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.
Don't delete the runtime-generated command files. This makes it easier
to reproduce tests by hand.

The hardware watchpoint check has been updated in a couple of recent
patches. This patch updates the hardware watchpoint test in the remaining
gdb tests.
The issue is the PowerPC processors support hardware watchpoints with the
exception of Power 9. The hardware watchpoint support is disabled on
Power 9. The test skip_hw_watchpoint_tests must be used to correctly
determine if the PowerPC processor supports hardware watchpoints.
This patch fixes 6 test failures in test gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp.
Test gdb.base/watch-vfork.exp runs with can-use-hw-watchpoints set to
true and false. When the test is run with can-use-hw-watchpoints set to
true, gdb just falls back to using software watchpoints. The
patch reduces the number of expected passes by 2 since because it now
only runs once with can-use-hw-watchpoints set to false.
Test gdb.mi/mi-watch.exp runs the test with argument hw and sw. If the
argument is hw and hardware watchpoints are not supported the test exits.
The number of expected passes is cut in half with the patch as it now only
runs the test using software breakpoints. Previously the pass to use
hardware watchpoints was not skipped and the test actually ran using
software watchpoints.
The following tests run the same with and without the patch. The tests
are supposed to execute the gdb command "set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0" if
the processor does not support hardware bwatchpoints. However the command
was not being executed and gdb was falling back to using software
watchpoints since the Power 9 watchpoint resource check fails. With the
patch, the tests now execute the command and the test runs using software
watchpoints as it did previously. The tests are:
gdb.base/commands.exp
gdb.base/cond-eval-mode.exp
gdb.base/display.exp
gdb.base/gdb11531.exp
gdb.base/recurse.exp
gdb.base/value-double-free.exp
gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp
gdb.base/watch-cond-infcall.exp
gdb.base/watch-cond.exp
gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp
gdb.base/watchpoints.exp
The following two tests are not supported on the Power 9 system used to
test the changes. The patch does not change the tests results for these
tests:
gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp
gdb.mi/mi-watch-nonstop.exp
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py

For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were

I don't think it's very useful to show deprecated aliases to the
user. It encourages the user to use them, when the goal is the
opposite.
For example, before:
(gdb) help set index-cache enabled
set index-cache enabled, set index-cache off, set index-cache on
alias set index-cache off = set index-cache enabled off
alias set index-cache on = set index-cache enabled on
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
(gdb) help set index-cache on
Warning: 'set index-cache on', an alias for the command 'set index-cache enabled', is deprecated.
Use 'set index-cache enabled on'.
set index-cache enabled, set index-cache off, set index-cache on
alias set index-cache off = set index-cache enabled off
alias set index-cache on = set index-cache enabled on
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
After:
(gdb) help set index-cache enabled
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
(gdb) help set index-cache on
Warning: 'set index-cache on', an alias for the command 'set index-cache enabled', is deprecated.

As follow-up to this discussion:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-August/171385.html
... make runto_main not pass no-message to runto. This means that if we
fail to run to main, for some reason, we'll emit a FAIL. This is the
behavior we want the majority of (if not all) the time.
Without this, we rely on tests logging a failure if runto_main fails,
otherwise. They do so in a very inconsisteny mannet, sometimes using
"fail", "unsupported" or "untested". The messages also vary widly.
This patch removes all these messages as well.
Also, remove a few "fail" where we call runto (and not runto_main). by
default (without an explicit no-message argument), runto prints a
failure already. In two places, gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp and
gdb.python/py-pp-registration.exp, remove "message" passed to runto.
This removes a few PASSes that we don't care about (but FAILs will still
be printed if we fail to run to where we want to). This aligns their
behavior with the rest of the testsuite.

This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start
of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
Consider this GDB session:
(gdb) define set xxx_yyy
Type commands for definition of "set xxx_yyy".
End with a line saying just "end".
>echo in set xxx_yyy command\n
>end
(gdb) alias set qqq_aaa=set xxx_yyy
(gdb) maintenance deprecate set qqq_aaa
(gdb) set qqq_aaa
Warning: 'qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'xxx_yyy' is deprecated.
No alternative known.
in set xxx_yyy command
(gdb)
Notice the warning mentions 'qqq_aaa' and 'xxx_yyy', I consider this
to be wrong. I think the proper warning should read:
(gdb) set qqq_aaa
Warning: 'set qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'set xxx_yyy', is deprecated.
No alternative known.
With the 'set' prefixes added and a comma before the final 'is
deprecated'. That is what this patch does. The expected results are
updated as needed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-decode.c (deprecated_cmd_warning): Ignore the prefix
result from lookup_cmd_composition_1, use the prefixes from both
the command and the alias instead.
(lookup_cmd_composition_1): Initial prefix command is the based on
the search list being passed in. Simplify the logic for tracking
the prefix command. Replace a use of alloca with a local
std::string.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/commands.exp: Update expected results.
I noticed that deprecated aliases that have a prefix don't give a
deprecated command warning. For example looking in mi/mi-main.c we
see this:
c = add_alias_cmd ("target-async", "mi-async", class_run, 0, &setlist);
deprecate_cmd (c, "set mi-async");
c = add_alias_cmd ("target-async", "mi-async", class_run, 0, &showlist);
deprecate_cmd (c, "show mi-async");
So both 'set target-async' and 'show target-async' are deprecated and
should be giving a warning, however, in use we see no warning given.
This is a consequence of how the code that should give this
warning (deprecated_cmd_warning) performs a second command lookup in
order to distinguish between aliases and real commands, and that the
code that calls this (lookup_cmd_1) strips off prefix commands as it
calls itself recursively.
As a result when we are considering an alias like 'set target-async'
we first enter lookup_cmd_1 with text = "set target-async", we spot
the 'set' command prefix and then recursively call lookup_cmd_1 with
text = "target-async".
We spot that 'target-async' is a known alias but that it is
deprecated, and so call deprecated_cmd_warning passing in the value of
text, which remember is now "target-async".
In deprecated_cmd_warning we again perform a command lookup starting
from the top-level cmdlist, but now we're trying to find just
"target-async", this fails (as this command requires the 'set' prefix,
and so no warning is given.
I resolved this issue by passing a command list to the function
deprecated_cmd_warning, this is the list in which the command can be
found.
A new test is added to cover this case.
However, there is an additional problem which will be addressed in a
subsequent patch.
Consider this GDB session:
(gdb) define set xxx_yyy
Type commands for definition of "set xxx_yyy".
End with a line saying just "end".
>echo in set xxx_yyy command\n
>end
(gdb) alias set qqq_aaa=set xxx_yyy
(gdb) maintenance deprecate set qqq_aaa
(gdb) set qqq_aaa
Warning: 'qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'xxx_yyy' is deprecated.
No alternative known.
in set xxx_yyy command
(gdb)
Notice the warning mentions 'qqq_aaa' and 'xxx_yyy', I consider this
to be wrong. I think the proper warning should read:
(gdb) set qqq_aaa
Warning: 'set qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'set xxx_yyy' is deprecated.
No alternative known.
With the 'set' prefixes added. A later patch will resolve this
issue.

Command names: make them case sensitive
3d7b173c29900879c9a5958dd6029fd36666e57c
made command name lookup case sensitive. However, define_command, used
when creating a user-defined command, converts the command name to
lowercase, assuming that the command name lookup works in a case
insensitive way. This causes user-defined commands with capital letters
in their name to only be callable with a lowercase version:
(gdb) define Foo
Type commands for definition of "Foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>print 1
>end
(gdb) Foo
Undefined command: "Foo". Try "help".
(gdb) foo
$1 = 1
This patch removes that conversion to lowercase, so that the user can
call the command with the same name they provided.

I noticed that backslash_in_multi_line_command_test in
gdb.base/commands.exp failed on our RHEL6 servers. I traced it to the
old version of DejaGnu (1.4.4). I have found that instead of receiving
the expected:
"print \\\nargc\n"
gdb received:
"print argc\n"
thus breaking the test and its purpose. Versionof DejaGnu < 1.5 mess
up sending "\\\n", it somehow gets replaced with a space. I found that
the following commit in DejaGnu fixed the issue:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dejagnu.git/commit/lib/remote.exp?id=3f39294f5cd6802858838d3bcc0ccce847ae17f2
Even though the commit is almost 10 years old, the following release of
DejaGnu was only in 2013, which is why we still have systems with the
old code.
If the DejaGnu version is < 1.5, we just skip the test.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/commands.exp (backslash_in_multi_line_command_test):
Skip for versions of DejaGnu < 1.5.
With commit 3b12939dfc2399 ("Replace the sync_execution global with a
new enum prompt_state tristate"), GDB started aborting if you try
splitting an input line with a continuation char (backslash) while in
a multi-line command:
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
>print \
(gdb) 1 # note "(gdb)" incorrectly printed here.
>end
readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
$
That abort is actually a symptom of an old problem introduced when
gdb_readline_wrapper was rewritten to use asynchronous readline, back
in 2007. Note how the "(gdb)" prompt is printed above in the "(gdb)
1" line. Clearly it shouldn't be there, but it already was before the
commit mentioned above. Fixing that also fixes the readline abort
shown above.
The problem starts when command_line_input passes a NULL prompt to
gdb_readline_wrapper when it finds previous incomplete input due to a
backslash, trying to fetch more input without printing another ">"
secondary prompt. That itself should not be a problem, because
passing NULL to gdb_readline_wrapper has the same meaning as passing a
pointer to empty string, since gdb_readline_wrapper exposes the same
interface as 'readline(char *)'. However, gdb_readline_wrapper passes
the prompt argument directly to display_gdb_prompt, and for the
latter, a NULL prompt argument has a different meaning - it requests
printing the primary prompt.
Before commit 782a7b8ef9c096 (which rewrote gdb_readline_wrapper to
use asynchronous readline), GDB behaved like this:
(gdb) commands
[....]
>print \
1
>end
(gdb)
The above is what this commit restores GDB back to.
New test included.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
New in v2:
- A few adjustments / simplifications were possible now that we
require C++11:
. Use std::unique_ptr to make the user_args_stack std::vector own
its elements:
static std::vector<std::unique_ptr<user_args>> user_args_stack;
. use vector::emplace_back to construct elements directly in the
corresponding vectors.
. use std::to_string instead of adding a gdb::to_string
replacement.
- Now includes a test.
Docs/NEWS are unchanged from v1 and have already been approved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently wrote a user-defined command that could benefit from
supporting an unlimited number of arguments:
http://palves.net/list-active-signal-handlers-with-gdb/
E.g., 'info signal-dispositions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11'
However, we currently only support up to 10 arguments passed to
user-defined commands ($arg0..$arg9).
I can't find a good reason for that, other than "old code with hard
coded limits". This patch removes that limit and modernizes the code
along the way:
- Makes the user_args struct a real C++ class that uses std::vector
for storage.
- Removes the "next" pointer from within user_args and uses a
std::vector to maintain a stack instead.
- Adds a new RAII-based scoped_user_args_level class to help
push/pop user args in the stack instead of using a cleanup.

New procedure.

It'd be handy to be able to iterate over command arguments in
user-defined commands, in order to support optional arguments
($arg0..$argN).
I thought I could make it work with "eval", but alas, it doesn't work
currently. E.g., with:
define test
set $i = 0
while $i < $argc
eval "print $arg%d", $i
set $i = $i + 1
end
end
we get:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = void
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = void
$3 = void
$4 = void
(gdb)
The problem is that "eval" doesn't do user-defined command arguments
substitution after expanding its own argument. This patch fixes that,
which makes the example above work:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = 1
$3 = 2
$4 = 3
(gdb)
New test included, similar the above, but also exercises expanding
$argc.
I think this is likely to simplify many scripts out there, so I'm
adding an example to the manual and mentioning it in NEWS as well.

While adding new tests to gdb.base/commands.exp, I noticed that the
file includes a bunch of individual testcases split into their own
procedures, and that none have ever been adjusted to use
with_test_prefix. Instead, each gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc
invocation takes care of including the procedure name in the test
message, in order to make sure test messages are unique.
Simon convinced me that using the procedure name as prefix is not that
bad of an idea:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00020.html
This commit adds an IMO simpler alternative to
with_test_prefix_procname added by that patch -- a new
"proc_with_prefix" convenience proc that is meant to be used in place
of "proc", and then uses it in commands.exp. Procedures defined with
this automatically run their bodies under with_test_prefix $proc_name.
Here's a sample of the resulting gdb.sum diff:
[...]
-PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: break factorial #3
-PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: set value to 5 in test_command_prompt_position
-PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: if test in test_command_prompt_position
-PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: > OK in test_command_prompt_position
+PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: test_command_prompt_position: break factorial
+PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: test_command_prompt_position: set value to 5
+PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: test_command_prompt_position: if test
+PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: test_command_prompt_position: > OK

I am confused by the noargs checking at each proc in commands.exp,
if [target_info exists noargs] {
verbose "Skipping progvar_simple_while_test because of noargs."
return
}
gdb_test_no_output "set args 5" "set args in progvar_simple_while_test"
if { ![runto factorial] } then { gdb_suppress_tests }
# Don't depend upon argument passing, since most simulators don't
# currently support it. Bash value variable to be what we want.
gdb_test "p value=5" ".*" "set value to 5 in progvar_simple_if_test #2"
They are conflicting to me. If the argument passing can't be done on
the target, we skip this test, why do we still have to set value below?
On the other hand, the test case is compiled with -DFAKEARGV, it doesn't
get anything from argv[1], why do we need to skip it if noargs is true?
I don't find any useful clues from the git log, as the code is quite
old, predating import to sourceware cvs. However, I find something
useful from the ChangeLog.

* gdb.base/commands.exp: Protect tests which need arguments with
$noargs conditionals.
Mon Apr 21 13:38:58 1997 Fred Fish <fnf@cygnus.com>
* gdb.base/run.c: Use FAKEARGV to build test executable that
does not require a command line arg, since most simulators
don't currently support passing such an arg into the simulated
program.
* gdb.base/commands.exp: Change tests to insert the proper
value as the arg to the first recursive factorial call. Change
compilation line to define FAKEARGV at compile time.
Jeff added noargs checking as argument is passed to the inferior. Then,
I presume Fred wanted to run this test on simulators which don't support
argument passing, and change the code not get input from argv. (I guess)
noargs wasn't set in simulator board files at that moment.
Since Fred changed test to set input by gdb, instead of getting input
from argv, the test should be able to run on target doesn't support
argument passing, such as simulator and gdbserver.
This patch is to remove these checks to noargs and "set args". I run
commands.exp with these board files, and no fail is found

We have a number of places that do gdb_run_cmd followed by gdb_expect,
when it would be better to use gdb_test_multiple or gdb_test.
This converts all that "grep gdb_run_cmd -A 2 | grep gdb_expect"
found.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

have empty bodies.
User-defined commands that have empty bodies weren't being shown because
the print function returned too soon. Now, it prints the command's name
before checking if it has any body at all. This also fixes the same
problem on "show user <myemptycommand>", which wasn't being printed due
to a similar reason.
gdb/Changelog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c (show_user): Use cli_user_command_p to
decide whether we display the command on "show user".
* cli/cli-script.c (show_user_1): Only verify cmdlines after
printing command name.
* cli/cli-decode.h (cli_user_command_p): Declare new function.
* cli/cli-decode.c (cli_user_command_p): Create helper function
to verify whether cmd_list_element is a user-defined command.
gdb/testsuite/Changelog:
* gdb.base/commands.exp: Add tests to verify user-defined
commands with empty bodies.
* gdb.python/py-cmd.exp: Test that we don't show user-defined
python commands in `show user command`.
* gdb.python/scm-cmd.exp: Test that we don't show user-defined
scheme commands in `show user command`.
