Add a pre-commit [1] config file, with a single hook to run black on the
gdb directory whenever a Python file is modified. We can always add
more hooks if we find some that are useful.
Using pre-commit to run hooks is opt-in, as in it's not mandatory at all
for development, but it can be useful to run some checks that are easy
to forget (like running black). The hooks run locally on the
developer's machine when doing `git commit` (although they can also be
configured to run at other stages of the git workflow).
Follow these instructions to install the hooks in your local development
git repository:
- Install pre-commit the way you prefer. It can be using your OS
package manager if it has a recent enough version, or using `pip
install pre-commit`.
- Go to the binutils-gdb repository and run `pre-commit install`.
This installs a git hook at `.git/hooks/pre-commit`.
Now, whenever you modify and try to commit a Python file, pre-commit
will run black on it. For instance, if I try to insert something
misformatted, I get this when doing `git commit`:
$ git commit
black....................................................................Failed
- hook id: black
- files were modified by this hook
reformatted gdb/python/lib/gdb/dap/breakpoint.py
All done! ✨ 🍰 ✨
1 file reformatted.
At this point, black has already reformatted the files in place, so the
changes that fix the formatting are ready to add and commit. black is
only ran on files modified in the commit.
The hook defines a black version, which is downloaded at `pre-commit
install` time. pre-commit manages its own env at
`$HOME/.cache/pre-commit/<some-hash>`, so it won't use the version of
black you have installed already. This may help ensure that
contributors use the right black version.
The procedure when there is a new version of black (or a new version of
any hook we might be using in the future) is:
- Modify .pre-commit-config.yaml to change the version number, push to
the upstream repo.
- Have contributors run `pre-commit autoupdate` to make their local
pre-commit installation update the hooks.
It is possible to have pre-commit skip some hooks if needed [2].
I will add these instructions to the wiki if this patch gets merged, so
they are easy to find. We could perhaps think of having a
gdb/CONTRIBUTING document of some sort checked in the repo with that
kind of information.
I have not used pre-commit in a real project before, but have heard good
things from it. If we want to give it a try before pushing it to the
repo, some volunteers can copy the .pre-commit-config.yaml file locally
and try it for some time. However, pushing the file upstream is not
going to impact anybody who doesn't care about it, so I'd say it's
relatively low-risk to push it right now.

Currently it's not possible to call functions if an argument is a
pointer to an array:
```
(gdb) l f
1 int f (int (*x)[2])
2 {
3 return x[0][1];
4 }
5
6 int main()
7 {
8 int a[2][2] = {{0, 1}, {2, 3}};
9 return f (a);
10 }
(gdb) p f(a)
Cannot resolve function f to any overloaded instance
```
This happens because types_equal doesn't handle array types, so the
function is never even considered as a possibility.
With array type handling added, by comparing element types and array
bounds, the same works:
```
(gdb) p f(a)
$1 = 1
```

Now, there exists syscalls/loongarch-linux.xml, let us set the correct
XML syscall filename for LoongArch, otherwise GDB won't be able to find
the correct XML file to open and get the syscalls definitions.
It should install the package expat-devel (a library for XML parsing)
and configure --with-expat (done by default if libexpat is installed
and found at configure time) for compiling gdb in this case.
Without this patch:

There is no syscall.tbl for LoongArch because it uses generic syscalls,
so it can not generate loongarch-linux.xml.in automatically through the
script update-linux-from-src.sh, make use of the script update-linux.sh
to generate loongarch-linux.xml.in.
Like this:
$ git clone https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git gdb.git
$ cd gdb.git/gdb/syscalls/
$ touch loongarch-linux.xml.in
$ ./update-linux.sh loongarch-linux.xml.in
Note that the system header file /usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h
may be different with the latest upstream Linux kernel uapi header
file include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h, it is better to copy the
upstream header file into the system header file when generating
loongarch-linux.xml.in.
There exist some __NR3264_ prefixed syscall numbers, replace them
with digital numbers according to /usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h
and sort them by syscall number manually, maybe we can modify the
script to do it automatically in the future.

On arm-linux, with gas 2.40, I run into:

This is a regression due to PR gas/31115, which makes gas produce a low_pc

I noticed that "info locals" on a certain large Ada program was very
slow. I tracked this down to ada_get_tsd_type expanding nearly every
CU in the program.
This patch fixes the problem by changing this code to use the more
efficient lookup_transparent_type which, unlike the Ada-specific
lookup functions, does not try to find all matching instances.
Note that I first tried fixing this by changing ada_find_any_type, but
this did not work -- I may revisit this approach at some later date.
Also note that the copyright dates on the test files are set that way
because I copied them from another test.
New in v2: the new test failed on the Linaro regression tester.
Looking at the logs, it seems that gdb was picking up a 'value' from
libgnat:
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0xf7e227a4 <ada.calendar.formatting.value>
This version renames the local variable in an attempt to work around
this.
v3: In v2, while trying to reproduce the problem locally, I
accidentally forgot to commit one of the changes.

flake8 points out that some code in frame_filters.py is referring to
undefined variables.
In the first hunk, I've changed the code to match what other
'complete' methods do in this file.
In the second hunk, I've simply removed the try/except -- if
get_filter_priority fails, it will raise GdbError, which is already
handled properly by gdb.

The gdb.solib_name() and Progspace.solib_name() functions can throw an
exception if the address argument is not a valid address, but this is
not currently tested.
This commit adds a couple of tests to check that exceptions are thrown
correctly.
An early version of this commit updated the documentation, but it was
pointed out that lots of functions throw an exception if passed an
argument of the wrong type, and we don't document all of these, it's
kind-of assumed that passing an object of the incorrect type might
result in an exception, so this updated version leaves the docs alone,
but I do think adding the extra tests has value.
There's no changes to GDB itself in this commit.

This commit:
commit 6fe4779ac4b1874c995345e3eabd89cb1a05fbdf
Date: Sat Feb 24 11:00:20 2024 +0100
[gdb/build] Fix static cast of virtual base
addressed an issue where GDB would not compile in production mode due
to a use of gdb::checked_static_cast. The problem was that we were
asking GDB to cast from a virtual base class to a sub-class, this
works fine when using dynamic_cast, but does not work with
static_cast.
The gdb::checked_static_cast actually uses dynamic_cast under the hood
in development mode in order to ensure that the cast is valid, while
in a production build we use static_cast as this is more efficient.
What this meant however, was that when gdb::checked_static_cast was
used to cast from a virtual base class, the dynamic_cast of a
non-production build worked fine, while the production build's
static_cast caused a build failure.
However, the gdb::checked_static_cast function already contains some
static_assert calls that are intended to catch any issues with invalid
type casting, the goal of these asserts was to prevent issues like
this: the build only failing in production mode. Clearly the current
asserts are not enough.
I don't think there is a std::is_virtual_base type trait check, so
what I propose instead is that in non-production mode we also make use
of static_cast. This will ensure that any errors that crop up in
production mode should also be revealed in non-production mode, and
should catch issues like this in the future.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

In commit 2aaba744467 ("[gdb] Fix "value is not available" with debug frame")
I fixed a case in frame_unwind_register_value where using "set debug frame on"
caused an "info frame" command to abort, reporting a "value is not available"
error, due to the tpidruro register being unavailable.
Subsequently, commit bbb12eb9c84 ("gdb/arm: Remove tpidruro register from
non-FreeBSD target descriptions") removed the unavailable register, which
caused a progression on test-case gdb.base/inline-frame-cycle-unwind.exp.
While investigating the progression (see PR python/31437), I found that the
"debug frame" output of the test-case (when reverting commit bbb12eb9c84)
showed a smilar problem:
...
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: value is not available^M
...
that was absent without "debug frame".
Fix this likewise in fetch_lazy_register, and update the test-case to check
for the exception.
Furthermore, I realized that there's both value::entirely_available and
value::entirely_unavailable, and that commit 2aaba744467 handled the case
of !entirely_available by printing unavailable.
Instead, print:
- "unavailable" for entirely_unavailable, and
- "partly unavailable" for !entirely_unavailable && !entirely_available.
Tested on x86_64-linux and arm-linux.

The following instructions are added in this patch:
- ADDPT (predicated): Add checked pointer vectors (predicated).
- ADDPT (unpredicated): Add checked pointer vectors (unpredicated).
- SUBPT (predicated): Subtract checked pointer vectors (predicated).
- SUBPT (unpredicated): Subtract checked pointer vectors (unpredicated).
- MADPT: Multiply-add checked pointer vectors, writing multiplicand
- MLAPT: Multiply-add checked pointer vectors, writing addend
These instructions are part of Checked Pointer Arithmetic extension
and are enabled when both CPA and SVE are enabled. To achieve this,
both flag "+sve" and "+cpa" should be active.
This patch adds assembler and disassembler support for these instructions
with relevant checks. Tests are included as well.
Regression tested on the aarch64-none-linux-gnu target and no regressions
have been found.

ada_bitwise_operation differs from the "usual" bitwise operations only
in that it calls value_cast at the end. However, because gdb is
generally fairly lax about integer types, and because (perhaps oddly)
C-style binary promotion is done here anyway, it seems to me that this
code isn't needed.

ptype is a bit funny, in that it accepts both expressions and type
names. It also evaluates the resulting expression using
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS -- which both seems sensible (as a user would
you expect ptype to possibly cause inferior execution?), but is also a
historical artifact of how expressions are implemented (there's no
EVAL_FOR_TYPE).
In Ada, calling a function with an array will sometimes result in a
"thick pointer" array descriptor being made. This is essentially a
structure holding a pointer and bounds information.
Currently, in such a callee, printing the type of the array will yield
funny results:
(gdb) print str.all
$1 = "Hello World"
(gdb) ptype str
type = array (<>) of character
(gdb) ptype str.all
type = array (1 .. 0) of character
That "1 .. 0" is the result of an EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS branch
trying to do "something" with an array descriptor, without doing too
much.
I tried briefly to make this code really dereference the array
descriptor and get the correct runtime type. However, that proved to
be tricky; it certainly can't be done for all access types, because
that will cause dynamic type resolution and end up printing just the
runtime type -- which with variants may be pretty far from what the
user may expect.
Instead, this patch arranges to just leave such types alone in this
situation. I don't think this should have an extra effects, because
things like array subscripting still work on thick pointers.
This patch also touches arrayptr.exp, because in that case the access
type is a "thin pointer", and this ensures that the output does not
change in that scenario.

quirk_rust_enum makes string copies to store in an unordered_map.
However, the original strings have an appropriate lifetime, and so no
copying is needed. With C++17, we can rely on string_view having a
std::hash specialization, so this patch changes this code to use
string_view rather than string.

When certain DAP tests are run in a certain order, dejagnu will throw
an exception during shutdown. After adding many logging statements, I
tracked this down to kill_wait_spawned_process not clearing the
'fileid' board_info entry, causing dejagnu to try to wait for the
process a second time -- and fail.
Tom de Vries then pointed out a second instance of this, which I
tracked down to the same problem occurring when spawning gdbserver.
This version of the patch fixes this by adding a new proc that can be
used to clean up board_info after waiting for a process to exit. I'm
not sure why this problem hasn't affected the test suite in the past.

Fedora GDB has carried around a patch for a while which tested
attaching to an i386 process which is stopped within the vDSO library
region. Apparently, at some point in the distant past there was an
issue finding symbol information for this region in this situation.
I'm struggling to track down the precise details of what the original
bug was, however, acquiring symbol information for the vDSO region is
different than for "normal" shared libraries -- the vDSO information
is synthesised within GDB during the attach / inferior creation
process -- so it's not unreasonable to imagine that there could be a
bug specifically in this area of GDB which wouldn't impact "normal"
shared libraries.
I looked for references to vDSO in our testsuite and couldn't find
any tests that looked like they did the same sort of thing, so I'd
like to propose adding this test to our testsuite.
It's a pretty simple test, and doesn't take long to run, so the cost
of adding this is not huge.
