Replace the hand-maintained linked lists of breakpoint locations with
and intrusive list.
- Remove breakpoint::loc, add breakpoint::m_locations.
- Add methods for the various manipulations that need to be done on the
location list, while maintaining reasonably good encapsulation.
- bp_location currently has a default constructor because of one use
in hoist_existing_locations. hoist_existing_locations now returns a
bp_location_list, and doesn't need the default-constructor
bp_location anymore, so remove the bp_location default constructor.
- I needed to add a call to clear_locations in delete_breakpoint to
avoid a use-after-free.
- Add a breakpoint::last_loc method, for use in
set_breakpoint_condition.
bp_location_range uses reference_to_pointer_iterator, so that all
existing callers of breakpoint::locations don't need to change right
now. It will be removed in the next patch.
The rest of the changes are to adapt the call sites to use the new
methods, of breakpoint::locations, rather than breakpoint::loc directly.

Add convenience first_loc methods to struct breakpoint (const and
non-const overloads). A subsequent patch changes the list of locations
to be an intrusive_list and makes the actual list private, so these
spots would need to change from:
b->loc
to something ugly like:
*b->locations ().begin ()
That would make the code much heavier and not readable. There is a
surprisingly big number of places that access the first location of
breakpoints. Whether this is correct, or these spots fail to consider
the possibility of multi-location breakpoints, I don't know. But
anyhow, I think that using this instead:
b->first_loc ()
conveys the intention better than the other two forms.

This patch adds a new parser_flags type and changes the parser APIs to
use it rather than a collection of 'int' and 'bool'. More flags will
be added in subsquent patches.
This turns value_contents_raw, value_contents_writeable, and
value_contents_all_raw into methods on value. The remaining functions
will be changed later in the series; they were a bit trickier and so I
didn't include them in this patch.

This commit splits the `set/show print elements' option into two. We
retain `set/show print elements' for controlling how many elements of an
array we print, but a new `set/show print characters' setting is added
which is used for controlling how many characters of a string are
printed.
The motivation behind this change is to allow users a finer level of
control over how data is printed, reflecting that, although strings can
be thought of as arrays of characters, users often want to treat these
two things differently.
For compatibility reasons by default the `set/show print characters'
option is set to `elements', which makes the limit for character strings
follow the setting of the `set/show print elements' option, as it used
to. Using `set print characters' with any other value makes the limit
independent from the `set/show print elements' setting, however it can
be restored to the default with the `set print characters elements'
command at any time.
A corresponding `-characters' option for the `print' command is added,
with the same semantics, i.e. one can use `elements' to make a given
`print' invocation follow the limit of elements, be it set with the
`-elements' option also given with the same invocation or taken from the
`set/show print elements' setting, for characters as well regardless of
the current setting of the `set/show print characters' option.
The GDB changes are all pretty straightforward, just changing references
to the old 'print_max' to use a new `get_print_max_chars' helper which
figures out which of the two of `print_max' and `print_max_chars' values
to use.
Likewise, the documentation is just updated to reference the new setting
where appropriate.
To make people's life easier the message shown by `show print elements'
now indicates if the setting also applies to character strings:
(gdb) set print characters elements
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on string chars or array elements to print is 200.
(gdb) set print characters unlimited
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on array elements to print is 200.
(gdb)
and the help text shows the dependency as well:
(gdb) help set print elements
Set limit on array elements to print.
"unlimited" causes there to be no limit.
This setting also applies to string chars when "print characters"
is set to "elements".
(gdb)
In the testsuite there are two minor updates, one to add `-characters'
to the list of completions now shown for the `print' command, and a bare
minimum pair of checks for the right handling of `set print characters'
and `show print characters', copied from the corresponding checks for
`set print elements' and `show print elements' respectively.

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, 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

I went through all the uses of dynamic_cast<> in gdb, looking for ones
that could be replaced with checked_static_cast. This patch is the
result. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
Currently, GDB internally uses the term "location" for both the
location specification the user input (linespec, explicit location, or
an address location), and for actual resolved locations, like the
breakpoint locations, or the result of decoding a location spec to
SaLs. This is expecially confusing in the breakpoints module, as
struct breakpoint has these two fields:
breakpoint::location;
breakpoint::loc;
"location" is the location spec, and "loc" is the resolved locations.
And then, we have a method called "locations()", which returns the
resolved locations as range...
The location spec type is presently called event_location:
/* Location we used to set the breakpoint. */
event_location_up location;
and it is described like this:
/* The base class for all an event locations used to set a stop event
in the inferior. */
struct event_location
{
and even that is incorrect... Location specs are used for finding
actual locations in the program in scenarios that have nothing to do
with stop events. E.g., "list" works with location specs.
To clean all this confusion up, this patch renames "event_location" to
"location_spec" throughout, and then all the variables that hold a
location spec, they are renamed to include "spec" in their name, like
e.g., "location" -> "locspec". Similarly, functions that work with
location specs, and currently have just "location" in their name are
renamed to include "spec" in their name too.

I noticed that a couple of deprecated hooks aren't ever called, so
they can't really be used by Insight. This patch removes them
entirely. I checked the Insight sources, and these aren't mentioned
there, either.
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.
Simon pointed out that commit 13835d88 ("Use function view when
iterating over block symbols") caused a regression. The bug is that
the new closure captures 'pc' by reference, but later code updates
this variable -- but the earlier code did not update the callback
structure with the new value.
This patch restores the old behavior by using a new varible name in an
inner scope.
This changes iterate_over_block_local_vars and
iterate_over_block_arg_vars to take a gdb::function_view rather than a
function pointer and a user-data. In one spot, this allows us to
remove a helper structure and helper function. In another spot, this
looked more complicated, so I changed the helper function to be an
"operator()" -- also a simplification, just not as big.
No kind of internal var uses it remove it. This makes the transition to
using a variant easier, since we don't need to think about where this
should be called (in a destructor or not), if it can throw, etc.

I think it only really makes sense to call wrap_here with an argument
consisting solely of spaces. Given this, it seemed better to me that
the argument be an int, rather than a string. This patch is the
result. Much of it was written by a script.
In an earlier version of the pager rewrite series, it was important to
audit unfiltered output calls to see which were truly necessary.
This is no longer necessary, but it still seems like a decent cleanup
to change calls to avoid explicitly passing gdb_stdout. That is,
rather than using something like fprintf_unfiltered with gdb_stdout,
the code ought to use plain printf_unfiltered instead.
This patch makes this change. I went ahead and converted all the
_filtered calls I could find, as well, for the same clarity.
Many otherwise ordinary commands choose to use unfiltered output
rather than filtered. I don't think there's any reason for this, so
this changes many such commands to use filtered output instead.
Note that complete_command is not touched due to a comment there
explaining why unfiltered output is believed to be used.
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.
Change gdb_assert_not_reached to accept a format string plus
corresponding arguments. This allows giving more precise messages.
Because the format string passed by the caller is prepended with a "%s:"
to add the function name, the callers can no longer pass a translated
string (`_(...)`). Make the gdb_assert_not_reached include the _(),
just like the gdb_assert_fail macro just above.

The motivation is to reduce the number of places where unmanaged
pointers are returned from allocation type routines. All of the
callers are updated.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
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.

String-like settings (var_string, var_filename, var_optional_filename,
var_string_noescape) currently take a pointer to a `char *` storage
variable (typically global) that holds the setting's value. I'd like to
"mordernize" this by changing them to use an std::string for storage.
An obvious reason is that string operations on std::string are often
easier to write than with C strings. And they avoid having to do any
manual memory management.
Another interesting reason is that, with `char *`, nullptr and an empty
string often both have the same meaning of "no value". String settings
are initially nullptr (unless initialized otherwise). But when doing
"set foo" (where `foo` is a string setting), the setting now points to
an empty string. For example, solib_search_path is nullptr at startup,
but points to an empty string after doing "set solib-search-path". This
leads to some code that needs to check for both to check for "no value".
Or some code that converts back and forth between NULL and "" when
getting or setting the value. I find this very error-prone, because it
is very easy to forget one or the other. With std::string, we at least
know that the variable is not "NULL". There is only one way of
representing an empty string setting, that is with an empty string.
I was wondering whether the distinction between NULL and "" would be
important for some setting, but it doesn't seem so. If that ever
happens, it would be more C++-y and self-descriptive to use
optional<string> anyway.
Actually, there's one spot where this distinction mattered, it's in
init_history, for the test gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp. init_history
sets the history filename to the default ".gdb_history" if it sees that
the setting was never set - if history_filename is nullptr. If
history_filename is an empty string, it means the setting was explicitly
cleared, so it leaves it as-is. With the change to std::string, this
distinction doesn't exist anymore. This can be fixed by moving the code
that chooses a good default value for history_filename to
_initialize_top. This is ran before -ex commands are processed, so an
-ex command can then clear that value if needed (what
gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp tests).
Another small improvement, in my opinion is that we can now easily
give string parameters initial values, by simply initializing the global
variables, instead of xstrdup-ing it in the _initialize function.
In Python and Guile, when registering a string-like parameter, we
allocate (with new) an std::string that is owned by the param_smob (in
Guile) and the parmpy_object (in Python) objects.
This patch started by changing all relevant add_setshow_* commands to
take an `std::string *` instead of a `char **` and fixing everything
that failed to build. That includes of course all string setting
variable and their uses.
string_option_def now uses an std::string also, because there's a
connection between options and settings (see
add_setshow_cmds_for_options).
The add_path function in source.c is really complex and twisted, I'd
rather not try to change it to work on an std::string right now.
Instead, I added an overload that copies the std:string to a `char *`
and back. This means more copying, but this is not used in a hot path
at all, so I think it is acceptable.

After browsing the CLI code for quite a while and trying really hard, I
reached the conclusion that I can't give a meaningful explanation of
what "sfunc" and "cfunc" functions are, in cmd_list_element. I don't
see a logic at all. That makes it very difficult to do any kind of
change. Unless somebody can make sense out of all that, I'd like to try
to retro-fit some logic in the cmd_list_element callback function code
so that we can understand what is going on, do some cleanups and add new
features.
The first change is about "cfunc". I can't figure out what the "c" in
cfunc means. It's not const, because there's already "const" in
"cmd_const_cfunc_ftype", and the previous "cmd_cfunc_ftype" had nothing
const.. It's not "cmd" or "command", because there's already "cmd" in
"cmd_const_cfunc_ftype".
The "main" command callback, cmd_list_element::func, has three
parameters, whereas cfunc has two. It is missing the cmd_list_element
parameter. So the only reason I see for cfunc to exist is to be a shim
between the three and two parameter versions. Most commands don't need
to receive the cmd_list_element object, so adding it everywhere would be
long and would just add more unnecessary boilerplate. So since this is
the "simple" version of the callback, compared to the "full", I suggest
renaming cmd_const_cfunc_ftype into cmd_simple_func_ftype, as well as
everything (like the utility functions) that goes with it.

Same idea as the previous patches, but to replace the ALL_TRACEPOINTS
macro. Define a new filtered_iterator that only keeps the breakpoints
for which is_tracepoint returns true (just like the macro did).
I would have like to make it so tracepoint_range yields some
`tracepoint *` instead of some `breakpoint *`, that would help simplify
the callers, who wouldn't have to do the cast themselves. But I didn't
find an obvious way to do it. It can always be added later.
It turns out there is already an all_tracepoints function, which returns
a vector containing all the breakpoints that are tracepoint. Remove it,
most users will just work seamlessly with the new function. The
exception is start_tracing, which iterated multiple times on the vector.
Adapt this one so it iterates multiple times on the returned range.
Since the existing users of all_tracepoints are outside of breakpoint.c,
this requires defining all_tracepoints and a few supporting types in
breakpoint.h. So, move breakpoint_iterator from breakpoint.c to
breakpoint.h.
