I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h:
/* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64
or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for
ptrace. Provide one to silence compiler warnings. */
#ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace();
#endif
I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed. First, the
comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had
never even heard of).
But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis
declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C. So if this
declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call
sites pass some arguments. Since we haven't heard anything about this
causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I
conclude that it's not used.
This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ptrace.m4: Don't check for ptrace declaration.
* config.in: Re-generate.
* configure: Re-generate.
* nat/gdb_ptrace.h: Don't declare ptrace if HAVE_DECL_PTRACE is
not defined.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* config.in: Re-generate.
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:

While working on my other scripts to deal with gdb headers, I noticed
that some files were missing include guards. I wrote a script to add
the missing ones, but found that using the obvious names for the
guards ran into clashes -- for example, gdb/nat/linux-nat.h used
"LINUX_NAT_H", but this was also the script's choice for
gdb/linux-nat.h.
So, I changed the script to normalize all include guards in gdb. This
patch is the result.
As usual the script is available here:
https://github.com/tromey/gdb-refactoring-scripts
Tested by rebuilding; I also ran it through "Fedora-x86_64-m64" on the
buildbot.

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/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Building in C++ mode issues ~40 warnings like this:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c: In function ‘int linux_handle_extended_wait(lwp_info*, int, int)’:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:2016:51: warning: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘__ptrace_request’ [-fpermissive]
ptrace (PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, pid, 0, &new_pid);
The issue is that in glibc, ptrace's first parameter is an enum.
That's not a problem if we pick the PTRACE_XXX requests from
sys/ptrace.h, as those will be values of the corresponding enum.
However, we have fallback definitions for PTRACE_XXX symbols when the
system headers miss them (such as PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG above), and those
are plain integer constants. E.g., nat/linux-ptrace.h:
#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
One idea would be to fix this by defining those fallbacks like:
-#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
+#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG ((enum __ptrace_request) 0x4201)
However, while glibc's ptrace uses enum __ptrace_request for first
parameter:
extern long int ptrace (enum __ptrace_request __request, ...) __THROW;
other libc's, like e.g., Android's bionic do not -- in that case, the
first parameter is int:
long ptrace(int request, pid_t pid, void * addr, void * data);
So the fix I came up is to make configure/ptrace.m4 also detect the
type of the ptrace's first parameter and defin PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1, as
already does the for parameters 3-4, and then simply wrap ptrace with
a macro that casts the first argument to the detected type. (I'm
leaving adding a nicer wrapper for when we drop building in C).
While this adds the wrapper, GNU/Linux files won't use it until the
next patch, which makes all native GNU/Linux files include
gdb_ptrace.h.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-07-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* ptrace.m4 (ptrace tests): Test in C++ mode. Try with 'enum
__ptrace_request as first parameter type instead of int.
(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1): Define.
* nat/gdb_ptrace.h [!PTRACE_TYPE_ARG5] (ptrace): Define as wrapper
that casts first argument to PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1.
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-07-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
Now that gdbserver's configure defines PTRACE_TYPE_ARGx etc., we'll be
able to make gdbserver use gdb_ptrace.h too. Move it to the native
target files directory.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-07-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb_ptrace.h: Move ...
* nat/gdb_ptrace.h: ... here.
* inf-ptrace.c: Adjust.
