While fiddling a bit with -Wunused-variable, Sergio noticed that "maint
print c-tdesc" was always generating code for the "tdesc_type
*field_type" variable, even when it wasn't used. This is caught by GCC
when using -Wunused-variable, of course.
This patch changes the print_c_tdesc class to only output the field
declaration when we actually need it.
It shouldn't be necessary to do the same with the other variable
declarations (type_with_fields and element_type), because they are
always if they are declared.
The C files in features/ are regenerated, some declarations of
field_type are removed, as expected, while some others move to where
they are used for the first time.

On Cell/B.E. multi-architecture debugging we use a "merged" address space
that encodes both the main PowerPC address space and the local store address
spaces of all active SPUs. This will always occupy 64 bits.
However, gdbarch_addr_bit is set to 32 on SPU, and may be set to 32 as well
on PowerPC. Since the new gdbarch_significant_addr_bit defaults to the
value of gdbarch_addr_bit, this means addresses may be improperly truncated.
Work around this problem by explicitly setting gdbarch_significant_addr_bit
to 64 both for the SPU target and also for PowerPC target that support
Cell/B.E. execution.

Dot products deviate from the normal disassembly rules for lane indexed
instruction. Their canonical representation is in the form of:
v0.2s, v0.8b, v0.4b[0] instead of v0.2s, v0.8b, v0.b[0] to try to denote
that these instructions select 4x 1 byte elements instead of a single 1 byte
element.
Previously we were disassembling them following the normal rules, this patch
corrects the disassembly.

Previously parse_vector_type_for_operand was changed to allow the use of 4b
register size for indexed lane instructions. However this had the unintended
side effect of also allowing 4b for normal vector registers.
Because this support was only partial the rest of the tool silently treated
4b as 8b and continued. This patch adds full support for 4b so it can be
properly distinguished from 8b and the correct errors are generated.
With this patch you still can't encode any instruction which actually requires
v<num>.4b but such instructions don't exist so to prevent needing a workaround
in get_vreg_qualifier_from_value this was just omitted.

_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms is called twice by the linker. The
first call in bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections is just to answer the
question as to whether there are there any dynamic symbols. The
second call in bfd_elf_size_dynsym_hash_dynstr sets the st_shndx value
that dynamic symbols will have. strip_excluded_output_sections is
called between these two calls. So sections seen on the first
_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms pass might differ from those seen on
the second pass. Unfortunately, that can result in a stripped
section's dynamic symbol being assigned a dynindx on the first pass
but not corrected to the final value (of zero, ie. not dynamic) on the
second pass. PowerPC, x86, mips, and most other targets that emit
dynamic section symbols, just test that section symbol dynindx is
non-zero before using a given section symbol in dynamic relocations.
This patch prevents _bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms from setting any

Just like for instructions in GPRs, there's no need to have separate
templates for otherwise identical insns acting on XMM or YMM registers
(or memory of the same size).
Use a combination of a single new Reg bit and Byte, Word, Dword, or
Qword instead.
Besides shrinking the number of operand type bits this has the benefit
of making register handling more similar to accumulator handling (a
generic flag is being accompanied by a "size qualifier"). It requires,
however, to split a few insn templates, as it is no longer correct to
have combinations like Reg32|Reg64|Byte. This slight growth in size will
hopefully be outweighed by this change paving the road for folding a
presumably much larger number of templates later on.
Consider the following Ada code defining a global variable whose
type is an array of static bounds (1 .. 2), but where its elements
are a variant record whose size is not statically known:
type Ints is array (Natural range <>) of Integer;
type Bounded_Ints (Max_Size : Natural) is record
Length : Natural := 0;
Objs : Ints (1 .. Max_Size);
end record;
type Ints_Doubled is array (1 .. 2) of Bounded_Ints (Idem (0));
Global : Ints_Doubled;
When compiling this program at -O2 using a GCC-6.4-based compiler
on x86_64-linux, trying to print the value of that global variable
yields:
(gdb) p global
$1 =
Let's look at the debugging info, which starts with the global
variable itself...

[snip]
The error occurs while Ada evaluator is trying to "fix"
the element type inside the array, so as to determine its actual
size. For that, it searches for a parallel "XVZ" variable,
which, when found, contains the object's actual size.
Unfortunately in our case, the variable exists but has been
optimized out, as seen by the presence of a variable DIE in
the debugging info, but with no address attribute:
.uleb128 0x18 # (DIE (0x24e) DW_TAG_variable)
.long .LASF31 # DW_AT_name: "fd__Tints_doubledC___XVZ"
.long 0x257 # DW_AT_type
# DW_AT_artificial
Discussing this with some members of AdaCore's compiler team,
it is expected that the optimizer can get rid of this variable,
and we don't want to pessimize the code just to improve debuggability,
since -O2 is about performance. So, the idea of this patch is
not to make it work, but provide a bit more information to help
users understand what kind of error is preventing GDB from being
able to print the variable's value.
The first hurdle we had to clear was the fact that ada_val_print
traps all exceptions (including QUIT ones!), and does so completly
silently. So, the fix was to add a trace of the exception being
generated. While doing so, we fix an old XXX/FIXME by only catching
errors, letting QUIT exceptions go through.
Once this is done, we now get an error message, which gives a first
clue as to what was happening:
(gdb) p fd.global
$1 = <error reading variable: value has been optimized out>
However, it would be more useful to know which value it was
that was optimized out. For that purpose, we enhanced
ada-lang.c::ada_to_fixed_type_1 so as to re-throw the error
with a message which indicates which variable we failed to read.
With those changes, the new output is now:
(gdb) p fd.global
$1 = <error reading variable: unable to read value of fd__Tints_doubledC___XVZ (value has been optimized out)>
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_type_1): Rethrow errors with
a more detailed exception message when getting an exception
while trying to read the value of an XVZ variable.

Tested on x86_64-linux
Consider the following code, which declares a variabled called "input"
of type "parameter", which is a record with one component called "u2",
where the type of that component is a simple 3-element array of
floating point values:
type Float_Array_3 is array (1 .. 3) of Float;
type parameters is record
u2 : Float_Array_3;
end record;
input : parameters;
Trying to assign a value to input.u2 causes GDB to crash:
(gdb) p input.u2 := (0.25,0.5,0.75)
[1] 20228 segmentation fault (core dumped) [...]/gdb
The crash occurs because input.u2 is described in the debugging
info as a typedef of an array. Indeed, input's type is:
<1><ae9>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<aea> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1045): target_wrapper__parameters
[...]
<2><af5>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_member)
<af6> DW_AT_name : u2
[...]
<afb> DW_AT_type : <0xaca>
and, looking at DIE 0xaca to get input.u2's type, we see:
<1><aca>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_typedef)
<acb> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1060): target_wrapper__float_array_3
[...]
<ad1> DW_AT_type : <0xad5>
We can also confirm, following the DW_AT_type attribute (0xad5), that
it's a typedef of our array:
<1><ad5>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<ad6> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1060): target_wrapper__float_array_3
[...]
In fact, this scenario uncovered 2 areas where typedef handling
is missing, thus causing a crash. The first happens inside
assign_aggregate:
if (ada_is_direct_array_type (lhs_type))
{
lhs = ada_coerce_to_simple_array (lhs);
lhs_type = value_type (lhs);
low_index = TYPE_ARRAY_LOWER_BOUND_VALUE (lhs_type);
high_index = TYPE_ARRAY_UPPER_BOUND_VALUE (lhs_type);
}
Here, lhs_type is a TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF. ada_is_direct_array_type
knows how to handle it, but TYPE_ARRAY_LOWER_BOUND_VALUE assumes
that the given type is a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY. As such, it ends up
accessing some fields in lhs_type which it shouldn't, and kaboom.
We fixed this issue by making sure that the TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF
layer gets stripped.
Once this is done, we hit a different kind of error, also leading to
a SEGV, this time in assign_component. The code looks like this:
if (TYPE_CODE (value_type (lhs)) == TYPE_CODE_ARRAY)
[...]
else
[...]
Because once again lhs is a TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF, the check fail,
and we end up assuming that lhs is a struct, executing the "else"
block, which is:
else
{
elt = ada_index_struct_field (index, lhs, 0, value_type (lhs));
elt = ada_to_fixed_value (elt);
}
Since lhs is not a struct, ada_index_struct_field returns NULL,
which ada_to_fixed_value does not handle well, hence another crash.
This patch fixes this other issue the same way, by stripping
TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF layers.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (assign_component): Strip any TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF
layer from lhs' type.

procedure P (A : Integer_Access) is

Breakpoint 1, foo.p (a=0x641010) at foo.adb:10
... ^^^^^^^^^^
shows that something goes wrong between the initial null value and the
received parameter value in the 'f' function.
The value for the parameter 'a' we get is the address of the value we
would expect instead of the value itself. This can be checked by doing:
(gdb) p *a
$1 = 0
Before this fix, in ada_convert_value, this function was looking to the
actual value (the null value here) to determine if the formal (parameter
'a' in the procedure 'P' in this exemple) requires a pointer or not which
is a wrong assumption and leads to push the address of the value to the
inferior instead of the value itself.
This is fixed by this patch.

This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.
The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality. Here's an example:
/* offset | size */ type = struct wer : public tuv {
public:
/* 32 | 24 */ struct tyu {
/* 32:31 | 4 */ int a1 : 1;
/* 32:28 | 4 */ int a2 : 3;
/* 32: 5 | 4 */ int a3 : 23;
/* 35: 3 | 1 */ char a4 : 2;
/* XXX 3-bit hole */
/* XXX 4-byte hole */
/* 40 | 8 */ int64_t a5;
/* 48:27 | 4 */ int a6 : 5;
/* 48:56 | 8 */ int64_t a7 : 3;
/* total size (bytes): 24 */
} a1;
/* total size (bytes): 56 */
}
A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy. The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft. My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).
After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes. Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt. This should be implemented in a future
patch.
This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB. In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>
This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot. There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation. I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.

Again these look to be typos: No template currently allows for any two
(or all three) of RegXMM, RegYMM, and RegZMM in a single operand. Quite
clearly ! are missing, after the addition of which the checks for the
first and (if present) second operands also fully match up.
They are relevant only when multiple operands permit registers:
operand_type_register_match() returns true if either operand is not a
register one. IOW
grep -i CheckRegSize i386-opc.tbl | grep -Ev "(Reg[8136]|Acc).*,.*(Reg|Acc)"
should produce no output.
I'm rather certain the missing ! was just a typo, the more with the
similar check in mind that's in the same function a few hundred lines
down (in the body of "if (vex_reg != (unsigned int) ~0)"). Of course
this can't be demonstrated by a test case - internal data structure
consistency is being checked here, and neither form of the check
triggers with any current template.
It is also not really clear to me why operand_type_equal() is being used
in the {X,Y,Z}MM register check here, rather than just testing the
respective bits: Just like Reg32|Reg64 is legal in an operand template,
I don't see why e.g. RegXMM|RegYMM wouldn't be. For example it ought to
be possible to combine
vaddpd, 3, 0x6658, None, 1, CpuAVX, Modrm|Vex|VexOpcode=0|VexVVVV=1|VexW=1|IgnoreSize|No_bSuf|No_wSuf|No_lSuf|No_sSuf|No_qSuf|No_ldSuf, { Xmmword|Unspecified|BaseIndex|Disp8|Disp16|Disp32|Disp32S|RegXMM, RegXMM, RegXMM }
vaddpd, 3, 0x6658, None, 1, CpuAVX, Modrm|Vex=2|VexOpcode=0|VexVVVV=1|VexW=1|IgnoreSize|No_bSuf|No_wSuf|No_lSuf|No_sSuf|No_qSuf|No_ldSuf, { Ymmword|Unspecified|BaseIndex|Disp8|Disp16|Disp32|Disp32S|RegYMM, RegYMM, RegYMM }
into a single template (with setting of VEX.L suitably handled elsewhere
if that's not already happening anyway).
Additionally I don't understand why this uses abort() instead of
gas_assert().
Both of these latter considerations then also apply to the
aforementioned other check in the same function.
We never need to resolve_forwards() a symbol found by hash table lookup
such as target->tls_get_addr_opt() but we do potentially need to do so
for random symbols seen on relocs. So these calls were in the wrong
order, resulting in missing stubs and an assertion failure.

* powerpc.cc (Target_powerpc::Branch_info::mark_pltcall): Resolve
forwards before replacing __tls_get_addr.
(Target_powerpc::Branch_info::make_stub): Likewise.
Consider the following code:
type Top_T is tagged record
N : Integer := 1;
U : Integer := 974;
A : Integer := 48;
end record;
type Middle_T is new Top.Top_T with record
N : Character := 'a';
C : Integer := 3;
end record;
type Bottom_T is new Middle.Middle_T with record
N : Float := 4.0;
C : Character := '5';
X : Integer := 6;
A : Character := 'J';
end record;
Tagged records in Ada provide object-oriented features, and what
is interesting in the code above is that a child tagged record
introduce additional components (fields) which sometimes have
the same name as one of the components in the parent. For instance,
Bottom_T introduces a component named "C", while at the same time
inheriting from Middle_T which also has a component named "C";
so, in essence, type Bottom_T has two components with the same name!
And before people start wondering why the language can possibly
be allowing that, this can only happen if the parent type has
a private definition. In our case, this was brought to our attention
when the parent was a generic paramenter.
With that in mind... Let's say we now have a variable declared
and initialized as follow:
TC : Top_A := new Bottom_T;
And then we use this variable to call this function
procedure Assign (Obj: in out Top_T; TV : Integer);
as follow:
Assign (Top_T (B), 12);
Now, we're in the debugger, and we're inside that procedure
(Top.Assign in our gdb testcase), and we want to print
the value of obj.c:
Usually, the tagged record or one of the parent type owns the
component to print and there's no issue but in this particular
case, what does it mean to ask for Obj.C ? Since the actual
type for object is type Bottom_T, it could mean two things: type
component C from the Middle_T view, but also component C from
Bottom_T. So in that "undefined" case, when the component is
not found in the non-resolved type (which includes all the
components of the parent type), then resolve it and see if we
get better luck once expanded.
In the case of homonyms in the derived tagged type, we don't
guaranty anything, and pick the one that's easiest for us
to program.
This patch fixes the behavior like described above.

In Python 3, the 'p' format specifier can be passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords to test the argument for truth and convert
it to a boolean value (the p stands for predicate). However, it is not
available in Python 2, causing this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
b1 = gdb.Breakpoint("foo", qualified=False)
TypeError: argument 10 (impossible<bad format char>)
This patch changes it to the 'O' specifier, which returns the Python
object passed in without transformation, and uses PyObject_IsTrue on it.
This is what is done for the other boolean parameters of this function
(internal and temporary).
This fixes the test gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp for Python 2.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Use 'O' format specifier
for "qualified" and use PyObject_IsTrue.
We can run the gnu_unique_object symbol test on all ELF targets.
Those that don't support the symbol type and fail to assemble can just
be resolved as "unsupported". This means binutils_assemble can't
report an error on assembly failure, but it probably should never have
done that anyway.
* testsuite/lib/utils-lib.exp (default_binutils_assemble_flags):
Don't perror on assembler diagnostic output.
* testsuite/binutils-all/nm.exp: Run unique symbol test on all
ELF targets. Resolve as "unsupported" on assembly failure.
The .debug_names completely misses its support as it did not even produce
DW_IDX_type_unit.

Consider the following Ada Code:
type Str is new String (1 .. 4);
My_str : Str := "ABCD";
This simply declares a 4-character string type. Trying to perform
equality tests using it currently yield an error:
(gdb) p my_str = my_str
Attempt to compare array with non-array
(gdb) p my_str = "ABCD"
Attempt to compare array with non-array
The error occurs because my_str is defined as an object whose
type is a typdef to a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY, which ada_value_equal
is not expecting at all (yet). This patch fixes this oversight.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_equal): Add handling of typedef types
when comparing array objects.

The reasons for not supporting task switching when debugging core files
appear to now mostly be OBE. In particular, on GNU/Linux, the thread
layer is now able to retrieve the same thread info as in the live
process. So, this patch is mostly about just removing the guard
that limited the use of task switching to live processes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (read_atcb): Properly set task_info->ptid
when !target_has_execution as well.
(task_command): Remove error when !target_has_execution.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/task_switch_in_core: New testcase.
