2019-12-11Implement 'print -raw-values' and 'set print raw-values on|off'Philippe Waroquiers1-2/+9
The option framework documentation was speaking about a 'print -raw' option, but this option does not exist. This patch implements -raw-values option that tells to ignore the active pretty printers when printing a value. As we already have -raw-frame-arguments, I thought -raw-values was more clear, in particular to differentiate set print raw-values and set print raw-frame-arguments. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2019-12-11 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * gdb.texinfo (Command Options): Use -p and -pretty in the example, as -r is ambiguous. Update the print - TAB TAB completion result. (Data): Document new option -raw-values. Use -p and -pretty in the example, as -r is ambiguous. (Print Settings): Document set print raw values. (Pretty-Printer Commands): Document interaction between enabled pretty printers and -raw-values/-raw-frame-arguments. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-12-11 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * NEWS: Document -raw-values option and the related setting commands. * printcmd.c (print_command_parse_format): Do not set opts->raw off, only set it on when /r is given. * valprint.c (value_print_option_defs): New element raw-values. * Makefile.in: Add the new file. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2019-12-11 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * gdb.base/options.exp: Add -raw-values in the print completion list. * gdb.python/py-prettyprint.exp: Add tests for -raw-values.

2019-12-01Allow using less horizontal space in TUI source windowTom Tromey1-0/+8
The source window currently uses a field width of 6 for line numbers, and it further aligns to the next tab stop. This seemed a bit wasteful of horizontal space to me, so I changed that in an earlier patch. However, that change wasn't universally popular. This patch instead adds the option to use less horizontal space in the TUI source window. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-12-01 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * tui/tui-winsource.h (tui_copy_source_line): Add "ndigits" parameter. * tui/tui-winsource.c (tui_copy_source_line): Add "ndigits" parameter. * tui/tui-win.h (compact_source): Declare. * tui/tui-win.c (compact_source): New global.

2019-11-25[Debugging output] Make remote packet truncation length adjustableLuis Machado1-0/+6
While debugging, i felt the need to adjust the truncation length of remote packets so i could see more or less data as needed. The default is currently set to 512 bytes. This patch makes this option adjustable through the new "set debug remote-packet-max-chars" command. It can be set to unlimited if we want to completely disable truncation. Update on v5: - Adjusted function and variable documentation, NEWS entry and GDB manual. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-11-25 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org> * NEWS (New Commands): Mention "set debug remote-packet-max-chars". * remote.c (REMOTE_DEBUG_MAX_CHAR): Remove.

2019-11-12Make TUI resizing tests more robustTom Tromey1-0/+6
As Sergio pointed out, the TUI resizing tests are flaky. Debugging this showed three main problems. 1. expect's "stty" command processes its arguments one-by-one. So, rather than requesting a single resize, it sends two separate resize requests (one for rows and one for columns). This means gdb sees two SIGWINCH signals and resizes the terminal twice. I consider this a bug in expect, but I couldn't readily see how to report a bug; and anyway the fix wouldn't propagate very quickly. This patch works around this problem by explicitly doing two separate resizes (so it will be robust if expect ever does change); and then by waiting for each resize to complete before continuing. 2. gdb uses curses to drive the console rendering. Currently the test suite looks for terminal text insertion sequences to decide when a command has completed. However, it turns out that, sometimes, curses can output things in non-obvious ways. I didn't debug into curses but I guess this can happen due to output optimizations. No matter the reason, sometimes the current approach of only tracking text insertions is not enough to detect that gdb has finished rendering. This patch fixes this problem by arranging to detect the termination output after any curses command, not just insertion. 3. Detecting when a resize has completed is tricky. In fact, I could not find a way to reliably do this. This patch fixes this problem by adding a special maint "tui-resize-message" setting to gdb. When this is enabled, gdb will print a message after each SIGWINCH has been fully processed. The test suite enables this mode and then waits for the message in order to know when control can be returned to the calling test. This patch also adds a timeout, to avoid the situation where the terminal code fails to notice a change for some reason. This lets the test at least try to continue. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-11-12 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * tui/tui-win.c (resize_message): New global. (show_tui_resize_message): New function.

2019-11-10gdb/python: Introduce gdb.lookup_static_symbolsAndrew Burgess1-0/+3
If gdb.lookup_static_symbol is going to return a single symbol then it makes sense (I think) for it to return a context sensitive choice of symbol, that is the global static symbol that would be visible to the program at that point. However, if the user of the python API wants to instead get a consistent set of global static symbols, no matter where they stop, then they have to instead consider all global static symbols with a given name - there could be many. That is what this new API function offers, it returns a list (possibly empty) of all global static symbols matching a given name (and optionally a given symbol domain). gdb/ChangeLog: * python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols): New function. * python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols): Declare new function. * python/python.c (python_GdbMethods): Add gdb.lookup_static_symbols method. * NEWS: Mention gdb.lookup_static_symbols. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Add test for gdb.lookup_static_symbols. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * python.texi (Symbols In Python): Add documentation for gdb.lookup_static_symbols.

2019-11-04Obsolete Solaris 10 supportRainer Orth1-0/+5
Here's the patch corresponding to the Solaris 10 obsoletion announcement https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2019-10/msg00008.html Right now it doesn't remove any code, but obviates the need to test on that ancient platform. Besides, some of the patches I have in my queue would require different solutions for Solaris 10 and 11. There are a few comment-only references that I've kept since they are still correct as is, even when GDB doesn't support Solaris 10 any longer. The only code fragment I've left in is support for /proc/<pid/path/a.out in procfs.c (procfs_target::pid_to_exec_file): while current Solaris 11 updates provide /proc/<pid>/execname, that wasn't present in Solaris 11.0 and still isn't in current Illumos and I didn't want to make live harder for them. Tested on i386-pc-solaris2.10 (obsolete configuration rejected) and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu x sparc64-solaris2.10 (likewise) resp. x86_64-pc-linux-gnu x sparcv9-solaris2.11 (still builds; I'm using the sparcv9 form for 64-bit SPARC customary on Solaris in the MAINTAINERS file now). * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.3): Document Solaris 10 removal. * configure.host: Mark *-*-solaris2.10* obsolete. * configure.tgt: Mark Solaris < 11 obsolete. * MAINTAINERS (Target Instruction Set Architectures) <sparc>: Update target triplet.
2019-10-31gdb: Add new commands to list module variables and functionsAndrew Burgess1-0/+14
This patch adds two new commands "info module functions" and "info module variables". These commands list all of the functions and variables grouped by module and then by file. For example: (gdb) info module functions All functions in all modules: Module "mod1": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 35: void mod1::__copy_mod1_M1t1(Type m1t1, Type m1t1); 25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4)); 31: integer(kind=4) mod1::sub_m1_b(void); Module "mod2": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 41: void mod2::sub_m2_a(integer(kind=4), logical(kind=4)); 49: logical(kind=4) mod2::sub_m2_b(real(kind=4)); The new commands take set of flags that allow the output to be filtered, the user can filter by variable/function name, type, or containing module. As GDB doesn't currently track the relationship between a module and the variables or functions within it in the symbol table, so I filter based on the module prefix in order to find the functions or variables in each module. What this makes clear is that a user could get this same information using "info variables" and simply provide the prefix themselves, for example: (gdb) info module functions -m mod1 _a All functions matching regular expression "_a", in all modules matching regular expression "mod1": Module "mod1": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4)); Is similar to: (gdb) info functions mod1::.*_a.* All functions matching regular expression "mod1::.*_a": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4)); The benefits I see for a separate command are that the user doesn't have to think (or know) about the module prefix format, nor worry about building a proper regexp. The user can also easily scan across modules without having to build complex regexps. The new function search_module_symbols is extern in this patch despite only being used within symtab.c, this is because a later patch in this series will also be using this function from outside symtab.c. This patch is a new implementation of an idea originally worked on by Mark O'Connor, Chris January, David Lecomber, and Xavier Oro from ARM. gdb/ChangeLog: * symtab.c (info_module_cmdlist): New variable.

2019-10-31gdb/fortran: Add new 'info modules' commandAndrew Burgess1-0/+4
Add a new command 'info modules' that lists all of the modules GDB knows about from the debug information. A module is a debugging entity in the DWARF defined with DW_TAG_module, currently Fortran is known to use this tag for its modules. I'm not aware of any other language that currently makes use of DW_TAG_module. The output style is similar to the 'info type' output: (gdb) info modules All defined modules: File info-types.f90: 16: mod1 24: mod2 (gdb) Where the user is told the file the module is defined in and, on the left hand side, the line number at which the module is defined along with the name of the module.

2019-10-29Load system gdbinit files from a directoryChristian Biesinger1-0/+6
Adds a configure option --with-system-gdbinit-dir to specify a directory in which to look for gdbinit files. All files in this directory are loaded on startup (subject to -n/-nx as usual) as long as the extension matches a known and enabled scripting language (.gdb/.py/.scm).

2019-10-03gdb/fortran: Allow for matching symbols with missing scopeAndrew Burgess1-0/+9
This commit allows symbol matching within Fortran code without having to specify all of the symbol's scope. For example, given this Fortran code: module aaa contains subroutine foo print *, "hello." end subroutine foo end module aaa subroutine foo print *, "hello." end subroutine foo program test call foo contains subroutine foo print *, "hello." end subroutine foo subroutine bar use aaa call foo end subroutine bar end program test The user can now do this: (gdb) b foo Breakpoint 1 at 0x4006c2: foo.

The user is, of course, still able to specify the scope in order to place a single breakpoint on just one of the foo functions (or use 'break -qualified foo' to break on just the global foo). gdb/ChangeLog: * f-lang.c (f_language_defn): Use cp_get_symbol_name_matcher and cp_search_name_hash. * NEWS: Add entry about nested function support. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.fortran/nested-funcs-2.exp: Run tests with and without the nested function prefix.
2019-10-02Add $_ada_exception convenience variableTom Tromey1-0/+3
This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the existing "catch" syntax. This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper functions. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-10-02 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * NEWS: Add $_ada_exception entry. * ada-lang.c (struct ada_catchpoint): Add constructor. <m_kind>: New member.

2019-09-18Give a name to the TUI SingleKey keymapTom Tromey1-0/+4
Readline 8.0 has a feature that lets an application name a keymap. This in turn makes it simpler for users to bind keys in keymaps in their .inputrc. This patch gives a name to the TUI SingleKey keymap, so that additional bindings can be made there. For example: $if gdb set keymap SingleKey "X": "echo hello\\n\n" $endif The call to rl_initialize, in tui_initialize_readline, had to be removed so that .inputrc was not read too early. Note that Readline explicitly documents that this call is not needed. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-09-18 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * NEWS: Add entry. * tui/tui.c (tui_initialize_readline): Set name of keymap.

2019-09-12Output the Ada task name in more messages.Philippe Waroquiers1-0/+3
With this patch, we e.g. get: [Switching to task 2 "task_list(1)"] [Current task is 2 "task_list(1)"] instead of [Switching to task 2] [Current task is 2] The logic to produce the taskno optionally followed by the task name has been factorized in the task_to_str function. Task names are output between double quotes in the new messages, similarly to what GDB does for thread names. However, no quotes are put around task names in 'info tasks' Name column. This was discussed with Tom, that preferred no quotes there, while I was more in favour of visual consistency. I discussed with a few more users, which led to (exactly) 50% preferring quotes and 50% preferring no quotes :). To arrive to the decision to remove the quotes, the following "killing args" were used: * To have quotes or to not have quotes, that is the question; yes but not *THE* question :). * If there is not a clear majority that prefers quotes, better to not disturb the existing user basis for a (somewhat) irrelevant aspect. * The opinion of the reviewer has more weight. So, compared to the previous version, this version remotes the quotes in 'info tasks'. It improves the alignement of 'info tasks' output. With this patch, we get: (gdb) info task ID TID P-ID Pri State Name * 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task 2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit (gdb) instead of (gdb) info task ID TID P-ID Pri State Name * 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task 2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit (gdb) (e.g. the first one properly shows parent and priority under the correct header). This is version 4 of the 'task name' patch.

2019-08-07AArch64 pauth: Indicate unmasked addresses in backtraceAlan Hayward1-1/+3
Armv8.3-a Pointer Authentication causes the function return address to be obfuscated on entry to some functions. GDB must unmask the link register in order to produce a backtrace. The following patch adds markers of [PAC] to the bracktrace, to indicate which addresses needed unmasking. This includes the backtrace when using MI. For example, consider the following backtrace: (gdb) bt 0 0x0000000000400490 in puts@plt () 1 0x00000000004005dc in foo ("hello") at cbreak-lib.c:6 2 0x0000000000400604 [PAC] in bar () at cbreak-lib.c:12 3 0x0000000000400620 [PAC] in main2 () at cbreak.c:17 4 0x00000000004005b4 in main () at cbreak-3.c:10 The functions in cbreak-lib use pointer auth, which masks the return address to the previous function, causing the addresses of bar (in the library) and main2 (in the main binary) to require unmasking in order to unwind the backtrace. An extra bool is added alongside the prev_pc in the frame structure. At the point at which the link register is unmasked, the AArch64 port calls into frame to sets the bool. This is the most efficient way of doing it. The marker is also added to the python frame printer, which is always printed if set. The marker is not explicitly exposed to the python code. I expect this will potentially cause issues with some tests in the testsuite when Armv8.3 pointer authentication is used. This should be fixed up in the the future once real hardware is available for full testsuite testing. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Expand the Pointer Authentication entry. * aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_frame_unmask_address): Rename from this. (aarch64_frame_unmask_lr): ... to this. (aarch64_prologue_prev_register, aarch64_dwarf2_prev_register): Call aarch64_frame_unmask_lr. * frame.c (struct frame_info): Add "masked" variable.

Gdbserver has failed to build with GNU make 3.81 since commit 08f10e02be. Update the NEWS file to state that versions earlier than 3.82 are not supported. 3.82 was released in 2010, 3.81 was released 2006. A quick investigation of the default GNU make version provided across various distros found the earliest provided version to be 3.82: *RHEL 7, Centos 6 - make 3.82 *Fedora 27 - make 4.2.1 *OpenSuse 42.2, SLES11 - make 4.2.1 *Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 - make 4.1 *Debian Jessie - make 4.0 Note that Glibc requires at least 4.0, whereas GCC still allows 3.81. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Require GNU make 3.82.

2019-07-08Ensure GDB printf command can print convenience var strings without a target.Philippe Waroquiers1-0/+7
Without this patch, GDB printf command calls malloc on the target, writes the convenience var content to the target, re-reads the content from the target, and then locally printf the string. This implies inferior calls, and does not work when there is no running inferior, or when the inferior is a core dump. With this patch, printf command can printf string convenience variables without inferior function calls. Ada string convenience variables can also be printed. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-07-08 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * NEWS: Mention that GDB printf and eval commands can now print C-style and Ada-style convenience var strings without calling the inferior. * printcmd.c (printf_c_string): Locally print GDB internal var instead of transiting via the inferior.

2019-07-03Introduce the "with" commandPedro Alves1-0/+15
( See original discussion and prototype here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-05/msg00570.html ) (gdb) help with Temporarily set SETTING to VALUE, run COMMAND, and restore SETTING. Usage: with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND] Usage: w SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND] With no COMMAND, repeats the last executed command. SETTING is any setting you can change with the "set" subcommands. E.g.: with language pascal -- print obj with print elements unlimited -- print obj As can be seen above, the "with" command is just like "set", but instead of setting the setting permanently, it sets the setting, runs a command and then restores the setting. (gdb) p g_s $1 = {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3} (gdb) with language ada -- print g_s $2 = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3) Warning: the current language does not match this frame. (gdb) show language The current source language is "auto; currently c". (gdb) with print elements 100 -- with print object on -- print 1 $3 = 1 You can shorten things a bit though, as long as unambiguous. So this: (gdb) with print elements 100 -- with print object off -- print 1 is the same as: (gdb) w p el 100 -- w p o 0 -- p 1 Note that the patch adds a "w" alias for "with", as "w" is not currently taken: (gdb) w Ambiguous command "w": watch, wh, whatis, where, while, while-stepping, winheight, ws. Let me know if you'd prefer to reserve "w" for one of the other commands above. IMHO, this command will end up being used frequently enough that it deserves the "w" shorthand. A nice feature is that this is fully integrated with TAB-completion: (gdb) with p[TAB] pagination print prompt python (gdb) with print [TAB] address max-depth static-members array max-symbolic-offset symbol array-indexes null-stop symbol-filename asm-demangle object symbol-loading demangle pascal_static-members thread-events elements pretty type entry-values raw union frame-arguments repeats vtbl inferior-events sevenbit-strings (gdb) with print [TAB] (gdb) with print elements unlimited -- thread apply all -[TAB] -ascending -c -q -s (gdb) with print elements unlimited -- print -[TAB] -address -max-depth -repeats -vtbl -array -null-stop -static-members -array-indexes -object -symbol -elements -pretty -union The main advantage of this new command compared to command options, like the new "print -OPT", is that this command works with any setting, and, it works nicely when you want to override a setting while running a user-defined command, like: (gdb) with print pretty -- usercmd The disadvantage is that it isn't as compact or easy to type. I think of command options and this command as complementary. I think that even with this new command, it makes sense to continue developing the command options in the direction of exposing most-oft-used settings as command options. Inspired by Philippe's "/" command proposal, if no command is specified, then the last command is re-invoked, under the overridden setting: (gdb) p g_s $1 = {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3} (gdb) with language ada $2 = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3) Warning: the current language does not match this frame. Note: "with" requires "--" to separate the setting from the command. It might be possible to do without that, but, I haven't tried it yet, and I think that this can go in without it. We can always downgrade to making "--" optional if we manage to make it work. On to the patch itself, the implementation of the command is simpler than one might expect. A few details: - I factored out a bit from pipe_command into repeat_previous directly, because otherwise I'd need to copy&paste the same code and same error message in the with command. - The parse_cli_var_uinteger / parse_cli_var_zuinteger_unlimited / do_set_command changes are necessary since we can now pass an empty string as argument. - do_show_command was split in two, as a FIXME comment suggests, but for a different reason: we need to get a string version of a "set" command's value, and we already had code for that in do_show_command. That code is now factored out to the new get_setshow_command_value_string function. - There's a new "maint with" command added too: (gdb) help maint with Like "with", but works with "maintenance set" variables. Usage: maintenance with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND] With no COMMAND, repeats the last executed command. SETTING is any setting you can change with the "maintenance set" subcommands. "with" and "maint with" share 99% of the implementation. This might be useful on its own, but it's also useful for testing, since with this, we can use the "maint set/show test-settings" settings for exercising the "with" machinery with all the command type variants (all enum var_types). This is done in the new gdb/base/with.exp testcase. The documentation bits are originally based on Philippe's docs for the "/" command, hence the attribution in the ChangeLog. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-07-03 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS (New commands): Mention "with" and "maint with". * cli/cli-cmds.c (with_command_1, with_command_completer_1) (with_command, with_command_completer): New.

2019-07-02Make "info threads" use the gdb::option frameworkPedro Alves1-0/+2
This makes "info threads" use the gdb::option framework to process options. There's only one option today (-gid), and it isn't used much frequently unless you're looking at matching MI output. Still, this was in the neighborhood of "thread apply" so I had converted it. The main advantage is that TAB completion now shows you the available options, and gives you a hint to what the command accepts as operand argument, including showing a metasyntactic variable: (gdb) info threads [TAB] -gid ID (gdb) help info threads Display currently known threads. Usage: info threads [OPTION]... [ID]... Options: -gid Show global thread IDs. If ID is given, it is a space-separated list of IDs of threads to display. Otherwise, all threads are displayed.

2019-06-15gdb/mi: New commands to catch C++ exceptionsAndrew Burgess1-0/+4
Adds some MI commands to catch C++ exceptions. The new commands are -catch-throw, -catch-rethrow, and -catch-catch, these all correspond to the CLI commands 'catch throw', 'catch rethrow', and 'catch catch'. Each MI command takes two optional arguments, '-t' has the effect of calling 'tcatch' instead of 'catch', for example: (gdb) -catch-throw -t Is the same as: (gdb) tcatch throw There is also a '-r REGEXP' argument that can supply a regexp to match against the exception type, so: (gdb) -catch-catch -r PATTERN Is the same as: (gdb) catch catch PATTERN The change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint might seem a little strange; changing the output from using ui_out::field_int and ui_out::text to using ui_out::message. The print_mention_exception_catchpoint is used as the 'print_mention' method for the exception catchpoint breakpoint object. Most of the other 'print_mention' methods (see breakpoint.c) use either printf_filtered, of ui_out::message. Using field_int was causing an unexpected field to be added to the MI output. Here's the output without the change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint: (gdb) -catch-throw ^done,bkptno="1",bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep", enabled="y",addr="0x00000000004006c0", what="exception throw",catch-type="throw", thread-groups=["i1"],times="0"} Notice the breakpoint number appears in both the 'bkptno' field, and the 'number' field within the 'bkpt' tuple. Here's the output with the change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint: (gdb) -catch-throw ^done,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep", enabled="y",addr="0x00000000004006c0", what="exception throw",catch-type="throw", thread-groups=["i1"],times="0"} gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention new MI commands. * break-catch-throw.c (enum exception_event_kind): Move to breakpoint.h.
