This started with me running into this comment in symfile.c:
/* FIXME, should use print_sys_errmsg but it's not filtered. */
gdb_printf (_("`%ps' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.\n"),
styled_string (file_name_style.style (), filename));
In this particular case I think I disagree with the comment; I think
the output should be a warning rather than just a message printed to
gdb_stdout, I think when the executable, or some other objfile that is
currently being debugged, disappears from disk, this is likely an
unexpected situation, and worth warning the user about.
So, in theory, I could just call print_sys_errmsg and remove the
comment, but that would mean loosing the filename styling in the
output... so in the end I remove the comment and updated the code to
call warning.
But that got me looking at print_sys_errmsg and how it's used.
Currently the function takes a string and an errno, and prints, to
stderr, the string followed by the result of calling strerror on the
errno.
In some places the string passed to print_sys_errmsg is just a
filename, and this is used when something goes wrong. In these cases,
I think calling warning rather than gdb_printf to gdb_stderr, would be
better, and in fact, in a couple of places we manually print a
"warning" prefix, and then call print_sys_errmsg. And so, for these
users I have added a new function warning_filename_and_errno, which
takes a filename, which is printed with styling, and an errno, which
is passed through strerror and the resulting string printed. This new
function calls warning to print its output. I then updated some of
the print_sys_errmsg users to use this new function.
Some other users of print_sys_errmsg are also emitting what is clearly
a warning, however, the string being passed in is more than just a
filename, so the new warning_filename_and_errno function can't be
used, it would style the whole string. For these users I have
switched to calling warning directly, this allows me to style the
warning message correctly.
Finally, in inflow.c there is one last call to print_sys_errmsg, in
this case I just inlined the definition of print_sys_errmsg. This is
a really weird case, as after printing this message GDB just does a
hard exit. This is pretty old code, dating back to the initial GDB
import, I guess it should be updated to call error() maybe, but I'm
reluctant to make this change as part of this commit, just in case
there's some reason why we can't throw an error at this point.
With that done there are now no users of print_sys_errmsg, and so the
old function can be removed.
While I was doing all of the above I added some additional filename
styling in soure.c, this is in an else block where the if contained
the print_sys_errmsg call, so these felt related.
And finally, while I was updating the uses of print_sys_errmsg in
procfs.c, I noticed that we used a static errmsg buffer to format some
error strings. As the above changes got rid of one of the users of
errmsg I also removed the other two users, and the static buffer.
There were a couple of tests that depended on the existing output
message format that needed updating. In one case we gained an extra
'warning: ' prefix, and in the other 'Warning: ' becomes 'warning: ',
I think in both cases the new output is an improvement.

I noticed a comment by an include and remembered that I think these
don't really provide much value -- sometimes they are just editorial,
and sometimes they are obsolete. I think it's better to just remove
them. Tested by rebuilding.

Currently, each target backend is responsible for printing "[Thread
...exited]" before deleting a thread. This leads to unnecessary
differences between targets, like e.g. with the remote target, we
never print such messages, even though we do print "[New Thread ...]".
E.g., debugging the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp
with gdbserver, letting it run for a bit, and then pressing Ctrl-C, we
currently see:

This commit fixes this by moving the thread exit printing to common
code instead, triggered from within delete_thread (or rather,
set_thread_exited).
There's one wrinkle, though. While most targest want to print:
[Thread ... exited]
the Windows target wants to print:
[Thread ... exited with code <exit_code>]
... and sometimes wants to suppress the notification for the main
thread. To address that, this commits adds a delete_thread_with_code
function, only used by that target (so far).
This fix was originally posted as part of a larger series:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20221212203101.1034916-1-pedro@palves.net/
But didn't really need to be part of that series. In order to get
this fix merged sooner, I (Andrew Burgess) have rebased this commit
outside of the original series. Any bugs introduced while splitting
this patch out and rebasing, are entirely my own.

As Hannes pointed out, the Windows target-async patches broke C-c
handling there. Looking into this, I found a few oddities, fixed
here.
First, windows_nat_target::interrupt calls GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent.
I think this event can be ignored by the inferior, so it's not a great
way to interrupt. Instead, using DebugBreakProcess (or a more
complicated thing for Wow64) seems better.
Second, windows_nat_target did not implement the pass_ctrlc method.
Implementing this lets us remove the special code to call
SetConsoleCtrlHandler and instead integrate into gdb's approach to C-c
handling. I believe that this should also fix the race that's
described in the comment that's being removed.
Initially, I thought a simpler version of this patch would work.
However, I think what happens is that some other library (I'm not sure
what) calls SetConsoleCtrlHandler while gdb is running, and this
intercepts and handles C-c -- so that the gdb SIGINT handler is not
called. C-break continues to work, presumably because whatever
handler is installed ignores it.
This patch works around this issue by ensuring that the gdb handler
always comes first.

I noticed that windows_nat_target::interrupt calls registers_changed.
However, I don't think there's any reason to do this, because this
will happen automatically when the inferior stop is processed.

This patch fixes a static initialization order problem in
windows-nat.c that was pointed out by Jon Turney. The underlying
problem is that the windows_nat_target constructor relies on
serial_logfile already being constructed, but this is not enforced by
C++ rules. This patch fixes the problem by initializing the global
windows_nat_target later.

Update code under __CYGWIN__ which accesses inferior process information
which is now stored in windows_process_info rather than globals.
|
|
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.

This implements target async for Windows. The basic idea is to have
the worker thread block in WaitForDebugEvent, then notify the event
loop when an event is seen. In a few situations, this blocking
behavior is undesirable, so the functions passed to do_synchronously
are changed to return a boolean indicating which behavior is needed.
|
|
On Windows, certain debugging APIs can only be called from the thread
that started (or attached) to the inferior. Also, there is no way on
Windows to wait for a debug event in addition to other events.
Therefore, in order to implement target async for Windows, gdb will
have to call some functions in a worker thread.
This patch implements the worker thread and moves the necessary
operations there. Target async isn't yet implemented, so this patch
does not cause any visible changes.

When working on windows-nat.c, it's useful to see an error message in
addition to the error number given by GetLastError. This patch moves
strwinerror from gdbserver to gdbsupport, and then updates
windows-nat.c to use it. A couple of minor changes to strwinerror
(constify the return type and use the ARRAY_SIZE macro) are also
included.
|
|
windows_nat_target::detach has a variable 'detached' that is only set
after a call to 'error'. However, this can't happen because 'error'
throws an exception.
This patch removes the dead code.

I built GDB for all targets on a x86-64/GNU-Linux system, and
then (accidentally) passed GDB a RISC-V binary, and asked GDB to "run"
the binary on the native target. I got this error:
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386").
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.rv32.exe
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.rv32.exe...
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "riscv:rv32").
(gdb) run

../../src/gdb/i387-tdep.c:596: internal-error: i387_supply_fxsave: Assertion `tdep->st0_regnum >= I386_ST0_REGNUM' failed.
What's going on here is this; initially the architecture is i386, this
is based on the default architecture, which is set based on the native
target. After loading the RISC-V executable the architecture of the
current inferior is updated based on the architecture of the
executable.
When we "run", GDB does a fork & exec, with the inferior being
controlled through ptrace. GDB sees an initial stop from the inferior
as soon as the inferior comes to life. In response to this stop GDB
ends up calling save_stop_reason (linux-nat.c), which ends up trying
to read register from the inferior, to do this we end up calling
target_ops::fetch_registers, which, for the x86-64 native target,
calls amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers.
After this I eventually end up in i387_supply_fxsave, different x86
based targets will end in different functions to fetch registers, but
it doesn't really matter which function we end up in, the problem is
this line, which is repeated in many places:
i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
The problem here is that the ARCH in this line comes from the current
inferior, which, as we discussed above, will be a RISC-V gdbarch, the
tdep field will actually be of type riscv_gdbarch_tdep, not
i386_gdbarch_tdep. After this cast we are relying on undefined
behaviour, in my case I happen to trigger an assert, but this might
not always be the case.
The thing I tried that exposed this problem was of course, trying to
start an executable of the wrong architecture on a native target. I
don't think that the correct solution for this problem is to detect,
at the point of cast, that the gdbarch_tdep object is of the wrong
type, but, I did wonder, is there a way that we could protect
ourselves from incorrectly casting the gdbarch_tdep object?
I think that there is something we can do here, and this commit is the
first step in that direction, though no actual check is added by this
commit.
This commit can be split into two parts:
(1) In gdbarch.h and arch-utils.c. In these files I have modified
gdbarch_tdep (the function) so that it now takes a template argument,
like this:
template<typename TDepType>
static inline TDepType *
gdbarch_tdep (struct gdbarch *gdbarch)
{
struct gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep_1 (gdbarch);
return static_cast<TDepType *> (tdep);
}
After this change we are no better protected, but the cast is now
done within the gdbarch_tdep function rather than at the call sites,
this leads to the second, much larger change in this commit,
(2) Everywhere gdbarch_tdep is called, we make changes like this:
- i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
+ i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep<i386_gdbarch_tdep> (arch);
There should be no functional change after this commit.
In the next commit I will build on this change to add an assertion in
gdbarch_tdep that checks we are casting to the correct type.

This changes windows_process_info to use virtual methods for its
callbacks, and then changes the two clients of this code to subclass
this class to implement the methods.
I considered using CRTP here, but that would require making the new
structures visible to the compilation of of nat/windows-nat.c. This
seemed like a bit of a pain, so I didn't do it.
This change then lets us change all the per-inferior globals to be
members of the new subclass. Note that there can still only be a
single inferior -- currently there's a single global of the new type.
This is just another step toward possibly implementing multi-inferior
for Windows.
It's possible this could be cleaned up further... ideally I'd like to
move more of the data into the base class. However, because gdb
supports Cygwin and gdbserver does not, and because I don't have a way
to build or test Cygwin, larger refactorings are difficult.

This patch turns some windows-nat.c static functions into methods on
windows_nat_target. This avoids having to reference the
windows_nat_target singleton in some more spots -- a minor code
cleanup.
|

On Windows, it is possible to disable ASLR when creating a process.
This patch adds code to do this, and hooks it up to gdb's existing
disable-randomization feature. Because the Windows documentation
cautions that this isn't available on all versions of Windows, the
CreateProcess wrapper function is updated to make the attempt, and
then fall back to the current approach if it fails.
|
|
This is a small refactoring that introduces a wrapper for the Windows
CreateProcess function. This is done to make the next patch a bit
simpler.

I noticed that gdbserver did not implement pid_to_exec_file for

This changes target_pid_to_exec_file and target_ops::pid_to_exec_file

a bit closer, and allows for the removal of a const_cast as well.

Currently, gdb's native Windows target implements the exception-based

preparation for adding this support to gdbserver.
|

I don't think there's any need to call init_thread_list in
windows-nat.c. This patch removes it. I tested this using the
internal AdaCore test suite on Windows, which FWIW does include some

|
nat/windows-nat.c has a number of globals that it uses to communicate
with its clients (gdb and gdbserver). However, if we ever want the
Windows ports to be multi-inferior, globals won't work.
This patch takes a step toward that by moving most nat/windows-nat.c
globals into a new struct windows_process_info. Many functions are
converted to be methods on this object.
A couple of globals remain, as they are needed to truly be global due
to the way that the Windows debugging APIs work.
The clients still have a global for the current process. That is,
this patch is a step toward the end goal, but doesn't implement the
goal itself.
|
|
windows-nat.c uses some manual memory management when manipulating the
thread_list global. Changing this to use unique_ptr simplifies the
code, in particular windows_init_thread_list. (Note that, while I
think the the call to init_thread_list in there is wrong, I haven't
removed it in this patch.)
|
|
One spot in windows-nat.c can use auto_obstack, removing some manual
memory management.
|
|
Currently windows-nat.c uses struct so_list to record its local idea
of which shared libraries have been loaded. However, many fields in
this are not needed, and furthermore I found this quite confusing at
first -- Windows actually uses solib-target and so the use of so_list
here is weird.
This patch simplifies this code by changing it to use a std::vector
and a new type that holds exactly what's needed for the Windows code.

A number of spots call printf_unfiltered only because they are in code
that should not be interrupted by the pager. However, I believe these
cases are all handled by infrun's blanket ban on paging, and so can be
converted to the default (_filtered) API.
After this patch, I think all the remaining _unfiltered calls are ones
that really ought to be. A few -- namely in complete_command -- could
be replaced by a scoped assignment to pagination_enabled, but for the
remainder, the code seems simple enough like this.

This moves the gdb-specific obstack code -- both extensions like
obconcat and obstack_strdup, and things like auto_obstack -- to

target_announce_detach was added in commit 0f48b757 ("Factor out
"Detaching from program" message printing"). There, Pedro wrote:
(For now, I left the couple targets that print this a bit differently
alone. Maybe this could be further pulled out into infcmd.c. If we
did that, and those targets want to continue printing differently,
this new function could be converted to a target method.)
It seems to me that the differences aren't very big, and in some cases
other targets handled the output a bit more nicely. In particular,
some targets will print a different message when exec_file==NULL,
rather than printing the same output with an empty string as
exec_file.
This patch incorporates the nicer output into target_announce_detach,
then changes the remaining ports to use this function.
|
|
This introduces target_announce_attach, by analog with
target_announce_detach. Then it converts existing targets to use
this, rather than emitting their own output by hand.
|
|
A warning in windows-nat.c can be converted to use the warning
function. As a side effect, this arranges for the output to be sent
to gdb_stderr.
