This turns many functions that are related to optimized-out or
availability-checking to be methods of value. The static function
value_entirely_covered_by_range_vector is also converted to be a

The previous patch hard-coded SECT_OFF_TEXT into the buildsym code.
After this, it's clear that there is only one caller of
compunit_symtab::set_block_line_section, and it always passes
SECT_OFF_TEXT. So, remove compunit_symtab::m_block_line_section and
use SECT_OFF_TEXT instead.
On PPC, we saw that calling an inferior function could sometimes
change the current language, because gdb would select the call dummy
frame -- associated with _start.
This patch changes gdb so that the current language is never affected
by DWARF property evaluation.
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
Currently, a non-trivial return value from a function cannot currently be
reliably determined on PowerPC. This is due to the fact that the PowerPC
ABI uses register r3 to store the address of the buffer containing the
non-trivial return value when the function is called. The PowerPC ABI
does not guarantee the value in register r3 is not modified in the
function. Thus the value in r3 cannot be reliably used to obtain the
return addreses on exit from the function.
This patch adds a new gdbarch method to allow PowerPC to access the value
of r3 on entry to a function. On PowerPC, the new gdbarch method attempts
to use the DW_OP_entry_value for the DWARF entries, when exiting the
function, to determine the value of r3 on entry to the function. This
requires the use of the -fvar-tracking compiler option to compile the
user application thus generating the DW_OP_entry_value in the binary. The
DW_OP_entry_value entries in the binary file allows GDB to resolve the
DW_TAG_call_site entries. This new gdbarch method is used to get the
return buffer address, in the case of a function returning a nontrivial
data type, on exit from the function. The GDB function should_stop checks
to see if RETURN_BUF is non-zero. By default, RETURN_BUF will be set to
zero by the new gdbarch method call for all architectures except PowerPC.
The get_return_value function will be used to obtain the return value on
all other architectures as is currently being done if RETURN_BUF is zero.
On PowerPC, the new gdbarch method will return a nonzero address in
RETURN_BUF if the value can be determined. The value_at function uses the
return buffer address to get the return value.
This patch fixes five testcase failures in gdb.cp/non-trivial-retval.exp.
The correct function return values are now reported.
Note this patch is dependent on patch: "PowerPC, function
ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value add missing return value convention".
This patch has been tested on Power 10 and x86-64 with no regressions.
Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__
explicitly, like:
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var);
The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably
because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros
availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we
already use them in several places, including the related
gdb_assert_not_reached.
So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else,
and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands
__FILE__/__LINE__ itself.
The result is that we now should call internal_error like so:
internal_error ("foo %d", var);
Likewise for internal_warning.
The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done
with a perl/sed script.
The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h,
gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.

This changes GDB to use frame_info_ptr instead of frame_info *
The substitution was done with multiple sequential `sed` commands:
sed 's/^struct frame_info;/class frame_info_ptr;/'
sed 's/struct frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g' - which left some
issues in a few files, that were manually fixed.
sed 's/\<frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g'
sed 's/frame_info_ptr $/frame_info_ptr/g' - used to remove whitespace
problems.
The changed files were then manually checked and some 'sed' changes
undone, some constructors and some gets were added, according to what
made sense, and what Tromey originally did

This changes struct objfile to use a gdb_bfd_ref_ptr. In addition to
removing some manual memory management, this fixes a use-after-free
that was introduced by the registry rewrite series. The issue there
was that, in some cases, registry shutdown could refer to memory that
had already been freed. This help fix the bug by delaying the
destruction of the BFD reference (and thus the per-bfd object) until
after the registry has been shut down.
When we need to evaluate a DWARF expression in order to resolve some
dynamic property of a type we call the dwarf2_evaluate_property
function, which is declared in gdb/dwarf/loc.h and defined in
gdb/dwarf/loc.c.
Currently, this function takes (amongst other things) an argument of
type property_addr_info called addr_stack and a boolean called
push_initial_value. When push_initial_value then the top value of
addr_stack is pushed onto the dwarf expression evaluation stack before
the expression is evaluated.
So far this has worked fine, as the only two cases we needed to handle
are the case the DWARF expression doesn't require the object
address (what the top of addr_stack represents), and the case where
the DWARF expression does require the address.
In the next commit this is going to change. As we add support for
Fortran assumed rank arrays, we need to start resolving the dynamic
properties of arrays. To do this, we need to push the array rank onto
the dwarf expression evaluation stack before the expression is
evaluated.
This commit is a refactoring commit aimed at making it easier to
support Fortran assumed rank arrays. Instead of passing a boolean,
and using this to decide if we should push the object address or not,
we instead pass an array (view) of values that should be pushed to the
dwarf expression evaluation stack.
In the couple of places where we previously passed push_initial_value
as true (mostly this was defaulting to false), we now have to pass the
address from the addr_stack as an item in the array view.
In the next commit, when we want to handle passing the array rank,
this will easily be supported too.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
While examining the dwarf expression evaluator, I noticed that in
dwarf2_locexpr_baton_eval, whenever push_initial_value is true, the
addr_stack will never be nullptr.
This allows for a small cleanup, replacing an if/then/else with an
assertion.

A large customer program has a function that is partitioned into hot
and cold parts. A variable in a callee of this function is described
using DW_OP_GNU_entry_value, but gdb gets confused when trying to find
the caller. I tracked this down to dwarf2_get_pc_bounds interpreting
the function's changes so that the returned low PC is the "wrong"
function.
Intead, when processing DW_TAG_call_site, the low PC of each range in
DW_AT_ranges should be preserved in the call_site_target. This fixes
the variable lookup in the test case I have.
I didn't write a standalone test for this as it seemed excessively
complicated.
In order to handle the case where a call site target might refer to
multiple addresses, we change the code to use a callback style. Any
spot using call_site_target::address now passes in a callback function
that may be called multiple times.
call_site_find_chain_1 has a comment claiming that recursive calls
would be too expensive. However, I doubt this is so expensive; and
furthermore the explicit state management approach here is difficult
both to understand and to modify. This patch changes this code to use
explicit recursion, so that a subsequent patch can generalize this
code without undue trauma.
Additionally, I think this patch detects a latent bug in the recursion
code. (It's hard for me to be completely certain.) The bug is that
when a new target_call_site is entered, the code does:
if (target_call_site)
{
if (addr_hash.insert (target_call_site->pc ()).second)
{
/* Successfully entered TARGET_CALL_SITE. */
chain.push_back (target_call_site);
break;
}
}
Here, if entering the target_call_site fails, then any tail_call_next
elements in this call site are not visited. However, if this code
does happen to enter a call site, then the tail_call_next elements
will be visited during backtracking. This applies when doing the
backtracking as well -- it will only continue through a given chain as
long as each element in the chain can successfully be visited.
I'd appreciate some review of this. If this behavior is intentional,
it can be added to the new implementation.
While investigating this bug, I wasn't sure if chain_candidate might
update 'chain'. I changed it to accept a const reference, making it
clear that it cannot. This simplifies the code a tiny bit as well.
This makes the data members of call_site_target 'private'. This lets
us remove most of its public API. call_site_to_target_addr is changed
to be a method of this type. This is a preparatory refactoring for
the fix at the end of this series.
call_site_target reuses field_loc_kind and field_location. However,
it has never used the full range of the field_loc_kind enum. In a
subsequent patch, I plan to add a new 'kind' here, so it seemed best
to avoid this reuse and instead introduce new types here.

This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
Simon pointed out that my recent patches to .debug_loclists caused
some regressions. After a brief discussion we realized it was because
his system compiler defaults to PIE.
This patch changes this code to unconditionally apply the text offset
here. It also changes loclist_describe_location to work more like
dwarf2_find_location_expression.
I tested this by running the gdb.dwarf2 tests both with and without
-pie.
When the code to handle DW_LLE_start_end was added (as part of some
DWARF 5 work), it was written to add the base address. However, this
seems incorrect -- the DWARF standard describes this as an address,
not an offset from the base address.
This patch changes a couple of spots in dwarf2/loc.c to fix this
problem. It then changes decode_debug_loc_addresses to return
DEBUG_LOC_OFFSET_PAIR instead, which preserves the previous semantics.
This only showed up on the RISC-V target internally, due to the
combination of DWARF 5 and a newer version of GCC. I've updated a
couple of existing loclists test cases to demonstrate the bug.
The bug fixed by this [1] patch was caused by an out-of-bounds access to
a value's content. The code gets the value's content (just a pointer)
and then indexes it with a non-sensical index.
This made me think of changing functions that return value contents to
return array_views instead of a plain pointer. This has the advantage
that when GDB is built with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG, accesses to the array_view
are checked, making bugs more apparent / easier to find.
This patch changes the return types of these functions, and updates
callers to call .data() on the result, meaning it's not changing
anything in practice. Additional work will be needed (which can be done
little by little) to make callers propagate the use of array_view and
reap the benefits.

This adds an is_optimized_out function pointer to lval_funcs, and
changes value_optimized_out to call it. This new function lets gdb
determine if a value is optimized out without necessarily fetching the
value. This is needed for a subsequent patch, where an attempt to
access a lazy value would fail due to the value size limit -- however,
the access was only needed to determine the optimized-out state.
Consider test-case gdb.trace/entry-values.exp with target board
unix/-fPIE/-pie.
Using this command we have an abbreviated version, and can see the correct
@entry values for foo:
...
$ gdb -q -batch outputs/gdb.trace/entry-values/entry-values \
-ex start \
-ex "break foo" \
-ex "set print entry-values both" \
-ex continue
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x679
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0x0000555555554679 in main ()
Breakpoint 2 at 0x55555555463e
Breakpoint 2, 0x000055555555463e in foo (i=0, i@entry=2, j=2, j@entry=3)
...
Now, let's try the same again, but run directly to foo rather than stopping at
main:
...
$ gdb -q -batch outputs/gdb.trace/entry-values/entry-values \
-ex "break foo" \
-ex "set print entry-values both" \
-ex run
Breakpoint 1 at 0x63e
Breakpoint 1, 0x000055555555463e in foo (i=0, i@entry=<optimized out>, \
j=2, j@entry=<optimized out>)
...
So, what explains the difference? Noteworthy, this is a dwarf assembly
test-case, with debug info for foo and bar, but not for main.
In the first case:
- we run to main
- this does not trigger expanding debug info, because there's none for main
- we set a breakpoint at foo
- this triggers expanding debug info. Relocated addresses are used in
call_site info (because the exec is started)
- we continue to foo, and manage to find the call_site info
In the second case:
- we set a breakpoint at foo
- this triggers expanding debug info. Unrelocated addresses are used in
call_site info (because the exec is not started)
- we run to foo
- this triggers objfile_relocate1, but it doesn't update the call_site
info addresses
- we don't manage to find the call_site info
We could fix this by adding the missing call_site relocation in
objfile_relocate1.
This solution however is counter-trend in the sense that we're trying to
work towards the situation where when starting two instances of an executable,
we need only one instance of debug information, implying the use of
unrelocated addresses.
So, fix this instead by using unrelocated addresses in call_site info.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
This fixes all remaining unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie vs unix/-fPIE/-pie
regressions, like f.i. PR24892.
