This patch enables use of DWARF unwinders for the SPU target.
In addition to appending the DWARF unwinders, we also need to install
a spu_dwarf_reg_to_regnum that maps the raw stack pointer register to
the cooked version (to avoid mismatches with gdbarch_sp_regnum).
This also causes confusion with the AX collect handling, so we also
install ax_pseudo_register routines to handle the cooked SP.

(spu_ax_pseudo_register_push_stack): Likewise.
(spu_dwarf_reg_to_regnum): Likewise.

This patch fixes a problem that prevented use of the Dwarf unwinders on SPU,
because dwarf2-frame.c common code did not support the situation where the
stack and/or frame pointer is maintained in a *vector* register. This is
because read_addr_from_reg is hard-coded to assume that such pointers can
be read from registers via a simple get_frame_register / unpack_pointer
operation.
Now, there *is* a routine address_from_register that calls into the
appropriate tdep routines to handle pointer values in "weird" registers
like on SPU, but it turns out I cannot simply change dwarf2-frame.c to
use address_from_register. This is because address_from_register uses
value_from_register to create a (temporary) value, and that routine
at some point calls get_frame_id in order to set up that value's
VALUE_FRAME_ID entry.
However, the dwarf2-frame.c read_addr_from_reg routine will be called
during early unwinding (to unwind the frame's CFA), at which point the
frame's ID is not actually known yet! This would cause an assert.
On the other hand, we may notice that VALUE_FRAME_ID is only needed in the
value returned by value_from_register if that value is later used as an
lvalue. But this is obviously never done to the temporary value used in
address_from_register. So, if we could change address_from_register to
not call value_from_register but instead accept constructing a value
that doesn't have VALUE_FRAME_ID set, things should be fine.
To do that, we can change the value_from_register callback to accept
a FRAME_ID instead of a FRAME; the only existing uses of the FRAME
argument were either to extract its frame ID, or its gdbarch. (To
keep a way of getting at the latter, we also change the callback's
type from "f" to "m".) Together with the required follow-on changes
in the existing value_from_register implementations (including the
default one), this seems to fix the problem.
As another minor interface cleanup, I've removed the explicit TYPE
argument from address_from_register. This routine really always
uses a default pointer type, and in the new implementation it -to
some extent- relies on that fact, in that it will now no longer
handle types that require gdbarch_convert_register_p handling.

Hi,
We find gdb.base/printcmds.exp fails a lot on windows host, like this,
p ctable1[163]
$204 = 163 '£'
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p ctable1[163]
however, on linux host,
p ctable1[163]
$205 = 163 '\243'
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p ctable1[163]
The printing related code is in valprint.c:print_wchar,
if (gdb_iswprint (w) && (!need_escape || (!gdb_iswdigit (w)
&& w != LCST ('8')
&& w != LCST ('9'))))
{
gdb_wchar_t wchar = w;
if (w == gdb_btowc (quoter) || w == LCST ('\\'))
obstack_grow_wstr (output, LCST ("\\"));
obstack_grow (output, &wchar, sizeof (gdb_wchar_t));
}
else
{
// print W in hex or octal digits
}
When I debug gdb on different hosts, I find
on windows host, gdb_iswprint (iswprint) returns true if 'w' is 163.
However, on linux host, iswprint returns false if 'w' is 163. Looks
this difference is caused by the charset. On Linux host,
the target-charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968, while on windows host, the
target-charset is CP1252.
We can see how target-charset affects the output. On linux host,
(gdb) set target-charset ASCII
(gdb) p ctable1[163]
$1 = 163 '\243'
(gdb) set target-charset CP1252
(gdb) p ctable1[163]
$2 = 163 '£'
we can print the pound sign too, and it shows target-charset does
affect the output.
This patch is to set target-charset temporarily to ASCII for some
charset-sensitive tests. Tested on arm-none-eabi and
powerpc-linux-gnu on mingw32 host. More than one hundred fails are
fixed.

The AArch64 TLSDESC to IE relaxation code uses a bit mask intended to
ensure that destination register in a relaxed ldr instruction is
always X0. The mask has an off by one error resulting in the most
significant bit of the destination register being retained in the
relaxed instruction. The issue generally appears when the compiler
emits TLS accesses code under high register pressure resulting in a
broken code sequence.
This test uses a simple custom elf loader, implemented in
gdb.base/sym-file-loader.h|c. This loader doesn't have a dlclose-like
function today, but I'll need one. But, I found that the guts of the
loader are exposed too much to the client, making the interface more
complicated than necessary. It's simpler if the loader just exports a
few dlopen/dlsym -style functions. That's what this patch does.

* gdb.base/sym-file-loader.c: Fix typo. SELF_LINK, not SELK_LINK.
The main issue here is that this test passes the host's absolute path
to the library to load to the "dlopen"-like routine, which doesn't
work when either the target or the host are remote, unless a shared
filesystem has been set up.
Tests that dynamically load a library solve this by dlopen'ing by
basename, and setting rpath to $ORIGIN. See gdb_compile.
This test doesn't use dlopen, but instead uses its own simple elf
loader. The fix is to pass this loader the library basename, and
teach it to look up the library by basename in the executable's
directory as well, i.e., assuming/emulating RPATH=$ORIGIN.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.
I looked around in the web to figure out Linux's /proc/self/exe
equivalents in other ELF OSs. I think I covered all relevant, but if
not, I think it'll be simple enough to add more. (Note the test is
skipped on non-ELF targets.)

symbol_matches_domain was permitting searches for a VAR_DOMAIN
symbol to also match STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols for languages like C++
where STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols also define a typedef of the same name,
e.g., "struct foo {}" introduces a typedef of the name "foo".
Problems occur if there exists both a VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN
symbol of the same name. Then it is essentially a race between which
symbol is found first. The other symbol is obscurred.
[This is a relatively common idiom: enum e { ... } e;]
This patchset moves this "language defines a typedef" logic to
lookup_symbol[_in_language], looking first for a symbol in the given
domain and falling back to searching STRUCT_DOMAIN when/if appropriate.

Gdb evaluates the expression with EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS and thus
does not resolve the bounds information and misinterprets the high

change in the debugger.
We now are able to get the size of a vla:

In case of a c99 variable length array the upperbound is a dynamic attribute.
With this change c99 vla behave the same as with static arrays.
