Before this change resolve_dynamic_array_or_string was called for
all TYPE_CODE_ARRAY and TYPE_CODE_STRING types, but, in the end,
this function always called create_array_type_with_stride, which
creates a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY type.
Suppose we have
subroutine vla_array (arr1, arr2)
character (len=*):: arr1 (:)
character (len=5):: arr2 (:)
print *, arr1 ! break-here
print *, arr2
end subroutine vla_array
The "print arr1" and "print arr2" command at the "break-here" line
gives the following output:
(gdb) print arr1
$1 = <incomplete type>
(gdb) print arr2
$2 = ('abcde', 'abcde', 'abcde')
(gdb) ptype arr1
type = Type
End Type
(gdb) ptype arr2
type = character*5 (3)
Dwarf info using Intel® Fortran Compiler for such case contains following:
<1><fd>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_string_type)
<fe> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xd2): .str.ARR1
<102> DW_AT_string_length: 3 byte block: 97 23 8 (DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 8)
After this change resolve_dynamic_array_or_string now calls
create_array_type_with_stride or create_string_type, so if the
incoming dynamic type is a TYPE_CODE_STRING then we'll get back a
TYPE_CODE_STRING type. Now gdb shows following:
(gdb) p arr1
$1 = ('abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij')
(gdb) p arr2
$2 = ('abcde', 'abcde', 'abcde')
(gdb) ptype arr1
type = character*10 (5)
(gdb) ptype arr2
type = character*5 (3)
In case of GFortran, compiler emits DW_TAG_structure_type for string type
arguments of the subroutine and it has only DW_AT_declaration tag. This
results in <incomplete type> in gdb. So, following issue is raised in gcc
bugzilla "https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101826".
Fixing above issue introduce regression in gdb.fortran/mixed-lang-stack.exp,
i.e. the test forces the language to C/C++ and print a Fortran string value.
The string value is a dynamic type with code TYPE_CODE_STRING.
Before this commit the dynamic type resolution would always convert this to
a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY of characters, which the C value printing could handle.
But now after this commit we get a TYPE_CODE_STRING, which
neither the C value printing, or the generic value printing code can
support. And so, I've added support for TYPE_CODE_STRING to the generic
value printing, all characters of strings are printed together till the
first null character.
Lastly, in gdb.opt/fortran-string.exp and gdb.fortran/string-types.exp
tests it expects type of character array in 'character (3)' format but now
after this change we get 'character*3', so tests are updated accordingly.

Most files including gdbcmd.h currently rely on it to access things
actually declared in cli/cli-cmds.h (setlist, showlist, etc). To make
things easy, replace all includes of gdbcmd.h with includes of
cli/cli-cmds.h. This might lead to some unused includes of
cli/cli-cmds.h, but it's harmless, and much faster than going through
the 170 or so files by hand.

Move some declarations related to the "quit" machinery from defs.h to
event-top.h. Most of the definitions associated to these declarations
are in event-top.c. The exceptions are `quit()` and `maybe_quit()`,
that are defined in utils.c. For consistency, move these two
definitions to event-top.c.

This commit allows pointers to be dynamic types (on the outmost
level). Similar to references, a pointer is considered a dynamic type
if its target type is a dynamic type and it is on the outmost level.
Also this commit removes the redundant code inside function
"value_check_printable" for handling of DW_AT_associated type.
The pointer resolution follows the one of references.
This change generally makes the GDB output more verbose. We are able to
print more details about a pointer's target like the dimension of an array.
In Fortran, if we have a pointer to a dynamic type
type buffer
real, dimension(:), pointer :: ptr
end type buffer
type(buffer), pointer :: buffer_ptr
allocate (buffer_ptr)
allocate (buffer_ptr%ptr (5))
which then gets allocated, we now resolve the dynamic type before
printing the pointer's type:
Before:
(gdb) ptype buffer_ptr
type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer
real(kind=4) :: alpha(:)
End Type buffer )
After:
(gdb) ptype buffer_ptr
type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer
real(kind=4) :: alpha(5)
End Type buffer )
Similarly in C++ we can dynamically resolve e.g. pointers to arrays:
int len = 3;
int arr[len];
int (*ptr)[len];
int ptr = &arr;
Once the pointer is assigned one gets:
Before:
(gdb) p ptr
$1 = (int (*)[variable length]) 0x123456
(gdb) ptype ptr
type = int (*)[variable length]
After:
(gdb) p ptr
$1 = (int (*)[3]) 0x123456
(gdb) ptype ptr
type = int (*)[3]
For more examples see the modified/added test cases.

PR29079 shows that pretty printers can be used for an incomplete
type (stub), but only when printing it directly, not if it's
part of another struct:
```
(gdb) p s
$1 = {pp m_i = 5}
(gdb) p s2
$2 = {m_s = <incomplete type>, m_l = 20}
```
The reason is simply that in common_val_print the check for stubs
is before any pretty printer is tried.
It works if the pretty printer is tried before the stub check:
```
(gdb) p s
$1 = {pp m_i = 5}
(gdb) p s2
$2 = {m_s = {pp m_i = 10}, m_l = 20}
```

I've been running the test-suite on an i686-linux laptop with 1GB of memory,
and 1 GB of swap, and noticed problems after running gdb.base/huge.exp: gdb
not being able to spawn for a large number of test-cases afterwards.
So I investigated the memory usage, on my usual x86_64-linux development
platform.
The test-case is compiled with -DCRASH_GDB=2097152, so this:
...
static int a[CRASH_GDB], b[CRASH_GDB];
...
with sizeof (int) == 4 represents two arrays of 8MB each.
Say we add a loop around the "print a" command and print space usage
statistics:
...
gdb_test "maint set per-command space on"
for {set i 0} {$i < 100} {incr i} {
gdb_test "print a"
}
...
This gets us:
...
(gdb) print a^M
$1 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 478248960 (+469356544 for this command)^M
(gdb) print a^M
$2 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 486629376 (+8380416 for this command)^M
(gdb) print a^M
$3 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 495009792 (+8380416 for this command)^M
...
(gdb) print a^M
$100 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 1308721152 (+8380416 for this command)^M
...
In other words, we start out at 8MB, and the first print costs us about 469MB,
and subsequent prints 8MB, which accumulates to 1.3 GB usage. [ On the
i686-linux laptop, the first print costs us 335MB. ]
The subsequent 8MBs are consistent with the values being saved into the value
history, but the usage for the initial print seems somewhat excessive.
There is a PR open about needing sparse representation of large arrays
(PR8819), but this memory usage points to an independent problem.
The function value_print_array_elements contains a scoped_value_mark to free
allocated values in the outer loop, but it doesn't prevent the inner loop from
allocating a lot of values.
Fix this by adding a scoped_value_mark in the inner loop, after which we have:
...
(gdb) print a^M
$1 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M
(gdb) print a^M
$2 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M
(gdb) print a^M
$3 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M
...
(gdb) print a^M
$100 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}^M
Space used: 8892416 (+0 for this command)^M
...
Note that the +0 here just means that the mallocs did not trigger an sbrk.
This is dependent on malloc (which can use either mmap or sbrk or some
pre-allocated memory) and will likely vary between different tunings, versions
and implementations, so this does not give us a reliable way detect the
problem in a minimal way.
A more reliable way of detecting the problem is:
...
void
value_free_to_mark (const struct value *mark)
{
+ size_t before = all_values.size ();
auto iter = std::find (all_values.begin (), all_values.end (), mark);
if (iter == all_values.end ())
all_values.clear ();
else
all_values.erase (iter + 1, all_values.end ());
+ size_t after = all_values.size ();
+ if (before - after >= 1024)
+ fprintf (stderr, "value_free_to_mark freed %zu items\n", before - after);
...
which without the fix tells us:
...
+print a
value_free_to_mark freed 2097152 items
$1 = {0 <repeats 2097152 times>}
...
Fix a similar problem for Fortran:
...
+print array1
value_free_to_mark freed 4194303 items
$1 = (0, <repeats 2097152 times>)
...
in fortran_array_printer_impl::process_element.
The problem also exists for Ada:
...
+print Arr
value_free_to_mark freed 2097152 items
$1 = (0 <repeats 2097152 times>)
...
but is fixed by the fix for C.
Add Fortran and Ada variants of the test-case. The *.exp files are similar
enough to the original to keep the copyright years range.
While writing the Fortran test-case, I ran into needing an additional print
setting to print the entire array in repeat form, filed as PR exp/30817.
I managed to apply the compilation loop for the Ada variant as well, but with
a cumbersome repetition style. I noticed no other test-case uses gnateD, so
perhaps there's a better way of implementing this.
The regression test included in the patch is formulated in its weakest
form, to avoid false positive FAILs, which also means that smaller regressions
may not get detected.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

This commit introduces the idea of loading only part of an array in
order to print it, what I call "limited length" arrays.
The motivation behind this work is to make it possible to print slices
of very large arrays, where very large means bigger than
`max-value-size'.
Consider this GDB session with the current GDB:
(gdb) set max-value-size 100
(gdb) p large_1d_array
value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array
value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
notice that the request to print 10 elements still fails, even though 10
elements should be less than the max-value-size. With a patched version
of GDB:
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array
$1 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...}
So now the print has succeeded. It also has loaded `max-value-size'
worth of data into value history, so the recorded value can be accessed
consistently:
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- $1
$2 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...}
(gdb) p $1
$3 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, <unavailable> <repeats 75 times>}
(gdb)
Accesses with other languages work similarly, although for Ada only
C-style [] array element/dimension accesses use history. For both Ada
and Fortran () array element/dimension accesses go straight to the
inferior, bypassing the value history just as with C pointers.

This commit splits the `set/show print elements' option into two. We
retain `set/show print elements' for controlling how many elements of an
array we print, but a new `set/show print characters' setting is added
which is used for controlling how many characters of a string are
printed.
The motivation behind this change is to allow users a finer level of
control over how data is printed, reflecting that, although strings can
be thought of as arrays of characters, users often want to treat these
two things differently.
For compatibility reasons by default the `set/show print characters'
option is set to `elements', which makes the limit for character strings
follow the setting of the `set/show print elements' option, as it used
to. Using `set print characters' with any other value makes the limit
independent from the `set/show print elements' setting, however it can
be restored to the default with the `set print characters elements'
command at any time.
A corresponding `-characters' option for the `print' command is added,
with the same semantics, i.e. one can use `elements' to make a given
`print' invocation follow the limit of elements, be it set with the
`-elements' option also given with the same invocation or taken from the
`set/show print elements' setting, for characters as well regardless of
the current setting of the `set/show print characters' option.
The GDB changes are all pretty straightforward, just changing references
to the old 'print_max' to use a new `get_print_max_chars' helper which
figures out which of the two of `print_max' and `print_max_chars' values
to use.
Likewise, the documentation is just updated to reference the new setting
where appropriate.
To make people's life easier the message shown by `show print elements'
now indicates if the setting also applies to character strings:
(gdb) set print characters elements
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on string chars or array elements to print is 200.
(gdb) set print characters unlimited
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on array elements to print is 200.
(gdb)
and the help text shows the dependency as well:
(gdb) help set print elements
Set limit on array elements to print.
"unlimited" causes there to be no limit.
This setting also applies to string chars when "print characters"
is set to "elements".
(gdb)
In the testsuite there are two minor updates, one to add `-characters'
to the list of completions now shown for the `print' command, and a bare
minimum pair of checks for the right handling of `set print characters'
and `show print characters', copied from the corresponding checks for
`set print elements' and `show print elements' respectively.

Rather than just `unlimited' allow the integer set commands (or command
options) to define arbitrary keywords for the user to use, removing
hardcoded arrangements for the `unlimited' keyword.
Remove the confusingly named `var_zinteger', `var_zuinteger' and
`var_zuinteger_unlimited' `set'/`show' command variable types redefining
them in terms of `var_uinteger', `var_integer' and `var_pinteger', which
have the range of [0;UINT_MAX], [INT_MIN;INT_MAX], and [0;INT_MAX] each.
Following existing practice `var_pinteger' allows extra negative values
to be used, however unlike `var_zuinteger_unlimited' any number of such
values can be defined rather than just `-1'.
The "p" in `var_pinteger' stands for "positive", for the lack of a more
appropriate unambiguous letter, even though 0 obviously is not positive;
"n" would be confusing as to whether it stands for "non-negative" or
"negative".
Add a new structure, `literal_def', the entries of which define extra
keywords allowed for a command and numerical values they correspond to.
Those values are not verified against the basic range supported by the
underlying variable type, allowing extra values to be allowed outside
that range, which may or may not be individually made visible to the
user. An optional value translation is possible with the structure to
follow the existing practice for some commands where user-entered 0 is
internally translated to UINT_MAX or INT_MAX. Such translation can now
be arbitrary. Literals defined by this structure are automatically used
for completion as necessary.
So for example:
const literal_def integer_unlimited_literals[] =
{
{ "unlimited", INT_MAX, 0 },
{ nullptr }
};
defines an extra `unlimited' keyword and a user-visible 0 value, both of
which get translated to INT_MAX for the setting to be used with.
Similarly:
const literal_def zuinteger_unlimited_literals[] =
{
{ "unlimited", -1, -1 },
{ nullptr }
};
defines the same keyword and a corresponding user-visible -1 value that
is used for the requested setting. If the last member were omitted (or
set to `{}') here, then only the keyword would be allowed for the user
to enter and while -1 would still be used internally trying to enter it
as a part of a command would result in an "integer -1 out of range"
error.
Use said error message in all cases (citing the invalid value requested)
replacing "only -1 is allowed to set as unlimited" previously used for
`var_zuinteger_unlimited' settings only rather than propagating it to
`var_pinteger' type. It could only be used for the specific case where
a single extra `unlimited' keyword was defined standing for -1 and the
use of numeric equivalents is discouraged anyway as it is for historical
reasons only that they expose GDB internals, confusingly different
across variable types. Similarly update the "must be >= -1" Guile error
message.
Redefine Guile and Python parameter types in terms of the new variable
types and interpret extra keywords as Scheme keywords and Python strings
used to communicate corresponding parameter values. Do not add a new
PARAM_INTEGER Guile parameter type, however do handle the `var_integer'
variable type now, permitting existing parameters defined by GDB proper,
such as `listsize', to be accessed from Scheme code.
With these changes in place it should be trivial for a Scheme or Python
programmer to expand the syntax of the `make-parameter' command and the
`gdb.Parameter' class initializer to have arbitrary extra literals along
with their internal representation supplied.
Update the testsuite accordingly.

PR c++/29243 points out that "info func" on a certain C++ executable
will cause an infinite loop in gdb.
I tracked this down to a bug introduced by commit 6b5a7bc76 ("Handle
member pointers directly in generic_value_print"). Before this
commit, the C++ code to print a member pointer would wind up calling
value_print_scalar_formatted; but afterward it simply calls
generic_value_print and gets into a loop.
This patch restores the previous behavior and adds a regression test.

A user noticed that gdb would crash when printing a packed array after
doing "set lang c". Packed arrays don't exist in C, but it's
occasionally useful to print things in C mode when working in a non-C
language -- this lets you see under the hood a little bit.
The bug here is that generic value printing does not handle packed
arrays at all. This patch fixes the bug by introducing a new function
to extract a value from a bit offset and width.
The new function includes a hack to avoid problems with some existing
test cases when using -fgnat-encodings=all. Cleaning up this code
looked difficult, and since "all" is effectively deprecated, I thought
it made sense to simply work around the problems.

Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__
explicitly, like:
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var);
The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably
because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros
availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we
already use them in several places, including the related
gdb_assert_not_reached.
So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else,
and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands
__FILE__/__LINE__ itself.
The result is that we now should call internal_error like so:
internal_error ("foo %d", var);
Likewise for internal_warning.
The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done
with a perl/sed script.
The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h,
gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.

print_wchar keeps track of when escape sequences are emitted, to force
an escape sequence if needed by a subsequent character. For example
for the string concatenation "\0" "1", gdb will print "\000\061" --
because printing "\0001" might be confusing.
However, this code has two errors. First, this logic is not needed
for octal escapes, because there is a length limit of 3 for octal
escapes, and gdb always prints these with "%.3o". Second, though,
this *is* needed for hex escapes, because those do not have a length
limit.
This patch fixes these problems and adds the appropriate tests.

print_wchar uses wchar_printable, but this isn't needed -- all the
relevant cases are already handled by the 'switch'. This changes the
code to use gdb_iswprint, and removes a somewhat confusing comment
related to this code.
|
|
This changes 'need_escape' in generic_emit_char to be of type bool,
rather than int.
|
|
generic_printstr prints an empty string like:
fputs_filtered ("\"\"", stream);
However, this seems wrong to me if the quote character is something
other than double quote. This patch fixes this latent bug. Thanks to
Andrew for the test case.

When debugging cc1 I heavily rely on simple one-parameter debug functions
that allow me to inspect a variable of a common type, like:
- debug_generic_expr
- debug_gimple_stmt
- debug_rtx
and I miss similar functions in gdb.
Add functions to dump variables of types 'value' and 'expression':
- debug_exp, and
- debug_val.
Tested on x86_64-linux, by breaking on varobj_create, and doing:
...
(gdb) call debug_exp (var->root->exp.get ())
&"Operation: OP_VAR_VALUE\n"
&" Block symbol:\n"
&" Symbol: aaa\n"
&" Block: 0x2d064f0\n"
(gdb)
...
and:
...
(gdb) call debug_val (value)
&"5"
(gdb)
...

'finish_print' does not really belong in value_print_options -- this
is consulted only when deciding whether or not to print a value, and
never during the course of printing. This patch removes it from the
structure and makes it a static global in infcmd.c instead.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.

Make an introduction of a new print setting that can be set by 'set
print nibbles [on|off]'. The default value if OFF, which can be changed
by user manually. Of course, 'show print nibbles' is also included in
the patch.
The new feature displays binary values by group, with four bits per
group. The motivation for this work is to enhance the readability of
binary values.
Here's a GDB session before this patch is applied.
(gdb) print var_a
$1 = 1230
(gdb) print/t var_a
$2 = 10011001110
With this patch applied, we can use the new print setting to display the
new form of the binary values.
(gdb) print var_a
$1 = 1230
(gdb) print/t var_a
$2 = 10011001110
(gdb) set print nibbles on
(gdb) print/t var_a
$3 = 0100 1100 1110
Tested on x86_64 openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This moves the two overloads of target_read_string to a new file,
target/target.c, and updates both gdb and gdbserver to build this.
|
|
target_read_string takes a byte order parameter, but only uses this to
check whether a given character is zero. This is readily done without
requiring the parameter, so remove it.
|
|
This renames read_string to be an overload of target_read_string.
This makes it more consistent for the eventual merger with gdbserver.
|
|
read_string does not need to call QUIT, because target_read_memory
already does. This change is needed to make string-reading usable by
gdbserver.
|
|
print_spaces_filtered is now misnamed, because whether filtering
happens is up to the stream. So, rename it.
|
|
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.
|
|
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the putc family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_putc". Most of this patch was written by script.
