The motivation for this patch is the fact that py-micmd.c doesn't build
with Python 2, due to PyDict_GetItemWithError being a Python 3-only
function:
CXX python/py-micmd.o
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-micmd.c: In function ‘int micmdpy_uninstall_command(micmdpy_object*)’:
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-micmd.c:430:20: error: ‘PyDict_GetItemWithError’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘PyDict_GetItemString’?
430 | PyObject *curr = PyDict_GetItemWithError (mi_cmd_dict.get (),
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| PyDict_GetItemString
A first solution to fix this would be to try to replace
PyDict_GetItemWithError equivalent Python 2 code. But I looked at why
we are doing this in the first place: it is to maintain the
`gdb._mi_commands` Python dictionary that we use as a `name ->
gdb.MICommand object` map. Since the `gdb._mi_commands` dictionary is
never actually used in Python, it seems like a lot of trouble to use a
Python object for this.
My first idea was to replace it with a C++ map
(std::unordered_map<std::string, gdbpy_ref<micmdpy_object>>). While
implementing this, I realized we don't really need this map at all. The
mi_command_py objects registered in the main MI command table can own
their backing micmdpy_object (that's a gdb.MICommand, but seen from the
C++ code). To know whether an mi_command is an mi_command_py, we can
use a dynamic cast. Since there's one less data structure to maintain,
there are less chances of messing things up.
- Change mi_command_py::m_pyobj to a gdbpy_ref, the mi_command_py is
now what keeps the MICommand alive.
- Set micmdpy_object::mi_command in the constructor of mi_command_py.
If mi_command_py manages setting/clearing that field in
swap_python_object, I think it makes sense that it also takes care of
setting it initially.
- Move a bunch of checks from micmdpy_install_command to
swap_python_object, and make them gdb_asserts.
- In micmdpy_install_command, start by doing an mi_cmd_lookup. This is
needed to know whether there's a Python MI command already registered
with that name. But we can already tell if there's a non-Python
command registered with that name. Return an error if that happens,
rather than waiting for insert_mi_cmd_entry to fail. Change the
error message to "name is already in use" rather than "may already be
in use", since it's more precise.
I asked Andrew about the original intent of using a Python dictionary
object to hold the command objects. The reason was to make sure the
objects get destroyed when the Python runtime gets finalized, not later.
Holding the objects in global C++ data structures and not doing anything
more means that the held Python objects will be decref'd after the
Python interpreter has been finalized. That's not desirable. I tried
it and it indeed segfaults.
Handle this by adding a gdbpy_finalize_micommands function called in
finalize_python. This is the mirror of gdbpy_initialize_micommands
called in do_start_initialization. In there, delete all Python MI
commands. I think it makes sense to do it this way: if it was somehow
possible to unload Python support from GDB in the middle of a session
we'd want to unregister any Python MI command. Otherwise, these MI
commands would be backed with a stale PyObject or simply nothing.
Delete tests that were related to `gdb._mi_commands`.

A stepi in a function without debug info with "set debug infrun 1"
crashes GDB since commit c8353d682f69 (gdb/infrun: some extra infrun
debug print statements), due to a reference to
"tp->current_symtab->filename" when tp->current_symtab is null.
This commit adds the missing null check. The output in this case
becomes:

The internal AdaCore testsuite has a test that checks that an
out-of-scope watchpoint is deleted. This fails on some aarch64
configurations, reporting an extra stop:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Thread 3 hit Watchpoint 2: result
Old value = 64
New value = 0
0x0000000040021648 in pck.get_val (seed=0, off_by_one=false) at [...]/pck.adb:13
13 end Get_Val;
I believe what is happening here is that the variable is stored at:
<efa> DW_AT_location : 2 byte block: 91 7c (DW_OP_fbreg: -4)
and the extra stop is reported just before a return, when the ldp
instruction is executed:
0x0000000040021644 <+204>: ldp x29, x30, [sp], #48
0x0000000040021648 <+208>: ret
This instruction modifies the frame base calculation, and so the test
picks up whatever memory is pointed to in the callee frame.
Implementing the gdbarch hook gdbarch_stack_frame_destroyed_p fixes
this problem.
As usual with this sort of patch, it has passed internal testing, but
I don't have a good way to try it with dejagnu. So, I don't know
whether some existing test covers this. I suspect there must be one,
but it's also worth noting that this test passes for aarch64 in some
configurations -- I don't know what causes one to fail and another to
succeed.
By slightly relaxing the checking in operand_type_register_match() we
can fold the vector shift insns with an XMM source as well. While
strictly speaking an overlap in just one size (see the code comment) is
not enough (both operands could have multiple sizes with just a single
common one), this is good enough for all templates we have, or which
could sensibly / usefully appear (within the scope of the present
operand matching model).
Tightening this a little would be possible, but would require broadcast
related information to be passed into the function.

In an earlier patch, I had written that I wanted to add this test:
ptype Wide_Wide_String'("literal")
... but that it failed with the distro GNAT. Further investigation
showed that it could be made to work by adding a function using
Wide_Wide_String to the program -- this caused the type to end up in
the debug info.
This patch adds the test. I'm checking this in.

The -march= intentions are quite clear: A base architecture may be
followed by any number of extensions. Accepting a base architecture in
place of an extension will at best result in confusion, as the first of
the two (or more) items specified simply would not take effect, due to
being overridden by the later one(s).
Setting this field risks cpu_flags_all_zero() mistakenly returning
"false" when the object passed in was e.g. the result of ANDing together
two objects which had the bit set, or ANDNing together an object with
the field set and one with the field clear.
While there also avoid setting CpuNo64: Like Cpu64 this is driven
differently anyway and hence shouldn't be set anywhere by default.
Note that the moving of the two items in i386-gen.c's cpu_flags[] is
only for documentation purposes (and slight reducing of overhead), as
the fields are sorted anyway upon program start.
There's no need for the arbitrary special "unknown" token: Simply
recognize the leading ~ and process everything else the same, merely
recording whether to set individual fields to 1 or 0.
While there exclude CpuIAMCU from CPU_UNKNOWN_FLAGS - CPU_IAMCU_FLAGS
override cpu_arch_flags anyway when -march=iamcu is passed, and there's
no reason to have the stray flag set even if no insn actually is keyed
to it.
Now that {L,K}1OM support is gone, and with it the brokenness in
check_cpu_arch_compatible(), put in place a test making sure that only
extensions can be enabled via .arch for IAMCU, and that the base
architecture cannot be changed.
The checks done by check_cpu_arch_compatible() were halfway sensible
only at the time where only L1OM support was there. The purpose,
however, has always been to prevent bad uses of .arch (turning off the
base CPU "feature" flag) while at the same time permitting extensions to
be enabled / disabled. In order to achieve this (and to prevent
regressions when L1OM and K1OM support are removed)
- set CpuIAMCU in CPU_IAMCU_FLAGS,
- adjust the IAMCU check in the function itself (the other two similarly
broken checks aren't adjusted as they're slated to be removed anyway),
- avoid calling the function for extentions (which would never have the
base "feature" flag set),
- add a new testcase actually exercising ".arch iamcu" (which would also
regress with the planned removal).

Import GNU Readline 8.1
We imported readline 8.1 into GDB. As a consequence bug PR cli/28833
was reported. This bug spotted that, when the user terminated GDB by
sending EOF (usually bound to Ctrl+d), the last prompt would become
corrupted. Here's what happens, the user is sat at a prompt like
this:
(gdb)
And then the user sends EOF (Ctrl+d), we now see this:
quit)
... gdb terminates, and we return to the shell ...
Notice the 'quit' was printed over the prompt.
This problem is a result of readline 8.1 enabling bracketed paste mode
by default. This problem is present in readline 8.0 too, but in that
version of readline bracketed paste mode is off by default, so a user
will not see the bug unless they specifically enable the feature.
Bracketed paste mode is available in readline 7.0 too, but the bug
is not present in this version of readline, see below for why.
What causes this problem is how readline disables bracketed paste
mode. Bracketed paste mode is a terminal feature that is enabled and
disabled by readline emitting a specific escape sequence. The problem
for GDB is that the escape sequence to disable bracketed paste mode
includes a '\r' character at the end, see this thread for more
details:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2018-01/msg00097.html
The change to add the '\r' character to the escape sequence used to
disable bracketed paste mode was introduced between readline 7.0 and
readline 8.0, this is why the bug would not occur when using older
versions of readline (note: I don't know if its even possible to build
GDB using readline 7.0. That really isn't important, I'm just
documenting the history of this issue).
So, the escape sequence to disable bracketed paste mode is emitted
from the readline function rl_deprep_terminal, this is called after
the user has entered a complete command and pressed return, or, if the
user sends EOF.
However, these two cases are slightly different. In the first case,
when the user has entered a command and pressed return, the cursor
will have moved to the next, empty, line, before readline emits the
escape sequence to leave bracketed paste mode. The final '\r'
character moves the cursor back to the beginning of this empty line,
which is harmless.
For the EOF case though, this is not what happens. Instead, the
escape sequence to leave bracketed paste mode is emitted on the same
line as the prompt. The final '\r' moves the cursor back to the start
of the prompt line. This leaves us ready to override the prompt.
It is worth noting, that this is not the intended behaviour of
readline, in rl_deprep_terminal, readline should emit a '\n' character
when EOF is seen. However, due to a bug in readline this does not
happen (the _rl_eof_found flag is never set). This is the first
readline bug that effects GDB.
GDB prints the 'quit' message from command_line_handler (in
event-top.c), this function is called (indirectly) from readline to
process the complete command line, but also in the EOF case (in which
case the command line is set to nullptr). As this is part of the
callback to process a complete command, this is called after readline
has disabled bracketed paste mode (by calling rl_deprep_terminal).
And so, when bracketed paste mode is in use, rl_deprep_terminal leaves
the cursor at the start of the prompt line (in the EOF case), and
command_line_handler then prints 'quit', which overwrites the prompt.
The solution to this problem is to print the 'quit' message earlier,
before rl_deprep_terminal is called. This is easy to do by using the
rl_deprep_term_function hook. It is this hook that usually calls
rl_deprep_terminal, however, if we replace this with a new function,
we can print the 'quit' string, and then call rl_deprep_terminal
ourselves. This allows the 'quit' to be printed before
rl_deprep_terminal is called.
The problem here is that there is no way in rl_deprep_terminal to know
if readline is processing EOF or not, and as a result, we don't know
when we should print 'quit'. This is the second readline bug that
effects GDB.
Both of these readline issues are discussed in this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2022-02/msg00021.html
The result of that thread was that readline was patched to address
both of these issues.
Now it should be easy to backport the readline fix to GDB's in tree
copy of readline, and then change GDB to make use of these fixes to
correctly print the 'quit' string.
However, we are just about to branch GDB 12, and there is concern from
some that changing readline this close to a new release is a risky
idea, see this thread:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-March/186391.html
So, this commit doesn't change readline at all. Instead, this commit
is the smallest possible GDB change in order to avoid the prompt
corruption.
In this commit I change GDB to print the 'quit' string on the line
after the prompt, but only when bracketed paste mode is on. This
avoids the overwriting issue, the user sees this:
(gdb)
quit
... gdb terminates, and returns to the shell ...
This isn't ideal, but is better than the existing behaviour. After
GDB 12 has branched, we can backport the readline fix, and apply a
real fix to GDB.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28833
This started as a patch to implement string concatenation for Ada.
However, while working on this, I looked at how this code could
possibly be called. It turns out there are only two users of
concat_operation: Ada and D. So, in addition to implementing this for
Ada, this patch rewrites value_concat, removing the odd "concatenate
or repeat" semantics, which were completely unused. As Ada and D both
seem to represent strings using TYPE_CODE_ARRAY, this removes the
TYPE_CODE_STRING code from there as well.
eval_op_concat has code to search for an operator overload of
BINOP_CONCAT. However, the operator overloading code is specific to
C++, which does not have this operator. And,
binop_types_user_defined_p rejects this case right at the start, and
value_x_binop does not handle this case. I think this code has been
dead for a very long time. This patch removes it and hoists the
remaining call into concatenation::evaluate, removing eval_op_concat
entirely.
This adds some basic support for Wide_String and Wide_Wide_String to
the Ada expression evaluator. In particular, a string literal may be
converted to a wide or wide-wide string depending on context.
The patch updates an existing test case. Note that another test,
namely something like:
ptype Wide_Wide_String'("literal")
... would be nice to add, but when tested against a distro GNAT, this
did not work (probably due to lack of debuginfo); so, I haven't
included it here.
eval_op_string is only used in a single place -- the implementation of
string_operation. This patch turns it into the
string_operation::evaluate method, removing a bit of extraneous code.
The last two tests in gdb.base/ending-run.exp case fail on Powerpc when the
system does not have the needed glibc debug-info files loaded. In this
case, gdb is not able to determine where execution stopped. This behavior
looks as follows for the test case:
The next to the last test does a next command when the program is stopped
at the closing bracket for main. The message printed is:
0x00007ffff7d01524 in ?? () from /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
which fails to match any of the test_multiple options.
The test then does another next command. On Powerpc, the
message printed it:
Cannot find bounds of current function
The test fails as the output does not match any of the options for the
gdb_test_multiple.
I checked the behavior on Powerpc to see if this is typical.
I ran gdb on the following simple program as shown below.
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
printf("Hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}
gdb ./hello_world
<snip the gdb start info>
Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word"...
Reading symbols from ./hello_world...
(No debugging symbols found in ./hello_world)

So it would seem that the messages seen from the test case are
"normal" output for Powerpc when the debug-info is not available.
The following patch adds the output from Powerpc as an option
to the gdb_test_multiple statement, identifying the output as the expected
output on Powerpc without the needed debug-info files installed.
The patch has been tested on a Power 10 system and an Intel
64-bit system. No additional regression failures were seen on
either platform.
GDB notifies users about user selected thread changes somewhat
inconsistently as mentioned on gdb-patches mailing list here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-February/185989.html
Consider GDB debugging a multi-threaded inferior with both CLI and GDB/MI
interfaces connected to separate terminals.
Assuming inferior is stopped and thread 1 is selected, when a thread
2 is selected using '-thread-select 2' command on GDB/MI terminal:
-thread-select 2
^done,new-thread-id="2",frame={level="0",addr="0x00005555555551cd",func="child_sub_function",args=[],file="/home/jv/Projects/gdb/users_jv_patches/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",fullname="/home/uuu/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",line="30",arch="i386:x86-64"}
(gdb)
and on CLI terminal we get the notification (as expected):
[Switching to thread 2 (Thread 0x7ffff7daa640 (LWP 389659))]
#0 child_sub_function () at /home/uuu/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c:30
30 volatile int dummy = 0;
However, now that thread 2 is selected, if thread 1 is selected
using 'thread-select --thread 1 1' command on GDB/MI terminal
terminal:
-thread-select --thread 1 1
^done,new-thread-id="1",frame={level="0",addr="0x0000555555555294",func="main",args=[],file="/home/jv/Projects/gdb/users_jv_patches/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",fullname="/home/jv/Projects/gdb/users_jv_patches/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",line="66",arch="i386:x86-64"}
(gdb)
but no notification is printed on CLI terminal, despite the fact
that user selected thread has changed.
The problem is that when `-thread-select --thread 1 1` is executed
then thread is switched to thread 1 before mi_cmd_thread_select () is
called, therefore the condition "inferior_ptid != previous_ptid"
there does not hold.
To address this problem, we have to move notification logic up to
mi_cmd_execute () where --thread option is processed and notify
user selected contents observers there if context changes.
However, this in itself breaks GDB/MI because it would cause context
notification to be sent on MI channel. This is because by the time
we notify, MI notification suppression is already restored (done in
mi_command::invoke(). Therefore we had to lift notification suppression
logic also up to mi_cmd_execute (). This change in made distinction
between mi_command::invoke() and mi_command::do_invoke() unnecessary
as all mi_command::invoke() did (after the change) was to call
do_invoke(). So this patches removes do_invoke() and moves the command
execution logic directly to invoke().
With this change, all gdb.mi tests pass, tested on x86_64-linux.
