PR 27614 shows that gdb-add-index fails to generate the index when its
argument is a symlink.
The following one liner illustrates the reported problem:
$ echo 'int main(){}'|gcc -g -x c -;ln -s a.out symlink;gdb-add-index symlink
gdb-add-index: No index was created for symlink
gdb-add-index: [Was there no debuginfo? Was there already an index?]
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 25712 Mar 19 23:05 a.out*
-rw------- 1 8277 Mar 19 23:05 a.out.gdb-index
lrwxrwxrwx 1 5 Mar 19 23:05 symlink -> a.out*
GDB generates the .gdb-index file with a name that matches the name of
the actual program (a.out.gdb-index here), not the symlink that
references it. The remaining of the script is looking for a file named
after the provided argument (would be 'symlink.gdb-index' in our
example).
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/27614
* contrib/gdb-add-index.sh: Fix when called with a symlink as an
argument.

* gdb.dwarf2/gdb-add-index-symlink.exp: New test.
While working on gdb-add-index.sh, it appeared that it uses the non
POSIX 'local' keyword. Instead of using local to allow variable
shadowing, I rename the local one to avoid name conflicts altogether.
This commit gets rid of the following shellcheck warning:
In gdb-add-index.sh line 63:
local file="$1"
^--------^ SC2039: In POSIX sh, 'local' is undefined.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* contrib/gdb-add-index.sh: Avoid variable shadowing and get
rid of 'local'.
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.
Atm gdb-add-index.exp fails with target board cc-with-dwz-m.
Fix this by updating gdb/contrib/gdb-add-index.sh to handle a dwz-m-ed
executable.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

* contrib/gdb-add-index.sh: Update to handle dwz-m-ed executable.
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.

(gdb) help save gdb-index
Save a gdb-index file.
Usage: save gdb-index [-dwarf-5] DIRECTORY
No options create one file with .gdb-index extension for pre-DWARF-5
compatible .gdb_index section. With -dwarf-5 creates two files with
extension .debug_names and .debug_str for DWARF-5 .debug_names section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But gdb-add-index command provided no way how to pass the -dwarf-5 option.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-07-07 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* contrib/gdb-add-index.sh ($dwarf5): New, use it.
This adds a new "-dwarf-5" switch to "save gdb-index" that makes it
generate index files with DWARF-5 .debug_names/.debug_str sections
instead of GDB's own .gdb_index.
We should probably add a command line option to
contrib/gdb-add-index.sh (incl. cc-with-tweaks.sh) for the new
-dwarf-5 GDB option, and a new target board to make it more convenient
to exercise this. To be done later.
