This patch makes allocate_on_obstack a little bit safer, by enforcing
the rule that objects allocated on an obstack must have a trivial
destructor.
The static assert is done in a method -- doing it inside the class
itself won't work because the class is incomplete at that point.
The addrmap polymorphism is sort of "phony" in that there isn't really
code in the tree that can be presented with either type. I haven't
tried to fix this (though perhaps I may); but meanwhile it's handy for
the next patch if addrmap_fixed has a trivial destructor. This patch
achieves this by making the addrmap destructor non-virtual, and also
making it protected so that objects of any of these types cannot be
destroyed when only the base class is known.
There are a few spots in the tree that use 'addrmap' where only an
addrmap_fixed will ever really be seen. This patch changes this code
to use the more specific type.
EVENT_MAX is defined as 0x7FFFFFFF (INT_MAX) in winuser.h, so when
building on Windows, the value is overridden and compilation fails
because the array size of evbuf is too large.

In commit a08dc2aa00 (gdb: syscalls: Add loongarch-linux.xml.in),
it needs special handling when generating xml file. This should at
least be mentioned in the file comment rather than git log to help
the next person who regenerates this file understand what needs to
be done, suggested by Pedro Alves, thank you.
At the beginning, I only added the tips in loongarch-linux.xml.in,
after executing the command "make" to generate loongarch-linux.xml
from loongarch-linux.xml.in, it generates the same tips in the file
loongarch-linux.xml automatically, so update loongarch-linux.xml.in
and loongarch-linux.xml together.

It's currently not possible to cast an in-memory value of a primitive
type to const reference:
```
(gdb) p Q.id
$1 = 42
(gdb) p (int&)Q.id
$2 = (int &) @0x22fd0c: 42
(gdb) p (const int&)Q.id
Attempt to take address of value not located in memory.
```
And if in a function call an argument needs the same kind of casting,
it also doesn't work:
```
(gdb) l f3
39 int f3(const int &i)
40 {
41 return i;
42 }
(gdb) p f3(Q.id)
Attempt to take address of value not located in memory.
```
It's because when the constness of the type changes in a call to
value_cast, a new not_lval value is allocated, which doesn't exist
in the target memory.
Fixed by ignoring const/volatile/restrict qualifications in
value_cast when comparing cast type to original type, so the new
value will point to the same location as the original value:
```
(gdb) p (int&)i
$2 = (int &) @0x39f72c: 1
(gdb) p (const int&)i
$3 = (const int &) @0x39f72c: 1

Add a pre-commit [1] config file, with a single hook to run black on the
gdb directory whenever a Python file is modified. We can always add
more hooks if we find some that are useful.
Using pre-commit to run hooks is opt-in, as in it's not mandatory at all
for development, but it can be useful to run some checks that are easy
to forget (like running black). The hooks run locally on the
developer's machine when doing `git commit` (although they can also be
configured to run at other stages of the git workflow).
Follow these instructions to install the hooks in your local development
git repository:
- Install pre-commit the way you prefer. It can be using your OS
package manager if it has a recent enough version, or using `pip
install pre-commit`.
- Go to the binutils-gdb repository and run `pre-commit install`.
This installs a git hook at `.git/hooks/pre-commit`.
Now, whenever you modify and try to commit a Python file, pre-commit
will run black on it. For instance, if I try to insert something
misformatted, I get this when doing `git commit`:
$ git commit
black....................................................................Failed
- hook id: black
- files were modified by this hook
reformatted gdb/python/lib/gdb/dap/breakpoint.py
All done! ✨🍰✨
1 file reformatted.
At this point, black has already reformatted the files in place, so the
changes that fix the formatting are ready to add and commit. black is
only ran on files modified in the commit.
The hook defines a black version, which is downloaded at `pre-commit
install` time. pre-commit manages its own env at
`$HOME/.cache/pre-commit/<some-hash>`, so it won't use the version of
black you have installed already. This may help ensure that
contributors use the right black version.
The procedure when there is a new version of black (or a new version of
any hook we might be using in the future) is:
- Modify .pre-commit-config.yaml to change the version number, push to
the upstream repo.
- Have contributors run `pre-commit autoupdate` to make their local
pre-commit installation update the hooks.
It is possible to have pre-commit skip some hooks if needed [2].
I will add these instructions to the wiki if this patch gets merged, so
they are easy to find. We could perhaps think of having a
gdb/CONTRIBUTING document of some sort checked in the repo with that
kind of information.
I have not used pre-commit in a real project before, but have heard good
things from it. If we want to give it a try before pushing it to the
repo, some volunteers can copy the .pre-commit-config.yaml file locally
and try it for some time. However, pushing the file upstream is not
going to impact anybody who doesn't care about it, so I'd say it's
relatively low-risk to push it right now.

Currently it's not possible to call functions if an argument is a

6 int main()
7 {
8 int a[2][2] = {{0, 1}, {2, 3}};
9 return f (a);
10 }
(gdb) p f(a)
Cannot resolve function f to any overloaded instance
```
This happens because types_equal doesn't handle array types, so the
function is never even considered as a possibility.
With array type handling added, by comparing element types and array
bounds, the same works:
```
(gdb) p f(a)
$1 = 1
```

I noticed that "info locals" on a certain large Ada program was very
slow. I tracked this down to ada_get_tsd_type expanding nearly every
CU in the program.
This patch fixes the problem by changing this code to use the more
efficient lookup_transparent_type which, unlike the Ada-specific
lookup functions, does not try to find all matching instances.
Note that I first tried fixing this by changing ada_find_any_type, but
this did not work -- I may revisit this approach at some later date.
Also note that the copyright dates on the test files are set that way
because I copied them from another test.
New in v2: the new test failed on the Linaro regression tester.
Looking at the logs, it seems that gdb was picking up a 'value' from
libgnat:
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0xf7e227a4 <ada.calendar.formatting.value>
This version renames the local variable in an attempt to work around
this.
v3: In v2, while trying to reproduce the problem locally, I
accidentally forgot to commit one of the changes.
flake8 points out that some code in frame_filters.py is referring to
undefined variables.
In the first hunk, I've changed the code to match what other
'complete' methods do in this file.
In the second hunk, I've simply removed the try/except -- if
get_filter_priority fails, it will raise GdbError, which is already
handled properly by gdb.
The gdb.solib_name() and Progspace.solib_name() functions can throw an
exception if the address argument is not a valid address, but this is
not currently tested.
This commit adds a couple of tests to check that exceptions are thrown
correctly.
An early version of this commit updated the documentation, but it was
pointed out that lots of functions throw an exception if passed an
argument of the wrong type, and we don't document all of these, it's
kind-of assumed that passing an object of the incorrect type might
result in an exception, so this updated version leaves the docs alone,
but I do think adding the extra tests has value.
There's no changes to GDB itself in this commit.

[gdb/build] Fix static cast of virtual base
addressed an issue where GDB would not compile in production mode due
to a use of gdb::checked_static_cast. The problem was that we were
asking GDB to cast from a virtual base class to a sub-class, this
works fine when using dynamic_cast, but does not work with
static_cast.
The gdb::checked_static_cast actually uses dynamic_cast under the hood
in development mode in order to ensure that the cast is valid, while
in a production build we use static_cast as this is more efficient.
What this meant however, was that when gdb::checked_static_cast was
used to cast from a virtual base class, the dynamic_cast of a
non-production build worked fine, while the production build's
static_cast caused a build failure.
However, the gdb::checked_static_cast function already contains some
static_assert calls that are intended to catch any issues with invalid
type casting, the goal of these asserts was to prevent issues like
this: the build only failing in production mode. Clearly the current
asserts are not enough.
I don't think there is a std::is_virtual_base type trait check, so
what I propose instead is that in non-production mode we also make use
of static_cast. This will ensure that any errors that crop up in
production mode should also be revealed in non-production mode, and
should catch issues like this in the future.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

In commit 2aaba74446 ("[gdb] Fix "value is not available" with debug frame")
I fixed a case in frame_unwind_register_value where using "set debug frame on"
caused an "info frame" command to abort, reporting a "value is not available"
error, due to the tpidruro register being unavailable.
Subsequently, commit bbb12eb9c8 ("gdb/arm: Remove tpidruro register from
non-FreeBSD target descriptions") removed the unavailable register, which
caused a progression on test-case gdb.base/inline-frame-cycle-unwind.exp.
While investigating the progression (see PR python/31437), I found that the
"debug frame" output of the test-case (when reverting commit bbb12eb9c8)
showed a smilar problem:
...
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: value is not available^M
...
that was absent without "debug frame".
Fix this likewise in fetch_lazy_register, and update the test-case to check
for the exception.
Furthermore, I realized that there's both value::entirely_available and
value::entirely_unavailable, and that commit 2aaba74446 handled the case
of !entirely_available by printing unavailable.
Instead, print:
- "unavailable" for entirely_unavailable, and
- "partly unavailable" for !entirely_unavailable && !entirely_available.

ada_bitwise_operation differs from the "usual" bitwise operations only
in that it calls value_cast at the end. However, because gdb is
generally fairly lax about integer types, and because (perhaps oddly)
C-style binary promotion is done here anyway, it seems to me that this
code isn't needed.
ptype is a bit funny, in that it accepts both expressions and type
names. It also evaluates the resulting expression using
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS -- which both seems sensible (as a user would
you expect ptype to possibly cause inferior execution?), but is also a
historical artifact of how expressions are implemented (there's no
EVAL_FOR_TYPE).
In Ada, calling a function with an array will sometimes result in a
"thick pointer" array descriptor being made. This is essentially a
structure holding a pointer and bounds information.
Currently, in such a callee, printing the type of the array will yield
funny results:
(gdb) print str.all
$1 = "Hello World"
(gdb) ptype str
type = array (<>) of character
(gdb) ptype str.all
type = array (1 .. 0) of character
That "1 .. 0" is the result of an EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS branch
trying to do "something" with an array descriptor, without doing too
much.
I tried briefly to make this code really dereference the array
descriptor and get the correct runtime type. However, that proved to
be tricky; it certainly can't be done for all access types, because
that will cause dynamic type resolution and end up printing just the
runtime type -- which with variants may be pretty far from what the
user may expect.
Instead, this patch arranges to just leave such types alone in this
situation. I don't think this should have an extra effects, because
things like array subscripting still work on thick pointers.
This patch also touches arrayptr.exp, because in that case the access
type is a "thin pointer", and this ensures that the output does not
change in that scenario.
quirk_rust_enum makes string copies to store in an unordered_map.
However, the original strings have an appropriate lifetime, and so no
copying is needed. With C++17, we can rely on string_view having a
std::hash specialization, so this patch changes this code to use
string_view rather than string.
This patch arranges to set __file__ when source'ing a Python script.
This fixes a problem that was introduced by the "source" rewrite, and
then pointed out by Lancelot Six.
