clang complains that for some types, we use both the class and struct
keywords in different places. It's not really a problem, so I think we
can safely turn this warning off.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
* warning.m4 (build_warnings): Add -Wno-mismatched-tags.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
In warning.m4, we pass all the warning flags one by one to the compiler
to test if they are supported by this particular compiler. If the
compiler exits with an error, we conclude that this warning flag is not
supported and exclude it. This allows us to use warning flags without
having to worry about which versions of which compilers support each
flag.
clang, by default, only emits a warning if an unknown flag is passed:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
The result is that we think that all the warning flags we use are
supported by clang (they are not), and the compilation fails later when
building with -Werror, since the aforementioned warning becomes an
error. The fix is to also pass -Werror when probing for supported
flags, then we'll correctly get an error when using an unknown warning,
and we'll exclude it:
error: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
I am not sure why there is a change in a random comment in
gdbserver/configure, but I suppose it's a leftfover from a previous
patch, so I included it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
* warning.m4: Pass -Werror to compiler when checking for
supported warning flags.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

Newer GCCs are triggering false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized
warnings around code that uses gdb::optional:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-05/msg00118.html
Using std::optional wouldn't help, it triggers the same warnings:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80635
Initializing the variables to quiet the warning would defeat the
purpose of gdb::optional. Making the optional ctor memset its storage
would be a pessimization. Wrapping gdb::optional's internals with
"#pragma GCC diagnostic push/ignored/pop" doesn't work, we'd have to
wrap uses of gdb::optional instead, which I think would get unwieldy
and ugly as we start using gdb::optional more and more.
The -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning is documented as producing false
positives (unlike -Wuninialized), so until we find a better
workaround, disable -Werror for this warning. You'll still see the
warning when building gdb, but it won't cause a build failure.
Tested by building with gcc 4.8.5, 5.3.1, and gcc trunk (20170428).

The macros mentioned in the title were set only for GDB. In gdbserver they
were not set until now. To align the code in GDB and gdbserver these macros
are also added into gdbserver, enabling read and write of gs_base and fs_base
registers from the system in new and old kernels.

* configure.ac: Check if the fs_base and gs_base members of
`struct user_regs_struct' exist.
* config.in: Regenerated.
* configure: Likewise.
Since GNU make is now required to build GDB, we can remove everything
that checks whether the current make implemention is the GNU one or
not. I simply removed the @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removed the whole
lines that were prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@.
I removed the code in the configure scripts that set those variables.
I also removed the following bits from the configure scripts:
AC_CHECK_PROGS(MAKE, make): GNU make already defines a MAKE variable
internally to be used when invoking Makefiles recursively. I don't see
this variable being used anywhere else (in scripts for example), so I
think it's safe for removal.
AC_PROG_MAKE_SET: This macro defines a SET_MAKE output variable, which
is meant to be used in Makefiles to define the MAKE variable when
using an implementation of make that doesn't already define it.
Since we are now requiring GNU make, we don't need it anymore.
Plus, I don't see SET_MAKE being used anywhere, so I don't think it
was actually doing anything...
gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Remove @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removes lines
prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@. Update comment related to non-GNU
make.
* configure.ac: Remove checks for the make program.

Use AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX to detect if the compiler supports C++11,
and if -std=xxx switches are necessary to enable C++11.
We need to tweak AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX a bit though. Pristine
upstream AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX appends -std=gnu++11 to CXX directly.
That doesn't work for us, because the top level Makefile passes CXX
down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever gdb/Makefile may set CXX
to. The result would be that a make invocation from the build/gdb/
directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a make
invocation at the top level would not.
So instead of having AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX set CXX directly, tweak it
to AC_SUBST a separate variable -- CXX_DIALECT -- and use '$(CXX)
(CXX_DIALECT)' to compile/link.
Confirmed that this enables C++11 starting with gcc 4.8, the first gcc
release with full C++11 support.
Also confirmed that configure errors out gracefully with older GCC
releases:

If we need to revert back to making C++11 optional, all that's
necessary is to change the "mandatory" to "optional" in configure.ac
and regenerate configure (both gdb and gdbserver).

gdb's (or gdbserver's) own signal handling should not interfere with
the signal dispositions their spawned children inherit. However, it
currently does. For example, some paths in gdb cause SIGPIPE to be
set to SIG_IGN, and as consequence, the child starts with SIGPIPE to
set to SIG_IGN too, even though gdb was started with SIGPIPE set to
SIG_DFL.
This is because the exec family of functions does not reset the signal
disposition of signals that are set to SIG_IGN:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/execve.html
Signals set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the calling process
image are set to the default action in the new process
image. Signals set to be ignored (SIG_IGN) by the calling process
image are set to be ignored by the new process image. Signals set to
be caught by the calling process image are set to the default action
in the new process image (see <signal.h>).
And neither does it reset signal masks or flags.
In order to be transparent, when spawning new child processes to debug
(with "run", etc.), reset signal actions and mask back to what was
originally inherited from gdb/gdbserver's parent, just before execing
the target program to debug.

The ptrace args/return types detection doesn't work properly in C++
mode, on non-GNU/Linux hosts. For example, on gcc70 (NetBSD 5.1),
where the prototype is:
int ptrace(int, __pid_t, void*, int);
configure misdetects it as:
$ grep PTRACE_TYPE config.h
#define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1 int
#define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3 int *
#define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4 int
/* #undef PTRACE_TYPE_ARG5 */
#define PTRACE_TYPE_RET int
resulting in:
../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c: In function 'void amd64bsd_fetch_inferior_registers(target_ops*, regcache*, int)':
../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:56: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:110: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
We could address this [1], however despite ptrace.m4's claim:
# Needs to be tested in C++ mode, to detect whether we need to cast
# the first argument to enum __ptrace_request.
it appears that there's actually no need to test in C++ mode. Always
running the ptrace tests in C mode works just the same on GNU/Linux.
I remember experimenting with several different ways to handle the
original issue back then, and maybe that was needed in some other
attempt and then I didn't realize it ended up not really necessary.
Confirmed that this fixes the NetBSD 5.1 C++ build, and confirmed that
C and C++ builds on Fedora 23 are unaffected.

Currently, even when built with --enable-build-with-cxx, gdb uses

CXXFLAGS set in the environment when configure was run is now honored

Building in C++ mode issues ~40 warnings like this:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c: In function ‘int linux_handle_extended_wait(lwp_info*, int, int)’:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:2016:51: warning: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘__ptrace_request’ [-fpermissive]
ptrace (PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, pid, 0, &new_pid);
The issue is that in glibc, ptrace's first parameter is an enum.
That's not a problem if we pick the PTRACE_XXX requests from
sys/ptrace.h, as those will be values of the corresponding enum.
However, we have fallback definitions for PTRACE_XXX symbols when the
system headers miss them (such as PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG above), and those
are plain integer constants. E.g., nat/linux-ptrace.h:
#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
One idea would be to fix this by defining those fallbacks like:
-#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
+#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG ((enum __ptrace_request) 0x4201)
However, while glibc's ptrace uses enum __ptrace_request for first
parameter:
extern long int ptrace (enum __ptrace_request __request, ...) __THROW;
other libc's, like e.g., Android's bionic do not -- in that case, the
first parameter is int:
long ptrace(int request, pid_t pid, void * addr, void * data);
So the fix I came up is to make configure/ptrace.m4 also detect the
type of the ptrace's first parameter and defin PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1, as
already does the for parameters 3-4, and then simply wrap ptrace with
a macro that casts the first argument to the detected type. (I'm
leaving adding a nicer wrapper for when we drop building in C).
While this adds the wrapper, GNU/Linux files won't use it until the
next patch, which makes all native GNU/Linux files include
gdb_ptrace.h.

| proc-service, extern "C"
|
| libthread_db.so calls symbols in the client (GDB), through the
| proc-service interface. These routines must have extern "C" linkage
| so their symbol names are not mangled when GDB is built as a C++
| program. On the GDBserver side, we were missing fallback declarations for

... added a number of declarations which do not compile when cross-
compiling GDBserver on arm-android. The problem comes from type
prfpregset_t not being declared:
/[...]/gdbserver/gdb_proc_service.h:98:47:
error: unknown type name 'prfpregset_t'
After searching through the includes of the install we have,
I could not find that type being declared anywhere. So I did
the same as for prgregset_t, and created the typedef if the
type isn't declared.

This new option, disabled by default for now, allows specifying
whether to build GDB, GDBserver, and friends with a C++ (98/03)
compiler.
The name of the switch should be familiar to those who followed GCC's
own C++ conversion process.
. Adding -fpermissive to COMPILER in C++ mode (see the new
build-with-cxx.m4 file) makes errors like these be warnings instead:
gdb/infrun.c:6597:1: error: initializing argument 1 of ‘void sig_print_info(gdb_signal)’ [-fpermissive]
sig_print_info (enum gdb_signal oursig)
^
gdb/infrun.c: In function ‘void do_restore_infcall_suspend_state_cleanup(void*)’:
gdb/infrun.c:7164:39: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘infcall_suspend_state*’ [-fpermissive]
restore_infcall_suspend_state (state);
^
so that the compiler carries on compiling the file. -Werror still
catches the warnings, so nothing is lost, only our lifes are made
easier by concentrating on getting other more important things out of
the way first.
There's no way to quiet those warnings. Until they're all fixed, when
building in C++ mode, -Werror is disabled by default.
. Adding -Wno-narrowing suppresses thousands of instances of this warning:
gdb/arm-linux-tdep.c:439:1: error: narrowing conversion of ‘-1’ from ‘int’ to ‘ULONGEST {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]
gdb/arm-linux-tdep.c:439:1: error: narrowing conversion of ‘-1l’ from ‘LONGEST {aka long int}’ to ‘ULONGEST {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]
gdb/arm-linux-tdep.c:450:1: error: narrowing conversion of ‘-1’ from ‘int’ to ‘ULONGEST {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]
We can defer handling those until we target C++11.
. Adding -Wno-sign-compare suppresses thousands of instances of this warning:
gdb/linux-record.c:1763:32: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
if (tmpulongest == tdep->fcntl_F_GETLK64)
^
. Adding -Wno-write-strings suppresses thousands of instances of this warning:
gdb/mi/mi-cmd-var.c: In function ‘void mi_cmd_var_show_attributes(char*, char**, int)’:
gdb/mi/mi-cmd-var.c:514:12: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings]
attstr = "editable";
^
gdb/mi/mi-cmd-var.c:516:12: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings]
attstr = "noneditable";
^
For now, it's best to hide these warnings from view until we're
'-fpermissive'-clean, and can thus start building with -Werror.
The C compiler has always managed to build working GDBs with these
issues in the code, so a C++ compiler should too.

Converting GDB to be a C++ program, I stumbled on 'basename' issues,
like:
src/gdb/../include/ansidecl.h:169:64: error: new declaration ‘char* basename(const char*)’
/usr/include/string.h:597:26: error: ambiguates old declaration ‘const char* basename(const char*)’
which I believe led to this bit in gold's configure.ac:
dnl We have to check these in C, not C++, because autoconf generates
dnl tests which have no type information, and current glibc provides
dnl multiple declarations of functions like basename when compiling
dnl with C++.
AC_CHECK_DECLS([basename, ffs, asprintf, vasprintf, snprintf, vsnprintf, strverscmp])
These checks IIUC intend to generate all the HAVE_DECL_FOO symbols
that libiberty.h and ansidecl.h check.
GDB is missing these checks currently, which results in the conflict
shown above.
This adds an m4 file that both GDB and GDBserver's configury use to
pull in the autoconf checks that libiberty clients needs done in order
to use these libiberty.h/ansidecl.h.

This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBServer to detect 64-bit inferior
correctly. We find a problem that GDBServer is unable to detect on a
e5500 core processor. Current GDBServer assumes that MSR is a 64-bit
register, but MSR is a 32-bit register in Book III-E. This patch is
to fix this problem by checking the right bit in MSR, in order to handle
both Book III-S and Book III-E. In order to detect Book III-S and
Book III-E, we check the PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE from the host's HWCAP (by
getauxval on glibc >= 2.16. If getauxval doesn't exist, we implement
the fallback by parsing /proc/self/auxv), because it should an invariant
on the same machine cross different processes.
In order to share code, I add nat/ppc-linux.c for both GDB and
GDBserver side.

This patch mostly aims at fixing a GDB build failure on 32bit Solaris
systems (Sparc and x86), due to a recent gnulib update adding the
readlink module. But it might also fix related issues when configuring
with --disable-largefile.
A side-effect of the gnulib readlink module addition is that it caused
largefile support to be added as well, and in particular
gnulib/import/m4/largefile.m4 introduced the following new #define in
gnulib's config.in:
| +/* Number of bits in a file offset, on hosts where this is settable. */
| +#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
When defined to 64, it triggers an issue with procfs.h while trying
to build sparc-sol2-nat.c:
| #if !defined(_LP64) && _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
| #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
| #endif
As it turns out, this is a fairly familiar problem, and one of
the reasons behind ACX_LARGEFILE having been created. In that macro,
we have some code which disables largefile support on solaris hosts:
| sparc-*-solaris*|i[3-7]86-*-solaris*)
| changequote([,])dnl
| # On native 32bit sparc and ia32 solaris, large-file and procfs support
| # are mutually exclusive; and without procfs support, the bfd/ elf module
| # cannot provide certain routines such as elfcore_write_prpsinfo
| # or elfcore_write_prstatus. So unless the user explicitly requested
| # large-file support through the --enable-largefile switch, disable
| # large-file support in favor of procfs support.
| test "${target}" = "${host}" -a "x$plugins" = xno \
| && : ${enable_largefile="no"}
| ;;
But gnulib ignores this fact, and so tries to determine how to
enable large-file support irrespective of whether we want it or not.
This patch fixes the issue by passing --disable-largefile to gnulib's
configure when large-file support in GDB is disabled. This is done
by first enhancing ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR to allow us to pass extra
arguments to be passed to the configure command, and then by modifying
GDB's configure to pass --disable-largefile if large-file support
is disabled.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* acx_configure_dir.m4 (ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR): Add support for
new "EXTRA-ARGS" parameter.
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDB,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDBserver,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
Tested by rebuilding on sparc-solaris and x86_64-linux (with gdbserver).
This fixes the build failure on sparc-solaris. I also verified in
gnulib's config.log file that we pass --disable-largefile in the solaris
case, while we do not in the GNU/Linux case.
Since readlink module is imported, we can use it unconditionally.
This patch is to remove configure checks and HAVE_READLINK checks in
code. It was mentioned in the patch below

The recent libiberty patch caused issues when cross building
gdbserver. The Makefile ends invoking the build machine's "ar"
instead of the --host version:
ar ./libiberty.a \
./regex.o (...)
ar: illegal option -- .
Usage: ar [emulation options] [-]{dmpqrstx}[abcfilNoPsSuvV] [member-name] [count] archive-file file...
ar -M [<mri-script]
The libiberty configure script does probe for and finds an appropriate
AR. However, gdbserver's configure does not probe for AR and
overrides the AR used in the libiberty build by explicitly passing AR
to the sub-builds.

The goal of this patch is to provide an easy way to make
--disable-werror the default when building binutils, or the parts
of binutils that need to get built when building GDB. In development
mode, we want to continue making -Werror the default with GCC.
But, when making releases, I think we want to make it as easy as
possible for regular users to successfully build from sources.
GDB already has this kind of feature to turn -Werror as well as
the use of the libmcheck library. As GDB Release Manager, I take
advantage of it to turn those off after having cut the branch.
I'd like to be able to do the same for the binutils bits. And
perhaps Tristan will want to do the same for his releases too
(not sure, binutils builders might be a little savvier than GDB
builders).
This patch introduces a new file, called development.sh, which
just sets a variable called $development. In our development branches
(Eg. "master"), it's set to true. But setting it to false would allow
us to change the default behavior of various development-related
features to be turned off; in this case, it turns off the use of
-Werror by default (use --enable-werror to turn it back on).

Tested on x86_64-linux by building two ways: One with DEVELOPMENT
set to true, and one with DEVELOPMENT set to false. In the first
case, I could see the use of -Werror, while it disappeared in
the second case.
On GDB release branches, we change $development in gdb/development.sh
to false, in order to build the GDB release without -Werror by default,
thus avoiding harmless compiler warnings from breaking the build of
someone who's only interested in building GDB rather than working
on it.
This patch implements the same strategy for gdbserver, using the exact
same method.

Tested on x86_64-linux, by rebuilding GDBserver first with development
set to true, and then doing it again with development set to false.
Werror was used in the first case, but not in the second.
stdlib.h is universal as well, so there is no need to check for it.

* configure: Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Don't check for stdlib.h
* defs.h: Include stdlib.h unconditionally.

* gdbreplay.c: Unconditionally include stdlib.h.
This removes gdb_dirent.h and updates the code to use dirent.h
instead. It also removes the now-useless configure checks.

* common/common.m4 (GDB_AC_COMMON): Don't use AC_HEADER_DIRENT.
* common/gdb_dirent.h: Remove.
* common/filestuff.c: Use dirent.h.

Now that we are using the gnulib string.h module, we don't need to
check for string.h or strings.h. This removes the last few checks
from the source and from the configure scripts.
