gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog
2019-10-31 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* gdb.base/setshow.exp: Test $_gdb_setting and $_gdb_setting_str.
* gdb.base/settings.exp: Test all settings types using
$_gdb_maint_setting and $_gdb_maint_setting_str in proc_show_setting,
that now verifies that the value of "maint show" is the same as
returned by the settings functions. Test the type of the
maintenance settings.
* gdb.base/default.exp: Update show_conv_list.
The new convenience functions $_gdb_setting and $_gdb_setting_str
provide access to the GDB settings in user-defined commands.
Similarly, $_gdb_maint_setting and $_gdb_maint_setting_str
provide access to the GDB maintenance settings.
The patch was developed following a comment of Eli about the
'set may-call-functions'. Eli said that user-defined functions
should have a way to change their behavior according to this setting.
Rather than have a specialized $_may_call_functions, this patch
implements a general way to access any GDB setting.
Compared to doing such access via Python 'gdb.parameter' and/or
'gdb.execute("set somesetting tosomevalue"):
* The 'with' command is much better than the above python usage:
if the user types C-c or an error happens between the set pagination off
and the python "set pagination on", the above python
does not restore the original setting.
* Effectively, with the "gdb.parameter" python one liner, it is possible to do
simple 'if' conditions, such as set and restore pagination.
But mixing the "python if" within canned
sequence of commands is cumbersome for non trivial combinations.
E.g. if several commands have to be done for a certain condition
accessed from python, I guess something like will be needed:
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some command")
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some other command")
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some different command")
(without speaking about nested "if-s").
With the convenience function:
if $_gdb_setting("some_setting")
some command
some other command
some different command
end
Integer settings (for example print elements) will also be more difficult
to use.
For example, a user defined function that scans and prints a linked list
might want to use the value of "set print elements" to stop printing
the linked list.
Doing that by mixing python expression/if is likely doable, but seems
not easy with the above one liners.
So, in summary, the $_gdb_setting and $_gdb_setting_str avoids to have the
heterogeneous mix of python and GDB commands in one single script
(and of course, it works even if python is not configured, but that
must be an unusual setup I guess).

Since safe_strerror is in gdbsupport, gdbserver also needs to
check for strerror_r, although it's less critical since gdbserver
does not use threads as much.

Also stores the result in a thread-local static variable and
changes the return value to a const char*.
This is already important because Guile creates threads and
Python can create threads, but with the patch series here:
https://gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io/r/c/binutils-gdb/+/176
GDB itself will create threads, too.

Based on feedback from Tromey, update the use of objfile_key in gdb/arm-tdep.c

If the extension is not found in the context sensitive table, the legacy

Armv8.1-M as it enables the use of '.arch_extension' with the 'mve' and

Proc gdb_test_multiple builds up and executes a gdb_expect expression with
pattern/action clauses. The clauses are either implicit (added by
gdb_test_multiple) or explicit (passed via the gdb_test_multiple parameter
user_code).
However, there are a few implicit clauses which are inserted before the
explicit ones, making sure those take precedence.
Add an -early pattern flag for a gdb_test_multiple user_code clause to specify
that the clause needs to be inserted before any implicit clause.
Using this pattern flag, we can f.i. setup a kfail for an assertion failure
<assert> during gdb_continue_to_breakpoint by the rewrite:
...
gdb_continue_to_breakpoint <msg> <pattern>
...
into:
...
set breakpoint_pattern "(?:Breakpoint|Temporary breakpoint) .* (at|in)"
gdb_test_multiple "continue" "continue to breakpoint: <msg>" {
-early -re "internal-error: <assert>" {
setup_kfail gdb/nnnnn "*-*-*"
exp_continue
}
-re "$breakpoint_pattern <pattern>\r\n$gdb_prompt $" {
pass $gdb_test_name
}
}
Tested on x86_64-linux.

The array starts out initialized to zero:

This is a shorthand for the immediate argument being 0, as described here:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/ddi0596/latest/base-instructions-alphabetic-order/ldraa-ldrab-load-register-with-pointer-authentication
This is because the instructions still have a use with an immediate
argument of 0, unlike loads without the PAC functionality. Currently,
the mnemonics are
LDRAA Xt, [Xn, #<simm10>]!
LDRAB Xt, [Xn, #<simm10>]!
After this patch they become
LDRAA Xt, [Xn {, #<simm10>}]!
LDRAB Xt, [Xn {, #<simm10>}]!

Prior to changing the logic in the assembler install tests to make sure
the present defaulting of operand sizes won't get broken. There are a
few anomalies pointed out by this:
- arithmetic insns (add, sub, etc) allow defaulting when their immediate
fits in (signed) 8 bits, but they fail to assemble with larger values,
- mov, other than arithmetic insns, doesn't allow any defaulting,
- movsx/movzx default to byte sources (in AT&T mode), and their special
casing needs to be adjusted first
- bt and friends allow defaulting, while shl and friends don't,
- ambiguous AVX and AVX512 insns don't allow defaulting.
This should ultimately all become consistent (perhaps with the exception
some of the SIMD insns); respective tests will be added to the test
cases here as the issues get addressed.
Now that the opcode table gets preprocessed, undo parts of commit
dc821c5f9a ("x86: replace Reg8, Reg16, Reg32, and Reg64"): Have the
preprocessor handle the expansion there, while making the expansions
explicit in i386-gen and the register table.
The flag is used to indicate opcodes which can be switched between byte
and word/dword/qword forms (in a "canonical" way). Obviously it's quite
odd then to see it on insns not allowing for byte operands in the first
place. As a result the opcode bytes need to be adjusted accordingly,
which includes comparisons done in optimize_encoding().
To make re-introduction of such issues less likely have i386-gen
diagnose it (in a generally non-fatal way for now).
This patch cleans up ada-lang.h:
- Some functions just don't exist anymore, remove their declaration
- Some functions are implemented in ada-lang.c and only used there, make
them static to that file.
I moved some functions higher in the file to avoid having to
forward-declare them, but the implementations are unchanged.

Just some code cleanup. This change has a few benefits:
- Shorter argument list in the functions
- If the caller needs to calculate the string, they no longer
need to explicitly call strlen
- It is easy to pass std::string to this (done in one place
currently)
This also updates a couple of places that were passing 0/1 to
a bool parameter.

As of 7bb4305982, we no longer need
a nullterminated linkage_name to look up the entry in the hash table.
So this patch makes it so we only make the copy if the entry was
not found.
By auditing all callers of symbol_set_names, I found out that all cases
where the string may not be nullterminated already pass true for COPY_NAME.
So here, I am documenting that as a requirement and am removing the code
that relies on undefined behavior in symbol_set_names (it accessed the string
past the provided length to check for nulltermination). Note that the Ada
case at the beginning of symbol_set_names was already relying on this.

Adds a configure option --with-system-gdbinit-dir to specify a directory

loaded on startup (subject to -n/-nx as usual) as long as the extension

These can be generated when multiple cfi directives are emitted for an

happens when listings are enabled. No doubt the advance_loc of zero
could be avoided by backtracking over frags in dw2gencfi.c before
calling cfi_add_advance_loc, but that seems like more work than
cleaning up afterwards as this patch does.
