2024-01-12Update copyright year range in header of all files managed by GDBAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
This commit is the result of the following actions: - Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to include 2024, - Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the file, - Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright date, - Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've updated them this year to 2024. I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as you spot them.

2023-01-01Update copyright year range in header of all files managed by GDBJoel Brobecker1-1/+1
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script, which automated the update of the copyright year range for all source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include year 2023.
2022-01-01Automatic Copyright Year update after running gdb/copyright.pyJoel Brobecker1-1/+1
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure. For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were performed by the script.
2021-10-04[gdb/build] Add CXX_DIALECT to CXXTom de Vries1-0/+8
Say we use a gcc version that (while supporting c++11) does not support c++11 by default, and needs an -std setting to enable it. If gdb would use the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive, then we'd have: ... CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11" ... That mechanism however has the following problem (quoting from commit 0bcda685399): ... the top level Makefile passes CXX down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever gdb/Makefile may set CXX to. The result would be that a make invocation from the build/gdb/ directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a make invocation at the top level would not. ... Commit 0bcda685399 fixes this by using a custom AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX which does: ... CXX=g++ CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11 ... The problem reported in PR28318 is that using the custom instead of the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX makes the configure test for std::thread support fail. We could simply add $CXX_DIALECT to the test for std::thread support, but that would have to be repeated for each added c++ support test. Instead, fix this by doing: ... CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11" CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11 ... This is somewhat awkward, since it results in -std=gnu++11 occuring twice in some situations: ... $ touch src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c $ ( cd build/gdb; make V=1 dwarf2/read.o ) g++-4.8 -std=gnu++11 -x c++ -std=gnu++11 ... ... However, both settings are needed: - the switch in CXX for the std::thread tests (and other tests) - the switch in CXX_DIALECT so it can be appended in Makefiles, to counteract the fact that the top-level Makefile overrides CXX The code added in gdb/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 is copied from the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive. Tested on x86_64-linux. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28318

gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
2019-01-01Update copyright year range in all GDB files.Joel Brobecker1-1/+1
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py script. Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid copyright header (gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc). As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header was sent to gcc-patches first. gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
2018-04-09Update ax_cv_cxx_compile_cxx.m4Simon Marchi1-20/+438
This file provides the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX macro. In the context of the following patch, I wanted to build and test GDB in c++17 mode. The version of the macro we have in the repo does not support detecting c++17 compilers, but the upstream version has been updated to do so. Since we have local modifications to the file, I had to reconcile our modifications and the updated upstream version (which was relatively straightforward). gdb/ChangeLog: * ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4: Sync with upstream. * configure: Re-generate.

2016-10-28gdb: Require C++11Pedro Alves1-8/+13
Use AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX to detect if the compiler supports C++11, and if -std=xxx switches are necessary to enable C++11. We need to tweak AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX a bit though. Pristine upstream AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX appends -std=gnu++11 to CXX directly. That doesn't work for us, because the top level Makefile passes CXX down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever gdb/Makefile may set CXX to. The result would be that a make invocation from the build/gdb/ directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a make invocation at the top level would not. So instead of having AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX set CXX directly, tweak it to AC_SUBST a separate variable -- CXX_DIALECT -- and use '$(CXX) (CXX_DIALECT)' to compile/link. Confirmed that this enables C++11 starting with gcc 4.8, the first gcc release with full C++11 support. Also confirmed that configure errors out gracefully with older GCC releases: checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features by default... no checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -std=gnu++11... no checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -std=gnu++0x... no checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -std=c++11... no checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -std=c++0x... no checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with +std=c++11... no checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -h std=c++11... no configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++11 language features is required. Makefile:9451: recipe for target 'configure-gdb' failed make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/build-gcc-4.7' If we need to revert back to making C++11 optional, all that's necessary is to change the "mandatory" to "optional" in configure.ac and regenerate configure (both gdb and gdbserver). gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-10-28 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * Makefile.in (CXX_DIALECT): Get from configure.

2016-10-28gdb: Import AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from the GNU Autoconf ArchivePedro Alves1-0/+562
This macro throws C++11 code at the compiler in order to check whether it supports C++11. final/override, rvalue references, static_assert, decltype, auto, constexpr, etc., and adds -std=gnu++11 to CXX if necessary. Nothing uses the macro yet. Simply adding it as separate preliminary step because we'll need local changes. gdb/ChangeLog 2016-10-28 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4: New file.
