I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h:
/* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64
or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for
ptrace. Provide one to silence compiler warnings. */
#ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace();
#endif
I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed. First, the
comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had
never even heard of).
But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis
declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C. So if this
declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call
sites pass some arguments. Since we haven't heard anything about this
causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I
conclude that it's not used.
This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ptrace.m4: Don't check for ptrace declaration.

The same is done for gdb, gdbserver and gdbsupport. I therefore think
it makes sense to move that to GDB_AC_COMMON.
It is required to move the call to GDB_AC_COMMON so it is before
GDB_AC_SELFTEST in gdbserver/configure.ac, otherwise the $development
variable isn't set when the code behind GDB_AC_SELFTEST executes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Don't source bfd/development.sh.
* selftest.m4: Modify comment.
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Don't source bfd/development.sh, move
GDB_AC_COMMON higher.
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Don't source bfd/development.sh.
* common.m4: Source bfd/development.sh.
* configure: Re-generate.
Before commit 3d1e5a43cb ("gdbsupport/configure.ac: source
development.sh"), the GDB build in non-development mode (turn
development to false in bfd/development.sh if you want to try) was
broken because the gdbsupport configure script didn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable.
Since the GDB_AC_SELFTEST macro relies on the `development` variable, I
propose to modify it such that it errors out if $development does not
have an expected value of "true" or "false". This could prevent a
future similar problem from happening while refactoring the configure
scripts. It would have caught the problem fixed by the patch mentioned
earlier.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* selftest.m4 (GDB_AC_SELFTEST): Error out if $development is
not "true" or "false".
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
While compiling with clang, I noticed it didn't catch cases where my
function declaration didn't match my function definition. This is
normally caught by gcc with -Wmissing-declarations.
On clang, this is caught by -Wmissing-prototypes instead.
Note that on gcc, -Wmissing-prototypes also exists, but is only valid
for C and Objective-C. It gets correctly rejected by the configure
script since gcc rejects it with:
cc1plus: error: command line option '-Wmissing-prototypes' is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ -Werror
So this warning flag ends up not used for gcc (which is what we want).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
* warning.m4: Enable -Wmissing-prototypes.
[Commit message by Simon Marchi]
The GDB build in non-development mode (turn development to false in
bfd/development.sh if you want to try) is currently broken:

/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/selftest.cc:96: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::reset()'
This is because the gdbsupport configure script doesn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable. When $development
is unset, GDB_AC_SELFTEST defaults to enabling selftests. I don't think
the macro was written with this intention in mind, it just happens to be
that way.
So gdbsupport thinks selftests are enabled, while gdb thinks they are
disabled. gdbsupport compiles in code that calls selftests:: functions,
which are normally provided by gdb, but gdb doesn't provide them, hence
the undefined references.
Fix this by sourcing bfd/development.sh in gdbsupport/configure.ac, so
that the development variable is set.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Added call development.sh.
* configure: Regenerate.
GCC's config/ChangeLog since the last time this merge was done
(in the binutils-gdb commit 0b4d000cc4) is included at the
end of this commit message.
It is worth noting that the binutils-gdb commit 301a9420d9
added the file config/debuginfod.m4 which is not present in GCC's
config/ directory. This file is preserved, unmodified, after this
commit.
In order to regenerate all of the configure files, I configured with
--enable-maintainer-mode, and built the 'all' target. I then did the
same thing on a source tree without this patch, and only committed
those files that changed when this patch was added.

I'm seeing this on F27 (a clean build from scratch):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdbsupport'
CC gdb_tilde_expand.o
In file included from /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/src/gdbsupport/../gnulib/import/libc-config.h:33:0,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
libc-config.h, where it includes config.h, says:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/* This is intended to be a good-enough substitute for glibc system
macros like those defined in <sys/cdefs.h>, so that Gnulib code
shared with glibc can do this as the first #include:
#ifndef _LIBC
# include <libc-config.h>
#endif
When compiled as part of glibc this is a no-op; when compiled as
part of Gnulib this includes Gnulib's <config.h> and defines macros
that glibc library code would normally assume. */
#include <config.h>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The issue is that that '#include <config.h>' picks up bfd's config.h
instead of gnulib's.
This problem doesn't trigger in the gdb dir because there we generate
config.h under that exact name so gnulib's libc-config.h ends up
picking gdb's config.h instead of gnulib.c and that ends up harmless.
In gdbsupport, the config.h file is really named support-config.h, so
that '#include <config.h>' in libc-config.h doesn't pick it like it
would if it had the conventional config.h name.
This patch fixes it by simply renaming gdbserver's support-config.h to
config.h.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
2020-01-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* configure.ac: Generate config.h instead of support-config.h.
* common-defs.h: Include <gdbsupport/config.h> instead of
<gdbsupport/support-config.h>.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
This moves many needed configure checks from gdb and gdbserver into
common.m4. This helps gdbsupport, nat, and target be self-contained.
The result is a bit spaghetti-ish, because gdbsupport uses another m4
file from gdb/. The resulting code is somewhat non-obvious. However,
these problems already exist, so it's not really that much worse than
what is already done.

This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is
the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top
level.
The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport".
This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into
the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build.
gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its
own build of gdbsupport.
