This commit replaces this patch:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-January/174933.html
which was itself a replacement for this patch:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170335.html
The motivation behind the original patch can be seen in the new test,
which currently gives a GDB session like this:
(gdb) ptype var8
type = Type type6
PTR TO -> ( Type type2 :: ptr_1 )
PTR TO -> ( Type type2 :: ptr_2 )
End Type type6
(gdb) ptype var8%ptr_2
type = PTR TO -> ( Type type2
integer(kind=4) :: spacer
Type type1, allocatable :: t2_array(:) <------ Issue #1
End Type type2 )
(gdb) ptype var8%ptr_2%t2_array
Cannot access memory at address 0x38 <------ Issue #2
(gdb)
Issue #1: Here we see the abstract dynamic type, rather than the
resolved concrete type. Though in some cases the user might be
interested in the abstract dynamic type, I think that in most cases
showing the resolved concrete type will be of more use. Plus, the
user can always figure out the dynamic type (by source code inspection
if nothing else) given the concrete type, but it is much harder to
figure out the concrete type given only the dynamic type.
Issue #2: In this example, GDB evaluates the expression in
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode (due to ptype). The value returned for
var8%ptr_2 will be a non-lazy, zero value of the correct dynamic
type. However, when GDB asks about the type of t2_array this requires
GDB to access the value of var8%ptr_2 in order to read the dynamic
properties. As this value was forced to zero (thanks to the use of
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS) then GDB ends up accessing memory at a base
of zero plus some offset.
Both this patch, and my previous two attempts, have all tried to
resolve this problem by stopping EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS replacing the
result value with a zero value in some cases.
This new patch is influenced by how Ada handles its tagged typed.
There are plenty of examples in ada-lang.c, but one specific case is
ada_structop_operation::evaluate. When GDB spots that we are dealing
with a tagged (dynamic) type, and we're in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS
mode, then GDB re-evaluates the child operation in EVAL_NORMAL mode.
This commit handles two cases like this specifically for Fortran, a
new fortran_structop_operation, and the already existing
fortran_undetermined, which is where we handle array accesses.
In these two locations we spot when we are dealing with a dynamic type
and re-evaluate the child operation in EVAL_NORMAL mode so that we
are able to access the dynamic properties of the type.
The rest of this commit message is my attempt to record why my
previous patches failed.
To understand my second patch, and why it failed lets consider two
expressions, this Fortran expression:
(gdb) ptype var8%ptr_2%t2_array --<A>
Operation: STRUCTOP_STRUCT --(1)
Operation: STRUCTOP_STRUCT --(2)
Operation: OP_VAR_VALUE --(3)
Symbol: var8
Block: 0x3980ac0
String: ptr_2
String: t2_array
And this C expression:
(gdb) ptype ptr && ptr->a == 3 --<B>
Operation: BINOP_LOGICAL_AND --(4)
Operation: OP_VAR_VALUE --(5)
Symbol: ptr
Block: 0x45a2a00
Operation: BINOP_EQUAL --(6)
Operation: STRUCTOP_PTR --(7)
Operation: OP_VAR_VALUE --(8)
Symbol: ptr
Block: 0x45a2a00
String: a
Operation: OP_LONG --(9)
Type: int
Constant: 0x0000000000000003
In expression <A> we should assume that t2_array is of dynamic type.
Nothing has dynamic type in expression <B>.
This is how GDB currently handles expression <A>, in all cases,
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS or EVAL_NORMAL, an OP_VAR_VALUE operation
always returns the real value of the symbol, this is not forced to a
zero value even in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode. This means that (3),
(5), and (8) will always return a real lazy value for the symbol.
However a STRUCTOP_STRUCT will always replace its result with a
non-lazy, zero value with the same type as its result. So (2) will
lookup the field ptr_2 and create a zero value with that type. In
this case the type is a pointer to a dynamic type.
Then, when we evaluate (1) to figure out the resolved type of
t2_array, we need to read the types dynamic properties. These
properties are stored in memory relative to the objects base address,
and the base address is in var8%ptr_2, which we already figured out
has the value zero. GDB then evaluates the DWARF expressions that
take the base address, add an offset and dereference. GDB then ends
up trying to access addresses like 0x16, 0x8, etc.
To fix this, I proposed changing STRUCTOP_STRUCT so that instead of
returning a zero value we instead returned the actual value
representing the structure's field in the target. My thinking was
that GDB would not try to access the value's contents unless it needed
it to resolve a dynamic type. This belief was incorrect.
Consider expression <B>. We already know that (5) and (8) will return
real values for the symbols being referenced. The BINOP_LOGICAL_AND,
operation (4) will evaluate both of its children in
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS in order to get the types, this is required
for C++ operator lookup. This means that even if the value of (5)
would result in the BINOP_LOGICAL_AND returning false (say, ptr is
NULL), we still evaluate (6) in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode.
Operation (6) will evaluate both children in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS
mode, operation (9) is easy, it just returns a value with the constant
packed into it, but (7) is where the problem lies. Currently in GDB
this STRUCTOP_STRUCT will always return a non-lazy zero value of the
correct type.
When the results of (7) and (9) are back in the BINOP_LOGICAL_AND
operation (6), the two values are passed to value_equal which performs
the comparison and returns a result. Note, the two things compared
here are the immediate value (9), and a non-lazy zero value from (7).
However, with my proposed patch operation (7) no longer returns a zero
value, instead it returns a lazy value representing the actual value
in target memory. When we call value_equal in (6) this code causes
GDB to try and fetch the actual value from target memory. If `ptr` is
NULL then this will cause GDB to access some invalid address at an
offset from zero, this will most likely fail, and cause GDB to throw
an error instead of returning the expected type.
And so, we can now describe the problem that we're facing. The way
GDB's expression evaluator is currently written we assume, when in
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode, that any value returned from a child
operation can safely have its content read without throwing an
error. If child operations start returning real values (instead of
the fake zero values), then this is simply not true.
If we wanted to work around this then we would need to rewrite almost
all operations (I would guess) so that EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode
does not cause evaluation of an operation to try and read the value of
a child operation. As an example, consider this current GDB code from
eval.c:
struct value *
eval_op_equal (struct type *expect_type, struct expression *exp,
enum noside noside, enum exp_opcode op,
struct value *arg1, struct value *arg2)
{
if (binop_user_defined_p (op, arg1, arg2))
{
return value_x_binop (arg1, arg2, op, OP_NULL, noside);
}
else
{
binop_promote (exp->language_defn, exp->gdbarch, &arg1, &arg2);
int tem = value_equal (arg1, arg2);
struct type *type = language_bool_type (exp->language_defn,
exp->gdbarch);
return value_from_longest (type, (LONGEST) tem);
}
}
We could change this function to be this:
struct value *
eval_op_equal (struct type *expect_type, struct expression *exp,
enum noside noside, enum exp_opcode op,
struct value *arg1, struct value *arg2)
{
if (binop_user_defined_p (op, arg1, arg2))
{
return value_x_binop (arg1, arg2, op, OP_NULL, noside);
}
else
{
struct type *type = language_bool_type (exp->language_defn,
exp->gdbarch);
if (noside == EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS)
return value_zero (type, VALUE_LVAL (arg1));
else
{
binop_promote (exp->language_defn, exp->gdbarch, &arg1, &arg2);
int tem = value_equal (arg1, arg2);
return value_from_longest (type, (LONGEST) tem);
}
}
}
Now we don't call value_equal unless we really need to. However, we
would need to make the same, or similar change to almost all
operations, which would be a big task, and might not be a direction we
wanted to take GDB in.
So, for now, I'm proposing we go with the more targeted, Fortran
specific solution, that does the minimal required in order to
correctly resolve the dynamic types.

It is not currently possible to cast some values to an rvaule
reference. This happens when simple scalar values are cast to an
rvalue reference of the same type, e.g.:
int global_var;
Then in GDB:
(gdb) p static_cast<int&&> (global_var)
Attempt to take address of value not located in memory.
Which is clearly silly.
The problem is that as part of the cast an intermediate value is
created within GDB that becomes an lval_none rather than the original
lval_memory. The casting logic basically goes like this:
The call tree that leads to the error looks like this:
value_cast
value_cast
value_ref
value_addr
error
The first value_cast call is casting the value for 'global_var' to
type 'int&&'. GDB spots that the target type is a reference, and so
calls value_cast again, this time casting 'global_var' to type 'int'.
We then call value_ref to convert the result of the second value_cast
into a reference.
Unfortunately, the second cast results in the value (for global_var)
changing from an lval_memory to an lval_none. This is because int to
int casting calls extract_unsigned_integer and then
value_from_longest.
In theory value_cast has a check at its head that should help in this
case, the code is:
if (value_type (arg2) == type)
return arg2;
However, this only works in some cases. In our case
'value_type (arg2)' will be an objfile owned type, while the type from
the expression parser 'int&&' will be gdbarch owned. The pointers
will not be equal, but the meaning of the type will be equal.
I did consider making the int to int casting case smarter, but this
obviously is only one example. We must also consider things like
float to float, or pointer to pointer....
So, I instead decided to try and make the initial check smarter.
Instead of a straight pointer comparison, I now propose that we use
types_deeply_equal. If this is true then we are casting something
back to its current type, in which case we can preserve the lval
setting by using value_copy.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* valops.c (value_cast): Call value_deeply_equal before performing
any cast.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

(f4): New function.
(global_int): New global variable.

(main): Call both new functions.
* gdb.cp/rvalue-ref-params.exp: Add new tests.
I noticed that in types equal we start with a cheap pointer equality
check, then resolve typedefs, then do a series of (semi-)expensive
checks, including checking type names, before, finally performing
another pointer equality check.
We should hoist the second pointer equality check to immediately after
we have resolved typedefs. This would save performing the more
expensive checks.
This isn't going to give any noticable performance improvement, I just
spotted this in passing and figured I might as well commit the fix.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (types_equal): Move pointer equality check earlier in
the function.

DWARF allows .dwo file paths to be relative rather than absolute.
When they are relative, DWARF uses DW_AT_comp_dir to find the .dwo
file. DW_AT_comp_dir can also be relative, making the entire search
patch for the .dwo file relative.
In this case, GDB currently searches relative to its current working
directory, i.e. the directory from which the debugger was launched,
but not relative to the directory containing the built binary. This
cannot be right, as the compiler, when generating the relative paths,
knows where it's building the binary but can have no idea where the
debugger will be launched.
The correct thing is to add the directory containing the binary to the
search paths used for resolving relative locations of dwo files. That
is what this patch does.

* dwarf2/read.c (try_open_dwop_file): Add path for the binary to

This commit fixes fission support in the Dwarf assembler. I added the
new test gdb.dwarf2/fission-absolute-dwo.exp which is a simple example
of using the fission support. I also rewrote the existing test
gdb.dwarf2/fission-multi-cu.exp to use the new functionality (instead
of using an x86-64 only assembler file).
To better support compiling the assembler files produced by the Dwarf
assembler I have added the new proc build_executable_and_dwo_files in
lib/dwarf.exp, this replaces build_executable_from_fission_assembler,
all the tests that used the old proc have been updated. Where the old
proc assumed a single .S source file which contained the entire test,
the new proc allows for multiple source files.
The Dwarf assembler already had some fission support, however, this
was not actually used in any tests, and when I tried using it there
were a few issues.
The biggest change is that we now generate DW_FORM_GNU_addr_index
instead of DW_FORM_addr for the low and high pc in
_handle_macro_at_range, support for the DW_FORM_GNU_addr_index is new
in this commit.

While messing with the Dwarf assembler (gdb/testsuite/lib/dwarf.exp) I
managed to create an ELF which made use of DW_FORM_strp, but didn't
include a .debug_str section.
When I started GDB on this ELF, GDB crashed. I would have expected to
get an error instead.
I tracked this down to an unfortunate design choice in
dwarf2_section_info, a class which wraps around a bfd section, and is
used for reading in debug information. GBB creates many
dwarf2_section_info objects, one for each debug section that might
need to be read, then as we find the input bfd sections we associate
them with the corresponding dwarf2_section_info.
If no matching input bfd section is found then the dwarf2_section_info
is left in an unassociated state, its internal bfd section pointer is
null.
If later GDB tries to read content from the dwarf2_section_info, for
example, which trying to read the string associated with DW_FORM_strp,
we spot that there is no associated bfd section and issue an error
message.
To make the users life easier, the error message includes the section
name being looked for, and the bfd from which the section was
obtained.
However, we get the section name by calling bfd_section_name on the
associated section, and we get the bfd filename by calling
bfd_get_filename on the owner of the associated section.
Of course, if there is no associated section then both the calls
bfd_section_name and dwarf2_section_info::get_bfd_owner will result in
undefined behaviour (e.g. a crash).
The solution I propose in this patch is, I know, not ideal. I simply
spot the case where there is no associated section, and print a
simpler error message, leaving out the section name and filename.
A better solution would involve redesigning dwarf2_section_info, we
could associate each dwarf2_section_info with the initial bfd being
parsed. We would then display this filename if there's nothing better
to display (e.g. if we find a section in a dwo/dwp split dwarf file
then we would probably use that filename in preference).
Each dwarf2_section_info could also have the concept of the default
section name that would be read for that section, for example, string
data might appear in ".debug_str" or ".zdebug_str", but if neither is
found, then it would probably be OK to just say ".debug_str" is
missing.
Anyway, I didn't do any of that redesign, I just wanted to stop GDB
crashing for now, so instead we get this:
Dwarf Error: DW_FORM_strp used without required section
Which isn't the best, but in context, isn't too bad:
Reading symbols from /path/to/executable...
Dwarf Error: DW_FORM_strp used without required section
(No debugging symbols found in /path/to/executable)
I also added some asserts into dwarf2_section_info which should
trigger before GDB crashes in future, if we trigger any other bad
paths through this code.
And there's a test for the specific issue I hit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/section.c (dwarf2_section_info::get_bfd_owner): Add an
assert.

when the dwarf2_section_info is not associated with a bfd section.

It was reported on IRC that using gdb.parameter('data-directory')
doesn't work correctly.
The problem is that the data directory is stored in 'gdb_datadir',
however the set/show command is associated with a temporary
'staged_gdb_datadir'.
When the user does 'set data-directory VALUE', the VALUE is stored in
'staged_gdb_datadir' by GDB, then set_gdb_datadir is called. This in
turn calls set_gdb_data_directory to copy the value from
staged_gdb_datadir into gdb_datadir.
However, set_gdb_data_directory will resolve relative paths, so the
value stored in gdb_datadir might not match the value in
staged_gdb_datadir.
The Python gdb.parameter API fetches the parameter values by accessing
the variable associated with the show command, so in this case
staged_gdb_datadir. This causes two problems:
1. Initially staged_gdb_datadir is NULL, and remains as such until the
user does 'set data-directory VALUE' (which might never happen), but
gdb_datadir starts with GDB's default data-directory value. So
initially from Python gdb.parameter('data-directory') will return the
empty string, even though at GDB's CLI 'show data-directory' prints a
real path.
2. If the user does 'set data-directory ./some/relative/path', GDB
will resolve the relative path, thus, 'show data-directory' at the CLI
will print an absolute path. However, the value is staged_gdb_datadir
will still be the relative path, and gdb.parameter('data-directory')
from Python will return the relative path.
In this commit I fix both of these issues by:
1. Initialising the value in staged_gdb_datadir based on the initial
value in gdb_datadir, and
2. In set_gdb_datadir, after calling set_gdb_data_directory, I copy
the value in gdb_datadir back into staged_gdb_datadir.
With these two changes in place the value in staged_gdb_datadir should
always match the value in gdb_datadir, and accessing data-directory
from Python should now work correctly.

In particular for targets overriding any of TC_FORCE_RELOCATION_* & Co

worse.
Due to a bogus linker script, or perhaps because a section doesn't get
placed by a linker script while default placement puts it too high up,
sections can end up above .reloc. Since the process of determining its
contents (and hence its size) happens before final section placement,
relocations needed for such sections would no longer point at the
correct address in the final binary. Warn about this (down the road this
may want to become an error, unless size determination and content
creation for .reloc would get decoupled).
To avoid triggering the warning when .reloc gets discarded, suppress
populating the section in the first place in this case.
On openSUSE Tumbleweed I run into:

Using a minimal example, we get:

...
The problem is in len_without_escapes, where we detect the start of an escape
sequence, but then pass ptr to style.parse while ptr no longer points to the
escape due to the ptr++ in the while condition:
...
while ((c = *ptr++) != '\0')
{
if (c == '\033')
{
ui_file_style style;
size_t n_read;
if (style.parse (ptr, &n_read))

Fix this by removing the ++ in the while condition, and adding ptr++ in the
loop body where appropriate.

* configure: Rebuild.
* configure.ac (READLINE): Adjust in-tree value.
Certain library headers and functions are required by C99. This
removes configure tests for them. The patch also removes AC_ISC_POSIX
and AC_HEADER_DIRENT, which the autoconf manual states are obsolescent.
sys/time.h is no longer tangled up with time.h so it can be handled by
the gprof configure.

Given C99 we don't need to check for setlocale. The patch also
adds setitimer checks so that they can be removed from bfd where they
aren't needed. According to the automake manual AC_ISC_POSIX is
obsolete, so that is removed. HAVE_SETMODE isn't checked anywhere,
so it is pointless to have a configure test for setmode.

When trying to do pretty much anything that requires unwinding a frame
on AVR, we get
/home/simark/src/wt/avr/gdb/trad-frame.h:143: internal-error: LONGEST trad_frame_saved_reg::addr() const: Assertion `m_kind == trad_frame_saved_reg_kind::ADDR' failed.
This is likely coming from the trad-frame refactor in 098caef485
("Refactor struct trad_frame_saved_regs"). Here's an example of how to
reproduce it:
In one terminal:
$ cat test.c
int foo(int x)
{
return x * 7;
}
int main() {
return foo(2);
}
$ avr-gcc -gdwarf-4 -mmcu=atmega2560 test.c
$ /tmp/simavr/bin/simavr --mcu atmega2560 -g a.out
Loaded 330 .text at address 0x0

And in another one:

/home/simark/src/wt/avr/gdb/trad-frame.h:143: internal-error: LONGEST trad_frame_saved_reg::addr() const: Assertion `m_kind == trad_frame_saved_reg_kind::ADDR' failed.
What the AVR code does is:
1. In avr_scan_prologue, in the block that says "First stage of the
prologue scanning.", look for "push rX" instructions and note that rX
is saved on the stack. But instead of putting the actual stack
address directly, it puts an offset (from the previous frame's sp).
2. Back in avr_frame_unwind_cache, in the block that says "Adjust all
the saved registers", adjust all these values to be real stack
addresses.
To check whether a register was assigned an address (and therefore if it
needs adjustment), the code does:
if (info->saved_regs[i].addr () > 0)
Since commit 098caef485, it's invalid to call the `addr` getter of
trad_frame_saved_reg if the register hasn't been assigned an address.
Instead, the code could use the `is_addr` getter to verify if the
register has been assigned an address. This is what this patch does.

Provide a simple example simulator for people porting to new targets
to use as a reference. This one has the advantage of being used by
people and having a fun program available for it.
It doesn't require a special target -- the example simulators can be
built for any existing port.
Now that we have the common automake build with support for build-time
programs working, we can integrate the common tests into the default
`make check` flow.
This doesn't actually create one `run` program like other projects,
but creates multiple `run-$arch` targets. While it might not seem
that useful initially, this has some nice properties:
- Allows us to quickly build all sim targets in a single tree.
- Positions us better for converting targets over to a proper
multitarget build+install.
We don't have the ability to actually run tests against them, but
that's due to a limitation in gas: it doesn't support multitarget.
If that ever changes, we should be able to turn on our tests too.
We can improve the test framework to fallback to a system toolchain
if available to help mitigate that.
This simplifies the build a bit (especially for deps in port subdirs),
and avoids recursive make. This in turn speeds up the build, and sets
us up for multi-target.
I noticed it was unused. I think that makes sense, as it shows that
objfile_per_bfd_storage is not specific to one objfile (it can be shared
by multiple objfiles that have the same bfd).
There is one thing I wonder though, maybe I'm missing something. If
the BFD doesn't require relocation, get_objfile_bfd_data stores the
newly allocated object in objfiles_bfd_data, so we can assume that
objfiles_bfd_data is the owner of the object. When the bfd's refcount
drops to 0, the corresponding objfile_per_bfd_storage object in
objfiles_bfd_data is deleted.
But if the BFD requires relocation, get_objfile_bfd_data returns a newly
allocated object that isn't kept anywhere else (and isn't shared). So
the objfile becomes the owner of the objfile_per_bfd_storage object. In
objfile::~objfile, we have this:
if (obfd)
gdb_bfd_unref (obfd);
else
delete per_bfd;
I'm thinking that obfd could be non-nullptr, and it could require
relocation. In that case, it would never be freed. Anyway, that's not
really connected to this patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* objfiles.c (get_objfile_bfd_data): Remove objfile parameter,
adjust callers.
Change-Id: Ifa3158074ea6b42686780ba09d0c964b0cf14cf1
Since partial_symtab is supposed to be objfile-independent (since series
[1]), I think it would make sense for partial_symtab to not take an
objfile as a parameter in its constructor.
This patch replaces that parameter with an objfile_per_bfd_storage
parameter.
The objfile is used for two things:
- to get the objfile_name, for debug messages. We can get that name
from the bfd instead.
- to intern the partial symtab filename. Even though it goes through
an objfile method, the request is actually forwarded to the
underlying objfile_per_bfd_storage. So we can ask the new
objfile_per_bfd_storage instead.
In order to get a reference to the BFD from the objfile_per_bfd_storage,
the BFD is saved in the objfile_per_bfd_storage object.

Python 3.4 has deprecated the imp module in favour of importlib. This
patch avoids the DeprecationWarning. This warning is visible to users
whose libpython.so has been compiled with --with-pydebug.
Considering that even python 3.5 has reached end of life, would it be
better to just use importlib and drop support for python 3.0 to 3.3?

The change in PR19011 changed the image load address from being in the lower
32-bit address space to the higher 64-bit address space.
However when you have a weak undef symbol which stays undef at the end of
linking the linker has to resolve this (Windows loader does not support undef
symbols). As such typically these would resolve to 0.
The relocation used for these weak symbols are the normal 32-bit PC_REL call
relocs. So when doing the overflow check LD checks if the distance between the
symbol and the call is within range. However now that the load address is
> 32-bits and the symbol val is 0 this overflow check will always fail.
As such the linker gives a bogus error. This patch makes the linker not emit
the overflow failure but chooses to still let the check be performed (as it's
mid-end code).
One down side of this is that it does break the common convention that the call
be to sym at 0x0. i.e. before you'd get
401015: 74 05 je 40101c
401017: e8 e4 ef bf ff callq 0
and now you get
140001015: 74 05 je 14000101c
140001017: e8 e4 ef ff bf call 100000000
since the call is PC_REL there's no way to get the range large enough to
resolve to 0. As such I have chosen to leave it as the furthest simple range
that we can still represent.
By only ignoring the error we leave the symbol value itself to still be 0
such that the if(<symbol>) checks still work correctly.
