Ever since the generator-style _next iterators were introduced, there
have been separate implementations of the functional-style _iter
iterators that do the same thing as _next.
This is annoying and adds more dependencies on the internal guts of the
file format. Rip them all out and replace them with the corresponding
_next iterators. Only ctf_archive_raw_iter and ctf_label_iter survive,
the former because there is no access to the raw binary data of archives
via any _next iterator, and the latter because ctf_label_next hasn't
been implemented (because labels are currently not used for anything).
Tested by reverting the change (already applied) that reimplemented
ctf_member_iter in terms of ctf_member_next, then verifying that the
_iter and _next iterators produced the same results for every iterable
entity within a large type archive.

The top level of CTF containers is a "CTF archive", which contains a
collection of named members (each a CTF dictionary). In the serialized
file format, this is optional and skipped if the archive would have only
one member, as when no ambiguous types are present: so it is commonplace
to have a simple ctf_dict_t written out, with no archive container
wrapped around it.
But, unlike ctf_archive_iter, ctf_archive_next didn't quite handle this
case right. It should set the name of this fake "member" to
_CTF_SECTION, i.e. ".ctf", but it was failing to do so, so callers got
an unintialized variable back instead and were understandably confused.
So set the name properly.

If a weak reference to a __start_foo or __stop_foo symbol ends up
having no definition due to all the foo sections being removed for
some reason, undef_start_stop currently makes the symbol strong
undefined. That risks a linker undefined symbol error. Fix that by
making the symbol undefweak and also undo some dynamic symbol state.
Note that saving the state of the symbol type at the time
lang_init_start_stop runs is not sufficient. The linker may have
merged in a shared library reference by that point and made what was
an undefweak in regular objects, a strong undefined. So it is
necessary to look at the ELF symbol flags to decide whether an
undefweak is the proper resolution.
Something probably should be done for COFF/PE too, but I'm unsure how
to do go about that.

While the configure script was checking for a bunch of headers, only
one of them was conditionally included in the source (unistd.h). The
rest were always included. Based on those usage this whole time, we
can reasonably assume that the build also has unistd.h.
All the other files including config.h never actually used any defines
from the header.
Rather than require $AR be set and then default to `ar`, use the
standard AC_CHECK_TOOL helper to find a good prefixed tool. In
practice this shouldn't change much as we seem to have macros in
the tree that were already setting it up, but we shouldn't rely
on that implicitly.
All the scripts were using this implicitly already, so there's no real
change for them, but we want to call it explicitly as the CPP tool is
used to generate nltvals.def.
We don't need a variable to add a dependency to the "all" target, and
having one doesn't really add value. Switch to the target directly for
the few ports that actually use this.
As reported in gdb/27393, the 'directory' and 'set directories' commands
fail when parsing an empty dir name:
(gdb) set directories ""
/home/lsix/dev/gnu/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/pathstuff.cc:132: internal-error: gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> gdb_abspath(const char*): Assertion `path != NULL && path[0] != '\0'' failed.

This patch fixes this issue by ignoring any attempt to add an empty
name to the source directories list. 'set dir ""' will reset the
directories list the same way 'set dir' would do it.
Tested on x86_64.
I noticed an oddity in skip_ctf_tests -- for me it ends up caching the
string "!0", because it ends with 'return ![...]'. In Tcl, this is
just string concatenation.
The result works because the users of this function have unbraced if
conditions, like:
if [skip_ctf_tests] {
... which works because "if" re-parses the returned string as an
expression, and evaluates that.
There's only a latent bug here, but this is also un-idiomatic, so I am
checking in this patch to fix it. This way, if someone in the future
uses a braced condition (which is what I normally recommend), it will
continue to work.

As reported in PR 26861, when killing an inferior on macOS, we hit the
assert:
../../gdb-10.1/gdb/target.c:2149: internal-error: void target_mourn_inferior(ptid_t): Assertion `ptid == inferior_ptid' failed.
This is because darwin_nat_target::kill passes a pid-only ptid to
target_mourn_inferior, with the pid of the current inferior:
target_mourn_inferior (ptid_t (inf->pid));
... which doesn't satisfy the assert in target_mourn_inferior:
gdb_assert (ptid == inferior_ptid);
The reason for this assertion is that target_mourn_inferior is a
prototype shared between GDB and GDBserver, so that shared code in
gdb/nat (used in both GDB and GDBserver) can call target_mourn_inferior.
In GDB's implementation, it is likely that some targets still rely on
inferior_ptid being set to "the current thread we are working on". So
until targets are completely decoupled from inferior_ptid (at least
their mourn_inferior implementations), we need to ensure the passed in
ptid matches inferior_ptid, to ensure the calling code called
target_mourn_inferior with the right global context.
However, I think the assert is a bit too restrictive. The
mourn_inferior operation works on an inferior, not a specific thread.
And by the time we call mourn_inferior, the threads of the inferior
don't exist anymore, the process is gone, so it doesn't really make
sense to require inferior_ptid to point a specific thread.
I looked at all the target_ops::mourn_inferior implementations, those
that read inferior_ptid only care about the pid field, which supports
the idea that only the inferior matters. Other implementations look at
the current inferior (call `current_inferior ()`).
I think it would make sense to change target_mourn_inferior to accept
only a pid rather than a ptid. It would then assert that the pid is the
same as the current inferior's pid. However, this would be a quite
involved change, so I'll keep it for later.
To fix the macOS issue immediately, I propose to relax the assert to
only compare the pids, as is done in this patch.
Another solution would obviously be to make darwin_nat_target::kill pass
inferior_ptid to target_mourn_inferior. However, the solution I propose
is more in line with where I think we want to go (passing a pid to
target_mourn_inferior).

This change fixes the initial state of the main thread of remote
targets which have no concept of threading. Such targets are
treated as single-threaded by gdb, and this single thread needs
to be initially set to the "resumed" state, in the same manner as
threads in thread-aware remote targets (see remote.c,
remote_target::remote_add_thread).
Without this fix, the following assert was triggered on thread-
unaware remote targets:
remote_target::select_thread_for_ambiguous_stop_reply(const target_waitstatus*): Assertion `first_resumed_thread != nullptr' failed.
The bug can be reproduced using gdbserver
* by disabling packets 'T' and 'qThreadInfo', or
* by disabling all thread-related packets.
The test suite has been updated to include these two scenarios, see
gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp.

When attempting to call a Fortran function for which there is no debug
information we currently trigger undefined behaviour in GDB by
accessing non-existent type fields.
The reason is that in order to prepare the arguments, for a call to a
Fortran function, we need to know the type of each argument. If the
function being called has no debug information then obviously GDB
doesn't know about the argument types and we should either give the
user an error or pick a suitable default. What we currently do is
just assume the field exist and access undefined memory, which is
clearly wrong.
The reason GDB needs to know the argument type is to tell if the
argument is artificial or not, artificial arguments will be passed by
value while non-artificial arguments will be passed by reference.
An ideal solution for this problem would be to allow the user to cast
the function to the correct type, we already do this to some degree
with the return value, for example:
(gdb) print some_func_ ()
'some_func_' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) print (integer) some_func_ ()
$1 = 1
But if we could extend this to allow casting to the full function
type, GDB could figure out from the signature what are real
parameters, and what are artificial parameters. Maybe something like
this:
(gdb) print ((integer () (integer, double)) some_other_func_ (1, 2.3)
Alas, right now the Fortran expression parser doesn't seem to support
parsing function signatures, and we certainly don't have support for
figuring out real vs artificial arguments from a signature.
Still, I think we can prevent GDB from accessing undefined memory and
provide a reasonable default behaviour.
In this commit I:
- Only ask if the argument is artificial if the type of the argument
is actually known.
- Unknown arguments are assumed to be artificial and passed by
value (non-artificial arguments are pass by reference).
- If an artificial argument is prefixed with '&' by the user then we
treat the argument as pass-by-reference.
With these three changes we avoid undefined behaviour in GDB, and
allow the user, in most cases, to get a reasonably natural default
behaviour.

expression evaluator. The ASSOCIATED builtin takes one or two
arguments.
When passed a single pointer argument GDB returns a boolean indicating
if the pointer is associated with anything.
When passed two arguments the second argument should either be some a
pointer could point at or a second pointer.
If the second argument is a pointer target, then the result from
associated indicates if the pointer is pointing at this target.
