2024-09-24[gdb/python] Add gdbpy_handle_gdb_exceptionTom de Vries1-9/+19
I've recently committed two patches: - commit 2f8cd40c37a ("[gdb/python] Use GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION more often") - commit fbf8e4c35c2 ("[gdb/python] Use GDB_PY_SET_HANDLE_EXCEPTION more often") which use the macros GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION and GDB_PY_SET_HANDLE_EXCEPTION more often, with the goal of making things more consistent. Having done that, I wondered if a better approach could be possible. Consider GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION: ... /* Use this in a 'catch' block to convert the exception to a Python exception and return nullptr. */ #define GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION(Exception) \ do { \ gdbpy_convert_exception (Exception); \ return nullptr; \ } while (0) ... The macro nicely codifies how python handles exceptions: - setting an error condition using some PyErr_Set* variant, and - returning a value implying that something went wrong presumably with the goal that using the macro will mean not accidentally: - forgetting to return on error, or - returning the wrong value on error. The problems are that: - the macro hides control flow, specifically the return statement, and - the macro hides the return value. For example, when reading somewhere: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except); } ... in order to understand what this does, you have to know that the macro returns, and that it returns nullptr. Add a template gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception: ... template<typename T> [[nodiscard]] T gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (T val, const gdb_exception &e) { gdbpy_convert_exception (e); return val; } ... which can be used instead: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { return gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (nullptr, except); } ... [ Initially I tried this: ... template<auto val> [[nodiscard]] auto gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (const gdb_exception &e) { gdbpy_convert_exception (e); return val; } ... with which the usage is slightly better looking: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { return gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception<nullptr> (except); } ... but I ran into trouble with older gcc compilers. ] While still a single statement, we now have it clear: - that the statement returns, - what value the statement returns. [ FWIW, this could also be handled by say: ... - GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except); + GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION_AND_RETURN_VAL (except, nullptr); ... but I still didn't find the fact that it returns easy to spot. Alternatively, this is the simplest form we could use: ... return gdbpy_convert_exception (e), nullptr; ... but the pairing would not necessarily survive a copy/paste/edit cycle. ] Also note how making the value explicit makes it easier to check for consistency: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { return gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (-1, except); } if (PyErr_Occurred ()) return -1; ... given that we do use the explicit constants almost everywhere else. Compared to using GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION, there is the burden now to specify the return value, but I assume that this will be generally copy-pasted and therefore present no problem. Also, there's no longer a guarantee that there's an immediate return, but I assume that nodiscard making sure that the return value is not silently ignored is sufficient mitigation. For now, re-implement GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION and GDB_PY_SET_HANDLE_EXCEPTION in terms of gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception. Follow-up patches will eliminate the macros. No functional changes.

2024-09-23Automatically add types to Python modulesTom Tromey34-230/+93
PR python/32163 points out that various types provided by gdb are not added to the gdb module, so they aren't available for interactive inspection. I think this is just an oversight. This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new helper function that both readies the type and then adds it to the appropriate module. The patch also poisons PyType_Ready, the idea being to avoid this bug in the future. v2: * Fixed a bug in original patch in gdb.Architecture registration * Added regression test for the types mentioned in the bug Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32163 Reviewed-By: Alexandra Petlanova Hajkova <ahajkova@redhat.com>

2024-09-10gdb/python: avoid depending on the curses libraryAndrew Burgess1-3/+27
The commit: commit 29c70787112e01cd52b53bf14bdcacb0a11e0725 Date: Sun Sep 8 07:46:09 2024 +0200 [gdb/testsuite] Handle missing curses in gdb.python/py-missing-debug.exp Highlighted that in some cases we might be running on a system with an older version of Python (earlier than 3.7), and on a system for which the curses library has not been installed. In these circumstances the gdb.missing_debug module will not load as it uses curses to provide isalnum() and isascii() functions. To avoid this problem I propose that we copy the isalnum() and isascii() from the Python curses library. These functions are basically trivial and removing the curses dependency means GDB will work in more cases without increasing its dependencies. I did consider keeping the uses of curses and only having the function definitions be a fallback for when the curses library failed to load, but this felt like overkill. The function definitions are both tiny and I think "obvious" given their specifications, so I figure we might as well just use our own definitions if they are not available as builtin methods on the str class. For testing I changed this line: if sys.version_info >= (3, 7): to if sys.version_info >= (3, 7) and False: then reran gdb.python/py-missing-debug.exp, there were no failures.

2024-09-07Remove tui_wrefreshTom Tromey1-2/+2
This removes tui_wrefresh, moving the code into refresh_window. We remove tui_norefresh_window as well, because now the command window's refresh_window has to do what tui_wrefresh previously did.
2024-09-07Rename tui_suppress_outputTom Tromey1-0/+10
This patch renames tui_suppress_output to the more descriptive tui_batch_rendering. This code was never really correct, and was based on a misunderstanding of the curses API. The updated comments describe the intended use of this class. This also removes the erroneous tui_win_info::no_refresh. wnoutrefresh does not prevent any output; rather, it copies from one curses buffer to another but (unlike woutrefresh) without then flushing to the screen. tui_batch_rendering now works in the correct way: calling doupdate in the destructor of the outermost instance, thus batching all screen output until that point. The patch adds instantiations of tui_batch_rendering to various spots, to make sure it is active when refreshing.
2024-09-07gdb: split apart two different types of filename completionAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
Unfortunately we have two different types of filename completion in GDB. The majority of commands have what I call unquoted filename completion, this is for commands like 'set logging file ...', 'target core ...', and 'add-auto-load-safe-path ...'. For these commands everything after the command name (that is not a command option) is treated as a single filename. If the filename contains white space then this does not need to be escaped, nor does the filename need to be quoted. In fact, the filename argument is not de-quoted, and does not have any escaping removed, so if a user does try to add such things, they will be treated as part of the filename. As an example: (gdb) target core "/path/that contains/some white space" Will look for a directory calls '"' (double quotes) in the local directory. A small number of commands do de-quote and remove escapes from filename arguments. These command accept what I call quoted and escaped filenames. Right now these are the commands that specify the file for GDB to debug, so: file exec-file symbol-file add-symbol-file remove-symbol-file As an example of this in action: (gdb) file "/path/that contains/some white space" In this case GDB would load the file: /path/that contains/some white space Current filename completion always assumes that filenames can be quoted, though escaping doesn't work in completion right now. But the assumption that quoting is allowed is clearly wrong. This commit splits filename completion into two. The existing filename_completer is retained, and is used for unquoted filenames. A second filename_maybe_quoted_completer is added which can be used for completing quoted filenames. The filename completion test has been extended to cover more cases. As part of the extended testing I need to know the character that should be used to separate filenames within a path. For this TCL 8.6+ has $::tcl_platform(pathSeparator). To support older versions of TCL I've added some code to testsuite/lib/gdb.exp. You might notice that after this commit the completion for unquoted files is all done in the brkchars phase, that is the function filename_completer_handle_brkchars calculates the completions and marks the completion_tracker as using a custom word point. The reason for this is that we don't want to break on white space for this completion, but if we rely on readline to find the completion word, readline will consider the entire command line, and with no white space in the word break character set, readline will end up using the entire command line as the word to complete. For now at least, the completer for quoted filenames does generate its completions during the completion phase, though this is going to change in a later commit.

Starting with python 3.6, support for platforms without long long support has been removed [1]. HAVE_LONG_LONG and PY_LONG_LONG are still defined, but only for compatibility, so stop relying on them. Tested on x86_64-linux. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> [1] https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/72148
2024-06-07gdb: make progspace::exec_filename private, add getter / setterSimon Marchi1-1/+1
Just like the title says... I think this makes things a bit clearer, for instance where the exec filename is set. It also makes the read call sites a bit nicer, avoiding the `.get ()`. Change-Id: If8b58ae8f6270c8a34b868f6ca06128c6671ea3c Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2024-06-06DAP: Handle "stepOut" request in outermost frameJohan Sternerup1-2/+2
Previously a "stepOut" request when in the outermost frame would result in a sucessful response even though gdb internally would reject the associated "finish" request, which means no stoppedEvent would ever be sent back to the client. Thus the client would believe the inferior was still running and as a consequence reject subsequent "next" and "stepIn" requests from the user. The solution is to execute the underlying finish command as a background command, i.e. `finish &`. If we're in the outermost frame an exception will be raised immediately, which we can now capture and report back to the client as success=False so then the absence of a `stopped` event is no longer a problem. We also make use of the `defer_stop_event` option to prevent a stop event from reaching the client until the response has been sent. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2024-06-06DAP: Allow gdb exception in exec_and_log to propagateJohan Sternerup2-5/+8
This allows a request to specify that any gdb exception raised in exec_and_log within the gdb thread to be propagated back to the DAP thread (using the Canceller object as the orchestrator). Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2024-06-06DAP: Allow for deferring stop events from gdb threadJohan Sternerup2-7/+51
The existing `send_event_later()` method allows commands processed on the DAP thread to queue an event for execution until after the response has been sent to the client. We now introduce a corresponding method for use by the gdb thread. This method `send_event_maybe_later()` will queue the event just like `send_event_later()`, but only if it has been configured to do so by a new @request option `defer_stop_events`. As the name implies the functionality is currently only used for handling stop events. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2024-06-04Return global scope from DAP scopes requestTom Tromey2-0/+101
A co-worker requested that the DAP code emit a scope for global variables. It's not really practical to do this for all globals, but it seemed reasonable to do this for globals coming from the frame's compilation unit. For Ada in particular, this is convenient as it exposes package-scoped variables. Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
2024-06-04Convert DAP disassemble code to use Block hashingTom Tromey1-4/+3
This changes the DAP disassemble code to use the new Block hashing, storing the already-visited blocks in a set rather than a list.
2024-06-04Memoize gdb.Block and make them hashableTom Tromey1-64/+79
In subsequent patches, it's handy if gdb.Block is hashable, so it can be stored in a set or a dictionary. However, doing this in a straightforward way is not really possible, because a block isn't truly immutable -- it can be invalidated. And, while this isn't a real problem for my use case (in DAP the maps are only used during a single stop), it seemed error-prone. This patch instead takes the approach of using the gdb.Block's own object identity to allow hashing. This seems fine because the contents don't affect the hashing. In order for this to work, though, the blocks have to be memoized -- two requests for the same block must return the same object. This also allows (actually, requires) the simplification of the rich-compare method for blocks. Reviewed-By: Alexandra Petlanova Hajkova <ahajkova@redhat.com>
2024-06-04Put "source" into DAP scopeTom Tromey1-1/+4
I noticed a FIXME comment in the DAP code about adding a "source" field to a scope. This is easy to implement; I don't know why I didn't do this originally.
2024-06-03Enable call of overloaded subscript operator from pythonHannes Domani1-1/+5
If you try to use the overloaded subscript operator of a class in python, it fails like this: (gdb) py print(gdb.parse_and_eval('b')[5]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> gdb.error: Cannot subscript requested type. Error while executing Python code. This simply checks if such an operator exists, and calls it instead, making this possible: (gdb) py print(gdb.parse_and_eval('b')[5]) 102 'f' Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2024-06-03Allow calling of convenience functions with pythonHannes Domani1-5/+13

Error while executing Python code. So this extends valpy_call to handle TYPE_CODE_INTERNAL_FUNCTION as well, making this possible: (gdb) py print(gdb.convenience_variable("_isvoid")(3)) 0 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13326 Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
