Commit d7e747318f ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make
ui_file a class hierarchy") regressed the TUI's command window.
Newlines miss doing a "carriage return", resulting in output like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(gdb) helpList of classes of commands:
aliases -- Aliases of other commands
breakpoints -- Making program stop at certain points
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the commit mentioned above, the default ui_file->to_write
implementation had a hack that would defer into the ui_file->to_fputs
method. The TUI's ui_file did not implement the to_write method, so
all writes would end up going to the ncurses window via tui_file_fputs
-> tui_puts.
After the commit above, the hack is gone, but the TUI's ui_file still
does not implement the ui_file::write method. Since tui_file inherits
from stdio_file, writing to a tui_file ends up doing fwrite on the
FILE stream the TUI is "associated" with, via stdio_file::write,
instead of writing to the ncurses window.
The fix is to have tui_file override the "write" method.
New test included.

Commit d7e747318f ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make

regs", that leads gdb to crash when issuing:
./gdb ./a.out -ex 'layout regs' -ex start
From the backtrace, it's caused by this 'delete' on tui_restore_gdbout():

714 delete gdb_stdout;
The problem is simply that the commit mentioned above made the ui_file
that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated
string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file. The
fix is simply to remove the now-incorrect delete.
New test included, which exercises enabling all TUI layouts, with and
without execution. (This particular crash only triggers with
execution.)

- The interp->data field disappears, since we can put data in the
interpreter directly now. The "init" method remains in place, but
it now returns void.
- A few places check if the interpreter method is NULL before calling
it, and also check whether the method returns true/false. For some
of those methods, all current implementations always return true.
In those cases, this commit makes the C++-fied method return void
instead and cleans up the callers.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23.

This patch gets rid of this hack in mi_set_logging:
/* The tee created already is based on gdb_stdout, which for MI
is a console and so we end up in an infinite loop of console
writing to ui_file writing to console etc. So discard the
existing tee (it hasn't been used yet, and MI won't ever use
it), and create one based on raw_stdout instead. */
By pushing down responsibility for the tee creation to the
interpreter. I.e., pushing the CLI bits out of handle_redirections
down to the CLI interpreter's set_logging_proc method.
This fixes a few leaks that I spotted, and then confirmed with
"valgrind --leak-check=full":

One is fixed by transfering ownership of the log file to the tee. In
pseudo-patch, since the code was moved at the same time:
- out = new tee_file (curr_output, false, logfile.get (), false);
+ out = new tee_file (curr_output, false, logfile.get (), true);
The other is this bit in mi_set_logging:
else
{
+ delete mi->raw_stdout;
I tried to split the leak fixes to a smaller preparatory patch, but
that was difficult exactly because of the tee hack in
handle_redirections -> mi_set_logging.

This patch starts from the desire to eliminate
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete, but then goes beyond. It makes ui_file &
friends a real C++ class hierarchy, and switches temporary
ui_file-like objects to stack-based allocation.
- mem_fileopen -> string_file
mem_fileopen is replaced with a new string_file class that is treated
as a value class created on the stack. This alone eliminates most
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete calls, and, simplifies code a whole lot
(diffstat shows around 1k loc dropped.)
string_file's internal buffer is a std::string, thus the "string" in
the name. This simplifies the implementation much, compared to
mem_fileopen, which managed growing its internal buffer manually.
- ui_file_as_string, ui_file_strdup, ui_file_obsavestring all gone
The new string_file class has a string() method that provides direct
writable access to the internal std::string buffer. This replaced
ui_file_as_string, which forced a copy of the same data the stream had
inside. With direct access via a writable reference, we can instead
move the string out of the string_stream, avoiding deep string
copying.
Related, ui_file_xstrdup calls are replaced with xstrdup'ping the
stream's string, and ui_file_obsavestring is replaced by
obstack_copy0.
With all those out of the way, getting rid of the weird ui_file_put
mechanism was possible.
- New ui_file::printf, ui_file::puts, etc. methods
These simplify / clarify client code. I considered splitting
client-code changes, like these, e.g.:
- stb = mem_fileopen ();
- fprintf_unfiltered (stb, "%s%s%s",
- _("The valid values are:\n"),
- regdesc,
- _("The default is \"std\"."));
+ string_file stb;
+ stb.printf ("%s%s%s",
+ _("The valid values are:\n"),
+ regdesc,
+ _("The default is \"std\"."));
In two steps, with the first step leaving fprintf_unfiltered (etc.)
calls in place, and only afterwards do a pass to change all those to
call stb.printf etc.. I didn't do that split, because (when I tried),
it turned out to be pointless make-work: the first pass would have to
touch the fprintf_unfiltered line anyway, to replace "stb" with
"&stb".
- gdb_fopen replaced with stack-based objects
This avoids the need for cleanups or unique_ptr's. I.e., this:
struct ui_file *file = gdb_fopen (filename, "w");
if (filename == NULL)
perror_with_name (filename);
cleanups = make_cleanup_ui_file_delete (file);
// use file.
do_cleanups (cleanups);
is replaced with this:
stdio_file file;
if (!file.open (filename, "w"))
perror_with_name (filename);
// use file.
- odd contorsions in null_file_write / null_file_fputs around when to
call to_fputs / to_write eliminated.
- Global null_stream object
A few places that were allocating a ui_file in order to print to
"nowhere" are adjusted to instead refer to a new 'null_stream' global
stream.
- TUI's tui_sfileopen eliminated. TUI's ui_file much simplified
The TUI's ui_file was serving a dual purpose. It supported being used
as string buffer, and supported being backed by a stdio FILE. The
string buffer part is gone, replaced by using of string_file. The
'FILE *' support is now much simplified, by making the TUI's ui_file
inherit from stdio_file.

This removes dead code in tui_alloc_source_buffer for handling a NULL
return value from xmalloc.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-winsource.c (tui_alloc_source_buffer): Remove
failed-xmalloc handling.
The logic for allocating a TUI source window's content buffer allocates
two more lines than needed, because it does not reduce the window height
by the highlight box's overhead. However, it does reduce the line width
accordingly. This patch makes the height and width calculation
consistent and improves the comment.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-winsource.c (tui_alloc_source_buffer): Subtract
highlight box's overhead when calculating the content height.
The code that fills the TUI disassembly window content first calculates
the maximum full length of a displayed disassembly line. This
calculation typically yields the wrong result. The result is too large,
so the bug does not cause any run-time failures, but unnecessary
confusion for the reader. This patch fixes the calculation.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-disasm.c (tui_set_disassem_content): Fix calculation of
the longest disassembly line's length.
A user reported a GDB crash with TUI when trying to debug a function
with a long demangled C++ method name. It turned out that the logic for
displaying the TUI disassembly window has a bug that can cause a buffer
overrun, possibly overwriting GDB-internal data structures. In
particular, the logic performs an unguarded strcpy.
Another (harmless) bug in tui_alloc_source_buffer causes the buffer to
be two lines longer than needed. This may have made the crash appear
less frequently.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-disasm.c (tui_set_disassem_content): Fix line buffer
overrun due to unchecked strcpy.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/tui-layout.c: New file.
* gdb.base/tui-layout.exp: Use tui-layout.c, to ensure that the

This removes make_cleanup_restore_current_ui by converting the last

With this patch, when an inferior, thread or frame is explicitly
selected by the user, notifications will appear on all CLI and MI UIs.
When a GDB console is integrated in a front-end, this allows the
front-end to follow a selection made by the user ont he CLI, and it
informs the user about selection changes made behind the scenes by the
front-end.
This patch addresses PR gdb/20487.
In order to communicate frame changes to the front-end, this patch adds
a new field to the =thread-selected event for the selected frame. The
idea is that since inferior/thread/frame can be seen as a composition,
it makes sense to send them together in the same event. The vision
would be to eventually send the inferior information as well, if we find
that it's needed, although the "=thread-selected" event would be
ill-named for that job.
Front-ends need to handle this new field if they want to follow the
frame selection changes that originate from the console. The format of
the frame attribute is the same as what is found in the *stopped events.
Here's a detailed example for each command and the events they generate:
thread
------
1. CLI command:
thread 1.3
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={...}
2. MI command:
-thread-select 3
CLI event:
[Switching to thread 1.3 ...]
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
thread 1.3
MI event/reply:
&"thread 1.3\n"
~"#0 child_sub_function () ...
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="0",...}
^done
frame
-----
1. CLI command:
frame 1
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1",...}
2. MI command:
-stack-select-frame 1
CLI event:
#1 0x00000000004007f0 in child_function...
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
frame 1
MI event/reply:
&"frame 1\n"
~"#1 0x00000000004007f9 in ..."
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1"...}
^done
inferior
--------
Inferior selection events only go from the console to MI, since there's
no way to select the inferior in pure MI.
1. CLI command:
inferior 2
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3"
Note that if the user selects an inferior that is not started or exited,
the MI doesn't receive a notification. Since there is no threads to
select, the =thread-selected event does not apply...
2. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
inferior 2
MI event/reply:
&"inferior 2\n"
~"[Switching to inferior 2 ...]"
=thread-selected,id="4",frame={level="0"...}
^done
Internal implementation detail: this patch makes it possible to suppress
notifications caused by a CLI command, like what is done in mi-interp.c.
This means that it's now possible to use the
add_com_suppress_notification function to register a command with some
event suppressed. It is used to implement the select-frame command in
this patch.
The function command_notifies_uscc_observer was added to extract
the rather complicated logical expression from the if statement. It is
also now clearer what that logic does: if the command used by the user
already notifies the user_selected_context_changed observer, there is
not need to notify it again. It therefore protects again emitting the
event twice.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 x86 with target boards unix and
native-extended-gdbserver.

All interpreter types (CLI/TUI/MI) print the prompt, and then call
start_event_loop.
Because we'll need an interpreter hook to display the
interpreter-specific prompt before going back to the event loop,
without actually starting an event loop, this patch moves the
start_event_loop call to common code, and replaces the command_loop
hook with a pre_command_look hook, that now just prints the prompt.
Turns out to be a cleanup on its own right anyway.

Due to the way that readline's API works (based on globals), we can
only have one instance of readline in a process. So the goal of this
patch is to only allow editing in the main UI, and make sure that only
one UI calls into readline. Some MI paths touch readline variables
currently, which is bad as that is changing variables that matter for
the main console UI. This patch fixes those.
This actually fixes a nasty bug -- starting gdb in MI mode ("gdb
-i=mi"), and then doing "set editing on" crashes GDB, because MI is
not prepared to use readline:
set editing on
&"set editing on\n"
=cmd-param-changed,param="editing",value="on"
^done
(gdb)
p 1
readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
Aborted (core dumped)
The fix for that was to add an interp_proc method to query the
interpreter whether it actually supports editing. New test included.

* gdb.mi/mi-editing.exp: New file.
When we have multiple consoles, MI channels, etc., then we need to
broadcast breakpoint hits, etc. to all UIs. In the past, I've
adjusted most of the run control to communicate events to the
interpreters through observer notifications, so events would be
properly sent to console and MI streams, in sync and async modes.
This patch does the next logical step -- have each interpreter's
observers output interpreter-specific info to _all_ UIs.
Note that when we have multiple instances of active cli/tui
interpreters, then the cli_interp and tui_interp globals no longer
work. This is addressed by this patch.
Also, the interpreters currently register some observers when resumed
and remove them when suspended. If we have multiple instances of the
interpreters, and they can be suspended/resumed at different,
independent times, that no longer works. What we instead do is always
install the observers, and then have the observers themselves know
when to do nothing.
An earlier prototype of this series did the looping over struct UIs in
common code, and then dispatched events to the interpreters through a
matching interp_on_foo method for each observer. That turned out a
lot more complicated than the present solution, as we'd end up with
having to create a new interp method every time some interpreter
wanted to listen to some observer notification, resulting in a lot of
duplicated make-work and more coupling than desirable.

If every UI instance has its own set of interpreters, then the current
scheme of creating the interpreters at GDB initialization time no
longer works. We need to create them whenever a new UI instance is
created.
The scheme implemented here has each interpreter register a factory
callback that when called creates a new instance of a specific
interpreter type. Then, when some code in gdb looks up an interpreter
(always by name), if there's none yet, the factory method is called to
construct one.

I stumbled upon this while doing some cxx-conversion work. Since the
x-family alloc functions throw on failure, it is useless to test their
result for failure. The else branch of != NULL is basically dead code.
I changed the type of element_block_ptr to struct tui_win_element, which
seems obvious (this is actually what raised the flag, casting the result
of xmalloc to struct tui_win_element* wouldn't work).

* tui/tui-data.c (tui_alloc_content): Don't check xmalloc
result. Change type of element_block_ptr. Change allocation to

This adds an object oriented replacement for the "struct continuation"
mechanism, and converts the stepping commands (step, next, stepi,
nexti) and the "finish" commands to use it.
It adds a new thread "class" (struct thread_fsm) that contains the
necessary info and callbacks to manage the state machine of a thread's
execution command.
This allows getting rid of some hacks. E.g., in fetch_inferior_event
and normal_stop we no longer need to know whether a thread is doing a
multi-step (e.g., step N). This effectively makes the
intermediate_continuations unused -- they'll be garbage collected in a
separate patch. (They were never a proper abstraction, IMO. See how
fetch_inferior_event needs to check step_multi before knowing whether
to call INF_EXEC_CONTINUE or INF_EXEC_COMPLETE.)
The target async vs !async uiout hacks in mi_on_normal_stop go away
too.
print_stop_event is no longer called from normal_stop. Instead it is
now called from within each interpreter's normal_stop observer. This
clears the path to make each interpreter print a stop event the way it
sees fit. Currently we have some hacks in common code to
differenciate CLI vs TUI vs MI around this area.
The "finish" command's FSM class stores the return value plus that
value's position in the value history, so that those can be printed to
both MI and CLI's streams. This fixes the CLI "finish" command when
run from MI -- it now also includes the function's return value in the
CLI stream:

This patch fixes the following bug in TUI:
(gdb) break foo
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) <ENTER>
By submitting an empty command line to a secondary prompt, the line
corresponding to the secondary prompt is undesirably cleared and
overwritten. Outside of a secondary prompt, clearing the prompt line
after submitting an empty command line is intended behavior which
complements GDB's repeat-command shorthand. But inside a secondary
prompt, this behavior is undesired since the shorthand is not applicable
in that case. We should retain the secondary-prompt line even when it's
given no input.
This patch makes sure that a prompt that was given an empty command line
is cleared and overwritten only if it's not a secondary prompt. To
acheive this, a new predicate is defined which informs us whether the
current input handler is a secondary prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.h (gdb_in_secondary_prompt_p): Declare.

This is necessary to make sure that start_line is updated after a
command has been entered. Usually, start_line gets updated anyway
because most commands output text, and outputting text is done through
the function tui_puts, which updates start_line. However if a command
does not output text, then tui_puts will not get called and start_line
will not get updated in time for the next prompt to be displayed.
One can observe this bug by executing the command "delete" within TUI.
After executing, the prompt line
(gdb) delete
gets overwritten by the next prompt. With this patch, the prompt line
gets preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Use tui_putc instead of waddch to
emit the newline.
These fields are currently used to track the location of the cursor
inside the command window. But their usefulness is questionable because
ncurses already internally keeps track of the location of the cursor,
whose coordinates we can query using the functions getyx(), getcurx() or
getcury(). It is an unnecessary pain to keep these fields in sync with
ncurses, and their meaning is not well-defined anyway. For instance, it
is not clear whether the coordinates held in these fields are
authoritative, or whether the coordinates reported by ncurses are.
So to keep things simple, this patch removes these fields and replaces
existing reads of these fields with calls to the appropriate ncurses
querying functions, and replaces writes to these fields with calls to
wmove() (when necessary and applicable).
In the function tui_cont_sig(), I removed the call to wmove() entirely
because moving to (start_line, curch) makes no sense. The move should
have been to (cur_line, curch) -- which would now be a no-op.

When I replaced TUI's frame_changed hook to fix PR tui/13378 I assumed
that there's no reason to refresh register information following a call
to "up", "down" or "frame". This assumption was made to fix the problem
of refreshing frame information twice following a sync-execution normal
stop (once in tui_normal_stop and then in tui_before_prompt) -- the
second refresh removing any highlights made by the first.
I was wrong about that -- GDB's snapshot of register information is
per-frame, and when the frame changes, registers do too (most
prominently the %rip and %rsp registers). So e.g. GDB 7.8 would
highlight such register changes after invoking "up", "down" or "frame",
and current GDB does not.
To fix this regression, this patch adds another (sufficient) condition
for refreshing register information: in
tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information, always refresh register
information if frame information has changed. This makes register
information get refreshed following a call to "up", "down" or "frame"
while still avoiding the "double refresh" issue following a normal stop.
This condition may seem to obsolete the existing registers_too_p
parameter, but it does not: following a normal stop, it is possible that
registers may have changed while frame information had not. We could be
on the exact same PC with different register values. The new condition
would not catch such a case, but the registers_too_p condition will. So
both conditions seem necessary (and either one is sufficient).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information):
Update commentary. Always refresh the registers when frame

The select_frame hook is used by TUI to update TUI's frame and register
information following changes to the selected frame. The problem with
this hook is that it gets called after every single frame change, even
if the frame change is only temporary or internal. This is the primary
cause of flickering and slowdown when running the inferior under TUI
with conditional breakpoints set. Internal GDB events are the source of
many calls to select_frame and these internal events are triggered
frequently, especially when a few conditional breakpoints are set.
This patch removes the select_frame hook altogether and instead makes
the frame and register information get updated in two key places (using
observers): after an inferior stops, and right before displaying a
prompt. The latter hook covers the case when frame information must be
updated following a call to "up", "down" or "frame", and the former
covers the case when frame and register information must be updated
after a call to "continue", "step", etc. or after the inferior stops in
async execution mode. Together these hooks should cover all the cases
when frame information ought to be refreshed (and when the relevant
windows ought to be subsequently updated).
The print_frame_info_listing hook is also effectively obsolete now, but
it still must be set while the TUI is active because its caller
print_frame_info will otherwise assume that the CLI is active, and will
print the frame informaion accordingly. So this patch also sets the
print_frame_info_listing hook to a dummy callback, in lieu of outright
removing it yet.
Effectively, with this patch, frame/PC changes that do not immediately
precede an inferior-stop event or a prompt display event no longer cause
TUI's frame and register information to be updated.
And as a result of this change and of the previous change to
tui_show_frame_info, the TUI is much more disciplined about updating the
screen, and so the flicker as described in the PR is totally gone.

tui_show_frame_info is responsible for updating the visible windows
following a change in frame information (that being the currently
selected frame, PC, line number, etc). Currently it always redraws and
refreshes each window even if frame information has not changed. This
behavior is inefficient and helps contribute to the occassional
flickering of the TUI as described in the mentioned PR.
This patch makes tui_show_frame_info refresh the windows only if frame
information has changed. Determining whether frame information has
changed is done indirectly by determining whether the locator has
changed. This approach is convenient and yet sensible because the
locator contains all the relevant info we need to check anyway: the
current PC, the line number, the name of the executable and the name of
the current function. Probably only the PC is really necessary to
check, but it doesn't hurt to check every field.
Effectively, with this patch, consecutive calls to select_frame with the
same frame/PC no longer cause TUI's frame information to be updated
multiple times.

* tui/tui-stack.c (tui_set_locator_info): Change prototype to
return an int instead of void. Return whether the locator
window has changed.
(tui_show_frame_info): If the locator info has not changed, then
bail out early to avoid refreshing the windows.
