Rather than require $AR be set and then default to `ar`, use the
standard AC_CHECK_TOOL helper to find a good prefixed tool. In
practice this shouldn't change much as we seem to have macros in
the tree that were already setting it up, but we shouldn't rely
on that implicitly.
All the scripts were using this implicitly already, so there's no real
change for them, but we want to call it explicitly as the CPP tool is
used to generate nltvals.def.
This file is quite large and is getting unmanageable. Split it apart
to follow aclocal best practices by putting one-macro-per-file. There
shouldn't be any real functional changes here as can be seen in the
configure script regens.
Rather than hand maintain m4 includes in various autotool files,
use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS to declare the relevant search paths.
This simplifies the code, makes it more robust, and cleans out
unused logic from configure.
The AC_CONFIG_HEADER macro is long deprecated, so switch to the
newer form. This also gets rid of the position limitation, and
drops support for an argument to SIM_AC_COMMON which we haven't
used anywhere.
These settings might have made sense in darker compiler times, but I
think they're largely obsolete now. Looking through the values that
get used in HDEFINES, it's quite limited, and configure itself should
handle them. If we still need something, we can leverage standard
autoconf macros instead, after we get a clear user report.
TDEFINES was never set anywhere and was always empty, so prune that.
Since we require C11 now, we can assume many headers exist, and
clean up all of the conditional includes. It's not like any of
this code actually accounted for the headers not existing, just
whether we could include them.
The strings.h cleanup is a little nuanced: it isn't in C11, but
every use of it in the codebase will include strings.h only if
string.h doesn't exist. Since we now assume the C11 string.h
exists, we'll never include strings.h, so we can delete it.
We've had this off for a long time because the sim code was way too
full of warnings for it to be feasible. However, I've cleaned things
up significantly from when this was first merged, and we can start to
turn this around.
Change the macro to enable -Werror by default, and allow ports to opt
out. New ports will get it automatically (and we can push back on
them if they try to turn it off).
Also turn it off for the few ports that still hit warnings for me.
All the rest will get the new default, and we'll wait for feedback
if/when new issues come up.
With GDB requiring a C++11 compiler now, this hopefully shouldn't
be a big deal. It's been 10 years since C11 came out, so should
be plenty of time to upgrade.
This will allow us to start cleaning up random header logic and
many of our non-standard custom types.
We don't want arch-specific entries in the common ChangeLog files.
Most arches do this already, so clean up the recent additions, and
move some older entries down to help avoid confusing newcomers.
This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start
of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Don't assume that cgen is located within the binutils-gdb tree. We
already have CGEN_CPU_DIR and CPU_DIR defined, these are the cpu/
directory within cgen, and the cpu/ directory within binutils-cpu.
The cris target tries to find CPU_DIR relative to the cgen source
tree, which can be wrong when building with an out of tree cgen.
sim/cris/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Replace uses of CGEN_CPU_DIR with CPU_DIR, and
remove the definition of CGEN_CPU_DIR.
When configuring with '--enbale-cgen-maint' the default for both the
opcodes/ and sim/ directories is to assume that the cgen source is
within the binutils-gdb source tree as binutils-gdb/cgen/.
In the old cvs days, this worked well, as cgen was just another
sub-module of the single cvs repository and could easily be checked
out within the binutils-gdb directory, and managed by cvs in the
normal way.
Now that binutils-gdb is in git, while cgen is still in cvs, placing
the cgen respository within the binutils-gdb tree is more troublesome,
and it would be nice if the two tools could be kept separate.
Luckily there is already some initial code in the configure.ac files
for both opcodes/ and sim/ to support having cgen be located outside
of the binutils-gdb tree, however, this was speculative code written
imagining a future where cgen would be built and installed to some
location.
Right now there is no install support for cgen, and so the configure
code in opcodes/ and sim/ doesn't really do anything useful. In this
commit I repurpose this code to allow binutils-gdb to be configured so
that it can make use of a cgen source directory that is outside of the
binutils-gdb tree.
With this commit applied it is now possible to configure and build
binutils-gdb like this:
/path/to/binutils-gdb/src/configure --enable-cgen-maint=/path/to/cgen/src/cgen/
make all-opcodes
make -C opcodes run-cgen-all
Just in case anyone is still using cgen inside the binutils-gdb tree,
I have left the default behaviour of '--enable-cgen-maint' (with no
parameter) unchanged, that is it looks for the cgen directory as
'binutils-gdb/cgen/'.

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/.
Problem 9:

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.
Clean up some more remains of WITH_DEVICES that escaped notice.
We also clean up GETTWI/SETTWI defines in a few ports where they
were copied & pasted and are unused as they happen to be near the
device code.
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.
The point of passing down the cpu to core reads/writes is to signal which
cpu is making the access. For system accesses (such as internal memory
initialization), passing the cpu down doesn't make sense, and in the case
of early init like cris, can cause crashes. Since the cpu isn't fully set
up at this point, if the core code tries to access some fields (like the
PC reg), it'll crash. While cris shouldn't be doing this setup here (it
should be in the inferior stage), we'll deal with that later.
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 cris port was using the device framework to handle two addresses when
the --cris-900000xx flag was specified. That can be implemented using the
newer hardware framework instead which allows us to drop the device logic
entirely, as well as delete the tconfig.h file. Basically we create a new
cris_900000xx device model and move the read logic out of devices.c and
into that. The rest of the devices logic was callback to the hardware
framework already.
