assigned to the same text
pointer for each iteration of XTENSA_MAX_COPROCESSOR.

When I made commit 9a6c7d9c02, which
C++-fied gdb/common/environ.[ch], I mistakenly altered the behaviour
of the 'unset environment' command. This command, which should delete
all environment variables, is now resetting the list of variables to
the state they were when GDB was started.
This commit fixes this regression, and also adds a test on
gdb.base/environ.exp which really checks if 'unset environment'
worked.

Newer GCC versions yield colored diagnostic messages by default, which may
be useful when executing GDB interactively from a terminal. But when run
from a GDB test case, the compiler output is written into gdb.log, where
such escape sequences are usually more inhibiting than helpful to the
evaluation of test results. So this patch suppresses that.

PR gdb/21675 points out a few regressions in scalar printing.
One type of regression is due to not carrying over the old handling of
floating point printing -- where a format like "/d" causes a floating
point number to first be cast to a signed integer. This patch restores
this behavior.
The other regression is a longstanding bug in print_octal_chars: one of
the constants was wrong. This patch fixes the constant and adds static
asserts to help catch this sort of error.

I happened to notice that add_symbol_file_command leaks "sect_opts".
This patch fixes the leak by changing sect_opts to be a std::vector.
I had to change the logic in the loop a little bit. Previously, it
was incrementing section_index after completing an entry; but this
changes it to push a new entry when the name is seen.
I believe the argument parsing here is mildly incorrect, in that
nothing checks whether the -s option actually had any arguments.
Maybe gdb can crash if "-s NAME" is given without an argument. I
didn't try to fix this in this patch, but I do have another patch I
can send later that fixes it up.

The get_valueof procedure allows tests to conveniently make gdb evaluate
an expression an return the value as a string. However, it includes an
end-of-line character in its result. I stumbled on this when trying to
use that result as part of a regex further in a test.
You can see this for example by adding a puts in
gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.exp:get_members:
set members [get_valueof "" ${var} ""]
puts "<$members>"
The output is
<{a = 0, b = 1, c = 2}
>
This is because the regex in get_valueof is too greedy, the captured
portion matches anything up to the gdb_prompt, including the end of line
characters. This patch changes it to capture everything but end of line
characters.
The output of the puts becomes:
<{a = 0, b = 1, c = 2}>
I tested this by running gdb.dwarf2/implref-array.exp and
gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.exp, the two only current users of that
procedure.
