A 32-bit host with --enable-64-bit-bfd --target=xtensa-lx106-elf give:
gas/config/tc-xtensa.c: In function ‘xg_get_best_chain_entry’:
gas/config/tc-xtensa.c:7689:11: error: absolute value function ‘labs’ given an argument of type ‘offsetT’ {aka ‘long long int’} but has parameter of type ‘long int’ which may cause truncation of value [-Werror=absolute-value]
7689 | if (labs (off) >= J_RANGE - J_MARGIN)
| ^~~~
Let's not use labs. Unlike labs vma_abs deliberately returns an
unsigned value, and does the negation in an unsigned type so that
signed overflow can't happen.
* config/tc-xtensa.c (vma_abs): New function.
(xg_get_best_chain_entry, xg_get_fulcrum, xg_find_best_trampoline),
(xg_is_relaxable_fixup): Use in place of labs.

This is a followup to commt 619f863c55ca "dlltool memory leaks".
The name passed to def_name is freed, so if missing we can't just
use "". strdup it.

The linker scripts for AArch64 and TIC6x were probably originally copied from
Arm testsuite, and contain the same typo in the name of the attributes section.
This patch fixes the typo across all the testsuites.

When writing commit 28f15782adab ("gdb/dwarf: read multiple .debug_info.dwo
sections"), I initially thought that the gcc behavior of producing multiple
.debug_info.dwo sections was a bug (it is not). I updated the commit
message, but it looks like this comment stayed. Remove it, since it can
be misleading.

While C++ifying the solib code, I concluded that all arches that use
SVR4 libraries do provide link map offsets, so I think this function is
unnecessary now.

Running gdb.cp/cpexprs.exp on x86-64 GNU/Linux, I see:

I noticed on Cygwin, gdb.thread/thread-execl.exp would hang, (not that
surprising since we can't follow-exec on Cygwin). Looking at the
process list running on the machine, we end up with a thread-execl.exe
process constantly respawning another process [1].
We see the same constant-reexec if we launch gdb.thread/thread-execl
manually on the shell:
$ ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/thread-execl/thread-execl
# * doesn't exit, constantly re-execing *
^C
Prevent this leftover constantly-re-execing scenario by making the
testcase program only exec once. We now get:
$ ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/thread-execl/thread-execl
$ # exits immediately after one exec.
On Cygwin, the testcase now fails reasonably quickly, and doesn't
leave stale processes behind.
Still passes cleanly on x86-64 GNU/Linux.
[1] Cygwin's exec emulation spawns a new Windows process for the new
image.

Cygwin supports dumping ELF cores via a dumper.exe utility, see
https://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dumper.html.
When I run a testcase that has the "kernel" generate a corefile, like
gdb.base/corefile.exp, Cygwin invokes dumper.exe correctly and
generates an ELF core file, however, the testsuite doesn't find the
generated core:
Running /home/alves/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/corefile.exp ...
WARNING: can't generate a core file - core tests suppressed - check ulimit -c
The file is correctly put under $coredir, e.g., like so:
outputs/gdb.base/corefile/coredir.8926/corefile.exe.core
The problem is in this line in core_find:
foreach i "${coredir}/core ${coredir}/core.coremaker.c ${binfile}.core" {
Note that that isn't looking for "${binfile}.core" inside
${coredir}... That is fixed in this patch.
However, that still isn't sufficient for Cygwin + dumper, as in that
case the core is going to be called foo.exe.core, not foo.core. Fix
that by looking for foo.exe.core in the core dir as well.
With this, gdb.base/corefile.exp and other tests that use core_find
now run. They don't pass cleanly, but at least now they're exercised.

The gdb.base/sigall.exp testcase has many FAILs on Cygwin currently.
From:
Thread 1 "sigall" received signal SIGPWR, Power fail/restart.
0x00007ffeac9ed134 in ntdll!ZwWaitForSingleObject () from /cygdrive/c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/sigall.exp: get signal LOST
we see two issues. The test is expecting "Program received ..." which
only appears if the inferior is single-threaded. All Cygwin inferiors
are multi-threaded, because both Windows and the Cygwin runtime spawn
a few helper threads.
And then, SIGLOST is the same as SIGPWR on Cygwin. The testcase
already knows to treat them the same on SPARC64 GNU/Linux. We just
need to extend the relevant code to treat Cygwin the same.
With this, the test passes cleanly on Cygwin.

The gdb.arch/amd64-watchpoint-downgrade.exp testcase is assuming the
output of debugging a single-thread program, like so, on e.g.,
GNU/Linux:

Program stopped.

However, on Cygwin, where all inferiors are multi-threaded (because

get:

Now that most of the effort of updating the number of feature words is
handled by macros, add an additional one, taking the number of
supported features to 192.
|
|
There are quite a few macros that need to be changed when we need to
increase the number of words in the features data structure. With
some macro trickery we can automate most of this so that a single
macro needs to be updated.
With C2X we could probably do even better by using recursion, but this
is still a much better situation than we had previously.
A static assertion is used to ensure that there is always enough space
in the flags macro for the number of feature bits we need to support.
|
|
|
|
The values are unsigned, and changing the types allows some casts to
be removed.
|
|
I was puzzling over how it was correct to cast what is clearly a
struct line_entry** pointer to a struct line_entry* pointer for a
few moments, and was going to write a comment but then decided we
really don't require the "next" pointer to be where it is. Replace
the assert with an inline function that does any necessary pointer
adjustments.
* dwarf2dbg.c (line_entry.next): Delete static assertion.
(line_entry_at_tail): New inline function.
(dwarf2_gen_line_info_1, dwarf2_finish): Replace casts in
set_or_check_view arguments with line_entry_at_tail.
|

Putting an explicit cast on the void* return from str_hash_find isn't
necessary and doesn't add much to code clarity. In other cases, poor
choice of function parameter types, eg. "void *value" in
tc-aarch64.c checked_hash_insert rather than "const void *value" leads
to needing (void *) casts all over the place just to cast away const.
Fix that by correcting the parameter type. (And it really is a const,
the function and str_hash_insert don't modify the strings.)
This patch also removes some unnecessary casts in hash.c
|
|
This changes the internal representation of string_tuple.value from
a void* to an intptr_t, removing any concerns that code wanting to
store an integer value will use values that are trap encodings or
suchlike for a pointer. The ISO C standard says any void* can be
converted to intptr_t and back again and will compare equal to the
original pointer. It does *not* say any intptr_t can be converted to
void* and back again to get the original integer..
Two new functions, str_hash_find_int and str_hash_insert_int are
provided for handling integer values. str_hash_find_int returns
(intptr_t) -1 on failing to find the key string.
Most target code need minimal changes to use the new interface, but
some simplification is possible since now a zero can be stored and
differentiated from the NULL "can't find" return. (Yes, that means
(intptr_t) -1 can't be stored.)
I've changed the avr_no_sreg_hash dummy value to zero, and the
loongarch register numbers don't need to be incremented. loongarch
also doesn't need to store an empty key string (if it ever did).

On s390x-linux, with test-case gdb.ada/dyn-bit-offset.exp and gcc 7.5.0 I get:

(gdb) XFAIL: $exp: print spr

$2 = -4^M
(gdb) PASS: $exp: print spr.field
...
In both cases, we're hitting the same compiler problem, but it manifests
differently on little and big endian.
Make sure the values seen for both little and big endian trigger xfails
for both tests.
Printing spr.field gives the expected value -4 for x86_64, but that's an
accident. Change the actual spr.field value to -5, to make sure
that we get the same number of xfails on x86_64 and s390x.
Finally, make the xfails conditional on the compiler version.
Tested using gcc 7.5.0 on both x86_64-linux and s390x-linux.

This patch locates the linker stubs / trampolines *after* all the .progmem
sections. This is the natural placement since progmem data has to reside
in the lower 64 KiB (it is accessed using LPM), whereas the linker stubs
are only required to be located in the lower 128 KiB of program memory.
(They must be in the range of EICALL / EIJMP with EIND = 0.)
The current location of the linker stubs was motivated by an invalid test
case from PR13812 that allocates more than 64 KiB of progmem data.
The patch adds an assertion that makes sure that no progmem data is
allocated past 0xffff.
Data that is accessed using ELPM should be located to .progmemx so that
no .progmem addresses are wasted. .progmemx was introduced in 2017 and
is used by __memx, __flashx and by the current AVR-LibC.
(The compiler uses .jumptables.gcc for its jump dispatch tables since
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63223 / GCC v4.9.2).

For reference see the previous commit.
Fix a memory leak in gdbscm_parse_command_name when a guile exception
is thrown. To reveal the memory leak I placed the following content
into a file 'leak.scm':
(use-modules (gdb))
(register-command!
(make-command
"break cmd"
#:command-class COMMAND_OBSCURE
#:invoke (lambda (self arg from-tty)
(display "Hello World"))))
Then in GDB:
(gdb) source leak.scm
ERROR: In procedure register-command!:
In procedure gdbscm_register_command_x: Out of range: 'break' is not a prefix command in position 1: "break cmd"
Error while executing Scheme code.
Running this under valgrind reveals a memory leak for 'result' and
'prefix_text' from gdbscm_parse_command_name.
Another leak can be revealed with this input script:
(use-modules (gdb))
(register-command!
(make-command
"unknown-prefix cmd"
#:command-class COMMAND_OBSCURE
#:invoke (lambda (self arg from-tty)
(display "Hello World"))))
This one occurs earlier in gdbscm_parse_command_name, and now only
'result' leaks.
The problem is that, when guile throws an exception then a longjmp is
performed from the function that raise the exception back to the guile
run-time. A consequence of this is that no function local destructors
will be run.
In gdbscm_parse_command_name, this means that the two function locals
`result` and `prefix_text` will not have their destructors run, and
any memory managed by these objects will be leaked.
Fix this by assigning nullptr to these two function locals before
throwing an exception. This will cause the managed memory to be
deallocated.
I could have implemented a fix that made use of Guile's dynwind
mechanism to register a cleanup callback, however, this felt like
overkill. At the point the exception is being thrown we know that we
no longer need the managed memory, so we might as well just free the
memory at that point.
With this fix in place, the two leaks are now fixed in the valgrind
output.

In gdbpy_parse_command_name (python/py-cmd.c) there is a call to
xmalloc that can easily be replaced with a call to
make_unique_xstrndup, which makes the code easier to read (I think).
In gdbscm_parse_command_name (guile/scm-cmd.c) the same fix can be
applied to remove an identical xmalloc call. And there is an
additional xmalloc call, which can also be replaced with
make_unique_xstrndup in the same way.
The second xmalloc call in gdbscm_parse_command_name was also present
in gdbpy_parse_command_name at one point, but was replaced with a use
of std::string by this commit:
commit 075c55e0cc0a68eeab777027213c2f545618e844
Date: Wed Dec 26 11:05:57 2018 -0700
Remove more calls to xfree from Python
I haven't changed the gdbscm_parse_command_name to use std::string
though, as that doesn't work well with the guile exception model.
Guile exceptions work by performing a longjmp from the function that
raises the exception, back to the guile run-time. The consequence of
this is that destructors are not run. For example, if
gdbscm_parse_command_name calls gdbscm_out_of_range_error, then any
function local objects in gdbscm_parse_command_name will not have
their destructors called.
What this means is that, for the existing `result` and `prefix_text`
locals, any allocated memory managed by these objects will be leaked
if an exception is called. However, fixing this is pretty easy, one
way is to just assign nullptr to these locals before raising the
exception, this would cause the allocated memory to be released.
But for std::string it is harder to ensure that the managed memory has
actually been released. We can call std::string::clear() and then
maybe std::string::shrink_to_fit(), but this is still not guaranteed
to release any managed memory. In fact, I believe the only way to
ensure all managed memory is released, is to call the std::string
destructor.
And so, for functions that can throw a guile exception, it is easier
to just avoid std::string.
As for the memory leak that I identify above; I'll fix that in a
follow on commit.

When the convenience variable $_linker_namespace was introduced, I meant
for it to print the namespace of the frame that where the user was
stopped. However, due to confusing what "current_frame" and
"selected_frame" meant, it instead printed the namespace of the
lowermost frame.
This commit updates the code to follow my original intent. Since the
variable was never in a GDB release, updating the behavior should not
cause any disruption. It also adds a test to verify the functionality.

Internal AdaCore testing using -gdwarf-4 found a spot where GCC will
emit a negative DW_AT_bit_offset. However, my recent signed/unsigned
changes assumed that this value had to be positive.
I feel this bug somewhat invalidates my previous thinking about how
DWARF attributes should be handled.
In particular, both GCC and LLVM at understand that a negative bit
offset can be generated -- but for positive offsets they might use a
smaller "data" form, which is expected not to be sign-extended. LLVM
has similar code but GCC does:
if (bit_offset < 0)
add_AT_int (die, DW_AT_bit_offset, bit_offset);
else
add_AT_unsigned (die, DW_AT_bit_offset, (unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT) bit_offset);
What this means is that this attribute is "signed but default
unsigned".
To fix this, I've added a new attribute::confused_constant method.
This should be used when a constant value might be signed, but where
narrow forms (e.g., DW_FORM_data1) should *not* cause sign extension.
I examined the GCC and LLVM DWARF writers to come up with the list of
attributes where this applies, namely DW_AT_bit_offset,
DW_AT_const_value and DW_AT_data_member_location (GCC only, but LLVM
always emits it as unsigned, so we're safe here).
This patch corrects the bug and imports the relevant test case.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 41.

Turns out that using 'set debug breakpoint on' will trigger an
assertion for 'catch' style breakpoints, e.g.:
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.x
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
(gdb) catch exec
Catchpoint 1 (exec)
(gdb) set debug breakpoint on
(gdb) start
[breakpoint] dump_condition_tokens: Tokens: { INFERIOR: "1" }
Temporary breakpoint 2 at 0x401198: file /tmp/hello.c, line 18.
[breakpoint] update_global_location_list: insert_mode = UGLL_MAY_INSERT
Starting program: /tmp/hello.x
[breakpoint] update_global_location_list: insert_mode = UGLL_MAY_INSERT
../../gdb-16.1/gdb/gdbarch-gen.c:1764: internal-error: gdbarch_addr_bit: Assertion `gdbarch != NULL' failed.
.... etc ...
The problem is that catch breakpoints don't set the
bp_location::gdbarch member variable, they a "dummy" location added
with a call to add_dummy_location (breakpoint.c).
The breakpoint_location_address_str function (which is only used for
breakpoint debug output) relies on bp_location::gdbarch being set in
order to call the paddress function.
I considered trying to ensure that the bp_location::gdbarch variable
is always set to sane value. For example, in add_dummy_location I
tried copying the gdbarch from the breakpoint object, and this does
work for the catchpoint case, but for some of the watchpoint cases,
even the breakpoint object has no gdbarch value set.
Now this seemed a little suspect, but, the more I thought about it, I
wondered if "fixing" the gdbarch was allowing me to solve the wrong
problem.
If the gdbarch was set, then this would allow us to print the address
field of the bp_location, which is going to be 0, after all, as this
is a dummy location, which has no address.
But does it really make sense to print the address 0? For some
targets, 0 is a valid address. But that wasn't an address we actually
selected, it's just the default value for dummy locations.
And we already have a helper function bl_address_is_meaningful, which
returns false for dummy locations.
So, I propose that in breakpoint_location_address_str, we use
bl_address_is_meaningful to detect dummy locations, and skip the
address printing code in that case.
For testing, I temporarily changed insert_bp_location so that
breakpoint_location_address_str was always called, even when
breakpoint debugging was off. I then ran the whole testsuite.
Without the fixes included in this commit I saw lots of assertion
failures, but with the fixes from this commit in place, I now see no
assertion failures.
I've added a new test which reveals the original assertion failure.

gdb: Make dwarf support optional at compile time
Introduced a change that made the configure script not POSIX compliant,
by using fallthrough in some case statements. This commit reworks that
part of the change to only use if statements, so that no code is
duplicated but things remain POSIX compliant.

For some reason, when testing GDB on Cygwin, I get:
child process exited abnormally
while executing
"exec sh -c "exec > /dev/null 2>&1 && (kill -2 -$spid || kill -2 $spid)""
(procedure "close_wait_program" line 20)
invoked from within

(procedure "remote_close" line 3)
invoked from within
"remote_close host"
(procedure "log_and_exit" line 30)
invoked from within
"log_and_exit"
When that happens from within clean_restart, clean_restart doesn't
clear the gdb_spawn_id variable, and then when clean_restart starts up
a new GDB, that sees that gdb_spawn_id is already set, so it doesn't
actually spawn a new GDB, and so clean_restart happens to reuse the
same GDB (!). Many tests happen to actually work OK with this, but
some don't, and the failure modes can be head-scratching.
Of course, the failure to close GDB should be fixed, but when it
happens, I think it's good to not end up with the current weird state.
Connecting the "child process exit abnormally" errors at the end of a
testcase run with weird FAILs in other testcases took me a while (as
in, weeks!), it wasn't obvious to me immediately.
Thus, this patch makes default_gdb_exit more resilient to failed
closes, so that gdb_spawn_id is unset even is closing GDB fails, and
we move on to start a new GDB.

The testcase added by this patch has a gdb_test_multiple call that
wants to match different lines of output that all have a common
prefix, and do different actions on each. Instead of a single regular
expression with alternatives, it's clearer code if the different
expressions are handled with different "-re", like so:
gdb_test_multiple "command" "" -lbl {
-re "^command(?=\r\n)" {
exp_continue
}
-re "^\r\nprefix foo(?=\r\n)" {
# Some action for "foo".
exp_continue
}
-re "^\r\nprefix bar(?=\r\n)" {
# Some action for "bar".
exp_continue
}
-re "^\r\nprefix \[^\r\n\]*(?=\r\n)" {
# Some action for all others.
exp_continue
}
-re "^\r\n$::gdb_prompt $" {
gdb_assert {$all_prefixes_were_seen} $gdb_test_name
}
}
Above, the leading anchors in the "^\r\nprefix..." matches are needed
to avoid too-eager matching due to the common prefix. Without the
anchors, if the expect output buffer happens to contain at least:
"\r\nprefix xxx\r\nprefix foo\r\n"
... then the "prefix foo" pattern match inadvertently consumes the
first "prefix xxx" line.
Without the anchor in the prompt match, like:
-re "\r\n$::gdb_prompt $" {
gdb_assert {$all_prefixes_were_seen} $gdb_test_name
}
Or the equivalent:
-re -wrap "" {
gdb_assert {$all_prefixes_were_seen} $gdb_test_name
}
... then if the expect buffer contains:
"\r\nmeant-to-be-matched-by-lbl\r\nprefix foo\r\n$gdb_prompt "
... then the prompt regexp matches this, consuming the "prefix" line
inadvertently, and we get a FAIL. The built-in regexp matcher for
-lbl doesn't get a chance to match the
"\r\nmeant-to-be-matched-by-lbl\r\n" part, because the built-in prompt
match appears first within gdb_test_multiple.
By adding the anchor to the prompt regexp, we avoid that problem.
However, the same expect output buffer contents will still match the
built-in prompt regexp. That is what is fixed by this patch. It
makes it so that if -lbl is specified, the built-in prompt regexp has
a leading anchor.

I decided to try to build and test gdb on Windows.
I found a page on the wiki [1] suggesting three ways of building gdb:
- MinGW,
- MinGW on Cygwin, and
- Cygwin.
I picked Cygwin, because I've used it before (though not recently).
I managed to install Cygwin and sufficient packages to build gdb and start the
testsuite.
However, testsuite progress ground to a halt at gdb.base/branch-to-self.exp.
[ AFAICT, similar problems reported here [2]. ]
I managed to reproduce this hang by running just the test-case.
I attempted to kill the hanging processes by:
- first killing the inferior process, using the cygwin "kill -9" command, and
- then killing the gdb process, likewise.
But the gdb process remained, and I had to point-and-click my way through task
manager to actually kill the gdb process.
I investigated this by attaching to the hanging gdb process. Looking at the
main thread, I saw it was stopped in a call to WaitForSingleObject, with
the dwMilliseconds parameter set to INFINITE.
The backtrace in more detail:

In the docs [3], I read that using an INFINITE argument to WaitForSingleObject
might cause a system deadlock.
This prompted me to try this simple change in wait_for_single:
...
while (true)
{
- DWORD r = WaitForSingleObject (handle, howlong);
+ DWORD r = WaitForSingleObject (handle,
+ howlong == INFINITE ? 100 : howlong);
+ if (howlong == INFINITE && r == WAIT_TIMEOUT)
+ continue;
...
with the timeout of 0.1 second estimated to be:
- small enough for gdb to feel reactive, and
- big enough not to consume too much cpu cycles with looping.
And indeed, the test-case, while still failing, now finishes in ~50 seconds.
While there may be an underlying bug that triggers this behaviour, the failure
mode is so severe that I consider it a bug in itself.
Fix this by avoiding calling WaitForSingleObject with INFINITE argument.
Tested on x86_64-cygwin, by running the testsuite past the test-case.

Based on feedback from IRC and PR solib/32959, this commit renames the
recently introduced convenience variable $_current_linker_namespace to
the shorter name $_linker_namespace. This makes it more in line with
existing convenience variables such as $_thread and $_inferior, and
faster to type.
It should be ok to simply change the name because the variable was never
released to the public, so there should be no existing scripts depending
on the name.
