2023-05-13Fix bad interaction between element limit and repeated values (BZ#24331).Paul Pluzhnikov1-6/+19
Currently print -elements=3 -- "AAAAAA" prints complete string, which is not what the user asked for. Fix two buggy tests exposed by the fix, and add a new test. Reviewed-by: Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>
2023-03-14Hide the implementation of gdb_mpfTom Tromey1-1/+1
This renames the data member of gdb_mpf and makes it private. It also adds a single new method to aid in this change. Unlike the earlier changes here, I did this one all together because gdb_mpf has very few uses.
2023-02-15Have value::bits_synthetic_pointer return boolTom Tromey1-1/+1
This changes value::bits_synthetic_pointer to return bool and fixes up some fallout from this. Reviewed-By: Bruno Larsen <blarsen@redhat.com>
2023-02-13Turn various value copying-related functions into methodsTom Tromey1-6/+6
This patch turns a grab bag of value functions to methods of value. These are done together because their implementations are interrelated. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2023-02-13Turn many optimized-out value functions into methodsTom Tromey1-13/+12
This turns many functions that are related to optimized-out or availability-checking to be methods of value. The static function value_entirely_covered_by_range_vector is also converted to be a private method. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2023-02-13Turn remaining value_contents functions into methodsTom Tromey1-12/+12
This turns the remaining value_contents functions -- value_contents, value_contents_all, value_contents_for_printing, and value_contents_for_printing_const -- into methods of value. It also converts the static functions require_not_optimized_out and require_available to be private methods. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>

2023-02-13Turn value_contents_eq into a methodTom Tromey1-1/+1
This changes value_contents_eq to be a method of value. It also converts the static function value_contents_bits_eq into a private method. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2023-02-13Turn value_fetch_lazy into a methodTom Tromey1-1/+1
This changes value_fetch_lazy to be a method of value. A few helper functions are converted as well, to avoid problems in later patches when the data members are all made private. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2023-02-13Turn some value_contents functions into methodsTom Tromey1-1/+1
This turns value_contents_raw, value_contents_writeable, and value_contents_all_raw into methods on value. The remaining functions will be changed later in the series; they were a bit trickier and so I didn't include them in this patch. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>

2023-02-10GDB: Introduce limited array lengths while printing valuesAndrew Burgess1-1/+9
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>
2023-01-19GDB: Add a character string limiting optionAndrew Burgess1-22/+68
This commit splits the `set/show print elements' option into two. We retain `set/show print elements' for controlling how many elements of an array we print, but a new `set/show print characters' setting is added which is used for controlling how many characters of a string are printed. The motivation behind this change is to allow users a finer level of control over how data is printed, reflecting that, although strings can be thought of as arrays of characters, users often want to treat these two things differently. For compatibility reasons by default the `set/show print characters' option is set to `elements', which makes the limit for character strings follow the setting of the `set/show print elements' option, as it used to. Using `set print characters' with any other value makes the limit independent from the `set/show print elements' setting, however it can be restored to the default with the `set print characters elements' command at any time. A corresponding `-characters' option for the `print' command is added, with the same semantics, i.e. one can use `elements' to make a given `print' invocation follow the limit of elements, be it set with the `-elements' option also given with the same invocation or taken from the `set/show print elements' setting, for characters as well regardless of the current setting of the `set/show print characters' option. The GDB changes are all pretty straightforward, just changing references to the old 'print_max' to use a new `get_print_max_chars' helper which figures out which of the two of `print_max' and `print_max_chars' values to use. Likewise, the documentation is just updated to reference the new setting where appropriate. To make people's life easier the message shown by `show print elements' now indicates if the setting also applies to character strings: (gdb) set print characters elements (gdb) show print elements Limit on string chars or array elements to print is 200. (gdb) set print characters unlimited (gdb) show print elements Limit on array elements to print is 200. (gdb) and the help text shows the dependency as well: (gdb) help set print elements Set limit on array elements to print. "unlimited" causes there to be no limit. This setting also applies to string chars when "print characters" is set to "elements". (gdb) In the testsuite there are two minor updates, one to add `-characters' to the list of completions now shown for the `print' command, and a bare minimum pair of checks for the right handling of `set print characters' and `show print characters', copied from the corresponding checks for `set print elements' and `show print elements' respectively.

2023-01-19GDB: Allow arbitrary keywords in integer set commandsMaciej W. Rozycki1-3/+6
Rather than just `unlimited' allow the integer set commands (or command options) to define arbitrary keywords for the user to use, removing hardcoded arrangements for the `unlimited' keyword. Remove the confusingly named `var_zinteger', `var_zuinteger' and `var_zuinteger_unlimited' `set'/`show' command variable types redefining them in terms of `var_uinteger', `var_integer' and `var_pinteger', which have the range of [0;UINT_MAX], [INT_MIN;INT_MAX], and [0;INT_MAX] each. Following existing practice `var_pinteger' allows extra negative values to be used, however unlike `var_zuinteger_unlimited' any number of such values can be defined rather than just `-1'. The "p" in `var_pinteger' stands for "positive", for the lack of a more appropriate unambiguous letter, even though 0 obviously is not positive; "n" would be confusing as to whether it stands for "non-negative" or "negative". Add a new structure, `literal_def', the entries of which define extra keywords allowed for a command and numerical values they correspond to. Those values are not verified against the basic range supported by the underlying variable type, allowing extra values to be allowed outside that range, which may or may not be individually made visible to the user. An optional value translation is possible with the structure to follow the existing practice for some commands where user-entered 0 is internally translated to UINT_MAX or INT_MAX. Such translation can now be arbitrary. Literals defined by this structure are automatically used for completion as necessary. So for example: const literal_def integer_unlimited_literals[] = { { "unlimited", INT_MAX, 0 }, { nullptr } }; defines an extra `unlimited' keyword and a user-visible 0 value, both of which get translated to INT_MAX for the setting to be used with. Similarly: const literal_def zuinteger_unlimited_literals[] = { { "unlimited", -1, -1 }, { nullptr } }; defines the same keyword and a corresponding user-visible -1 value that is used for the requested setting. If the last member were omitted (or set to `{}') here, then only the keyword would be allowed for the user to enter and while -1 would still be used internally trying to enter it as a part of a command would result in an "integer -1 out of range" error. Use said error message in all cases (citing the invalid value requested) replacing "only -1 is allowed to set as unlimited" previously used for `var_zuinteger_unlimited' settings only rather than propagating it to `var_pinteger' type. It could only be used for the specific case where a single extra `unlimited' keyword was defined standing for -1 and the use of numeric equivalents is discouraged anyway as it is for historical reasons only that they expose GDB internals, confusingly different across variable types. Similarly update the "must be >= -1" Guile error message. Redefine Guile and Python parameter types in terms of the new variable types and interpret extra keywords as Scheme keywords and Python strings used to communicate corresponding parameter values. Do not add a new PARAM_INTEGER Guile parameter type, however do handle the `var_integer' variable type now, permitting existing parameters defined by GDB proper, such as `listsize', to be accessed from Scheme code. With these changes in place it should be trivial for a Scheme or Python programmer to expand the syntax of the `make-parameter' command and the `gdb.Parameter' class initializer to have arbitrary extra literals along with their internal representation supplied. Update the testsuite accordingly. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>

This changes the uses of value_print_options to use 'true' and 'false' rather than integers.
2022-10-31Fix regression in pointer-to-member printingTom Tromey1-1/+1
PR c++/29243 points out that "info func" on a certain C++ executable will cause an infinite loop in gdb. I tracked this down to a bug introduced by commit 6b5a7bc76 ("Handle member pointers directly in generic_value_print"). Before this commit, the C++ code to print a member pointer would wind up calling value_print_scalar_formatted; but afterward it simply calls generic_value_print and gets into a loop. This patch restores the previous behavior and adds a regression test.
2022-10-21Fix crash in value_print_array_elementsTom Tromey1-7/+13
A user noticed that gdb would crash when printing a packed array after doing "set lang c". Packed arrays don't exist in C, but it's occasionally useful to print things in C mode when working in a non-C language -- this lets you see under the hood a little bit. The bug here is that generic value printing does not handle packed arrays at all. This patch fixes the bug by introducing a new function to extract a value from a bit offset and width. The new function includes a hack to avoid problems with some existing test cases when using -fgnat-encodings=all. Cleaning up this code looked difficult, and since "all" is effectively deprecated, I thought it made sense to simply work around the problems.
2022-10-19internal_error: remove need to pass __FILE__/__LINE__Pedro Alves1-2/+1
Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__ explicitly, like: internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var); The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we already use them in several places, including the related gdb_assert_not_reached. So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else, and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands __FILE__/__LINE__ itself. The result is that we now should call internal_error like so: internal_error ("foo %d", var); Likewise for internal_warning. The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done with a perl/sed script. The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h, gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.

2022-10-10Fix a latent bug in print_wcharTom Tromey1-8/+14
print_wchar keeps track of when escape sequences are emitted, to force an escape sequence if needed by a subsequent character. For example for the string concatenation "\0" "1", gdb will print "\000\061" -- because printing "\0001" might be confusing. However, this code has two errors. First, this logic is not needed for octal escapes, because there is a length limit of 3 for octal escapes, and gdb always prints these with "%.3o". Second, though, this *is* needed for hex escapes, because those do not have a length limit. This patch fixes these problems and adds the appropriate tests.
2022-10-10Don't use wchar_printable in print_wcharTom Tromey1-6/+5
print_wchar uses wchar_printable, but this isn't needed -- all the relevant cases are already handled by the 'switch'. This changes the code to use gdb_iswprint, and removes a somewhat confusing comment related to this code.
2022-10-10Boolify need_escape in generic_emit_charTom Tromey1-6/+6
This changes 'need_escape' in generic_emit_char to be of type bool, rather than int.
2022-10-10Fix latent quote char bug in generic_printstrTom Tromey1-1/+1
generic_printstr prints an empty string like: fputs_filtered ("\"\"", stream); However, this seems wrong to me if the quote character is something other than double quote. This patch fixes this latent bug. Thanks to Andrew for the test case. Co-authored-by: Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>

2022-08-05[gdb] Add debug_{exp,val}Tom de Vries1-0/+12
When debugging cc1 I heavily rely on simple one-parameter debug functions that allow me to inspect a variable of a common type, like: - debug_generic_expr - debug_gimple_stmt - debug_rtx and I miss similar functions in gdb. Add functions to dump variables of types 'value' and 'expression': - debug_exp, and - debug_val. Tested on x86_64-linux, by breaking on varobj_create, and doing: ... (gdb) call debug_exp (var->root->exp.get ()) &"Operation: OP_VAR_VALUE\n" &" Block symbol:\n" &" Symbol: aaa\n" &" Block: 0x2d064f0\n" (gdb) ... and: ... (gdb) call debug_val (value) &"5" (gdb) ...
2022-06-20Move finish_print out of value_print_optionsTom Tromey1-1/+0
'finish_print' does not really belong in value_print_options -- this is consulted only when deciding whether or not to print a value, and never during the course of printing. This patch removes it from the structure and makes it a static global in infcmd.c instead. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
2022-06-18gdb: Add new 'print nibbles' featureEnze Li1-1/+47
Make an introduction of a new print setting that can be set by 'set print nibbles [on|off]'. The default value if OFF, which can be changed by user manually. Of course, 'show print nibbles' is also included in the patch. The new feature displays binary values by group, with four bits per group. The motivation for this work is to enhance the readability of binary values. Here's a GDB session before this patch is applied. (gdb) print var_a $1 = 1230 (gdb) print/t var_a $2 = 10011001110 With this patch applied, we can use the new print setting to display the new form of the binary values. (gdb) print var_a $1 = 1230 (gdb) print/t var_a $2 = 10011001110 (gdb) set print nibbles on (gdb) print/t var_a $3 = 0100 1100 1110 Tested on x86_64 openSUSE Tumbleweed.
2022-04-14Move target_read_string to target/target.cTom Tromey1-172/+0
This moves the two overloads of target_read_string to a new file, target/target.c, and updates both gdb and gdbserver to build this.
2022-04-14Remove the byte order parameter to target_read_stringTom Tromey1-5/+7
target_read_string takes a byte order parameter, but only uses this to check whether a given character is zero. This is readily done without requiring the parameter, so remove it.
2022-04-14Rename read_stringTom Tromey1-5/+7
This renames read_string to be an overload of target_read_string. This makes it more consistent for the eventual merger with gdbserver.
2022-04-14Don't call QUIT in read_stringTom Tromey1-3/+0
read_string does not need to call QUIT, because target_read_memory already does. This change is needed to make string-reading usable by gdbserver.
2022-03-29Rename print_spaces_filteredTom Tromey1-3/+3
print_spaces_filtered is now misnamed, because whether filtering happens is up to the stream. So, rename it.
2022-03-29Unify gdb printf functionsTom Tromey1-88/+88
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name "gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.

2022-03-14Correctly print subrange types in generic_value_printTom Tromey1-1/+8
I noticed that generic_value_print assumes that a subrange type is always a subrange of an integer type. However, this isn't necessarily the case. In Ada, for example, one has subranges of character and enumeration types. This code isn't often exercised, I think, because languages with real subrange types tend to implement their own printers. However, it still seemed worth fixing.
2022-02-14Remove LA_PRINT_STRINGTom Tromey1-4/+3
This removes the LA_PRINT_STRING macro, in favor of using ordinary method calls.
2022-02-14Remove LA_PRINT_CHARTom Tromey1-1/+1
This removes the LA_PRINT_CHAR macro, in favor of using ordinary method calls.
2022-02-06Merge do_val_print and common_val_printTom Tromey1-35/+21
The only caller of do_val_print just does a small bit of work before the call. This patch merges the two functions, and removes an unnecessary local variable, making gdb a bit simpler.
2022-01-26Always call the wrap_here methodTom Tromey1-1/+1
This changes all existing calls to wrap_here to call the method on the appropriate ui_file instead. The choice of ui_file is determined by context.
2022-01-26Convert wrap_here to use integer parameterTom Tromey1-1/+1
I think it only really makes sense to call wrap_here with an argument consisting solely of spaces. Given this, it seemed better to me that the argument be an int, rather than a string. This patch is the result. Much of it was written by a script.
2022-01-18Move gdb obstack code to gdbsupportTom Tromey1-1/+1
This moves the gdb-specific obstack code -- both extensions like obconcat and obstack_strdup, and things like auto_obstack -- to gdbsupport.
