On Windows, it is possible to disable ASLR when creating a process.
This patch adds code to do this, and hooks it up to gdb's existing
disable-randomization feature. Because the Windows documentation
cautions that this isn't available on all versions of Windows, the
CreateProcess wrapper function is updated to make the attempt, and
then fall back to the current approach if it fails.
I noticed that solib_name_from_address returned a non-const string,
but it's more appropriate to return const. This patch implements
this. Tested by rebuilding.
In commit 1390b65a1b ("[gdb/rust] Fix literal truncation") I forgot to add
_() around a string using in an error call.
Fix this by adding the missing _().
Tested on x86_64-linux.
In skip_arch in gdb/selftest-arch.c we skip architecture fr300 because of
PR20946, but the PR has been fixed by commit 0ae60c3ef4 ("Prevent an abort in
the FRV disassembler if the target bfd name is unknown.") in Januari 2017.
Remove the skipping of frv::fr300.

I noticed that the gdb NEWS file had two "Python API" sections in
"Changes since GDB 12". This patch consolidates the two. I chose to
preserve the second one, first because it is longer, and second
because I felt that user command changes should come before API
changes.
varobj used to store 'print_value' as a C string, where NULL was a
valid value, and so it had logic to handle this situation. However,
at some point this was changed to be a std::string, and so the code
can be simplified in this spot.
PR mi/14270 points out that mi-break.exp has some tests for an
unimplemented "-r" switch for "-break-insert". This switch was never
implemented, and is not documented -- though it is mentioned in a
comment in the documentation. This patch removes the test and the doc
comment.

In print_one_insn_test we have this cluster of skipped tests:
...

case bfd_arch_mep:
case bfd_arch_mips:
case bfd_arch_tic6x:
case bfd_arch_xtensa:

skipped.
Likewise, document bfd_arch_or1k because it's an odd case.

The insn is written to gdb_stdout, and there is code in the selftest to add a
newline after the insn, which writes to stream().
The stream() ui_file points into a string buffer, which the disassembler uses
before writing to gdb_stdout, so writing into it after the disassembler has
finished has no effect.
Fix this by using gdb_stdlog and debug_printf (which is what the unit test
infrastructure itself uses) instead, such that we have:

gdb/python: improve formatting of help text for user defined commands
the test that was added (gdb.python/py-doc-reformat.exp) was missing a
call to skip_python_tests. As a result, this test would fail for any
GDB built within Python support.
This commit adds a call to skip_python_tests.
I found a comment that referred to Python 2, but that is now obsolete
-- the code it refers to is gone. I'm checking in this patch to
remove the comment.
There's a similar comment elsewhere, but I plan to remove that one in
another patch I'm going to submit shortly.
Rewrite parse_number to use ULONGEST instead of LONGEST, to fix UB errors as
mentioned in PR29163.
Furthermore, make sure we error out on overflow instead of truncating in all
cases.

Make sure we error out on overflow instead of truncating in all cases.
I've used as overflow string: "Integer literal is too large", based
on what I found at
<rust-lang/rust>/src/test/ui/parser/int-literal-too-large-span.rs
but perhaps someone has a better idea.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with a build with --enable-targets=all.
Make sure we error out on overflow instead of truncating in all cases.
The current implementation of parse_number contains a comment about PR16377,
but that's related to C-like languages. In absence of information of whether
the same fix is needed for pascal, take the conservative approach and keep
behaviour for decimals unchanged.

As mentioned in commit 5b758627a1 ("Make gdb.base/parse_number.exp test all
architectures"):
...
There might be a bug that 32-bit fortran truncates 64-bit values to
32-bit, given "p/x 0xffffffffffffffff" returns "0xffffffff".
...
More concretely, we have:
...
$ for arch in i386:x86-64 i386; do \
gdb -q -batch -ex "set arch $arch" -ex "set lang fortran" \
-ex "p /x 0xffffffffffffffff"; \
done
The target architecture is set to "i386:x86-64".
$1 = 0xffffffffffffffff
The target architecture is set to "i386".
$1 = 0xffffffff
...
Fix this by adding a range check in parse_number in gdb/f-exp.y.
Furthermore, make sure we error out on overflow instead of truncating in all
other cases.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
[ Assuming arch i386:x86-64, sizeof (int) == 4,
sizeof (long) == sizeof (long long) == 8. ]
Currently we have (decimal for 0x80000000):
...
(gdb) ptype 2147483648
type = unsigned int
...
According to C language rules, unsigned types cannot be used for decimal
constants, so the type should be long instead (reported in PR16377).
Fix this by making sure the type of 2147483648 is long.
The next interesting case is (decimal for 0x8000000000000000):
...
(gdb) ptype 9223372036854775808
type = unsigned long
...
According to the same rules, unsigned long is incorrect.
Current gcc uses __int128 as type, which is allowed, but we don't have that
available in gdb, so the strict response here would be erroring out with
overflow.
Older gcc without __int128 support, as well as clang use an unsigned type, but with
a warning. Interestingly, clang uses "unsigned long long" while gcc uses
"unsigned long", which seems the better choice.
Given that the compilers allow this as a convience, do the same in gdb
and keep type "unsigned long", and make this explicit in parser and test-case.
Furthermore, make sure we error out on overflow instead of truncating in all
cases.

Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16377
Currently we only test value 0xffffffffffffffff in test-case
gdb.base/parse_numbers.exp.
Test more interesting values, both in decimal and hex format, as well as
negative decimals for language modula-2.
This results in an increase in total tests from 15572 to 847448 (55 times
more tests).
Balance out the increase in runtime by reducing the number of architectures
tested: only test one architecture per sizeof longlong/long/int/short
combination, while keeping the possibility intact to run with all
architectures (through setting a variable in the test-case)
Results in slight reduction of total tests: 15572 -> 13853.
Document interesting cases in the expected results:
- wrapping from unsigned to signed
- truncation
- PR16377: using unsigned types to represent decimal constants in C
Running the test-case with a gdb build with -fsanitize=undefined, we trigger
two UB errors in the modula-2 parser, filed as PR29163.
Tested on x86_64-linux with --enable-targets=all.
On openSUSE Tumbleweed (with gcc-12, enabling ctf tests) I run into:

{[0-9]+ = {double \(\)} 0x[0-9a-z]+.*} \

...
The problem is a curly brace as fourth argument to gdb_test, which errors out
due to recently introduced more strict argument checking in gdb_test.
Fix the error by removing the brace.
Though this fixes the error for me, due to PR29160 I get only FAILs, so I can't
claim proper testing on x86_64-linux.

The matching in the failing gdb_test_multiple is done in an intricate way,
trying to pass on some order and fail on another order.
Fix this by rewriting the regexps to match one line at most, and detecting
invalid order by setting and checking state variables.

When running selftest print_one_insn::ez80-adl we run into this warning:
...
Running selftest print_one_insn::ez80-adl.
warning: Unable to determine inferior's software breakpoint type: couldn't
find `_break_handler' function in inferior. Will be used default software \

When running the selftests, I run into:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex "maint selftest"
...
Running selftest execute_cfa_program::aarch64:ilp32.
warning: A handler for the OS ABI "GNU/Linux" is not built into this
configuration of GDB. Attempting to continue with the default aarch64:ilp32
settings.
...
and likewise for execute_cfa_program::i8086 and
execute_cfa_program::ia64-elf32.
The warning can easily be reproduced outside the selftests by doing:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex "set arch aarch64:ilp32"
...
and can be prevented by first doing "set osabi none".
Fix the warning by setting osabi to none while doing selftests that iterate
over all architectures.
This causes a regression in the print_one_insn selftests for the ARC
architecture.
The problem is pre-existing, and can be demonstrated (already without this
patch) using:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex "set osabi none" -ex "maint selftest print_one_insn::A6"
Running selftest print_one_insn::A6.
Self test failed: Cannot access memory at address 0x0
Ran 1 unit tests, 1 failed
$
...
For ARC, we use the generic case in print_one_insn_test, containing this code:
...
int kind = gdbarch_breakpoint_kind_from_pc (gdbarch, &pc);
...
insn = gdbarch_sw_breakpoint_from_kind (gdbarch, kind, &bplen);
...
The problem is that with osabi linux we trigger:
...
static int
arc_linux_breakpoint_kind_from_pc (struct gdbarch *gdbarch, CORE_ADDR *pcptr)
{
return trap_size;
}
...
but with osabi none:
...
arc_breakpoint_kind_from_pc (struct gdbarch *gdbarch, CORE_ADDR *pcptr)
{
size_t length_with_limm = gdb_insn_length (gdbarch, *pcptr);
...
which needs access to memory, and will consequently fail.
Fix this in print_one_insn_test, in the default case, by iterating over
supported osabi's to makes sure we trigger arc_linux_breakpoint_kind_from_pc
which will give us a usable instruction to disassemble.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
This reverts commit fc18b1c5af ("[gdb] Fix warning in foreach_arch
selftests").
The commit introduced regressions for an --enable-targets=all build:
...
Running selftest print_one_insn::A6.^M
Self test failed: Cannot access memory at address 0x0^M
...
and while investigating those I realized that the commit fc18b1c5af
complicates things by trying to set the current osabi.
So, revert the patch in preparation for a simpler solution.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Don't use gregset.h in *-tdep.c since it's not usable on

Similarly for the elf mips support.

Not just the undefined section has a NULL owner, the absolute section
has too. Which means we can't find output_bfd for __gp. Also, may as
well test directly for output_bfd == NULL.

The problem is that the test-case attempts to detect a change in the cb
variable caused by this initialization:
...
void
do_block_tests ()
{
int cb = 12;
...
but that only works if the stack location happens to be unequal to 12 before
the initialization.
Fix this by first initializing to 0, and then changing the value to 12:
...
- int cb = 12;
+ int cb = 0;
+ cb = 12;
...
and detecting that change.

"main" is redeclared with a different type in maint.c. I think this

wonder if this profiling code is actually useful at all any more, in
the meantime it's simple to fix the declaration.
