This patch is the result of running 'isort .' in the gdb directory. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2024-01-12Update copyright year range in header of all files managed by GDBAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
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.

Running 'black' on gdb fixed a couple of small issues. This patch is the result.
2022-06-27[gdb/testsuite] Handle older python in gdb.python/py-send-packet.pyTom de Vries1-2/+6
With python 3.4, I run into: ... Traceback (most recent call last):^M File "<string>", line 1, in <module>^M File "outputs/gdb.python/py-send-packet/py-send-packet.py", line 128, in \ run_set_global_var_test^M res = conn.send_packet(b"X%x,4:\x02\x02\x02\x02" % addr)^M TypeError: Could not convert Python object: b'X%x,4:\x02\x02\x02\x02'.^M Error while executing Python code.^M ... while with python 3.6 this works fine. The type of addr is <class 'gdb.Value'>, so the first thing to try is whether changing it into a string works: ... addr_str = "%x" % addr res = conn.send_packet(b"X%s,4:\x02\x02\x02\x02" % addr_str) ... which gets us the more detailed: ... TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'bytes' and 'str' ... Fix this by avoiding the '%' operator in the byte literal, and use instead: ... def xpacket_header (addr): return ("X%x,4:" % addr).encode('ascii') ... res = conn.send_packet(xpacket_header(addr) + b"\x02\x02\x02\x02") ... Tested on x86_64-linux, with python 3.4 and 3.6, and a backported version was tested on the gdb-12-branch in combination with python 2.7.
2022-03-23gdb/python: remove Python 2 supportSimon Marchi1-41/+17
New in this version: - Add a PY_MAJOR_VERSION check in configure.ac / AC_TRY_LIBPYTHON. If the user passes --with-python=python2, this will cause a configure failure saying that GDB only supports Python 3. Support for Python 2 is a maintenance burden for any patches touching Python support. Among others, the differences between Python 2 and 3 string and integer types are subtle. It requires a lot of effort and thinking to get something that behaves correctly on both. And that's if the author and reviewer of the patch even remember to test with Python 2. See this thread for an example: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-December/184260.html So, remove Python 2 support. Update the documentation to state that GDB can be built against Python 3 (as opposed to Python 2 or 3). Update all the spots that use: - sys.version_info - IS_PY3K - PY_MAJOR_VERSION - gdb_py_is_py3k ... to only keep the Python 3 portions and drop the use of some now-removed compatibility macros. I did not update the configure script more than just removing the explicit references to Python 2. We could maybe do more there, like check the Python version and reject it if that version is not supported. Otherwise (with this patch), things will only fail at compile time, so it won't really be clear to the user that they are trying to use an unsupported Python version. But I'm a bit lost in the configure code that checks for Python, so I kept that for later. Change-Id: I75b0f79c148afbe3c07ac664cfa9cade052c0c62

2021-11-30gdb/python: add gdb.RemoteTargetConnection.send_packetAndrew Burgess1-0/+176
This commits adds a new sub-class of gdb.TargetConnection, gdb.RemoteTargetConnection. This sub-class is created for all 'remote' and 'extended-remote' targets. This new sub-class has one additional method over its base class, 'send_packet'. This new method is equivalent to the 'maint packet' CLI command, it allows a custom packet to be sent to a remote target. The outgoing packet can either be a bytes object, or a Unicode string, so long as the Unicode string contains only ASCII characters. The result of calling RemoteTargetConnection.send_packet is a bytes object containing the reply that came from the remote.
