Previously the core_xfer_partial method used core_get_siginfo to handle
TARGET_OBJECT_SIGNAL_INFO requests. However, core_get_siginfo looked for
Linux-specific sections in the core file. To support fetching siginfo
from cores on other systems, add a new gdbarch method (`core_xfer_siginfo`)
and move the body of the existing core_get_siginfo into a
linux_core_xfer_siginfo implementation of this method in linux-tdep.c.

Use the `pl_siginfo' field in the `struct ptrace_lwpinfo' object returned
by the PT_LWPINFO ptrace() request to supply the current contents of
$_siginfo for each thread. Note that FreeBSD does not supply a way to
modify the signal information for a thread, so $_siginfo is read-only for
FreeBSD.
To handle 32-bit processes on a 64-bit host, define types for 32-bit
compatible siginfo_t and convert the 64-bit siginfo_t to the 32-bit
equivalent when supplying information for a 32-bit process.

As with Linux architectures, cache the created type in the gdbarch when it

In some cases a compiler may produce a single object file (& thus single
DWO file) representing multiple source files. The most common example of
this is in whole program optimization (such as LLVM's LTO). Fission may
still be a beneficial feature to use here - to avoid the need to
read/link the debug info with system libraries and the like.
This change adds basic support for multiple CUs in a single DWO file to
support LLVM's output in this situation.
There is still outstanding work to design and implement a solution for
cross-CU references (usually using DW_FORM_ref_addr) in this scenario.
For now LLVM works around this by duplicating DIEs rather than making
cross-CU references in DWO files. This degrades debugger
behavior/quality especially for file-local entities.

My last commit fixed a regression that happened when using
inline/multi-line commands for Python/Compile/Guile, but introduced
another regression: it is now not possible to use aliases for the
commands mentioned above. The fix is to almost revert the change I've
made and go back to using the 'struct cmd_list_element *', but at the
same time make sure that we advance the 'cmd_name' variable past all
the whitespace characters after the command name. If, after skipping
the whitespace, we encounter a '\0', it means that the command is not
inline. Otherwise, it is.
This patch also expands the testcase in order to check for aliases and
for trailing whitespace after the command name.

This bug is a regression caused by the following commit:
604c4576fd is the first bad commit
commit 604c4576fd
Author: Jerome Guitton <guitton@adacore.com>
Date: Tue Jan 10 15:15:53 2017 +0100
The problem happens because, on cli/cli-script.c:process_next_line,
GDB is not using the command line string to identify which command to
run, but it instead using the 'struct cmd_list_element *' that is
obtained by using the mentioned string. The problem with that is that
the 'struct cmd_list_element *' doesn't have any information on
whether the command issued by the user is a multi-line or inline one.
A multi-line command is a command that will necessarily be composed of
more than 1 line. For example:
(gdb) if 1
>python
>print ('hello')
>end
>end
As can be seen in the example above, the 'python' command actually
"opens" a new command line (represented by the change in the
indentation) that will then be used to enter Python code. OTOH, an
inline command is a command that is "self-contained" in a single line,
for example:
(gdb) if 1
>python print ('hello')
>end
This Python command is a one-liner, and therefore there is no other
Python code that can be entered for this same block. There is also no
change in the indentation.
So, the fix is somewhat simple: we have to revert the change and use
the full command line string passed to process_next_line in order to
identify whether we're dealing with a multi-line or an inline command.
This commit does just that. As can be seen, this regression also
affects other languages, like guile or the compile framework. To make
things clearer, I decided to create a new helper function responsible
for identifying a non-inline command.
Testcase is attached.

This commit fixes a mismatch between what "print" command completer
thinks the command understands, and what the command actually
understands.
The explicit location options are understood by commands that take
(linespecs and) explicit locations as argument. I.e, breakpoint
commands, and "list". For example:
(gdb) b -source file.c -function my_func
So for those commands, it makes sense that the completer
completes:
"b -sour[TAB]" -> "b -source "
"b -functi[TAB]" -> "b -function "
etc.
However, completion for commands that take expressions (not
linespecs/locations) as arguments, such as the "print" command, also
completes the explicit location options, even though those switches
aren't really understood by these commands. Instead, "-foo" is
understood as an expression applying unary minus on a symbol named
"foo" (think "print -1"):
(gdb) p -func[TAB]
(gdb) p -function [RET]
No symbol "function" in current context.
The patch fixes this by having the expression_completer function
bypass the function that completes explicit locations.
New regression tests included.

Fix issue exposed by commit 3e29f34.
The basic issue is that section data referenced through an objfile
pointer can also be referenced via the program-space data pointer,
although via a separate mapping mechanism, which is set up by
update_section_map. Thus once section data attached to an objfile
pointer is released, the section map associated with the program-space
data pointer must be marked dirty to ensure that update_section_map is
called to prevent stale data being referenced. For the matter at hand
this marking is being done via a call to objfiles_changed.
Before commit 3e29f34 objfiles_changed could be called after all of
the objfile pointers were processed in reread_symbols since section
data references via the program-space data pointer would not occur in
the calls of read_symbols performed by reread_symbols.
With commit 3e29f34 MIPS target specific calls to find_pc_section were
added to the code for DWARF information processing, which is called
via read_symbols. Thus in reread_symbols the call to objfiles_changed
needs to be called before calling read_symbols, otherwise stale
section data can be referenced.
Thanks to Luis Machado for providing text for the main comment
associated with the change.

A following patch will want to add a std::vector to
objfile_per_bfd_storage. That makes it non-trivially
constructible/destructible. Since objfile_per_bfd_storage objects are
allocated on an obstack, we need to call their ctors/dtors manually.
This is what this patch does. And then since we can now rely on
ctors/dtors being run, make objfile_per_bfd_storage::storage_obstack
be an auto_obstack.

This commit eliminates make_cleanup_obstack_free, replacing it with a
new auto_obstack type that inherits obstack to add cdtors.
These changes in the parsers may not be obvious:
- obstack_init (&name_obstack);
- make_cleanup_obstack_free (&name_obstack);
+ name_obstack.clear ();
Here, the 'name_obstack' variable is a global. The change means that
the obstack's contents from a previous parse will stay around until
the next parsing starts. I.e., memory won't be reclaimed until then.
I don't think that's a problem, these objects don't really grow much
at all.
The other option I tried was to add a separate type that is like
auto_obstack but manages an external obstack, just for those cases. I
like the current approach better as that other approach adds more
boilerplate and yet another type to learn.

The issue was introduced by commit
"Share fork_inferior et al with gdbserver"
because it changed the place where the dummy thread (pid, 0, 0) is added,
relative to the call to the init_trace_fun callback. In this callback, darwin
checks for new threads in the program (there should be exactly one) in order to
update this dummy thread with the right tid. Previously, things happened in
this order:
- fork_inferior calls fork()
- fork_inferior adds dummy thread
- fork_inferior calls init_trace_fun callback, which updates the dummy
thread info
Following the commit mentioned above, the new thread is added in the
darwin-nat code, after having called fork_inferior (in
darwin_create_inferior). So gdb tries to do things in this order:
- fork_inferior calls fork()
- fork_inferior calls init_trace_fun callback, which tries to update
the dummy thread info
- darwin_create_inferior adds the dummy thread
The error happens while trying to update the dummy thread that has not
been added yet.
I don't think this dummy thread is necessary for darwin. Previously, it
was fork_inferior that was adding this thread, for all targets, so
darwin had to deal with it. Now that it's done by targets themselves,
we can just skip that on darwin. darwin_check_new_threads called
indirectly by init_trace_fun/darwin_ptrace_him will simply notice the
new thread and add it with the right information.
My level of testing was: try to start a process and try to attach to a
process, and it seems to work somewhat like it did before. I tried to
run the testsuite, but it leaves a huge amount of zombie processes that
launchd doesn't seem to reap, leading to exhaustion of system resources
(number of processes).

According to gcc's man page, it should ideed not warn:
-Wunused-function

clang has a too aggressive (or broken, depends on how you want to see

defined by DEF_VEC_* but not used in the current source file. Normally,
it won't warn about unused static inline functions defined in header
files, because it's expected that a source file won't use all functions
defined in a header file it includes. However, if the DEF_VEC_* macro
is used in a source file, it considers those functions as defined in the
source file, which leads it to think that we should remove those
functions. It is therefore missing a check to see whether those
functions are resulting from macro expansion. A bug already exists for
that:
https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=22712

clang gives this warning:
..../gdb/unittests/environ-selftests.c:139:7: error: explicitly moving variable of type 'gdb_environ' to itself [-Werror,-Wself-move]
env = std::move (env);
~~~ ^ ~~~
Ignoring the warning locally is the right thing to do, since it warns
about behavior we want to unit test, while an explicit self-move in
real code would likely be a mistake that we'd want to catch.
To avoid cluttering the code with preprocessor conditionals, this
commit adds the file common/diagnostics.h, in which we can put macros
used to control compiler diagnostics.

This is the portion of gdb_test which performs the match against
the RE (regular expression) passed to it:
return [gdb_test_multiple $command $message {
-re "\[\r\n\]*($pattern)\[\r\n\]+$gdb_prompt $" {
if ![string match "" $message] then {
pass "$message"
}
}
In a test that I've been working on recently, I wanted to use
a backreference - that's the \1 in the the RE below:
gdb_test "info threads" \
{.*[\r\n]+\* +([0-9]+) +Thread[^\r\n]* do_something \(n=\1\) at.*}
Put into English, I wanted to make sure that the value of n passed to
do_something() is the same as the thread number shown in the "info
threads" Id column. (I've structured the test case so that this
*should* be the case.)
It didn't work though. It turned out that ($pattern) in the RE
noted above is capturing the attempted backreference. So, in this
case, the backreference does not refer to ([0-9]+) as intended, but
instead refers to ($pattern). This is wrong because it's not what I
intended, but is also wrong because, if allowed, it could only match a
string of infinite length.
This problem can be fixed by using parens for a "noncapturing
subpattern". The way that this is done, syntactically, is to use
(?:$pattern) instead of ($pattern).
My research shows that this feature has been present since tcl8.1 which
was released in 1999.
The current tcl version is 8.6 - at least that's what I have on my
machine. It appears to me that mingw uses some subversion of tcl8.4
which will also have this feature (since 8.4 > 8.1).
So it seems to me that any platform upon which we might wish to test
GDB will have a version of tcl which has this feature. That being the
case, my hope is that there won't be any objections to its use.
When I looked at the implementation of gdb_test, I wondered whether
the parens were needed at all. I've concluded that they are. In the
event that $pattern is an RE which uses alternation at the top level,
e.g. a|b, we need to make $pattern a subpattern (via parens) to limit
the extend of the alternation. I.e, we don't want the alternation to
extend to the other portions of the RE which gdb_test uses to match
potential blank lines at the beginning of the pattern or the gdb
prompt at the end.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.exp (gdb_test): Using noncapturing parens for the $pattern
subpattern.
The commit
d309493 target: consider addressable unit size when reading/writing memory
introduced the possibility of reading memory of targets with
non-8-bit-bytes (e.g. memories that store 16 bits at each address).
The documentation of target_read and target_write was updated
accordingly, but to_xfer_partial, which is very related, wasn't updated.
This commit fixes that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_xfer_partial>: Update doc to
talk about addressable units instead of bytes.
Even though C++11 supports modifying containers using a const_iterator
(e.g., calling the 'erase' method of a std::vector), early versions of
libstdc++ did not implement that. Some of our buildslaves are using
these versions (e.g., the AArch64 buildslave uses gcc 4.8.8), and my
previous commit causes a breakage on them. The solution is simple:
just use a normal iterator, without const.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-20 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* common/environ.c (gdb_environ::unset): Use '::iterator' instead
of '::const_iterator'.
As part of the preparation necessary for my upcoming task, I'd like to
propose that we turn gdb_environ into a class. The approach taken
here is simple: the class gdb_environ contains everything that is
needed to manipulate the environment variables. These variables are
stored in an std::vector<char *>, which can be converted to a 'char
**' and passed as argument to functions that need it.
The usage has not changed much. As per Pedro's suggestion, this class
uses a static factory method initialization. This means that when an
instance is created, it is initially empty. When needed, it has to be
initialized using the static method 'from_host_environ'.
As mentioned before, this is a preparation for an upcoming work that I
will be posting in the next few weeks or so. For that work, I'll
probably create another data structure that will contain all the
environment variables that were set by the user using the 'set
environment' command, because I'll need access to them. This will be
much easier with the class-ification of gdb_environ.
As noted, this has been regression-tested with the new version of
environ.exp and no regressions were found.

'info registers' for MIPS throws an error and when it first encounters
an unavailable register. This does not match other architectures
which annotate unavailable registers and continue to print out the
values of subsequent registers. Replace the error by displaying an
aligned "<unavailable>". This string is truncated to "<unavl>" when
displaying a 32-bit register.

We should close the file before unlinking because on MS-Windows one
cannot delete a file that is still open.
I considered making 'gdb::unlinker::unlinker(const char *)'
'noexcept(true)' and then adding
static_assert (noexcept (gdb::unlinker (filename.c_str ())), "");
but that doesn't really work because gdb::unlinker has a gdb_assert,
which can throw a QUIT if/when the assertion fails. 'noexcept(true)'
would cause GDB to abruptly terminate if/when the assertion fails.

* dwarf2read.c (write_psymtabs_to_index): Construct file_closer

mi-cmd-env.c is using the whole gdb_environ machinery in order to
access just one variable, which can be easily replaced by a simple
call to getenv. This patch does that, and doesn't cause regressions.

* mi/mi-cm-env.c (_initialize_mi_cmd_env): Use getenv instead of
