For this:

./ld-new: cannot find -lstarlet: No such file or directory
./ld-new: cannot find -lsys$public_vectors: No such file or directory
the logs showed
creating dummy tmpdir/libimagelib:

So rubbish instead of tmpdir/libimagelib.a and the other required libs.

The opening and closing node in BFD starts:
File: bfd.info, [...]
/* Set to N to open the next N BFDs using an alternate id space. */
extern unsigned int bfd_use_reserved_id;
2.13 Opening and closing BFDs
=============================
That is, there's a stray C comment and declaration before any other
text or subsections.
This occurs because the code fragment for bfd_use_reserved_id comes
before the SECTION comment. Hoisting it makes this a little nicer.

* opncls.c: Hoist the SECTION comment.
I found a few static functions in the BFD manual. These can't be
called by any user of the library, so I don't think it's useful to put
them in the manual. This patch removes the chew markup from their
comments.

Currently, if a function description spans a line, the resulting info
can look like this:
-- Function: long bfd_canonicalize_reloc
(bfd *abfd, asection *sec, arelent **loc, asymbol **syms); Call the
back end associated with the open BFD ABFD and translate the
external form of the relocation information attached to SEC into
the internal canonical form. Place the table into memory at LOC,
That is, the function prototype runs together with the text in an ugly
way. This patch fixes this by introducing a new primitive, so that
the generated Texinfo can be a bit nicer. Now this output looks like:
-- Function: long bfd_canonicalize_reloc (bfd *abfd, asection *sec,
arelent **loc, asymbol **syms);
Call the back end associated with the open BFD ABFD and translate
the external form of the relocation information attached to SEC

The regexp in "noinit sections (ld -r)" is skipping the file path before
the first ":". However, on Windows, a path can start with "C:". Adjust
the regexp to allow such cases.
ld/ChangeLog:
* testsuite/ld-elf/noinit-sections-2.l: Allow Windows paths
(starting with C:).
In some tests, the path reported on Windows will have a \ instead of a
/. This occurs when a file is concatened with the search path in
ldfile.c.: "ld -Ltmpdir -ltext" will result into "tmpdir\libtext.a".
ld/ChangeLog:
* testsuite/ld-elf/retain5.map: Allow \ path separator.

I noticed two inconsistencies in the GDB/MI documentation, which this
commit addresses:
1. Each MI command is introduced like this:
@subheading The @code{-command-name} Command
Except for a few of the tracing command, which just use:
@subheading -command-name
In this commit I've updated all these trace commands to use the
more common format.
2. Each MI command starts with a @subheading, and then the details
of that command are split up using multiple @subsubheading
entries.
Except for a few commands which use @subheading for the top-level
command, and then continue to use @subheading for each part of
the command description.
In this commit I've updated these to use @subsubheading where
appropriate.
Currently we only trust epilogue unwind info only for gcc >= 4.5.0.
This has the effect that we don't trust epilogue unwind info for:
- unknown producers (CU without DW_AT_producer attribute)
- non-gcc producers (say, clang).
Instead, only distrust epilogue unwind info only for gcc < 4.5.0.
For a -g0 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables exec (without .debug_info but with
.eh_frame section), start using the dwarf2 unwinder instead of the
"amd64 epilogue override" unwinder, by returning true in
compunit_epilogue_unwind_valid for cust == nullptr.
This has effect both on the amd64 and i386 targets, but only add amd64
test-case gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn-amd64-2.exp.
For amd64 the current frame-unwinders are:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex "set arch i386:x86-64" -ex "maint info frame-unwinders"
The target architecture is set to "i386:x86-64".
dummy DUMMY_FRAME
dwarf2 tailcall TAILCALL_FRAME
inline INLINE_FRAME
python NORMAL_FRAME
amd64 epilogue NORMAL_FRAME
dwarf2 NORMAL_FRAME
dwarf2 signal SIGTRAMP_FRAME
amd64 sigtramp SIGTRAMP_FRAME
amd64 prologue NORMAL_FRAME
...
For a -g0 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables exec (without .debug_info but with
.eh_frame section), we'd like to start using the dwarf2 unwinder instead of
the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder, by returning true in
compunit_epilogue_unwind_valid for cust == nullptr.
But we'd run into the following problem for a -g0
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables (without .debug_info and .eh_frame section)
exec:
- the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder would not run
(because compunit_epilogue_unwind_valid () == true)
- the dwarf2 unwinder would also not run
(because there's no .eh_frame info).
Fix this by:
- renaming the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder to "amd64 epilogue override", and
- adding a fallback "amd64 epilogue" after the dwarf unwinders,
while making sure that only one of the two is active. Likewise for i386. NFC.
For amd64, this results in this change:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex "set arch i386:x86-64" -ex "maint info frame-unwinders"
The target architecture is set to "i386:x86-64".

+amd64 epilogue override NORMAL_FRAME
dwarf2 NORMAL_FRAME
dwarf2 signal SIGTRAMP_FRAME
+amd64 epilogue NORMAL_FRAME
amd64 sigtramp SIGTRAMP_FRAME
amd64 prologue NORMAL_FRAME
...
And for i386:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex "set arch i386" -ex "maint info frame-unwinders"
The target architecture is set to "i386".
dummy DUMMY_FRAME
dwarf2 tailcall TAILCALL_FRAME

The use of compunit_epilogue_unwind_valid in both amd64_stack_frame_destroyed_p
and i386_stack_frame_destroyed_p is problematic, in the sense that the
functions no longer match their documented behaviour.
Fix this by moving the use of compunit_epilogue_unwind_valid to
amd64_epilogue_frame_sniffer and i386_epilogue_frame_sniffer. No functional
changes.
Factor out compunit_epilogue_unwind_valid from both
amd64_stack_frame_destroyed_p and i386_stack_frame_destroyed_p. No functional
changes.
Also add a comment in the new function about the assumption that in absence of
producer information, epilogue unwind info is invalid.

I came across:
...
gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-record-btrace.exp: prepare record: stepi 100
python insn = r.instruction_history^M

I'm assuming it's the same root cause as for the already present XFAIL.
Fix this by recognizing above warning in the xfail regexp.
Tested on x86_64-linux, although sofar I was not able to trigger the warning
again.

Since commit 9af467b8240 ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.threads/schedlock.exp on
fast cpu"), the test-case fails for gcc 4.8.5.
The problem is that for gcc 4.8.5, the commit turned a two-line loop:
...
(gdb) next
78 while (*myp > 0)
(gdb) next
81 MAYBE_CALL_SOME_FUNCTION(); (*myp) ++;
(gdb) next
78 while (*myp > 0)
...
into a three-line loop:
...
(gdb) next
83 MAYBE_CALL_SOME_FUNCTION(); (*myp) ++;
(gdb) next
84 cnt++;
(gdb) next
85 }
(gdb) next
83 MAYBE_CALL_SOME_FUNCTION(); (*myp) ++;
(gdb)
...
and the test-case doesn't expect this.
Fix this by reverting back to the original loop shape as much as possible by:
- removing the cnt++ line
- replacing "while (1)" with "while (one)", where one is a volatile variable
set to 1.
Tested on x86_64-linux, using compilers:
- gcc 4.8.5, 7.5.0, 12.2.1
- clang 4.0.1, 13.0.1
alpha-linuxecoff has compressed archives that are decompressed to a
bfd-in-memory. We'd need to handle quite a lot of corner cases to
support nesting of such archives, so just stop it before we run into
segfaults later.
* opncls.c (_bfd_new_bfd_contained_in): Prohibit nested
archives in memory.
mdebugread.c allocates blocks on the heap. However, this is a memory
leak if the corresponding objfile is ever destroyed.
This patch changes this code to use allocate_block instead, fixing a
FIXME from 2003.
I don't know how to test this patch.
This changes the block_iterator to store the 'name' that is used by
block_iter_match_next. This avoids any problem where the name could
be passed inconsistently, and also makes the subsequent patches easier
to understand.
This converts block_static_block and block_global_block to be methods.
This was mostly written by script. It was simpler to convert them at
the same time because they're often used near each other.
This converts block_scope, block_set_scope, block_using, and
block_set_using to be methods. These are all done at once to make it
easier to also convert block_initialize_namespace at the same time.
This was mostly written by script.
block_set_scope and block_set_using unconditionally allocate the block
namespace object. However, this isn't truly needed, so arrange to
only allocate when it is.
