The Python CFLAGS include -DNDEBUG. This was apparently done
intentionally -- setting the flags is done manually because, according
to a comment, python-config passes too many things to the compiler
(which is true).
Per PR python/20445, this patch changes configure so that -DNDEBUG is
only used by release builds. This probably doesn't have very much
effect in practice, but I did see that some Python headers use assert,
so perhaps it will give some safety.
Tested by rebuilding and re-running gdb.python/*.exp on x86-64 Fedora 28.

There was a report on irc that the gdb check for mpfr failed when only
static libraries are available. The issue is that mpfr depends on
gmp, but this is not handled explicitly by gdb.
Ideally upstream would switch to pkg-config. Or even more ideally, we
would incorporate pkg-config into the compiler and not mess with any
of this.
Meanwhile, this changes gdb's configure to add gmp to the link line
when checking for mpfr.

Since commit
56bcdbea2b ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
trying to use a command like gdb.execute("show commands") in Python
fails. GDB ends up trying to run the "commands" command.
The reason is that GDB gets confused with the special "commands"
command. In process_next_line, the lookup_cmd_1 function returns the
cmd_list_element representing the "commands" sub-command of "show".
Lower, we check the cmd_list_element to see if it matches various
control commands by name, including the "commands" command. This is
where we wrongfully conclude that the executed command must be
"commands", when in reality it was "show commands".
The fix proposed in this patch removes the comparisons by name, instead
comparing the cmd_list_element object by pointer with the objects
created at initialization time.
Tested on the buildbot, though on a single builder (Fedora-x86_64-m64).

Some Python APIs steal references from their caller, and the refcount
checker supports this via an attribute.
However, in gdb with C++ we have a better idiom available: we can use
std::move on a gdbpy_ref<> instead. This makes the semantics obvious
at the point of call, and is safer at runtime as well, because the
callee's gdbpy_ref<> will be emptied.
This patch changes the reference-stealing code in gdb to use rvalue
references instead.

This patch started as an observation from valgrind that GDB appeared
to be loosing track of some memory associated with types. An example
valgrind stack would be:
24 bytes in 1 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 419 of 5,361

When we look in make_function_type we find a call to TYPE_ZALLOC
(inside the INIT_FUNC_SPECIFIC macro). It is this call to TYPE_ZALLOC
that is allocating memory with xcalloc, that is then getting lost.
The problem is tht calling TYPE_ALLOC or TYPE_ZALLOC currently
allocates memory from either the objfile obstack or by using malloc.
The problem with this is that types are allocated either on the
objfile obstack, or on the gdbarch obstack.
As a result, if we discard a type associated with an objfile then
auxiliary data allocated with TYPE_(Z)ALLOC will be correctly
discarded. But, if we were ever to discard a gdbarch then any
auxiliary type data would be leaked. Right now there are very few
places in GDB where a gdbarch is ever discarded, but it shouldn't hurt
to close down these bugs as we spot them.
This commit ensures that auxiliary type data is allocated from the
same obstack as the type itself, which should reduce leaked memory.
The one problem case that I found with this change was in eval.c,
where in one place we allocate a local type structure, and then used
TYPE_ZALLOC to allocate some space for the type. This local type is
neither object file owned, nor gdbarch owned, and so the updated
TYPE_ALLOC code is unable to find an objstack to allocate space on.
My proposed solution for this issue is that the space should be
allocated with a direct call to xzalloc. We could extend TYPE_ALLOC
to check for type->gdbarch being null, and then fall back to a direct
call to xzalloc, however, I think that making this rare case of a
local type require special handling is not a bad thing, this serves to
highlight that clearing up the memory will require special handling
too.
This special case of a local type is interesting as the types owner
field (contained within the main_type) is completely null. While
reflecting on this I looked at how types use the get_type_arch
function. It seems clear that, based on how this is used, it is never
intended that null will be returned from this function. This only
goes to reinforce, how locally alloctaed types, with no owner, are
both special, and need to be handled carefully. To help spot errors
earlier, I added an assert into get_type_arch that the returned arch
is not null.
Inside gdbarch.c I found a few other places where auxiliary type data
was being allocated directly on the heap rather than on the types
obstack. I have fixed these to call TYPE_ALLOC now.
Finally, it is worth noting that as we don't clean up our gdbarch
objects yet, then this will not make much of an impact on the amount
of memory reported as lost at program termination time. Memory
allocated for auxiliary type information is still not freed, however,
it is now on the correct obstack. If we do ever start freeing our
gdbarch structures then the associated type data will be cleaned up
correctly.
Tested on X86-64 GNU/Linux with no regressions.

While testing my Rust compiler patch to fix the DWARF representation
of Rust enums (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54004), I found
a gdb crash coming from one of the Rust test cases.
The bug here is that the new variant support in gdb does not handle
the case where there are no variants in the enum.
This patch fixes the problem in a straightforward way. Note that the
new tests are somewhat lax because I did not want to try to fully fix
this corner case for older compilers. If you think that's

Printing a GDB Python object is notoriously not helpful:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior object at 0x7fea59aed198>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile object at 0x7fea59b57c90>]
This makes printing debug traces more difficult than it should be. This
patch provides some repr() implementation for these two types (more to
come if people agree with the idea, but I want to test the water first).
Here's the same example as above, but with this patch:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior num=1>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile filename=/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb-gcc-git/gdb/test>]
I implemented repr rather than str, because when printing a list (or
another container I suppose), Python calls the repr method of the
elements. This is useful when printing a list of inferiors or objfiles.
The print(gdb.objfiles()) above would not have worked if I had
implemented str.
I found this post useful to understand the difference between repr and
str:

There is no reason for 'is_regular_file' to be in common-utils.c; it
belongs to 'filestuff.c'. This commit moves the function definition
and its prototype to the appropriate files.
The motivation behind this move is a failure that happens on certain
cross-compilation environments when compiling the IPA library, due to
the way gnulib probes the need for a 'stat' call replacement. Because
configure checks when cross-compiling are more limited, gnulib decides
that it needs to substitute the 'stat' calls its own 'rpl_stat';
however, the IPA library doesn't link with gnulib, which leads to an
error when compiling 'common-utils.c':

The most simple fix for this problem is to move 'is_regular_file' to
'filestuff.c', which is not used by IPA. This ends up making the
files more logically organized as well, since 'is_regular_file' is a
file operation.

This is a backport of a gnulib fix for the following bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23558
The problem reported there is about the replacement of 'getcwd' when
cross-compiling GDB. With our current gnulib copy, the mechanism for
deciding whether to use the system's 'getcwd' or gnulib's version is
too simplistic and pessimistic, so when cross-compiling we always end
up using gnulib's version, which has a limitation: it cannot handle
the situation when the parent directory doesn't have read permissions.
The solution is to backport the following gnulib commit:

ada_value_struct_elt is used when displaying a component (say, 'N') of
a record object (say, 'Obj') of type, say, 't1'. Now if Obj is tagged
(Ada parlance: "tagged types" are what other object-oriented languages
call "classes"), then 'N' may not be visible in the current view and
we need to look for it in its actual type. We do that at the same time
as resolving variable-length fields. This would typically be done by
the following call to ada_value_struct_elt, with the last parameter
check_tag set to 1:
t1 = ada_to_fixed_type (ada_get_base_type (t1), NULL,
address, NULL, 1);
This is the general logic, but recently we introduced a special case
to handle homonyms. Different components may have the same name in a
tagged type. For instance:
type Top_T is tagged record
N : Integer := 1;
end record;
type Middle_T is new Top.Top_T with record
N : Character := 'a';
end record;
Middle_T extends Top_T and both define a (different) component with
the same name ('N'). In such a case, using the actual type of a
Middle_T object would create a confusion, since we would have two
component 'N' in this actual type.
So, to handle homonyms, we convert t1 to the actual type *if
and only if* N cannot be found in the current view. For example, if Obj
has been created as a Middle_T but is seen as a Top_T'Class at our
point of execution, then "print Obj.N" will display the integer field
defined in Top_T's declaration.
Now, even if we find N in the current view, we still have to get a
fixed type: for instance, the record can be unconstrained and we still
need a fixed type to get the proper offset to each field. That is
to say, in this case:
type Dyn_Top_T (Disc : Natural) is tagged record
S : Integer_Array (1 .. Disc) := (others => Disc);
N : Integer := 1;
end record;
type Dyn_Middle_T is new Dyn_Top.Dyn_Top_T with record
N : Character := 'a';
U : Integer := 42;
end record;
If we have an object Obj of type Dyn_Middle_T and we want to display
U, we don't need to build, from its tag, a real type with all its real
fields. In other words, we don't need to add the parent components:
Disc, S, and the integer N. We only need to access U and it is
directly visible in Dyn_Middle_T. So no tag handling. However, we do
need to build a fixed-size type to have the proper offset to U (since
this offset to U depends on the size of Obj.S, which itself is dynamic
and depends on the value of Obj.Disc).
We accidentally lost some of this treatment when we introduced the
resolution of homonyms. This patch re-install this part by uncoupling
the tag resolution from the "fixing" of variable-length components.
This change also slightly simplifies the non-tagged case: in the
non-tagged case, no need to set check_tag to 1, since we already know
that there is no tag.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_struct_elt): Call ada_to_fixed_type
with check_tag to 1 if and only if the type is tagged and the
component being searched cannot been found in the current
view. Otherwise, always call ada_to_fixed_type with
check_tag to 0.

Using this Ada code:
type String_Access is access String;
type Array_Of_String is array (1 .. 2) of String_Access;
Aos : Array_Of_String := (new String'("ab"), new String'("cd"));
When debugging with GDB, printing each Aos element displays:
(gdb) print Aos(1)
$2 = "ab"
(gdb) print Aos(2)
$3 = "cd"
Whereas it should display:
(gdb) print Aos(1)
$2 = (foo_r118_024.string_access) 0x635018
(gdb) print Aos(2)
$3 = (foo_r118_024.string_access) 0x635038
Notice that printing the entire array works:
(gdb) print Aos
$1 = (0x635018, 0x635038)
The problem was located in ada_value_print function and due to the fact
that the value_type used in this function was based on
value_enclosing_type rather than value_type itself.
In our example, the difference between the value_type and the
value_enclosing_type of the value is that the value_type contains an
additional typedef layer which is not present in the value_enclosing_type.
This typedef layer is GNAT's way to specify that the element is, at the
source level, an access to the unconstrained array, rather than the
unconstrained array.
Moreover, the value_enclosing_type is not really needed in that case and
the value_type can be used instead in this function, and this patch fixes
this.

Consider the following function, which takes no parameter and returns
an integer:
function Something return Integer;
For the purpose of this discussion, our function has been implemented
to always return 124:
function Something return Integer is
begin
return 124;
end Something;
In Ada, such function can been called without using the parentheses.
For instance, in the statement below, variable My_Value is assigned
the returned value from the call to Something:
My_Value := Something;
The Ada expression interpeter in GDB supports this case, as we can
see below:
(gdb) print something
$1 = 124
However, we get fairly strange results when trying to use this feature
as part of a larger expression. For instance:
(gdb) print something + 1
$2 = 248
The problem occurs while doing the resolution pass of the expression.
After prefixying the expression, we obtain the following expression:
0 BINOP_ADD
1 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
5 OP_LONG Type @0x1e3c170 (int), value 1 (0x1)
The resolution pass is then expected to remove the OP_VAR_VALUE
entry, and replace it with an OP_FUNCALL. This is what the call
to replace_operator_with_call in ada-lang.c::resolve_subexp is
expected to do:
if (deprocedure_p
&& (TYPE_CODE (SYMBOL_TYPE (exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol))
== TYPE_CODE_FUNC))
{
replace_operator_with_call (expp, pc, 0, 0,
exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol,
exp->elts[pc + 1].block);
exp = expp->get ();
}
The problem is that we're passing OPLEN (zero -- 4th parameter in
the call), and so replace_operator_with_call ends up removing zero
element from our expression, and inserting the corresponding OP_FUNCALL
instead. As a result, instead of having the OP_LONG (1) as the second
argument of the BINOP_ADD, it is now the OP_VAR_VALUE that we were
meant to replace. That OP_VAR_VALUE then itself gets transformed into
an OP_FUNCALL, with the same issue, and eventually, the resolved
expression now looks like this:
0 BINOP_ADD
1 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
4 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
8 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
11 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
15 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
19 OP_LONG Type @0x1e3c170 (int), value 1 (0x1)
This explains why we get twice the result of the function call
instead of its value plus one. The extra entries in the expression
at the end are just ignored.
This patch fixes the issue by calling replace_operator_with_call
with the correct OPLEN equal to the size of an OP_VAR_VALUE (4).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Pass correct OPLEN in call to
replace_operator_with_call.

Consider the following code:
type Enumerated is (Enum_A, Enum_B, Enum_C, Enum_Last);
type Table is array (Enumerated) of Integer;
-- Declare a variable of type Table to make sure the compiler
-- does emit the debugging information for that type.
V : Table := (others => 1);
Trying to print the type description of type Table, or of variable V
yields:
(gdb) ptype v
type = array (0 .. 3) of integer
(gdb) ptype example.table
type = array (0 .. 3) of integer
The compiler generates an XA type for the bounds...
<1><cf6>: Abbrev Number: 13 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<cf7> DW_AT_name : example__table___XA
... whose member is described as being as:
<2><cfe>: Abbrev Number: 14 (DW_TAG_member)
<cff> DW_AT_name : example__enumerated
<d05> DW_AT_type : <0xc69>
This leads us to DIE 0xc69, which is our enumeration type:
<2><c69>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<c6a> DW_AT_name : example__enumerated
Normally, for arrays, we expect a range type, rather than an enumerated
type. However, for a situation like this, where the range of the array
index is the full enumeration type, it seems like a waste to require
an extra range layer.
Instead, looking at print_range, we see that we print the bounds
of our range using the target type:
target_type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
if (target_type == NULL)
target_type = type;
[...]
ada_print_scalar (target_type, lo, stream);
fprintf_filtered (stream, " .. ");
ada_print_scalar (target_type, hi, stream);
In this case, this causes us to use the enumerated type's subtype,
which is a plain integer type, hence the output we get. However,
there is no reason for using the target type, even in the TYPE_CODE_RANGE
situation. So this patch fixes the issue by simply printing the bounds
using the type being given, instead of its target type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-typeprint.c (print_range): Print the bounds using TYPE
rather than its TYPE_TARGET_TYPE.
A new test for this isn't necessary, as existing tests will demonstrate
this issue once a change in the compiler triggering the generation of
this type of debugging info gets pushed.
The arguments in the call to ada_to_fixed_value_create where
improperly aligned. But I also noticed that all the arguments
do fit on a single-line (up to 79 characters). So this patch
just fixes the code by putting everything on that same line.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_value): Minor reformatting in
call to ada_to_fixed_value_create.
On PPC64, the entry point of the function "FN" is ".FN" when a function
descriptor is used. One of the consequences of this is that GDB then
presents the name of the function to the user (eg: in backtraces) with
the leading dot, which is a low-level internal detail that the user
should not be seeing. The Ada decoding should strip it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_decode): strip dot prefix in symbol name.
No testcase added, as a number of existing testcases should already
demonstrate that problem.
We noticed while debugging a program compiled without assertions
enabled and using an older compiler that inserting a catchpoint
on failed assertions would cause an internal error:
(gdb) catch assert
../../src/gdb/ada-lang.c:13321: internal-error: ada_exception_sal:
Assertion`sym != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
This is due to a combination of factors:
1. With older versions of the compiler, the function used as a hook
was provided by a unit that's different from the unit which
provides the hooks for the other exception catchpoints.
2. The program either does not use any assertion, or is compiled
without the assertions enabled.
With newer versions of the compiler, all such functions are provided
by the same unit, so should normally always be available. However,
there can still be reasons why this is not the case. Consider, for
instance, the case of a runtime compiled with -ffunction-sections,
in which case the hook might be eliminated unless assertions are
used and enabled.
So this patch transforms the internal error into a simple error.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_exception_sal): Replace gdb_assert calls
by calls to error.
No testcase added, as the existing testcase gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp
should trigger it when using an older version of GNAT as the Ada
compiler.
When debugging a program compiled with an older version of GNAT,
hitting a catchpoint on unhandled exceptions can caused GDB to
got into an infinite loop. This happens while trying to find
the name of the exception that was raised. For that, it searches
for a frame corresponding to a specific function we know gets
called during the exeption handling.
In our particular case, the compiler was too old, and so GDB never
found that frame, and eventually got past the "main" subprogram,
all the way to system frames, where no symbol was available.
As a result, the code addresses could not be resolved into
a function name, leading to the infinite loop because of
a misplaced update of our loop variable "fi":
while (fi != NULL)
{
char *func_name;
enum language func_lang;
find_frame_funname (fi, &func_name, &func_lang, NULL);
if (func_name != NULL)
{
make_cleanup (xfree, func_name);
if (strcmp (func_name,
data->exception_info->catch_exception_sym) == 0)
break; /* We found the frame we were looking for... */
fi = get_prev_frame (fi);
}
}
If FUNC_NAME is NULL, then FI never gets updated ever after!
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unhandled_exception_name_addr_from_raise):
Move update of loop variable "fi".
No testcase added, as the existing testcase gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp
should trigger it when using an older version of GNAT as the Ada
compiler.
Consider a variable "PRA" defined as a packed array of packed
records as follow:
subtype Int is Integer range 0 .. 7;
type Packed_Rec is record
X, Y : Int;
W : Integer;
end record;
pragma Pack (Packed_Rec);
type Packed_RecArr is array (Integer range <>) of Packed_Rec;
pragma Pack (Packed_RecArr);
PRA : Packed_RecArr (1 .. 3);
Consider also a variable "PR", which is a Packed_Rec record,
declared as follow:
PR : Packed_Rec := (2, 2, 2);
Trying to assign a new value to PRA using an aggregate expression
where one of the components is our variable PR yields the wrong
result on big-endian machines (e.g. on ppc-linux):
(gdb) p pra := (pr, (2,2,2), (2,2,2))
$6 = ((x => 1, y => 0, w => 8), [...]
On the other hand, replacing "pr" by "(2,2,2)" does work.
I tracked the issue down to the bit offset we use to extract
the value of "PR" and copy it inside PRA. in value_assign_to_component,
we have:
if (gdbarch_bits_big_endian (get_type_arch (value_type (container))))
move_bits ([target buffer], [bit offset in target buffer],
[source buffer where PR is stored],
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (component)) * TARGET_CHAR_BIT - bits,
bits, 1);
The issue is with the third-to-last argument, which provides the bit
offset where the value of PR is stored relative to its start address,
and therefore the bit offset relative to the start of the source
buffer passed as the previous argument.
In our case, component is a 38bit packed record whose TYPE_LENGTH
is 5 bytes, so the bit-offset that gets calculated is 2 (bits).
However, that formula only really applies to scalars, whereas
in our case, we have a record (struct). The offset in the non-scalar
case should be zero.

After looking into why the build failed for Simon but not for me, we
found that the underlying cause was due to how gcc treats
-Wformat-nonliteral. gcc requires -Wformat to be given first; but
warning.m4 was not doing this, so -Wformat-nonliteral was not being
used.
This patch changes warning.m4 to account gcc's requirement.
This then showed that the target-float.c build change in the earlier
Makefile patch was also incorrect. Simon didn't see this in his
build, but gcc now points it out. So, this patch fixes this problem
as well.

Consider a vla variable 'a' in function f1:
...
<2><1a7>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1a8> DW_AT_description : a
<1aa> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x311>
...
with abstract origin 'a':
...
<2><311>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_variable)
<312> DW_AT_name : a
<317> DW_AT_type : <0x325>
...
and inherited abstract vla type:
...
<1><325>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<326> DW_AT_type : <0x33a>
<2><32e>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<32f> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<333> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: fd 1b 3 0 0
(DW_OP_GNU_variable_value: <0x31b>)
...
where the upper bound refers to this artificial variable D.1922 without location
attribute:
...
<2><31b>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_variable)
<31c> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x39a): D.1922
<320> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<324> DW_AT_artificial : 1
...
Currently, when we execute "p sizeof (a)" in f1, the upper bound is calculated
by evaluating the DW_OP_GNU_variable_value expression referring to D.1922, but
since that die doesn't have a location attribute, we get:
...
value has been optimized out
...
However, there's also artificial variable D.4283 that is sibling of vla
variable 'a', has artificial variable D.1922 as abstract origin, and has a
location attribute:
...
<2><1ae>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1af> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f8): D.4283
<1b3> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x31b>
<1b7> DW_AT_location : 11 byte block: 75 1 8 20 24 8 20 26 31 1c 9f
(DW_OP_breg5 (rdi):1; DW_OP_const1u: 32;
DW_OP_shl; DW_OP_const1u: 32; DW_OP_shra;
DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_minus; DW_OP_stack_value)
...
The intended behaviour for DW_OP_GNU_variable_value is to find a die that
refers to D.1922 as abstract origin, has a location attribute and is
'in scope', so the expected behaviour is:
...
$1 = 6
...
The 'in scope' concept can be thought of as variable D.1922 having name
attribute "D.1922", and variable D.4283 inheriting that attribute, resulting
in D.4283 being declared with name "D.1922" alongside vla a in f1, and when we
lookup "DW_OP_GNU_variable_value D.1922", it should work as if we try to find
the value of a variable named "D.1922" on the gdb command line using
"p D.1922", and we should return the value of D.4283.
This patch fixes the case described above, by:
- adding a field abstract_to_concrete to struct dwarf2_per_objfile,
- using that field to keep track of which concrete dies are instances of an
abstract die, and
- using that information when getting the value DW_OP_GNU_variable_value.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb represents a DW_TAG_variant_part as a union. While normally DWARF
would not set the size of a DW_TAG_variant_part, gdb's representation
requires the TYPE_LENGTH to be set.
This patch arranges to set the TYPE_LENGTH of a variant part if it has
not already been set.
This fixes some Rust regressions when testing against a version of
rustc that emits DW_TAG_variant_part.

I noticed that gdb.rust/simple.rs had two local variables named "v".
This didn't previous cause problems, but with a newer rust compiler
this resulted in a test failure. (It should have failed all along, so
I suppose earlier passes were due to a compiler bug.)
This patch renames the second variable.

It was pointed by Pedro that gnulib/Makefile.in should be updated
accordingly after our local gnulib is also updated. The specific part

This patch does that.

The RISC-V had a mechanism in place to cache the contents of the misa
register per-inferior, the original intention behind this was to
reduce the number of times the misa register had to be read (as the
contents should be constant), but it was pointed out on the mailing
list[1] that the register cache will mean the register is only
accessed once each time GDB stops, and any additional caching is
probably just unneeded extra complexity.
As such, until it can be shown that there's a real need for additional
caching, this commit removes all of the additional caching of the misa
register, and just accesses the misa register like a normal register.

In the test gdb.base/funcargs.exp, there's this function:
void recurse (SVAL a, int depth)
{
a.s = a.i = a.l = --depth;
if (depth == 0)
hitbottom ();
else
recurse (a, depth);
}
The test script places a breakpoint in hitbottom, and runs the
executable which calls recurse with an initial depth of 4.
When GDB hits the breakpoint in hitbottom the testscript performs a
backtrace, and examines 'a' at each level.
The problem is that 'a' is not live after either the call to
'hitbottom' or the call to 'recurse', and as a result the test fails.
In the particular case I was looking at GCC for RISC-V 32-bit, the
variable 'a' is on the stack and GCC selects the register $ra (the
return address register) to hold the pointer to 'a'. This is fine,
because, by the time the $ra register is needed to hold a return
address (calling hitbottom or recurse) then 'a' is dead.
In this patch I propose that a use of 'a' is added after the calls to
hitbottom and recurse, this should cause the compiler to keep 'a'
around, which should ensure GDB can find it.

* gdb.base/funcargs.c (use_a): New function.

Fix the first one by using host_address_to_string.

This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature. It does
most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and
your basic "with-classes" type of C++.
I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test
facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code"
testing. See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression
for more on that. The tests use this facility extensively.
This initial support has several glaring omissions:
- No template support at all
I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity
to this "basic" support. Consequently, they will be submitted separately.
- Cannot print functions
The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet.
- So-called "special function" support is not included
Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have
follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the
recent churn in symbol searching.
- There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs.
I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing
these patches.
The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but
I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in.
I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion
("debug compile-cplus-types").

Looking into this, I found two things.
First, in struct xlate_exception, it is better to have "them" be of
type DWORD, as that's the type actually in use.
Second, struct xlate_exception and xlate are not used in this file,
because the code in windows_nat_target::resume is #if'd out.
This patch changes the type of "them", but also similarly #if's out
this object.
In order to avoid a narrowing warning from the -1 entry, at Pedro's
suggestion I have removed this and changed windows_nat_target::resume
to use ranged for.
Tested by rebuilding using the mingw toolchain on x86-64 Fedora 28. I

Commit 6d52907e22 (MI: Print frame architecture when printing frames
on an MI channel) added frame's architecture to MI frame output. However
the frame architecture was not correctly printed in the output of

This was because with frame filters enabled, the actual frame printing is
done in "py_print_frame" rather than "print_frame". This issue is now fixed.

So on frame #10, we're marking a newly-discovered thread as running,
and that causes the Python API to emit a gdb.ContinueEvent.
gdb.ContinueEvent is a gdb.ThreadEvent, and as such includes the event
thread as the "inferior_thread" attribute. The problem is that when
we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is
being marked as running. create_continue_event_object assumes that it
is the current thread, which is not true in this case.
Fix this by passing down the right thread in
create_continue_event_object. Also remove
create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other
caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too.

* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func.exp: New file.
An earlier version of this patch used the returned block in conjunction
with BLOCK_ENTRY_PC to set stop_func_start in fill_in_stop_func() in
infrun.c. While I think this was the correct thing to do, changes
to find_inferior_partial_function could potentially end up with
stop_func_end < stop_func_start, which is definitely wrong. For
this case, we want to set both stop_func_start and stop_func_end
to the start and end of the range containing the function's entry
pc.
I think that this functionality will be useful in many other places
too - it probably ought to be used in all of the various prologue
analyzers in GDB.
The change to infrun.c was simple: the call to
find_pc_partial_function was replaced with a call to
find_function_entry_range_from_pc. The difference between these two
functions is that find_pc_partial_entry_function will (potentially)
return the start and end address corresponding to the range in which
PC is found, but find_function_entry_range_from_pc will (again,
potentially) return the start and end address of the range containing
the entry pc. find_pc_partial_function has the property that
*ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR. This condition does not necessarily hold
for the outputs of find_function_entry_range_from_pc.
It should be noted that for functions which contain only a single
range, the outputs of find_pc_partial_function and
find_function_entry_range_from_pc are identical.
I think it might happen that find_function_entry_range_from_pc will come
to be used in place of many of the calls to find_pc_partial_function
within GDB. Care must be taken in making this change, however, since
some of this code depends on the *ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR property.
Finally, a note regarding the name: I had initially chosen a different
name with a find_pc_partial_ prefix, but Simon suggested the current
name citing the goal of eventually making naming consistent using
the form find_X_from_Y. In this case X is "function_entry_range" and
Y is "pc". Both the name and rationale made sense to me, so that's
how it came to be.

This change/patch substitues BLOCK_ENTRY_PC for BLOCK_START in
places where BLOCK_START is used to obtain the address at which
execution should enter the block. Since blocks can now contain
non-contiguous ranges, the BLOCK_START - which is still be the
very lowest address in the block - might not be the same as
BLOCK_ENTRY_PC.
There is a change to infrun.c which is less obvious and less mechanical.
I'm posting it as a separate patch.

This patch adds support for disassembly of blocks with non-contiguous

This is an actual dump from the test case that I constructed for
this work. The ranges are printed in the order encountered in the
debug info. For the above example, note that the second range occupies
lower addresses than the first range.
Functions with contiguous ranges are still printed as follows:

gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c (block.h): Include.
(print_disassembly): Handle printing of non-contiguous blocks.
(disassemble_current_function): Likewise.
(disassemble_command): Likewise.
This change adds an optional output parameter BLOCK to
find_pc_partial_function. If BLOCK is non-null, then *BLOCK will be
set to the address of the block corresponding to the function symbol
if such a symbol was found during lookup. Otherwise it's set to the
NULL value. Callers may wish to use the block information to
determine whether the block contains any non-contiguous ranges. The
caller may also iterate over or examine those ranges.
When I first started looking at the broken stepping behavior associated
with functions w/ non-contiguous ranges, I found that I could "fix"
the problem by disabling the find_pc_partial_function cache. It would
sometimes happen that the PC passed in would be between the low and
high cache values, but would be in some other function that happens to
be placed in between the ranges for the cached function. This caused
incorrect values to be returned.
So dealing with this cache turns out to be very important for fixing
this problem. I explored three different ways of dealing with the
cache.
My first approach was to clear the cache when a block was encountered
with more than one range. This would cause the non-cache pathway to
be executed on the next call to find_pc_partial_function.
Another approach, which I suspect is slightly faster, checks to see
whether the PC is within one of the ranges associated with the cached
block. If so, then the cached values can be used. It falls back to
the original behavior if there is no cached block.
The current approach, suggested by Simon Marchi, is to restrict the
low/high pc values recorded for the cache to the beginning and end of
the range containing the PC value under consideration. This allows us
to retain the simple (and fast) test for determining whether the
memoized (cached) values apply to the PC passed to
find_pc_partial_function.
Another choice that had to be made regards setting *ADDRESS and
*ENDADDR. There are three possibilities which might make sense:
1) *ADDRESS and *ENDADDR represent the lowest and highest address
of the function.
2) *ADDRESS and *ENDADDR are set to the start and end address of
the range containing the entry pc.
3) *ADDRESS and *ENDADDR are set to the start and end address of
the range in which PC is found.
An earlier version of this patch implemented option #1. I found out
that it's not very useful though and, in fact, returns results that
are incorrect when used in the context of determining the start and
end of the function for doing prologue analysis. While debugging a
function in which the entry pc was in the second range (of a function
containing two non-contiguous ranges), I noticed that
amd64_skip_prologue called find_pc_partial_function - the returned
start address was set to the beginning of the first range. This is
incorrect for this function. What was also interesting was that this
first invocation of find_pc_partial_function correctly set the cache
for the PC on which it had been invoked, but a slightly later call
from skip_prologue_using_sal could not use this cached value because
it was now being used to lookup the very lowest address of the
function - which is in a range not containing the entry pc.
Option #2 is attractive as it would provide a desirable result
when used in the context of prologue analysis. However, many callers,
including some which do prologue analysis want the condition
*ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR to hold. This will not be the case when
find_pc_partial_function is called on a PC that's in a non-entry-pc
range. A later patch to this series adds
find_function_entry_range_from_pc as a wrapper of
find_pc_partial_function.
Option #3 causes the *ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR property to hold. If
find_pc_partial_function is called with a PC that's within entry pc's
range, then it will correctly return the limits of that range. So, if
the result of a minsym search is passed to find_pc_partial_function
to find the limits, then correct results will be achieved. Returned
limits (for prologue analysis) won't be correct when PC is within some
other (non-entry-pc) range. I don't yet know how big of a problem
this might be; I'm guessing that it won't be a serious problem - if a
compiler generates functions which have non-contiguous ranges, then it
also probably generates DWARF2 CFI which makes a lot of the old
prologue analysis moot.
I've implemented option #3 for this version of the patch. I don't see
any regressions for x86-64. Moreover, I don't expect to see
regressions for other targets either simply because
find_pc_partial_function behaves the same as it did before for the
contiguous address range case. That said, there may be some
adjustments needed if GDB encounters a function requiring prologue
analysis which occupies non-contiguous ranges.

* symtab.h (find_pc_partial_function): Add new parameter `block'.
* blockframe.c (cache_pc_function_block): New static global.
(clear_pc_function_cache): Clear cache_pc_function_block.
(find_pc_partial_function): Move comment to symtab.h. Add

This change sets BLOCK_RANGES for the block under consideration by
calling make_blockranges(). This action is performed in
dwarf2_record_block_ranges().
It should be noted that dwarf2_record_block_ranges() already does some
recording of the range via a call to record_block_range(). The ranges
recorded in that fashion end up in the address map associated with the
blockvector for the compilation unit's symtab. Given an address, the
addrmap provides a fast way of finding the block containing that
address. The address map does not, however, provide a convenient way
of determining which address ranges make up a particular block.
While reading a set of ranges, a vector of pairs is used to collect
the starting and ending addresses for each range in the block. Once
all of the ranges for a block have been collected, make_blockranges()
is called to fill in BLOCK_RANGES for the block.
The ranges are stored for the block in the order that they're read
from the debug info. For DWARF, the starting address of the first
range of the block will be the entry pc in cases where DW_AT_entry_pc
is not present. (Well, that would ideally be the case. At the moment
DW_AT_entry_pc is not being handled.)
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_record_block_ranges): Fill in BLOCK_RANGES
for block.
This patch does the following:
- Introduces a block range data structure which is accessed via
a new field in struct block.
- Defines several macros for accessing block ranges.
- Defines a new function, make_blockrange, which is responsible for
creating the new data structure.
It should be noted that some support for non-contiguous ranges already
existed in GDB in the form of blockvector addrmaps. This support
allowed GDB to quickly find a block containing a particular address
even when the block consists of non-contiguous addresses. See
find_block_in_blockvector() in block.c, dwarf2_record_block_ranges()
in dwarf2read.c, and record_block_range() in buildsym.c.
Addrmaps do not provide a convenient way to examine address ranges
associated with a particular block. This data structure (and its
interface) is set up for quickly finding the value (which in this case
is a block) associated with a particular address. The interface
does not include a method for doing a reverse mapping from blocks to
addresses. A linear time mapping might be attempted via use of the
addrmap's foreach method, but this is not as straightforward as it
might first appear due to the fact that blocks corresponding to inline
function instances and lexical blocks w/ variables end up getting
interspersed in in the set of transitions.
Note: If this approach is deemed to be too expensive in terms of
space, an alternate approach might be to attempt the linear time
mapping noted above. find_pc_partial_function() needs to be able to
quickly know whether there are discontiguous ranges, so a flag for
this property would have to be added to struct block. Also integral
to this set of changes is the concept of an "entry pc" which might be
different from the block's start address. An entry_pc field would
also need to be added to struct block. This does not result in any
space savings in struct block though since the space for the flag and
entry_pc use more space than the blockranges struct pointer that I've
added. There would, however, be some space savings due to the fact
that the new data structures that I've added for this patch would not
need to be allocated. (I happen to like the approach I've come up
with, but I wanted to mention another possibility just in case someone
does not.)

Commit
c12a508 ("Add client_state struct.")
inadvertently changed the default behavior of GDBserver wrt address
randomization. The old disable_randomization global variable was
initialized to 1, whereas the corresponding field in the client_state
structure is initialized to 0.
This fixes
make check TESTS="gdb.base/jit-simple.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
make check TESTS="gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
Note that the execl-update-breakpoints.exp would only fail on systems
where the toolchain emits position-independent executables by default
(otherwise the main executable position is never randomized, so the
value of disable_randomization didn't matter).

I noticed that the child_terminal_save_inferior function was not used
since the commit f6ac5f3d63 ("Convert struct target_ops to C++"). I
was able to make a little test program to illustrate the problem (see
test case).
I think we're just missing the override of the terminal_save_inferior
method in inf_child_target (along with the other terminal-related
methods).
Instead of creating a new test, I thought that gdb.base/term.exp was a
good candidate for testing that gdb restores properly the inferior's
terminal settings.

When printing frames on an MI channel also print the frame
architecture like in:
(gdb)
-stack-list-frames 3 3

file="recursive2.c",fullname="/home/foo/bar/recursive2.c",

This is useful for MI clients that need to know the architecture in
order to perform further analysis, for example to use their own
disassembler to analyze machine code.

A complication with the Guile code is that we have two types of
exceptions to consider: GDB/C++ exceptions, and Guile/SJLJ exceptions.
Because Guile exceptions are SJLJ based, we must make sure to not have
live local variables of types with non-trivial dtors when a Guile
exception is thrown, because the dtors won't be run when a Guile
exceptions is thrown.

Bug 17816 pointed out a useless use of the ternary operator:

r0.

Certain PIE executables produced by gold cannot be debugged by gdb after
being stripped. GDB requires program headers of PIE executables to match,
and those checks may fail due to adjustments made during stripping.
One case of this occurs because strip recomputes the memsz of PT_TLS and
does not add alignment, while gold does. This is another variant of PR
11786, so apply the same fix of relaxing the program header matching.

This patch adds support for DW_OP_GNU_variable_value to GDB.
Jakub Jelinek provides a fairly expansive discussion of this DWARF
expression opcode in his GCC patch...
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-02/msg01499.html
It has also been proposed for addition to the DWARF Standard:
http://www.dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=161109.2
If compiled with a suitable version of GCC, the test case associated
with GCC Bug 77589 uses DW_OP_GNU_variable_value in a DW_AT_byte_stride
expression. Here's a link to the bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77589
This is what the DWARF looks like. Look at the last line, which has
the DW_AT_byte_stride expression:
<2><e1>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_variable)
<e2> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x115): span.0
<e6> DW_AT_type : <0x2e>
<ea> DW_AT_artificial : 1
<ea> DW_AT_location : 3 byte block: 91 b0 7f (DW_OP_fbreg: -80)
...
<2><178>: Abbrev Number: 18 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<179> DW_AT_lower_bound : 4 byte block: 97 23 20 6 (DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 32; DW_OP_deref)
<17e> DW_AT_upper_bound : 4 byte block: 97 23 28 6 (DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 40; DW_OP_deref)
<183> DW_AT_byte_stride : 10 byte block: 97 23 18 6 fd e1 0 0 0 1e (DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 24; DW_OP_deref; DW_OP_GNU_variable_value: <0xe1>; DW_OP_mul)
A patch to readelf, which I'm also submitting, is required to do this
decoding.
I found that GDB gave me the correct answer for "p c40pt(2)" once I
(correctly) implemented DW_OP_GNU_variable_value.
I also have test case (later in this series) which uses the DWARF
assembler and, therefore, do not rely on having a compiler with this
support.

-fsanitize=address showed a use-after-free in number_or_range_parser.
The cause was that handle_line_of_input could stash the input into
"saved_command_line", and then this could be freed by reentrant calls.
This fixes the bug by preventing commands that are read by "commands"
from being eligible for repeating.

There is a small think-o in compile.exp:

gdb_test "info addr constvar" {Symbol "constvar" is constant\.}
gdb_test "compile code globalvar = constvar;"; # INCORRECT
gdb_test "print globalvar" " = 3" "print constvar value"
} else {
untested "print constvar value"

The line marked INCORRECT runs a simple "compile code" which is expected
to succeed. When this happens, the compile plug-in and GDB will not
output anything. The use of gdb_test matches against anything.
This is certainly not the intent, and this patch corrects the two instances
of this in the file. [The rest of gdb.compile looks okay.]

In the test script gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp we ask GDB
to list all thread groups, and match the output against a
regexp. Occasionally, I would see this test fail.
The expected output is a list of entries, each entry looking roughly
like this:
{id="<DECIMAL>",type="process",description="<STRING>",
user="<STRING>",cores=["<DECIMAL>","<DECIMAL>",...]}
All the fields after 'id' and 'type' are optional, and the 'cores'
list can contain 1 or more "<DECIMAL>" entries.
On my machine (Running Fedora 27, kernel 4.17.3-100.fc27.x86_64)
usually the 'description' is a non-empty string, and the 'cores' list
has at least one entry in it. But sometimes, very rarely, I'll see an
entry in the process group list where the 'description' is an empty
string, the 'user' is the string "?", and the 'cores' list is empty.
Such an entry looks like this:
{id="19863",type="process",description="",user="?",cores=[]}
I believe that this is caused by the process exiting while GDB is
scanning /proc for process information. The current code in
gdb/nat/linux-osdata.c is not (I think) resilient against exiting
processes.
This commit adjusts the regex that matches the 'cores' list so that an
empty list is acceptable, with this patch in place the test script
gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp never fails for me now.
I've only adjusted the cores regexp for the occasion when we have GDB
read information about all processes, its only in this case that we
might encounter an exiting process. When we read information about
two known PIDs, that we know will not exit for the duration of the
test, we require that the core list be non-empty.

In the existing code, when using the regset section iteration functions, the
size parameter is used in different ways.
With collect, size is used to create the buffer in which to write the regset.
(see linux-tdep.c::linux_collect_regset_section_cb).
With supply, size is used to confirm the existing regset is the correct size.
If REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE is set then the regset can be bigger than size.
Effectively, size is the minimum possible size of the regset.
(see corelow.c::get_core_register_section).
There are currently no targets with both REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE and a collect
function.
In SVE, a corefile can contain one of two formats after the header, both of
which are different sizes. However, when writing a core file, we always want
to write out the full bigger size.
To allow support of collects for REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE we need two sizes.
This is done by adding supply_size and collect_size.
