PR python/16047 points out that, while the documentation says that the
to_string method is optional for a pretty-printer, the code disagrees
and throws an exception. This patch fixes the problem. varobj is

Consider the following function, which takes no parameter and returns
an integer:
function Something return Integer;
For the purpose of this discussion, our function has been implemented
to always return 124:
function Something return Integer is
begin
return 124;
end Something;
In Ada, such function can been called without using the parentheses.
For instance, in the statement below, variable My_Value is assigned
the returned value from the call to Something:
My_Value := Something;
The Ada expression interpeter in GDB supports this case, as we can
see below:
(gdb) print something
$1 = 124
However, we get fairly strange results when trying to use this feature
as part of a larger expression. For instance:
(gdb) print something + 1
$2 = 248
The problem occurs while doing the resolution pass of the expression.
After prefixying the expression, we obtain the following expression:
0 BINOP_ADD
1 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
5 OP_LONG Type @0x1e3c170 (int), value 1 (0x1)
The resolution pass is then expected to remove the OP_VAR_VALUE
entry, and replace it with an OP_FUNCALL. This is what the call
to replace_operator_with_call in ada-lang.c::resolve_subexp is
expected to do:
if (deprocedure_p
&& (TYPE_CODE (SYMBOL_TYPE (exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol))
== TYPE_CODE_FUNC))
{
replace_operator_with_call (expp, pc, 0, 0,
exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol,
exp->elts[pc + 1].block);
exp = expp->get ();
}
The problem is that we're passing OPLEN (zero -- 4th parameter in
the call), and so replace_operator_with_call ends up removing zero
element from our expression, and inserting the corresponding OP_FUNCALL
instead. As a result, instead of having the OP_LONG (1) as the second
argument of the BINOP_ADD, it is now the OP_VAR_VALUE that we were
meant to replace. That OP_VAR_VALUE then itself gets transformed into
an OP_FUNCALL, with the same issue, and eventually, the resolved
expression now looks like this:
0 BINOP_ADD
1 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
4 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
8 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
11 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
15 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
19 OP_LONG Type @0x1e3c170 (int), value 1 (0x1)
This explains why we get twice the result of the function call
instead of its value plus one. The extra entries in the expression
at the end are just ignored.
This patch fixes the issue by calling replace_operator_with_call
with the correct OPLEN equal to the size of an OP_VAR_VALUE (4).

* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Pass correct OPLEN in call to
replace_operator_with_call.

Consider a variable "PRA" defined as a packed array of packed
records as follow:
subtype Int is Integer range 0 .. 7;
type Packed_Rec is record
X, Y : Int;
W : Integer;
end record;
pragma Pack (Packed_Rec);
type Packed_RecArr is array (Integer range <>) of Packed_Rec;
pragma Pack (Packed_RecArr);
PRA : Packed_RecArr (1 .. 3);
Consider also a variable "PR", which is a Packed_Rec record,
declared as follow:
PR : Packed_Rec := (2, 2, 2);
Trying to assign a new value to PRA using an aggregate expression
where one of the components is our variable PR yields the wrong
result on big-endian machines (e.g. on ppc-linux):
(gdb) p pra := (pr, (2,2,2), (2,2,2))
$6 = ((x => 1, y => 0, w => 8), [...]
On the other hand, replacing "pr" by "(2,2,2)" does work.
I tracked the issue down to the bit offset we use to extract
the value of "PR" and copy it inside PRA. in value_assign_to_component,
we have:
if (gdbarch_bits_big_endian (get_type_arch (value_type (container))))
move_bits ([target buffer], [bit offset in target buffer],
[source buffer where PR is stored],
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (component)) * TARGET_CHAR_BIT - bits,
bits, 1);
The issue is with the third-to-last argument, which provides the bit
offset where the value of PR is stored relative to its start address,
and therefore the bit offset relative to the start of the source
buffer passed as the previous argument.
In our case, component is a 38bit packed record whose TYPE_LENGTH
is 5 bytes, so the bit-offset that gets calculated is 2 (bits).
However, that formula only really applies to scalars, whereas
in our case, we have a record (struct). The offset in the non-scalar
case should be zero.

Consider a vla variable 'a' in function f1:
...
<2><1a7>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1a8> DW_AT_description : a
<1aa> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x311>
...
with abstract origin 'a':
...
<2><311>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_variable)
<312> DW_AT_name : a
<317> DW_AT_type : <0x325>
...
and inherited abstract vla type:
...
<1><325>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<326> DW_AT_type : <0x33a>
<2><32e>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<32f> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<333> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: fd 1b 3 0 0
(DW_OP_GNU_variable_value: <0x31b>)
...
where the upper bound refers to this artificial variable D.1922 without location
attribute:
...
<2><31b>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_variable)
<31c> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x39a): D.1922
<320> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<324> DW_AT_artificial : 1
...
Currently, when we execute "p sizeof (a)" in f1, the upper bound is calculated
by evaluating the DW_OP_GNU_variable_value expression referring to D.1922, but
since that die doesn't have a location attribute, we get:
...
value has been optimized out
...
However, there's also artificial variable D.4283 that is sibling of vla
variable 'a', has artificial variable D.1922 as abstract origin, and has a
location attribute:
...
<2><1ae>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1af> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f8): D.4283
<1b3> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x31b>
<1b7> DW_AT_location : 11 byte block: 75 1 8 20 24 8 20 26 31 1c 9f
(DW_OP_breg5 (rdi):1; DW_OP_const1u: 32;
DW_OP_shl; DW_OP_const1u: 32; DW_OP_shra;
DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_minus; DW_OP_stack_value)
...
The intended behaviour for DW_OP_GNU_variable_value is to find a die that
refers to D.1922 as abstract origin, has a location attribute and is
'in scope', so the expected behaviour is:
...
$1 = 6
...
The 'in scope' concept can be thought of as variable D.1922 having name
attribute "D.1922", and variable D.4283 inheriting that attribute, resulting
in D.4283 being declared with name "D.1922" alongside vla a in f1, and when we
lookup "DW_OP_GNU_variable_value D.1922", it should work as if we try to find
the value of a variable named "D.1922" on the gdb command line using
"p D.1922", and we should return the value of D.4283.
This patch fixes the case described above, by:
- adding a field abstract_to_concrete to struct dwarf2_per_objfile,
- using that field to keep track of which concrete dies are instances of an
abstract die, and
- using that information when getting the value DW_OP_GNU_variable_value.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

This commit adds calls to remote_close and clear_gdb_spawn_id to
gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp, fixing failures reported by buildbot
on Fedora 28 where gdb_spawn_id not being reset by the previous test
caused default_gdb_spawn to return without spawning.
This commit also changes the test to use detect GDB's exit using
gdb_test_multiple expecting 'eof', rather than using 'wait -i' alone.
This means the testcase won't hang forever on failure as fixed in
gdb.base/quit.exp by commit 15763a09d4 ("Fix 'gdb.base/quit.exp
hangs forever' if the test fails").

I noticed that gdb.rust/simple.rs had two local variables named "v".
This didn't previous cause problems, but with a newer rust compiler
this resulted in a test failure. (It should have failed all along, so
I suppose earlier passes were due to a compiler bug.)
This patch renames the second variable.

2018-08-31 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* gdb.rust/simple.rs: Rename second variable "v".
In the test gdb.base/funcargs.exp, there's this function:
void recurse (SVAL a, int depth)
{
a.s = a.i = a.l = --depth;
if (depth == 0)
hitbottom ();
else
recurse (a, depth);
}
The test script places a breakpoint in hitbottom, and runs the
executable which calls recurse with an initial depth of 4.
When GDB hits the breakpoint in hitbottom the testscript performs a
backtrace, and examines 'a' at each level.
The problem is that 'a' is not live after either the call to
'hitbottom' or the call to 'recurse', and as a result the test fails.
In the particular case I was looking at GCC for RISC-V 32-bit, the
variable 'a' is on the stack and GCC selects the register $ra (the
return address register) to hold the pointer to 'a'. This is fine,
because, by the time the $ra register is needed to hold a return
address (calling hitbottom or recurse) then 'a' is dead.
In this patch I propose that a use of 'a' is added after the calls to
hitbottom and recurse, this should cause the compiler to keep 'a'
around, which should ensure GDB can find it.

* gdb.base/funcargs.c (use_a): New function.
(recurse): Call use_a.
This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature. It does
most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and
your basic "with-classes" type of C++.
I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test
facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code"
testing. See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression
for more on that. The tests use this facility extensively.
This initial support has several glaring omissions:
- No template support at all
I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity
to this "basic" support. Consequently, they will be submitted separately.
- Cannot print functions
The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet.
- So-called "special function" support is not included
Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have
follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the
recent churn in symbol searching.
- There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs.
I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing
these patches.
The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but
I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in.
I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion

Commit 6d52907e22 (MI: Print frame architecture when printing frames
on an MI channel) added frame's architecture to MI frame output. However
the frame architecture was not correctly printed in the output of
"-stack-list-frames" with frame filters enabled (via "-enable-frame-filters").
This was because with frame filters enabled, the actual frame printing is
done in "py_print_frame" rather than "print_frame". This issue is now fixed.

I noticed that the child_terminal_save_inferior function was not used
since the commit f6ac5f3d63 ("Convert struct target_ops to C++"). I
was able to make a little test program to illustrate the problem (see
test case).
I think we're just missing the override of the terminal_save_inferior
method in inf_child_target (along with the other terminal-related
methods).
Instead of creating a new test, I thought that gdb.base/term.exp was a
good candidate for testing that gdb restores properly the inferior's
terminal settings.

Certain PIE executables produced by gold cannot be debugged by gdb after
being stripped. GDB requires program headers of PIE executables to match,
and those checks may fail due to adjustments made during stripping.
One case of this occurs because strip recomputes the memsz of PT_TLS and
does not add alignment, while gold does. This is another variant of PR

There is a small think-o in compile.exp:

} else {

The line marked INCORRECT runs a simple "compile code" which is expected
to succeed. When this happens, the compile plug-in and GDB will not
output anything. The use of gdb_test matches against anything.

In the test script gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp we ask GDB
to list all thread groups, and match the output against a
regexp. Occasionally, I would see this test fail.
The expected output is a list of entries, each entry looking roughly
like this:
{id="<DECIMAL>",type="process",description="<STRING>",
user="<STRING>",cores=["<DECIMAL>","<DECIMAL>",...]}
All the fields after 'id' and 'type' are optional, and the 'cores'
list can contain 1 or more "<DECIMAL>" entries.
On my machine (Running Fedora 27, kernel 4.17.3-100.fc27.x86_64)
usually the 'description' is a non-empty string, and the 'cores' list
has at least one entry in it. But sometimes, very rarely, I'll see an
entry in the process group list where the 'description' is an empty
string, the 'user' is the string "?", and the 'cores' list is empty.
Such an entry looks like this:
{id="19863",type="process",description="",user="?",cores=[]}
I believe that this is caused by the process exiting while GDB is
scanning /proc for process information. The current code in
gdb/nat/linux-osdata.c is not (I think) resilient against exiting
processes.
This commit adjusts the regex that matches the 'cores' list so that an
empty list is acceptable, with this patch in place the test script
gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp never fails for me now.
I've only adjusted the cores regexp for the occasion when we have GDB
read information about all processes, its only in this case that we
might encounter an exiting process. When we read information about
two known PIDs, that we know will not exit for the duration of the
test, we require that the core list be non-empty.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp: Update test regexp.
If a vla is not in memory, and the upper bound is not defined, then we
can't know that an array element exists or not, and we should not try
to access the array element. One case where this happens is for
arrays that have been optimised out, the array will then have
VALUE_LVAL of not_lval, and an undefined upper bound, if we then try
to access an element of this array we will index into random GDB
memory.
An argument could be made that even for arrays that are in inferior
memory, if the upper bound is not defined then we should not try to
access the array element, however, in some of the Fortran tests, it
seems as though we do rely indexing from a base address into an array
which has no bounds defined. In this case GDBs standard protection
for detecting unreadable target memory prevents bad thing happening.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* valarith.c (value_subscripted_rvalue): If an array is not in
memory, and we don't know the upper bound, then we can't know that
the requested element exists or not.

are all pretty similar, with differences in the compile flags used,
and some of the expected results.
Instead of maintaining 3 files, merge them into a single test script,
and use parameters to control the test behaviour.

Commit 87d6a7aa93 ("Add DWARF index cache") broke
gdb.fortran/nested-funcs.exp. Because of the new "set index-cache"
command, the expression "set index = 42" now fails:
set index = 42
Undefined set index-cache command: "= 42". Try "help set index-cache".
(gdb) PASS: gdb.fortran/nested-funcs.exp: set index = 42
Fix it by changing it to "set variable index = 42". Also, use
gdb_test_no_output to confirm that it worked (since that particular test
wrongfully passed).
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.fortran/nested-funcs.exp: Replace "set index = 42" with
"set variable index = 42".
New in v3:
- Remove things related to the dwarf-5 format.
- Fix compilation on mingw (scoped_mmap.c).
GDB can generate indexes for DWARF debug information, which, when
integrated in the original binary, can speed up loading object files.
This can be done using the gdb-add-index script or directly by the
linker itself. However, not many people know about this. And even
among those who do, because it requires additional steps, I don't know a
lot of people who actually go through that trouble.
To help make using the DWARF index more transparent, this patch
introduces a DWARF index cache. When enabled, loading an index-less
binary in GDB will automatically save an index file in ~/.cache/gdb.
When loading that same object file again, the index file will be looked
up and used to load the DWARF index. You therefore get the benefit of
the DWARF index without having to do additional manual steps or
modifying your build system. When an index section is already present
in the file, GDB will prefer that one over looking up the cache.
When doing my edit-compile-debug cycle, I often debug multiple times the
same build, so the cache helps reducing the load time of the debug
sessions after the first one.
- The saved index file is exactly the same as the output of the "save
gdb-index" command. It is therefore the exact same content that would
be found in the .gdb_index or .debug_names section. We just leave it
as a standalone file instead of merging it in the binary.
- The cache is just a directory with files named after the object
file's build-id. It is not possible to save/load the index for an
object file without build-id in the cache.
- The cache uses the gdb index format. The problem with the dwarf-5
format is that we can generate an addendum to the .debug_str section
that you're supposed to integrate to the original binary. This
complicates a little bit loading the data from the cached index files,
so I would leave this for later.
- The size taken up by ~/.cache/gdb is not limited. I was thinking we
could add configurable limit (like ccache does), but that would come
after. Also, maybe a command to flush the cache.
- The cache is disabled by default. I think once it's been out there
and tested for a while, it could be turned on by default, so that
everybody can enjoy it.
- The code was made to follow the XDG specification: if the
XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable, it is used, otherwise it falls
back to ~/.cache/gdb. It is possible to change it using "set
index-cache directory". On other OSes than GNU/Linux, ~/.cache may
not be the best place to put such data. On macOS it should probably
default to ~/Library/Caches/... On Windows, %LocalAppData%/... I
don't intend to do this part, but further patches are welcome.
- I think that we need to be careful that multiple instances of GDB
don't interfere with each other (not far fetched at all if you run GDB
in some automated script) and the cache is always coherent (either the
file is not found, or it is found and entirely valid). Writing the
file directly to its final location seems like a recipe for failure.
One GDB could read a file in the index while it is being written by
another GDB. To mitigate this, I made write_psymtabs_to_index write
to temporary files and rename them once it's done. Two GDB instances
writing the index for the same file should not step on each other's
toes (the last file to be renamed will stay). A GDB looking up a file
will only see a complete file or no file. Also, if GDB crashes while
generating the index file, it will leave a work-in-progress file, but
it won't be picked up by other instances looking up in the cache.

I noticed that make -jN check would run make check-single when using GNU
make 4.2.1.
In the end, it turned out that this is due to this change from the make
4.2 NEWS file:
* The amount of parallelism can be determined by querying MAKEFLAGS, even when
the job server is enabled (previously MAKEFLAGS would always contain only
"-j", with no number, when job server was enabled).
The fix is trivial: just accept an optional arg to -j in Makefile.in
(saw_dash_j). Tested on i386-pc-solaris2.11 with just make and make
-j/-jN with both make 3.82 and 4.2.1.
* Makefile.in (saw_dash_j): Allow for GNU make 4.2+ passing -jN in
MAKEFLAGS.
When looking at the gdb.sum file produced by dg-extract-results.sh on
Solaris 11/x86, I noticed some wrong sorting, like this:
PASS: gdb.ada/addr_arith.exp: print something'address + 0
PASS: gdb.ada/addr_arith.exp: print 0 + something'address
PASS: gdb.ada/addr_arith.exp: print something'address - 0
PASS: gdb.ada/addr_arith.exp: print 0 - something'address
Looking closer, I noticed that while dg-extract-results.sh had been
copied over from contrib in the gcc repo, the corresponding
dg-extract-results.py file had not. The latter not only fixes the
sorting problem I'd observed, but is also way faster than the shell
version (like a factor of 50 faster).
Therefore I propose to update both files from the gcc repo. The changes
to the .sh version are trivial, just counting the number of DejaGnu
ERROR lines, too.
The files are moved to toplevel contrib:
* This way, they can easily be used should someone decide to parallelize
one or more of the binutils, gas, or ld testsuites.
* They are less easily overlooked for updates from the gcc repo when
they reside in the same place in both.
* The test_summary script needs to live in contrib since the toplevel
Makefile's mail-report.log target expects it there.
Tested on amd64-pc-solaris2.11 with
make -j16 check
and
make -j16 -k RACY_ITER=5 check

Not all targets support scheduler-locking. Add a check to see if the
taraget supports scheduler locking, and if it doesn't, don't run the
scheduler-locking tests that will otherwise fail.
There are actually a set of tests that try to use scheduler-locking
however, in most of these cases the test will not be run on smaller
targets (those that might not support threads and scheduler-locking)
due to the targets lack of support for threads, or some other larger
feature.
In the gdb.mi/mi-cmd-param-changed.exp test though, there's no
dependence on threads, or any other larger feature, and so, for the
small target I was using the test would otherwise try to run, only to
fail due to lack of support for scheduler-locking.

PR symtab/16842 shows that gdb will crash when the user tries to
invoke "info address" of a template parameter.
The bug here is that dwarf2read.c does not set the symtab on the
template parameter symbols. This is pedantically correct, given that
the template symbols do not appear in a symtab. However, gdb
primarily uses the symtab backlink to find the symbol's objfile. So,
this patch simply sets the symtab on these symbols.

Invoking -var-info-path-expression on a dynamic varobj lead either in wrong
(nonsense) result or to a segmentation fault in cplus_describe_child().
This was caused by the fact that varobj_get_path_expr() called
cplus_path_expr_of_child() ignoring the fact the parent of the variable
is dynamic. Then, cplus_describe_child() accessed the underlaying C type
members by index, causing (i) either wrong (nonsense) expression being
returned (since dynamic child may be completely arbibtrary value)
or (ii) segmentation fault (in case the index higher than number of
underlaying C type members.
This fixes the problem by checking whether a varobj is a child of a dynamic
varobj and, if so, reporting an error as described in documentation.

Expect for another variant of error message when gdbserver cannot resolve hostname
I extended the regular expression being used to identify whether
gdbserver could not resolve a (host)name. This was needed because the
error message being printed had a different variation across some
systems. However, as it turns out, I've just noticed that the message
has yet another variation:
target remote tcp8:123:2353
tcp8:123:2353: cannot resolve name: System error
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
tcp8:123:2353: No such file or directory.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/server-connect.exp: tcp8: connect to gdbserver using tcp8:123
which is causing FAILs on some systems (namely, Fedora-i686 on
BuildBot).
So instead of trying to predict everything that can be printed, I
decided to just match anything after the "cannot resolve name: " part.
This patch implements that.
Regression tested on the BuildBot.

The gdb_load_shlib function will, on remote targets, try to run some
GDB commands. This obviously isn't going to work unless GDB is
running.
The gdb.trace/tspeed.exp test calls gdb_load_shlib before starting
GDB. Don't do that.
The failure that's triggered is actually DeJaGNU complaining that the
variable $use_gdb_stub doesn't exist, this is only created when GDB is
started. Something like this should trigger a failure:
make check-gdb \
RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost \
gdb.trace/tspeed.exp"
This commit also adds a check to gdb_load_shlib that GDB is running.

developer adds a use of gdb_load_shlib but doesn't test their code
with a remote target.

At -O3 -g -gstrict-dwarf, gcc generates for an optimized out vla 'a' a
DW_TAG_variable with type DW_TAG_array_type containing one
DW_TAG_subrange_type, but without DW_AT_upper_bound or DW_AT_count, which
makes the upper bound value 'unknown':

Add a maintenance command to disable the DWARF stack unwinders.
Normal users would not need this feature, but it is useful to allow
extended testing of fallback stack unwinding strategies, for example,
prologue scanners.
This is a partial implementation of the idea discussed in pr gdb/8434,
which talks about a generic ability to disable any frame unwinder.
Being able to arbitrarily disable any frame unwinder would be a more
complex patch, and I was unsure how useful such a feature would really
be, however, I can see (and have) a real need to disable DWARF
unwinders. That's why this patch only targets that specific set of
unwinders.
If in the future we find ourselves adding more switches to disable
different unwinders, then we should probably move to a more generic
solution, and remove this patch.

A flag must be given individually.
parse_flags_qcs is a specialised helper function to handle
the flags -q, -c and -s, that are used in the new command 'frame apply'
and in the command 'thread apply.
Modify number_or_range_parser::get_number to differentiate a
- followed by digits from a - followed by an alpha (i.e. a flag or an option).
That is needed for the addition of the [FLAG]... arguments to
thread apply ID... [FLAG]... COMMAND
Remove bool number_or_range_parser::m_finished, rather
implement the 'finished' logic inside number_or_range_parser::finished.
The new logic properly detects the end of parsing even if not at
end of the string. This ensures that number_or_range_parser::cur_tok
really points past the last parsed token when parsing is finished.
Before, it was always pointing at the end of the string.
As parsing now is finished directly when not positioned on a number,
number_is_in_list must do an error check before the loop getting all
numbers.
The error message for 'thread apply -$unknownconvvar p 1'
is now the more clear:
Convenience variable must have integer value.
Invalid thread ID: -$unknownconvvar p 1
instead of previously:
negative value
