This renaming was done to stay consistent with the naming of the new
gdb.InferiorThread.handle method. I had initially named it "thread_handle"
but Tom Tromey suggested just "handle".
The old name (thread_from_thread_handle) still works, but is marked as
deprecated in comments in the code as well as in the documentation.
I have some code which uses these functions. I very much like the
brevity of the new names.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Inferiors In Python): Rename
Inferior.thread_from_thread_handle to Inferior.thread_from_handle.
Add note about the former being deprecated.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_thread_from_thread_handle):
Adjust comments to reflect renaming of thread_from_thread_handle

thread_from_thread_handle, but mark it as deprecated.

If an convenience function is defined in python (or guile), then
currently this will not work in Fortran, instead the user is given
this message:
(gdb) set language fortran
(gdb) p $myfunc (3)
Cannot perform substring on this type
Compare this to C:
(gdb) set language c
(gdb) p $myfunc (3)
$1 = 1
After this patch we see the same behaviour in both C and Fortran.
I've extended the test to check that all languages can call the
convenience functions - only Fortran was broken.
When calling convenience functions in Fortran we don't need to perform
the same value preparation (passing by pointer) that we would for
calling a native function - passing the real value is fine.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* eval.c (evaluate_subexp_standard): Handle internal functions
during Fortran function call handling.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-function.exp: Check calling helper function from
all languages.
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_supported_languages): New proc.

The str () function, called on a gdb.Value instance, produces a string
representation similar to what can be achieved with the print command,
but it doesn't allow to specify additional formatting settings, for
instance disabling pretty printers.
This patch introduces a new format_string () method to gdb.Value which
allows specifying more formatting options, thus giving access to more
features provided by the internal C function common_val_print ().

The documentation say that the display_hint method must return a
string to serve as a display hint, and then goes on to list some
acceptable strings.
However, if we don't supply the display_hint method then we get a
default display style behaviour and there's currently no way (in the
python api) to force this default behaviour.
The guile api allows #f to be used in order to force the default
display style behaviour, and this is documented.
Currently, using None in the python api also forces the default
display behaviour.
This commit extends the documentation to make returning None from the
display_hint method an official mechanism by which the user can get
the default display style.
I've extended one of the existing tests to cover this case.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Pretty Printing API): Document use of None for the
display_hint.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-prettyprint.c (struct container) <is_map_p>: New

* gdb.python/py-prettyprint.py (class ContainerPrinter)

This makes the test names unique in gdb.python/py-prettyprint.exp, it
also switches to use gdb_breakpoint and gdb_continue_to_breakpoint
more so that we avoid test names with the source line number in - this
is bad if the test source ever changes as the test names will then
change.
One final change is to switch from using gdb_py_test_silent_cmd to use
gdb_test_no_output, the former should be used for running python
commands and can catch any thrown exception. However, in this case
the command being run is not a python command, its just a normal GDB
CLI command that produces no output, so lets use the appropriate
wrapper function.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-prettyprint.exp: Use gdb_breakpoint and
gdb_continue_to_breakpoint more throughout this test.
(run_lang_tests) Supply unique test names, and use
gdb_test_no_output.

This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.

A while back I typed "info pretty-printers" with a large number of
printers installed, and I typed "q" to stop the pagination. I noticed
that gdb printed a Python exception in this case.
It seems to me that, instead, quitting pagination (or control-c'ing a
Python command generally) should be handled the same way that gdb
normally handles a quit.
This patch implements this idea by changing gdbpy_handle_exception to
treat PyExc_KeyboardInterrupt specially.

Since commit
56bcdbea2bed ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
command repetition after using the `gdb.execute` Python function
fails (the previous command is not repeated anymore). This happens
because read_command_lines_1 sets dont_repeat, but the call to
prevent_dont_repeat in execute_gdb_command is later.
The fix is to move the call to prevent_dont_repeat to the beginning of
the function.
Tested on my laptop (ArchLinux-x86_64).

The test loop in test_python_inline_or_multiline was not checking for the
gdb prompt. readline_is_used then reads in the prompt causing it to fail
and the final chunk of tests to be skipped.
Spotted this error because sometimes the gdb prompt does get processed
correctly and the final tests are run, causing it to show up in the
racy tests script output.
Fix by ensuring the prompt is always checked for. To do this the list
style needs reformatting so that variables get expanded.

I've written a couple of gdb unwinders in Python, and while doing so,
I wanted to find the architecture of the inferior. (In an unwinder in
particular, one can't use the frame's architecture, because there is
no frame.)
This patch adds Inferior.architecture to allow this. Normally I think
I would have chosen an attribute and not a method here, but seeing
that Frame.architecture is a method, I chose a method as well, for
consistency.

This patch is another attempt to fix PR cli/19551. Unlike my previous
attempt, it doesn't print progress. Instead, it just changes some
messages and adds newlines to make the output a bit nicer.
It also removes the "done." text that was previously emitted. The
idea here is that it is obvious when gdb is done reading debug info,
as it starts then doing something else; and that while this message
did not provide much benefit to users, it did make it harder to make
the output clean.
After this change the output from "./gdb -iex 'set complaint 1' -nx ./gdb"
reads:

A convention in the Python layer is that raising a gdb.GdbError will
not print the Python stack -- instead the exception is treated as any
other gdb exception.
PR python/18852 asks that this treatment be extended the the
get_set_value method of gdb.Parameter. This makes sense, because it
lets Python-created parameters act like gdb parameters.

PR python/18170 questions why it's not possible to convert a pointer
value to a Python int.
Digging a bit shows that the Python 2.7 int() constructor will happily
return a long in some cases. And, it seems gdb already understands
this in other places -- this is what gdb_py_object_from_longest
handles.
So, this patch simply extends valpy_int to allow pointer conversions,
as valpy_long does.

Since commit
56bcdbea2bed ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
trying to use a command like gdb.execute("show commands") in Python
fails. GDB ends up trying to run the "commands" command.
The reason is that GDB gets confused with the special "commands"
command. In process_next_line, the lookup_cmd_1 function returns the
cmd_list_element representing the "commands" sub-command of "show".
Lower, we check the cmd_list_element to see if it matches various
control commands by name, including the "commands" command. This is
where we wrongfully conclude that the executed command must be
"commands", when in reality it was "show commands".
The fix proposed in this patch removes the comparisons by name, instead
comparing the cmd_list_element object by pointer with the objects
created at initialization time.
Tested on the buildbot, though on a single builder (Fedora-x86_64-m64).

Printing a GDB Python object is notoriously not helpful:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior object at 0x7fea59aed198>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile object at 0x7fea59b57c90>]
This makes printing debug traces more difficult than it should be. This
patch provides some repr() implementation for these two types (more to
come if people agree with the idea, but I want to test the water first).
Here's the same example as above, but with this patch:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior num=1>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile filename=/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb-gcc-git/gdb/test>]
I implemented repr rather than str, because when printing a list (or
another container I suppose), Python calls the repr method of the
elements. This is useful when printing a list of inferiors or objfiles.
The print(gdb.objfiles()) above would not have worked if I had
implemented str.

str:

Commit 6d52907e226a (MI: Print frame architecture when printing frames
on an MI channel) added frame's architecture to MI frame output. However
the frame architecture was not correctly printed in the output of
"-stack-list-frames" with frame filters enabled (via "-enable-frame-filters").
This was because with frame filters enabled, the actual frame printing is
done in "py_print_frame" rather than "print_frame". This issue is now fixed.

Invoking -var-info-path-expression on a dynamic varobj lead either in wrong
(nonsense) result or to a segmentation fault in cplus_describe_child().
This was caused by the fact that varobj_get_path_expr() called
cplus_path_expr_of_child() ignoring the fact the parent of the variable
is dynamic. Then, cplus_describe_child() accessed the underlaying C type
members by index, causing (i) either wrong (nonsense) expression being
returned (since dynamic child may be completely arbibtrary value)
or (ii) segmentation fault (in case the index higher than number of
underlaying C type members.
This fixes the problem by checking whether a varobj is a child of a dynamic
varobj and, if so, reporting an error as described in documentation.

This adds a "continue" response to the pager. If the user types "c"
in response to the pager prompt, pagination will be disabled for the
duration of one command -- but re-enabled afterward. This is handy if
you type a command that produces a lot of output, and you don't want
to baby-sit it by typing "return" each time the prompt comes up.

It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI
will print the "set" help text by default. I think usually "set"
commands should be silent. And, while you can modify this behavior a
bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an
empty string, a blank line will be printed.
This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string
behavior to avoid printing a blank line. The code has a comment about
preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important;
and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is
trivial.

This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at
each call, this is not exposed to Python; it could be, but I think
it's just as good to write a convenience function in this situation.

PR python/16497 notes that using "bt" with a positive argument prints
the wrong number of frames when a frame filter is in use. Also, in this
case, the non-frame-filter path will print a message about "More stack
frames" when there are more; but this is not done in the frame-filter
case.
The first problem is that backtrace_command_1 passes the wrong value
to apply_ext_lang_frame_filter -- that function takes the final
frame's number as an argument, but backtrace_command_1 passes the
count, which is off by one.
The solution to the second problem is to have the C stack-printing
code stop at the correct number of frames and then print the message.
Tested using the buildbot.

Make the MI variable object expression evaluation, with the
-var-evaluate-expression command, recursively call pretty printers, to
match the output of normal expression printing.
Consider the following code:
struct Foo { int val; };
struct Wrapper { Foo foo; };
int main() {
Wrapper w;
w.foo.val = 23;
}
and this pretty printer file:
import gdb.printing
class FooPrinter:
def __init__(self, val):
self.val = val
def to_string(self):
return "Foo" + str(self.val["val"])
class WrapperPrinter:
def __init__(self, val):
self.val = val
def to_string(self):
return self.val["foo"]
test_printer = gdb.printing.RegexpCollectionPrettyPrinter("test")
test_printer.add_printer('Foo', '^Foo$', FooPrinter)
test_printer.add_printer('Wrapper', '^Wrapper$', WrapperPrinter)
gdb.printing.register_pretty_printer(None, test_printer)
Setting a breakpoint at the end of the function, we call the following commands:
-enable-pretty-printing
^done
-var-create var_w @ w
^done,name="var_w",numchild="0",value="{val = 23}",type="Wrapper",dynamic="1",has_more="0"
-var-create var_w_foo @ w.foo
^done,name="var_w_foo",numchild="0",value="Foo23",type="Foo",dynamic="1",has_more="0"
-var-evaluate-expression var_w
^done,value="{val = 23}"
-var-evaluate-expression var_w_foo
^done,value="Foo23"
-data-evaluate-expression w
^done,value="Foo23"
-data-evaluate-expression w.foo
^done,value="Foo23"
So, in the -var-evaluate-expression var_w case, we print the "raw" value
of w.foo, while in the -data-evaluate-expression w case, we print the
pretty printed w.foo value. After this patch, all of the above print
"Foo23".

When creating a varobj with -var-create a user can create either fixed
varobj, or floating varobj.
A fixed varobj will always be evaluated within the thread/frame/block in
which the varobj was created, if that thread/frame/block is no longer
available then the varobj is considered out of scope.
A floating varobj will always be evaluated within the current
thread/frame/block.
Despite never using them GDB was storing the thread/frame/block into a
floating varobj, and the thread-id would then be displayed when GDB
reported on the state of the varobj, this could confuse a user into
thinking that the thread-id was relevant.
This commit prevents GDB storing the thread/frame/block onto floating
varobj, and updates the few tests where this impacts the results.

This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python. It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec. The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).
Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec. Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.
I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test. To be able to test multiple
locations using a namespace, I had to switch the test case to compile as
C++. If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.
