"catch catch/throw/rethrow", breakpoint -> catchpoint
Currently, with: (gdb) catch catch Catchpoint 1 (catch) (gdb) catch throw Catchpoint 2 (throw) (gdb) catch rethrow Catchpoint 3 (rethrow) You get: (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000b122af exception catch 2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000b1288d exception throw 3 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000b12931 exception rethrow I think it doesn't make much sense usability-wise, to show a catchpoint as a breakpoint. The fact that GDB sets a breakpoint at some magic address in the C++ run time is an implementation detail, IMO. And as seen in the previous patch, such a catchpoint can end up with more than one location/address even, so showing a single address isn't entirely accurate. This commit hides the addresses from view, and makes GDB show "catchpoint" for type as well: (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 catchpoint keep y exception catch 2 catchpoint keep y exception throw 3 catchpoint keep y exception rethrow This comment in the code seems telling: /* We need to reset 'type' in order for code in breakpoint.c to do the right thing. */ cp->type = bp_breakpoint; It kind of suggests that the reason catchpoints end up shown as breakpoints was that it was easier to implement them that way, rather than a desired property. This commit fixes things up to make it possible to have bp_catch breakpoints have software/hardware breakpoint locations, thus eliminating the need for that hack: - redo breakpoint_address_is_meaningful in terms of the location's type rather than breakpoint type. - teach bpstat_what about stepping over the catchpoint locations. - install a allocate_location method for "catch catch/throw/rethrow", one that forces the location type. Note that this also reverts the gdb hunk from: commit 2a8be20359dba9cc684fd3ffa222d985399f3b18 Commit: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> CommitDate: Sat Oct 6 22:17:45 2018 -0600 Fix Python gdb.Breakpoint.location crash because now "catch throw" catchpoints hit the if (obj->bp->type != bp_breakpoint) Py_RETURN_NONE; check above, and, adjusts the testcase to no longer expect to see the catchpoint in the gdb.breakpoints() list. (Note: might make sense to do the same to Ada exception catchpoints.) gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-07-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * break-catch-throw.c (print_one_exception_catchpoint): Skip the "addr" field. (allocate_location_exception_catchpoint): New. (handle_gnu_v3_exceptions): Don't reset 'type' to bp_breakpoint. (initialize_throw_catchpoint_ops): Install allocate_location_exception_catchpoint as allocate_location method. * breakpoint.c (bpstat_what) <bp_catch>: Set action to BPSTAT_WHAT_SINGLE if not stopping and the location's type is not bp_loc_other. (breakpoint_address_is_meaningful): Delete. (bl_address_is_meaningful): New. (breakpoint_locations_match): Adjust comment. (bp_location_from_bp_type): New, factored out of... (bp_location::bp_location(breakpoint *)): ... this. (bp_location::bp_location(breakpoint *, bp_loc_type)): New, factored out of... (bp_location::bp_location(breakpoint *)): ... this. Reimplement. (bp_loc_is_permanent): Use bl_address_is_meaningful instead of breakpoint_address_is_meaningful. (bp_locations_compare): Adjust comment. (update_global_location_list): Use bl_address_is_meaningful instead of breakpoint_address_is_meaningful. * breakpoint.h (bp_location::bp_location(breakpoint *)): New explicit. (bp_location::bp_location(breakpoint *, bp_loc_type)): Declare. * python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_get_location): No longer check whether location is null. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2019-07-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (C++ Exception GDB/MI Catchpoint Commands): Adjust examples to show type=catchpoint instead of type=breakpoint and an address. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-07-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.cp/catch-multi-stdlib.exp: Adjust expected "info breakpoints" output. * gdb.cp/exception.exp: Adjust expected "info breakpoints" output. * gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp: No longer expect that "catch throw" creates breakpoint. * gdb.mi/mi-catch-cpp-exceptions.exp (setup_catchpoint): Expect 'type="catchpoint"'.
