Use std::string for the id field of the ui_out_table object.
I found that all users of ui_out_table_begin passed a non-NULL value to
the tblid parameter, so we don't have to worry about the NULL case. I
changed the tblid parameter to be a std::string while at it.

Use a standard vector instead of the home-made version. I used a vector

Convert the levels field of struct ui_out to be a vector of unique_ptr

The following patches introduce C++ vectors and strings as fields of the
various ui_out structures. We therefore need to use new/delete so that
their contructor/destructor is called. I find it simpler to change all

individual patch.

Since we don't use suffix rules nor implicit rules in gdb, we can
disable them. The advantage is a slightly faster make [1].
Here are some numbers about the speedup. I ran this on my trusty old
Intel Q6600, so the time numbers are probably higher than what you'd get
on any recent hardware. I ran "make" in the gdb/ directory of an
already built repository (configured with --enable-targets=all). I
recorded the time of execution (average of 5). I then ran "make -d" and
recorded the number of printed lines, which gives a rough idea of the
number of operations done.
I compared the following configurations, to see the impact of both the
empty .SUFFIXES target and the empty pattern rules, as well as running
"make -r", which can be considered the "ideal" case.
A - baseline
B - baseline + .SUFFIXES
C - baseline + pattern rules
D - baseline + .SUFFIXES + pattern rules
E - baseline + make -r
config | time (s) | "make -d"
-----------------------------
A | 5.74 | 2396643
B | 1.19 | 298469
C | 2.81 | 1266573
D | 1.13 | 245489
E | 1.01 | 163914
We can see that the empty .SUFFIXES target has a bigger impact than the
empty pattern rules, but still it doesn't hurt to disable the implicit
pattern rules as well.
There are still some mentions of implicit rules I can't get rid of in
the "make -d" output. For example, it's trying to build .c files from
.w files:
Looking for an implicit rule for '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'infrun'.
Trying implicit prerequisite '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.w'.
and trying to build Makefile.in from a bunch of extensions:
Looking for an implicit rule for 'Makefile.in'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.cc'.
... many more ...
If somebody knows how to disable them, we can do it, but at this point
the returns are minimal, so it is not that important.
I verified that both in-tree and out-of-tree builds work.
[1] Switching from explicit rules to pattern rules for files in
subdirectories actually made it slower, so this is kind of a way to
redeem myself. But it the end it's faster than it was previously,
so it was all worth it. :)

With the previous change, value.location.address is only valid for

value.regnum and value.next_frame_id are only used for lval_register,
so this patch moves them to union value.location. As a result, when
we copy value, only copy location, don't need to copy regnum and
next_frame_id.
This patch also changes regnum's type to int as there is no space

Nowadays, we set computed value's frame id, which is a misuse to me.
The computed value itself doesn't care about frame id, but function
value_computed_funcs (val)->read (or read_pieced_value) cares about
which frame the register is relative to, so 'struct piece_closure' is
a better place to fit frame id.
This patch adds a frame id in 'struct piece_closure', and use it
instead of using computed value's frame id.

It's not actually used, and removing it simplifies the upcoming patches

The function copy_bitwise used for copying DWARF pieces can potentially
be invoked for large chunks of data. For instance, consider a large
struct one of whose members is currently located in a register. In this
case copy_bitwise would still copy the data bitwise in a loop, which is
much slower than necessary.
This change uses memcpy for the large part instead, if possible.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (copy_bitwise): Use memcpy for the middle part, if
it is byte-aligned.
This adds a unit test for the copy_bitwise function in dwarf2loc.c.
With the old (broken) version of copy_bitwise this test would generate
the following failure message:
(gdb) maintenance selftest
Self test failed: copy_bitwise 11000000 != 10000000 (7+2 -> 0)
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-11-24 Andreas Arnez <arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* dwarf2loc.c (bits_to_str, check_copy_bitwise)

When the user writes or reads a variable whose location is described
with DWARF pieces (DW_OP_piece or DW_OP_bit_piece), GDB's helper
function copy_bitwise is invoked for each piece. The implementation of
this function has a bug that may result in a corrupted copy, depending
on alignment and bit size. (Full-byte copies are not affected.)
This rewrites copy_bitwise, replacing its algorithm by a fixed version,
and adding an appropriate test case. Without the fix the new test case
fails, e.g.:
print def_t
$2 = {a = 0, b = 4177919}
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: print def_t
Written in binary, the wrong result above looks like this:
01111111011111111111111
Which means that two zero bits have sneaked into the copy of the
original all-one bit pattern. The test uses this simple all-one value
in order to avoid another GDB bug that causes the DWARF piece of a
DW_OP_stack_value to be taken from the wrong end on big-endian
architectures.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (extract_bits_primitive): Remove.
(extract_bits): Remove.
(copy_bitwise): Rewrite. Fixes a possible corruption that may
occur for non-byte-aligned copies.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: Add a test for accessing
non-byte-aligned bit fields.
The DW_AT_data_bit_offset attribute was introduced by DWARF V4 and
allows specifying the offset of a data member within its containing
entity. But although the new attribute was intended to replace
DW_AT_bit_offset for this purpose, GDB ignores it, and thus GCC still
emits DW_AT_bit_offset instead. See also
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71669.
This change fixes GDB's lack of support for DW_AT_data_bit_offset and
adds an appropriate test case.

This patch fixes a few problems with GDB's time handling.
#1 - It avoids problems with gnulib's C++ namespace support
On MinGW, the struct timeval that should be passed to gnulib's
gettimeofday replacement is incompatible with libiberty's
timeval_sub/timeval_add. That's because gnulib also replaces "struct
timeval" with its own definition, while libiberty expects the
system's.
E.g., in code like this:
gettimeofday (&prompt_ended, NULL);
timeval_sub (&prompt_delta, &prompt_ended, &prompt_started);
timeval_add (&prompt_for_continue_wait_time,
&prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_delta);
That's currently handled in gdb by not using gnulib's gettimeofday at
all (see common/gdb_sys_time.h), but that #undef hack won't work with
if/when we enable gnulib's C++ namespace support, because that mode
adds compile time warnings for uses of ::gettimeofday, which are hard
errors with -Werror.
#2 - But there's an elephant in the room: gettimeofday is not monotonic...
We're using it to:
a) check how long functions take, for performance analysis
b) compute when in the future to fire events in the event-loop
c) print debug timestamps
But that's exactly what gettimeofday is NOT meant for. Straight from
the man page:
~~~
The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by
discontinuous jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system
administrator manually changes the system time). If you need a
monotonically increasing clock, see clock_gettime(2).
~~~
std::chrono (part of the C++11 standard library) has a monotonic clock
exactly for such purposes (std::chrono::steady_clock). This commit
switches to use that instead of gettimeofday, fixing all the issues
mentioned above.

I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical. Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle. As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).
I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order. The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.
A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.
I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect. I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.
Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail. The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order. We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.
New in v2:
- Change ordering style, directories go at the end.
- Cleanup gdbserver's and data-directory's Makefile as well.
- Add comments at top of Makefiles about the ordering.
- Remove wrong trailing backslahes.
- Fix test gdb.base/default.exp.
