2024-11-23[gdb/contrib] Add two rules in common-misspellings.txtTom de Vries2-2/+2
Eli mentioned [1] that given that we use US English spelling in our documentation, we should use "behavior" instead of "behaviour". In wikipedia-common-misspellings.txt there's a rule: ... behavour->behavior, behaviour ... which leaves this as a choice. Add an overriding rule to hardcode the choice to common-misspellings.txt: ... behavour->behavior ... and add a rule to rewrite behaviour into behavior: ... behaviour->behavior ... and re-run spellcheck.sh on gdb*. Tested on x86_64-linux. [1] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2024-November/213371.html
2024-10-29fortran: Fix arrays of variable length strings for FORTRANIjaz, Abdul B3-2/+107
Before this change resolve_dynamic_array_or_string was called for all TYPE_CODE_ARRAY and TYPE_CODE_STRING types, but, in the end, this function always called create_array_type_with_stride, which creates a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY type. Suppose we have subroutine vla_array (arr1, arr2) character (len=*):: arr1 (:) character (len=5):: arr2 (:) print *, arr1 ! break-here print *, arr2 end subroutine vla_array The "print arr1" and "print arr2" command at the "break-here" line gives the following output: (gdb) print arr1 $1 = <incomplete type> (gdb) print arr2 $2 = ('abcde', 'abcde', 'abcde') (gdb) ptype arr1 type = Type End Type (gdb) ptype arr2 type = character*5 (3) Dwarf info using Intel® Fortran Compiler for such case contains following: <1><fd>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_string_type) <fe> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xd2): .str.ARR1 <102> DW_AT_string_length: 3 byte block: 97 23 8 (DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 8) After this change resolve_dynamic_array_or_string now calls create_array_type_with_stride or create_string_type, so if the incoming dynamic type is a TYPE_CODE_STRING then we'll get back a TYPE_CODE_STRING type. Now gdb shows following: (gdb) p arr1 $1 = ('abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij') (gdb) p arr2 $2 = ('abcde', 'abcde', 'abcde') (gdb) ptype arr1 type = character*10 (5) (gdb) ptype arr2 type = character*5 (3) In case of GFortran, compiler emits DW_TAG_structure_type for string type arguments of the subroutine and it has only DW_AT_declaration tag. This results in <incomplete type> in gdb. So, following issue is raised in gcc bugzilla "https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101826". Fixing above issue introduce regression in gdb.fortran/mixed-lang-stack.exp, i.e. the test forces the language to C/C++ and print a Fortran string value. The string value is a dynamic type with code TYPE_CODE_STRING. Before this commit the dynamic type resolution would always convert this to a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY of characters, which the C value printing could handle. But now after this commit we get a TYPE_CODE_STRING, which neither the C value printing, or the generic value printing code can support. And so, I've added support for TYPE_CODE_STRING to the generic value printing, all characters of strings are printed together till the first null character. Lastly, in gdb.opt/fortran-string.exp and gdb.fortran/string-types.exp tests it expects type of character array in 'character (3)' format but now after this change we get 'character*3', so tests are updated accordingly.

2024-10-23gdb/testsuite: introduce dwarf5 option to gdb_compileGuinevere Larsen1-1/+1
A few tests on the testsuite require dwarf5 to work. Up until now, the way to do this was to explicitly add the command line flag -gdwarf-5. This isn't very portable, in case a compiler requires a different flag to emit dwarf5. This commit adds a new option to gdb_compile that would be able to add the correct flag (if known) or error out in case we are unable to tell which flag to use. It also changes the existing tests to use this general option instead of hard coding -gdwarf-5. Reviewed-by: Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com> Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

2024-06-10[gdb/testsuite] Don't use set auto-solib-add offTom de Vries8-24/+0
In test-case gdb.mi/mi-var-child-f.exp, we have: ... mi_gdb_test "-gdb-set auto-solib-add off" "\\^done" mi_runto prog_array mi_gdb_test "nosharedlibrary" ".*\\^done" ... This was added to avoid a name clash between the array variable as defined in gdb.mi/array.f90 and debug info in shared libraries, and used in other places in the testsuite. The same workaround is also used to ignore symbols from shared libraries when excercising for instance a command that prints all symbols. However, this approach can cause problems for targets like arm that require symbol info for some libraries like ld.so and libc to fully function. While absense of debug info for shared libraries should be handled gracefully (which does need fixing, see PR31817), failure to do so should not result in failures in unrelated test-cases. Fix this by removing "set auto-solib-add off". This ensures that we don't run into PR31817, while the presence of nosharedlibrary still ensures that in the rest of the test-case we're not bothered by shared library symbols. Likewise in other test-cases. Approved-by: Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com> Tested on arm-linux.

2024-02-02gdb, testsuite, fortran: Fix sizeof intrinsic for Fortran pointersNils-Christian Kempke2-0/+223
For Fortran pointers gfortran/ifx emits DW_TAG_pointer_types like <2><17d>: Abbrev Number: 22 (DW_TAG_variable) <180> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f1): fptr <184> DW_AT_type : <0x214> ... <1><219>: Abbrev Number: 27 (DW_TAG_array_type) <21a> DW_AT_type : <0x10e> <216> DW_AT_associated : ... The 'pointer property' in Fortran is implicitly modeled by adding a DW_AT_associated to the type of the variable (see also the DW_AT_associated description in DWARF 5). A Fortran pointer is more than an address and thus different from a C pointer. It is a self contained type having additional fields such as, e.g., the rank of its underlying array. This motivates the intended DWARF modeling of Fortran pointers via the DW_AT_associated attribute. This patch adds support for the sizeof intrinsic by simply dereferencing pointer types when encountered during a sizeof evaluation. The patch also adds a test for the sizeof intrinsic which was not tested before. Tested-by: Thiago Jung Bauermann <thiago.bauermann@linaro.org> Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2024-02-02gdb, types: Resolve pointer types dynamicallyBernhard Heckel3-1/+145
This commit allows pointers to be dynamic types (on the outmost level). Similar to references, a pointer is considered a dynamic type if its target type is a dynamic type and it is on the outmost level. Also this commit removes the redundant code inside function "value_check_printable" for handling of DW_AT_associated type. The pointer resolution follows the one of references. This change generally makes the GDB output more verbose. We are able to print more details about a pointer's target like the dimension of an array. In Fortran, if we have a pointer to a dynamic type type buffer real, dimension(:), pointer :: ptr end type buffer type(buffer), pointer :: buffer_ptr allocate (buffer_ptr) allocate (buffer_ptr%ptr (5)) which then gets allocated, we now resolve the dynamic type before printing the pointer's type: Before: (gdb) ptype buffer_ptr type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer real(kind=4) :: alpha(:) End Type buffer ) After: (gdb) ptype buffer_ptr type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer real(kind=4) :: alpha(5) End Type buffer ) Similarly in C++ we can dynamically resolve e.g. pointers to arrays: int len = 3; int arr[len]; int (*ptr)[len]; int ptr = &arr; Once the pointer is assigned one gets: Before: (gdb) p ptr $1 = (int (*)[variable length]) 0x123456 (gdb) ptype ptr type = int (*)[variable length] After: (gdb) p ptr $1 = (int (*)[3]) 0x123456 (gdb) ptype ptr type = int (*)[3] For more examples see the modified/added test cases.

2024-01-28Use the new symbol domainsTom Tromey1-1/+1
This patch changes the DWARF reader to use the new symbol domains. It also adjusts many bits of associated code to adapt to this change. The non-DWARF readers are updated on a best-effort basis. This is somewhat simpler since most of them only support C and C++. I have no way to test a few of these. I went back and forth a few times on how to handle the "tag" situation. The basic problem is that C has a special namespace for tags, which is separate from the type namespace. Other languages don't do this. So, the question is, should a DW_TAG_structure_type end up in the tag domain, or the type domain, or should it be language-dependent? I settled on making it language-dependent using a thought experiment. Suppose there was a Rust compiler that only emitted nameless DW_TAG_structure_type objects, and specified all structure type names using DW_TAG_typedef. This DWARF would be correct, in that it faithfully represents the source language -- but would not work with a purely struct-domain implementation in gdb. Therefore gdb would be wrong. Now, this approach is a little tricky for C++, which uses tags but also enters a typedef for them. I notice that some other readers -- like stabsread -- actually emit a typedef symbol as well. And, I think this is a reasonable approach. It uses more memory, but it makes the internals simpler. However, DWARF never did this for whatever reason, and so in the interest of keeping the series slightly shorter, I've left some C++-specific hacks in place here. Note that this patch includes language_minimal as a language that uses tags. I did this to avoid regressing gdb.dwarf2/debug-names-tu.exp, which doesn't specify the language for a type unit. Arguably this test case is wrong. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30164

2023-12-29dwarf, fortran: add support for DW_TAG_entry_pointNils-Christian Kempke2-0/+151
Fortran provides additional entry points for subroutines and functions. These entry points may use only a subset (or a different set) of the parameters of the original subroutine. The entry points may be described via the DWARF tag DW_TAG_entry_point. This commit adds support for parsing the DW_TAG_entry_point DWARF tag. Currently, between ifx/ifort/gfortran, only ifort is actually emitting this tag. Both, ifx and gfortran use the DW_TAG_subprogram tag as workaround/alternative. Thus, this patch really only adds more ifort support. Even so, some of the attached tests still fail for ifort, due to some wrong line info generated for the entry points in ifort. After this patch it is possible to set a breakpoint in gdb with the ifort compiled example at the entry points 'foo' and 'foobar', which was not possible before. As gcc and ifx do not emit the tag I also added a test to gdb.dwarf2 which uses some underlying c compiled code and adds some Fortran style DWARF to it emitting the DW_TAG_entry_point. Before this patch it was not possible to actually define breakpoint at the entry point tags. For gfortran there actually exists a bug on bugzilla, asking for the use of DW_TAG_entry_point over DW_TAG_subprogram: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37134 This patch was originally posted here https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/gdb-patches/2017-07/msg00317.html but its review/pinging got lost after a while.

2023-09-14[gdb/exp] Clean up asap in value_print_array_elementsTom de Vries2-0/+116
I've been running the test-suite on an i686-linux laptop with 1GB of memory, and 1 GB of swap, and noticed problems after running gdb.base/huge.exp: gdb not being able to spawn for a large number of test-cases afterwards. So I investigated the memory usage, on my usual x86_64-linux development platform. The test-case is compiled with -DCRASH_GDB=2097152, so this: ... static int a[CRASH_GDB], b[CRASH_GDB]; ... with sizeof (int) == 4 represents two arrays of 8MB each. Say we add a loop around the "print a" command and print space usage statistics: ... gdb_test "maint set per-command space on" for {set i 0} {$i < 100} {incr i} { gdb_test "print a" } ... This gets us: ... (gdb) print a^M $1 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 478248960 (+469356544 for this command)^M (gdb) print a^M $2 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 486629376 (+8380416 for this command)^M (gdb) print a^M $3 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 495009792 (+8380416 for this command)^M ... (gdb) print a^M $100 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 1308721152 (+8380416 for this command)^M ... In other words, we start out at 8MB, and the first print costs us about 469MB, and subsequent prints 8MB, which accumulates to 1.3 GB usage. [ On the i686-linux laptop, the first print costs us 335MB. ] The subsequent 8MBs are consistent with the values being saved into the value history, but the usage for the initial print seems somewhat excessive. There is a PR open about needing sparse representation of large arrays (PR8819), but this memory usage points to an independent problem. The function value_print_array_elements contains a scoped_value_mark to free allocated values in the outer loop, but it doesn't prevent the inner loop from allocating a lot of values. Fix this by adding a scoped_value_mark in the inner loop, after which we have: ... (gdb) print a^M $1 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M (gdb) print a^M $2 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M (gdb) print a^M $3 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M ... (gdb) print a^M $100 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M ... Note that the +0 here just means that the mallocs did not trigger an sbrk. This is dependent on malloc (which can use either mmap or sbrk or some pre-allocated memory) and will likely vary between different tunings, versions and implementations, so this does not give us a reliable way detect the problem in a minimal way. A more reliable way of detecting the problem is: ... void value_free_to_mark (const struct value *mark) { + size_t before = all_values.size (); auto iter = std::find (all_values.begin (), all_values.end (), mark); if (iter == all_values.end ()) all_values.clear (); else all_values.erase (iter + 1, all_values.end ()); + size_t after = all_values.size (); + if (before - after >= 1024) + fprintf (stderr, "value_free_to_mark freed %zu items\n", before - after); ... which without the fix tells us: ... +print a value_free_to_mark freed 2097152 items $1 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>} ... Fix a similar problem for Fortran: ... +print array1 value_free_to_mark freed 4194303 items $1 = (0, <repeats 2097152 times>) ... in fortran_array_printer_impl::process_element. The problem also exists for Ada: ... +print Arr value_free_to_mark freed 2097152 items $1 = (0 <repeats 2097152 times>) ... but is fixed by the fix for C. Add Fortran and Ada variants of the test-case. The *.exp files are similar enough to the original to keep the copyright years range. While writing the Fortran test-case, I ran into needing an additional print setting to print the entire array in repeat form, filed as PR exp/30817. I managed to apply the compilation loop for the Ada variant as well, but with a cumbersome repetition style. I noticed no other test-case uses gnateD, so perhaps there's a better way of implementing this. The regression test included in the patch is formulated in its weakest form, to avoid false positive FAILs, which also means that smaller regressions may not get detected. Tested on x86_64-linux.

2023-09-08testsuite, fortran: adapt tests for ifort's 'start' behaviorNils-Christian Kempke2-16/+8
The modified tests array-slices-bad.exp and vla-type.exp both set a breakpoint at the first real statement in the respective executables. Normally, the expected behavior of fortran_runto_main for these would be the stopping of the debugger at exactly the first statment in the code. Strangely, neither gfortran nor ifx seem to do this for these tests. Instead, issuing 'start' in ifx (for either of the 2 tests) lets GDB stop at the 'program ...' line and gfortran stops at a variable declaration line. E.g. for vla-type it stops at 41 type(five) :: fivearr (2) So, actually, ifort's behavior can be considered to be a bit more 'correct' here. This patch remove the fortran_runto_main in the two tests and instead uses runto to directly run to the first breakpoint set at the first program statement. This works with both compiler behaviors and makes the tests more robust. Approved-by: Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>
2023-09-08testsuite, fortran: Remove self assignment non-statementsNils-Christian Kempke3-7/+8
There were a couple of places in the testsuite where instructions like var = var were written in the source code of tests. These were usually dummy statements meant to generate a line table entry at that line on which to break later on. This worked fine for gfortran and ifx, but it seems that, when compiled with ifort (2021.6.0) these statements do not actually create any assmbler instructions and especially no line table entries. Consider the program program test Integer var :: var = 1 var = var end program compiled with gfortran (13.0.0, -O0 -g). The linetable as emitted by 'objdump --dwarf=decodedline ./a.out' looks like test.f90: File name Line number Starting address View Stmt test.f90 1 0x401172 x test.f90 3 0x401176 x test.f90 4 0x401182 x test.f90 4 0x401185 x test.f90 4 0x401194 x test.f90 - 0x4011c0 actually containing line table info for line 3. Running gdb, breaking at 3 and checking the assembly we see 0x0000000000401172 <+0>: push %rbp 0x0000000000401173 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp => 0x0000000000401176 <+4>: mov 0x2ebc(%rip),%eax # 0x404038 <var.1> 0x000000000040117c <+10>: mov %eax,0x2eb6(%rip) # 0x404038 <var.1> 0x0000000000401182 <+16>: nop 0x0000000000401183 <+17>: pop %rbp 0x0000000000401184 <+18>: ret so two mov instructions are being issued for this assignment one copying the value into a register and one writing it back to the same memory. Ifort (2021.6.0, -O0 -g) on the other hand does not emit anything here and also has no line table entry: test.f90: File name Line number Starting address View Stmt test.f90 1 0x4040f8 x test.f90 4 0x404109 x test.f90 4 0x40410e x test.f90 - 0x404110 As I do not think that this is really a bug (on either side, gfortran/ifx or ifort), and as I don't think this behavior is covered in the Fortran standard, I changed these lines to become actual value assignments. This removes a few FAILs in the testsuite when ran with ifort. Approved-by: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2023-09-08testsuite, fortran: make mixed-lang-stack less compiler dependentNils-Christian Kempke1-1/+8
In the gdb.fortran/mixed-lang-stack.exp test when somewhere deep in a bunch of nested function calls we issue and test a 'info args' command for the mixed_func_1b function (when in that function's frame). The signature of the function looks like subroutine mixed_func_1b(a, b, c, d, e, g) use type_module implicit none integer :: a real(kind=4) :: b real(kind=8) :: c complex(kind=4) :: d character(len=*) :: e character(len=:), allocatable :: f TYPE(MyType) :: g and usually one would expect arguments a, b, c, d, e, and g to be emitted here. However, due to some compiler dependent treatment of the e array the actual output in the test (with gfortran/ifx) is (gdb) info args a = 1 b = 2 c = 3 d = (4,5) e = 'abcdef' g = ( a = 1.5, b = 2.5 ) _e = 6 where the compiler generated '_e' is emitted as the length of e. While ifort also generates an additional length argument, the naming (which is up to the compilers here I think, I could not find anything in the Fortran standard about this) is different and we see (gdb) info args a = 1 b = 2 c = 3 d = (4,5) e = 'abcdef' g = ( a = 1.5, b = 2.5 ) .tmp.E.len_V$4a = 6 To make both outputs pass the test, I kept the additional argument for now and made the regex for the emitted name of the last variable match any arbitrary name.

2023-08-07gdb/fortran: Align intrinsic/variable precedenceRichard Bunt3-0/+125
Fortran allows variables and function to be named after language defined intrinsics as they are not reserved keywords. For example, the abs maths intrinsic can be hidden by a user declaring a variable called abs. The behavior before this patch was to favour the intrinsic, which meant that any variables named, for example "allocated", could not be inspected by GDB. This patch inverts this priority to bring GDB's behaviour closer to the Fortran language, where the user defined symbol can hide the intrinsic. Special care was need to prevent any C symbols from overriding either Fortran intrinsics or user defined variables. This was observed to be the case when GDB has access to symbols for abs from libm. This was solved by only allowing symbols not marked with language_fortran to be overridden. In total this brings the order of precedence to the following (highest first): 1. User defined Fortran variable or function. 2. Fortran intrinsic. 3. Symbols from languages other than Fortran. The sizeof intrinsic is now case insensitive. This is closer to the Fortran language. I believe this change is safe enough as it increases the acceptance of the grammar, rather than restricts it. I.e. it should not break any existing scripts which rely on it. Unless of course they rely on SIZEOF being rejected. GDB built with GCC 13. No test suite regressions detected. Compilers: GCC, ACfL, Intel, Intel LLVM, NVHPC; Platforms: x86_64, aarch64.

2023-05-19gdb: Remove redundant frame switchingRichard Bunt1-0/+12
547ce8f00b fixed an issue where dynamic types were not being resolved correctly prior to printing a value. The same issue was discovered when printing the value using mi-mode, which was not covered by the fix. Porting the fix to the mi-mode code path resolved the issue. However, it was discovered that a later patch series, ending 2fc3b8a4cb8, independently fixed the issue in both the cli- and mi-mode code paths, making the original fix unneeded. This commit removes this extra frame switch and adds test coverage for the mi-mode scenario to protect against any future divergence in this area. GDB built with GCC 11.

2023-05-18gdb.fortran/lbound-ubound.exp: read expected lbound and ubound from function ↵Simon Marchi2-68/+18
parameters (PR 30414) gdb.fortran/lbound-ubound.exp reads the expected lbound and ubound values by reading some output from the inferior. This is racy when running on boards where the inferior I/O is on a separate TTY than GDB's, such as native-gdbserver. I sometimes see this behavior: (gdb) continue Continuing. Breakpoint 2, do_test (lb=..., ub=...) at /home/jenkins/workspace/binutils-gdb_master_linuxbuild/platform/jammy-amd64/target_board/nati ve-gdbserver/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/lbound-ubound.F90:45 45 print *, "" ! Test Breakpoint (gdb) Remote debugging from host ::1, port 37496 Expected GDB Output: LBOUND = (-8, -10) UBOUND = (-1, -2) APB: Run a test here APB: Expected lbound '(-8, -10)' APB: Expected ubound '' What happened is that expect read the output from GDB before the output from the inferior, triggering this gdb_test_multiple clause: -re "$gdb_prompt $" { set found_prompt true if {$found_dealloc_breakpoint || ($expected_lbound != "" && $expected_ubound != "")} { # We're done. } else { exp_continue } } So it set found_prompt, but the gdb_test_multiple kept going because found_dealloc_breakpoint is false (this is the flag indicating that the test is finished) and we still don't have expected_lbound and expected_ubound. Then, expect reads in the inferior I/O, triggering this clause: -re ".*LBOUND = (\[^\r\n\]+)\r\n" { set expected_lbound $expect_out(1,string) if {!$found_prompt} { exp_continue } } This sets expected_lbound, but since found_prompt is true, we don't do exp_continue, and exit the gdb_test_multiple, without having an expected_ubound. Change the test to read the values from the lb and ub function parameters instead. As far as I understand, this still exercises what we want to test. These variables contain the return values of the lbound and ubound functions as computed by the program. We'll use them to check the return values of the lbound and ubound functions as computed by GDB.

2023-03-31GDB: Favor full symbol main name for backtrace stopRichard Bunt2-0/+70
In the case where a Fortran program has a program name of "main" and there is also a minimal symbol called main, such as with programs built with GCC version 4.4.7 or below, the backtrace will erroneously stop at the minimal symbol rather than the user specified main, e.g.: (gdb) bt #0 bar () at .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/backtrace.f90:17 #1 0x0000000000402556 in foo () at .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/backtrace.f90:21 #2 0x0000000000402575 in main () at .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/backtrace.f90:31 #3 0x00000000004025aa in main () (gdb) This patch fixes this issue by increasing the precedence of the full symbol when the language of the current frame is Fortran.

2023-02-10GDB: Introduce limited array lengths while printing valuesAndrew Burgess2-0/+259
This commit introduces the idea of loading only part of an array in order to print it, what I call "limited length" arrays. The motivation behind this work is to make it possible to print slices of very large arrays, where very large means bigger than `max-value-size'. Consider this GDB session with the current GDB: (gdb) set max-value-size 100 (gdb) p large_1d_array value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size (gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size notice that the request to print 10 elements still fails, even though 10 elements should be less than the max-value-size. With a patched version of GDB: (gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array $1 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...} So now the print has succeeded. It also has loaded `max-value-size' worth of data into value history, so the recorded value can be accessed consistently: (gdb) p -elements 10 -- $1 $2 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...} (gdb) p $1 $3 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, <unavailable> <repeats 75 times>} (gdb) Accesses with other languages work similarly, although for Ada only C-style [] array element/dimension accesses use history. For both Ada and Fortran () array element/dimension accesses go straight to the inferior, bypassing the value history just as with C pointers. Co-Authored-By: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@embecosm.com>

UNRESOLVED: gdb.ada/assign_1.exp: changing the language to ada PASS: gdb.ada/assign_1.exp: set convenience variable $xxx to 1 The UNRESOLVED for arrayptr.exp is fine, as GDB crashes in that test, while trying to run to main. However, the UNRESOLVED in assign_1.exp doesn't make sense, GDB behaves as expected in that test: (gdb) set lang ada^M (gdb) UNRESOLVED: gdb.ada/assign_1.exp: changing the language to ada print $xxx := 1^M $1 = 1^M (gdb) PASS: gdb.ada/assign_1.exp: set convenience variable $xxx to 1 The problem is that arrayptr.exp calls perror when failing to run to main, then returns. perror makes it so that the next test (as in pass/fail) will be recorded as UNRESOLVED. However, here, the next test (as in pass/fail) is in the next test (as in .exp). Hence the spurious UNRESOLVED in assign_1.exp. These perror when failing to run to X are not really useful, especially since runto records a FAIL on error, by default. Remove all the perrors on runto failure I could find. When there wasn't one already, add a return statement when failing to run, to avoid running the test of the test unnecessarily. I thought of adding a check ran between test (in gdb_finish probably) where we would emit a warning if errcnt > 0, meaning a test quit and left a perror "active". However, reading that variable would poke into the DejaGNU internals, not sure it's a good idea. Change-Id: I2203df6d06e199540b36f56470d1c5f1dc988f7b

2022-11-17gdb/fortran/testsuite: print values and types of string variablesAndrew Burgess2-0/+107
While looking through the Fortran tests, I couldn't find a test of GDB printing the value and type of a Fortran string defined using the 'character*SIZE' notation. This works fine in GDB right now, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to have a test for this, so this commit adds such a test. The test also includes printing a string that includes some embedded special characters: \n \r \t \000 - that's right, as Fortran strings are stored as an address and length, it is fine to include an embedded null, so this test includes an example of that. Standard Fortran doesn't support backslash escape sequences within strings, the special characters must be generated using the `achar` function. However, when GDB prints the strings we currently print using the standard C like backslash sequences. I'm not currently proposing to change that behaviour, the backslash sequences are more compact than the standard Fortran way of doing things, and are so widely used that I suspect most Fortran programmers will understand them.

When value-printing a pointer within GDB by default GDB will look for defined symbols residing at the address of the pointer. For the given test the Intel/LLVM compiler stacks both display a symbol associated with a printed pointer while the gnu stack does not. This leads to failures in the test when running the test with CC_FOR_TARGET='clang' CXX_FOR_TARGET='clang' F90_FOR_TARGET='flang'" (gdb) b 37 (gdb) r (gdb) f 6 (gdb) info args a = 1 b = 2 c = 3 d = 4 + 5i f = 0x419ed0 "abcdef" g = 0x4041a0 <.BSS4> or CC_FOR_TARGET='icx' CXX_FOR_TARGET='icpx' F90_FOR_TARGET='ifx'" (gdb) b 37 (gdb) r (gdb) f 6 (gdb) info args a = 1 b = 2 c = 3 d = 4 + 5i f = 0x52eee0 "abcdef" g = 0x4ca210 <mixed_func_1a_$OBJ> For the compiled binary the Intel/LLVM compilers both decide to move the local variable g into the .bss section of their executable. The gnu stack will keep the variable locally on the stack and not define a symbol for it. Since the behavior for Intel/LLVM is actually expected I adapted the testcase at this point to be a bit more allowing for other outputs. I added the optional "<SYMBOLNAME>" to the regex testing for g. The given changes reduce the test fails for Intel/LLVM stack by 4 each.

The default copy-ctor will be called but, since derived_type contains a heap allocated string and the copy constructor is not implemented it will only be able to shallow copy the object. Right after each of the functions the object gets freed - on the other hand the d'tor of derived_type actually is implemented and calls free on the heap allocated string which leads to a double free. Instead of obeying the rule of 3/5 I just got rid of all that since it does not serve the test. The string is now just a const char* = ".." object member.
