This adds a new Python function, gdb.Architecture.integer_type, which
can be used to look up an integer type of a given size and
signed-ness. This is useful to avoid dependency on debuginfo when a
particular integer type would be useful.
v2 moves this to be a method on gdb.Architecture and addresses other
review comments.
I noticed that the only caller of ada_value_print_inner is
valprint.c:do_val_print (via ada_language::value_print_inner), meaning
that the try/catch logic in this function is redundant. This patch
removes the wrapper function.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
Today I re-learned that resolve_dynamic_type can return a type for
which is_dynamic_type returns true. This can happen for an array
whose elements have dynamic type -- the array is reported as dynamic,
but resolving the elements would be incorrect, because each element
might have a different type after resolution.
You can see the special case in resolve_dynamic_array_or_string:
if (ary_dim != NULL && ary_dim->code () == TYPE_CODE_ARRAY)
...
else
...
I looked into having the TYPE_CODE_ARRAY case in
is_dynamic_type_internal follow this same logic, but that breaks down
on the gdb.fortran/dynamic-ptype-whatis.exp test case. In particular
this code in fortran_undetermined::evaluate:
value *callee = std::get<0> (m_storage)->evaluate (nullptr, exp, noside);
if (noside == EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS
&& is_dynamic_type (value_type (callee)))
callee = std::get<0> (m_storage)->evaluate (nullptr, exp, EVAL_NORMAL);
... relies on is_dynamic_type returning true for such an array.
I wasn't really sure of the best way to fix this, so in the meantime I
wrote this patch, which documents the oddity so that I might have a
chance of remembering this in the future.
The disassembly tests in "maint selftest" will fail on x86-linux.
This happens because opcodes rejects an attempt to disassemble for an
arch with a 64-bit address size when bfd_vma is 32-bit.
This patch avoids this problem by avoiding the test in this case. I
chose to do it this way because this seems to be the only situation
where opcodes checks the size of bfd_vma.
For v2 of this patch, I've also updated memory_error_test to do the
same thing. This is needed due to the "improve error reporting from
the disassembler" patch.
A build with --disable-unit-tests currently run into:
...
ld: maint.o: in function \
`maintenance_selftest_completer(cmd_list_element*, completion_tracker&,
char const*, char const*)':
src/gdb/maint.c:1183: undefined reference to \
`selftests::for_each_selftest(
gdb::function_view<
void (std::__cxx11::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,
std::allocator<char> > const&)>)'
...
Fix this by guarding the call to selftests::for_each_selftest in
maintenance_selftest_completer with GDB_SELF_TEST, such that the "-verbose"
completion still works.
Rebuild on x86_64-linux and ran gdb.gdb/unittest.exp.
This patch adds readelf support for decoding the exception table
opcode for restoring the RA_AUTH_CODE pseudo register defined by the
EHABI
(https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/releases/download/2021Q1/ehabi32.pdf
Section 10.3).
* readelf.c (decode_arm_unwind_bytecode): Add support to decode
restoring RA_AUTH_CODE pseudo register.
Needed for single stepping in Linux, this adds the or1k implementation
of or1k_software_single_step. Most of the implementation is borrowed
from the bare metal single step code from or1k_single_step_through_delay
which has been extracted and shared in helper function
or1k_delay_slot_p.
This patch adds support for running gdb natively on OpenRISC linux.
Debugging support is provided via the linux PTRACE interface which is
mostly handled by GDB genric code. This patch provides the logic of how
to read and write the ptrace registers between linux and GDB.
Single stepping is privided in a separate patch.
This patch adds gdbserver support for OpenRISC. This has been used for
debugging the glibc port that in being worked on here:
https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-glibc/tree/or1k-port-2
Hence the comment about registers definitions being inline with glibc.

In debug messages, I think it would be more helpful to print ptid using
the simple "pid.lwp.tid" notation in infrun debug messages. I am
currently debugging some fork issues, and find the pid_to_str output not
so useful, as it doesn't tell which process a thread belongs to.
It currently shows up like this:

After the previous commit, it is easy to add completion for selftest
names. Again, this is not particularly high value, but I rarely touched
completion, so it served as a simple example to get some practice.
Change the for_each_selftest_ftype parameter to gdb::function_view, so
that we can pass a lambda that captures things.

This patch adds support for encoding the Return Address Authentication pseudo
register - '.save {ra_auth_code}' as defined by the DWARF ABI - in the

I saw the new -verbose switch to "maint selftests" and thought it would
be nice for it to use the option framework. For example, that makes
having completion easy. It's not that high value, given this is a
maintenance command, but I had never used the framework myself, so it
was a good way to practice.
This patch also adds the "maint set/show selftest verbose" setting. It
would be possible to use option framework without adding the setting,
but using the framework makes adding the option almost trivial, so I
thought why not.

I came across this when running test-case gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp
with a gdb configured without python:
...
builtin_spawn gdb -nw -nx -data-directory data-directory -iex set height 0 \
-iex set width 0 -quiet -iex set height 0 -iex set width 0 \
-ex source outputs/gdb.server/server-kill-python/file1.py^M
FAIL: gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp: ensure inferior is running
Executing on target: kill -9 28535 (timeout = 300)
builtin_spawn -ignore SIGHUP kill -9 28535^M
file1.py:1: Error in sourced command file:^M
Undefined command: "import". Try "help".^M
...
Fix this by testing for python support in the test-case.
Tested on aarch64-linux (with python support disabled) and x86_64-linux (with
python support enabled).
On openSUSE Leap 15.2 aarch64 I ran into:
...
clang-debug-names-debug.S:72: \

...
due to:
...

Fix this by using the /* ... */ comment style instead:
...

Consider a fortran routine where a string variable s is modified:
...
subroutine f(s)
character*(*) s
print *, s
s(1:3) = 'oof'
print *, s
end subroutine f
...
When compiling with optimization level -O1 and printing the type of
variable s we get:
...
$ gdb -q -batch outputs/gdb.opt/fortran-string/fortran-string \
-ex "b f" \
-ex run \
-ex "ptype s"
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4006f7: file fortran-string.f90, line 21.
Breakpoint 1, f (s=..., _s=_s@entry=3) at fortran-string.f90:21
21 subroutine f(s)
type = character*1
...
while with -O0 we have instead:
...
type = character (3)
...
The problem is that the type of s is:
...
<1><2d6>: Abbrev Number: 21 (DW_TAG_string_type)
<2d7> DW_AT_string_length: 0xbf (location list)
<2db> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
...
where the DW_AT_string_length is a location list, a case that is not handled
by attr_to_dynamic_prop.
Fix this by handling attr->form_is_section_offset () in attr_to_dynamic_prop.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
The test-case is based on gdb.opt/fortran-string.exp from
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/raw/f32/f/gdb-archer-vla-tests.patch .
I've updated the copyrights to stretch to 2021.

GDB test fails while running the test case gdb.cp/koenig.exp using
clang compiler:
[...]
p foo (p_union)
No symbol "p_union" in current context.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/koenig.exp: p foo (p_union)
[...]
In the testcase, "p_union" is an unused/uninitialized variable of
anonymous union type. Clang does not emit symbol for unused anonymous
union/struct variables at any optimization level. Since the compiler
itself is not emitting the symbol for "p_union", debug info is also
not emitted when built with debug option. If the anonymous union is
initialized (or used), then clang emits the symbol "p_union" which
enables emitting debug info for "p_union".
[...]
p foo (p_union)
Cannot resolve function foo to any overloaded instance
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/koenig.exp: p foo (p_union)

A recent internal change pointed out that watchpoints were not working
on Windows when the inferior was multi-threaded. This happened
because the debug registers were only updated for certain threads --
in particular, those that were being resumed and that were not marked
as suspended. In the case of single-stepping, the need to update the
debug registers in other threads could also be "forgotten".
This patch changes windows-nat.c to mark all threads needing a debug
register update. This brings the code closer to what gdbserver does
(though, unfortunately, it still seems more complicated than needed).
On OBS I ran into this failure with test-case
gdb.debuginfod/fetch_src_and_symbols.exp:
...
Failed to listen for connections: Address already in use^M
[Thu Oct 21 11:48:49 2021] (559/559): started http server on IPv6 port=8000^M
...
FAIL: gdb.debuginfod/fetch_src_and_symbols.exp: local_url: find port timeout
...
The test-case is trying to start debuginfod on a port to see if it's
available, and it handles either this message:
"started http server on IPv4 IPv6 port=$port"
meaning success, or:
"failed to bind to port"
meaning failure, in which case the debuginfod instance is killed, and we try
the next port.
The test-case only uses the v4 address 127.0.0.1, so fix this by:
- accepting "started http server on IPv4 port=$port"
- rejecting "started http server on IPv6 port=$port"
Tested on x86_64-linux.
When building on ARM (32-bits), we errors like this:
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/value.c: In function 'gdb::array_view<const unsigned char> value_contents_for_printing(value*)':

1252 | return {value->contents.get (), length};
| ^~~~~~
Fix that by using gdb::make_array_view, which does the appropriate
conversion.

If built as a shared library, libopcodes has a load-time dependency on
libbfd, which is recorded in the dynamic section, however without a
corresponding RPATH entry for the directory to find libbfd in. This
causes loading to fail whenever libbfd is only pulled by libopcodes
indirectly and libbfd has been installed in a directory that is not in
the dynamic loader's search path.
It does not happen with the programs included with binutils or GDB,
because they all also pull libbfd when using libopcodes, but it can
happen with external software, e.g.:
$ gdbserver --help
gdbserver: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-[...].so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$
(not our `gdbserver').
Indirect dynamic dependencies are handled by libtool automatically by
adding RPATH entries as required, however our setup for libopcodes
prevents this from happening by linking in libbfd with an explicit file
reference sneaked through to the linker directly behind libtool's back
via the `-Wl' linker command-line option rather than via `-l' combined
with a suitable library search path specified via `-L', as it would be
usually the case, or just referring to the relevant .la file in a fully
libtool-enabled configuration such as ours.
According to an observation in the discussion back in 2007[1][2][3] that
has led to the current arrangement it is to prevent libtool from picking
up the wrong version of libbfd. It does not appear to be needed though,
not at least with our current libtool incarnation, as directly referring
`libbfd.la' does exactly what it should, as previously suggested[4], and
with no link-time reference to the installation directory other than to
set RPATH. Uninstalled version of libopcodes has libbfd's build-time
location prepended to RPATH too, as also expected.
Use a direct reference to `libbfd.la' then, making the load error quoted
above go away. Alternatively `-L' and `-l' could be used to the same
effect, but it seems an unnecessary complication and just another way to
circumvent rather than making use of libtool.
