I noticed some code in print_gdb_hints that is unused. I rolled a

gdb: handle unlimited screen width case in print_gdb_hints
was merged that deleted some of the code I'd spotted. All that's left
is a 'return' that can be removed, there's nothing after the 'if'
block, the function just returns.

This avoids a crash when this function is called while screen width is
unlimited. In such a case (unconditionally occurring in insight), WIDTH
is returned as a negative signed integer, so it has to be compared to
another signed integer, not a size_t.
Also remove an unused WIDTH-sized variable that may fail in the above
case.

The problem is that UTF-8 string literals have type:

Currently, on startup, GDB prints a lot of licensing information and
then a few hints for new users. While there is an attempt to separate
the hints from the rest of the text, my user testing showed that it is
not good enough, and most unfamiliar users will just skip the
information. Especially considering that the documentation link happens
before the separation.
This commit attempts to make the startup message more friendly to new
users by visually separating the most important commands from the
copyright. If there is enough space available, a box is printed
containing the hints (either using unicode box drawing characters, if
emojis are allowed, or using ascii). If there isn't space for a box,
a simple line separator is printed. The code deems "enough space
available" when there is enough space to print the documentation URL
inside the box, since the other hints will be broken into multiple
lines if necessary.
Here are examples of the 2 possible startups, with enough space:

PR ada/33217 points out that gdb incorrectly calls the <ctype.h>
functions. In particular, gdb feels free to pass a 'char' like:
char *str = ...;
... isdigit (*str)
This is incorrect as isdigit only accepts EOF and values that can be
represented as 'unsigned char' -- that is, a cast is needed here to
avoid undefined behavior when 'char' is signed and a character in the
string might be sign-extended. (As an aside, I think this API seems
obviously bad, but unfortunately this is what the standard says, and
some systems check this.)
Rather than adding casts everywhere, this changes all the code in gdb
that uses any <ctype.h> API to instead call the corresponding c-ctype
function.
Now, c-ctype has some limitations compared to <ctype.h>. It works as
if the C locale is in effect, so in theory some non-ASCII characters
may be misclassified. This would only affect a subset of character
sets, though, and in most places I think ASCII is sufficient -- for
example the many places in gdb that check for whitespace.
Furthermore, in practice most users are using UTF-8-based locales,
where these functions aren't really informative for non-ASCII
characters anyway; see the existing workarounds in gdb/c-support.h.
Note that safe-ctype.h cannot be used because it causes conflicts with
readline.h. And, we canot poison the <ctype.h> identifiers as this
provokes errors from some libstdc++ headers.

GDB has support for many binary file formats, some which might be very
unlikely to be found in some situations (such as the XCOFF format in
an x86 system). This commit introduces the option for a user to choose
which formats GDB will support at build configuration time.
This is especially useful to avoid possible security concerns with
readers that aren't expected to be used at all, as they are one of
the simplest vectors for an attacker to try and hit GDB with. This
change can also reduce the size of the final binary, if that is a
concern.
This commit adds a switch to the configure script allowing a user to
only enable selected file formats, called --enable-binary-file-formats.
The default behavior when the switch is omitted is to compile all file
formats, keeping the original behavior of the script. At the time of
this commit, the valid options for this option are: dbx, coff (which
includes coff-pe), xcoff, mips, elf, macho and all. All is treated
especially, activating all supported readers.
A few targets may require specific binary file format support, as they
directly call functions defined by the file reader. Specifically,
windows targets require coff support, and rs6000 aix and lynx178 targets
require xcoff support. Considering that those formats are the main - or
only - one available in those targets, I believe it makes sense to
re-enable those readers. If that happens, the script will emit the
following warning:
FOO is required to support one or more requested targets. Adding it
Users aren't able to force the disabling of those formats, since GDB
will not compile without those readers. Ideally we'd like to be able
to disable even those formats, in case a user wants to build GDB only
to examine remote files for example, but the current infrastructure
for the file format readers doesn't allow us to do it.
Mach-O and elf support are also dependent on BFD support being compiled
in. In case one of those was requested and BFD does not support them,
the following error is emitted:
FOO was requested, but BFD does not support it.
Finally, this configure switch is also printed by the "show
configuration" command in GDB.

This patch introduces a new macro, INIT_GDB_FILE. This is used to
replace the current "_initialize_" idiom when introducing a per-file
initialization function. That is, rather than write:
void _initialize_something ();
void
_initialize_something ()
{
...
}
... now you would write:
INIT_GDB_FILE (something)
{
...
}
The macro handles both the declaration and definition of the function.
The point of this approach is that it makes it harder to accidentally
cause an initializer to be omitted; see commit 2711e475 ("Ensure
cooked_index_entry self-tests are run"). Specifically, the regexp now
used by make-init-c seems harder to trick.

This allows an interpreter to override internal calls to
gdb_do_one_event in case the former needs to handle alternate event
sources.
The default action is to call gdb_do_one_event and this is not overriden
in current internal interpreters. However this feature allows to easily
embed Tcl/Tk in insight that needs to concurrently handle Tcl events for
GUI handling.
In all cases, an interpreter event servicing method must call
gdb_do_one_event at some point.
All internal event servicing calls from gdb now direct to the
interpreter-specific method rather than gdb_do_one_event itself.

Consider operate-and-get-next [1] in bash:
...
$ <echo 1>echo 1<enter>
1
$ <echo 2>echo 2<enter>
2
$ <Ctrl-r>(reverse-i-search)`': <echo 1>echo 1<Ctrl-o>
1
$ echo 2<Ctrl-o>
2
$ echo 1
...
So, typing Ctrl-o:
- executes the recalled command, and
- prefills the next one (which then can be executed again with Ctrl-o).
We have the same functionality in gdb, but when recalling the last command
from history with bash we have no prefill:
...
$ <echo 1>echo 1<enter>
1
$ <Ctrl-r>(reverse-i-search)`': <echo 1>echo 1<Ctrl-o>
1
$
...
but with gdb do we have a prefill:
...
(gdb) echo 1\n
1
(gdb) <Ctrl-r>(reverse-i-search)`': <echo 1>echo 1\n<Ctrl-o>
1
(gdb) echo 1\n
...
Following the principle of least surprise [2], I think gdb should do what bash
does.
Fix this by:
- signalling this case in gdb_rl_operate_and_get_next using
"operate_saved_history = -1", and
- handling operate_saved_history == -1 in
gdb_rl_operate_and_get_next_completion.

When debugging readline issues I'd like an easy way to know (for sure)
what version of readline GDB is using. This could also be useful when
writing readline tests, knowing the precise readline version will
allow us to know if we expect a test to pass or not.
Add the readline library version to the output of the 'show
configuration' command. Also include a suffix indicating if we are
using the system readline, or the statically linked in readline.
The information about static readline vs shared readline can be
figured out from the configure command output, but having it repeated
in the readline version line makes it super easy to grok within tests,
and it's super cheap, so I don't see this as a problem.

Move more setup of the readline global state relating to tab
completion into completer.c out of top.c.
Lots of the readline setup is done in init_main (top.c). This commit
moves those bits of initialisation that relate to completion, and
which are only set the one time, into completer.c. This does mean
that readline initialisation is now done in multiple locations, some
in init_main (top.c) and some in completer.c, but I think this is OK.
The work done in init_main is the general readline setup.
I think making static what can be made static, and having it all in
one file, makes things easier to reason about. So I'm OK with having
this split initialisation.
The only completion related thing which is still setup in top.c is
rl_completion_display_matches_hook. I've left this where it is for
now as rl_completion_display_matches_hook is also updated in the tui
code, and the display hook functions are not in completer.c anyway, so
moving this initialisation to completer.c would not allow anything
else to be made static.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

In gdb_completion_word_break_characters_throw, after calling
complete_line_internal, if the completion function chose to use a
custom word point then we set rl_completer_quote_characters to NULL.
However, nowhere do we set rl_completer_quote_characters back to its
default value, which is setup in init_main (top.c).
An example of something that uses a custom word point for its
completion is 'thread apply all ...'.
An example of something that relies on rl_completer_quote_characters
would be completion of a quoted filename that contains white space.
Consider this shell and GDB session. The <TAB> markers indicate where
I've used tab to trigger completion:
$ mkdir /tmp/aaa\ bbb
$ touch /tmp/aaa\ bbb/xx\ 11
$ touch /tmp/aaa\ bbb/xx\ 22
$ gdb -q
(gdb) file '/tmp/aaa bbb/xx<TAB><TAB>
xx 11 xx 22
(gdb) thread apply all hel<TAB>
(gdb) thread apply all help
(gdb) file '/tmp/aaa bbb/xx<TAB><TAB>
First I create a directory structure which uses white space within
file and directory names. Then within GDB I use the 'file' command
and use a single quote to quote the filename. When I tab complete GDB
correctly offers the two files within the directory '/tmp/aaa bbb/'.
This works because rl_completer_quote_characters contains the single
quote, and so readline knows that it is trying to complete the string
that starts after the single quote: /tmp/aaa bbb/xx
Next I invoke the completer for the 'thread apply all' command, to do
this I type 'thread apply all hel' and hit tab, this expands to the
one completion 'thread apply all help'. We can run this command or
not, it doesn't matter (there are no threads, so we'll get no output).
Now I repeat the original 'file' completion. This time though I don't
get offered any completions.
The reason is that the 'thread apply all' completer set
rl_completer_quote_characters to nullptr. Now, when readline tries to
figure out the word to complete it doesn't see the single quote as the
start of a quoted word, so instead readline falls back to the word
break characters, and in this case spots the white space. As a result
readline tries to complete the string 'bbb/xx' which obviously doesn't
have any completions.
By setting rl_completer_quote_characters each time completion is
invoked this problem is resolved and the second 'file' command
completes as expected.
I've extended gdb.base/filename-completion.exp to also test with
quoted filenames, and added a 'thread apply all' completion at the
start to expose this bug.
As setting of rl_completer_quote_characters is now all done in the
completer.c file the function get_gdb_completer_quote_characters()
could be made static. However, as this function is only used one time
to initialise rl_completer_quote_characters, I've instead just deleted
get_gdb_completer_quote_characters() and used
gdb_completer_quote_characters directly.

This removes finalize_values in favor of adding a new final cleanup.

Right now, Python is shut down via a final cleanup. However, it seems
to me that it is better for extension languages to be shut down
explicitly, after all the ordinary final cleanups are run. The main
reason for this is that a subsequent patch adds another case like

If you want to install GDB in a custom prefix, have it look for debug info
in that prefix but also in the distro's default location (typically,
/usr/lib/debug) and run the GDB testsuite before doing "make install", you
have a bit of a problem:
Configuring GDB with '--prefix=$PREFIX' sets the GDB 'debug-file-directory'
parameter to $PREFIX/lib/debug. Unfortunately this precludes GDB from
looking for distro-installed debug info in /usr/lib/debug. For regular GDB
use you could set debug-file-directory to $PREFIX:/usr/lib/debug in
$PREFIX/etc/gdbinit so that GDB will look in both places, but if you want
to run the testsuite then that doesn't help because in that case GDB runs
with the '-nx' option.
There's the configure option '--with-separate-debug-dir' to set the default
value for 'debug-file-directory', but it accepts only one directory and not
a list. I considered modifying it to accept a list, but it's not obvious
how to do that because its value is also used by BFD, as well as processed
for "relocatability".
I thought it was simpler to add a new option to specify a list of
additional directories that will be appended to the debug-file-directory
setting.

- using this in test-case gdb.tui/pr30056.exp to declare it unsupported for

Therefore the second call to lookup_cmd () at line 697 fails to find
command because the original command string is gone.
This commit addresses this particular problem by creating a *copy* of
original command string for the sole purpose of using it after command
execution to lookup the command again. It may not be the most efficient
way but it's safer given that command buffer is shared and overwritten
in hard-to-foresee situations.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

I'd like to move some things so they become methods on struct ui. But
first, I think that struct ui and the related things are big enough to
deserve their own file, instead of being scattered through top.{c,h} and
event-top.c.

PR 30219 shows an internal error due to a "Bad switch" in
print_exception() in gdb/exceptions.c. The switch in question
contains cases for RETURN_QUIT and RETURN_ERROR, but is missing a case
for the recently added RETURN_FORCED_QUIT. This commit adds that case.
Making the above change allows the errant test case to pass, but does
not fix the underlying problem, which I'll describe shortly. Even
though the addition of a case for RETURN_FORCED_QUIT isn't the actual
fix, I still think it's important to add this case so that other
situations which lead to print_exeption() being called won't generate
that "Bad switch" internal error.
In order to understand the underlying problem, please examine
this portion of the backtrace from the bug report:
0x5576e4ff5780 print_exception
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/exceptions.c:100
0x5576e4ff5930 exception_print(ui_file*, gdb_exception const&)
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/exceptions.c:110
0x5576e6a896dd quit_force(int*, int)
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/top.c:1849
The real problem is in quit_force; here's the try/catch which
eventually leads to the internal error:
/* Get out of tfind mode, and kill or detach all inferiors. */
try
{
disconnect_tracing ();
for (inferior *inf : all_inferiors ())
kill_or_detach (inf, from_tty);
}
catch (const gdb_exception &ex)
{
exception_print (gdb_stderr, ex);
}
While running the calls in the try-block, a QUIT check is being
performed. This check finds that sync_quit_force_run is (still) set,
causing a gdb_exception_forced_quit to be thrown. The exception
gdb_exception_forced_quit is derived from gdb_exception, causing
exception_print to be called. As shown by the backtrace,
print_exception is then called, leading to the internal error.
The actual fix, also implemented by this commit, is to clear
sync_quit_force_run along with the quit flag. This will allow the
various cleanup code, called by quit_force, to run without triggering
a gdb_exception_forced_quit. (Though, if another SIGTERM is sent to
the gdb process, these flags will be set again and a QUIT check in the
cleanup code will detect it and throw the exception.)

This changes top.c to use std::string rather than struct buffer. Like
the event-top.c change, this is not completely ideal in that it
requires a copy of the string.

'gdb --configuration' does not mention if GDB was built with curses.
Since b5075fb68d4 (Rename to allow_tui_tests, 2023-01-08) it does show
--enable-tui (or --disable-tui), but one might want to know if GDB was
built with curses independently of the availability of the TUI.
Since configure.ac uses AC_SEARCH_LIBS to check for the curses library,
we do not get an automatically defined HAVE_LIBCURSES symbol in
config.in. We do have symbols defined by AC_CHECK_HEADERS
(HAVE_CURSES_H, etc.) but it would be cumbersome to use those in
print_gdb_configuration because we would have to check for all 6 symbols
corresponding the 6 headers listed. This would also increase the
maintenance burden if support for other variations of curses are added.
Instead, define 'HAVE_LIBCURSES' ourselves by adding an
'action-if-found' argument to AC_SEARCH_LIBS, and use it in
print_gdb_configuration.
While at it, remove the condition on 'ac_cv_search_waddstr' and set
'curses_found' directly in 'action-if-found'.

Ensure that the "show configuration" command and the "--configuration"
command line switch shows if GDB was built with the AMDGPU support or
not.
This will be used in a later patch in this series.
