This commit modifies gdb's configure script to trigger an error
if we cannot find a usable libgmp.
For the record, making this a requirement was discussed in March 2018:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2018-March/147373.html
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Generate an error if a usable GMP library
could not be found.
* configure: Regenerate.
This patch allows a user to tell gdb's configure script where
his GMP library is installed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add support for --with-libgmp-prefix.
* Makefile.in (LIBGMP): New variable.
(CLIBS): Include $(LIBGMP).
* configure, config.in: Regenerate
In python 3, itertools is a builtin module, so whether or not the
python you link against is a shared or a static one, importing it
works.
Change the import test to use ctypes which is a dynamic module in both
python 2 and 3.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR python/26832
* configure: Regenerate.
* configure.ac: Check for python modules ctypes instead of
itertools.
Run autoupdate on configure.ac and adjust the indentation of the result
for better readability. This removes a bunch of warnings when running
`autoreconf -vf -Wall`. The changes are:
* Replace AC_INIT with AC_INIT and no arguments plus
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR.
* Replace AC_ERROR with AC_MSG_ERROR.
* Replace AC_TRY_LINK with AC_LINK_IFELSE.
* Replace AC_TRY_COMPILE with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
* Replace AC_HELP_STRING with AS_HELP_STRING.
autoupdate erroneously tries to replace AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE in a comment,
which I reverted manually.
All the changes in the generated configure file are insignificant
whitespaces changes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Modernize.
* configure: Re-generate.

`autoconf -Wall` notes that AM_PROG_CC_STDC is obsolete:
Fixes this autoconf warning:
configure.ac:40: warning: 'AM_PROG_CC_STDC': this macro is obsolete.
configure.ac:40: You should simply use the 'AC_PROG_CC' macro instead.
configure.ac:40: Also, your code should no longer depend upon 'am_cv_prog_cc_stdc',
configure.ac:40: but upon 'ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc'.
aclocal.m4:770: AM_PROG_CC_STDC is expanded from...
configure.ac:40: the top level
Since we build with a C++ compiler now, I don't think this is relevant.
If you look at the messages removed from gdbsupport/aclocal.m4, it says
that this functionality is now integrated in AC_PROG_CC, which we
already call. So it might not even make a difference.
We had a local version of AM_PROG_CC_STDC, in gdb/acinclude.m4 (only
used by gdb/configure.ac), remove it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* acinclude.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_STDC): Remove.
* configure: Re-generate.
* configure.ac: Remove AM_PROG_CC_STDC.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:

`autoreconf -Wall` notes that AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM is obsolete:
configure.ac:36: warning: The macro `AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM' is obsolete.
Replace it by AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST and
AC_CANONICAL_TARGET in configure.ac files in gdb, gdbserver and
gdbsupport. All three macros may not be needed everywhere, but it is
hard to completely audit the configure files to see which are required,
so I think it's better (and that there's no downside) to just call all
three.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Use AC_CANONICAL_{BUILD,HOST,TARGET} instead of
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM.
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Use AC_CANONICAL_{BUILD,HOST,TARGET} instead of

FreeBSD systems have provided these functions in libutil since 7.1
release. The most recent release without support is 6.4 released in
November of 2008.
This also requires libutil-freebsd on GNU/kFreeBSD systems. I assume
that those systems have supported kinfo_get_file and kinfo_get_vmmap
over a similar timeframe.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Remove check for kinfo_getvmmap().
* configure, config.in: Regenerate.
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_read_mapping): Remove
(fbsd_nat_target::find_memory_regions): Remove the procfs version.
(fbsd_nat_target::info_proc): Assume kinfo_getfile() and

gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* common.m4 (GDB_AC_COMMON): Refactor checks for kinfo_getfile().

* configure.ac: Fix sys/sockets.h -> sys/socket.h typo.
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
The original configure-time tests in gdb/ and gdbserver/ failed to
detect that 'socklen_t' is defined in MinGW headers because the test
program included only sys/socket.h, which is absent in MinGW system
headers. However on MS-Windows this data type is declared in another
header, ws2tcpip.h. The modified test programs try using ws2tcpip.h
if sys/socket.h is unavailable.

I recently stumbled on this code mentioning Linux kernel 2.6.25, and
thought it could be time for some spring cleaning (newer GDBs probably
don't need to supports 12-year old kernels). I then found that the
"legacy" case is probably broken anyway, which gives an even better
motivation for its removal.
In short, this patch removes the configure checks that check if
user_regs_struct contains the fs_base/gs_base fields and adjusts all
uses of the HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_{FS,GS}_BASE macros. The
longer explanation/rationale follows.
Apparently, Linux kernels since 2.6.25 (that's from 2008) have been
reliably providing fs_base and gs_base as part of user_regs_struct.
Commit df5d438e33d7 in the Linux kernel [1] seems related. This means
that we can get these values by reading registers with PTRACE_GETREGS.
Previously, these values were obtained using a separate
PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL ptrace call.
First, I'm not even sure the configure check was really right in the
first place.
The user_regs_struct used by GDB comes from
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/user.h (or equivalent on other
distros) and is provided by glibc. glibc has had the fs_base/gs_base
fields in there for a very long time, at least since this commit from
2001 [2]. The Linux kernel also has its version of user_regs_struct,
which I think was exported to user-space at some point. It included the
fs_base/gs_base fields since at least this 2002 commit [3]. In any
case, my conclusion is that the fields were there long before the
aforementioned Linux kernel commit. The kernel commit didn't add these
fields, it only made sure that they have reliable values when obtained
with PTRACE_GETREGS.
So, checking for the presence of the fs_base/gs_base fields in struct
user_regs_struct doesn't sound like a good way of knowing if we can
reliably get the fs_base/gs_base values from PTRACE_GETREGS. My guess
is that if we were using that strategy on a < 2.6.25 kernel, things
would not work correctly:
- configure would find that the user_regs_struct has the fs_base/gs_base
fields (which are probided by glibc anyway)
- we would be reading the fs_base/gs_base values using PTRACE_GETREGS,
for which the kernel would provide unreliable values
Second, I have tried to see how things worked by forcing GDB to not use
fs_base/gs_base from PTRACE_GETREGS (forcing it to use the "legacy"
code, by configuring with
ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_gs_base=no ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_fs_base=no
Doing so breaks writing registers back to the inferior. For example,
calling an inferior functions gives an internal error:

The problem seems to be that amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers
calls amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p to know whether gregset provides
fs_base. When !HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE,
amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p returns false. store_registers
therefore assumes that it must be an "xstate" register. This is of
course wrong, and that leads to the failed assertion when
i387_collect_xsave doesn't recognize the register.
amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers could probably be fixed to
handle this case, but I don't think it's worth it, given that it would
only be to support very old kernels.

While working on the preceding selftests patches, I noticed that some
selftests-specific files are included in the build even when selftests
are disabled, namely disasm-selftest.c and gdbarch-selftests.c. These
files are entirely #if'ed out when building with selftests disabled.
This is not a huge problem, but I think it would make more sense if
these files were simply not built.
With this patch, I propose to put all the selftests-specific source
files into a SELFTESTS_SRCS Makefile variable (even selftest-arch.c,
which is currently added by the configure script).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_SRCS): Rename to...
(SELFTESTS_SRCS): ... this. Add disasm-selftests.c,
gdbarch-selfselftests.c and selftest-arch.c.
(SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_OBS): Rename to...
(SELFTESTS_OBS): ... this.
(COMMON_SFILES): Remove disasm-selftests.c and
gdbarch-selftests.c.
* configure.ac: Don't add selftest-arch.{c,o} to
CONFIG_{SRCS,OBS}.
* disasm-selftests.c, gdbarch-selftests.c: Remove GDB_SELF_TEST
preprocessor conditions.
The same is done for gdb, gdbserver and gdbsupport. I therefore think
it makes sense to move that to GDB_AC_COMMON.
It is required to move the call to GDB_AC_COMMON so it is before
GDB_AC_SELFTEST in gdbserver/configure.ac, otherwise the $development
variable isn't set when the code behind GDB_AC_SELFTEST executes.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging
resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP.
This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug
files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them.
GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure
option.
This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.
For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 31.

The motivation behind this commit is to make it easier to bundle the
Python *.py library files with GDB when statically linking GDB against
libpython. The Python files will be manually added into the GDB
installation tree, and GDB should be able to find them at run-time.
The installation tree will look like this:
.
|-- bin/
|-- include/
|-- lib/
| `-- python3.8/
`-- share/
The benefit here is that the entire installation tree can be bundled
into a single archive and copied to another machine with a different
version of Python installed, and GDB will still work, including its
Python support.
In use the new configure options would be used something like this,
first build and install a static Python library:
mkdir python
cd python
# Clone or download Python into a src/ directory.
mkdir build
export PYTHON_INSTALL_PATH=$PWD/install
cd build
../src/configure --disable-shared --prefix=$PYTHON_INSTALL_PATH
make
make install
Now build and install GDB:
mkdir binutils-gdb
cd binutils-gdb
# Clone or download GDB into a src/ directory.
mkdir build
export GDB_INSTALL_DIR=$PWD/install
cd build
../src/configure \
--prefix=$GDB_INSTALL_DIR \
--with-python=$PYTHON_INSTALL_PATH/bin/python3 \
--with-python-libdir=$GDB_INSTALL_DIR/lib
make all-gdb
make install-gdb
Finally, copy the Python libraries into the GDB install:
cp -r $PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR/lib/python3.8/ $GDB_INSTALL_DIR/lib
After this the Python src, build, and install directories are no
longer needed and can be deleted.
If the new --with-python-libdir option is not used then the existing
behaviour is left unchanged, GDB will look for the Python libraries in
the lib/ directory within the python path. The concatenation of the
python prefix and the string 'lib/' is now done at configure time,
rather than at run time in GDB as it was previous, however, this was
never something that the user had dynamic control over, so there's no
loss of functionality.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
* configure.ac: Add --with-python-libdir option.
* main.c: Use WITH_PYTHON_LIBDIR.
This patch moves gdbserver to the top level.
This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still
builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will
be done in a separate patch.
[v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the
tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes
sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here.
[v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a
new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure
script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver
should be built.
[v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary
top-level dependencies.
[v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how
top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a
single, shared script.
Tested by the buildbot.

This moves many needed configure checks from gdb and gdbserver into
common.m4. This helps gdbsupport, nat, and target be self-contained.
The result is a bit spaghetti-ish, because gdbsupport uses another m4
file from gdb/. The resulting code is somewhat non-obvious. However,
these problems already exist, so it's not really that much worse than
what is already done.

This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is
the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top
level.
The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport".
This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into
the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build.
gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its
own build of gdbsupport.

I noticed that USE_WIN32API is defined separately by gdbserver and

There is no need to keep mingw-strerror around; we can just always use
the code from posix-strerror. The main reason we had that code, it
seems, is to handle winsock error codes, but gnulib's version
handles those.

libinproctrace.so uses common-utils but not gnulib.

Unfortunately, XXH3 is still experimental (see

However, regular XXH64 is still a lot faster than
htab_hash_string per my benchmark above. I used the
following string for the benchmark:
static constexpr char str[] = "_ZZZL13make_gdb_typeP7gdbarchP10tdesc_typeEN16gdb_type_creator19make_gdb_type_flagsEPK22tdesc_type_with_fieldsE19__PRETTY_FUNCTION__";
htab_hash_string is currently 4.35% + 7.98% (rehashing) of gdb
startup when attaching to Chrome's content_shell.
An additional 5.21% is spent in msymbol_hash, which does not use
this hash function. Unfortunately, since it has to lowercase the
string, it can't use this hash function.
BM_msymbol_hash 52 ns 52 ns 13281495
It may be worth investigating if strlen+XXHash is still faster than
htab_hash_string, which would make it easier to use in more places.

My earlier patch -- commit c5adaa192 ("Fix creation of stamp-h by
gdb's configure script") -- broke the creation of nm.h. In
particular, configure removes nm.h, so if you touch configure and
rebuild, nothing will re-create the link, breaking the build.
This patch fixes the bug, and also updates configure.ac to use
AC_CONFIG_LINKS, rather than the obsolete AC_LINK_FILES.
Finally, I noticed that gcore is in generated_files in the
Makefile.in. I think this is incorrect, as generated_files is only
needed for files that can be the target of a #include. So, this patch
removes it.

works to use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS and then create the stamp file via the

Currently, no release of GNU Source Highlight supports Rust. However,
I've checked in a patch to do so there, and I plan to make a new
release sometime this summer.
This patch prepares gdb for that by adding support for Rust to the
source highlighting code.
Because Source Highlight will throw an exception if the language is
unrecognized, this also changes gdb to ignore exceptions here. This
will cause gdb to fall back to un-highlighted source text.
This updates gdb's configure script to reject the combination of
Source Highlight and -static-libstdc++. This is done because it's not
possible to use -static-libstdc++ and then catch exceptions from a
shared library.
Tested with the current and development versions of Source Highlight.

This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function.
It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is
thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any
library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these
functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc
ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is
apparently itself being slowly deprecated.
So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the
autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No
testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

This patch moves the gdb/gnulib subdirectory to the top level.
It adjusts the top-level build system to build gnulib when necessary,
and changes gdb to use this. However, gdbserver still builds its own
copy of gnulib, just from the new source location.
A small hack was needed to ensure that gnulib is only built when gdb
is enabled. The Makefile only provides an ordering -- the directory
must be mentioned in configdirs to actually be compiled at all.
Most of the patch is just a "git mv" of gnulib, though a few minor
path adjustments were needed in some files there.
Tested by the buildbot.

PR tui/14126 notes that ANSI terminal escape sequences don't affect
the colors shown in the TUI. A simple way to see this is to try the
extended-prompt example from the gdb manual.
Curses does not pass escape sequences through to the terminal.
Instead, it replaces non-printable characters with a visible
representation, for example "^[" for the ESC character.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a simple ANSI terminal sequence
parser to gdb. These sequences are decoded and those that are
recognized are turned into the appropriate curses calls.
The curses approach to color handling is unusual and so there are some
oddities in the implementation.
Standard curses has no notion of the default colors of the terminal.
So, if you set the foreground color, it is not possible to reset it --
you have to pick some other color. ncurses provides an extension to
handle this, so this patch updates configure and uses it when
available.
Second, in curses, colors always come in pairs: you cannot set just
the foreground. This patch handles this by tracking actually-used
pairs of colors and keeping a table of these for reuse.
Third, there are a limited number of such pairs available. In this
patch, if you try to use too many color combinations, gdb will just
ignore some color changes.
Finally, in addition to limiting the number of color pairs, curses
also limits the number of colors. This means that, when using
extended 8- or 24-bit color sequences, it may be possible to exhaust
the curses color table.
I am very sour on the curses design now.
I do not know how to write a test for this, so I did not.

Commit
e418a61a67 ("Move mkdir_recursive to common/filestuff.c")
moved this code, but also removed the HAVE_MKDTEMP guard which prevented
the mkdtemp call to be compiled on mingw.
We can either put back the HAVE_MKDTEMP ifdef, or import the gnulib
mkdtemp module, which provides the function for mingw. Since the
mkdir_recursive is susceptible to be used on mingw at some point, I
think it would be nice to have it tested on mingw, so I did the latter.
Once built, I tested it on Windows (copied the resulting gdb.exe on a
Windows machine, ran it, and ran "maint selftest mkdir_recursive"). It
failed, because the temporary directory is hardcoded to "/tmp/...". I
therefore added and used a new get_standard_temp_dir function, which
returns an appropriate temporary directory for the host platform.
