A co-worker requested that the DAP code emit a scope for global
variables. It's not really practical to do this for all globals, but
it seemed reasonable to do this for globals coming from the frame's
compilation unit. For Ada in particular, this is convenient as it
exposes package-scoped variables.

After my recent changes the data-directory build now uses
silent-rules.mk to reduce the output.
One problem that remains was the use of mkinstalldirs by stamp-python
and stamp-guile for creating some directories, the mkinstalldirs
prints some messages, so we're left with output like this:
GEN stamp-python
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/command
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/dap
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/function
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/printer
I was looking at adding a --silent option to the mkinstalldirs script,
however, when I took a look at the automake package (which is where
mkinstalldirs comes from) it turns out that mkinstalldirs is
deprecated, at the advice is to use 'install-sh -d' instead.
Just like we carry mkinstalldirs in the top-level directory, we also
carry install-sh, and a version of install-sh which supports the -d
flag.
And best of all, 'install-sh -d' doesn't appear to print any of the
information messages to stdout that mkinstalldirs does, so if we
switch to use that, we get a quieter build.

For some reason install-dvi is missing although other targets of the
same family are present. This looks like an oversight.
This enables calling 'make install-dvi' from the top-level build
directory.
Fix what looks like another oversight: include 'pdf' in 'all-doc' in
gdb/doc/Makefile.in.

This commit makes use of gdb/silent-rules.mk in the data-directory
Makefile.in. I've only updated the rules that actually generate
things, I've not touched the install or uninstall rules, this matches
gdb/Makefile.in.
I've not managed to completely silence all of the recipe output, the
mkinstalldirs command outputs some diagnostic text which looks like
this:
GEN stamp-python
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/command
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/dap
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/function
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/printer
I have a patch for mkinstalldirs that fixes this (by adding a new
--silent command line flag), but that patch needs to be submitted to
automake, then an updated mkinstalldirs sync'd to the gcc repository,
and then copied into the binutils-gdb repository... so I'm leaving
that for a future project.
Then the guild compiler also emits some diagnostic output, which looks
like this:
GEN stamp-guile
mkdir -p -- ./guile/.
mkdir -p -- ./guile/gdb
wrote `./gdb.go'
wrote `gdb/experimental.go'
wrote `gdb/iterator.go'
wrote `gdb/printing.go'
wrote `gdb/support.go'
wrote `gdb/types.go'
The 'wrote' lines are from the guild compiler. The only way to
silence these would be to redirect stdout to /dev/null I think. I did
prototype this, but wasn't 100% convinced about that part of the
patch, so I've decided to leave that for another day.
I did need to add a new SILENT_ECHO variable to silent-rules.mk, this
is set to a suitable 'echo' command to use within recipes. When we
are in silent mode then I use the 'true' command, while in verbose
mode we actually use 'echo'.
So, other than the issues outlined above, the output when building the
data-directory is now greatly reduced, and more inline with the output
when building in the gdb/ directory.
There should be no change in what is actually built after this commit.

Now, there exists syscalls/loongarch-linux.xml, let us set the correct
XML syscall filename for LoongArch, otherwise GDB won't be able to find
the correct XML file to open and get the syscalls definitions.
It should install the package expat-devel (a library for XML parsing)
and configure --with-expat (done by default if libexpat is installed
and found at configure time) for compiling gdb in this case.
Without this patch:

This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as

This commit builds on the previous commit, and implements the
extension_language_ops::handle_missing_debuginfo function for Python.
This hook will give user supplied Python code a chance to help find
missing debug information.
The implementation of the new hook is pretty minimal within GDB's C++
code; most of the work is out-sourced to a Python implementation which
is modelled heavily on how GDB's Python frame unwinders are
implemented.
The following new commands are added as commands implemented in
Python, this is similar to how the Python unwinder commands are
implemented:
info missing-debug-handlers
enable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER
disable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER
To make use of this extension hook a user will create missing debug
information handler objects, and registers these handlers with GDB.
When GDB encounters an objfile that is missing debug information, each
handler is called in turn until one is able to help. Here is a
minimal handler that does nothing useful:
import gdb
import gdb.missing_debug
class MyFirstHandler(gdb.missing_debug.MissingDebugHandler):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__("my_first_handler")
def __call__(self, objfile):
# This handler does nothing useful.
return None
gdb.missing_debug.register_handler(None, MyFirstHandler())
Returning None from the __call__ method tells GDB that this handler
was unable to find the missing debug information, and GDB should ask
any other registered handlers.
By extending the __call__ method it is possible for the Python
extension to locate the debug information for objfile and return a
value that tells GDB how to use the information that has been located.
Possible return values from a handler:
- None: This means the handler couldn't help. GDB will call other
registered handlers to see if they can help instead.
- False: The handler has done all it can, but the debug information
for the objfile still couldn't be found. GDB will not call
any other handlers, and will continue without the debug
information for objfile.
- True: The handler has installed the debug information into a
location where GDB would normally expect to find it. GDB
should look again for the debug information.
- A string: The handler can return a filename, which is the file
containing the missing debug information. GDB will load
this file.
When a handler returns True, GDB will look again for the debug
information, but only using the standard built-in build-id and
.gnu_debuglink based lookup strategies. It is not possible for an
extension to trigger another debuginfod lookup; the assumption is that
the debuginfod server is remote, and out of the control of extensions
running within GDB.
Handlers can be registered globally, or per program space. GDB checks
the handlers for the current program space first, and then all of the
global handles. The first handler that returns a value that is not
None, has "handled" the objfile, at which point GDB continues.

It occurred to me recently that gdb's DAP implementation should
probably check the types of objects coming from the client. This
patch implements this idea by reusing Python's existing type
annotations, and supplying a decorator that verifies these at runtime.
Python doesn't make it very easy to do runtime type-checking, so the
core of the checker is written by hand. I haven't tried to make a
fully generic runtime type checker. Instead, this only checks the
subset that is needed by DAP. For example, only keyword-only
functions are handled.
Furthermore, in a few spots, it wasn't convenient to spell out the
type that is accepted. I've added a couple of comments to this effect
in breakpoint.py.
I've tried to make this code compatible with older versions of Python,
but I've only been able to try it with 3.9 and 3.10.
This adds the DAP readMemory and writeMemory requests. A small change
to the evaluation code is needed in order to test this -- this is one
of the few ways for a client to actually acquire a memory reference.
The DAP code already claimed to implement "scopes" and "evaluate", but
this wasn't done completely correctly. This patch implements these
and also implements the "variables" request.
After this patch, variables and scopes correctly report their
sub-structure. This also interfaces with the gdb pretty-printer API,
so the output of pretty-printers is available.
The Debugger Adapter Protocol is a JSON-RPC protocol that IDEs can use
to communicate with debuggers. You can find more information here:
https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/
Frequently this is implemented as a shim, but it seemed to me that GDB
could implement it directly, via the Python API. This patch is the
initial implementation.
DAP is implemented as a new "interp". This is slightly weird, because
it doesn't act like an ordinary interpreter -- for example it doesn't
implement a command syntax, and doesn't use GDB's ordinary event loop.
However, this seemed like the best approach overall.
To run GDB in this mode, use:
gdb -i=dap
The DAP code will accept JSON-RPC messages on stdin and print
responses to stdout. GDB redirects the inferior's stdout to a new
pipe so that output can be encapsulated by the protocol.
The Python code uses multiple threads to do its work. Separate
threads are used for reading JSON from the client and for writing JSON
to the client. All GDB work is done in the main thread. (The first
implementation used asyncio, but this had some limitations, and so I
rewrote it to use threads instead.)
This is not a complete implementation of the protocol, but it does
implement enough to demonstrate that the overall approach works.
There is a rudimentary test suite. It uses a JSON parser written in
pure Tcl. This parser is under the same license as Tcl itself, so I
felt it was acceptable to simply import it into the tree.
There is also a bit of documentation -- just documenting the new
interpreter name.
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
This commit extends the Python API to include disassembler support.
The motivation for this commit was to provide an API by which the user
could write Python scripts that would augment the output of the
disassembler.
To achieve this I have followed the model of the existing libopcodes
disassembler, that is, instructions are disassembled one by one. This
does restrict the type of things that it is possible to do from a
Python script, i.e. all additional output has to fit on a single line,
but this was all I needed, and creating something more complex would,
I think, require greater changes to how GDB's internal disassembler
operates.
The disassembler API is contained in the new gdb.disassembler module,
which defines the following classes:
DisassembleInfo
Similar to libopcodes disassemble_info structure, has read-only
properties: address, architecture, and progspace. And has methods:
__init__, read_memory, and is_valid.
Each time GDB wants an instruction disassembled, an instance of
this class is passed to a user written disassembler function, by
reading the properties, and calling the methods (and other support
methods in the gdb.disassembler module) the user can perform and
return the disassembly.
Disassembler
This is a base-class which user written disassemblers should
inherit from. This base class provides base implementations of
__init__ and __call__ which the user written disassembler should
override.
DisassemblerResult
This class can be used to hold the result of a call to the
disassembler, it's really just a wrapper around a string (the text
of the disassembled instruction) and a length (in bytes). The user
can return an instance of this class from Disassembler.__call__ to
represent the newly disassembled instruction.
The gdb.disassembler module also provides the following functions:
register_disassembler
This function registers an instance of a Disassembler sub-class
as a disassembler, either for one specific architecture, or, as a
global disassembler for all architectures.
builtin_disassemble
This provides access to GDB's builtin disassembler. A common
use case that I see is augmenting the existing disassembler output.
The user code can call this function to have GDB disassemble the
instruction in the normal way. The user gets back a
DisassemblerResult object, which they can then read in order to
augment the disassembler output in any way they wish.
This function also provides a mechanism to intercept the
disassemblers reads of memory, thus the user can adjust what GDB
sees when it is disassembling.
The included documentation provides a more detailed description of the
API.
There is also a new CLI command added:
maint info python-disassemblers
This command is defined in the Python gdb.disassemblers module, and
can be used to list the currently registered Python disassemblers.
This commit moves the two Python functions that are used for styling
into a new module, gdb.styling, there's then a small update in
python.c so GDB can find the functions in their new location.
The motivation for this change is purely to try and reduce the clutter
in the top-level gdb module, and encapsulate related functions into
modules. I did ponder documenting these functions as part of the
Python API, however, doing so would effectively "fix" the API, and I'm
still wondering if there's improvements that could be made, also, the
colorize function is only called in some cases now that GDB prefers
libsource-highlight, so it's not entirely sure how this would work as
part of a user facing API.
Still, despite these functions never having been part of a documented
API, it is possible that a user out there has overridden these to, in
some way, customize how GDB performs styling. Moving the function as
I propose in this patch could break things for that user, however,
fixing this breakage is trivial, and, as these functions were never
documented, I don't think we should be obliged to not break user code
that relies on them.

Since we don't use suffix rules nor implicit rules in gdb, we can
disable them. The advantage is a slightly faster make [1].
Here are some numbers about the speedup. I ran this on my trusty old
Intel Q6600, so the time numbers are probably higher than what you'd get
on any recent hardware. I ran "make" in the gdb/ directory of an
already built repository (configured with --enable-targets=all). I
recorded the time of execution (average of 5). I then ran "make -d" and
recorded the number of printed lines, which gives a rough idea of the
number of operations done.
I compared the following configurations, to see the impact of both the
empty .SUFFIXES target and the empty pattern rules, as well as running
"make -r", which can be considered the "ideal" case.
A - baseline
B - baseline + .SUFFIXES
C - baseline + pattern rules
D - baseline + .SUFFIXES + pattern rules
E - baseline + make -r
config | time (s) | "make -d"
-----------------------------
A | 5.74 | 2396643
B | 1.19 | 298469
C | 2.81 | 1266573
D | 1.13 | 245489
E | 1.01 | 163914
We can see that the empty .SUFFIXES target has a bigger impact than the
empty pattern rules, but still it doesn't hurt to disable the implicit
pattern rules as well.
There are still some mentions of implicit rules I can't get rid of in
the "make -d" output. For example, it's trying to build .c files from
.w files:
Looking for an implicit rule for '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'infrun'.
Trying implicit prerequisite '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.w'.
and trying to build Makefile.in from a bunch of extensions:
Looking for an implicit rule for 'Makefile.in'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.cc'.
... many more ...
If somebody knows how to disable them, we can do it, but at this point
the returns are minimal, so it is not that important.
I verified that both in-tree and out-of-tree builds work.
[1] Switching from explicit rules to pattern rules for files in
subdirectories actually made it slower, so this is kind of a way to
redeem myself. But it the end it's faster than it was previously,
so it was all worth it. :)

I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical. Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle. As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).
I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order. The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.
A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.
I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect. I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.
Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail. The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order. We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.

All platforms on FreeBSD use a shared system call table, so use a
single XML file to describe the system calls available on each FreeBSD
platform.
Recent versions of FreeBSD include the identifier of the current
system call when reporting a system call entry or exit event in the
ptrace_lwpinfo structure obtained via PT_LWPINFO in fbsd_wait. As
such, FreeBSD native targets do not use the gdbarch method to fetch
the system call code. In addition, FreeBSD register sets fetched via
ptrace do not include an equivalent of 'orig_rax' (on amd64 for
example), so the system call code cannot be extracted from the
available registers during a system call exit. However, GDB assumes
that system call catch points are not supported if the gdbarch method
is not present. As a workaround, FreeBSD ABIs install a dummy gdbarch
method that throws an internal_error if it is ever invoked.

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00144.html
Instead of having a solution specific to the printf command, Pedro
suggested adding a general purpose function $_as_string() that would
cover this use case and more.
So, in order to print the textual label of an enum, one can use:
(gdb) printf "Visiting node of type %s\n", $_as_string(node)
Visiting node of type NODE_INTEGER

testsuite/
* gdb.guile/types-module.exp: Add tests for wrong type arguments.
Tested with/without guile,python on amd64-linux.
I'm not sure we still have to deal with shells that can't
handle empty for lists, but I played it safe.
Otherwise this patch would be a lot smaller (though a diff -b
will still show the real changes).

This time, it passes all the tests and comes with a nearly complete
XML file (plus a script that can nearly regenerate the XML file).
(I elected to leave out __ARM_NR_cmpxchg, since it has dire warnings
to the effect that the only pieces of code that should be aware of it
are the implementation and the __kuser_cmpxchg code in entry-armv.S.)
