gdb/testsuite: change newline patterns used in gdb_test
It was pointed out in PR gdb/30403 that the same patterns can be found
in other lib/gdb.exp procs and that it would probably be a good idea
if these procs remained in sync with gdb_test. Actually, the bug
specifically calls out gdb_test_multiple when using with '-wrap', but
I found a couple of other locations in gdb_continue_to_breakpoint,
gdb_test_multiline, get_valueof, and get_local_valueof.
In all these locations one or both of the following issues are
addressed:
1. A leading pattern of '[\r\n]*' is pointless. If there is a
newline it will be matched, but if there is not then the testsuite
doesn't care. Also, as expect is happy to skip non-matched output
at the start of a pattern, if there is a newline expect is happy to
skip over it before matching the rest. As such, this leading
pattern is removed.
2. Using '\[\r\n\]*$gdb_prompt' means that we will swallow
unexpected blank lines at the end of a command's output, but also,
if the pattern from the test script ends with a '\r', '\n', or '.'
then these will partially match the trailing newline, with the
remainder of the newline matched by the pattern from gdb.exp. This
split matching doesn't add any value, it's just something that has
appeared as a consequence of how gdb.exp was originally written. In
this case the '\[\r\n\]*' is replaced with '\r\n'.
I've rerun the testsuite and fixed the regressions that I saw, these
were places where GDB emits a blank line at the end of the command
output, which we now need to explicitly match in the test script, this
was for:
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-out-of-range-end-of-seq.exp
gdb.guile/guile.exp
gdb.python/python.exp
Or a location where the test script was matching part of the newline
sequence, while gdb.exp was previously matching the remainder of the
newline sequence. Now we rely on gdb.exp to match the complete
newline sequence, this was for:
gdb.base/commands.exp
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30403
I noticed in gdb.base/page.exp:
...
set fours [string repeat 4 40]
...
but then shortly afterwards:
...
[list 1\r\n 2\r\n 3\r\n 444444444444444444444444444444]
...
Summarize the long string in the same way using string repeat:
...
[list 1\r\n 2\r\n 3\r\n [string repeat 4 30]]
...
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Tighten the expected output pattern in the test script:
gdb.debuginfod/build-id-no-debug-warning.exp
While working on some other patch I broke GDB such that this warning:
warning: "FILENAME": separate debug info file has no debug info
(which is generated in build-id.c) didn't actually include the
FILENAME any more -- yet this test script continued to pass. It turns
out that this script doesn't actually check for FILENAME.
This commit extends the test pattern to check for the full warning
string, including FILENAME, and also removes some uses of '.*' to make
the test stricter.
While looking into another bug, I noticed that the DWARF cooked
indexer picks up an address for this symbol:
<1><82>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_variable)
<83> DW_AT_specification: <0x9f>
<87> DW_AT_location : 10 byte block: e 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 e0 (DW_OP_const8u: 0 0; DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address or DW_OP_HP_unknown)
<92> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x156): _ZN9container8tlsvar_0E
This happens because decode_locdesc allows the use of
DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address.
This didn't make sense to me. I looked into it a bit more, and I
think decode_locdesc is used in three ways:
1. Find a constant address of a symbol that happens to be encoded as a
location expression.
2. Find the offset of a function in a virtual table. (This one should
probably be replaced by code to just evaluate the expression in
gnu-v3-abi.c -- but there's no point yet because no compiler
actually seems to emit correct DWARF here, see the bug linked in
the patch.)
3. Find the offset of a field, if the offset is a constant.
None of these require TLS.
This patch simplifies decode_locdesc by removing any opcodes that
don't fit into the above. It also changes the API a little, to make
it less difficult to use.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 36.
This simplifies auto_load_expand_dir_vars to first split the string,
then do any needed substitutions. This was suggested by Simon, and is
much simpler than the current approach.
Then this patch also removes substitute_path_component, as it is no
longer called. This is nice because it helps with the long term goal
of removing utils.h.

SUMMARY
The '--simple-values' argument to '-stack-list-arguments' and similar
GDB/MI commands does not take reference types into account, so that
references to arbitrarily large structures are considered "simple" and
printed. This means that the '--simple-values' argument cannot be used
by IDEs when tracing the stack due to the time taken to print large
structures passed by reference.
DETAILS
Various GDB/MI commands ('-stack-list-arguments', '-stack-list-locals',
'-stack-list-variables' and so on) take a PRINT-VALUES argument which
may be '--no-values' (0), '--all-values' (1) or '--simple-values' (2).
In the '--simple-values' case, the command is supposed to print the
name, type, and value of variables with simple types, and print only the
name and type of variables with compound types.
The '--simple-values' argument ought to be suitable for IDEs that need
to update their user interface with the program's call stack every time
the program stops. However, it does not take C++ reference types into
account, and this makes the argument unsuitable for this purpose.
For example, consider the following C++ program:
struct s {
int v[10];
};
int
sum(const struct s &s)
{
int total = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) total += s.v[i];
return total;
}
int
main(void)
{
struct s s = { { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 } };
return sum(s);
}
If we start GDB in MI mode and continue to 'sum', the behaviour of
'-stack-list-arguments' is as follows:
(gdb)
-stack-list-arguments --simple-values
^done,stack-args=[frame={level="0",args=[{name="s",type="const s &",value="@0x7fffffffe310: {v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}}"}]},frame={level="1",args=[]}]
Note that the value of the argument 's' was printed, even though 's' is
a reference to a structure, which is not a simple value.
See https://github.com/microsoft/MIEngine/pull/673 for a case where this
behaviour caused Microsoft to avoid the use of '--simple-values' in
their MIEngine debug adapter, because it caused Visual Studio Code to
take too long to refresh the call stack in the user interface.
SOLUTIONS
There are two ways we could fix this problem, depending on whether we
consider the current behaviour to be a bug.
1. If the current behaviour is a bug, then we can update the behaviour
of '--simple-values' so that it takes reference types into account:
that is, a value is simple if it is neither an array, struct, or
union, nor a reference to an array, struct or union.
In this case we must add a feature to the '-list-features' command so
that IDEs can detect that it is safe to use the '--simple-values'
argument when refreshing the call stack.
2. If the current behaviour is not a bug, then we can add a new option
for the PRINT-VALUES argument, for example, '--scalar-values' (3),
that would be suitable for use by IDEs.
In this case we must add a feature to the '-list-features' command
so that IDEs can detect that the '--scalar-values' argument is
available for use when refreshing the call stack.
PATCH
This patch implements solution (1) as I think the current behaviour of
not printing structures, but printing references to structures, is
contrary to reasonable expectation.

In commit 995a34b177 ("Guard against frame.c destructors running before
frame-info.c's") the following problem was addressed.
The frame_info_ptr destructor:
...
~frame_info_ptr ()
{
frame_list.erase (frame_list.iterator_to (*this));
}
...
uses frame_list, which is a static member of class frame_info_ptr,
instantiated in frame-info.c:
...
intrusive_list<frame_info_ptr> frame_info_ptr::frame_list;
...
Then there's a static frame_info_pointer variable named selected_frame in
frame.c:
...
static frame_info_ptr selected_frame;
...
Because the destructor of selected_frame uses frame_list, its destructor needs
to be called before the destructor of frame_list.
But because they're in different compilation units, the initialization order and
consequently destruction order is not guarantueed.
The commit fixed this by handling the case that the destructor of frame_list
is called first, adding a check on is_linked ():
...
~frame_info_ptr ()
{
- frame_list.erase (frame_list.iterator_to (*this));
+ /* If this node has static storage, it may be deleted after
+ frame_list. Attempting to erase ourselves would then trigger
+ internal errors, so make sure we are still linked first. */
+ if (is_linked ())
+ frame_list.erase (frame_list.iterator_to (*this));
}
...
However, since then frame_list has been moved into frame.c, and
initialization/destruction order is guarantueed inside a compilation unit.
Revert aforementioned commit, and fix the destruction order problem by moving
frame_list before selected_frame.
Reverting the commit is another way of fixing the already fixed
Wdangling-pointer warning reported in PR build/30413, in a different way than
commit 9b0ccb1eba ("Pass const frame_info_ptr reference for
skip_[language_]trampoline").

Each new frame_info_ptr is being pushed on a static frame list and g++
cannot see why that is safe in case the frame_info_ptr is created and
destroyed immediately when passed as value.
It isn't clear why only in this one place g++ sees the issue (probably
because it can inline enough code in this specific case).
Since passing the frame_info_ptr as const reference is cheaper, use
that as workaround for this warning.

With TERM=ansi, when resizing a TUI window from LINES/COLUMNS 31/118
(maximized) to 20/78 (de-maximized), I get a garbled screen (that ^L doesn't
fix) and a message:
...
@@ resize done 0, size = 77x20
...
with the resulting width being 77 instead of the expected 78.
[ The discrepancy also manifests in CLI, filed as PR30346. ]
The discrepancy comes from tui_resize_all, where we ask readline for the
screen size:
...
rl_get_screen_size (&screenheight, &screenwidth);
...
As it happens, when TERM is set to ansi, readline decides that the terminal
cannot auto-wrap lines, and reserves one column to deal with that, and as a
result reports back one less than the actual screen width:
...
$ echo $COLUMNS
78
$ TERM=xterm gdb -ex "show width" -ex q
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 78.
$ TERM=ansi gdb -ex "show width" -ex q
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 77.
...
In tui_resize_all, we need the actual screen width, and using a screenwidth of
one less than the actual value garbles the screen.
This is currently not causing trouble in testing because we have a workaround
in place in proc Term::resize. If we disable the workaround:
...
- stty columns [expr {$_cols + 1}] < $::gdb_tty_name
+ stty columns $_cols < $::gdb_tty_name
...
and dump the screen we get the same type of screen garbling:
...
0 +---------------------------------------+|
1 ||
2 ||
3 ||
...
Another way to reproduce the problem is using command "maint info screen".
After starting gdb with TERM=ansi, entering TUI, and issuing the command, we
get:
...
Number of characters curses thinks are in a line is 78.
...
and after maximizing and demaximizing the window we get:
...
Number of characters curses thinks are in a line is 77.
...
If we use TERM=xterm, we do get the expected 78.
Fix this by:
- detecting when readline will report back less than the actual screen width,
- accordingly setting a new variable readline_hidden_cols,
- using readline_hidden_cols in tui_resize_all to fix the resize problem, and
- removing the workaround in Term::resize.
The test-case gdb.tui/empty.exp serves as regression test.
I've applied the same fix in tui_async_resize_screen, the new test-case
gdb.tui/resize-2.exp serves as a regression test for that change. Without
that fix, we have:
...
