Using follow-exec-mode "new" takes a different code path than "same", so
it's interesting to test this path in combination with a change in
architecture of the inferior. This test fails if you remove the
previous patch.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: Test with different
"follow-exec-mode" settings.
(do_test): New procedure.
|
|
As mentioned in the previous patch, we should avoid doing register reads
after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's
gdbarch. Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong
architecture. When a process does an exec with "follow-exec-mode new",
a new inferior is added by follow_exec. The gdbarch of that new
inferior is at first set to some default value, probably specific to the
gdb build (I get "i386" here), which may not be the right one. It is
updated later by the call to target_find_description. Before that
point, if we try to read the inferior's registers, we may not interpret
them correctly. This has been exposed by a failure in
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp after the previous patch, with:
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 312 bytes, got 816 bytes)
The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is
problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid
is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to
update stop_pc). The registers returned by gdbserver are the x86-64
ones, while we try to interpret them using the "i386" gdbarch.
Postponing the call to add_thread to until the target
description/gdbarch has been updated seems to fix the issue.
As to why this issue was uncovered by the previous patch: what I think
happened before that patch is that since we were updating stop_pc before
switching to the new inferior, we were filling the regcache associated
to the ptid (this worked fine as long as the architectures of the
previous and new process images were the same). The call to
switch_to_thread then worked, because the register read hit the
regcache. Now, it triggers a register read, while the gdbarch is not
set correctly, leading to the "reply is too long" error. If this is
right, it sounds wrong that we delete and re-add a thread with the same
ptid, and are able to access the registers from the deleted thread.
When we delete a thread, should we clear the regcache associated to that
ptid, so that the new thread starts with a fresh/empty regcache?
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (follow_exec): Call add_thread after
target_find_description.
|

When an inferior execs and changes architecture (e.g. 64 bits to 32
bits), the gdbarch associated to the inferior is updated by the
follow_exec call in handle_inferior_event_1. We should avoid doing any
register read before that point, because the registers sent by the
remote side will be those of the new architecture, but we would
interpret them using the old architecture. We do just that by setting
stop_pc during this window, which obviously requires reading the
registers. This results in gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp failing, GDB
outputting the following error:
Truncated register 50 in remote 'g' packet
This patch fixes that by postponing the setting of stop_pc to after
we've updated the inferior gdbarch.
This bug was hiding another problem, and as such introduces some
failures in gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp. The following patch takes care
of that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): When exec'ing, read
stop_pc after follow_exec.

... by adding the expected size, and the received size. I found this
useful when debugging gdbarch/remote issues, since it gives a hint of
what gdb expects and what the remote sent.

While working on the no-debug-info debugging improvements, I found
evaluate_subexp_standard's function call code unnecessarily long and
hard to navigate and debug. The use of goto doesn't help either.
This commit tries to improve things by factoring out the

GDBserver still uses pre-generated target descriptions in order to
reply to GDB's query on target description (see xml-builtin-generated.c
in GDBserver build directory). This patch teaches GDBserver to
create XML contents according to the target descriptions rather than
using pre-generated ones.
First, change target feature c files to pass the feature xml file
name to tdesc_create_feature, so that target description in GDBserver
can record them, and create XML contents from these features in
buffer, like
...
<xi:include href="$FEATURE1_XML_NAME"/>
<xi:include href="$FEATURE2_XML_NAME"/>
...
and send this buffer back to GDB.
Note that this patch reuses target_desc.xmltarget a little bit, which is
to hold the XML contents dynamically generated in tdesc_get_features_xml.
However, it is not xfree'ed in ~target_desc, because we can't tell it is
from xstrdup or a literal string. Since we don't delete target_desc,
there is no memory leak yet. After we change all target descriptions to
the new style, target_desc.xmltarget is from xstrdup, then, we can safely
xfree it in ~target_desc.

Nowadays, target_desc.reg_defs is a pointer points to a pre-generated
array, which is not flexible. This patch changes it from an array
to a VEC so that GDBserver can create target descriptions dynamically
later. Instead of using pre-generated array, the -generated.c calls
VEC_safe_push to add each register to vector.
Since target_desc.reg_defs is used in IPA, we need to build common/vec.c
for IPA too.

regformats/regdat.sh generate some *-generated.c files when GDBserver
is built. Each .c file has some static variables, which are only used
within function init_registers_XXX, like this,
static struct reg regs_i386_linux[] = {
{ "eax", 0, 32 },
{ "ecx", 32, 32 },
...
};
static const char *expedite_regs_i386_linux[] = { "ebp", "esp", "eip", 0 };
static const char *xmltarget_i386_linux = "i386-linux.xml";
void
init_registers_i386_linux (void)
{
...
}
This patch moves these static variables' definitions to function
init_registers_XXX, so the generated files look like this,
void

We want GDBserver create target descriptions dynamically in each

into function init_registers_XXXX, so that the following patch can easily
change function init_registers_XXXX to create target description
dynamically, rather than using current pre-generated array.

Previously this used the error function from GDB directly when linked
against GDB instead of the error method in the host callbacks
structure. This was exposed via a link error when GDB was converted
to C++. The error function invokes the error callback similar to
sim_io_error.
Note that there are also error functions in sim/ppc/main.c and
sim/ppc/misc.c. The ppc libsim.a expects each consumer to provide
several symbols used by the library including "error". sim-calls.c
provides these symbols when the library is linked into gdb. The dgen,
igen, tmp-filter, tmp-ld-decode, tmp-ld-cache, and tmp-ld-insn programs
use the functions from misc.c. psim uses the functions from main.c.

Trying to print a function local static variable of a const-qualified
method still doesn't work after the previous fixes:
(gdb) p 'S::method() const'::static_var
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) p S::method() const::static_var
No symbol "static_var" in specified context.
The reason is that the expression parser/evaluator loses the "const",
and the above unquoted case is just like trying to print a variable of
the non-const overload, if it exists, even. As if the above unquoted
case had been written as:
(gdb) p S::method()::static_var
No symbol "static_var" in specified context.
We can see the problem without static vars in the picture. With:
struct S
{
void method ();
void method () const;
};
Compare:
(gdb) print 'S::method(void) const'
$1 = {void (const S * const)} 0x400606 <S::method() const>
(gdb) print S::method(void) const
$2 = {void (S * const)} 0x4005d8 <S::method()> # wrong method!
That's what we need to fix. If we fix that, the function local static
case starts working.
The grammar production for function/method types is this one:
exp: exp '(' parameter_typelist ')' const_or_volatile
This results in a TYPE_INSTANCE expression evaluator operator. For
the example above, we get something like this ("set debug expression 1"):
...
0 TYPE_INSTANCE 1 TypeInstance: Type @0x560fda958be0 (void)
5 OP_SCOPE Type @0x560fdaa544d8 (S) Field name: `method'
...
While evaluating TYPE_INSTANCE, we end up in
value_struct_elt_for_reference, trying to find the method named
"method" that has the prototype recorded in TYPE_INSTANCE. In this
case, TYPE_INSTANCE says that we're looking for a method that has
"(void)" as parameters (that's what "1 TypeInstance: Type
@0x560fda958be0 (void)" above means. The trouble is that nowhere in
this mechanism do we communicate to value_struct_elt_for_reference
that we're looking for the _const_ overload.
value_struct_elt_for_reference only compared parameters, and the
non-const "method()" overload has matching parameters, so it's
considered the right match...
Conveniently, the "const_or_volatile" production in the grammar
already records "const" and "volatile" info in the type stack. The
type stack is not used in this code path, but we can borrow the
information. The patch converts the info in the type stack to an
"instance flags" enum, and adds that as another element in
TYPE_INSTANCE operators. This type instance flags is then applied to
the temporary type that is passed to value_struct_elt_for_reference
for matching.
The other side of the problem is that methods in the debug info aren't
marked const/volatile, so with that in place, the matching never finds
const/volatile-qualified methods.
The problem is that in the DWARF, there's no indication at all whether
a method is const/volatile qualified... For example (c++filt applied
to the linkage name for convenience):
<2><d3>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<d4> DW_AT_external : 1
<d4> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x3df): method
<d8> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<d9> DW_AT_decl_line : 58
<da> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x5b2): S::method() const
<de> DW_AT_declaration : 1
<de> DW_AT_object_pointer: <0xe6>
<e2> DW_AT_sibling : <0xec>
I see the same with both GCC and Clang. The patch works around this
by extracting the cv qualification from the "const" and "volatile" in
the demangled name. This will need further tweaking for "&" and
"const &" overloads, but we don't support them in the parser yet,
anyway.
The TYPE_CONST changes were necessary otherwise the comparisons in valops.c:
if (TYPE_CONST (intype) != TYPE_FN_FIELD_CONST (f, j))
continue;
would fail, because when both TYPE_CONST() TYPE_FN_FIELD_CONST() were
true, their values were different.
BTW, I'm recording the const/volatile-ness of methods in the
TYPE_FN_FIELD info because #1 - I'm not sure it's kosher to change the
method's type directly (vs having to call make_cv_type to create a new
type), and #2 it's what stabsread.c does:
...
case 'A': /* Normal functions. */
new_sublist->fn_field.is_const = 0;
new_sublist->fn_field.is_volatile = 0;
(*pp)++;
break;
case 'B': /* `const' member functions. */
new_sublist->fn_field.is_const = 1;
new_sublist->fn_field.is_volatile = 0;
...
After all this, this finally all works:
print S::method(void) const
$1 = {void (const S * const)} 0x400606 <S::method() const>
(gdb) p S::method() const::static_var
$2 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}

While the previous commit made "p method()::static_var" (no
single-quotes) Just Work, if users (or frontends) try wrapping the
expression with quotes, they'll get:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
'S::method()::static_var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
even if we _do_ have debug info for that variable. That's better than
the bogus/confusing value what GDB would print before the
stop-assuming-int patch:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = 1
but I think it'd still be nice to make this case Just Work too.
In this case, due to the quoting, the C/C++ parser (c-exp.y)
interprets the whole expression/string as a single symbol name, and we
end up calling lookup_symbol on that name. There's no debug symbol
with that fully-qualified name, but since the compiler gives the
static variable a mangled linkage name exactly like the above, it
appears in the mininal symbols:
$ nm -A local-static | c++filt | grep static_var
local-static:0000000000601040 d S::method()::static_var
... and that's what GDB happens to find/print. This only happens in
C++, note, since for C the compiler uses different linkage names:
local-static-c:0000000000601040 d static_var.1848
So while (in C++, not C) function local static variables are given a
mangled name that demangles to the same syntax that GDB
documents/expects as the way to access function local statics, there's
no global symbol in the debug info with that name at all. The debug
info for a static local variable for a non-inline function looks like
this:
<1><2a1>: Abbrev Number: 19 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
...
<2><2f7>: Abbrev Number: 20 (DW_TAG_variable)
<2f8> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x4e9): static_var
<2fc> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<2fd> DW_AT_decl_line : 64
<2fe> DW_AT_type : <0x25>
<302> DW_AT_location : 9 byte block: 3 40 10 60 0 0 0 0 0 (DW_OP_addr: 601040)
and for an inline function, it looks like this (linkage name run
through c++filt for convenience):
<2><21b>: Abbrev Number: 16 (DW_TAG_variable)
<21c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x21a): static_var
<220> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<221> DW_AT_decl_line : 48
<222> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x200): S::inline_method()::static_var
<226> DW_AT_type : <0x25>
<22a> DW_AT_external : 1
<22a> DW_AT_location : 9 byte block: 3 a0 10 60 0 0 0 0 0 (DW_OP_addr: 6010a0)
(The inline case makes the variable external so that the linker can
merge the different inlined copies. It seems like GCC never outputs
the linkage name for non-extern globals.)
When we read the DWARF, we record the static_var variable as a regular
variable of the containing function's block. This makes stopping in
the function and printing the variable as usual. The variable just so
happens to have a memory address as location.
So one way to make "p 'S::method()::static_var'" work would be to
record _two_ copies of the symbols for these variables. One in the
function's scope/block, with "static_var" as name, as we currently do,
and another in the static or global blocks (depending on whether the
symbol is external), with a fully-qualified name. I wrote a prototype
patch for that, and it works. For the non-inline case above, since
the debug info doesn't point to the linkage same, that patch built the
physname of the static local variable as the concat of the physname of
the containing function, plus "::", plus the variable's name. We
could make that approach work for C too, though it kind of feels
awkward to record fake symbol names like that in C.
The other approach I tried is to change the C++ symbol lookup routines
instead. This is the approach this commit takes. We can already
lookup up symbol in namespaces and classes, so this feels like a good
fit, and was easy enough. The advantage is that this doesn't require
recording extra symbols.
The test in gdb.cp/m-static.exp that exposed the need for this is
removed, since the same functionality is now covered by
gdb.cp/local-static.exp.

This commit makes "print S::method()::static_var" actually find the
debug symbol for static_var. Currently, you get:
(gdb) print S::method()::static_var
A syntax error in expression, near `'.
Quoting the whole string would seemingly work before the previous
patch that made GDB stop assuming int for no-debug-info variables:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = 1
... except that's incorrect output, because:
(gdb) ptype 'S::method()::static_var'
type = <data variable, no debug info>
The way to make it work correctly currently is by quoting the
function/method part, like this:
(gdb) print 'S::method()'::static_var
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) ptype 'S::method()'::static_var
type = struct aggregate {
int i1;
int i2;
int i3;
}
At least after the "stop assuming int" patch, this is what we
now get:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
'S::method()::static_var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p (struct aggregate) 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
However, IMO, users shouldn't really have to care about any of this.
GDB should Just Work, without quoting, IMO.
So here's a patch that implements support for that in the C++ parser.
With this patch, you now get:
(gdb) p S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) ptype S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
type = struct aggregate {
int i1;
int i2;
int i3;
}

An earlier commit made GDB no longer assume no-debug-info functions
return int. This commit gives the same treatment to variables.
Currently, you can end misled by GDB over output like this:
(gdb) p var
$1 = -1
(gdb) p /x var
$2 = 0xffffffff
until you realize that GDB is assuming that the variable is an "int",
because:
(gdb) ptype var
type = <data variable, no debug info>
You may try to fix it by casting, but that doesn't really help:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
^^
That's incorrect output, because the variable was defined like this:
uint64_t var = 0x7fffffffffffffff;
^^
What happened is that with the cast, GDB did an int -> 'unsigned long
long' conversion instead of reinterpreting the variable as the cast-to
type. To get at the variable properly you have to reinterpret the
variable's address manually instead, with either:
(gdb) p /x *(unsigned long long *) &var
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
(gdb) p /x {unsigned long long} &var
$5 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
After this commit GDB does it for you. This is what you'll get
instead:
(gdb) p var
'var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$1 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
As in the functions patch, the "compile" machinery doesn't currently
have the cast-to type handy, so it continues assuming no-debug
variables have int type, though now at least it warns.
The change to gdb.cp/m-static.exp deserves an explanation:
- gdb_test "print 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
+ gdb_test "print (int) 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
That's printing the "sintvar" function local static of the
"gnu_obj_1::method()" method.
The problem with that test is that that "'S::method()::static_var'"
syntax doesn't really work in C++ as you'd expect. The way to make it
work correctly currently is to quote the method part, not the whole
expression, like:
(gdb) print 'gnu_obj_1::method()'::sintvar
If you wrap the whole expression in quotes, like in m-static.exp, what
really happens is that the parser considers the whole string as a
symbol name, but there's no debug symbol with that name. However,
local statics have linkage and are given a mangled name that demangles
to the same string as the full expression, so that's what GDB prints.
After this commit, and without the cast, the print in m-static.exp
would error out saying that the variable has unknown type:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
TBC, if currently (even before this series) you try to print any
function local static variable of type other than int, you'll get
bogus results. You can see that with m-static.cc as is, even.
Printing the "svar" local, which is a boolean (1 byte) still prints as
"int" (4 bytes):
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
$1 = 1
(gdb) ptype 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
type = <data variable, no debug info>
This probably prints some random bogus value on big endian machines.
If 'svar' was of some aggregate type (etc.) we'd still print it as
int, so the problem would have been more obvious... After this
commit, you'll get instead:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
... so at least GDB is no longer misleading. Making GDB find the real
local static debug symbol is the subject of the following patches. In
the end, it'll all "Just Work".

The patch to make GDB stop assuming functions return int left GDB with
an inconsistency. While with normal expression evaluation the
"unknown return type" error shows the name of the function that misses
debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which is handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
This commit builds on the new OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE to fix it, by making
OP_FUNCALL extract the function name from the symbol stored in
OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE. We now get the same error in "print"
vs "ptype":
(gdb) ptype getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type

The previous patch left GDB with an inconsistency. While with normal
expression evaluation the "unknown return type" error shows the name
of the function that misses debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
This commit is a step toward fixing it.
The problem is that while evaluating the expression above, we have no
reference to the minimal symbol where we could extract the name from.
This is because the resulting expression tree has no reference to the
minsym at all. During parsing, the type and address of the minsym are
extracted and an UNOP_MEMVAL / UNOP_MEMVAL_TLS operator is generated
(see write_exp_elt_msym). With "set debug expression", here's what
you see:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 UNOP_MEMVAL Type @0x565334a51930 (<text variable, no debug info>)
6 OP_LONG Type @0x565334a51c60 (__CORE_ADDR), value 140737345035648 (0x7ffff7751d80)
The "print" case finds the function name, because
call_function_by_hand looks up the function by address again.
However, for "ptype", we don't reach that code, because obviously we
don't really call the function.
Unlike minsym references, references to variables with debug info have
a pointer to the variable's symbol in the expression tree, with
OP_VAR_VALUE:
(gdb) ptype main()
...
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x0, symbol @0x559bbbd9b358 (main(int, char**))
...
so I don't see why do minsyms need to be different. So to prepare for
fixing the missing function name issue, this commit adds a new
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE operator that mimics OP_VAR_VALUE, except that it's
for minsyms instead of debug symbols. For infcalls, we now get
expressions like these:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE Objfile @0x1e41bf0, msymbol @0x7fffe599b000 (getenv)
In the following patch, we'll make OP_FUNCALL extract the function
name from the symbol stored in OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE.
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE will be used more in a later patch in the series
too.

The fact that GDB defaults to assuming that functions return int, when
it has no debug info for the function has been a recurring source of
user confusion. Recently this came up on the errno pretty printer
discussions. Shortly after, it came up again on IRC, with someone
wondering why does getenv() in GDB return a negative int:
(gdb) p getenv("PATH")
$1 = -6185
This question (with s/getenv/random-other-C-runtime-function) is a FAQ
on IRC.
The reason for the above is:
(gdb) p getenv
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x7ffff7751d80 <getenv>
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = int ()
... which means that GDB truncated the 64-bit pointer that is actually
returned from getent to 32-bit, and then sign-extended it:
(gdb) p /x -6185
$6 = 0xffffe7d7
The workaround is to cast the function to the right type, like:
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH")
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
IMO, we should do better than this.
I see the "assume-int" issue the same way I see printing bogus values
for optimized-out variables instead of "<optimized out>" -- I'd much
rather that the debugger tells me "I don't know" and tells me how to
fix it than showing me bogus misleading results, making me go around
tilting at windmills.
If GDB prints a signed integer when you're expecting a pointer or
aggregate, you at least have some sense that something is off, but
consider the case of the function actually returning a 64-bit integer.
For example, compile this without debug info:
unsigned long long
function ()
{
return 0x7fffffffffffffff;
}
Currently, with pristine GDB, you get:
(gdb) p function ()
$1 = -1 # incorrect
(gdb) p /x function ()
$2 = 0xffffffff # incorrect
maybe after spending a few hours debugging you suspect something is
wrong with that -1, and do:
(gdb) ptype function
type = int ()
and maybe, just maybe, you realize that the function actually returns
unsigned long long. And you try to fix it with:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
... which still produces the wrong result, because GDB simply applied
int to unsigned long long conversion. Meaning, it sign-extended the
integer that it extracted from the return of the function, to 64-bits.
and then maybe, after asking around on IRC, you realize you have to
cast the function to a pointer of the right type, and call that. It
won't be easy, but after a few missteps, you'll get to it:
..... (gdb) p /x ((unsigned long long(*) ()) function) ()
$666 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # finally! :-)
So to improve on the user experience, this patch does the following
(interrelated) things:
- makes no-debug-info functions no longer default to "int" as return
type. Instead, they're left with NULL/"<unknown return type>"
return type.
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = <unknown return type> ()
- makes calling a function with unknown return type an error.
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
- and then to make it easier to call the function, makes it possible
to _only_ cast the return of the function to the right type,
instead of having to cast the function to a function pointer:
(gdb) p (char *) getenv ("PATH") # now Just Works
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH") # continues working
$4 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
I.e., it makes GDB default the function's return type to the type
of the cast, and the function's parameters to the type of the
arguments passed down.
After this patch, here's what you'll get for the "unsigned long long"
example above:
(gdb) p function ()
'function' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # correct!
Note that while with "print" GDB shows the name of the function that
has the problem:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This will be fixed in the next patch.

Calling a prototyped function via a function pointer with the right
prototype doesn't work correctly, if the called function requires
argument coercion... Like, e.g., with:
float mult (float f1, float f2) { return f1 * f2; }
(gdb) p mult (2, 3.5)
$1 = 7
(gdb) p ((float (*) (float, float)) mult) (2, 3.5)
$2 = 0
both calls should have returned the same, of course. The problem is
that GDB misses marking the type of the function pointer target as
prototyped...
Without the fix, the new test fails like this:
(gdb) p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)
$30 = 0
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/callfuncs.exp: p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)

For some reason I ended up staring at some of the "int flags" in
btrace-related code, and I got confused because I had no clue what the
flags where supposed to indicate.
Fix that by using enum_flags, so that:
#1 - it's clear from the type what the flags are about, and
#2 - the compiler can catch mismatching mistakes
