This turns gdbpy_ref into a template class, so that it can be used to
wrap subclasses of PyObject. The default argument remains PyObject;
and this necessitated renaming uses of "gdbpy_ref" to "gdbpy_ref<>".

varobj.c: Change gdbpy_ref to gdbpy_ref<>.
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.

* ui-out.h (ui_out_emit_type): New class.
(ui_out_emit_tuple, ui_out_emit_list): New typedefs.
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_single_arg): Use gdb::optional
and ui_out_emit_tuple.
(enumerate_locals): Likewise.

ui_out_emit_list.
(py_print_frame): Use gdb::optional, ui_out_emit_tuple,
ui_out_emit_list.
* common/gdb_optional.h: New file.
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.

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

The documentation is very clear about it [1] and it was also mentioned
in the "What's New In Python 3.4" page [2].

* python/python-internal.h (PyMem_RawMalloc): Define for
Python < 3.4.
* python/py-gdb-readline.c (gdbpy_readline_wrapper): Use
PyMem_RawMalloc instead of PyMem_Malloc.
This adds a constructor and destructor to demangle_parse_info, and
then changes all the users to use them. This removes
make_cleanup_cp_demangled_name_parse_free and its single use.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-type.c (typy_legacy_template_argument): Update.
* cp-support.h (struct demangle_parse_info) (demangle_parse_info,

(cp_merge_demangle_parse_infos): Update.
(cp_demangled_name_to_comp): Change return type.
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.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-value.c (valpy_dereference, valpy_referenced_value)
(valpy_reference_value, valpy_const_value, valpy_get_address)

(valpy_getitem, valpy_call, valpy_binop_throw, valpy_negative)
(valpy_absolute, valpy_richcompare_throw): Use scoped_value_mark.
* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_loc_desc_get_symbol_read_needs): Use
scoped_value_mark.
* dwarf2-frame.c (execute_stack_op): Use scoped_value_mark.
* value.h (scoped_value_mark): New class.
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.

(find_separate_debug_file_by_buildid): Update.
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.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* common/gdb_ref_ptr.h: New file.
* python/py-ref.h (struct gdbpy_ref_policy): New.
(gdbpy_ref): Now a typedef.
make_cleanup_py_decref and make_cleanup_py_xdecref are now unused, so
this patch removes themm. Future Python changes should use gdbpy_ref
instead.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/python-internal.h (make_cleanup_py_decref)
(make_cleanup_py_xdecref): Don't declare.
* python/py-utils.c (py_decref, make_cleanup_py_decref)
(py_xdecref, make_cleanup_py_xdecref): Remove.
This changes some spots in py-framefilter.c to use gdbpy_ref rather
than make_cleanup_py_decref or make_cleanup_py_xdecref.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_mi_print_variables): Use gdbpy_ref.
(py_print_locals, enumerate_locals, py_print_args): Use gdbpy_ref.
This changes enumerate_args to use gdbpy_ref, and gets rid of many
gotos.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-framefilter.c (enumerate_args): Use gdbpy_ref.
This changes more places in py-utils.c to use gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-utils.c (unicode_to_encoded_string)
(python_string_to_target_string)
(python_string_to_target_python_string)
(python_string_to_host_string, gdbpy_obj_to_string)
(get_addr_from_python): Use gdbpy_ref.
This changes pyuw_object_attribute_to_pointer to use gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-unwind.c (pyuw_object_attribute_to_pointer): Use
gdbpy_ref.
This changes more places in python.c to use gdbpy_ref.
Additionally, previously gdbpy_apply_type_printers would return
EXT_LANG_RC_ERROR if a type printer returned None. However, that
doesn't seem correct to me; this patch changes it to return
EXT_LANG_RC_NOP in this case.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/python.c (eval_python_command, gdbpy_decode_line)
(gdbpy_run_events, gdbpy_start_type_printers)
(gdbpy_apply_type_printers): Use gdbpy_ref.
This changes py-param.c to use gdbpy_ref in a couple more spots.

2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_out_of_scope): Use
gdbpy_ref.
This changes py-cmd.c to use gdbpy_ref in more places. This also
fixes a latent memory leak in cmdpy_completer_helper, which
unnecessarily increfs the result of PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs. This
is not needed because that function returns a new reference.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_completer_helper): Use gdbpy_ref. Remove
extra incref.
(cmdpy_completer_handle_brkchars, cmdpy_completer, cmdpy_init):
Use gdbpy_ref.
This changes gdbpy_breakpoint_cond_says_stop to use gdbpy_ref rather
than explicit reference management.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-breakpoint.c (gdbpy_breakpoint_cond_says_stop): Use
gdbpy_ref.
This changes archpy_disassemble to use gdbpy_ref. It also fixes a
latent bug where archpy_disassemble was decref'ing the results of a
all to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords. This is incorrect because
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords returns borrowed references.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-arch.c (archpy_disassemble): Use gdbpy_ref. Don't
decref results of PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
This changes python_run_simple_file to use gdbpy_ref and
unique_xmalloc_ptr. Thi fixes a latent bug in this function, where
the error path previously ran the cleanups and then referred to one of
the objects just freed.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/python.c (python_run_simple_file): Use
unique_xmalloc_ptr, gdbpy_ref.
This changes some spots in py-prettyprint.c to use gdbpy_ref. It also
changes push_dummy_python_frame to be a class, rather than having it
create a cleanup.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-prettyprint.c (print_stack_unless_memory_error)
(print_string_repr, print_children): Use gdbpy_ref.
(dummy_python_frame): New class.

2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_frame): Use gdbpy_ref.
All of gdb has been converted away from ensure_python_env and
varobj_ensure_python_env now; so remove them.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/python.c (ensure_python_env, restore_python_env):
Remove.
* python/python-internal.h (ensure_python_env): Don't declare.
* varobj.h (varobj_ensure_python_env): Don't declare.
* varobj.c (varobj_ensure_python_env): Remove.
This changes gdbpy_extract_lazy_string's "encoding" argument to be a
unique_xmalloc_ptr. I chose this rather than std::string because it
can sometimes be NULL.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-prettyprint.c (print_string_repr, print_children):
Update.
* python/py-lazy-string.c (gdbpy_extract_lazy_string): Change type
of "encoding".
* varobj.c (varobj_value_get_print_value): Update.
* python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_extract_lazy_string): Update.
This changes the last functions in python.c to use gdbpy_enter. I
split gdbpy_finish_initialization into two functions in order to avoid
some "goto"s.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/python.c (python_command): Use gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref.
(do_finish_initialization): New function. Use gdbpy_ref.
(gdbpy_finish_initialization): Use gdbpy_enter. Call
do_finish_initialization.
This converts the remaining functions in py-param.c to use
gdbpy_enter.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-param.c (get_set_value, get_show_value): Use
gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref.
This changes fnpy_call to use gdbpy_enter and gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-function.c (fnpy_call): Use gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref.
This changes cmdpy_function to use gdbpy_enter and gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_function): Use gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref.
This converts the remaining functions in py-varobj.c to use
gdbpy_enter_varobj.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-varobj.c (py_varobj_iter_dtor, py_varobj_iter_next):
Use gdbpy_enter_varobj.
This introduces gdbpy_enter_varobj, a subclass of gdbpy_enter; then
changes one function in py-varobj.c to use it. gdbpy_enter_varobj
takes a varobj as an argument, similar to varobj_ensure_python_env.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* varobj.c (gdbpy_enter_varobj): New constructor.
* python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_enter_varobj): New class.
* python/py-varobj.c (py_varobj_get_iterator): Use
gdbpy_enter_varobj.
This changes the remaining functions in py-xmethod.c to use
gdbpy_enter; using gdbpy_ref and unique_xmalloc_ptr as
appropriate.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-xmethods.c (gdbpy_get_xmethod_result_type): Use
gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref, unique_xmalloc_ptr.

(gdbpy_get_xmethod_arg_types): Use gdbpy_ref,
unique_xmalloc_ptr.
(gdbpy_get_xmethod_arg_types): Use gdbpy_ref, gdbpy_enter.
Change invoke_match_method to use gdbpy_ref.
I neglected to convert this function in my earlier series.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-xmethods.c (invoke_match_method): Use
gdbpy_ref.
Change gdbpy_get_matching_xmethod_workers to use gdbpy_enter and
gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-xmethods.c (gdbpy_get_matching_xmethod_workers): use
gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref.
This changes python_interactive_command to use gdbpy_enter.
Previously this function was leaving a dangling cleanup -- this is
sort of ok in a command function, but IMO it's still better to clean
up.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/python.c (python_interactive_command): Use gdbpy_enter.
Change gdbpy_before_prompt_hook to use gdbpy_enter and gdbpy_ref.
This also rearranges the function a tiny bit to make it more clear.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

* python/py-prettyprint.c (gdbpy_apply_val_pretty_printer): Use
gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref, unique_xmalloc_ptr.
This introduces a new "htab_up" typedef, which is a std::unique_ptr
that can call htab_delete. Then it changes some code in
py-framefilter.c to use both gdbpy_enter and the new htab_up.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* utils.h (htab_deleter): New struct.
(htab_up): New typedef.

gdbpy_enter.
Change py-breakpoint.c to use gdbpy_enter.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-breakpoint.c (gdbpy_breakpoint_cond_says_stop): Use
gdbpy_enter.
(gdbpy_breakpoint_has_cond): Likewise.
This introduces gdbpy_enter, a class that can be used to acquire and

This changes the event code in the Python layer to use
gdbpy_ref, simplifying the logic in many places.
It also changes evpy_emit_event not to steal a reference to its
argument. This is simpler to do now that gdbpy_ref is in use;
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
(all the outermost callers do this if needed), so I removed this as
well.

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.

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().

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.

This makes these flag types be "enum flag" types. The benefit is
making use of C++'s stronger typing -- mixing the flags types by
mistake errors at compile time.
This caught one old bug in symbol_file_add_main_1 already, fixed by
this patch as well:
@@ -1318,7 +1326,7 @@ symbol_file_add_main_1 (const char *args, int from_tty, int flags)

reinit_frame_cache ();
- if ((flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)
+ if ((add_flags & SYMFILE_NO_READ) == 0)

}
Above, "flags" are objfile flags, not symfile_add_flags. So that was
actually checking for "flag & OBJF_PSYMTABS_READ", which has the same
value as SYMFILE_NO_READ...
I moved the flags definitions to separate files to break circular
dependencies.

The gdb.decode_line python function is documented to support the same location
expressions as the "break" command. It currently expects a linespec location.
Instead of creating a linespec location directly, create the location via
string_to_event_location_basic.
I tried building gdb with -Wduplicated-cond. This patch fixes the
simpler issue that was found.
In Python 3, "int" and "long" are synonyms, so code like:
else if (PyLong_Check (obj))
...
else if (PyInt_Check (obj))
.... will trigger this warning. The fix is to conditionalize the
PyInt_Check branches on Python 2.

* python/py-breakpoint.c (gdbpy_breakpoint_deleted): Add missing
newline.
This patch adds some breakpoint events to Python. In particular,
there is a creation event that is emitted when a breakpoint is
created; a modification event that is emitted when a breakpoint
changes somehow; and a deletion event that is emitted when a
breakpoint is deleted.
In this patch, the event's payload is the breakpoint itself. I
considered making a new event type to hold the breakpoint, but I
didn't see a need. Still, I thought I would mention this as a spot
where some other choice is possible.

I noticed that bppy_get_visibility and gdbpy_breakpoint_created
implemented their own visibility checks, but subtly different from
user_breakpoint_p. I think the latter is more correct, and so changed
the Python code to use it.
I suspect there isn't a decent way to test this, so no new test.

PR python/19293 notes that when a Python unwinder is disabled, the
frame cache is not invalidated. This means that disabling an unwinder
doesn't have any immediate effect -- but in my experience it's often
the case that I want to enable or disable an unwinder in order to see
what happens.
This patch adds a new gdb.invalidate_cached_frames function and
arranges for the relevant bits of library code to call it. I've only
partially documented this function, considering a warning sufficient
without going into all the reasons ordinary code should not call it.
The name of the new function was taken from a comment in frame.h next
to reinit_frame_cache.
No new test as I think the updates to the existing test are sufficient
to show that the code is working as intended.

When a Python script tries to create a breakpoint but fails to do so,
gdb.Breakpoint.__init__ raises an exception and the breakpoint does not
exist anymore in the Python interpreter. However, GDB still keeps a
reference to the Python object to be used for a later hook, which is
wrong.
This commit adds the necessary cleanup code so that there is no stale
reference to this Python object. It also adds a new testcase to
reproduce the bug and check the fix.

GDB computes structure byte offsets using a 32 bit integer. And,

result is that any offset that if 512K bytes or larger overflows.

PR gdb/16483 notes that the output of "info frame-filters" is quite
voluminous. In particular it prints an entry for each objfile, even if
only to say that the objfile does not have any associated frame filters.
I think it's better to only print output when there is a frame filter.
There's nothing worth doing with the no-frame-filter information, and
limiting the output makes it much more readable.

If every UI instance has its own set of interpreters, then the current
scheme of creating the interpreters at GDB initialization time no
longer works. We need to create them whenever a new UI instance is
created.
The scheme implemented here has each interpreter register a factory
callback that when called creates a new instance of a specific
interpreter type. Then, when some code in gdb looks up an interpreter
(always by name), if there's none yet, the factory method is called to
construct one.
