With current trunk and target board cc-with-debug-names we have:
...

size 1 vs. written as 28, ignoring .debug_names.^M

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-psym.exp: No complaints
...
The executable has 8 compilation units:
...
$ readelf -wi dw2-ranges-psym | grep @
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x0:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x2e:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0xa5:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0xc7:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0xd2:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x145:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x150:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x308:
...
of which the ones at 0xc7 and 0x145 are dummy CUs (that is, they do not
contain a single DIE), which were added by recent commit 5ef670d81fd
"[gdb/testsuite] Add dummy start and end CUs in dwarf assembly".
The .debug_names section contains this CU table:
...
[ 0] 0x0
[ 1] 0x2e
[ 2] 0xa5
[ 3] 0xd2
[ 4] 0x150
[ 5] 0x308
[ 6] 0x1
[ 7] 0x0
...
The last two entries are incorrect, and the entries for the dummy CUs are
missing.
The last two entries are incorrect because here in write_debug_names we write
the dimension of the CU list as 8:
...
/* comp_unit_count - The number of CUs in the CU list. */
header.append_uint (4, dwarf5_byte_order,
per_objfile->per_bfd->all_comp_units.size ()
- per_objfile->per_bfd->tu_stats.nr_tus);
...
while the actual dimension of the CU list is 6.
The discrepancy is caused by this code which skips the dummy CUs:
...
for (int i = 0; i < per_objfile->per_bfd->all_comp_units.size (); ++i)
{
...
/* CU of a shared file from 'dwz -m' may be unused by this main
file. It may be referenced from a local scope but in such
case it does not need to be present in .debug_names. */
if (psymtab == NULL)
continue;
...
because they have a null partial symtab.
We can fix this by writing the actual dimension of the CU list, but that still
leaves the dummy CUs out of the CU list. The purpose of having these is to
delimit the end of preceding CUs.
So, fix this by:
- removing the code that skips the dummy CUs (note that the same change
was done for .gdb_index in commit efba5c2319d '[gdb/symtab] Handle PU
without import in "save gdb-index"'.
- verifying that all units are represented in the CU/TU lists
- using the actual CU list size when writing the dimension of the CU list
(and likewise for the TU list).

This probably should have been ported long ago, but better late than
never. We keep support for both versions for now since both projects
tend to have long lifetimes. Maybe consider dropping SDL1 in another
ten years.
When running gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp I noticed that the test name

With a gdb build with --enable-targets=all we run into a KFAIL:
...
KFAIL: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: executable loaded: maintenance selftest, \
failed none (PRMS: gdb/27891)
...
due to:
...
Running selftest print_one_insn.^M
Self test failed: arch armv8.1-m.main: self-test failed at \
disasm-selftests.c:165^M
...
The test fails because we expect disassembling of one arm insn to consume 4
bytes and produce (using verbose = true in disasm-selftests.c):
...
arm mov r0, #0
...
but instead the disassembler uses thumb mode and only consumes 2
bytes and produces:
...
arm movs r0, r0
...
The failure does not show up in the "no executable loaded" variant because
this code in gdb_print_insn_arm isn't triggered:
...
if (current_program_space->exec_bfd () != NULL)
info->flags |= USER_SPECIFIED_MACHINE_TYPE;
...
and consequently we do this in print_insn:
...
if ((info->flags & USER_SPECIFIED_MACHINE_TYPE) == 0)
info->mach = bfd_mach_arm_unknown;
...
and don't set force_thumb to true in select_arm_features.
The code in gdb_print_insn_arm makes the assumption that the disassembly
architecture matches the exec architecture, which in this case is incorrect,
because the exec architecture is x86_64, and the disassembly architecture is
armv8.1-m.main. Fix that by explicitly checking it:
...
if (current_program_space->exec_bfd () != NULL
&& (current_program_space->exec_bfd ()->arch_info
== gdbarch_bfd_arch_info (gdbarch)))
...
This fixes the print_one_insn failure, so remove the KFAIL.

Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27891
With a gdb build with --enable-targets=all, we have 2 arch-specific failures
in selftest print_one_insn:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex "maint selftest print_one_insn" 2>&1 \

...
During the first failed test, force_thumb is set to true, and remains so until
and during the second test, which causes the second failure.
Fix this by resetting force_thumb to false in parse_arm_disassembler_options,
such that we get just one failure:
...

A build without Python will currently fail, because
selftests::test_python uses gdb_python_initialized, which is only
conditionally defined.
This patch fixes the build by making test_python also be conditionally
defined. I chose this approach because the selftest will fail if
Python is not enabled, so it didn't seem useful to leave it defined.
Since the 0x57 is preserved for the vadd.vv instruction in the integration

#8 main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/gdb.c:32^M

which means that this regexp in proc test_with_self fails:
...
-re "#0.*(read|poll).*in main \\(.*\\) at .*gdb\\.c.*$gdb_prompt $" {
...
The problem is that gdb_main has been inlined into main, and consequently the
backtrace uses:

...
instead of
...
#x <address> in <fn> ...
...
Fix this by updating the regexp to not require "in" before " main".

When running test-case gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp for native, it passes.
But with target board cc-with-debug-names, we run into (added missing double
quotes for clarity):
...
builtin_spawn $build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdb -nw -nx \
-data-directory $build/gdb/testsuite/../data-directory \
-iex "set height 0" -iex "set width 0" -ex "set sysroot" -batch ""^M

: No such file or directory\.: [lindex $result 2] == 0
FAIL: gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp: \
: No such file or directory\.: [lindex $result 3] == $expect_status
...
The difference between the passing and failing case is that with native we
have (leaving out set height/width for brevity):
...
$ gdb -batch ""; echo $?
: No such file or directory.
1
...
and with target board cc-with-debug-names:
...
$ gdb -ex "set sysroot" -batch ""; echo $?
: No such file or directory.
0
...
The difference is expected. GDB returns the exit status of the last executed
command. In the former case that's 'file ""', which fails. In the latter case,
that's 'set sysroot', which succeeds.
Fix this by setting sysroot using -iex instead of -ex in local-board.exp, such
that we have the expected:
...
$ gdb -iex "set sysroot" -batch ""; echo $?
: No such file or directory.
1

It's unclear why -H was picked over the more standard -h, but since

The documentation of mi_gdb_test states that the command, pattern and message
arguments are mandatory:
...
# mi_gdb_test COMMAND PATTERN MESSAGE [IPATTERN] -- send a command to gdb;
# test the result.
...
However, this is not checked, and when mi_gdb_test is called with less than 3
arguments, it passes or fails silently.
Fix this by using the following semantics:
- if there are 1 or 2 arguments, use the command as the message.
- if there is 1 argument, use ".*" as the pattern.
- if there are no or too much arguments, error out.

A regexp pattern with escapes like this is hard to read:
...
set re "~\"\[$\]$decimal = 1\\\\n\"\r\n\\^done"
...
We can make it more readable by spacing out parts (which allows us to also use
the curly braces where that's convenient):
...
set re [list "~" {"} {[$]} $decimal " = 1" "\\\\" "n" {"} "\r\n" "\\^" "done"]
set re [join $re ""]
...
or by using string_to_regexp:
...
set re [list \
[string_to_regexp {~"$}] \
$decimal \
[string_to_regexp " = 1\\n\"\r\n^done"]]
set re [join $re ""]
...
Note: we have to avoid applying string_to_list to decimal, which is already a
regexp.
Add a proc string_list_to_regexp to make it easy to do both:
...
set re [list \
[string_list_to_regexp ~ {"} $] \
$decimal \
[string_list_to_regexp " = 1" \\ n {"} \r\n ^ done]]
...
Also add a test-case gdb.testsuite/string_to_regexp.exp.

...

due to function f2 instead of f3 being listed.
AFAICT, this is caused by a difference in debug info:

<152> DW_AT_name : f1
...
and the command documentation does not mention an imposed order, so fix this
by allowing f2 as well.
Doing this fix, it made sense to do a refactoring of adding f2_re and f3_re
variables, in order to write (?:$f2_re|$f3_re), and I applied the same pattern
overall.
Furthermore, I found a silent FAIL due to calling mi_gdb_proc with 2 args, fix

Python 2 has a bit flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER which can be passed as
part of the tp_flags field when defining a new object type. This flag
is not defined in Python 3 and so we define it to 0 in
python-internal.h (when IS_PY3K is defined).
The meaning of this flag is that the object has the fields tp_iter and
tp_iternext. Note the use of "has" here, the flag says nothing about
the values in those fields, just that the type object has the fields.
In early versions of Python 2 these fields were no part of the
PyTypeObject struct, they were added in version 2.2 (see
https://docs.python.org/release/2.3/api/type-structs.html). And so,
there could be a some code compiled out there which has a PyTypeObject
structure within it that doesn't even have the tp_iter and tp_iternext
fields, attempting to access these fields would be undefined
behaviour.
And so Python added the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER flag. If the flag is
present then Python is free to access the tp_iter and tp_iternext
fields.
If we consider GDB then we always assume that the tp_iter and
tp_iternext fields are part of PyTypeObject. If someone was crazy
enough to try and compile GDB against Python 2.1 then we'd get lots of
build errors saying that we were passing too many fields when
initializing PyTypeObject structures. And so, I claim, we can be sure
that GDB will always be compiled with a version of Python that has the
tp_iter and tp_iternext fields in PyTypeObject.
Next we can look at the Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT flag. In Python 2, each
time additional fields are added to PyTypeObject a new Py_TPFLAGS_*
flag would be defined to indicate whether those flags are present or
not. And, those new flags would be added to Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT. And
so, in the latest version of Python 2 the Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT flag
includes Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER (see
https://docs.python.org/2.7/c-api/typeobj.html).
In GDB we pass Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT as part of the tp_flags for all
objects we define.
And so, in this commit, I propose to remove all uses of
Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER from GDB, it's simply not needed.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Many GNU tools accept -EB/-EL as short options for selecting big &
little endian modes. While the sim has an -E option, it requires
spelling out "big" and "little". Adding support for -EB & -EL is
thus quite trivial, so lets round it out to be less annoying.
Only the ppc arch supports this kind of source file override logic.
All the others expose knobs via configure flags, and for some of
these, the ppc code does as well. For others, it doesn't make sense
to ever change them. Since it's unlikely anyone is using this, drop
it all to simplify the code (and to get us a little closer to the
common sim code).
We use these older names inconsistently in the sim codebase, and time
has moved on long ago, so drop support for these non-standard names.
POSIX provides O_NONBLOCK for us, so use it everywhere.
We have enough functionality from gnulib now to build sockser on
all platforms.
Non-blocking I/O is supported when F_GETFL/F_SETFL are unavailable,
but we can address that in a follow up commit. This mirrors what
is done in other places in the sim already.
The cgen framework provides a "VOID" type for code to use, but this
defines ends up conflicting with the standard Windows VOID define.
Since they actually define to the same thing ("void"), undef it here
to fix the Windows build.
We might want to reconsider the need for "VOID" in cgen, but that
will take larger discussion & coordination with the cgen project.
The sim-main.h header is a bit of a dumping ground. Every arch can
(and many do) define all sorts of weird & common names that end up
conflicting with system headers. So including it before the system
headers sets us up for pain. v850 is a good example of this -- when
building for mingw, we see weird failures:

This is because v850 sets up this common name:
All of this needs cleaning up someday, but since the dv-sockser code
definitely should be fixed in this way, lets do that now and unblock
the v850 code.
It's unclear what this define is for as it appears to be unused, and
has never been used in the history of the mips sim. Delete it to tidy
up, and to fix build errors for Windows targets that have a standard
"PSIZE" struct in their system headers. This doesn't show up yet as
most sim files don't include many system headers, but enabling sockser
code for mingw uncovers the conflict.
Unfortunately the error produced by gcc is inscrutable, but running
it through the preprocessor manually manages to provide a pointer to
the underlying issue.

When compiling with --enable-werror and CFLAGS="-O0 -g -Wall", we run into:
...
src/sim/ppc/hw_memory.c: In function 'hw_memory_init_address':
src/sim/ppc/hw_memory.c:204:7: error: pointer targets in passing argument 4 \
of 'device_find_integer_array_property' differ in signedness \
[-Werror=pointer-sign]
&new_chunk->size);
^
...
Fix these by adding an explicit pointer cast. It's a bit ugly to use APIs
based on signed integers to read out unsigned values, but in practice, this
is par for the course in the ppc code.
We already use signed APIs and assign the result to unsigned values a lot:
see how device_find_integer_property returns a signed integer (cell), but
then assign it to unsigned types. The array APIs are not used that often
which is why we don't see many warnings, and we disable warnings when we
assign signed integers to unsigned integers in general.
The dtc/libfdt project (which is the standard in other projects) processes
the fdt blob as a series of bytes without any type information. Typing is
left to the caller. They have core APIs that read/write bytes, and a few
helper functions to cast/convert those bytes to the right value (e.g. u32).
In this ppc sim code, the core APIs use signed integers, and the callers
convert to unsigned, usually implicitly.
We could add some core APIs to the ppc sim that deal with raw bytes and then
add some helpers to convert to the right type, but that seems like a lot of
lifting for what boils down to a cast, and is effectively equivalent to all
the implicit assignments we use elsewhere. Long term, a lot of the ppc code
should either get converted to existing sim common code, or we should stand
up proper APIs in the common code first, or use standard libraries to do all
the processing (e.g. libfdt). Either way, this device.c code would all get
deleted, and callers (like these hw_*.c files) would get converted. Which
is also why we go with a cast rather new (but largely unused) APIs.
This aligns with common code which already uses this flag. We have
to add another local prototype to fix the failure, and add another
local decl for the SIM_DESC type. Unwinding these will require a
lot more work & conversions in the process, so going with the decl
for now unblocks the warning unification.
The basic "byte" type conflicts with Windows headers, and we already
have common types that provide the right sizes. So replace these with
the common ones to avoid issues.
