Nowadays, if we use "compile" on aarch64-linux, we'll get the following
error,
(gdb) compile code -- ;

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00215.html, Jan
pointed out that the scalar printing patches caused a regression in
scm-ports.exp on x86.
What happens is that on x86, this:
set sp_reg [get_integer_valueof "\$sp" 0]
... ends up setting sp_reg to a negative value, because
get_integer_valueof uses "print/d":
print /d $sp
$1 = -11496
Then later the test suite does:
gdb_test "guile (print (seek rw-mem-port (value->integer sp-reg) SEEK_SET))" \
"= $sp_reg" \
"seek to \$sp"
... expecting this value to be identical to the saved $sp_reg value.
However it gets:
guile (print (seek rw-mem-port (value->integer sp-reg) SEEK_SET))
= 4294955800
"print" is just a wrapper for guile's format:
gdb_test_no_output "guile (define (print x) (format #t \"= ~A\" x) (newline))"
The seek function returns a scm_t_off, the printing of which is
handled by guile, not by gdb.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 26 using an ordinary build and also a -m32
build.

This adds a testcase for the previous commit. The regression was
related to in-line step overs. The reason we didn't see it on native
x86-64/s390 GNU/Linux testing is that native debugging uses displaced
stepping by default (because native debugging defaults to "maint set
target-non-stop on"), unlike remote debugging.
So in order to trigger the bug with native debugging as well, the
testcase disables displaced stepping explicitly.
Also, instead of using watchpoints to trigger the regression, the
testcase uses a breakpoint at address 0, which should be more
portable.

Since this commit --
Fix PR18360 - internal error when using "interrupt -a"
(https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=c65d6b55)
-- the testsuite shows long delays on s390 with native-gdbserver when
executing certain tests, such as watchpoints.exp. These hangs have been
discussed before in the context of buildbot problems, see here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00413.html
The problem can easily be triggered by stopping on a breakpoint, then
setting impossible watchpoints, and finally doing "continue". Then, after
having set the step-over state (in keep_going_pass_signal in infrun.c),
GDB tries to insert breakpoints and watchpoints into the inferior. This
fails, and the "continue" command is aborted. But the step-over state is
not cleared in this case, which causes future step-over attempts to be
skipped since GDB thinks that "we already have an in-line step-over
operation ongoing" (see start_step_over in infrun.c). Thus the next
"continue" just goes on to wait for events from the remote, which will
never occur.
The problem can also be reproduced on amd64 with native-gdbserver, using
the following change to watchpoints.exp:
-- >8 --
--- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoints.exp
+++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoints.exp
@@ -61,2 +61,3 @@ with_test_prefix "before inferior start" {
gdb_test "watch ival3" ".*" ""
+ gdb_test "watch *(char \[256\] *) main"
-- >8 --
To fix the hang, this patch clears the step-over info when
insert_breakpoints has failed. Of course, with native-gdbserver the
watchpoints.exp test case still causes many FAILs on s390, because
gdbserver does not support watchpoints for that target. This is a
separate issue.

commit d930703d68ae160ddfe8ebe5fdcf416fb6090e1e
Date: Thu Nov 16 18:44:43 2017 +0000
Subject: Don't ever Quit out of resume
caused regressions on software single-set targets, specifically:
FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: always-inserted off: auto-hw off: single-step breakpoint is not left behind
FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: always-inserted off: auto-hw on: single-step breakpoint is not left behind

FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: always-inserted on: auto-hw on: single-step breakpoint is not left behind
and indeed detailed logs indicate a breakpoint is left lingering, e.g.:

maint info breakpoints 0

maint info breakpoints 0
No breakpoint or watchpoint matching '0'.
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: always-inserted off: auto-hw off: single-step breakpoint is not left behind
as at commit d930703d68ae^.
Before commit d930703d68ae, we had a cleanup installed in 'resume'
that would delete single-step breakpoints on error:
/* Resuming. */
/* Things to clean up if we QUIT out of resume (). */
static void
resume_cleanups (void *ignore)
{
if (!ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
delete_single_step_breakpoints (inferior_thread ());
normal_stop ();
}
That whole function was removed by d930703d68ae mainly to eliminate
the normal_stop call:
~~~~
Note that the exception called from within resume ends up calling
normal_stop via resume_cleanups. That's very borked though, because
normal_stop is going to re-handle whatever was the last reported
event, possibly even re-running a hook stop...
~~~~
But as the regression shows, removing resume_cleanups completely went
a bit too far, as the delete_single_step_breakpoints call is still
necessary.
So fix the regression by reinstating the
delete_single_step_breakpoints call on error. However, since we're
trying to eliminate cleanups, restore it in a different form (using
TRY/CATCH).
Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux both top of master and on top of a series
that implements software single-step on x86.

Date: Wed Oct 4 18:21:10 2017 +0100
Subject: Fix "Remote 'g' packet reply is too long" problems with multiple inferiors
made GDB stop working with older stubs. Any attempt to continue
execution after the initial connection fails with:

The current thread <Thread ID 2> has terminated. See `help thread'.
^^^^^^^^^^^
(gdb)
Note, thread _2_. There's really only one thread in the inferior
(it's still at the entry point), but still GDB added a bogus second
thread.
The reason GDB started adding a second thread after 5cd63fda035d is
this hunk:
+ if (event->ptid == null_ptid)
+ {
+ const char *thr = strstr (p1 + 1, ";thread:");
+ if (thr != NULL)
+ event->ptid = read_ptid (thr + strlen (";thread:"),
+ NULL);
+ else
+ event->ptid = magic_null_ptid;
+ }
Note the else branch that falls back to magic_null_ptid. We reach
that when we process the initial stop reply sent back in response to
the the "?" (status) packet early in the connection setup:
Sending packet: $?#3f...Ack
Packet received: T0506:0000000000000000;07:40a510f4fd7f0000;10:d0fe1201577f0000;
And note that that response does not include a ";thread:XXX" part.
This stop reply is processed after listing threads with qfThreadInfo /
qsThreadInfo :
Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Ack
Packet received: m3915
Sending packet: $qsThreadInfo#c8...Ack
Packet received: l
meaning, when we process that stop reply, we treat the event as coming
from a thread with ptid == magic_null_ptid, which is not yet in the
thread list, so we add it then:
(top-gdb) p ptid
$1 = {m_pid = 42000, m_lwp = -1, m_tid = 1}

things go downhill from this.
We don't see the problem with current master gdbserver, because that
version always sends the ";thread:" part in the initial stop reply:
Sending packet: $?#3f...Packet received: T0506:0000000000000000;07:a0d4ffffff7f0000;10:d05eddf7ff7f0000;thread:p3cea.3cea;core:3;
Years ago I had added a "--disable-packet=" command line option to
gdbserver which comes in handy for testing this, since the existing
"--disable-packet=Tthread" precisely makes gdbserver not send that
";thread:" part in stop replies. The testcase added by this commit
emulates old gdbserver making use of that.
I've compared a testrun at 5cd63fda035d^ (before regression) with
'current master+patch', against old gdbserver at f8b73d13b7ca^. I
hacked out --once, and "monitor exit" to be able to test. The results
are a bit too unstable to tell accurately, but it looked like there
were no regressions. Maciej confirmed this worked for him as well.
No regressions on master (against master gdbserver).

A previous patch fixed verbatim matching in the lookup at the minimal
symbol level, but we should also be finding that same symbol through
the partial/full symtab search.
For example, this is what happens if we use "print" instead of
"break":
(gdb) p <MixedCaseFunc>
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x4024dc <MixedCaseFunc>
Before the C++ wildmatching series, GDB knows that MixedCaseFunc is a
function without parameters, and the expression above means calling
it. If you try it before having started the inferior, you'd get the
following (expected) error:
(gdb) print <MixedCaseFunc>
You can't do that without a process to debug.
The main idea behind making the name matcher be determined by the
symbol's language is so that C++ (etc.) wildmatching in linespecs
works even if the current language is not C++, as e.g., when you step
through C or assembly code.
Ada's verbatim matching syntax however ("<...>") isn't quite the same.
It is more a property of the current language than of a particular
symbol's language. We want to support this syntax when debugging an
Ada program, but it's reason of existence is to find non-Ada symbols.
This suggests going back to enabling it depending on current language
instead of language of the symbol being matched.
I'm not entirely happy with the "current_language" reference (though I
think that it's harmless). I think we could try storing the current
language in the lookup_name_info object, and then convert a bunch of
functions more to pass around lookup_name_info objects instead of
"const char *" names. I.e., build the lookup_name_info higher up.
I'm not sure about that, I'll have to think more about it. Maybe
something different will be better. Meanwhile, this gets us going.
I've extended the testcase to also exercise a no-debug-info function,
for extra coverage of the minsyms-only paths.

This patch fixes the regression covered by the test added by:
commit 344420da6beac1e0b2f7964e7101f8dcdb509b0d
Date: Thu Jan 4 03:30:37 2018 -0500
Subject: Add "complete break ada" test to gdb.ada/complete.exp
The regression had been introduced by:
commit b5ec771e60c1a0863e51eb491c85c674097e9e13
Date: Wed Nov 8 14:22:32 2017 +0000
Subject: Introduce lookup_name_info and generalize Ada's FULL/WILD name matching
The gist of it is that linespec completion in Ada mode is generating
additional matches that should not appear in the match list
(internally generated symbols, or symbols that should be enclosed
between "<...>"). These extraneous entries have uppercase characters, such as:
break ada__stringsS
break ada__strings__R11s
[etc]
These matches come from minimal symbols. The problem is that Ada
minsyms end up with no language set (language_auto), and thus we end
up using the generic symbol name matcher for those instead of Ada's.
We already had a special case for in compare_symbol_name to handle
this, but it was limited to expressions, while the case at hand is
completing a linespec. Fix this by applying the special case to
linespec completion as well. I.e., remove the EXPRESSION check from
compare_symbol_name. That alone turns out to not be sufficient still
-- GDB would still show a couple entries that shouldn't be there:
~~
break ada__exceptions__exception_data__append_info_exception_name__2Xn
break ada__exceptions__exception_data__exception_name_length__2Xn
~~
The reason is that these minimal symbols end up with their language
set to language_cplus / C++, because those encoded names manage to
demangle successfully as C++ symbols (using an old C++ mangling
scheme):
$ echo ada__exceptions__exception_data__append_info_exception_name__2Xn | c++filt
Xn::ada__exceptions__exception_data__append_info_exception_name(void)
It's unfortunate that Ada's encoding scheme doesn't start with some
unique prefix like "_Z" in the C++ Itanium ABI mangling scheme. For
now, paper over that by treating C++ minsyms as Ada minsyms.

The problem here is that we are using the user-provided lookup name
literally for name comparisons. I.e., "<MixedCase>" with the "<>"s
included.
This commit fixes the minsym lookup case. psymbol/symbol lookup will
be fixed in a follow up.
In the minsym case, we're using using the user-provided lookup name
literally for linkage name comparisons. That obviously can't work
since the "<>" are not really part of the linkage name.
The original idea was that we'd use the symbol's language to select
the right symbol name matching algorithm, but that doesn't work for
Ada because it's not really possible to unambiguously tell from the
linkage name alone whether we're dealing with Ada symbols, so Ada
minsyms end up with no language set, or sometimes C++ set.
So fix this by treating Ada mode specially when determining the
linkage name to match against.

At https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18653#c7, Andrew
reports that the fix for PR gdb/18653 made GDB useless if you preload
libSegFault.so, because GDB internal-errors on startup:
$ LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so gdb
src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c:64: internal-error: unexpected signal handler
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Aborted (core dumped)
$
The internal error comes from the code saving the signal dispositions
inherited from gdb's parent:
(top-gdb) bt
#0 0x000000000056b001 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...) (file=0xaf5f38 "src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c", line=64, fmt=0xaf5f18 "unexpected signal handler") at src/gdb/common/errors.c:54

instead:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider the following code which first declares a tagged type (the
equivalent of a class in Ada), and then a procedure which takes a
pointer (access) to this type's 'Class.
package Pck is
type Top_T is tagged record
N : Integer := 1;
end record;
procedure Inspect (Obj: access Top_T'Class);
end Pck;
Putting a breakpoint in that procedure and then running to it triggers
an internal error:
(gdb) break inspect
(gdb) continue
Breakpoint 1, pck.inspect (obj=0x63e010
/[...]/gdb/stack.c:621: internal-error: void print_frame_args(symbol*, frame_info*, int, ui_file*): Assertion `nsym != NULL' failed.
What's special about this subprogram is that it takes an access to
what we call a 'Class type, and for implementation reasons, the
compiler adds an extra argument named "objL". If you are curious why,
it allows the compiler for perform dynamic accessibility checks that
are mandated by the language.
If we look at the location where we get the internal error (in
stack.c), we find that we are looping over the symbol of each
parameter, and for each parameter, we do:
/* We have to look up the symbol because arguments can have
two entries (one a parameter, one a local) and the one we
want is the local, which lookup_symbol will find for us.
[...]
nsym = lookup_symbol (SYMBOL_LINKAGE_NAME (sym),
b, VAR_DOMAIN, NULL).symbol;
gdb_assert (nsym != NULL);
The lookup_symbol goes through the lookup structure, which means the
symbol's linkage name ("objL") gets transformed into a
lookup_name_info object (in block_lookup_symbol), before it gets fed
to the block symbol dictionary iterators. This, in turn, triggers the
symbol matching by comparing the "lookup" name which, for Ada, means
among other things, lowercasing the given name to "objl". It is this
transformation that causes the lookup find no matches, and therefore
trip this assertion.
Going back to the "offending" call to lookup_symbol in stack.c, what
we are trying to do, here, is do a lookup by linkage name. So, I
think what we mean to be doing is a completely literal symbol lookup,
so maybe not even strcmp_iw, but actually just plain strcmp???
In the past, in practice, you could get that effect by doing a lookup
using the C language. But that doesn't work, because we still end up
somehow using Ada's lookup_name routine which transforms "objL".
So, ideally, as I hinted before, I think what we need is a way to
perform a literal lookup so that searches by linkage names like the
above can be performed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This commit fixes the problem by implementing something similar to
Joel's literal idea, but with some important differences.
I considered adding a symbol_name_match_type::LINKAGE and supporting
searching by linkage name for any language, but the problem with that
is that the dictionaries only work with SYMBOL_SEARCH_NAME, because
that's what is used for hashing. We'd need separate dictionaries for
hashed linkage names.
So with the current symbol tables infrastructure, it's not literal
linkage names that we want to pass down, but instead literal _search_
names (SYMBOL_SEARCH_NAME, etc.).
However, psymbols have no overload/function parameter info in C++, so
a straight strcmp doesn't work properly for C++ name matching.
So what we do is be a little less aggressive then and add a new
symbol_name_match_type::SEARCH_SYMBOL instead that takes as input a
non-user-input search symbol, and then we skip any decoding/demangling
steps and make:
- Ada treat that as a verbatim match,
- other languages treat it as symbol_name_match_type::FULL.
This also fixes the new '"maint check-psymtabs" for Ada' testcase for
me (gdb.ada/maint_with_ada.exp). I've not removed the kfail yet
because Joel still sees that testcase failing with this patch.
That'll be fixed in follow up patches.

The comments about mixed case in the testcase are actually a red
herring. The problem here is that we'd get to
ada_lookup_encoded_symbol with "my_table", which wraps the looked up
name in "<>"s to force a verbatim match, and that in turn disables
wild matching.
Fix this by swapping around the internals of ada_lookup_encoded_symbol
and ada_lookup_symbol, thus avoiding the encoding and
verbatim-wrapping in the ada_lookup_symbol case, the case that starts
with a user-provided lookup name.
Ada encoding is still done of course, in the ada_lookup_name_info
ctor. This could be also seen as avoiding the double-encoding problem
in a different way.

This patch adds a new testcase to demonstrate a regression introduced by:
commit b5ec771e60c1a0863e51eb491c85c674097e9e13
Date: Wed Nov 8 14:22:32 2017 +0000
Subject: Introduce lookup_name_info and generalize Ada's FULL/WILD name matching
The purpose of the testcase is to verify that a user can insert
a breakpoint on a C function while debugging Ada, even if the name
of the function includes uppercase letters, requiring us to use
Ada's "<...>" notation to tell the GDB that the symbol name should
be looked up verbatim.
As of the commit above, GDB is no longer finding the function:
(gdb) break <MixedCaseFunc>

Subject: Introduce lookup_name_info and generalize Ada's FULL/WILD name matching
The original purpose of the new test is to exercise the "complete"
command with an expression for which a large number of matches are
returned and to verify that each match returned is a plausible match.
In this particular case, the commit above causes GDB to generate
additional matches which should in fact not appear in the list
(internally generated symbols, or symbols that should be enclosed
between "<...>"). These extraneous entries are easy to spot, because
they have uppercase characters, such as:
break ada__stringsS
break ada__strings__R11s
[etc]
For now, the new test is KFAIL'ed, to avoid generating a new FAIL
while we work on fixing that regression.

When using gdb for debugging Ada source code, there are several catchpoint
types you can define in order to stop upon certain conditions. Let's
use this small example:
procedure Foo is
begin
begin
raise Constraint_Error;
exception
when Program_Error =>
null;
when Constraint_Error =>
null;
when others =>
null;
end;
end Foo;
One can stop when the exception is being raised by using the exception
catchpoint like below:
(gdb) catch exception
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions
(gdb)
In that case, when running Foo, gdb will stop at the line where the exception
was raised:
begin
>>> raise Constraint_Error;
exception
This patch introduces new type of catchpoint, when the user wants to stop
at the location of the exception handling.
Imagine we want to stop on any exception handled by the program, we can do:
(gdb) catch handlers
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions handlers
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo
By doing so, when running Foo, gdb will stop here:
Catchpoint 1, exception at 0x000000000040255a in foo () at foo.adb:25
25 when Constraint_Error =>
(gdb)
It is also possible to stop when the Constraint_Error exception is being
handled in this program. With this patch, we can use:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error
Catchpoint 1: `Constraint_Error' Ada exception handlers
(gdb)
Like for other catchpoint, you can set a condition when adding a catchpoint
on exception handlers.
Here the handlers catchpoint checks Global_Var:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error if Global_Var /= 0

Consider the following Ada code:
procedure Nested (L, U : Integer) is
subtype Small_Type is Integer range L .. U;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := L) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type :=
(1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
procedure Discard (R : Record_Type) is
begin
null;
end Discard;
begin
Discard (A1 (1)); -- STOP
end;
Trying to print a slice of that array currently yields:
(gdb) p a1(1..3)
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""))
We expected instead:
(gdb) p a1(1..3)
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 1, s => "A"), (i => 2, s => "AB"))
This is because the functions we use in ada-lang.c to create the type
of the array slice (ada_value_slice and ada_value_slice_from_ptr) was
not taking into account the stride of the array. This patch fixes this.
gdb/ChangeLog:

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp: Add slice test.
Note that, with the current use of ada_value_slice, the enhancement
to handle dynamic array strides seems unnecessary, because I do not
see how an array with a dynamic stride can be referenced by either
by reference or pointer. Since references are coerced to array pointers,
in both cases, the slice is performed by ada_value_slice_from_ptr.
But ada_value_slice is enhanced nonetheless, in the spirit of making
the code more robust, in case we missed something, and also as similar
as possible with its from_ptr counterpart.

This patch adds support for DW_AT_byte_stride, using Ada as one
example of where this would be useful. However, the implementation
is language-agnostic.
Consider the following Ada code:
procedure Nested (L, U : Integer) is
subtype Small_Type is Integer range L .. U;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := L) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type :=
(1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
procedure Discard (R : Record_Type) is
begin
null;
end Discard;
begin
Discard (A1 (1)); -- STOP
end;
It defines an array A1 of Record_Type, which is a variant record
type whose maximum size actually depends on the value of the
parameters passed when calling Nested. As a result, the stride
of the array A1 cannot be known statically, which leads the compiler
to generate a dynamic DW_AT_byte_stride attribute for our type.
Here is what the debugging info looks like with GNAT:
.uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x14e) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF17 # DW_AT_name: "foo__nested__T18b"
.long 0x141 # DW_AT_byte_stride
.long 0xdc # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x11 # (DIE (0x15f) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x166 # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x3 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x14e
There DW_AT_byte_stride is a reference to a local (internal)
variable:
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0x141) DW_TAG_variable)
.long .LASF6 # DW_AT_name: "foo__nested__T18b___PAD___XVZ"
This patch enhances GDB to handle this dynamic byte stride attribute
by first adding a new dynamic_prop_node_kind (DYN_PROP_BYTE_STRIDE)
to store the array dynamic stride info (when dynamic). It then enhances
the dynamic type resolver to handle this dynamic property.
Before applying this patch, trying to print the value of some of
A1's elements after having stopped at the "STOP" comment does not
work. For instance:
(gdb) p a1(2)
Cannot access memory at address 0x80000268dec0
With this patch applied, GDB now prints the value of all 3 elements
correctly:
(gdb) print A1(1)

Consider the gdb.ada/taft_type.exp testcase, which exercises
the situation where a variable is defined using a type which
is a pointer to an incomplete type, with the actual type
definition being provided by another unit. Up to now, the
strategy used by GNAT when generating the DWARF debugging info
was to produce a incomplete DW_TAG_enumeration_type DIE with
a DW_AT_declaration flag attached to it:
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0x3e) DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "pck__empty"
# DW_AT_declaration
However, a more standard way for the compiler to describe
this kind of type is to use the DW_TAG_unspecified_type tag.
When the compiler is enhanced to do so, we'll need to treat
such types as stubs -- we only do so with types from Ada units,
however, as the meaning of this TAG is intentionally left
permissive and language-specific by the DWARF standard.
Without this patch, running the testcase above with an enhanced
compiler now yields:
(gdb) print w.e.all
Attempt to dereference a generic pointer.
FAIL: gdb.ada/taft_type.exp: print w.e.all
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_unspecified_type): Treat
DW_TAG_enumeration_type DIEs from Ada units as stubs.
Tested on x86_64-linux, fixes the FAIL in gdb.ada/taft_type.exp above.

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files
|
|
In the past, these files needed to be handled by hand, because
the testcase was sensitive to the length of the header, which was
potentially changing when new copyright years were added to
the copyright header. Now that we simply maintain and update
a range, the length of the copyright header should not change
as a consequence of the update performed by this script, so
special handling of those files is no longer necessary.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* copyright.py (BY_HAND): Remove gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.inp
and gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.c.
|
|
There is a small logical error in the part of the script that
dumps the list of files in BY_HAND + MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS
but only checkis the contents of BY_HAND. The issue becomes
apparent as soon as BY_HAND is empty. Prevent this from happening
by treating the two lists separately, as this allows us to provide
a more informative message in the case of MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* copyright.py (main): Dump the contents of
MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS (separately) from BY_HAND,
even if BY_HAND is empty.

* top.c (print_gdb_version): Update Copyright year in version
message.

The code here wants to find address of an element, and often this
element is one past the end of std::vector. Dereferencing that element
leads to undefined behavior, so it's better to simply use pointer
arithmetic instead of taking address of invalid dereference.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* psymtab.c (recursively_search_psymtabs): Use pointer arithmetic
instead of dereferencing std::vector past the end.

My patch
dwarf2read: Silence -Wenum-compare-switch warning
132448f8359a268f34f074b0908b5255b568da06
made some parts of dwarf2read.c ignore warnings about switch using enums
of different kinds. What I did not realize was that older Clang
versions (prior to 6) did not have that warning, and therefore give this
error:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2read.c:24187:7: error: unknown warning group '-Wenum-compare-switch', ignored [-Werror,-Wunknown-pragmas]
DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_SWITCH_DIFFERENT_ENUM_TYPES
^
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/common/diagnostics.h:42:3: note: expanded from macro 'DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_SWITCH_DIFFERENT_ENUM_TYPES'

_Pragma (STRINGIFY (GCC diagnostic ignored option))
^
<scratch space>:10:25: note: expanded from here
GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wenum-compare-switch"
^
Clang has a way to test if it knows about a particular warning. This
patch uses that feature to only define
DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_SWITCH_DIFFERENT_ENUM_TYPES to something if the
warning is recognized by the Clang version being used. I tested
building dwarf2read.c with clang 4, 5, 6, as well as gcc.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/diagnostics.h
(DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_SWITCH_DIFFERENT_ENUM_TYPES): Only
define if the compiler knows about -Wenum-compare-switch.
|

Compiling with Clang 6 gives:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2read.c:24385:14: error: comparison of two values with different enumeration types in switch statement ('enum dwarf_macro_record_type' and 'dwarf_macinfo_record_type') [-Werror,-Wenum-compare-switch]

case DW_MACINFO_vendor_ext:
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This code uses the two enum types on purpose, because it handles both
.debug_macro and .debug_macinfo sections. Add some pragmas to disable
the warning in these specific cases.

-Wenum-compare-switch warning.

When compiling with clang 6, I see a bunch of warnings like this:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/amd64-linux-tdep.c:1427:8: error: comparison of two values with different enumeration types in switch statement ('enum amd64_syscall' and 'amd
64_x32_syscall') [-Werror,-Wenum-compare-switch]
case amd64_x32_sys_move_pages:
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this switch, we indeed use enumerators of both types
amd64_x32_syscall and amd64_syscall. This is done on purpose, and the
enum values are chosen so that they are complementary.
I think it's still a useful warning, so I chose to ignore just that
particular case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/diagnostics.h
(DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_SWITCH_DIFFERENT_ENUM_TYPES): New macro.
* amd64-linux-tdep.c (amd64_canonicalize_syscall): Use it.

In thread_db_detach, we call get_thread_db_info to first check if there
exists a thread_db_info entry for the pid to detach. If there is, then
we call delete_thread_db_info. It's unnecessary to call
get_thread_db_info in the first place, since delete_thread_db_info
handles the case where no thread_db_info entry exist for the given pid.

delete_thread_db_info.

Traditionally reggroups have been created via reggroup_new() during
initialization code and never freed. Now, if we want to initialize
reggroups dynamically (i.e. in target description) we should be able to
free them. Create this function reggroup_gdbarch_new() which will
allocate the reggroup memory onto the passed gdbarch obstack.
Also creating reggroup_find() as a utility to find a gdbarch registered
reggroup object by name.

Currently the reggroups gdbarch_data cannot be manipulated until after
the gdbarch is completely initialized. This is usually done when the
object init depends on architecture specific fields. In the case of
reggroups it only depends on the obstack being available.
Coverting this to pre_init allows using reggroups during gdbarch
initialization. This is needed to allow registering arbitrary reggroups
during gdbarch initializations.
gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd Stafford Horne <shorne@gmail.com>
* reggroups.c (reggroups_init): Change to depend only on
obstack rather than gdbarch.
(reggroup_add): Remove logic for forcing premature init.

gdbarch_data_register_pre_init() rather than
gdbarch_data_register_post_init().
