This changes the behaviour of @h and @ha on PowerPC64 to report errors
on 32-bit overflow. The motivation for this change is that on
PowerPC64, most uses of @h and @ha modifiers and their corresponding
relocations are to build up 32-bit offsets. We'd like to know when
such offsets overflow. Only rarely do people use @h or @ha with the
high 32-bit modifiers to build a 64-bit constant. Those uses will now
need to use two new modifiers, @high and @higha, if the constant isn't
known at assembly time. For now, we won't report overflow at assembly
time..
This also fixes an error when applying some of the HIGHER and HIGHEST
relocations.

There's no real need to emit these always: They're needed only if we
indeed want to emit a localized symbol. Hence defer emission until we
at least did the basic early checks that would lead to no such symbol
getting emitted. This in particular avoids emitting such a symbol in
the majority of (if not all) "ld -r" cases.
I hope my set of cross build tests caught all the test cases needing
adjustment - please forgive if I missed a few.

I tried to build gdb on the AIX machine in the GCC compile farm
(gcc111), but it failed in a couple of spots because gdb uses "reg" as
a variable name and the AIX <curses.h> defines "reg" to "register".
I saw that we already had a workaround for this lurking in utils.c, so
I just moved that to gdb_curses.h.
This fixed the problem on AIX and still builds on x86-64 Fedora 18.

In registry.c:registry_clear_data, the registered data is iterated and
invoke each 'free' function with the data passed:
for (registration = data_registry->registrations, i = 0;
i < fields->num_data;
registration = registration->next, i++)
if (fields->data[i] != NULL && registration->data->free != NULL)
adaptor (registration->data->free, container, fields->data[i]);
we can see that data is passed to function 'free' and data is not NULL.
In each usage, we don't have to get the data again through key and
do NULL pointer checking. This patch is to simplify them.

Now that all ecs->random_signal handing is always done before the

(handle_inferior_event): 'process_event_stop_test' is now a

We only ever call "goto process_event_stop_test;" right after checking
that ecs->random_signal is clear. The code at the
process_event_stop_test label looks like:
/* For the program's own signals, act according to
the signal handling tables. */
if (ecs->random_signal)
{
... random signal handling ...
return;
}
else
{
... the stop tests that actually matter for the goto callers.
}
So this moves the label into the else branch. It'll make converting
process_event_stop_test into a function a bit clearer.

I recently added a new ecs->random_signal test after the "switch back to
stepped thread" code, and before the stepping tests. Looking at
making process_event_stop_test a proper function, I realized it'd be
better to keep ecs->random_signal related code together. To do that,
I needed to factor out the "switch back to stepped thread" code to a new
function, and call it in both the "random signal" and "not random
signal" paths.

random signals just before the stepping tests.
'ecs' is always memset before being passed to handle_inferior_event.
The stop func is only filled in later in the flow. And since "Remove
dead sets/clears of ecs->random signal", nothing ever sets
ecs->random_signal before this part is reached either.
(Also tested with some added assertions in place.)

This is a follow-up series to move language stuff out of varobj.c.
This patch adds a new field la_varobj_ops in struct language_defn so
that each language has varobj-related options. Not every language
supports varobj, and the operations are identical to operations of c
languages.
'struct language_defn' is the ideal place to save all language-related
operations. After this patch, some cleanups can be done in patch 2/2,
which removes language-related stuff completely from varobj.c.

Some remote stubs do not have a proper exit() function implementation.
gdb.base/bang.exp was failing on those targets due to timeout. With
this patch bang.exp uses already defined library procedures to handle
this situation gracefully without breaking native targets.
Tested with x86_64 (unix, native-gdbserver) and with arc-*-elf32.

* gdb.base/bang.exp: Use gdb_continue_to_end to properly support
remote stubs where exit() behaviour is unreliable.
With:
struct static_struct { static int aaa; };
struct static_struct sss;
int main () { return 0; }
We get:
(gdb) p sss
$1 = {static aaa = <optimized out>}
(gdb) p sss.aaa
field aaa is nonexistent or has been optimized out
Note that the "field aaa ..." message is an error being thrown.
GDB is graceful everywhere else when printing optimized out values.
IOW it usually prints an <optimized out> value and puts that in the
value history. I see no reason for here to be different, more so that
when the print the whole "containing" object (well, it's a static
field, so it's not really a container), we already print <optimized
out>.
After the patch:
(gdb) p sss
$1 = {static aaa = <optimized out>}
(gdb) p sss.aaa
$2 = <optimized out>
The value_entirely_optimized_out checks are there to preserve
behavior. Without those, if the static field is a struct/union, GDB
would go and print its fields one by one (and print <optimized out>
for each).

This problem was introduced by this patch
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-04/msg00000.html), in
which get_traceframe_number is not checked before calling
traceframe_available_memory. This patch moves the check to
remote_traceframe_info, say, if GDB doesn't have traceframe selected, GDB
doesn't need to send qXfer:traceframe-info:read packets.
With this patch applied, there is no qXfer:traceframe-info:read sent
out and single step is speed up a little bit.

Occasionaly we hear about people having problems with GDB not being
able to start programs (with "run"/"start"). GDB spawns a shell to
start the program, and most often, it'll be the case that the problem
is actually with the user's shell setup.
GDB has code to disable the use of the shell to start programs.
That's the STARTUP_WITH_SHELL macro that native targets could set to 0
in their nm.h file (though no target actually uses it nowadays).
This patch makes that setting a run-time knob instead. This will be
useful to quickly diagnose such shell issues, and might also come in
handy at other times (such as when debugging the shell itself, if you
don't have a different shell handy).

The other day while debugging something related to random signals, I
got confused with "set debug infrun 1" output, for it said:
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal 20
On GNU/Linux, 20 is SIGTSTP. For some reason, it took me a few
minutes to realize that 20 is actually a GDB signal number, not a
target signal number (duh!). In any case, I propose making GDB's
output clearer here:
One way would be to use gdb_signal_to_name, like already used
elsewhere:
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal SIGCHLD (20)
but I think that might confuse someone too ("20? Why does GDB believe
SIGCHLD is 20?"). So I thought of printing the enum string instead:
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD (20)
Looking at a more complete infrun debug log, we had actually printed
the (POSIX) signal name name a bit before:
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 9300 [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 9300)],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = SIGCHLD
...
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal 20
So I'm now thinking that it'd be even better to make infrun output
consistently use the enum symbol string, like so:
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0x7ffff7fca700 (LWP 25663))
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659))

infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =

- infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = SIGCHLD
+ infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x400700
- infrun: random signal 20
+ infrun: random signal (GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD)
infrun: random signal, keep going

GDB's signal numbers are public and hardcoded (see
include/gdb/signals.h), so there's really no need to clutter the
output with numeric values in some places while others not. Replacing
the magic "144" with GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT in "proceed"'s debug output
(see above) I think is quite nice.
I posit that all this makes it clearer to newcomers that GDB has its
own signal numbering (and that there must be some mapping going on).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

In the first hunk, the format string was off-by-one for cmd, and cmd
itself was larger than the maximum size required. cmd was reduced in
size and the format string adjusted.
In the second hunk, the format string was off-by-one for local_address,
remote_address and extra, although the buffers for the two addresses
were large enough for this not to matter. The specifiers for the two
addresses was corrected, and a number of unused variables including
extra were suppressed from parsing.
In the third hunk, the format string was off-by-one for name,
dependencies and status. This code was rewritten using strtok since
dependencies can be arbitrarily long.

'*ecs' is always memset by handle_inferior_event's callers, so all
these clears are unnecessary. There's one place that sets the flag to
true, but, afterwards, before ecs->random_signal is ever read, we
reach the part of handle_inferior_even that clears ecs->random_signal,
among other things:
clear_stop_func (ecs);
ecs->event_thread->stepping_over_breakpoint = 0;
bpstat_clear (&ecs->event_thread->control.stop_bpstat);
ecs->event_thread->control.stop_step = 0;
stop_print_frame = 1;
ecs->random_signal = 0;
stopped_by_random_signal = 0;
So all these ecs->random_signal accesses are dead code.

* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event) <thread hop>: Don't clear or

This function still has comments referring back to when it was a goto

of its comments could use a facelift (contents/formatting/typos).
That's what this patch does.

* infrun.c (keep_going): Update comments.
I realized that remote.c is not validating input here. Currently, if
a remote stub sends in an invalid signal number (or put another way,
if a future stub sends a new signal an old GDB doesn't know about),
GDB will do out of bounds accesses in the
signal_pass/signal_stop/signal_program arrays. It'll probably be a
long while before we add another signal number (and buggy stubs should
just be fixed), but can't hurt to be defensive.

- The Mach exception/signals escaped the TARGET_ -> GDB_ prefix change
done a while ago, but there's no real reason for that. I grepped
for TARGET_EXC and fixed all found, which unsurprisingly, means
darwin-nat.c needed fixing. I think the change there is as obvious
and trivial as it can get, so I'd be quite surprised if this broke
anything there somehow.
- GDB_SIGNAL_LAST's description string was unnecessarily inconsistent
with the enum name.
