This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.

We have a target board cc-with-gdb-index that uses the gdb-add-index script to
add a .gdb_index index to an exec.
There is however an alternative way of adding a .gdb_index: the index-cache.
Add a new target board cc-with-index-cache.
This is not superfluous for two reasons:
- there is functionality that gdb-add-index doesn't support, but the
index-cache does: the index-cache can add an index to an exec with a
.gnu_debugaltlink (note that when using the cc-with-gdb-index board this
case is quietly ignored), and
- using the index-cache is excercised in only a few test-cases, and having
this target board extends the test coverage to the entire test suite. This
is for instance relevant because the index-cache is written by a worker
thread in the background, so we can check more thoroughly for data races
(see PR symtab/30837).
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Simon pointed out that the new file-then-restart.exp test fails with
the extended-remote target board.
The problem is that the test suite doesn't use gdb_file_cmd -- which
handles things like "set remote exec-file". This patch changes
gdb_file_cmd to make the "kill" command optional, and then switches
the test case to use it.

When running test-case gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread-multi.exp with
host+target board local-remote-host-native, I run into a time-out:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread-multi.exp: target-non-stop=off: \
to_disable=: disconnect
builtin_spawn /usr/bin/ssh -t -l vries 127.0.0.1 gdbserver --once \

Process stop-reply-no-thread-multi created; pid = 32600^M

set remote threads-packet off^M
FAIL: gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread-multi.exp: target-non-stop=off: \
to_disable=: set remote threads-packet off (timeout)
...
This is due to this line in ${board}_spawn:
...
set board_info($board,fileid) $spawn_id
...
We have the following series of events:
- gdb is spawned, setting fileid
- a few gdb commands (set height etc) are send using fileid, arrive at gdb and
are successful
- gdbserver is spawned, overwriting fileid
- the next gdb command is sent using fileid, so it's send
to gdbserver instead of gdb, and we run into the timeout.
There is some notion of current gdb, tracked in both gdb_spawn_id and fileid
of the host board (see switch_gdb_spawn_id). And because the host and target
board are the same, spawning something on the target overwrites the fileid on
host, and consequently the current gdb.
Fix this by only setting fileid when spawning gdb.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Now gdb.server/*.exp passes for host+target board local-remote-host-native,
except for file-transfer.exp.

In commit ff581559f9d ("[gdb/testsuite] Add gdb.testsuite/board-sanity.exp") I
removed handling of HOST_DIR in local-remote-host-native.exp to fix FAILs
in test-case gdb.testsuite/board-sanity.exp.
Reintroduce handling of HOST_DIR using remotedir, now that using remotedir for
a host board no longer make compilation fail due to commit 80d6c79866f
("[gdb/testsuite] Handle remotedir in remote_upload").
This fixes an XFAIL in gdb.testsuite/board-sanity.exp, introduced in commit
3741934fdb0 ("[gdb/testsuite] Set remotedir by default in some boards").

Handle REMOTE_HOST_USERNAME in local-remote-host, similar to how that's done for
REMOTE_TARGET_USERNAME in remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.
This helps to keep the home dir clean.
Since the setup makes $build/gdb/testsuite on build unreadable for the remote
host, we run into permission problems for GDB and the data-directory, so fix
this (as was done for gdbserver in gdbserver-base.exp) using file normalize.

When doing a gdb_simple_compile, and downloading the resulting exec $obj
to target the result $target_obj may be a relative file path, which may give
problems when trying to do:
...
remote_exec target $target_obj
...
Fix/workaround this on some target boards by setting remotedir by default, and
add a corresponding test in gdb.testsuite/board-sanity.exp.
This doesn't work for host/target board local-remote-host-native, so xfail this.

Add a test-case that tests the sanity of target/host boards.
It contains a number of tests related to remote file manipulation, exercising:
- remote_upload
- remote_download
- remote_file exists
- remote_file delete
which check that these work together as expected.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with all relevant gdb/testsuite/boards/*.exp boards.
For target board remote-stdio-gdbserver.exp, this revealed a trivial problem
with the return value of proc ${board}_file for delete, so fix this.
The test-case shows that the proc ${board}_download in
local-remote-host-native.exp is broken, so remove it.
Likewise for board local-remote-host.exp, so remove proc ${board}_download and
associated ${board}_file.

The problem is that we're trying to run an executable on the target board using
a host path.
After fixing this by downloading the exec to the target board, we run into:

Fix this by using an absolute path name for the exec on the target board.
The dejagnu proc standard_file does not support op == "absolute" for target
boards, so add an implementation in remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp.
Also:
- fix a PATH-in-test-name issue
- cleanup gdb.txt and standalone.txt on target board

This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.

The canonical form of 'if' in modern TCL is 'if {} {}'. But there's
still a bunch of places in the testsuite where we make use of the
'then' keyword, and sometimes these get copies into new tests, which
just spreads poor practice.
This commit removes all use of the 'then' keyword from the testsuite
library files (in boards/, config/, and lib/). Previous commits have
removed all uses of the 'then' keyword from the test script files,
this commit just cleans up the library files.
There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.

Currently for the target board remote-gdbserver-on-localhost we use the
gdbserver file on build, using a file name which includes "/../".
Fix this by using a normalized file name instead.
This allows us to be more restrictive about which files REMOTE_TARGET_USERNAME
can access:
...
- remote_exec build "chmod go-rx $objdir/outputs"
+ remote_exec build "chmod go-rx $objdir"
...

As reported here
( https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-October/193147.html ) a
number of test-cases fails with a remote target setup, for instance test-case
gdb.base/print-file-var.exp.
So, why don't we see these fails with our remote target boards in
gdb/testsuite/boards, say remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp?
The problem is that the target board uses the same machine and user for
both (by-definition-local) build and remote target, and when using absolute
pathnames to refer to files on build, we can access those files on target,
which in a real remote target setup wouldn't be the case: we'd have to
download them to target first, and then the filename would also be different.
For aforementioned test-case, this happens when the name of a shared library is
passed as absolute file name to gcc:
...
gcc ... -DSHLIB_NAME="$outputs/gdb.base/print-file-var/\
print-file-var-lib2-hidden0-dlopen1-version_id_main0_c.so"
...
Make these problems visible with remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp by
adding an option to specify a test account (still on the same machine)
using REMOTE_TARGET_USERNAME.
We make sure by restricting file permissions, that the test account cannot see
the build files on the $USER account, and that the $USER account cannot see
the target files on the test account.
And so we can reproduce the reported fails:
...
$ cd build/gdb
$ tc="gdb.base/print-file-var.exp"
$ tb="--target_board remote-gdbserver-on-localhost"
$ tbu="REMOTE_TARGET_USERNAME=remote-target"
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS="$tb $tbu $tc"
...
FAIL: gdb.base/print-file-var.exp: lang=c: hidden=0: dlopen=1: \
version_id_main=0: continue to STOP marker

When running test-case gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp on target board

FAIL: gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp: ensure inferior is running

The problem is that the target board uses ssh -T, which fails to guarantee
that output from the inferior will be available.
Fix this by copying proc ${board}_spawn from local-remote-host.exp, which
ensures using ssh -t. [ It would be nice to define an ssh base board to
get rid of the copies, but I'm not addressing that in this commit. ]
Likewise for target board remote-stdio-gdbserver.exp.

Update gdb/testsuite/boards/README to reflect recent commit c4c8c27263d

With test-case gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread-multi.exp and host board
local-remote-host-notty.exp we occasionally run into a silent out, due to
getting:
...
(gdb) kill^M
(gdb) The program is not being run.^M
...
instead of the expected:
...
(gdb) kill^M
The program is not being run.^M
(gdb)
...
Likewise, we occasionally run into a nonsilent timeout:
...
(gdb) disconnect^M
(gdb) You can't do that when your target is `exec'^M
FAIL: gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp: to_disable=Tthread: t_nonstop=on: \
disconnect (timeout)
...
Typically, this results in the test-case taking more than two minutes to run.
The problem can be reproduced using just:
...
$ ssh -l $USER 127.0.0.1 gdb -q -ex kill
...
Note that ssh by default uses -T which disables pseudo-tty allocation (as
opposed to -t which forces pseudo-tty allocation):
...
$ ssh -l $USER 127.0.0.1 -T tty
not a tty
$ ssh -l $USER 127.0.0.1 -t tty
/dev/pts/5
Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.
...
and according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/63241102 the behaviour we're
seeing is specific to using '-T'.
The related host board local-remote-host.exp does use '-t', and the only
difference between the two boards mentioned is whether editing is on or off.
Fix this by:
- moving the content of local-remote-host-notty.exp into
local-remote-host.exp
- consequently, extending the copyright years in local-remote-host.exp
- including local-remote-host.exp in local-remote-host-notty.exp
(making local-remote-host-notty.exp use '-t')
- adding -iex "set editing off" to GDBFLAGS in local-remote-host-notty.exp
This results in the test-case taking just 6 seconds to run.

With test-case gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp and host board
local-remote-host.exp, I run into:

...
The problem is that styling is enabled, and that is causing a regexp mismatch.
With native, styling is disabled in default_gdb_init by doing
'setenv TERM "dumb"', but that only has effect because the build (where we
execute runtest, and consequently the setenv) and the host (where we execute
gdb) are the same. For this host board however, gdb executes on a remote
host, and the setenv has no effect.
We could try to make some generic way to set TERM on the host, but for the
purposes of this test-case it seems sufficient to just add:
...
set GDBFLAGS "${GDBFLAGS} -iex \"set style enabled off\""
...
so let's go with that for now.

The last uses of the F77_FOR_TARGET via passing f77 to GDB's compile
procedure were removed in this commit
commit 0ecee54cfd04a60e7ca61ae07c72b20e21390257
Author: Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
Date: Wed Jun 29 17:50:47 2011 +0000
over 10 years ago. The last .f files in the testsuite by now are all
being compiled by passing 'f90' to the GDB compile, thus only actually
using F90_FOR_TARGET (array-element.f, block-data.f, subarray.f).
Gfortran in this case is backwards compatible with most f77 code as
claimed on gcc.gnu.org/fortran.
The reason we'd like to get rid of this now is, that we'll be
implementing a Fortran compiler identification mechanism, similar to the
C/Cpp existing ones. It would be using the Fortran preprocessor macro
defines to identify the Fortran compiler version at hand. We found it
inconsequent to only implement this for f90 but, on the other hand, f77
seems deprecated. So, with this commit we remove the remaining lines for
its support.

When running with the native-extended-gdbserver board, I currently see
one failure in gdb.mi/mi-exec-run.exp:
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-exec-run.exp: inferior-tty=separate: mi=separate: force-fail=0: breakpoint hit reported on console (timeout)
In this test the MI interface should be started in a separate tty,
which means we should have a CLI tty and an MI tty, however, this is
not happening. Instead GDB is just started in MI mode and there is no
CLI tty.
The test script tries to switch between the CLI an MI terminals and
look for some expected output on each, however, as there is no CLI
terminal the expected output never arrives, and the test times out.
It turns out that this is not a GDB problem, rather, this is an issue
with argument passing within the test script.
The proc default_mi_gdb_start expects to take a set of flags (strings)
as arguments, each of flag is expected to be a separate argument. The
default_mi_gdb_start proc collects all its arguments into a list using
the special 'args' parameter name, and then iterates over this list to
see which flags were passed.
In mi_gdb_start, which forwards to default_mi_gdb_start, the arguments
are also gathered into the 'args' parameter list, but are then
expanded back to be separate arguments using the eval trick, i.e.:
proc mi_gdb_start { args } {
return [eval default_mi_gdb_start $args]
}
This ensures that when we arrive in default_mi_gdb_start each flag is
a separate argument, rather than appearing as a single list containing
all arguments.
When using the native-extended-gdbserver board however, the file
boards/native-extended-gdbserver.exp is loaded, and this file replaces
the default mi_gdb_start with its own version.
This new mi_gdb_start also gathers the arguments into an 'args' list,
but forgets to expand the arguments out using the eval trick.
As a result, when using the native-extended-gdbserver board, by the
time we get to default_mi_gdb_start, we end up with the args list
containing a single item, which is a list containing all the arguments
the user passed.
What this means is that if the user passes two arguments, then, in
default_mi_gdb_start, instead of seeing two separate arguments, we see
a single argument made by concatenating the two arguments together.
The only place this is a problem is in the test mi-exec-run.exp,
which (as far as I can see) is the only test where we might try to
pass both arguments at the same time. Currently we think we passed
both arguments to mi_gdb_start, but mi_gdb_start behaves as if no
arguments were passed.
This commit fixes the problem by making use of the eval trick within
the native-extended-gdbserver version of mi_gdb_start. After this,
the FAIL listed at the top of this message is resolved.

When running test-case gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp with target board
native-gdbserver, I run into (added missing double quotes for clarity):

No such file or directory: [lindex $result 3] == $expect_status
...
As in commit a02a90c114c "[gdb/testsuite] Set sysroot earlier in
local-board.exp", the problem is the use of -ex for
"set auto-connect-native-target off", which makes that the last command to
be executed, and consequently determines the return status.
Fix this by using -iex instead.

When running test-case gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp for native, it passes.
But with target board cc-with-debug-names, we run into (added missing double
quotes for clarity):
...
builtin_spawn $build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdb -nw -nx \
-data-directory $build/gdb/testsuite/../data-directory \

: No such file or directory\.: [lindex $result 2] == 0
FAIL: gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp: \
: No such file or directory\.: [lindex $result 3] == $expect_status
...
The difference between the passing and failing case is that with native we
have (leaving out set height/width for brevity):
...
$ gdb -batch ""; echo $?
: No such file or directory.
1
...
and with target board cc-with-debug-names:
...
$ gdb -ex "set sysroot" -batch ""; echo $?
: No such file or directory.
0
...
The difference is expected. GDB returns the exit status of the last executed
command. In the former case that's 'file ""', which fails. In the latter case,
that's 'set sysroot', which succeeds.
Fix this by setting sysroot using -iex instead of -ex in local-board.exp, such
that we have the expected:
...
$ gdb -iex "set sysroot" -batch ""; echo $?
: No such file or directory.

By default, when using the -g switch, avr-gcc generates stabs debug
information. I think it would make more sense to test GDB against DWARF
information, because stabs is obsolete by now, and nobody work on it.
So change the simavr board to pass -gdwarf-4 as the debug flag.
The downside is that users are probably more likely to use just -g, so
we don't test GDB the same way as users are likely to use it. But in
this case, if somebody comes and asks for help with GDB for AVR, I
suggest we encourage them to use -gdwarf-4.
I can't give stats about how that changes test results, because the
testsuite is too broken. There is an internal error that happens quite
frequently that needs to be investigated:
/home/simark/src/wt/avr/gdb/trad-frame.h:143: internal-error: LONGEST trad_frame_saved_reg::addr() const: Assertion `m_kind == trad_frame_saved_reg_kind::ADDR' failed.

This patch makes a few adjustments to the simavr.exp to handle tests
that error out more gracefully. I put all the changes in the same patch
because right now it's in a very bad shape, so it's very painful to do
small incremental adjustements. I found that with these changes, it
becomes reasonably stable.
For example, the gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp test is a bit buggy
(stuff for another patch...), in that it calls gdb_load (through
clean_restart) with a file that doesn't exist. The gdb_load
implementation in simavr.exp gets called with a file that doesn't exist,
and simavr (expectedly) fails to start.
When this happens, we currently leave the $simavr_spawn_id variable set.
However, because the simavr process has terminated, its spawn id is
closed. When the next test tries to close the previous connection to
simavr, it fails to, and this error is thrown:
ERROR: close: spawn id exp86 not open
while executing
"close -i $simavr_spawn_id"
(procedure "gdb_load" line 18)
invoked from within
In other words, any test ran after step-over-syscall.exp will have
simavr.exp's gdb_load fail on it.
This patch tries to make sure that simavr.exp's gdb_load only leaves
simavr_spawn_id set if everything went fine. If we couldn't start
simavr, don't see the expected output, or fail to connect to it, we
close the spawn id (if needed) and unset simavr_spawn_id.
As an additional precaution, I added a catch around the "close the
previous connection" code. Ideally, this shouldn't be necessary, but I
bet there are other similar scenarios where we might try to close an
already close spawn id. So I think displaying a warning is better than
messing up all following tests.
Also, the board never wait'ed for the simavr process, resulting in tons
of zombie simavr processes hanging around. This patch adds some calls
to "wait" whenever we close the connection (or realize it is already
closed), which seems to fix the problem.
Finally I switched a `gdb_expect` to bare `expect`, where we wait for
the "listening" message from simavr. I found it necessary because
gdb_expect (through remote_expect) adds a `-i <gdb spawn id> -timeout
10`. So if for some reason the GDB process has crashed in the mean
time, this expect will unexpectedly error out with a `spawn id <gdb
spawn id> not open`. Therefore, change `gdb_expect` to `expect` so that
we only deal with simavr's spawn id here.
Here are the results on TESTS="gdb.base/*.exp" before:
# of expected passes 4816
# of unexpected failures 4433
# of known failures 2
# of unresolved testcases 300
# of untested testcases 143

I tested using simavr's current master (7c254e2081b5).

This patch adds a board file for against a simavr target (so, for the
AVR architecture).
simavr, when started with option -g, runs a GDB stub on port 1234. In
the current latest release (1.6), the port is hardcoded to 1234. But in
master, there is the option to choose another port. So while the board
file hardcodes the port today, in the future it should be possible to
let the user choose a port, or automatically select a free port.
It is easy enough to run, make sure you have avr-gcc/avr-g++ and simavr
installed, and as usual just run:
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=simavr"
The following environment variables influence the behavior of the board
file:
- SIMAVR_MCU: type of chip to simulate
- SIMAVR_PATH: path to simavr binary (useful if you build your own
simavr or for some reason it is not simply called `simavr`.
As expected, there are a lot of failures. Many tests use some features
not supported by such a target, and I suppose there are real GDB bugs
too. But a lot also passes (including tests that actually run stuff),
so this board file should still help to validate changes to the AVR
architecture support.
These are the results I got of running tests gdb.base/*.exp:
# of expected passes 20926
# of unexpected failures 2257
# of expected failures 14
# of unknown successes 1
# of known failures 13
# of unresolved testcases 592
# of untested testcases 156
# of unsupported tests 30
# of paths in test names 3
# of duplicate test names 56

This patch makes it possible to run tests requiring passing arguments to
the inferior with the native-gdbserver board. The end goal is to write
a test that verifies passing arguments to the inferior works, and to
have that test exercise inferior arguments passed on the gdbserver
command line, when using the native-gdbserver target board (in addition
to the other boards). This is done in the next patch.
With the native-gdbserver target board, gdbserver is started in
gdb_reload (implemented in config/gdbserver.exp), called in gdb_run_cmd.
gdb_run_cmd already supposedly accepts inferior arguments (although that
feature does not seem to be used anywhere), which it passes to the `run`
command, for non-stub target boards. I've changed gdb_run_cmd so that
it forwards these arguments to gdb_reload as well. gdb_reload passes
them to gdbserver_run, and they eventually make their way to the
gdbserver command line.
gdb_run_cmd currently accepts `args` (the varargs of tcl), which means
it receives inferior arguments as a list. This won't work with
arguments with spaces, because they will end up being formatted with
curly braces like this:
% set args [list hello "with spaces" world]
hello {with spaces} world
% puts "run $args"
run hello {with spaces} world
I've changed it to accept a single string that is passed to `run` and
gdb_reload. I've done the same change in gdb_start_cmd and
gdb_starti_cmd, although these two are not used with native-gdbserver.
I've changed all gdb_reload implementations in the tree to accept a new
inferior_args argument, although most of them don't do anything with it
(and don't need to). People maintaining target boards out of tree will
need to do the same.
I found two tests to adjust to avoid adding new failures or errors.
These tests needed new [use_gdb_stub] checks, because they rely on
having GDB run new processes. These are guarded by a [target_info
exists noargs], which made them get skipped on native-gdbserver. But
now that the native-gdbserver board supports args, this is no longer
enough.
Note that with this change, noargs and use_gdb_stub are orthogonal. It
took me a moment to grasp this, so I thought I would spell out the
different possible situations:
- !noargs and !use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by gdb, can pass
args
- noargs and !use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by gdb (perhaps
through extended-remote protocol, the simulator, some other target),
but that target doesn't support inferior arguments
- noargs and use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by some other
program to which GDB connects using the remote protocol, that program
does not support passing args to the inferior process
- !noargs and use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by some other
program to which GDB connects u sing the remote protocol, that program
supports passing args to the inferior process

* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_run_cmd): Change argument from args to
inferior_args. Pass it to gdb_reload.

This patch adds a target board debug-types that switches on
-fdebug-types-section by default.
This -fdebug-types-section option is a gcc option that enables the generation
of a .debug_types section, which is only effective for DWARF version 4.
There are two other boards that enable this: dwarf4-gdb-index and fisson, but
while those test some meaningful combination of options, this board is
intended to test only -fdebug-types-section.
Current results with gcc 7.5.0 are:
...
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 75832
# of unexpected failures 2841
# of expected failures 130
# of known failures 75
# of unresolved testcases 22
# of untested testcases 37
# of unsupported tests 83
...

When using target board cc-with-gdb-index.exp and running tests in parallel,
we run into:
...
gdb compile failed, gdb/contrib/gdb-add-index.sh: line 86: \
build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.sh: Text file busy
...
The problem is that because of the parallel test run, gdb.sh is created for
every single test-case, and eventually gdb.sh is overwritten while being
executed.
Fix this by creating gdb.sh only once.
Tested on x86_64-linux with target board cc-with-gdb-index.exp, using both a
serial and parallel -j 5 test run.

The board file cc-with-tweaks is used as the core for lots of other
board files, for example cc-with-gdb-index and cc-with-debug-names.
This commit extends cc-with-tweaks so that it will wrap the Fortran
compiler, allowing for more test coverage.
I tested all of the board files that make use of cc-with-tweaks
running the gdb.fortran/*.exp test set, and in some cases I did see
extra failures. The "standard" results are:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 953
# of known failures 2
With board file 'cc-with-dwz-m':
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 903
# of unexpected failures 1
# of known failures 2
# of untested testcases 4
With board file 'dwarf4-gdb-index':
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 950
# of unexpected failures 3
# of known failures 2
With board file 'fission-dwp':
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 949
# of unexpected failures 4
# of known failures 2
Despite these extra failure I don't think this should prevent this
change going in as these failures presumably already exist in GDB.
