GDB uses the environment variable PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE to
determine whether or not to write the result of byte-compiling
python modules when the "python dont-write-bytecode" setting
is "auto". Simon noticed that GDB's implementation doesn't
follow the Python documentation.
At present, GDB only checks for the existence of this environment
variable. That is not sufficient though. Regarding
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE, this document...
https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html
...says:
If this is set to a non-empty string, Python won't try to write
.pyc files on the import of source modules.
This commit fixes GDB's handling of PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE by adding
an empty string check.
This commit also corrects the set/show command documentation for
"python dont-write-bytecode". The current doc was just a copy
of that for set/show python ignore-environment.
During his review of an earlier version of this patch, Eli Zaretskii
asked that the help text that I proposed for "set/show python
dont-write-bytecode" be expanded. I've done that in addition to
clarifying the documentation of this option in the GDB manual.

gdb: have gdb_disassemble_info carry 'this' in its stream pointer
The disassemble_info::stream field will no longer be a ui_file*. That
commit failed to update one location in py-disasm.c though.
While running some tests using the Python disassembler API, I
triggered a call to gdbpy_disassembler::print_address_func, and, as I
had compiled GDB with the undefined behaviour sanitizer, GDB crashed
as the code currently (incorrectly) casts the stream field to be a
ui_file*.
In this commit I fix this error.
In order to test this case I had to tweak the existing test case a
little. I also spotted some debug printf statements in py-disasm.py,
which I have removed.
Simon pointed out that gdb_printing_disassembler::m_in_comment can be
used uninitialised by the Python disassembler API code. This issue
was spotted when GDB was built with the undefined behaviour sanitizer,
and causes the gdb.python/py-disasm.exp test to fail like this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-disasm.exp: global_disassembler=GlobalPreInfoDisassembler: python add_global_disassembler(GlobalPreInfoDisassembler)

/home/user/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/disasm.h:144:12: runtime error: load of value 118, which is not a valid value for type 'bool'
The problem is that in disasmpy_builtin_disassemble we create a new
instance of gdbpy_disassembler, which is a sub-class of
gdb_printing_disassembler, however, the m_in_comment field is never
initialised.
This commit fixes the issue by providing a default initialisation
value for m_in_comment in disasm.h. As we only ever disassemble a
single instruction in disasmpy_builtin_disassemble then we don't need
to worry about reseting m_in_comment back to false after the single
instruction has been disassembled.
With this commit the above issue is resolved and
gdb.python/py-disasm.exp now passes.

The issue is that mingw gcc defaults to "-mms-bitfields", which
affects how bitfields are laid out. We can however tell GCC that we
want the regular GCC layout instead using attribute gcc_struct.
Attribute gcc_struct is not implemented in "clang -target

For a long time I've had this in my ~/.gitconfig:
[core]
whitespace = space-before-tab,indent-with-non-tab,trailing-space
which causes git to show me if I muck up and use spaces instead of
tabs, or leave in trailing whitespace. I find this really useful.
I recently proposed adding something like this to the .gitattributes
files for the GDB sub-directories (gdb, gdbsupport, and gdbserver)[1],
however, the question was asked - couldn't this be done at the top
level?
So, in this commit, I propose to update the top-level .gitattributes
file, after this commit, any git diff on a C, C++, Expect, or TCL
source file, will highlight the following whitespace errors:
(a) Use a space before a tab at the start of a line,
(b) Use of spaces where a tab could be used at the start of a line,
and
(c) Any trailing whitespace.
Errors are only highlighted in the diff on new or modified lines, so
you don't get spammed for errors on context lines that you haven't
modified.
The only downside I see to adding this at the top level is if there
are any sub-directories that don't follow the tabs/spaces indentation
rules very well already, in those directories you'll end up hitting
issues any time you edit a line. For GDB we're usually pretty good,
so having this highlighting isn't an issue.

opcodes: add new sub-mnemonic disassembler style
I added a new disassembler style dis_style_sub_mnemonic, but forgot to
add GDB support for this style. Fix this oversight in this commit.
This commit adds disassembler styling to the libopcodes ppc
disassembler. This conversion was pretty straight forward, I just
converted the fprintf_func calls to fprintf_styled_func calls and
added an appropriate style.
For testing the new styling I just assembled then disassembled the
source files in gas/testsuite/gas/ppc and manually checked that the
styling looked reasonable.
I think the only slightly weird case was how things like '4*cr1+eq'
are styled. As best I can tell, this construct, used for example in
this instruction:
crand 4*cr1+lt,4*cr1+gt,4*cr1+eq
is used to access a field of a control register. I initially tried
styling this whole construct as a register[1], but during review it
was suggested that instead different parts of the text should have
different styles. In this commit I propose styling '4*cr1+lt' like
this:
4 - immediate,
* - text,
cr1 - register
+ - text
lt - sub-mnemonic
If the user does not request styled output from objdump, then there
should be no change in the disassembler output after this commit.
[1] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-July/121771.html
When adding libopcodes disassembler styling support for AArch64, it
feels like the results would be improved by having a new sub-mnemonic
style. This will be used in cases like:
add w16, w7, w1, uxtb #2
^^^^----- Here
And:
cinc w0, w1, ne
^^----- Here
This commit just adds the new style, and prepares objdump to handle
the style. A later commit will add AArch64 styling, and will actually
make use of the style.
As this style is currently unused, there should be no user visible
changes after this commit.

On seeing PR29369 my suspicion was naturally on a recent powerpc64
change, commit 0ab80031430e. Without a reproducer, I spent time
wondering what could have gone wrong, and while I doubt this patch
would have fixed the PR, there are some improvements that can be made
to cater for user silliness.
I also noticed that when -z relro -z now sections are created out of
order, with .got before .plt in the section headers but .got is laid
out at a higher address. That's due to the address expression for
.branch_lt referencing SIZEOF(.got) and so calling init_os (which
creates a bfd section) for .got before the .plt section is created.
Fix that by ignoring SIZEOF in exp_init_os. Unlike ADDR and LOADADDR
which need to reference section vma and lma respectively, SIZEOF can
and does cope with a missing bfd section by returning zero for its
size, which of course is correct.

This patch adds a test case to try to clear an internal python

gdb: fix using clear command to delete non-user breakpoints(PR cli/7161)
Tested on x86_64 openSUSE Tumbleweed.
The get_maint_bp_addr procedure will be shared by other test suite, so
move it to gdb-utils.exp.
Following Andrew's suggestion, I renamed get_maint_bp_addr to
gdb_get_bp_addr, since it would have handled normal breakpoints in
addition to the internal ones. Note that there is still room for
improvement in this procedure, which I indicated in comments nearby.
When running test-case gdb.cp/cpexprs-debug-types.exp with target board
cc-with-debug-names on a system with gcc 12.1.1 (defaulting to dwarf 5), I
run into:
...
(gdb) file cpexprs-debug-types^M
Reading symbols from cpexprs-debug-types...^M
warning: Section .debug_aranges in cpexprs-debug-types has duplicate \
debug_info_offset 0x0, ignoring .debug_aranges.^M
gdb/dwarf2/read.h:309: internal-error: set_length: \
Assertion `m_length == length' failed.^M
...
The exec contains a .debug_names section, which gdb rejects due to
.debug_names containing a list of TUs, while the exec doesn't contain a
.debug_types section (which is what you'd expect for dwarf 4).
Gdb then falls back onto the cooked index, which calls create_all_comp_units
to create all_comp_units. However, the failed index reading left some
elements in all_comp_units, so we end up with duplicates in all_comp_units,
which causes the misleading complaint and the assert.
Fix this by:
- asserting at the start of create_all_comp_units that all_comp_units is empty,
as we do in create_cus_from_index and create_cus_from_debug_names, and
- cleaning up all_comp_units when failing in dwarf2_read_debug_names.
Add a similar cleanup in dwarf2_read_gdb_index.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Some Ada tests repeat their test sequence with different gnat-encodings,
typically "all" and "minimal". However, they give the same name to both
binaries, meaning the second run overwrites the binary of the first run.
This makes it difficult and confusing when trying to reproduce problems
manually with the test artifacts. Change those tests to use unique
names for each pass.

This commit makes use of gdb::checked_static_cast when casting the
generic gdbarch_tdep pointer to a specific sub-class type. This means
that, when compiled in developer mode, GDB will validate that the cast
is correct.
In order to use gdb::checked_static_cast the types involved must have
RTTI, which is why the gdbarch_tdep base class now has a virtual
destructor.
Assuming there are no bugs in GDB where we cast a gdbarch_tdep pointer
to the wrong type, then there should be no changes after this commit.
If any bugs do exist, then GDB will now assert (in a developer build).
This commit was inspired by these mailing list posts:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-June/190323.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-April/188098.html
The idea is to add a new function gdb::checked_static_cast, which can,
in some cases, be used as a drop-in replacement for static_cast. And
so, if I previously wrote this:
BaseClass *base = get_base_class_pointer ();
DerivedClass *derived = static_cast<DerivedClass *> (base);
I can now write:
BaseClass *base = get_base_class_pointer ();
DerivedClass *derived = gdb::checked_static_cast<DerivedClass *> (base);
The requirement is that BaseClass and DerivedClass must be
polymorphic.
The benefit of making this change is that, when GDB is built in
developer mode, a run-time check will be made to ensure that `base`
really is of type DerivedClass before the cast is performed. If
`base` is not of type DerivedClass then GDB will assert.
In a non-developer build gdb::checked_static_cast is equivalent to a
static_cast, and there should be no performance difference.
This commit adds the support function, but does not make use of this
function, a use will be added in the next commit.

I built GDB for all targets on a x86-64/GNU-Linux system, and
then (accidentally) passed GDB a RISC-V binary, and asked GDB to "run"
the binary on the native target. I got this error:
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386").
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.rv32.exe
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.rv32.exe...
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "riscv:rv32").

../../src/gdb/i387-tdep.c:596: internal-error: i387_supply_fxsave: Assertion `tdep->st0_regnum >= I386_ST0_REGNUM' failed.
What's going on here is this; initially the architecture is i386, this
is based on the default architecture, which is set based on the native
target. After loading the RISC-V executable the architecture of the
current inferior is updated based on the architecture of the
executable.
When we "run", GDB does a fork & exec, with the inferior being
controlled through ptrace. GDB sees an initial stop from the inferior
as soon as the inferior comes to life. In response to this stop GDB
ends up calling save_stop_reason (linux-nat.c), which ends up trying
to read register from the inferior, to do this we end up calling
target_ops::fetch_registers, which, for the x86-64 native target,
calls amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers.
After this I eventually end up in i387_supply_fxsave, different x86
based targets will end in different functions to fetch registers, but
it doesn't really matter which function we end up in, the problem is
this line, which is repeated in many places:
i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
The problem here is that the ARCH in this line comes from the current
inferior, which, as we discussed above, will be a RISC-V gdbarch, the
tdep field will actually be of type riscv_gdbarch_tdep, not
i386_gdbarch_tdep. After this cast we are relying on undefined
behaviour, in my case I happen to trigger an assert, but this might
not always be the case.
The thing I tried that exposed this problem was of course, trying to
start an executable of the wrong architecture on a native target. I
don't think that the correct solution for this problem is to detect,
at the point of cast, that the gdbarch_tdep object is of the wrong
type, but, I did wonder, is there a way that we could protect
ourselves from incorrectly casting the gdbarch_tdep object?
I think that there is something we can do here, and this commit is the
first step in that direction, though no actual check is added by this
commit.
This commit can be split into two parts:
(1) In gdbarch.h and arch-utils.c. In these files I have modified
gdbarch_tdep (the function) so that it now takes a template argument,
like this:
template<typename TDepType>
static inline TDepType *
gdbarch_tdep (struct gdbarch *gdbarch)
{
struct gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep_1 (gdbarch);
return static_cast<TDepType *> (tdep);
}
After this change we are no better protected, but the cast is now
done within the gdbarch_tdep function rather than at the call sites,
this leads to the second, much larger change in this commit,
(2) Everywhere gdbarch_tdep is called, we make changes like this:
- i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
+ i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep<i386_gdbarch_tdep> (arch);
There should be no functional change after this commit.
In the next commit I will build on this change to add an assertion in
gdbarch_tdep that checks we are casting to the correct type.
The three targets that implement gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address are
arm, frv, and mips. In each of these targets the adjust breakpoint
address function does some combination of reading the symbol table, or
reading memory at the location the breakpoint could be placed.
The problem is that performing these actions requires that the current
inferior and program space be the one in which the breakpoint will be
placed, and this is not currently always the case.
Consider a GDB session with multiple inferiors. One inferior might be
a native target while another could be a remote target of a completely
different architecture. Alternatively, if we consider ARM and
AArch64, one native inferior might be AArch64, while a second native
inferior could be ARM.
In these cases it is possible, and valid, for a user to have one
inferior selected, and place a breakpoint in the other inferior by
placing a breakpoint on a particular symbol.
If this happens, then currently, when
gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address is called, the wrong inferior (and
program space) will be selected, and memory reads, and symbol look
ups, will not return the expected results, this could lead to
breakpoints being placed in the wrong location.
There are currently two places where gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address
is called:
1. In infrun.c, in the function handle_step_into_function. In this
case, I believe that the correct inferior and program space will
already be selected as this is called as part of the stop event
handling, so I don't think we need to worry about this case, and
2. In breakpoint.c, in the function adjust_breakpoint_address, which
is itself called from code_breakpoint::add_location and
watch_command_1.
The watch_command_1 case I don't think we need to worry about, this
is for when a local watch expression is created, which can only be
in the currently selected inferior, so this case should be fine.
The code_breakpoint::add_location case is the one that needs fixing,
this is what allows a breakpoint to be created between inferiors.
To fix the code_breakpoint::add_location case, I propose that we pass
the "correct" program_space (i.e. the program space in which the
breakpoint will be created) to the adjust_breakpoint_address function.
Then in adjust_breakpoint_address we can make use of
switch_to_program_space_and_thread to switch program_space and
inferior before calling gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address.
I discovered this issue while working on a later patch in this
series. This later patch will detect when we cast the result of
gdbarch_tdep to the wrong type.
With this later patch in place I ran gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp on an
AArch64 target. In this situation, two inferiors are created, an
AArch64 inferior, and an ARM inferior. The test selected the AArch64
inferior and tries to create a breakpoint in the ARM inferior.
As a result of this we end up in arm_adjust_breakpoint_address, which
calls arm_pc_is_thumb. Before this commit the AArch64 inferior would
be current. As a result, all of the checks in arm_pc_is_thumb would
fail (they rely on reading symbols from the current program space),
and so, at the end of arm_pc_is_thumb we would call
arm_frame_is_thumb. However, remember, at this point the current
inferior is the AArch64 inferior, so the current frame is an AArch64
frame.
In arm_frame_is_thumb we call arm_psr_thumb_bit, which calls
gdbarch_tdep and casts the result to arm_gdbarch_tdep. This is wrong,
the tdep field is of type aarch64_gdbarch_tdep. After this we have
undefined behaviour.
With this patch in place, we will have switched to a thread in the ARM
program space before calling arm_adjust_breakpoint_address. As a
result, we now succeed in looking up the required symbols in
arm_pc_is_thumb, and so we never call arm_frame_is_thumb.
However, in the worst case scenario, if we did end up calling
arm_frame_is_thumb, as the current inferior should now be the ARM
inferior, the current frame should be an ARM frame, so we still should
not hit undefined behaviour.
I have added an assert to arm_frame_is_thumb.
This commit is similar to the previous commit, but in this case GDB is
actually relying on undefined behaviour.
Consider building GDB for all targets on x86-64/GNU-Linux, then doing
this:
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is auto.
The 32 bit address mask is set automatically. Currently disabled
(gdb)
The 'show mips mask-address' command ends up in show_mask_address in
mips-tdep.c, and this function does this:
mips_gdbarch_tdep *tdep
= (mips_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (target_gdbarch ());
Later we might pass TDEP to mips_mask_address_p. However, in my
example above, on an x86-64 native target, the current target
architecture will be an x86-64 gdbarch, and the tdep field within the
gdbarch will be of type i386_gdbarch_tdep, not of type
mips_gdbarch_tdep, as a result the cast above was incorrect, and TDEP
is not pointing at what it thinks it is.
I also think the current output is a little confusing, we appear to
have two lines that show the same information, but using different
words.
The first line comes from calling deprecated_show_value_hack, while
the second line is printed directly from show_mask_address. However,
both of these lines are printing the same mask_address_var value. I
don't think the two lines actually adds any value here.
Finally, none of the text in this function is passed through the
internationalisation mechanism.
It would be nice to remove another use of deprecated_show_value_hack
if possible, so this commit does a complete rewrite of
show_mask_address.
After this commit the output of the above example command, still on my
x86-64 native target is:
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is "auto" (current architecture is not MIPS).
The 'current architecture is not MIPS' text is only displayed when the
current architecture is not MIPS. If the architecture is mips then we
get the more commonly seen 'currently "on"' or 'currently "off"', like
this:
(gdb) set architecture mips
The target architecture is set to "mips".
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is "auto" (currently "off").
(gdb)
All the text is passed through the internationalisation mechanism, and
we only call gdbarch_tdep when we know the gdbarch architecture is
bfd_arch_mips.
This is a small refactor to resolve an issue before it becomes a
problem in a later commit.
Move the fetching of an arm_gdbarch_tdep into a more inner scope
within two functions in arm-tdep.c.
The problem with the current code is that the functions in question
are used as the callbacks for two set/show parameters. These set/show
parameters are available no matter the current architecture, but are
really about controlling an ARM architecture specific setting. And
so, if I build GDB for all targets on an x86-64/GNU-Linux system, I
can still do this:
(gdb) show arm fpu
(gdb) show arm abi
After these calls we end up in show_fp_model and arm_show_abi
respectively, where we unconditionally do this:
arm_gdbarch_tdep *tdep
= (arm_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (target_gdbarch ());
However, the gdbarch_tdep() result will only be a arm_gdbarch_tdep if
the current architecture is ARM, otherwise the result will actually be
of some other type.
This isn't actually a problem, as in both cases the use of tdep is
guarded by a later check that the gdbarch architecture is
bfd_arch_arm.
This commit just moves the call to gdbarch_tdep() after the
architecture check.
In a later commit gdbarch_tdep() will be able to spot when we are
casting the result to the wrong type, and this function will trigger
assertion failures if things are not fixed.
There should be not user visible changes after this commit.
All usages of this helper are really made to check if the register is
one of the alternative SP registers (MSP/MSP_S/MSP_NS/PSP/PSP_S/PSP_NS)
with the ARM_SP_REGNUM case being handled separately.

Fix this by also allowing line number 0.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
This should hopefully fix buildbot builder gdb-rawhide-x86_64.
