When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:
configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation
Solution 1:
Adjust the code based on the example at that URL.
Problem 2 (in zlib/):
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Solution 2:
Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
Problem 3:
doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Rather than stuffing the command line with a bunch of -D flags, start
moving things to config.h which is managed by autoheader. This makes
the makefile a bit simpler and the build output tighter, and it makes
the migration to automake easier as there are fewer vars to juggle.
We'll want to move the other options out too, but it'll take more work.
This was imported from the ppc sim, but that was only used to control
a single file, and that is already governed by the hw models. There's
no need to have a sep configure option here, especially since none of
the other sims are using it. Even when the code is enabled, there's
no runtime overhead.
Currently ports have to call SIM_AC_OPTION_ENVIRONMENT explicitly in
order to make the configure flag available. There's no real reason
to not allow this flag for all ports, so move it to the common sim
macro. This way we get standard behavior across all ports too.
Currently ports have to call SIM_AC_OPTION_ASSERT explicitly in order
to make the configure flag available, which none of them do. There's
no real reason to not allow this flag for all ports, so move it to the
common sim macro. This way we get standard behavior across all ports.
We don't have alternative nltvals.def files, so always symlinking
the targ-vals.def file to it doesn't gain us anything. It does
make the build more complicated though and a pain to convert to
something newer (like automake). Drop the symlinking entirely.
In the future, we'll want to explode this file anyways into the
respective arch dirs so things can be selected dynamically at
runtime, so it's not like we'll be bringing this back.
Currently ports have to call SIM_AC_OPTION_INLINE explicitly in order
to make the configure flag available. There's no real reason to not
allow this flag for all ports, so move it to the common sim macro.
This way we get standard behavior across all ports too.
These options were never exposed for most sims (just the ppc one),
and they are really only useful on 32-bit x86 systems. Considering
modern systems tend to be 64-bit x86_64 and how well modern compilers
are at optimizing code, these have outlived their usefulness.
No other sub directory provides such a configuration option, so
drop it from the sim dir as well. This cleans up a good bit of
code in the process.
If people want to use custom flags for just the sim, they can
still run configure+make by hand in the sim subdir and use the
normal CFLAGS settings.
The common subdir sets up a cconfig.h file to hold checks for the common
code. In practice, most files still end up using config.h instead which
just leads to confusion.
Merge all the configure checks that went into cconfig.h into SIM_AC_COMMON
so we can drop the cconfig.h file altogether. Now there is only a single
config.h file like normal.
The compiler/C library should produce reasonable code for htonl/ntohl,
and at least glibc tries pretty hard to always produce good code for
them. This logic only had support for 32-bit x86 systems anymore, and
it's unlikely people were even opting into this, so drop it all.
Fix a long standing todo where we let getopt write directly to stderr
when an invalid option is passed. Use the sim io funcs instead as they
go through the filtered callbacks that gdb wants.
The --enable-sim-hostendian flag was purely so people had an escape route
for when cross-compiling. This is because historically, AC_C_BIGENDIAN
did not work in those cases. That was fixed a while ago though, so we can
require that macro everywhere now and simplify a good bit of code.
Rather than re-invent endian defines, as well as maintain our own list
of OS & arch-specific includes, punt all that logic in favor of the bfd
ones already set up and maintained elsewhere. We already rely on the
bfd library, so leveraging the endian aspect should be fine.
The global current_state handle to the current simulator state is a
design idea that was half implemented, but never really cleaned up.
The point was to have a global variable pointing to the state so that
funcs could more quickly & easily access the state anywhere. We've
instead moved in the direction of passing state around everywhere and
don't have any intention of moving back.
I also can't find any references to gdb using this variable, or to
cgen related "dump_regs" functions, both of which were used in the
comments related to this code.
Pretty much all targets are using this module already, so add it to the
common list of objects. The only oddball out here is cris and that's
because it supports loading via an offset for all the phdrs. We drop
support for that.
No arch is using this anymore, and we want all new ports using the
hardware framework instead. Punt WITH_DEVICES and the two callbacks
device_io_{read,write}_buffer.
We can also punt the tconfig.h file as no port is using it anymore.
This fixes in-tree builds that get confused by picking up the wrong
one (common/ vs <port>/) caused by commit ae7d0cac8c.
Any port that needs to set up a global define can use their own
sim-main.h file that they must provide regardless.
For targets that process argv in sim_create_inferior, improve the code:
- provide more details in the comment
- make the check for when to re-init more robust
- clean out legacy sim_copy_argv code
This will be cleaned up more in the future when we have a common inferior
creation function, but at least help new ports get it right until then.
The frv port used the device logic to support a single cache address,
and the comments around that are "these were merely copied from a diff
port and are unused", plus the code to attach the memory is "#if 0".
Just punt it all.
Rather than include this for some targets, set it up so we can build it
all the time via the common code. This makes it easier for targets to
opt into it when they're ready, increases build coverage, and allows us
to centralize much of the logic.
We also get to delete tconfig.h from two more targets -- they were
setting WITH_DEVICES to 0 which has the same behavior as not defining
it at all.
While the SIM_HAVE_MODEL knob is gone, we now have WITH_MODEL_P, but it
is only used by the common sim-model code. We use it to declare dummy
model lists when the arch hasn't created its own.
The "MACH" and "MODEL" names are a bit generic and collide with symbols
used by other sections of code (like h8300's opcodes). Since these are
sim-specific types, they really should have a "SIM_" prefix.
Only four targets implement this function, and three of them do nothing.
The 4th merely calls abort. Since calls to this function are followed
by calls to sim_hw_abort or sim_io_error, this is largely useless. In
the two places where we don't, replace the call with sim_engine_abort.
We want to kill off the WITH_DEVICES logic in favor of WITH_HW, so this
is a good first step.
Most targets already default to loading code via their LMA, but for
a few, this means the default changes from loading VMA to LMA. It's
better to have the different targets be consistent, and allows some
code clean up.
This code relies on the old sim-break module, but that was deleted in 2003.
The module only existed for gdb to tell the sim to set breakpoints on its
behalf, but then that logic was abandoned in favor of gdb knowing all about
proper breakpoints (since it does already for non-sim targets). Some dead
code lived on in the older ports though -- clean it up now.
We build & bundle the watchpoint module everywhere, but we don't make
the command line flags available by default. A few targets opted in,
but most did not. Just enable the flag for everyone. Not all targets
will respect the flags (making them nops), but shouldn't be a big deal.
This is how we handle other common modules already.
Now that all arches (for the most part) have moved over, move sim-stop.o,
sim-reason.o, and sim-reg.o to the common object list and out of all the
arch ports.
Other than the nice advantage of all sims having to declare one fewer
common function, this also fixes leakage in pretty much every sim.
Many were not freeing any resources, and a few were inconsistent as
to the ones they did. Now we have a single module that takes care of
all the logic for us.
Most of the non-cgen based ones could be deleted outright. The cgen
ones required adding a callback to the arch-specific cleanup func.
The few that still have close callbacks are to manage their internal
state.
We do not convert erc32, m32c, ppc, rl78, or rx as they do not use
the common sim core.
The cgen code declares some macros/funcs using the trace_xxx prefix, but
the code isn't generic and only works with cgen targets. This is blocking
the creation of new common trace functions.
Let's blindly add cgen_xxx prefixes to all these symbols. Some already
use this convention to avoid conflicts, so it makes sense to align them.
In the future we might want to move some to the common trace core, but
one thing at a time.
This is the only sim that sets up its own WITH_TRACE mask and it conflicts
with the user setting their own list at configure time. Drop it to match
all the other sims.
Since every target typedefs this the same way, move it to the common code.
We have to leave Blackfin behind here for now because of inter-dependencies
on types and headers: sim-base.h includes sim-model.h which needs types in
machs.h which needs types in bfim-sim.h which needs SIM_CPU.
Almost every target defines sim_cia the same way -- either using the
address_word type directly, or a type of equivalent size. The only
odd one out is sh64 (who has 32bit address_word and 64bit cia), and
even that case doesn't seem to make sense. We'll put off clean up
though of sh64 and at least set up a sensible default for everyone.
The CIA_{GET,SET} macros serve the same function as CPU_PC_{GET,SET}
except the latter adds a layer of indirection via the sim state. This
lets models set up different functions at runtime and doesn't reach so
directly into the arch-specific cpu state.
It also doesn't make sense to have two sets of macros that do exactly
the same thing, so lets standardize on the one that gets us more.
Now that all the targets are utilizing CPU_PC_{FETCH,STORE}, and the
cpu state is multicore, and the STATE_CPU defines match, we can move
it all to the common code.
This sets up the sim_state structure and the cpu member to match what we
do in most other sims, and what the common code suggests. This is a step
to unifying on the sim-cpu.o object.
