Cannot access memory at address 0x8000003fe05c^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-stap-special-operands.exp: probe: three_arg: \
print $_probe_arg0
...
The memory cannot be accessed because the address used to evaluate
$_probe_arg0 at the probe point is incorrect.
The address is calculated using this expression:
...
.asciz "-4@-4(%rbp,%ebx,0)"
...
which uses $ebx, but $ebx is uninitialized at the probe point.
The test-case does contain a "movl $0, %ebx" insn to set $ebx to 0, but that
insn is placed after the probe point. We could fix this by moving the insn
to before the probe point. But, $ebx is also a callee-save register, so
normally, if we modify it, we also need to save and restore it, which is
currently not done. This is currently not harmful, because we don't run the
test-case further than the probe point, but it's bound to cause confusion.
So, fix this instead by using $eax instead in the expression, and moving the
insn setting $eax to 0 to before the probe point.

Now that all ports have opted in to this, we can require it in the
core. It guarantees that new ports have them turned on, and defaults
to -Werror in the hopes that new ports keep their code clean from the
start. We do this as a sep commit to make it clear that there are no
changes to existing ports as they've all explicitly called it already.
We want all ports to opt into extra warnings as the default compiler
settings lets a lot slide. Opt all the ports that haven't already in
to the warning system. None of them build with -Werror, so disable
that by default. Hopefully someone finds these important enough to
start fixing at some point.
Make sure config.h is included before C library headers otherwise the

This port declares its pc variable in a header and then includes
it multiple times. This causes linker errors with newer gcc due

Since we require C11 now, we can assume many headers exist, and
clean up all of the conditional includes. It's not like any of
this code actually accounted for the headers not existing, just
whether we could include them.
The strings.h cleanup is a little nuanced: it isn't in C11, but
every use of it in the codebase will include strings.h only if
string.h doesn't exist. Since we now assume the C11 string.h
exists, we'll never include strings.h, so we can delete it.
PR 23672 points out a crash in compile_to_object. This crash came in

back to the introduction of the compile feature. So, it isn't

With GDB requiring a C++11 compiler now, this hopefully shouldn't
be a big deal. It's been 10 years since C11 came out, so should
be plenty of time to upgrade.
This will allow us to start cleaning up random header logic and
many of our non-standard custom types.
An earlier patch pointed out that nothing in GDB sets void_context_p
when parsing an expression. This patch fixes this omission.
"print" and "call" differ in that the former will print a value that
has void type, while the latter will not. AdaCore has had a patch for
a long time that uses this distinction to help with overload
resolution. In particular, in a "call" context, a procedure will be
chosen, while in a "print" context, a zero-argument function will be
chosen instead.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 32.

gdb_abspath doesn't handle empty strings, so handle this case in the
callers. If a variable is defined but empty, I think it's reasonable in
this case to just ignore it, as if it was not defined.
Note that this sometimes also lead to a segfault, because the failed
assertion happens very early during startup, before things are fully
initialized.

gdb: fix potentially uninitialised variable
Was pushed with no test. Naughty!
The new test checks how GDB behaves when completing an invalid /FMT
string.
Currently GDB does no validation of the /FMT string during tab
completion, and just assumes that any /FMT string is valid and
complete when the user hits TAB. So:
(gdb) p/@@<TAB>
Will give:
(gdb) p/@@ <CURSOR IS HERE>
We already had a test in place for completion on a valid /FMT string,
but the above commit fixed a bug in the logic for completing invalid
/FMT strings. Now we have a test for this too.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/completion.exp: Add a new test.
Consider this Fortran type:
type :: some_type
integer, allocatable :: array_one (:,:)
integer :: a_field
integer, allocatable :: array_two (:,:)
end type some_type
And a variable declared:
type(some_type) :: some_var
Now within GDB we try this:
(gdb) set $a = some_var
(gdb) p $a
$1 = ( array_one =
../../src/gdb/value.c:3968: internal-error: Unexpected lazy value type.
Normally, when an internalvar ($a in this case) is created, it is
non-lazy, the value is immediately copied out of the inferior into
GDB's memory.
When printing the internalvar ($a) GDB will extract each field in
turn, so in this case `array_one`. As the original internalvar is
non-lazy then the extracted field will also be non-lazy, with its
contents immediately copied from the parent internalvar.
However, when the field has a dynamic type this is not the case, in
value_primitive_field we see that any field with dynamic type is
always created lazy. Further, the content of this field will usually
not have been captured in the contents buffer of the original value, a
field with dynamic location is effectively a pointer value contained
within the parent value, with rules in the DWARF for how to
dereference the pointer.
So, we end up with a lazy lval_internalvar_component representing a
field within an lval_internalvar. This eventually ends up in
value_fetch_lazy, which currently does not support
lval_internalvar_component, and we see the error above.
My original plan for how to handle this involved extending
value_fetch_lazy to handle lval_internalvar_component. However, when
I did this I ran into another error:
(gdb) set $a = some_var
(gdb) p $a
$1 = ( array_one = ((1, 1) (1, 1) (1, 1)), a_field = 5, array_two = ((0, 0, 0) (0, 0, 0)) )
(gdb) p $a%array_one
$2 = ((1, 1) (1, 1) (1, 1))
(gdb) p $a%array_one(1,1)
../../src/gdb/value.c:1547: internal-error: void set_value_address(value*, CORE_ADDR): Assertion `value->lval == lval_memory' failed.
The problem now is inside set_value_component_location, where we
attempt to set the address for a component if the original parent
value has a dynamic location. GDB does not expect to ever set the
address on anything other than an lval_memory value (which seems
reasonable).
In order to resolve this issue I initially thought about how an
internalvar should "capture" the value of a program variable at the
moment the var is created. In an ideal world (I think) GDB would be
able to do this even for values with dynamic type. So in our above
example doing `set $a = some_var` would capture the content of
'some_var', but also the content of 'array_one', and also 'array_two',
even though these content regions are not contained within the region
of 'some_var'.
Supporting this would require GDB values to be able to carry around
multiple non-contiguous regions of memory as content in some way,
which sounds like a pretty huge change to a core part of GDB.
So, I wondered if there was some other solution that wouldn't require
such a huge change.
What if values with a dynamic location were though of like points with
automatic dereferencing? Given this C structure:
struct foo_t {
int *val;
}
struct foo_t my_foo;
Then in GDB:
(gdb) $a = my_foo
We would expect GDB to capture the pointer value in '$a', but not the
value pointed at by the pointer. So maybe it's not that unreasonable
to think that given a dynamically typed field GDB will capture the
address of the content, but not the actual content itself.
That's what this patch does.
The approach is to catch this case in set_value_component_location.
When we create a component location (of an lval_internalvar) that has
a dynamic data location, the lval_internalvar_component is changed
into an lval_memory. After this, both of the above issues are
resolved. In the first case, the lval_memory is still lazy, but
value_fetch_lazy knows how to handle that. In the second case, when
we access an element of the array we are now accessing an element of
an lval_memory, not an lval_internalvar_component, and calling
set_value_address on an lval_memory is fine.

The function create_exception_master_breakpoint in gdb/breakpoint.c attempts
to set a master exception breakpoint in each objfile. It tries this using
a libgcc/unwind probe, and if that fails then using the
_Unwind_DebugHook symbol:
...
for (objfile *objfile : current_program_space->objfiles ())
{
/* Try using probes. */
if (/* successful */)
continue;
/* Try using _Unwind_DebugHook */
}
...
The preference scheme works ok both if the objfile has debug info, and if it's
stripped.
But it doesn't work when the objfile has a .gnu_debuglink to a .debug file
(and the .debug file is present). What happens is that:
- we first encounter objfile libgcc.debug
- we try using probes, and this fails
- so we try _Unwind_DebugHook, which succeeds
- next we encounter objfile libgcc
- we try using probes, and this succeeds.
So, we end up with a master exception breakpoint in both libgcc (using probes)
and libgcc.debug (using _Unwind_DebugHook).
This eventually causes:
...

gdb/fortran: Add support for Fortran array slices at the GDB prompt
A bug was introduced into GDB. Consider this Fortan array:
integer, dimension (1:10) :: array
array = 1
Now inside GDB:
(gdb) set $var = array
(gdb) set $var(1) = 2
Left operand of assignment is not an lvalue.
The problem is that the new code for slicing Fortran arrays now does
not set the lval type correctly for arrays that are not in memory.
This is easily fixed by making use of value_from_component.
After this the above example behaves as you'd expect.
