While working on some changes to switch_to_thread, I inadvertently
make switch_to_thread call reinit_frame_cache more frequently, even
when the thread didn't change. This exposed a latent bug in
watch_command_1, where we're referencing a frame after
creating/inserting breakpoints, which potentially calls
reinit_frame_cache if it needs to install breakpoints with a different
thread selected.
Handle this similarly to how it's already handled in other similar
cases. I.e., save any frame-related information we might need before
creating a breakpoint.

The previous change to fork-child.c converted the argv building from
an alloca-allocated array of non-owning arg pointers, to a std::vector
of owning pointers, which results in N string dups, with N being the
number of arguments in the vector, and then requires manually
releasing the pointers owned by the vector.
This patch makes the vector hold non-owning pointers, and avoids the
string dups, by doing one single string copy of the arguments upfront,
and replacing separators with NULL terminators in place, like we used
to. All the logic to do that is encapsulated in a new class.
With this, there's no need to remember to manually release the argv
elements with free_vector_argv either.

"struct gdbarch_tdep" is XNEW'ed in rl78 and rx, so the memory is not
cleared. As the result, tdep->rl78_psw_type is never initialized
properly.

if (tdep->rl78_psw_type == NULL)
{

As requested, I'm sending this as a separate patch because it is ready
to be included as-is.
The idea here is that both gdb/terminal.h and gdb/gdbserver/terminal.h
share the same code, which is responsible for setting a bunch of
defines on based on the presence of termios.h and a few other headers.
This simple patch just moves this common code to common/gdb_termios.h
and makes the necessary adjustments on both GDB and gdbserver so that
they can use this new header. It also implements the some header
checks on common/common.m4.
As a bonus, gdb/gdbserver/terminal.h can be removed because it's now
empty.
Built on x86_64, no regressions found.

GDB is currently not aware that wchar_t is a built-in type in C++
mode. This is usually not a problem because the debug info describes
the type, so when you have a program loaded, you don't notice this.
However, if you try expressions involving wchar_t before a program is
loaded, gdb errors out:
(gdb) p (wchar_t)-1
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb) p L"hello"
No type named wchar_t.
(gdb) ptype L"hello"
No type named wchar_t.
This commit teaches gdb about the type. After:
(gdb) p (wchar_t)-1
$1 = -1 L'\xffffffff'
(gdb) p L"hello"
$2 = L"hello"
(gdb) ptype L"hello"
type = wchar_t [6]
Unlike char16_t/char32_t, unfortunately, the underlying type of
wchar_t is implementation dependent, both size and signness. So this
requires adding a couple new gdbarch hooks.
I grepped the GCC code base for WCHAR_TYPE and WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE, and it
seems to me that the majority of the ABIs have a 4-byte signed
wchar_t, so that's what I made the default for GDB too. And then I
looked for which ports have a 16-bit and/or unsigned wchar_t, and made
GDB follow suit.

While the C++ standard says that char16_t and char32_t are unsigned types:
Types char16_t and char32_t denote distinct types with the same size,
signedness, and alignment as uint_least16_t and uint_least32_t,
respectively, in <cstdint>, called the underlying types.
... gdb treats them as signed currently:
(gdb) p (char16_t)-1
$1 = -1 u'\xffff'
There are actually two places in gdb that hardcode these types:
- gdbtypes.c:gdbtypes_post_init, when creating the built-in types,
seemingly used by the "x /s" command (judging from commit 9a22f0d0).
- dwarf2read.c, when reading base types with DW_ATE_UTF encoding
(which is what is used for these types, when compiling for C++11 and
up). Despite the comment, the type created does end up used.
Both places need fixing. But since I couldn't tell why dwarf2read.c
needs to create a new type, I've made it use the per-arch built-in
types instead, so that the types are only created once per arch
instead of once per objfile. That seems to work fine.
While writting the test, I noticed that the C++ language parser isn't
actually aware of these built-in types, so if you try to use them
without a program that uses them, you get:
(gdb) set language c++
(gdb) ptype char16_t
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb) ptype u"hello"
No type named char16_t.
(gdb) p u"hello"
No type named char16_t.
That's fixed by simply adding a couple entries to C++'s built-in types
array in c-lang.c. With that, we get the expected:
(gdb) ptype char16_t
type = char16_t
(gdb) ptype u"hello"
type = char16_t [6]
(gdb) p u"hello"
$1 = u"hello"

(cplus_language_arch_info): Register cplus_primitive_type_char16_t
and cplus_primitive_type_char32_t.
* dwarf2read.c (read_base_type) <DW_ATE_UTF>: If bit size is 16 or
32, use the archtecture's built-in type for char16_t and char32_t,
respectively. Otherwise, fallback to init_integer_type as before,
but make the type unsigned, and issue a complaint.
* gdbtypes.c (gdbtypes_post_init): Make char16_t and char32_t unsigned.

As a preparation for the next patch, which will move fork_inferior
from GDB to common/ (and therefore share it with gdbserver), it is
interesting to convert a few functions to C++.
This patch touches functions related to parsing command-line arguments
to the inferior (see gdb/fork-child.c:breakup_args), the way the
arguments are stored on fork_inferior (using std::vector instead of
char **), and the code responsible for dealing with argv also on
gdbserver.
I've taken this opportunity and decided to constify a few arguments to
fork_inferior/create_inferior as well, in order to make the code
cleaner. And now, on gdbserver, we're using xstrdup everywhere and
aren't checking for memory allocation failures anymore, as requested
by Pedro:

IMO this refactoring was very good to increase the readability of the
code as well, because some parts of the argument handling were
unnecessarily confusing before.

Skip processor-specific GNU program properties with generic ELF target
vector. They should be handled by the matching ELF target vector.
* elf-properties.c (_bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties): Ignore
processor-specific properties with generic ELF target vector.
At the end of linux_nat_detach the main_lwp is deleted (delete_lwp).
This is problematic as during detach (detach_one_lwp and
linux_fork_detach) main_lwp already gets freed. Thus calling
delete_lwp causes a read after free. Fix it by removing the
unnecessary delete_lwp.

2017-04-11 Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_detach): Remove delete_lwp call.
