This commit adds a new function_view type. This type holds a
non-owning reference to a callable. It is meant to be used as
callback type of functions, instead of using the C-style pair of
function pointer and 'void *data' arguments. function_view allows
passing references to stateful function objects / lambdas with
captures as callbacks efficiently, while function pointer + 'void *'
does not.
See the intro in the new function-view.h header for more.
Unit tests included, put into a new gdb/unittests/ subdir.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
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.
* configure: Re-generate.

* Makefile.in: Remove @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removes lines
prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@. Update comment related to non-GNU

gdb/testsuite/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.
* configure: Re-generate.
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:
checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features by default... no
checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -std=gnu++11... no
checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -std=gnu++0x... no

checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with +std=c++11... no
checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -h std=c++11... no
configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++11 language features is required.

make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/build-gcc-4.7'
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).

All platforms on FreeBSD use a shared system call table, so use a
single XML file to describe the system calls available on each FreeBSD
platform.
Recent versions of FreeBSD include the identifier of the current
system call when reporting a system call entry or exit event in the
ptrace_lwpinfo structure obtained via PT_LWPINFO in fbsd_wait. As
such, FreeBSD native targets do not use the gdbarch method to fetch
the system call code. In addition, FreeBSD register sets fetched via
ptrace do not include an equivalent of 'orig_rax' (on amd64 for
example), so the system call code cannot be extracted from the
available registers during a system call exit. However, GDB assumes
that system call catch points are not supported if the gdbarch method
is not present. As a workaround, FreeBSD ABIs install a dummy gdbarch
method that throws an internal_error if it is ever invoked.

I wanted to unit test the Rust lexer, so I added a simple unit testing
command to gdb.
The intent is that self tests will only be compiled into gdb in
development mode. In release mode they simply won't exist. So, this
exposes $development to C code as GDB_SELF_TEST.
In development mode, test functions are registered with the self test
module. A test function is just a function that does some checks, and
throws an exception on failure.
Then this adds a new "maint selftest" command which invokes the test
functions, and a new dejagnu test case that invokes it.

GDB's use of --dynamic-list to only export the proc-service symbols is
broken due to Python's "python-config --ldflags" saying we should link
with -export-dynamic, causing us to export _all_ extern symbols
anyway. On Fedora 23:
$ python-config --ldflags
-lpython2.7 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
$ python3.4-config --ldflags
-L/usr/lib64 -lpython3.4m -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
Having GDB export all its symbols leads to issues such as PR gdb/16818
(GDB crashes when using name for target remote hostname:port), where a
GDB symbol unintentionally preempts a symbol in one of the NSS modules
glibc loads into the process. NSS modules should not define symbols
outside the implementation namespace or the relevant standards, but,
alas, that's a longstanding and hard to fix issue. See libc-alpha
discussion at:
[symbol name space issues with NSS modules]
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-04/msg00130.html
Python should instead be either using GCC's symbol visibility feature
or -Wl,--dynamic-list as well, to only export Python API symbols, but,
it doesn't. There are bugs open upstream for that:
[Use -Wl,--dynamic-list=x.list, not -Xlinker -export-dynamic]
http://bugs.python.org/issue10112
[Use GCC visibility attrs in PyAPI_*]
http://bugs.python.org/issue11410
But that's taking a long while to resolve.
I thought of working around this Python issue by making GDB build with
-fvisibility=hidden, as Jan suggests in Python issue 10112, as then
Python's "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" has no effect. However, that
would need to be done in the whole source tree (bfd, libiberty, etc.),
and I think that would break GCC plugins, as I believe those have
access to all of GCCs symbols, by "design". So we'd need a new
configure switch, or have the libraries in the tree detect which of
GCC or GDB is being built, but that doesn't work, because the answer
can be "both" with combined builds...
So this patch instead works around Python's bug, by simply sed'ing
away "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" from the result of python-config.py
--ldflags, making -Wl,--dynamic-list work again as it used to. It's
ugly, but so is the bug...
Note that if -Wl,--dynamic-list doesn't work, we always link with
-rdynamic, so static Python should still work.
Tested on F23 with --python=python (Python 2.7) and
--python=python3.4.

The -Wl,--dynamic-list test is currently broken on Fedora 23, when you
configure with --with-python=python3.4. We see:

In some babeltrace versions before 1.2.0, the header file iterator.h
declares the enum values `BT_SEEK_*' within the struct declaration of
bt_iter_pos. The enum values are supposed to be globally-scoped, which
works for C, but not for C++. Later babeltrace versions declare the
enum outside the struct:
https://lists.lttng.org/pipermail/lttng-dev/2013-September/021411.html
Now that GDB is compiled with C++, the GDB build fails on a system with
an affected babeltrace version: the compiler complains about a missing
declaration of BT_SEEK_BEGIN in ctf.c.
This patch enhances the configure check to recognize such babeltrace
versions as unusable for GDB.

Older versions of FreeBSD supported userland threading via a pure
user-space threading library (N threads scheduled on 1 process) and
a N:M model (N threads scheduled on M LWPs). However, modern FreeBSD
versions only support a M:M threading model where each user thread is
backed by a dedicated LWP. This thread target only supports this
threading model. It also uses ptrace to query and alter LWP state
directly rather than using libthread_db to simplify the implementation.
FreeBSD recently gained support for reporting LWP events (birth and death
of LWPs). GDB will use LWP events when present. For older systems it
fetches the list of LWPs in the to_update_thread_list target op to update
the list of threads on each stop.
This target supports scheduler locking by using ptrace to suspend
individual LWPs as necessary before resuming a process.

Multitarget builds currently fail when:
(1) simulator support is enabled (the main --target supports target sim)
(2) powerpc is included in the --enable-targets list
(3) powerpc is not the main/default target (--target)
This is because the powerpc sim provides a non-standard API function
sim_spr_register_name which gdb/rs6000-tdep.c utilizes. Since the sim
does not yet support multitarget, only the sim (if one exists) for the
main target is built. When that target isn't powerpc, this function
is not available leading to linking errors:
rs6000-tdep.c:(.text+0x1e34d): undefined reference to
`sim_spr_register_name'
Fix this by only using that API if the sim linked in is the powerpc
sim.

Since we now rely on PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE being available (added in
Linux 2.5.46), we're relying on NPTL.
This commit removes the support for older LinuxThreads, as well as the
workarounds for vendor 2.4 kernels with NPTL backported.
- Rely on tkill being available.
- Assume gdb doesn't get cancel signals.
- Remove code that checks the LinuxThreads restart and cancel signals
in the inferior.
- Assume that __WALL is available.
- Assume that non-leader threads report WIFEXITED.
- Thus, no longer need to send signal 0 to check whether threads are
still alive.
- Update comments throughout.

We have code in configure.ac that tries to detect whether the compiler
supports each warning and suppress it if not, but that doesn't work
with "-Wno-" options, because gcc doesn't error out for
-Wno-unknown-warning unless other diagnostics are being produced.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html.
Handle this by checking whether -Wfoo works when we actually want
-Wno-foo.

Currently building gdb is impossible without an installed termcap or
curses library. But, GDB already has a very minimal termcap in the
tree to handle this situation for Windows -- gdb/stub-termcap.c. This
patch makes that the fallback for all hosts.
Testing this on GNU/Linux (by simply hacking away the termcap/curses
detection in gdb/configure.ac), we trip on:
../readline/libreadline.a(terminal.o): In function `_rl_init_terminal_io':
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:527: undefined reference to `PC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:528: undefined reference to `BC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:529: undefined reference to `UP'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:538: undefined reference to `PC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:539: undefined reference to `BC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:540: undefined reference to `UP'
These are globals that are normally defined by termcap (or ncurses'
termcap emulation).
Now, we could just define replacements in stub-termcap.c, but
readline/terminal.c (at least the copy in our tree) has this:
#if !defined (__linux__) && !defined (NCURSES_VERSION)
# if defined (__EMX__) || defined (NEED_EXTERN_PC)
extern
# endif /* __EMX__ || NEED_EXTERN_PC */
char PC, *BC, *UP;
#endif /* !__linux__ && !NCURSES_VERSION */
which can result in readline defining the globals too. That will
usually work out in C, given that "-fcommon" is usually the default
for C compilers, but that won't work for C++, or C with -fno-common
(link fails with "multiple definition" errors)...
Mirroring those #ifdef conditions in the stub termcap screams
"brittle" to me -- I can see them changing in latter readline
versions.
Work around that by simply using __attribute__((weak)).
Windows/PE/COFF's do support weak, but not on gcc 3.4 based toolchains
(4.8.x does work). Given the file never needed the variables while it
was Windows-only, just continue not defining them there. All other
supported hosts should support this.

IIUC it is a pre-requisite for IPv6 support, some UNICes do not support
getaddrinfo required for IPv6. But coincidentally such UNICes are no longer
really supported by GDB. Therefore it was concluded we can remove all such
UNICes and then we can implement IPv6 easily with getaddrinfo.

Use kinfo_getvmmap from libutil on FreeBSD to enumerate memory

Whoops, these are C specific, but I somehow missed the warnings before:

* configure.ac (build_warnings): Move -Wmissing-prototypes

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.

When GDB is configured with "--without-tui --with-curses" or "--with-tui",
$prefer_curses is set to yes. But, that still doesn't mean that curses
will be used. configure will still search for the curses library, and
continue building without it. That's done here:
curses_found=no
if test x"$prefer_curses" = xyes; then
...
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(waddstr, [ncurses cursesX curses])
if test "$ac_cv_search_waddstr" != no; then
curses_found=yes
fi
fi
So if waddstr is not found, meaning curses is not really
available, even though it'd be preferred, $prefer_curses is
'yes', but $curses_found is 'no'.
So the right fix to tell whether we're linking with curses is
$curses_found=yes.

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.

In the end I have managed to test it by Wine myself:
$ wine build_win32/gdb/gdb.exe -q build_win32/gdb/gdb.exe -ex start -ex 'compile code 1' -ex 'set confirm no' -ex quit
[...]
Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x241418) at ../../gdb/gdb.c:29
29 args.argc = argc;
Could not load libcc1.so: Module not found.
Even if it managed to load libcc1.so (it needs host-dependent name libcc1.dll)
then it would soon end up at least on:
default_infcall_mmap:
error (_("This target does not support inferior memory allocation by mmap."));
As currently there is only:
linux-tdep.c:
set_gdbarch_infcall_mmap (gdbarch, linux_infcall_mmap);
While one could debug Linux targets from MS-Windows host I find it somehow
overcomplicated now when we are trying to get it running at least on native
Linux x86*.
The 'compile' project needs a larger port effort to run on MS-Windows.

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.
