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.

We renamed VALUE_FRAME_ID to VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID recently,
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-11/msg00018.html
and we should use VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID in value_from_component
too.

* value.c (value_from_component): Use VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID

A little oversight from my part, it caused the Makefile not to track
the dependencies from mi/*.c files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (%o: $(srcdir)/mi/%.c): Add missing POSTCOMPILE
step.
Nowadays, we create a value of subobject in pretty printer with 'address'
being used,
value = value_from_contents_and_address (type, valaddr + embedded_offset,
address + embedded_offset);
set_value_component_location (value, val);
/* set_value_component_location resets the address, so we may
need to set it again. */
if (VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_internalvar
&& VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_internalvar_component
&& VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_computed)
set_value_address (value, address + embedded_offset);
value_from_contents_and_address creates a value from memory, but the
value we are pretty-printing may not from memory at all.
Instead of using value_from_contents_and_address, we create a value
of subobject with the same location as object's but different offset.
We avoid using address in this way. As a result, parameter 'address'
in apply_val_pretty_printer is no longer needed, we can remove it in
next step.
We've already had the location of the 'whole' value, so it is safe
to assume we can create a value of 'component' or 'suboject' value
at the same location but with different offset.

We shouldn't be using these, since their output goes straight to

the ARI to detect any such use.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* contrib/ari/gdb_ari.sh: Add detection of printf_vma and
sprintf_vma.
When adding a .c file in subdirectory (e.g. mi/), the current practice
is to add an explicit rule, such as:
mi-cmd-break.o: $(srcdir)/mi/mi-cmd-break.c
$(COMPILE) $(srcdir)/mi/mi-cmd-break.c
$(POSTCOMPILE)
I find it a bit verbose and cumbersome. Since we now require GNU make,
we can change those rules with pattern rules, one for each subdirectory.
For example, the following rule works for all files under mi:
%.o: $(srcdir)/mi/%.c
$(COMPILE) $<
$(POSTCOMPILE)
Those pattern rules assume that the source and target files have the
same stem (foo.c and foo.o). In one case, common-agent.o is generated
from common/agent.c, to avoid a conflict with the agent.o in gdb/. In
this case, I kept the explicit rule, which takes precedence over the
pattern rule. We could also rename common/agent.c to
common/common-agent.c to get rid of the special case and still avoid the
clash, as it is done with common/common-regcache.c, for example.
This strategy was the least intrusive I found, as it only requires
changing the rules, not the target names.
I also considered two other solutions, which I did not like because I
would have had to change target names a bit everywhere.
- Replicate the source directory structure in the build directory,
which would generate common/agent.o from common/agent.c. However,
something was not right with the dependency tracking (the .deps
directory). It's probably not hard to fix, but I did not
investigate further.
- Name the object files after the directory they are in, so that
common/agent.c would generate common_agent.c.
GDBserver can benefit from the same treatment, but I'll do it in another
patch.
Built-tested with --enable-targets=all.
New in v2:
- Regroup pattern rules for .c -> .o compilation in a single place.

As mentioned here [1], suffix rules are obsolete and have been
superseeded with pattern rules. People (myself included, before writing
this patch) are more likely to know what pattern rules are than suffix
rules.
AFAIK, .SUFFIXES targets are only used for those rules, and can be
removed as well.

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...

prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@. Update comment related to non-GNU

As discussed in [1], it would be benificial for the GDB project to start
requiring GNU make to build its software. It would allow using useful
GNU-specific constructs, such as pattern rules. It would also allow
removing the alternative code paths in the Makefiles (guarded by
GMAKE_TRUE/GMAKE_FALSE), simplifying the Makefile code.

The problem is the '#define mkdir ...'
Fortunately, we can just remove it, since gnulib's sys/stat.h
replacement already takes care of the Windows mkdir prototype quirk:
~~~
/* mingw's _mkdir() function has 1 argument, but we pass 2 arguments.
Additionally, it declares _mkdir (and depending on compile flags, an
alias mkdir), only in the nonstandard includes <direct.h> and <io.h>,
which are included above. */

# if !GNULIB_defined_rpl_mkdir
static int
rpl_mkdir (char const *name, mode_t mode)
{
return _mkdir (name);
}
~~~
That's sys_stat.in.h, part of the sys_stat module, which we explictly
pull in nowadays. It wasn't being pulled when this macro was added:

We're unconditionaly using the result afterwards -- so it's not a case

new[] and unique_ptr<[]> instead, while at it.

This patch ensures that the frame id for the current frame is stashed
before that of the previous frame (to the current frame).
First, it should be noted that the frame id for the current frame is
not stashed by get_current_frame(). The current frame's frame id is
lazily computed and stashed via calls to get_frame_id(). However,
it's possible for get_prev_frame() to be called without first stashing
the current frame.
The frame stash is used not only to speed up frame lookups, but
also to detect cycles. When attempting to compute the frame id
for a "previous" frame (in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle), a cycle
is detected if the computed frame id is already in the stash.
If it should happen that a previous frame id is stashed which should
represent a cycle for the current frame, then an assertion failure
will trigger should get_frame_id() be later called to determine
the frame id for the current frame.
As of late 2016, with the "Tweak meaning of VALUE_FRAME_ID" patch in
place, this actually occurs when running the
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dup-frame.exp test. While attempting to generate a
backtrace, the python frame filter code is invoked, leading to
frame_info_to_frame_object() (in python/py-frame.c) being called.
That function will potentially call get_prev_frame() before
get_frame_id() is called. The call to get_prev_frame() can eventually
end up in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle() which, in turn, calls
compute_frame_id(), after which the frame id is stashed for the
previous frame.
If the frame id for the current frame is stashed, the cycle detection
code (which relies on the frame stash) in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle()
will be triggered for a cycle starting with the current frame. If the
current frame's id is not stashed, the cycle detecting code can't
operate as designed. Instead, when get_frame_id() is called on the
current frame at some later point, the current frame's id will found
to be already in the stash, triggering an assertion failure.
Below is an in depth examination of the failure which lead to this change.
I've shortened pathnames for brevity and readability.
Here's the portion of the log file showing the failure/internal error:

Examination of the code in frame_info_to_frame_object(), which is in
python/py-frame.c, is key to understanding this problem:
if (get_prev_frame (frame) == NULL
&& get_frame_unwind_stop_reason (frame) != UNWIND_NO_REASON
&& get_next_frame (frame) != NULL)
{
frame_obj->frame_id = get_frame_id (get_next_frame (frame));
frame_obj->frame_id_is_next = 1;
}
else
{
frame_obj->frame_id = get_frame_id (frame);
frame_obj->frame_id_is_next = 0;
}
I will first note that the frame id for frame has not been computed yet. (This
was verified by placing a breakpoint on compute_frame_id().)
The call to get_prev_frame() causes the the frame id to (eventually) be
computed for the previous frame. Here's a backtrace showing how we
get there:
#0 compute_frame_id (fi=0x10e2810)
at gdb/frame.c:496
#1 0x0000000000724a67 in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle (this_frame=0xe5a760)

#5 0x00000000004eb471 in frame_info_to_frame_object (frame=0xe5a760)
at gdb/python/py-frame.c:381
For this particular case, we end up in the else clause of the code above
which calls get_frame_id (frame). It's at this point that the frame id
for frame is computed. Again, here's a backtrace:
#0 compute_frame_id (fi=0xe5a760)
at gdb/frame.c:496
#1 0x000000000072203d in get_frame_id (fi=0xe5a760)

The test in question, dw2-dup-frame.exp, deliberately creates a broken
(cyclic) stack. So, in this instance, the frame id for the prev
`frame' will be the same as that for `frame'. But that particular
frame id ended up in the stash during the previous frame operation.
When, just a few lines later, we compute the frame id for `frame', the
id in question is already in the stash, thus triggering the assertion
failure.
I considered two other solutions to solving this problem:
We could prevent get_prev_frame() from being called before
get_frame_id() in frame_info_to_frame_object(). (See above for the
snippet of code where this happens.) A call to get_frame_id (frame)
could be placed ahead of that code snippet above. I have tested this
approach and, while it does work, I can't be certain that
get_prev_frame() isn't called ahead of stashing the current frame
somewhere else in GDB, but in a less obvious way.
Another approach is to stash the current frame's id by calling
get_frame_id() in get_current_frame(). This approach is conceptually
simpler, but when importing a python unwinder, has the unwelcome side
effect of causing the unwinder to be called during import.
A cleaner looking fix would be to place this code after code
corresponding to the "Don't compute the frame id of the current frame
yet..." comment in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle(). Sadly, this does not
work though; by the time we get to this point, the frame state for the
prev frame has been modified just enough to cause an internal error to
occur when attempting to compute the (current) frame id for inline
frames. (The unexpected failure count increases by roughly 130
failures.) Therefore, I decided to place it as early as possible
in get_prev_frame().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* frame.c (get_prev_frame): Stash frame id for current frame
prior to computing frame id for previous frame.
The C function, pending_framepy_read_register(), which implements
the python interface gdb.PendingFrame.read_register does not handle
the so called "user" registers like "pc". An assertion error is
triggered due to the user registers having numbers larger than or
equal to gdbarch_num_regs(gdbarch).
With the VALUE_FRAME_ID tweak in place, the call to
get_frame_register_value() can simply be replaced by a call to
value_of_register(), which handles both real registers as well as the
user registers.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-unwind.c (pending_framepy_read_register): Use
value_of_register() instead of get_frame_register_value().
The VALUE_FRAME_ID macro provides access to a member in struct value
that's used to hold the frame id that's used when determining a
register's value or when assigning to a register. The underlying
member has a long and obscure name. I won't refer to it here, but
will simply refer to VALUE_FRAME_ID as if it's the struct value member
instead of being a convenient macro.
At the moment, without this patch in place, VALUE_FRAME_ID is set in
value_of_register_lazy() and several other locations to hold the frame
id of the frame passed to those functions.
VALUE_FRAME_ID is used in the lval_register case of
value_fetch_lazy(). To fetch the register's value, it calls
get_frame_register_value() which, in turn, calls
frame_unwind_register_value() with frame->next.
A python based unwinder may wish to determine the value of a register
or evaluate an expression containing a register. When it does this,
value_fetch_lazy() will be called under some circumstances. It will
attempt to determine the frame id associated with the frame passed to
it. In so doing, it will end up back in the frame sniffer of the very
same python unwinder that's attempting to learn the value of a
register as part of the sniffing operation. This recursion is not
desirable.
As noted above, when value_fetch_lazy() wants to fetch a register's
value, it does so (indirectly) by unwinding from frame->next.
With this in mind, a solution suggests itself: Change VALUE_FRAME_ID
to hold the frame id associated with the next frame. Then, when it
comes time to obtain the value associated with the register, we can
simply unwind from the frame corresponding to the frame id stored in
VALUE_FRAME_ID. This neatly avoids the python unwinder recursion
problem by changing when the "next" operation occurs. Instead of the
"next" operation occuring when the register value is fetched, it
occurs earlier on when assigning a frame id to VALUE_FRAME_ID.
(Thanks to Pedro for this suggestion.)
This patch implements this idea.
It builds on the patch "Distinguish sentinel frame from null frame".
Without that work in place, it's necessary to check for null_id at
several places and then obtain the sentinel frame.
It also renames most occurences of VALUE_FRAME_ID to
VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID to reflect the new meaning of this field.
There are several uses of VALUE_FRAME_ID which were not changed. In
each case, the original meaning of VALUE_FRAME_ID is required to get
correct results. In all but one of these uses, either
put_frame_register_bytes() or get_frame_register_bytes() is being
called with the frame value obtained from VALUE_FRAME_ID. Both of
these functions perform some unwinding by performing a "->next"
operation on the frame passed to it. If we were to use the new
VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID macro, this would effectively do two "->next"
operations, which is not what we want.
The VALUE_FRAME_ID macro has been redefined in terms of
VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID. It simply fetches the previous frame's id,
providing this id as the value of the macro.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* value.h (VALUE_FRAME_ID): Rename to VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID. Update
comment. Create new VALUE_FRAME_ID which is defined in terms of
VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID.
(deprecated_value_frame_id_hack): Rename to
deprecated_value_next_frame_id_hack.
* dwarf2loc.c, findvar.c, frame-unwind.c, sentinel-frame.c,
valarith.c, valops.c, value.c: Adjust nearly all occurences of
VALUE_FRAME_ID to VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID. Add comments for those
which did not change.
* value.c (struct value): Rename frame_id field to next_frame_id.
Update comment.
(deprecated_value_frame_id_hack): Rename to
deprecated_value_next_frame_id_hack.
(value_fetch_lazy): Call frame_unwind_register_value()
instead of get_frame_register_value().
* frame.c (get_prev_frame_id_by_id): New function.
* frame.h (get_prev_frame_id_by_id): Declare.
* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full): Make
VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID refer to the next frame.
* findvar.c (value_of_register_lazy): Likewise.

(value_from_register): Likewise.
* frame_unwind.c (frame_unwind_got_optimized): Likewise.

* value.h (VALUE_FRAME_ID): Update comment describing this macro.
This patch replaces the `current_frame' static global in frame.c with
`sentinel_frame'. It also makes the sentinel frame id unique and
different from the null frame.
By itself, there is not much point to this patch, but it makes
the code cleaner for the VALUE_FRAME_ID changes in another patch.
Since we now allow "navigation" to the sentinel frame, it removes
the necessity of adding special cases to other parts of GDB.
Note that a new function, get_next_frame_sentinel_okay, is introduced
in this patch. It will be used by the VALUE_FRAME_ID changes that
I've made.
Thanks to Pedro Alves for this suggestion.

This patch modifies the unwinder (sniffer) defined in
py-recurse-unwind.py so that, depending upon the value of one of its
class variables, it will take different paths through the code,
testing different functionality.
The original test attempted to obtain the value of an undefined
symbol.
This somewhat expanded test checks to see if 'pc' can be read via
gdb.PendingFrame.read_register() and also via gdb.parse_and_eval().
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.c (main): Add loop.
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.py (TestUnwinder): Add calls
to read_register() and gdb.parse_and_eval(). Make each code
call a separate case that can be individually tested.
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.exp (cont_and_backtrace): New
proc. Call cont_and_backtrace for each of the code paths that
we want to test in the unwinder.
Now that we require C++11 and all uses of gdb::unique_ptr and
gdb::move are gone, let's remove their definitions...
With my lazy hat on, I repurposed the header for "generally useful
unique_ptr specializations", and left gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr in
there. Not sure whether we it'd be better move it out of the gdb
namespace or leave it be. I left it because it's less work and avoids
disrupting yet-unmerged patches that use it.

The "struct S" type in bitfield-parent-optimized-out.exp is declared to
have a size of 4 bytes but to hold two 4-byte members: an int-based
bitfield and a 4-byte int. Also, both members have the same
data_member_location 2, causing them to overlap and to reach 2 bytes
beyond the structure's boundary.
This is fixed by increasing the structure size to 8 and setting the
first and second member's data_member_location to 0 and 4, respectively.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/bitfield-parent-optimized-out.exp: Fix DWARF code for
the definition of struct S.
The data_head of a perf event data buffer grows indefinitely. Users are
expected to compute data_head % data_size to find the location inside the perf
event data buffer.
The aux_head of a perf event aux buffer wraps around and always stays within the
perf event aux buffer.
Well, at least that's the behaviour for BTS and PT - where BTS uses the data
buffer and PT the aux buffer.
GDB does not read beyond data_head or aux_head. This is OK for BTS but wrong
for PT. It causes only a portion of the trace to be considered by GDB. In the
extreme case, the buffer may appear (almost) empty.
Thanks to Tim Wiederhake <tim.wiederhake@intel.com> for reporting the anomaly.
Change it to read the entire aux buffer for PT. The buffer is initially zero so
any extra zeroes we read before aux_head wraps around the first time will be
ignored when searching for the first PSB packet in order to synchronize onto the
trace stream.

* nat/linux-btrace.c (perf_event_read): Allow data_head < size.

While adding new tests to gdb.base/commands.exp, I noticed that the
file includes a bunch of individual testcases split into their own
procedures, and that none have ever been adjusted to use
with_test_prefix. Instead, each gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc
invocation takes care of including the procedure name in the test
message, in order to make sure test messages are unique.
Simon convinced me that using the procedure name as prefix is not that
bad of an idea:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00020.html
This commit adds an IMO simpler alternative to
with_test_prefix_procname added by that patch -- a new
"proc_with_prefix" convenience proc that is meant to be used in place
of "proc", and then uses it in commands.exp. Procedures defined with
this automatically run their bodies under with_test_prefix $proc_name.

This removes dead code in tui_alloc_source_buffer for handling a NULL

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.

I happened to notice that one test in py-value.exp did not work
properly with Python 3. This patch fixes the problem.
2016-11-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_creation): Make "long" test
depend on Python 2.
While writing a Python frame filter, I found a few bugs in the current
frame filter code. In particular:
* One spot converts a Python long to a CORE_ADDR using PyLong_AsLong.
However, this can fail on overflow. I changed this to use
get_addr_from_python.
* Another spot is doing the same but with PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong; I
changed this as well just for consistency.
* Converting line numbers can print "-1" if conversion from long
fails. This isn't fatal but just a bit ugly.
I've included a test case for the first issue. The line number one
didn't seem important enough to bother with.
2016-11-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_frame): Use
get_addr_from_python. Check for errors when getting line number.
2016-11-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* gdb.python/py-framefilter.py (ElidingFrameDecorator.address):
New method.
This patch calls get_frame_register_value instead of
deprecated_frame_register_read, so that we can pass
value_contents_for_printing to val_print. Both
get_frame_register_value and deprecated_frame_register_read call
frame_unwind_register_value indirectly, so no functionality is changed
by this patch.
gdb:
2016-11-08 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* mt-tdep.c (mt_registers_info): Call
get_frame_register_value instead of
deprecated_frame_register_read.
* sh64-tdep.c (sh64_do_register): Likewise.
After the previous patch, we end up with these two types with quite
similar, and potentially confusing names:
typedef gdb::unique_ptr<agent_expr> agent_expr_up;
/* Pointer to an agent_expr structure. */
typedef struct agent_expr *agent_expr_p;
The latter is only necessary to put agent_expr pointers in VECs. So
just eliminate it and use std::vector instead.

This patch makes the gen_* functions return a unique_ptr instead of
raw pointer:
typedef gdb::unique_ptr<agent_expr> agent_expr_up;
and then adjusts the codebase throughout to stop using
make_cleanup_free_agent_expr.
The cond_bytecode and cmd_bytecode fields of struct bp_location are
owning pointers, so they're changed to be unique_ptr's instead of raw
pointers.

This replaces most of the remaining ui_file_xstrdup calls with
ui_file_as_string calls. Whenever a call was replaced, that led to a
cascade of other necessary adjustments throughout, to make the code
use std::string instead of raw pointers. And then whenever I added a
std::string as member of a struct, I needed to adjust
allocation/destruction of said struct to use new/delete instead of
xmalloc/xfree.
The stopping point was once gdb built again. These doesn't seem to be
a way to reasonably split this out further.
Maybe-not-obvious changes:
- demangle_for_lookup returns a cleanup today. To get rid of that,
and avoid unnecessary string dupping/copying, this introduces a
demangle_result_storage type that the caller instantiates and
passes to demangle_for_lookup.
- Many methods returned a "char *" to indicate that the caller owns
the memory and must free it. Those are switched to return a
std::string instead. Methods that return a "view" into some
internal string return a "const char *" instead. I.e., we only
copy/allocate when necessary.

Using ui_file_as_string would imply changing a few prototypes to pass
around source and object file names as std::string. Instead of that,
wrap those two in a new class. This ends up eliminating a small

Noticed we could do this while working on the expression_up change.
The main goal here was getting rid of the
encode_actions_and_make_cleanup / do_clear_collection_list cleanups.
While at it, uncrustify the code:
- Make collection_list a C++ class, with data members private (and
thus renamed m_...).
- Make related functions be member methods.
- Use std::vector instead of an open coding a vector implementation.
- Use std::sort instead of qsort.
- Rename the "list" member of collection_list, which is an incredibly
obfuscating name.
- Rename a couple other things here and there for clarify.
- Use "bool" more.

ui_file_as_string is a variant of ui_file_xstrdup that returns a
std::string instead of a xmalloc'ed char *. The idea is using the new
function to eliminate "make_cleanup (xfree, ...)" cleanups
throughout.
Following patches will make use of this.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-11-08 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* ui-file.c (do_ui_file_as_string, ui_file_as_string): New
functions.
* ui-file.h: Include <string>.
(ui_file_as_string): New declaration.
This patch makes parse_expression and friends return a unique_ptr
instead of raw pointer [1]:
typedef gdb::unique_malloc_ptr<expression> expression_up;
and then adjusts the codebase throughout to stop using cleanups to
manage lifetime of expression pointers.
Whenever I found a structure owning an expression pointer, I made it
store a unique_ptr instead of a raw pointer, which then requires using
new/delete of the holding structure, instead of XNEW/xfree.
[1] - I'd like to set the rule that types named with an "_up" suffix
are unique_ptr typedefs.
Note I used gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr instead of gdb::unique_ptr, simply
because we still use xmalloc instead of new to allocate expression
objects. Once that's changed, all we need to do is change the
expression_up typedef and the smart pointer will then call delete
instead of xfree.

(print_variable_or_computed): Use expression_up.
* objc-lang.c (print_object_command): Use expression_up instead of
cleanups.
* parse.c (parse_exp_1, parse_exp_in_context)
(parse_exp_in_context_1, parse_expression)
(parse_expression_with_language): Return an expression_up instead
of a raw pointer.
(parse_expression_for_completion): Use expression_up.
* printcmd.c (struct display) <exp>: Now an expression_up instead
of a raw pointer.
(print_command_1, output_command_const, set_command, x_command):
Use expression_up instead of cleanups.
(display_command): Likewise. Use new instead of XNEW.
(free_display): Use delete instead of xfree.
(do_one_display): Adjust to use expression_up.
* remote.c (remote_download_tracepoint): Likewise.
* stack.c (return_command): Likewise.
* tracepoint.c (validate_actionline, encode_actions_1): Use
expression_up instead of cleanups.
* typeprint.c (whatis_exp, maintenance_print_type): Likewise.
* value.c (init_if_undefined_command): Likewise.
* varobj.c (struct varobj_root) <exp>: Now an expression_up
instead of a raw pointer.
(varobj_create): Adjust.
(varobj_set_value): Use an expression_up instead of cleanups.
(new_root_variable): Use new instead of XNEW.
(free_variable): Use delete instead of xfree.
(value_of_root_1): Use std::swap.
This is constification needed for next patch. Adjust
commands_command_1 to use std::string too because the "arg" parameter
is currently overwritten and then passed to make_cleanup. The
constification alone would trigger a compile error in the make_cleanup
call otherwise (passing const char * to void * parameter). Using
std::string gets rid of the cleanup in the first place, resulting in
simpler code.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-11-08 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (struct commands_info) <arg>: Constify.
(commands_command_1): Constify 'arg' parameter. Use std::string
and string_printf.
(commands_from_control_command): Constify 'arg' parameter.
(map_breakpoint_numbers): Constify 'args' parameter.
* breakpoint.h (commands_from_control_command): Constify 'arg'
parameter.
This introduces the string_printf function. Like asprintf, but
returns a std::string.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-11-08 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* Makefile.in (COMMON_OBS): Add utils-selftests.o.
* common/common-utils.c (string_printf): New function.
* common/common-utils.h: Include <string>.
(string_printf): Declare.
* utils-selftests.c: New file.
This patch is to split the loop of calling gdbarch_addr_bits_remove
and insert_single_step_breakpoint into two loops.
gdb:
2016-11-08 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_linux_software_single_step): Write
adjusted address back to vector. Call insert_single_step_breakpoint
in a new loop.
* arm-tdep.c (arm_software_single_step): Likewise.
Remove duplicate `0x'-prefix for the hex address printed. `paddress'
already prepends this, so no need to do it manually.

0x prefix.
While investigating an unrelated issue in remote.c I noticed that the
bound checking for 'g' packets was bogus:
The previous code would only check that the first byte of the register
was within bounds before passing the buffer to regcache_raw_supply.
If it turned out that the register in the 'g' packet was incomplete
then regcache_raw_supply would proceed to memcpy out-of-bounds.
Since the buffer is allocated with alloca it's relatively unlikely to
crash (you just end up dumping gdb's stack into the cache) but it's
still a bit messy.
I changed this logic to check for truncated registers and raise an
error if one is encountered. Hopefully it should make debugging
remote stubs a bit easier.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* remote.c (process_g_packet): Detect truncated registers in 'g'
packets and raise an error.
