2023-11-14gdb: implement missing debug handler hook for PythonAndrew Burgess5-1/+569
This commit builds on the previous commit, and implements the extension_language_ops::handle_missing_debuginfo function for Python. This hook will give user supplied Python code a chance to help find missing debug information. The implementation of the new hook is pretty minimal within GDB's C++ code; most of the work is out-sourced to a Python implementation which is modelled heavily on how GDB's Python frame unwinders are implemented. The following new commands are added as commands implemented in Python, this is similar to how the Python unwinder commands are implemented: info missing-debug-handlers enable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER disable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER To make use of this extension hook a user will create missing debug information handler objects, and registers these handlers with GDB. When GDB encounters an objfile that is missing debug information, each handler is called in turn until one is able to help. Here is a minimal handler that does nothing useful: import gdb import gdb.missing_debug class MyFirstHandler(gdb.missing_debug.MissingDebugHandler): def __init__(self): super().__init__("my_first_handler") def __call__(self, objfile): # This handler does nothing useful. return None gdb.missing_debug.register_handler(None, MyFirstHandler()) Returning None from the __call__ method tells GDB that this handler was unable to find the missing debug information, and GDB should ask any other registered handlers. By extending the __call__ method it is possible for the Python extension to locate the debug information for objfile and return a value that tells GDB how to use the information that has been located. Possible return values from a handler: - None: This means the handler couldn't help. GDB will call other registered handlers to see if they can help instead. - False: The handler has done all it can, but the debug information for the objfile still couldn't be found. GDB will not call any other handlers, and will continue without the debug information for objfile. - True: The handler has installed the debug information into a location where GDB would normally expect to find it. GDB should look again for the debug information. - A string: The handler can return a filename, which is the file containing the missing debug information. GDB will load this file. When a handler returns True, GDB will look again for the debug information, but only using the standard built-in build-id and .gnu_debuglink based lookup strategies. It is not possible for an extension to trigger another debuginfod lookup; the assumption is that the debuginfod server is remote, and out of the control of extensions running within GDB. Handlers can be registered globally, or per program space. GDB checks the handlers for the current program space first, and then all of the global handles. The first handler that returns a value that is not None, has "handled" the objfile, at which point GDB continues. Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

2023-10-31Implement DAP setVariable requestTom Tromey3-21/+100
This patch implements the DAP setVariable request. setVariable is a bit odd in that it specifies the variable to modify by passing in the variable's container and the name of the variable. This approach can't handle variable shadowing (there are a couple of open DAP bugs on this topic), so this patch renames duplicates to avoid the problem.
2023-10-26gdb/python: Add new gdb.Value.bytes attributeAndrew Burgess1-19/+103
Add a gdb.Value.bytes attribute. This attribute contains the bytes of the value (assuming the complete bytes of the value are available). If the bytes of the gdb.Value are not available then accessing this attribute raises an exception. The bytes object returned from gdb.Value.bytes is cached within GDB so that the same bytes object is returned each time. The bytes object is created on-demand though to reduce unnecessary work. For some values we can of course obtain the same information by reading inferior memory based on gdb.Value.address and gdb.Value.type.sizeof, however, not every value is in memory, so we don't always have an address. The gdb.Value.bytes attribute will convert any value to a bytes object, so long as the contents are available. The value can be one created purely in Python code, the value could be in a register, or (of course) the value could be in memory. The Value.bytes attribute can also be assigned too. Assigning to this attribute is similar to calling Value.assign, the value of the underlying value is updated within the inferior. The value assigned to Value.bytes must be a buffer which contains exactly the correct number of bytes (i.e. unlike value creation, we don't allow oversized buffers). To support this assignment like behaviour I've factored out the core of valpy_assign. I've also updated convert_buffer_and_type_to_value so that it can (for my use case) check the exact buffer length. The restrictions for when the Value.bytes can or cannot be written too are exactly the same as for Value.assign.

Andry noticed that given a DAP setExpression request, where the expression to set is a register, DAP will return the wrong value -- it will return the old value, not the updated one. This happens because gdb.Value.assign (which was recently added for DAP) does not update the value. In this patch, I chose to have the assign method update the Value in-place. It's also possible to have it return a new value, but this didn't seem very useful to me.

2023-10-16gdb: replace architecture_changed with new_architecture observerAndrew Burgess1-3/+2
This commit replaces the architecture_changed observer with a new_architecture observer. Currently the only user of the architecture_changed observer is the Python code, which uses this observer to register the Python unwinder with the architecture. The problem is that the architecture_changed observer is triggered from inferior::set_arch(), which only sees the inferior-wide gdbarch value. For targets that use thread-specific architectures, these never trigger the architecture_changed observer, and so never have the Python unwinder registered with them. When it comes to unwinding GDB makes use of the frame's gdbarch, which is based on the thread's regcache gdbarch, which is set in get_thread_regcache to the value returned from target_thread_architecture, which is not always the inferiors gdbarch value, it might be a thread-specific gdbarch which has not passed through inferior::set_arch(). The new_architecture observer will be triggered from gdbarch_find_by_info, whenever a new gdbarch is created and initialised. As GDB caches and reuses gdbarch values, we should expect to see each new architecture trigger the new_architecture observer just once. After this commit, targets that make use of thread-specific architectures should be able to make use of Python unwinders. As I don't have access to a machine that makes use of thread-specific architectures right now, I asked Luis to confirm that an AArch64 target that uses SVE/SME can't use the Python unwinders in threads that are using a thread-specific architectures, and he confirmed that this is indeed the case, see this discussion: https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb/87wmvsat8i.fsf@redhat.com Tested-By: Lancelot Six <lancelot.six@amd.com> Tested-By: Luis Machado <luis.machado@arm.com> Reviewed-By: Luis Machado <luis.machado@arm.com> Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2023-10-10gdb: remove target_gdbarchSimon Marchi6-14/+16
This function is just a wrapper around the current inferior's gdbarch. I find that having that wrapper just obscures where the arch is coming from, and that it's often used as "I don't know which arch to use so I'll use this magical target_gdbarch function that gets me an arch" when the arch should in fact come from something in the context (a thread, objfile, symbol, etc). I think that removing it and inlining `current_inferior ()->arch ()` everywhere will make it a bit clearer where that arch comes from and will trigger people into reflecting whether this is the right place to get the arch or not.

2023-10-05gdb: add all_objfiles_removed observerSimon Marchi1-13/+17
The new_objfile observer is currently used to indicate both when a new objfile is added to program space (when passed non-nullptr) and when all objfiles of a program space were just removed (when passed nullptr). I think this is confusing (and Andrew apparently thinks so too [1]). Add a new "all_objfiles_removed" observer to remove the second role from "new_objfile". Some existing users of new_objfile do nothing if the passed objfile is nullptr. For them, we can simply drop the nullptr check. For others, add a new all_objfiles_removed callback, and refactor things a bit to keep the existing behavior as much as possible. Some callbacks relied on current_program_space, and following the refactoring now use either objfile->pspace or the pspace passed to all_objfiles_removed. I think this should be relatively safe, and in general a step in the right direction. On the notify side, I found only one call site to change from new_objfile to all_objfiles_removed, in clear_symtab_users. It is not entirely clear to me that this is entirely correct. clear_symtab_users appears to be called in spots that don't remove all objfiles (functions finish_new_objfile, remove_symbol_file_command, reread_symbols, do_module_cleanups). But I think that this patch at least makes the current code clearer.

2023-10-02gdb: add Python events for program space addition and removalAndrew Burgess3-0/+75
Initially I just wanted a Python event for when GDB removes a program space, I'm writing a Python extension that caches information for each program space, and need to know when I should discard entries for a particular program space. But, it seemed easy enough to also add an event for when GDB adds a new program space, so I went ahead and added both new events. Of course, we don't currently have an observable for program space addition or removal, so I first needed to add these. After that it's pretty simple to add two new Python events and have these trigger. The two new event registries are: events.new_progspace events.free_progspace These emit NewProgspaceEvent and FreeProgspaceEvent objects respectively, each of these new event types has a 'progspace' attribute that contains the relevant gdb.Progspace object. There's a couple of things to be mindful of. First, it is not possible to catch the NewProgspaceEvent for the very first program space, the one that is created when GDB first starts, as this program space is created before any Python scripts are sourced. In order to allow this event to be caught we would need to defer creating the first program space, and as a consequence the first inferior, until some later time. But, existing scripts could easily depend on there being an initial inferior, so I really don't think we should change that -- and so, we end up with the consequence that we can't catch the event for the first program space. The second, I think minor, issue, is that GDB doesn't clean up its program spaces upon exit -- or at least, they are not cleaned up before Python is shut down. As a result, any program spaces in use at the time GDB exits don't generate a FreeProgspaceEvent. I'm not particularly worried about this for my use case, I'm using the event to ensure that a cache doesn't hold stale entries within a single GDB session. It's also easy enough to add a Python at-exit callback which can do any final cleanup if needed. Finally, when testing, I did hit a slightly weird issue with some of the remote boards (e.g. remote-stdio-gdbserver). As a consequence of this issue I see some output like this in the gdb.log: (gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp: inferior 1 step FreeProgspaceEvent: <gdb.Progspace object at 0x7fb7e1d19c10> warning: cannot close "target:/lib64/libm.so.6": Cannot execute this command while the target is running.

Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target and then try again. warning: cannot close "target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2": Cannot execute this command while the target is running. Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target and then try again. do_parent_stuff () at py-progspace-events.c:41 41 ++global_var; (gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp: step The 'FreeProgspaceEvent ...' line is expected, that's my test Python extension logging the event. What isn't expected are all the blocks like: warning: cannot close "target:/lib64/libm.so.6": Cannot execute this command while the target is running. Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target and then try again. It turns out that this has nothing to do with my changes, this is just a consequence of reading files over the remote protocol. The test forks a child process which GDB stays attached too. When the child exits, GDB cleans up by calling prune_inferiors, which in turn can result in GDB trying to close some files that are open because of the inferior being deleted. If the prune_inferiors call occurs when the remote target is running (and in non-async mode) then GDB will try to send a fileio packet while the remote target is waiting for a stop reply, and the remote target will throw an error, see remote_target::putpkt_binary in remote.c for details. I'm going to look at fixing this, but, as I said, this is nothing to do with this change, I just mention it because I ended up needing to account for these warning messages in one of my tests, and it all looks a bit weird.

2023-09-28gdb/python: make the executable_changed event available from PythonAndrew Burgess3-0/+60
This commit makes the executable_changed observable available through the Python API as an event. There's nothing particularly interesting going on here, it just follows the same pattern as many of the other Python events we support. The new event registry is called events.executable_changed, and this emits an ExecutableChangedEvent object which has two attributes, a gdb.Progspace called 'progspace', this is the program space in which the executable changed, and a Boolean called 'reload', which is True if the same executable changed on disk and has been reloaded, or is False when a new executable has been loaded. One interesting thing did come up during testing though, you'll notice the test contains a setup_kfail call. During testing I observed that the executable_changed event would trigger twice when GDB restarted an inferior. However, the ExecutableChangedEvent object is identical for both calls, so the wrong information is never sent out, we just see one too many events. I tracked this down to how the reload_symbols function (symfile.c) takes care to also reload the executable, however, I've split fixing this into a separate commit, so see the next commit for details.

If the Source's path field is a valid path that the DAP client is able to read from the filesystem, having to make another request to the debugger to get the file contents is wasteful and leads to incorrect results (DAP clients will try to get the contents from the server and display those contents as a file with the name in "source.path", but this will conflict with the _acutal_ existing file at "source.path").

2023-09-20gdb/dap: ignore unused keyword args in step_outGregory Anders2-1/+8
Some DAP clients may send additional parameters in the stepOut command (e.g. "granularity") which are not used by GDB, but should nonetheless be accepted without error. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2023-09-20gdb/dap: check for breakpoint source before unpackingGregory Anders1-8/+12
Not all breakpoints have a source location. For example, a breakpoint set on a raw address will have only the "address" field populated, but "source" will be None, which leads to a RuntimeError when attempting to unpack the filename and line number. Before attempting to unpack the filename and line number from the breakpoint, ensure that the source information is not None. Also populate the source and line information separately from the "instructionReference" field, so that breakpoints that include only an address are still included.

2023-09-19Handle pointers and references correctly in DAPTom Tromey1-0/+16
A user pointed out that the current DAP variable code does not let the client deference a pointer. Oops! Fixing this oversight is simple enough -- adding a new no-op pretty-printer for pointers and references is quite simple. However, doing this naive caused a regession in scopes.exp, which expected there to be no children of a 'const char *' variable. This problem was fixed by the preceding patches in the series, which ensure that a C type of this kind is recognized as a string. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30821
2023-09-19Give a language to a typeTom Tromey1-9/+4
This changes main_type to hold a language, and updates the debug readers to set this field. This is done by adding the language to the type-allocator object. Note that the non-DWARF readers are changed on a "best effort" basis. This patch also reimplements type::is_array_like to use the type's language, and it adds a new type::is_string_like as well. This in turn lets us change the Python implementation of these methods to simply defer to the type.
2023-09-19Use gdb::checked_static_cast for watchpointsTom Tromey1-2/+1

2023-09-12Avoid spurious breakpoint-setting failure in DAPTom Tromey1-1/+7
A user pointed out that if a DAP setBreakpoints request has a 'source' field in a SourceBreakpoint object, then the gdb DAP implementation will throw an exception. While SourceBreakpoint does not allow 'source' in the spec, it seems better to me to accept it. I don't think we should fully go down the "Postel's Law" path -- after all, we have the type-checker -- but at the same time, if we do send errors, they should be intentional and not artifacts of the implementation.

2023-09-06[gdb/symtab] Fix too many symbols in gdbpy_lookup_static_symbolsTom de Vries1-2/+5
When running test-case gdb.python/py-symbol.exp with target board cc-with-dwz-m, we run into: ... (gdb) python print (len (gdb.lookup_static_symbols ('rr')))^M 4^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: \ print (len (gdb.lookup_static_symbols ('rr'))) ... while with target board unix we have instead: ... (gdb) python print (len (gdb.lookup_static_symbols ('rr')))^M 2^M (gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: \ print (len (gdb.lookup_static_symbols ('rr'))) ... The problem is that the loop in gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols loops over compunits representing both CUs and PUs: ... for (compunit_symtab *cust : objfile->compunits ()) ... When doing a lookup on a PU, the user link is followed until we end up at a CU, and the lookup is done in that CU. In other words, when doing a lookup in the loop for a PU we duplicate the lookup for a CU that is already handled by the loop. Fix this by skipping PUs in the loop in gdb.lookup_static_symbols.

2023-09-05Handle array- and string-like values in no-op pretty printersTom Tromey1-3/+23
This changes the no-op pretty printers -- used by DAP -- to handle array- and string-like objects known by the gdb core. Two new tests are added, one for Ada and one for Rust.
2023-09-05Add new Python APIs to support DAP value displayTom Tromey2-0/+94
gdb's language code may know how to display values specially. For example, the Rust code understands that &str is a string-like type, or Ada knows how to handle unconstrained arrays. This knowledge is exposed via val-print, and via varobj -- but currently not via DAP. This patch adds some support code to let DAP also handle these cases, though in a somewhat more generic way. Type.is_array_like and Value.to_array are added to make Python aware of the cases where gdb knows that a structure type is really "array-like". Type.is_string_like is added to make Python aware of cases where gdb's language code knows that a type is string-like. Unlike Value.string, these cases are handled by the type's language, rather than the current language. Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
2023-09-05Select frame when fetching a frame variable in DAPTom Tromey2-3/+12
Right now, if a program uses multiple languages, DAP value formatting will always use the language of the innermost frame. However, it is better to use the variable's defining frame instead. This patch does this by selecting the frame first. This also fixes a possibly latent bug in the "stepOut" command -- "finish" is sensitive to the selected frame, but the DAP code may already select other frames when convenient. The DAP stepOut request only works on the newest frame, so be sure to select it before invoking "finish".
2023-09-05Use ada_value_subscript in valpy_getitemTom Tromey1-0/+3
Ada has a few complexities when it comes to array handling. Currently these are all handled in Ada-specific code -- but unfortunately that means they aren't really accessible to Python. This patch changes the Python code to defer to Ada when given an Ada array. In order to make this work, one spot in ada-lang.c had to be updated to set the "GNAT-specific" flag on an array type. The test case for this will come in a later patch.

2023-08-23gdb: centralize "[Thread ...exited]" notificationsPedro Alves1-1/+3
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: (gdb) c Continuing. ^C[New Thread 3850398.3887449] [New Thread 3850398.3887500] [New Thread 3850398.3887551] [New Thread 3850398.3887602] [New Thread 3850398.3887653] ...

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. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30129 Co-Authored-By: Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>
2023-08-23gdb: remove mi_parse::make functionsAndrew Burgess1-2/+2
Remove the static mi_parse::make functions, and instead use the mi_parse constructor. This is a partial revert of the commit: commit fde3f93adb50c9937cd2e1c93561aea2fd167156 Date: Mon Mar 20 10:56:55 2023 -0600 Introduce "static constructor" for mi_parse which introduced the mi_parse::make functions, though after discussion on the list the reasons for seem to have been lost[1]. Given there are no test regressions when moving back to using the constructors, I propose we should do that for now. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
