This is more preparation bits for multi-target support.
In a multi-target scenario, we need to address the case of different
processes/threads running on different targets that happen to have the
same PID/PTID. E.g., we can have both process 123 in target 1, and
process 123 in target 2, while they're in reality different processes
running on different machines. Or maybe we've loaded multiple
instances of the same core file. Etc.
To address this, in my WIP multi-target branch, threads and processes
are uniquely identified by the (process_stratum target_ops *, ptid_t)
and (process_stratum target_ops *, pid) tuples respectively. I.e.,
each process_stratum instance has its own thread/process number space.
As you can imagine, that requires passing around target_ops * pointers
in a number of functions where we're currently passing only a ptid_t
or an int. E.g., when we look up a thread_info object by ptid_t in
find_thread_ptid, the ptid_t alone isn't sufficient.
In many cases though, we already have the thread_info or inferior
pointer handy, but we "lose" it somewhere along the call stack, only
to look it up again by ptid_t/pid. Since thread_info or inferior
objects know their parent target, if we pass around thread_info or
inferior pointers when possible, we avoid having to add extra
target_ops parameters to many functions, and also, we eliminate a
number of by ptid_t/int lookups.
So that's what this patch does. In a bit more detail:
- Changes a number of functions and methods to take a thread_info or
inferior pointer instead of a ptid_t or int parameter.
- Changes a number of structure fields from ptid_t/int to inferior or
thread_info pointers.
- Uses the inferior_thread() function whenever possible instead of
inferior_ptid.
- Uses thread_info pointers directly when possible instead of the
is_running/is_stopped etc. routines that require a lookup.
- A number of functions are eliminated along the way, such as:
int valid_gdb_inferior_id (int num);
int pid_to_gdb_inferior_id (int pid);
int gdb_inferior_id_to_pid (int num);
int in_inferior_list (int pid);
- A few structures and places hold a thread_info pointer across
inferior execution, so now they take a strong reference to the
(refcounted) thread_info object to avoid the thread_info pointer
getting stale. This is done in enable_thread_stack_temporaries and
in the infcall.c code.
- Related, there's a spot in infcall.c where using a RAII object to
handle the refcount would be handy, so a gdb::ref_ptr specialization
for thread_info is added (thread_info_ref, in gdbthread.h), along
with a gdb_ref_ptr policy that works for all refcounted_object types
(in common/refcounted-object.h).

TYPE_TAG_NAME has been an occasional source of confusion and bugs. It
seems to me that it is only useful for C and C++ -- but even there,
not so much, because at least with DWARF there doesn't seem to be any
way to wind up with a type where the name and the tag name are both
non-NULL and different.
So, this patch removes TYPE_TAG_NAME entirely. This should save a
little memory, but more importantly, it simplifies this part of gdb.
A few minor test suite adjustments were needed. In some situations
the new code does not yield identical output to the old code.

It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI
will print the "set" help text by default. I think usually "set"
commands should be silent. And, while you can modify this behavior a
bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an
empty string, a blank line will be printed.
This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string
behavior to avoid printing a blank line. The code has a comment about
preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important;
and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is
trivial.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 26.

This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at

This removes a VEC from type.c, by using std::vector.
While doing this I also took the opportunity to change
types_deeply_equal to return bool. This caught some weird code in
typy_richcompare, now fixed.
And, since I was changing types_deeply_equal, it seemed like a good
idea to also change types_equal, so this patch includes that as well.

The function interp_ui_out simply calls the interp_ui_out method.
However, if it is passed a NULL interpreter, it first finds the
current interpreter. I believe, though, that NULL is never passed
here, and I think it's simpler to just remove this function and
require callers to be more explicit.

Currently command lines are reference counted using shared_ptr only
when attached to breakpoints. This patch changes gdb to use
shared_ptr in commands as well. This allows for the removal of
copy_command_lines.
Note that the change to execute_user_command explicitly makes a new
reference to the command line. This will be used in a later patch.
This simplifies struct command_line based on the observation that a
given command can have at most two child bodies: an "if" can have both
"then" and "else" parts. Perhaps the names I've chosen for the
replacements here are not very good -- your input requested.

Add new set/show commands to set the processor that is used for enabling
errata workarounds when decoding branch trace.
The general format is "<vendor>:<identifier>" but we also allow two
special values "auto" and "none".
The default is "auto", which is the current behaviour of having GDB
determine the processor on which the trace was recorded.
If that cpu is not known to the trace decoder, e.g. when using an old
decoder on a new system, decode may fail with "unknown cpu". In most
cases it should suffice to 'downgrade' decode to assume an older cpu.
Unfortunately, we can't do this automatically.
The other special value, "none", disables errata workarounds.

struct value is internally reference counted and so, while it also has
some ownership rules unique to it, it makes sense to use a gdb_ref_ptr
when managing it automatically.
This patch removes the existing unique_ptr specialization in favor of
a reference-counted pointer. It also introduces two other
clarifications:
1. Rename value_free to value_decref, which I think is more in line
with what the function actually does; and
2. Change release_value to return a gdb_ref_ptr. This change allows
us to remove the confusing release_value_or_incref function,
primarily by making it much simpler to reason about the result of
release_value.

PR python/16497 notes that using "bt" with a positive argument prints
the wrong number of frames when a frame filter is in use. Also, in this
case, the non-frame-filter path will print a message about "More stack
frames" when there are more; but this is not done in the frame-filter
case.
The first problem is that backtrace_command_1 passes the wrong value
to apply_ext_lang_frame_filter -- that function takes the final
frame's number as an argument, but backtrace_command_1 passes the
count, which is off by one.
The solution to the second problem is to have the C stack-printing
code stop at the correct number of frames and then print the message.

This happens because Python headers define 'hypot' to expand to
'_hypot' in the Windows builds.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-01-27 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* python/python-internal.h (_hypot) [__MINGW32__]: Define back to
'hypoth'. This avoids a compilation error.
I think that the clone method of xmethod_worker can be removed. It is
only used in find_overload_match, to clone an xmethod we want to
keep. Instead, we can just std::move it out of the vector and into
value_from_xmethod. value_from_xmethod creates a value that will own
the xmethod_worker from that point. Other xmethod_workers left in the
vector will get destroyed when the vector gets destroyed, but the chosen
one will keep living inside the value struct.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* extension.h (struct xmethod_worker) <clone>: Remove.
* python/py-xmethods.c (struct python_xmethod_worker) <clone>:
Remove.
(python_xmethod_worker::clone): Remove.
* valops.c (find_overload_match): Use std::move instead of
clone.
The initial goal of this patch was to remove the usage of
VEC(xmethod_worker_ptr) and corresponding cleanups. I ended up having
to C++ify the xmethod_worker code, to be able to have xmethod_workers
free their data in destructors, and therefore be able to use vectors of
xmethod_worker unique_ptr.
The operations in extension_language_ops that act on one instance of
xmethod_worker (get result type, get args type, invoke) are transformed
to methods of xmethod_worker. xmethod_worker becomes an abstract base
class with virtual pure methods which python_xmethod_worker implements.
The only xmethod-related operation left in extension_language_ops is
get_matching_xmethod_workers, which returns a list of xmethod_workers.
The changes are relatively straightforward, but here are some notes on
things that may raise eyebrows:
- I was not really comfortable with the value_of_xmethod function. At
first it looks like a simple getter, so I considered making it a
method of xmethod_worker. But actually it creates a value and
transfers the ownership of the xmethod_worker to it. It would be a
bit weird and error-prone if calling a method on an object silently
removed the ownership of the object from the caller. To reflect the
behavior more accurately, I renamed it to value_from_xmethod and made
it accept an rvalue-reference (so the caller knows it gives away the
ownership). I noticed the backlink from xmethod_worker to its owning
value was not used, so I removed it.
- Some code, like get_matching_xmethod_workers, made each callee fill
a new vector, which was then merged in the result vector. I think
it's safe if we always pass the same vector around, and each
implementation just appends to it.
- The clone operation does not seem particularly useful, it is removed
in the following patch.

In Python 3, the 'p' format specifier can be passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords to test the argument for truth and convert
it to a boolean value (the p stands for predicate). However, it is not
available in Python 2, causing this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
b1 = gdb.Breakpoint("foo", qualified=False)
TypeError: argument 10 (impossible<bad format char>)
This patch changes it to the 'O' specifier, which returns the Python
object passed in without transformation, and uses PyObject_IsTrue on it.
This is what is done for the other boolean parameters of this function
(internal and temporary).
This fixes the test gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp for Python 2.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Use 'O' format specifier
for "qualified" and use PyObject_IsTrue.
This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python. It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec. The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).
Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec. Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.
I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test. To be able to test multiple
locations using a namespace, I had to switch the test case to compile as
C++. If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* location.h (string_to_event_location): Add match_type
parameter.
* location.c (string_to_event_location): Likewise.
* python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Handle qualified
parameter.

This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
(anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
(gdb) b B::function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)
To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit). For example:
(gdb) b B::function
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
vs:
(gdb) b -qualified B::function
B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const
I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".
Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations. I.e., these are equivalent:
(gdb) b -q func
(gdb) b -q -f func
and so are these:
(gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
(gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q
To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.
(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)
Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:
- makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
last-component name only).
- adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.
- adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
they mean it.
- adds new testsuite tests.
- adds unit tests.
Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this:
-# of expected passes 7823
+# of expected passes 8977

While playing with valgrind, I noticed that with Python 3, the progname
variable in do_start_initialization is not being freed (concat returns a
malloc'ed string). This patch uses unique_xmalloc_ptr to manage it.
With Python 2, we pass progname it directly to Py_SetProgramName, so it
should not be freed. We therefore release it before passing it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Change progname
type to gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr. Release the pointer when using

If you happen to press Ctrl-C while GDB is running the Python unwinder
machinery, the Ctrl-C is swallowed by the Python unwinder machinery.
For example, with:
break foo
commands
> c
> end
and
while (1)
foo ();
and then let the inferior hit "foo" repeatedly, sometimes Ctrl-C
results in:
~~~
23 usleep (100);
Breakpoint 2, foo () at gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.c:23
23 usleep (100);
^C
Breakpoint 2, Python Exception <class 'KeyboardInterrupt'> <class 'KeyboardInterrupt'>:
foo () at gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.c:23
23 usleep (100);
Breakpoint 2, foo () at gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.c:23
23 usleep (100);
Breakpoint 2, foo () at gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.c:23
23 usleep (100);
~~~
Notice the Python exception above. The interesting thing here is that
GDB continues as if nothing happened, doesn't really stop and give
back control to the user. Instead, the Ctrl-C aborted the Python
unwinder sniffer and GDB moved on to just use another unwinder.
Fix this by translating a PyExc_KeyboardInterrupt back into a Quit
exception once back in GDB.
This was exposed by the new gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp
testcase added later in the series.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-16 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* python/py-unwind.c (pyuw_sniffer): Translate
PyExc_KeyboardInterrupt to a GDB Quit exception.
The last remaing use for DOUBLEST is in the code that interfaces to the
scripting languages (Python and Guile). The problem here is that we
expose interfaces to convert a GDB value to and from native values of
floating-point type in those languages, and those by definition use
the host floating-point format.
While we cannot completely eliminate conversions to/from the host
floating-point format here, we still need to get rid of the uses
of value_as_double / value_from_double, since those will go away.
This patch implements two new target-float.c routine:
- target_float_to_host_double
- target_float_from_host_double
which convert to/from a host "double". Those should only ever be
used where a host "double" is mandated by an external interface.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-06 Ulrich Weigand <uweigand@de.ibm.com>
* target-float.c (floatformat_to_host_double): New function.

This patch introduces the new set of target floating-point handling routines
in target-float.{c,h}. In the end, the intention is that this file will
contain support for all operations in target FP format, fully replacing
both the current doublest.{c,h} and dfp.{c,h}.
To begin with, this patch only adds a target_float_is_zero routine,
which handles the equivalent of decimal_is_zero for both binary and
decimal FP. For the binary case, to avoid conversion to DOUBLEST,
this is implemented using the floatformat_classify routine.
However, it turns out that floatformat_classify actually has a bug
(it was not used to check for zero before), so this is fixed as well.
The new routine is used in both value_logical_not and valpy_nonzero.
There is one extra twist: the code previously used value_as_double
to convert to DOUBLEST and then compare against zero. That routine
performs an extra task: it detects invalid floating-point values
and raises an error. In any place where value_as_double is removed
in favor of some target-float.c routine, we need to replace that check.
To keep this check centralized in one place, I've added a new routine
is_floating_value, which returns a boolean determining whether a
value's type is floating point (binary or decimal), and if so, also
performs the validity check. Since we need to check whether a value
is FP before calling any of the target-float routines anyway, this
seems a good place to add the check without much code size overhead.
In some places where we only want to check for floating-point types
and not perform a validity check (e.g. for the *output* of an operation),
we can use the new is_floating_type routine (in gdbarch) instead.
The validity check itself is done by a new target_float_is_valid
routine in target-float, encapsulating floatformat_is_valid.

This adds two add_cmd overloads: one whose callback takes a const char *,
and one that doesn't accept a function at all. The no-function overload
was introduced to avoid ambiguity when NULL was passed as the function.
Long term the goal is for all commands to take const arguments, and
for the non-const variants to be removed entirely.

* cli/cli-decode.c (add_cmd, set_cmd_cfunc): New function
overloads.

* cli/cli-decode.h (struct cmd_list_element) <function>: New field
const_cfunc.

overload.
This changes find_frame_funname to return a unique_xmalloc_ptr and
then fixes up the callers. This removes several cleanups.

(print_frame): Update.
This renames a few functions -- skip_spaces_const,
skip_to_space_const, get_number_const, extract_arg_const -- to drop
the "_const" suffix and instead rely on overloading.
This makes future const fixes simpler by reducing the number of lines
that must be changed. I think it is also not any less clear, as all
these functions have the same interface as their non-const versions by
design. Furthermore there's an example of using an overload in-tree
already, namely check_for_argument.
This patch was largely created using some perl one-liners; then a few
fixes were applied by hand.

The first patch in this series went through several iterations as I'd
forgotten how many places had to be touched to add a new event and a
new event type.
This patch simplifies the process using two new ".def" files. Now, a
new event type can be added by adding a line to "py-event-types.def",
and a new event registry can be added by adding a line to
"py-all-events.def".

It seems cleaner to me for functions like create_thread_event_object,
which pass object ownership to their callers, to directly return a
gdb_ref<>. This way the ownership transfer is part of the API. This
patch makes this change.

The fact that GDB defaults to assuming that functions return int, when
it has no debug info for the function has been a recurring source of
user confusion. Recently this came up on the errno pretty printer
discussions. Shortly after, it came up again on IRC, with someone
wondering why does getenv() in GDB return a negative int:
(gdb) p getenv("PATH")
$1 = -6185
This question (with s/getenv/random-other-C-runtime-function) is a FAQ
on IRC.
The reason for the above is:
(gdb) p getenv
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x7ffff7751d80 <getenv>
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = int ()
... which means that GDB truncated the 64-bit pointer that is actually
returned from getent to 32-bit, and then sign-extended it:
(gdb) p /x -6185
$6 = 0xffffe7d7
The workaround is to cast the function to the right type, like:
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH")
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
IMO, we should do better than this.
I see the "assume-int" issue the same way I see printing bogus values
for optimized-out variables instead of "<optimized out>" -- I'd much
rather that the debugger tells me "I don't know" and tells me how to
fix it than showing me bogus misleading results, making me go around
tilting at windmills.
If GDB prints a signed integer when you're expecting a pointer or
aggregate, you at least have some sense that something is off, but
consider the case of the function actually returning a 64-bit integer.
For example, compile this without debug info:
unsigned long long
function ()
{
return 0x7fffffffffffffff;
}
Currently, with pristine GDB, you get:
(gdb) p function ()
$1 = -1 # incorrect
(gdb) p /x function ()
$2 = 0xffffffff # incorrect
maybe after spending a few hours debugging you suspect something is
wrong with that -1, and do:
(gdb) ptype function
type = int ()
and maybe, just maybe, you realize that the function actually returns
unsigned long long. And you try to fix it with:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
... which still produces the wrong result, because GDB simply applied
int to unsigned long long conversion. Meaning, it sign-extended the
integer that it extracted from the return of the function, to 64-bits.
and then maybe, after asking around on IRC, you realize you have to
cast the function to a pointer of the right type, and call that. It
won't be easy, but after a few missteps, you'll get to it:
..... (gdb) p /x ((unsigned long long(*) ()) function) ()
$666 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # finally! :-)
So to improve on the user experience, this patch does the following
(interrelated) things:
- makes no-debug-info functions no longer default to "int" as return
type. Instead, they're left with NULL/"<unknown return type>"
return type.
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = <unknown return type> ()
- makes calling a function with unknown return type an error.
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
- and then to make it easier to call the function, makes it possible
to _only_ cast the return of the function to the right type,
instead of having to cast the function to a function pointer:
(gdb) p (char *) getenv ("PATH") # now Just Works
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH") # continues working
$4 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
I.e., it makes GDB default the function's return type to the type
of the cast, and the function's parameters to the type of the
arguments passed down.
After this patch, here's what you'll get for the "unsigned long long"
example above:
(gdb) p function ()
'function' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # correct!
Note that while with "print" GDB shows the name of the function that
has the problem:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This will be fixed in the next patch.

Instead, make symtab_and_line initialize its members itself. Many

initialized at the same time both for clarity and to avoid double

This replaces "struct symtabs_and_lines" with
std::vector<symtab_and_line> in most cases. This removes a number of
cleanups.
In some cases, the sals objects do not own the sals they point at.
Instead they point at some sal that lives on the stack. Typically
something like this:
struct symtab_and_line sal;
struct symtabs_and_lines sals;
// fill in sal
sals.nelts = 1;
sals.sals = &sal;
// use sals
Instead of switching those cases to std::vector too, such usages are
replaced by gdb::array_view<symtab_and_line> instead. This avoids
introducing heap allocations.

This introduces gdb_argv, a class wrapping an "argv" pointer; that is,
a pointer to a NULL-terminated array of char*, where both the array

This patch reworks the whole completion machinery, and prepares it
for later enhancements.
Adds a new "completion_tracker" class that is meant to hold everything
about the state of the current completion operation.
This class now has the responsibility of tracking the list of
completion matches, and checking whether the max completions limit has
been reached. You can look at this as this patch starting out by
C++fying the existing "completion_tracker" in symtab.c (it's just an
htab_t typedef currently), moving it to completer.h/c, and then making
it a class/generalizing/enhancing it.
Unlike with the current tracking, completion_tracker now checks
whether the limit has been reached on each completion match list
insertion. This both simplifies the max-completions handling code
(maybe_add_completion_enum is gone, for example), and is a
prerequisite for follow up patches.
The current completion_tracker is only used for symbol completions,
and the symbol code gets at the current instance via globals. This
patch cleans that up by adding a completion_tracker reference to the
signature of the completion functions, and passing the tracker around
everywhere necessary.
Then, the patch changes how the completion match list is handed over
to readline. Currently, we're using the rl_completion_entry_function
readline entry point, and the patch switches to
rl_attempted_completion_function. A following patch will want to let
GDB itself decide the common completion prefix between all matches
(what readline calls the "lowest common denominator"), instead of
having readline compute it, and that's not possible with the
rl_completion_entry_function entry point. Also,
rl_attempted_completion_function lets GDB hand over the match list to
readline as an array in one go instead of passing down matches one by
one, so from that angle it's a nicer entry point anyway.
Lastly, the patch catches exceptions around the readline entry points,
because we can't let C++ exceptions cross readline. We handle that in
the readline input entry point, but the completion entry point isn't
guarded, so GDB can abort if completion throws. E.g., in current
master:
(gdb) b -function "fun<tab>
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted (core dumped)
This patch fixes that. This will be exercised in the new tests added
later on in the series.

This patch cleans up "completer_handle_brkchars" callback handling:
- Renames the function typedef to better match its intent:
completer_ftype_void -> completer_handle_brkchars_ftype
- Factors out common code in complete_line_internal handling the
"handle_brkchars" callback to a separate function.
- Centralizes all the "completer method" to "handle_brkchars method"
mapping in a single function.

The gdb.python/py-unwind.exp test is crashing GDB / leaving core dumps
in the test dir, even though it all passes cleanly. The crash is not
visible in gdb.sum/gdb.log because it happens as side effect of the
"quit" command, while flushing the frame cache.
The problem is simply a typo in a 'for' loop's condition, introduced
by a recent change [4fa847d78e ("Remove MAX_REGISTER_SIZE from
py-unwind.c")], resulting in infinite loop / double-free.
The new test exposes the crash, like:

As discussed here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-04/msg00157.html
A gap is not an instruction and it should not pretend to be one.
gdb.Record.instruction_history is now a list of gdb.RecordInstruction and
gdb.RecordGap objects. This allows the user to deal with Gaps in the record
in a more sane way.
The user would always get the instruction_history and function_call_history
objects of the current thread, not the thread for which the gdb.Record object
was created.
The attached testcase fails without this patch and passes with the patch.
The test py-inferior.exp fails when using a debug build of Python 3.6. I don't
see it failing with my system's default Python, but it might be related to the
different memory allocation scheme used when doing a build with pydebug.
The issue is that we are missing a Py_INCREF in
inferior_to_inferior_object. The PyObject_New function initializes the
object with a refcount of 1. If we assume that this refcount
corresponds to the reference we are returning, then we are missing an
incref for the reference in the inferior data.
The counterpart for the incref that corresponds to the reference in the
inferior data is in py_free_inferior, in the form the gdbpy_ref instance.
Here's how I can get it to crash (with some debug output):
$ ./gdb -nx -ex "set debug python 1"
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) python infs = gdb.inferiors()
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 1
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 2
(gdb) remove-inferiors 2
py_free_inferior inf = 2
infpy_dealloc inf = <unknown>
(gdb) python infs = None
Fatal Python error: Objects/tupleobject.c:243 object at 0x7f9cf1a568d8 has negative ref count -1
Current thread 0x00007f9cf1b68780 (most recent call first):
File "<string>", line 1 in <module>
[1] 408 abort (core dumped) ./gdb -nx -ex "set debug python 1"
After having created the inferiors object, their refcount is 1 (which
comes from PyObject_New), but it should be two. The gdb inferior object
has a reference and the "infs" list has a reference.
When invoking remove-inferiors, py_free_inferior gets called. It does
the decref that corresponds to the reference that the gdb inferior
object kept. At this moment, the refcount drops to 0 and the object
gets deallocated, even though the "infs" list still has a reference.
When we set "infs" to None, Python tries to decref the already zero
refcount and the assert triggers.
With this patch, it looks better:
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) python infs = gdb.inferiors()
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 1
Creating Python Inferior object inf = 2
(gdb) remove-inferiors 2
py_free_inferior inf = 2

static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []".
We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this:
- static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
+ static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer
works OOTB, because PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords expects a "char **":
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw,
const char *format,
char *keywords[], ...);
and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **". C++
is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **>
is fine. However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves,
this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here
with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a
single place.

Unfortunately, PyGetSetDef's 'name' and 'doc' members are 'char *'
instead of 'const char *', meaning that in order to list-initialize
PyGetSetDef arrays using string literals requires writing explicit
'char *' casts. For example:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
- { "address", valpy_get_address, NULL, "The address of the value.",
+ { (char *) "address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
+ (char *) "The address of the value.",
NULL },
- { "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
+ { (char *) "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
"out (i.e., not available).",
NULL },
- { "type", valpy_get_type, NULL, "Type of the value.", NULL },
- { "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
- "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
- { "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
+ { (char *) "type", valpy_get_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
from the inferior). A lazy value is fetched when needed, or when\n\
the \"fetch_lazy()\" method is called.", NULL },
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
We have ~20 such arrays, and I first wrote a patch that fixed all of
them like that... It's not pretty...
One way to make these a bit less ugly would be add a new macro that
hides the casts, like:
#define GDBPY_GSDEF(NAME, GET, SET, DOC, CLOSURE) \
{ (char *) NAME, GET, SET, (char *) DOC, CLOSURE }
and then use it like:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
GDBPY_GSDEF ("address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
"The address of the value.", NULL),
GDBPY_GSDEF ("is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
"Boolean telling whether the value is optimized ", NULL),
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
};
But since we have C++11, which gives us constexpr and list
initialization, I thought of a way that requires no changes where the
arrays are initialized:
We add a new type that extends PyGetSetDef (called gdb_PyGetSetDef),
and add constexpr constructors that accept const 'name' and 'doc', and
then list/aggregate initialization simply "calls" these matching
constructors instead.
I put "calls" in quotes, because given "constexpr", it's all done at
compile time, and there's no overhead either in binary size or at run
time. In fact, we get identical binaries, before/after this change.
Unlike the fixes that fix some old Python API to match the API of more
recent Python, this switches to using explicit "gdb_PyGetSetDef"
everywhere, just to be clear that we are using our own version of it.

The patch "Fix memory leak in python.c:do_start_initialization"
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00407.html) introduced a
compilation error on some platforms:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python.c: In function bool do_start_initialization():
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python.c:1556:16: error: invalid conversion from const void* to void* [-fpermissive]
xfree (libdir);
^
This is fixed by removing the constness of libdir's data type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Remove 'const' from
data type of libdir.
When intializing Python the path to the python binary is build the
following way
progname = concat (ldirname (python_libdir), SLASH_STRING, "bin",
SLASH_STRING, "python", (char *) NULL);
This is problematic as both concat and ldirname allocate memory for the
string they return. Thus the memory allocated by ldirname cannot be
accessed afterwards causing a memory leak. Fix it by temporarily storing
libdir in a variable and xfree it after concat.

This patch introduces a bit of infrastructure -- namely, a minimal
std::optional analogue called gdb::optional, and an RAII template
class that works like make_cleanup_ui_out_tuple_begin_end or
make_cleanup_ui_out_list_begin_end -- and then uses these in the
Python code. This removes a number of cleanups and generally
simplifies this code.
std::optional is only available in C++17. Normally I would have had
this code check __cplusplus, but my gcc apparently isn't new enough to
find <optional>, even with -std=c++1z; so, because I could not test
it, the patch does not do this.

This patch starts from the desire to eliminate
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete, but then goes beyond. It makes ui_file &
friends a real C++ class hierarchy, and switches temporary
ui_file-like objects to stack-based allocation.
- mem_fileopen -> string_file
mem_fileopen is replaced with a new string_file class that is treated
as a value class created on the stack. This alone eliminates most
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete calls, and, simplifies code a whole lot
(diffstat shows around 1k loc dropped.)
string_file's internal buffer is a std::string, thus the "string" in
the name. This simplifies the implementation much, compared to
mem_fileopen, which managed growing its internal buffer manually.
- ui_file_as_string, ui_file_strdup, ui_file_obsavestring all gone
The new string_file class has a string() method that provides direct
writable access to the internal std::string buffer. This replaced
ui_file_as_string, which forced a copy of the same data the stream had
inside. With direct access via a writable reference, we can instead
move the string out of the string_stream, avoiding deep string
copying.
Related, ui_file_xstrdup calls are replaced with xstrdup'ping the
stream's string, and ui_file_obsavestring is replaced by
obstack_copy0.
With all those out of the way, getting rid of the weird ui_file_put
mechanism was possible.
- New ui_file::printf, ui_file::puts, etc. methods
These simplify / clarify client code. I considered splitting
client-code changes, like these, e.g.:
- stb = mem_fileopen ();
- fprintf_unfiltered (stb, "%s%s%s",
- _("The valid values are:\n"),
- regdesc,
- _("The default is \"std\"."));
+ string_file stb;
+ stb.printf ("%s%s%s",
+ _("The valid values are:\n"),
+ regdesc,
+ _("The default is \"std\"."));
In two steps, with the first step leaving fprintf_unfiltered (etc.)
calls in place, and only afterwards do a pass to change all those to
call stb.printf etc.. I didn't do that split, because (when I tried),
it turned out to be pointless make-work: the first pass would have to
touch the fprintf_unfiltered line anyway, to replace "stb" with
"&stb".
- gdb_fopen replaced with stack-based objects
This avoids the need for cleanups or unique_ptr's. I.e., this:
struct ui_file *file = gdb_fopen (filename, "w");
if (filename == NULL)
perror_with_name (filename);
cleanups = make_cleanup_ui_file_delete (file);
// use file.
do_cleanups (cleanups);
is replaced with this:
stdio_file file;
if (!file.open (filename, "w"))
perror_with_name (filename);
// use file.
- odd contorsions in null_file_write / null_file_fputs around when to
call to_fputs / to_write eliminated.
- Global null_stream object
A few places that were allocating a ui_file in order to print to
"nowhere" are adjusted to instead refer to a new 'null_stream' global
stream.
- TUI's tui_sfileopen eliminated. TUI's ui_file much simplified
The TUI's ui_file was serving a dual purpose. It supported being used
as string buffer, and supported being backed by a stdio FILE. The
string buffer part is gone, replaced by using of string_file. The
'FILE *' support is now much simplified, by making the TUI's ui_file
inherit from stdio_file.

Since the reference to the Inferior Python object is managed by
gdbpy_ref (RAII), we can return directly from the loop. It's just a
leftover from the cleanups era.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (find_thread_object): Return directly
from the loop. Remove "found" variable.
When the gdbpy_ref objects get destroyed, they call Py_DECREF to
decrement the reference counter of the python object they hold a
reference to. Any time we call into the Python API, we should be
holding the GIL. The gdbpy_enter object does that for us in an
RAII-fashion.
However, if gdbpy_enter is declared after a gdbpy_ref object in a
function, gdbpy_enter's destructor will be called (and the GIL will be
released) before gdbpy_ref's destructor is called. Therefore, we will
end up calling Py_DECREF without holding the GIL.
This became obvious with Python 3.6, where memory management functions
have asserts to make sure that the GIL is held. This was exposed by
tests py-as-string.exp, py-function.exp and py-xmethods. For example:
(gdb) p $_as_string(enum_valid)

The fix is to place the gdbpy_enter first in the function. I also
cleaned up the comments a bit and removed the unnecessary initialization
of the value variable.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-function.c (fnpy_call): Reorder declarations to have
the gdbpy_enter object declared first.
* python/py-xmethods.c (gdbpy_get_xmethod_arg_types): Likewise.
New in v2:
- Define PyMem_RawMalloc as PyMem_Malloc for Python < 3.4 and use
PyMem_RawMalloc in the code.
Since Python 3.4, the callback installed in PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer
should return a value allocated with PyMem_RawMalloc instead of
PyMem_Malloc. The reason is that PyMem_Malloc must be called with the
Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) held, which is not the case in the
context where this function is called. PyMem_RawMalloc was introduced
for cases like this.
In Python 3.6, it looks like they added an assert to verify that
PyMem_Malloc was not called without the GIL. The consequence is that
typing anything in the python-interactive mode of gdb crashes the
process. The same behavior was observed with the official package on
Arch Linux as well as with a manual Python build on Ubuntu 14.04.
This is what is shown with a debug build of Python 3.6 (the error with a
non-debug build is far less clear):
(gdb) pi

This replaces a cleanup in execute_gdb_command with an instance of
std::string.
Testing showed that this originally missed a cleanup that was returned
by prevent_dont_repeat. This version of the patch changes
prevent_dont_repeat to return a scoped_restore rather than a cleanup.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* top.c (prevent_dont_repeat): Change return type.
* python/python.c (execute_gdb_command): Use std::string.
Update.
* guile/guile.c (gdbscm_execute_gdb_command): Update.
* command.h (prevent_dont_repeat): Change return type.
* breakpoint.c (bpstat_do_actions_1): Update.
This adds a scoped_value_mark class, that records the value mark in
the constructor and then calls value_free_to_mark in the destructor.
It then updates various spots in gdb to use this class, rather than a
cleanup.
It would be better overall to replace "struct value *" with a
shared_ptr, maybe eliminating the need for this class (watchpoints
would perhaps need some new mechanism as well). However, that's
difficult to do.

This introduces a new specialization of gdb::ref_ptr that can be used
to manage BFD reference counts. Then it changes most places in gdb to
use this new class, rather than explicit reference-counting or
cleanups. This patch removes make_cleanup_bfd_unref.
If you look you will see a couple of spots using "release" where a use
of gdb_bfd_ref_ptr would be cleaner. These will be fixed in the next
patch.
I think this patch fixes some latent bugs. For example, it seems to
me that previously objfpy_add_separate_debug_file leaked a BFD.
I'm not 100% certain that the macho_symfile_read_all_oso change is
correct. The existing code here is hard for me to follow. One goal
of this sort of automated reference counting, though, is to make it
more difficult to make logic errors; so hopefully the code is clear
now.

This adds a new gdb_ref_ptr.h, that implements a reference-counting
smart pointer class, where the user of the class supplies a
reference-counting policy object.
This class will be used in the next patch, which changes most explicit
BFD reference counts to use this new type. Meanwhile, this patch
changes gdbpy_ref to be a specialization of this new class.
This change required adding new nullptr_t overloads some operators in
gdb_ref_ptr.h. I suspect this was needed because some Python header
redefines NULL, but I'm not certain.

This changes the event code in the Python layer to use

It also changes evpy_emit_event not to steal a reference to its

it's also a reasonable cleanup in its own right. While doing this I
realized that evpy_emit_event should not be calling gdbpy_print_stack

This patch introduces class gdbpy_ref, which is a sort of smart
pointer that owns a single Python reference to a PyObject. This class
acts a bit like unique_ptr, but also a bit like shared_ptr (in that
copies do what you might expect); I considered going solely with
unique_ptr but it seemed quite strange to have a unique_ptr that
actually manages a shared resource.
Subsequent patches use this new class to simplify logic in the Python
layer.

* python/py-ref.h: New file.
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.
Nowadays, we create a value of subobject in pretty printer with 'address'
being used,
value = value_from_contents_and_address (type, valaddr + embedded_offset,
address + embedded_offset);
set_value_component_location (value, val);
/* set_value_component_location resets the address, so we may
need to set it again. */
if (VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_internalvar
&& VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_internalvar_component
&& VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_computed)
set_value_address (value, address + embedded_offset);
value_from_contents_and_address creates a value from memory, but the
value we are pretty-printing may not from memory at all.
Instead of using value_from_contents_and_address, we create a value
of subobject with the same location as object's but different offset.
We avoid using address in this way. As a result, parameter 'address'
in apply_val_pretty_printer is no longer needed, we can remove it in
next step.
We've already had the location of the 'whole' value, so it is safe
to assume we can create a value of 'component' or 'suboject' value
at the same location but with different offset.

* python/py-prettyprint.c (gdbpy_apply_val_pretty_printer):
Likewise.
* value.c (value_from_component): New function.
* value.h (value_from_component): Likewise.
* valarith.c (value_subscripted_rvalue): Call
value_from_component.
The C function, pending_framepy_read_register(), which implements
the python interface gdb.PendingFrame.read_register does not handle
the so called "user" registers like "pc". An assertion error is
triggered due to the user registers having numbers larger than or
equal to gdbarch_num_regs(gdbarch).
With the VALUE_FRAME_ID tweak in place, the call to
get_frame_register_value() can simply be replaced by a call to
value_of_register(), which handles both real registers as well as the
user registers.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-unwind.c (pending_framepy_read_register): Use
value_of_register() instead of get_frame_register_value().
This patch removes the parameter valaddr of
extension_language_ops::apply_val_pretty_printer and remove const from
"struct value *val". valaddr can be got in each extension language's
implementation of apply_val_pretty_printer.

While writing a Python frame filter, I found a few bugs in the current
frame filter code. In particular:
* One spot converts a Python long to a CORE_ADDR using PyLong_AsLong.
However, this can fail on overflow. I changed this to use
get_addr_from_python.
* Another spot is doing the same but with PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong; I
changed this as well just for consistency.
* Converting line numbers can print "-1" if conversion from long
fails. This isn't fatal but just a bit ugly.
I've included a test case for the first issue. The line number one
didn't seem important enough to bother with.
2016-11-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_frame): Use
get_addr_from_python. Check for errors when getting line number.
2016-11-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* gdb.python/py-framefilter.py (ElidingFrameDecorator.address):
New method.
This replaces most of the remaining ui_file_xstrdup calls with
ui_file_as_string calls. Whenever a call was replaced, that led to a
cascade of other necessary adjustments throughout, to make the code
use std::string instead of raw pointers. And then whenever I added a
std::string as member of a struct, I needed to adjust
allocation/destruction of said struct to use new/delete instead of
xmalloc/xfree.
The stopping point was once gdb built again. These doesn't seem to be
a way to reasonably split this out further.
Maybe-not-obvious changes:
- demangle_for_lookup returns a cleanup today. To get rid of that,
and avoid unnecessary string dupping/copying, this introduces a
demangle_result_storage type that the caller instantiates and
passes to demangle_for_lookup.
- Many methods returned a "char *" to indicate that the caller owns
the memory and must free it. Those are switched to return a
std::string instead. Methods that return a "view" into some
internal string return a "const char *" instead. I.e., we only
copy/allocate when necessary.
