2022-03-18gdb/python: remove gdb._mi_commands dictSimon Marchi1-0/+1
The motivation for this patch is the fact that py-micmd.c doesn't build with Python 2, due to PyDict_GetItemWithError being a Python 3-only function: CXX python/py-micmd.o /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-micmd.c: In function ‘int micmdpy_uninstall_command(micmdpy_object*)’: /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-micmd.c:430:20: error: ‘PyDict_GetItemWithError’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘PyDict_GetItemString’? 430 | PyObject *curr = PyDict_GetItemWithError (mi_cmd_dict.get (), | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | PyDict_GetItemString A first solution to fix this would be to try to replace PyDict_GetItemWithError equivalent Python 2 code. But I looked at why we are doing this in the first place: it is to maintain the `gdb._mi_commands` Python dictionary that we use as a `name -> gdb.MICommand object` map. Since the `gdb._mi_commands` dictionary is never actually used in Python, it seems like a lot of trouble to use a Python object for this. My first idea was to replace it with a C++ map (std::unordered_map<std::string, gdbpy_ref<micmdpy_object>>). While implementing this, I realized we don't really need this map at all. The mi_command_py objects registered in the main MI command table can own their backing micmdpy_object (that's a gdb.MICommand, but seen from the C++ code). To know whether an mi_command is an mi_command_py, we can use a dynamic cast. Since there's one less data structure to maintain, there are less chances of messing things up. - Change mi_command_py::m_pyobj to a gdbpy_ref, the mi_command_py is now what keeps the MICommand alive. - Set micmdpy_object::mi_command in the constructor of mi_command_py. If mi_command_py manages setting/clearing that field in swap_python_object, I think it makes sense that it also takes care of setting it initially. - Move a bunch of checks from micmdpy_install_command to swap_python_object, and make them gdb_asserts. - In micmdpy_install_command, start by doing an mi_cmd_lookup. This is needed to know whether there's a Python MI command already registered with that name. But we can already tell if there's a non-Python command registered with that name. Return an error if that happens, rather than waiting for insert_mi_cmd_entry to fail. Change the error message to "name is already in use" rather than "may already be in use", since it's more precise. I asked Andrew about the original intent of using a Python dictionary object to hold the command objects. The reason was to make sure the objects get destroyed when the Python runtime gets finalized, not later. Holding the objects in global C++ data structures and not doing anything more means that the held Python objects will be decref'd after the Python interpreter has been finalized. That's not desirable. I tried it and it indeed segfaults. Handle this by adding a gdbpy_finalize_micommands function called in finalize_python. This is the mirror of gdbpy_initialize_micommands called in do_start_initialization. In there, delete all Python MI commands. I think it makes sense to do it this way: if it was somehow possible to unload Python support from GDB in the middle of a session we'd want to unregister any Python MI command. Otherwise, these MI commands would be backed with a stale PyObject or simply nothing. Delete tests that were related to `gdb._mi_commands`.

2022-03-14gdb/python/mi: create MI commands using pythonAndrew Burgess1-0/+13
This commit allows a user to create custom MI commands using Python similarly to what is possible for Python CLI commands. A new subclass of mi_command is defined for Python MI commands, mi_command_py. A new file, gdb/python/py-micmd.c contains the logic for Python MI commands. This commit is based on work linked too from this mailing list thread: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2021-November/049774.html Which has also been previously posted to the mailing list here: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2019-May/158010.html And was recently reposted here: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-January/185190.html The version in this patch takes some core code from the previously posted patches, but also has some significant differences, especially after the feedback given here: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-February/185767.html A new MI command can be implemented in Python like this: class echo_args(gdb.MICommand): def invoke(self, args): return { 'args': args } echo_args("-echo-args") The 'args' parameter (to the invoke method) is a list containing (almost) all command line arguments passed to the MI command (--thread and --frame are handled before the Python code is called, and removed from the args list). This list can be empty if the MI command was passed no arguments. When used within gdb the above command produced output like this: (gdb) -echo-args a b c ^done,args=["a","b","c"] (gdb) The 'invoke' method of the new command must return a dictionary. The keys of this dictionary are then used as the field names in the mi command output (e.g. 'args' in the above). The values of the result returned by invoke can be dictionaries, lists, iterators, or an object that can be converted to a string. These are processed recursively to create the mi output. And so, this is valid: class new_command(gdb.MICommand): def invoke(self,args): return { 'result_one': { 'abc': 123, 'def': 'Hello' }, 'result_two': [ { 'a': 1, 'b': 2 }, { 'c': 3, 'd': 4 } ] } Which produces output like: (gdb) -new-command ^done,result_one={abc="123",def="Hello"},result_two=[{a="1",b="2"},{c="3",d="4"}] (gdb) I have required that the fields names used in mi result output must match the regexp: "^[a-zA-Z][-_a-zA-Z0-9]*$" (without the quotes). This restriction was never written down anywhere before, but seems sensible to me, and we can always loosen this rule later if it proves to be a problem. Much harder to try and add a restriction later, once people are already using the API. What follows are some details about how this implementation differs from the original patch that was posted to the mailing list. In this patch, I have changed how the lifetime of the Python gdb.MICommand objects is managed. In the original patch, these object were kept alive by an owned reference within the mi_command_py object. As such, the Python object would not be deleted until the mi_command_py object itself was deleted. This caused a problem, the mi_command_py were held in the global mi command table (in mi/mi-cmds.c), which, as a global, was not cleared until program shutdown. By this point the Python interpreter has already been shutdown. Attempting to delete the mi_command_py object at this point was causing GDB to try and invoke Python code after finalising the Python interpreter, and we would crash. To work around this problem, the original patch added code in python/python.c that would search the mi command table, and delete the mi_command_py objects before the Python environment was finalised. In contrast, in this patch, I have added a new global dictionary to the gdb module, gdb._mi_commands. We already have several such global data stores related to pretty printers, and frame unwinders. The MICommand objects are placed into the new gdb.mi_commands dictionary, and it is this reference that keeps the objects alive. When GDB's Python interpreter is shut down gdb._mi_commands is deleted, and any MICommand objects within it are deleted at this point. This change avoids having to make the mi_cmd_table global, and walk over it from within GDB's python related code. This patch handles command redefinition entirely within GDB's python code, though this does impose one small restriction which is not present in the original code (detailed below), I don't think this is a big issue. However, the original patch relied on being able to finish executing the mi_command::do_invoke member function after the mi_command object had been deleted. Though continuing to execute a member function after an object is deleted is well defined, it is also (IMHO) risky, its too easy for someone to later add a use of the object without realising that the object might sometimes, have been deleted. The new patch avoids this issue. The one restriction that is added to avoid this, is that an MICommand object can't be reinitialised with a different command name, so: (gdb) python cmd = MyMICommand("-abc") (gdb) python cmd.__init__("-def") can't reinitialize object with a different command name This feels like a pretty weird edge case, and I'm happy to live with this restriction. I have also changed how the memory is managed for the command name. In the most recently posted patch series, the command name is moved into a subclass of mi_command, the python mi_command_py, which inherits from mi_command is then free to use a smart pointer to manage the memory for the name. In this patch, I leave the mi_command class unchanged, and instead hold the memory for the name within the Python object, as the lifetime of the Python object always exceeds the c++ object stored in the mi_cmd_table. This adds a little more complexity in py-micmd.c, but leaves the mi_command class nice and simple. Next, this patch adds some extra functionality, there's a MICommand.name read-only attribute containing the name of the command, and a read-write MICommand.installed attribute that can be used to install (make the command available for use) and uninstall (remove the command from the mi_cmd_table so it can't be used) the command. This attribute will be automatically updated if a second command replaces an earlier command. This patch adds additional error handling, and makes more use the gdbpy_handle_exception function.

2022-01-26gdb/python: add gdb.history_count functionAndrew Burgess1-0/+1
Add a new function gdb.history_count to the Python api, this function returns an integer, the number of items in GDB's value history. This is useful if you want to pull items from the history by their absolute number, for example, if you wanted to show a complete history list. Previously we could figure out how many items are in the history list by trying to fetch the items, and then catching the exception when the item is not available, but having this function seems nicer.
2022-01-26Change how Python architecture and language are handledTom Tromey1-4/+23
Currently, gdb's Python layer captures the current architecture and language when "entering" Python code. This has some undesirable effects, and so this series changes how this is handled. First, there is code like this: gdbpy_enter enter_py (python_gdbarch, python_language); This is incorrect, because both of these are NULL when not otherwise assigned. This can cause crashes in some cases -- I've added one to the test suite. (Note that this crasher is just an example, other ones along the same lines are possible.) Second, when the language is captured in this way, it means that Python code cannot affect the current language for its own purposes. It's reasonable to want to write code like this: gdb.execute('set language mumble') ... stuff using the current language gdb.execute('set language previous-value') However, this won't actually work, because the language is captured on entry. I've added a test to show this as well. This patch changes gdb to try to avoid capturing the current values. The Python concept of the current gdbarch is only set in those few cases where a non-default value is computed or needed; and the language is not captured at all -- instead, in the cases where it's required, the current language is temporarily changed.

2021-11-30gdb/python: introduce gdb.TargetConnection object typeAndrew Burgess1-0/+6
This commit adds a new object type gdb.TargetConnection. This new type represents a connection within GDB (a connection as displayed by 'info connections'). There's three ways to find a gdb.TargetConnection, there's a new 'gdb.connections()' function, which returns a list of all currently active connections. Or you can read the new 'connection' property on the gdb.Inferior object type, this contains the connection for that inferior (or None if the inferior has no connection, for example, it is exited). Finally, there's a new gdb.events.connection_removed event registry, this emits a new gdb.ConnectionEvent whenever a connection is removed from GDB (this can happen when all inferiors using a connection exit, though this is not always the case, depending on the connection type). The gdb.ConnectionEvent has a 'connection' property, which is the gdb.TargetConnection being removed from GDB. The gdb.TargetConnection has an 'is_valid()' method. A connection object becomes invalid when the underlying connection is removed from GDB (as discussed above, this might be when all inferiors using a connection exit, or it might be when the user explicitly replaces a connection in GDB by issuing another 'target' command). The gdb.TargetConnection has the following read-only properties: 'num': The number for this connection, 'type': e.g. 'native', 'remote', 'sim', etc 'description': The longer description as seen in the 'info connections' command output. 'details': A string or None. Extra details for the connection, for example, a remote connection's details might be 'hostname:port'.
2021-11-08gdb: remove bpstat typedef, rename bpstats to bpstatSimon Marchi1-1/+1
I don't find that the bpstat typedef, which hides a pointer, is particularly useful. In fact, it confused me many times, and I just see it as something to remember that adds cognitive load. Also, with C++, we might want to be able to pass bpstats objects by const-reference, not necessarily by pointer. So, remove the bpstat typedef and rename struct bpstats to bpstat (since it represents one bpstat, it makes sense that it is singular). Change-Id: I52e763b6e54ee666a9e045785f686d37b4f5f849
2021-10-22gdb/python: move gdb.Membuf support into a new fileAndrew Burgess1-0/+5
In a future commit I'm going to be creating gdb.Membuf objects from a new file within gdb/python/py*.c. Currently all gdb.Membuf objects are created directly within infpy_read_memory (as a result of calling gdb.Inferior.read_memory()). Initially I split out the Membuf creation code into a new function, and left the new function in gdb/python/py-inferior.c, however, it felt a little random that the Membuf creation code should live with the inferior handling code. So, then I moved all of the Membuf related code out into a new file, gdb/python/py-membuf.c, the interface is gdbpy_buffer_to_membuf, which wraps an array of bytes into a gdb.Membuf object. Most of the code is moved directly from py-inferior.c with only minor tweaks to layout and replacing NULL with nullptr, hence, I've left the copyright date on py-membuf.c as 2009-2021 to match py-inferior.c. Currently, the only user of this code is still py-inferior.c, but in later commits this will change. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
2021-10-22gdb/python: new gdb.architecture_names functionAndrew Burgess1-0/+1
Add a new function to the Python API, gdb.architecture_names(). This function returns a list containing all of the supported architecture names within the current build of GDB. The values returned in this list are all of the possible values that can be returned from gdb.Architecture.name().
2021-10-03gdb: Introduce setting construct within cmd_list_elementLancelot SIX1-1/+1
cmd_list_element can contain a pointer to data that can be set and / or shown. This is achieved with the void* VAR member which points to the data that can be accessed, while the VAR_TYPE member (of type enum var_types) indicates how to interpret the data pointed to. With this pattern, the user of the cmd_list_element needs to know what is the storage type associated with a given VAR_TYPES in order to do the proper casting. No automatic safeguard is available to prevent miss-use of the pointer. Client code typically looks something like: switch (c->var_type) { case var_zuinteger: unsigned int v = *(unsigned int*) c->var; ... break; case var_boolean: bool v = *(bool *) c->var; ... break; ... } This patch proposes to add an abstraction around the var_types and void* pointer pair. The abstraction is meant to prevent the user from having to handle the cast and verify that the data is read or written as a type that is coherent with the setting's var_type. This is achieved by introducing the struct setting which exposes a set of templated get / set member functions. The template parameter is the type of the variable that holds the referred variable. Using those accessors allows runtime checks to be inserted in order to ensure that the data pointed to has the expected type. For example, instantiating the member functions with bool will yield something similar to: const bool &get<bool> () const { gdb_assert (m_var_type == var_boolean); gdb_assert (m_var != nullptr); return *static_cast<bool *> (m_var); } void set<bool> (const bool &var) { gdb_assert (m_var_type == var_boolean); gdb_assert (m_var != nullptr); *static_cast<bool *> (m_var) = var; } Using the new abstraction, our initial example becomes: switch (c->var_type) { case var_zuinteger: unsigned int v = c->var->get<unsigned int> (); ... break; case var_boolean: bool v = c->var->get<bool> (); ... break; ... } While the call site is still similar, the introduction of runtime checks help ensure correct usage of the data. In order to avoid turning the bulk of add_setshow_cmd_full into a templated function, and following a suggestion from Pedro Alves, a setting can be constructed from a pre validated type erased reference to a variable. This is what setting::erased_args is used for. Introducing an opaque abstraction to describe a setting will also make it possible to use callbacks to retrieve or set the value of the setting on the fly instead of pointing to a static chunk of memory. This will be done added in a later commit. Given that a cmd_list_element may or may not reference a setting, the VAR and VAR_TYPES members of the struct are replaced with a gdb::optional<setting> named VAR. Few internal function signatures have been modified to take into account this new abstraction: -The functions value_from_setting, str_value_from_setting and get_setshow_command_value_string used to have a 'cmd_list_element *' parameter but only used it for the VAR and VAR_TYPE member. They now take a 'const setting &' parameter instead. - Similarly, the 'void *' and a 'enum var_types' parameters of pascm_param_value and gdbpy_parameter_value have been replaced with a 'const setting &' parameter. No user visible change is expected after this patch. Tested on GNU/Linux x86_64, with no regression noticed.

2021-09-09gdb/python: remove all uses of Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITERAndrew Burgess1-1/+0
Python 2 has a bit flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER which can be passed as part of the tp_flags field when defining a new object type. This flag is not defined in Python 3 and so we define it to 0 in python-internal.h (when IS_PY3K is defined). The meaning of this flag is that the object has the fields tp_iter and tp_iternext. Note the use of "has" here, the flag says nothing about the values in those fields, just that the type object has the fields. In early versions of Python 2 these fields were no part of the PyTypeObject struct, they were added in version 2.2 (see https://docs.python.org/release/2.3/api/type-structs.html). And so, there could be a some code compiled out there which has a PyTypeObject structure within it that doesn't even have the tp_iter and tp_iternext fields, attempting to access these fields would be undefined behaviour. And so Python added the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER flag. If the flag is present then Python is free to access the tp_iter and tp_iternext fields. If we consider GDB then we always assume that the tp_iter and tp_iternext fields are part of PyTypeObject. If someone was crazy enough to try and compile GDB against Python 2.1 then we'd get lots of build errors saying that we were passing too many fields when initializing PyTypeObject structures. And so, I claim, we can be sure that GDB will always be compiled with a version of Python that has the tp_iter and tp_iternext fields in PyTypeObject. Next we can look at the Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT flag. In Python 2, each time additional fields are added to PyTypeObject a new Py_TPFLAGS_* flag would be defined to indicate whether those flags are present or not. And, those new flags would be added to Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT. And so, in the latest version of Python 2 the Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT flag includes Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER (see https://docs.python.org/2.7/c-api/typeobj.html). In GDB we pass Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT as part of the tp_flags for all objects we define. And so, in this commit, I propose to remove all uses of Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER from GDB, it's simply not needed. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
2021-09-07gdb/python: new function to add values into GDB's historyAndrew Burgess1-0/+1
The guile API has (history-append! <value>) to add values into GDB's history list. There is currently no equivalent in the Python API. This commit adds gdb.add_history(<value>) to the Python API, this function takes <value> a gdb.Value (or anything that can be passed to the constructor of gdb.Value), and adds the value it represents to GDB's history list. The index of the newly added value is returned.
2021-05-12gdb: make gdbpy_parse_command_name return a unique_xmalloc_ptrSimon Marchi1-3/+3
This avoids some manual memory management. cmdpy_init correctly transfers ownership of the name to the cmd_list_element, as it sets the name_allocated flag. However, cmdpy_init (and add_setshow_generic) doesn't, it looks like the name is just leaked. This is a bit tricky, because it actually creates two commands (one set and one show), it would take a bit of refactoring of the command code to give each their own allocated copy. For now, just keep doing what the current code does but in a more explicit fashion, with an explicit release. gdb/ChangeLog: * python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Return gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr. * python/py-cmd.c (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Likewise.

2020-11-02gdb, gdbserver, gdbsupport: fix leading space vs tabs issuesSimon Marchi1-10/+10
Many spots incorrectly use only spaces for indentation (for example, there are a lot of spots in ada-lang.c). I've always found it awkward when I needed to edit one of these spots: do I keep the original wrong indentation, or do I fix it? What if the lines around it are also wrong, do I fix them too? I probably don't want to fix them in the same patch, to avoid adding noise to my patch. So I propose to fix as much as possible once and for all (hopefully). One typical counter argument for this is that it makes code archeology more difficult, because git-blame will show this commit as the last change for these lines. My counter counter argument is: when git-blaming, you often need to do "blame the file at the parent commit" anyway, to go past some other refactor that touched the line you are interested in, but is not the change you are looking for. So you already need a somewhat efficient way to do this. Using some interactive tool, rather than plain git-blame, makes this trivial. For example, I use "tig blame <file>", where going back past the commit that changed the currently selected line is one keystroke. It looks like Magit in Emacs does it too (though I've never used it). Web viewers of Github and Gitlab do it too. My point is that it won't really make archeology more difficult. The other typical counter argument is that it will cause conflicts with existing patches. That's true... but it's a one time cost, and those are not conflicts that are difficult to resolve. I have also tried "git rebase --ignore-whitespace", it seems to work well. Although that will re-introduce the faulty indentation, so one needs to take care of fixing the indentation in the patch after that (which is easy). gdb/ChangeLog: * aarch64-linux-tdep.c: Fix

2020-07-28gdb/python: make more use of RegisterDescriptorsAndrew Burgess1-0/+19
This commit unifies all of the Python register lookup code (used by Frame.read_register, PendingFrame.read_register, and gdb.UnwindInfo.add_saved_register), and adds support for using a gdb.RegisterDescriptor for register lookup. Currently the register unwind code (PendingFrame and UnwindInfo) allow registers to be looked up either by name, or by GDB's internal number. I suspect the number was added for performance reasons, when unwinding we don't want to repeatedly map from name to number for every unwind. However, this kind-of sucks, it means Python scripts could include GDB's internal register numbers, and if we ever change this numbering in the future users scripts will break in unexpected ways. Meanwhile, the Frame.read_register method only supports accessing registers using a string, the register name. This commit unifies all of the register to register-number lookup code in our Python bindings, and adds a third choice into the mix, the use of gdb.RegisterDescriptor. The register descriptors can be looked up by name, but once looked up, they contain GDB's register number, and so provide all of the performance benefits of using a register number directly. However, as they are looked up by name we are no longer tightly binding the Python API to GDB's internal numbering scheme. As we may already have scripts in the wild that are using the register numbers directly I have kept support for this in the API, but I have listed this method last in the manual, and I have tried to stress that this is NOT a good method to use and that users should use either a string or register descriptor approach. After this commit all existing Python code should function as before, but users now have new options for how to identify registers. gdb/ChangeLog: * python/py-frame.c: Remove 'user-regs.h' include. (frapy_read_register): Rewrite to make use of gdbpy_parse_register_id. * python/py-registers.c (gdbpy_parse_register_id): New function, moved here from python/py-unwind.c.

(Frames In Python): Update description of Frame.read_register.
2020-07-06gdb/python: New method to access list of register groupsAndrew Burgess1-0/+1
Add a new method gdb.Architecture.register_groups which returns a new object of type gdb.RegisterGroupsIterator. This new iterator then returns objects of type gdb.RegisterGroup. Each gdb.RegisterGroup object just wraps a single reggroup pointer, and (currently) has just one read-only property 'name' that is a string, the name of the register group. As with the previous commit (adding gdb.RegisterDescriptor) I made gdb.RegisterGroup an object rather than just a string in case we want to add additional properties in the future. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention additions to Python API. * python/py-arch.c (archpy_register_groups): New function. (arch_object_methods): Add 'register_groups' method. * python/py-registers.c (reggroup_iterator_object): New struct. (reggroup_object): New struct. (gdbpy_new_reggroup): New function.

2020-07-06gdb/python: Add gdb.Architecture.registers methodAndrew Burgess1-0/+5
This commit adds a new method gdb.Architecture.registers that returns an object of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator. This iterator returns objects of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptor. A RegisterDescriptor is not a way to read the value of a register, this is already covered by Frame.read_register, a RegisterDescriptor is simply a way to discover from Python, which registers are available for a given architecture. I did consider just returning a string, the name of each register, instead of a RegisterDescriptor, however, I'm aware that it we don't want to break the existing Python API in any way, so if I return just a string now, but in the future we want more information about a register then we would have to add a second API to get that information. By going straight to a descriptor object now, it is easy to add additional properties in the future should we wish to. Right now the only property of a register that a user can access is the name of the register.

2020-03-13Change extension language pretty-printers to use value APITom Tromey1-3/+2
This changes the extension language pretty-printers to use the value API. Note that new functions were needed, for both Guile and Python. Currently both languages always wrap values by removing the values from the value chain. This makes sense to avoid strange behavior with watchpoints, and to avoid excessive memory use. However, when printing, it's important to leave the passed-in value untouched, in case pretty-printing does nothing -- that way the caller can still access it. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-03-13 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * valprint.c (do_val_print): Update. * python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_apply_val_pretty_printer): Take a struct value.

2019-11-10gdb/python: Introduce gdb.lookup_static_symbolsAndrew Burgess1-0/+2
If gdb.lookup_static_symbol is going to return a single symbol then it makes sense (I think) for it to return a context sensitive choice of symbol, that is the global static symbol that would be visible to the program at that point. However, if the user of the python API wants to instead get a consistent set of global static symbols, no matter where they stop, then they have to instead consider all global static symbols with a given name - there could be many. That is what this new API function offers, it returns a list (possibly empty) of all global static symbols matching a given name (and optionally a given symbol domain). gdb/ChangeLog: * python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols): New function. * python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols): Declare new function. * python/python.c (python_GdbMethods): Add gdb.lookup_static_symbols method. * NEWS: Mention gdb.lookup_static_symbols. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Add test for gdb.lookup_static_symbols. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * python.texi (Symbols In Python): Add documentation for gdb.lookup_static_symbols.

2019-02-07Normalize include guards in gdbTom Tromey1-3/+3
While working on my other scripts to deal with gdb headers, I noticed that some files were missing include guards. I wrote a script to add the missing ones, but found that using the obvious names for the guards ran into clashes -- for example, gdb/nat/linux-nat.h used "LINUX_NAT_H", but this was also the script's choice for gdb/linux-nat.h. So, I changed the script to normalize all include guards in gdb. This patch is the result. As usual the script is available here: https://github.com/tromey/gdb-refactoring-scripts Tested by rebuilding; I also ran it through "Fedora-x86_64-m64" on the buildbot. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-02-07 Tom

2019-01-30Release the GIL while running a gdb command or expressionTom Tromey1-0/+25
PR python/23615 points out that gdb.execute_gdb_command does not release the Python GIL. This means that, while the gdb command is running, other Python threads do not run. This patch solves the problem by introducing a new RAII class that can be used to temporarily release and then re-acquire the GIL, then puts this into the appropriate places in execute_gdb_command and gdbpy_parse_and_eval. This does not include a test case, because after some research I could not find a way to write one that was not racy. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-01-30 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR python/23615: * python/python.c (execute_gdb_command): Use gdbpy_allow_threads.

2018-09-23Consolidate gdb.GdbError handlingTom Tromey1-0/+1
I noticed two nearly identical copies of the same code for handling gdb.GdbError. The only differences were in some error messages. These differences didn't seem very important, so this patch pulls the code out into a new function. 2018-09-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/py-function.c (fnpy_call): Use gdbpy_handle_exception. * python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_function): Use gdbpy_handle_exception. * python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_handle_exception): Declare. * python/py-utils.c (gdbpy_handle_exception): New function.
2018-09-16Don't steal references in the gdb Python codeTom Tromey1-7/+0
Some Python APIs steal references from their caller, and the refcount checker supports this via an attribute. However, in gdb with C++ we have a better idiom available: we can use std::move on a gdbpy_ref<> instead. This makes the semantics obvious at the point of call, and is safer at runtime as well, because the callee's gdbpy_ref<> will be emptied. This patch changes the reference-stealing code in gdb to use rvalue references instead. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-09-16 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/python-internal.h (CPYCHECKER_STEALS_REFERENCE_TO_ARG): Remove. * python/py-varobj.c (py_varobj_iter_ctor): Change pyiter to rvalue reference. Remove CPYCHECKER_STEALS_REFERENCE_TO_ARG. (py_varobj_iter_new): Likewise. (py_varobj_get_iterator): Use gdbpy_ref.
2018-09-16Remove CPYCHECKER_RETURNS_BORROWED_REFTom Tromey1-8/+3
CPYCHECKER_RETURNS_BORROWED_REF is not used, and I think should never be used. This patch removes it. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-09-16 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/python-internal.h (CPYCHECKER_RETURNS_BORROWED_REF): Remove.

2018-09-16Add more methods to gdb.ProgspaceTom Tromey1-5/+0
There are a number of global functions in the gdb Python module which really should be methods on Progspace. This patch adds new methods to Progspace and then redefines these globals in terms of these new methods. This version has been rebased on the related changes that Simon recently put in.
