Ref.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1765117
A segfault can happen in a specific scenario when using TUI + a
corefile, as explained in the bug mentioned above. The problem
happens when opening a corefile on GDB:
$ gdb ./core program
entering TUI (C-x a), and then issuing a "run" command. GDB segfaults
with the following stack trace:

The problem happens because 'tui_locator_window::make_status_line'
needs the value of 'target_shortname' in order to update the status
line. 'target_shortname' is a macro which expands to:
#define target_shortname (current_top_target ()->shortname ())
and, in our scenario, 'current_top_target ()' returns NULL, which
obviously causes a segfault. But why does it return NULL, since,
according to its comment on target.h, it should never do that?
What is happening is that we're being caught in the middle of a
"target switch". We had the 'core_target' on top, because we were
inspecting a corefile, but when the user decided to invoke "run" GDB
had to actually create the inferior, which ends up detecting that we
have a target already, and tries to close it (from target.c):
/* See target.h. */
void
target_stack::push (target_ops *t)
{
/* If there's already a target at this stratum, remove it. */
strata stratum = t->stratum ();
if (m_stack[stratum] != NULL)
{
target_ops *prev = m_stack[stratum];
m_stack[stratum] = NULL;
target_close (prev); // <-- here
}
...
When the current target ('core_target') is being closed, it checks for
possible observers registered with it and calls them. TUI is one of
those observers, it gets called, tries to update the status line, and
GDB crashes.
The real problem is that we are clearing 'm_stack[stratum]', but
forgetting to adjust 'm_top'. Interestingly, this scenario is covered
in 'target_stack::unpush', but Pedro said he forgot to call it here..
The fix, therefore, is to call '::unpush' if there's a target on the
stack.
This patch has been tested on the Buildbot and no regressions have
been found. I'm also submitting a testcase for it.

Most of the leaks in python tests are due to the fact that many
PyObject xxxxx_dealloc functions are missing the line to free self
or obj such as:
Py_TYPE (self)->tp_free (self);
or
Py_TYPE (obj)->tp_free (obj);
With this patch, the number of python tests leaking decreases from 52 to 12.

As reported by PhilippeW, valgrind reports that symtab is uninitialized
when compiling with GCC 4.8.5, which is the default compiler on CentOS 7.
This is apparently a compiler bug fixed in later versions, but to keep
CentOS 7 working, this patch initializes the union explicitly instead of
using a class initializer.

2019-11-18 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com>
* symtab.h (struct symbol) <owner>: Initialize explicitly in the
constructor instead of using a class initializer.

There is no need to keep mingw-strerror around; we can just always use
the code from posix-strerror. The main reason we had that code, it
seems, is to handle winsock error codes, but gnulib's version
handles those.
Unfortunately the code can't be moved into common-utils.c because
libinproctrace.so uses common-utils but not gnulib.

A customer reported somewhat odd gdb behavior, where re-assigning an
array or string to a convenience variable would yield "Too many array
elements". A test case is:
(gdb) p $x = "x"
(gdb) p $x = "xyz"
This patch fixes the problem by making a special case in the evaluator
for assignment to convenience variables, which seems like the correct
behavior.
Note that a previous patch implemented this for Ada, see commit
f411722cb ("Allow re-assigning to convenience variables").

The leak is due to a superfluous Py_INCREF when the python object
is allocated inside gdbpy_breakpoint_created, when the python object
is allocated locally: this object has already a refcount of 1, and
the only reference is the reference from the C breakpoint object.
The Py_INCREF is however needed when the python object was created from
python: the python object was stored in bppy_pending_object, and
gdbpy_breakpoint_created creates a new reference to this object.
Solve the leak by calling 'Py_INCREF (newbp);' only in the bppy_pending_object
case.
Regression tested on debian/amd64 natively and under valgrind on centos/amd64.
Before the patch, 795 tests have a definite leak.
After the patch, 197 have a definite leak.
Thanks to Tom, that helped on irc with the python refcount logic.

commit 3573abe1d added static asserts to ensure that symbol sizes
don't vary. However, this failed to build on Windows, on at least one
ARM platform (see PR build/25182) and internally at AdaCore for PPC.
So, I think it is probably best to just remove these assertions,
effectively reverting 3573abe1d.

The gdb format mechanism doesn't currently support the 'z' size
modifier, there are a few places in GDB where this is used. Instead
of removing these uses lets just add support to GDB for using 'z'.
I found this issue when trying to use some of the debug output.
Before this commit:
(gdb) set debug dwarf-line 9
(gdb) file test
Reading symbols from test...
Unrecognized format specifier 'z' in printf
(No debugging symbols found in test)

After this commit:

As Sergio pointed out, the TUI resizing tests are flaky. Debugging
this showed three main problems.
1. expect's "stty" command processes its arguments one-by-one. So,
rather than requesting a single resize, it sends two separate resize
requests (one for rows and one for columns). This means gdb sees two
SIGWINCH signals and resizes the terminal twice.
I consider this a bug in expect, but I couldn't readily see how to
report a bug; and anyway the fix wouldn't propagate very quickly.
This patch works around this problem by explicitly doing two separate
resizes (so it will be robust if expect ever does change); and then by
waiting for each resize to complete before continuing.
2. gdb uses curses to drive the console rendering. Currently the test
suite looks for terminal text insertion sequences to decide when a
command has completed. However, it turns out that, sometimes, curses
can output things in non-obvious ways. I didn't debug into curses but
I guess this can happen due to output optimizations. No matter the
reason, sometimes the current approach of only tracking text
insertions is not enough to detect that gdb has finished rendering.
This patch fixes this problem by arranging to detect the termination
output after any curses command, not just insertion.
3. Detecting when a resize has completed is tricky. In fact, I could
not find a way to reliably do this.
This patch fixes this problem by adding a special maint
"tui-resize-message" setting to gdb. When this is enabled, gdb will
print a message after each SIGWINCH has been fully processed. The
test suite enables this mode and then waits for the message in order
to know when control can be returned to the calling test.
This patch also adds a timeout, to avoid the situation where the
terminal code fails to notice a change for some reason. This lets the
test at least try to continue.

This adds readline-bindable function names to a few gdb functions that

If gdb.lookup_static_symbol is going to return a single symbol then it
makes sense (I think) for it to return a context sensitive choice of
symbol, that is the global static symbol that would be visible to the
program at that point.
However, if the user of the python API wants to instead get a
consistent set of global static symbols, no matter where they stop,
then they have to instead consider all global static symbols with a
given name - there could be many. That is what this new API function
offers, it returns a list (possibly empty) of all global static
symbols matching a given name (and optionally a given symbol domain).

When using gdb.lookup_static_symbol I think that GDB should find
static symbols (global symbol with static linkage) from the current
object file ahead of static symbols from other object files.
This means that if we have two source files f1.c and f2.c, and both
files contains 'static int foo;', then when we are stopped in f1.c a
call to 'gdb.lookup_static_symbol ("foo")' will find f1.c::foo, and if
we are stopped in f2.c we would find 'f2.c::foo'.
Given that gdb.lookup_static_symbol always returns a single symbol,
but there can be multiple static symbols with the same name GDB is
always making a choice about which symbols to return. I think that it
makes sense for the choice GDB makes in this case to match what a user
would get on the command line if they asked to 'print foo'.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-symbol.c: Declare and call function from new

While working on another patch I ran into an issue with
unordered_remove (in gdb_vecs.h), where removing the last item of the
vector can cause a self move assign.
When compiling the C++ standard library in debug mode (with
-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1) this causes an error to trigger.
I've fixed the issue in this patch and provided a unit test.
The provided unit test includes an assignment operator which checks
for self move assign, this removes the need to compile with
-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1 in order to spot the bug. If you're keen to see
the error reported from the C++ standard library then remove operator=
from the unit test and recompile GDB with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1.

This changes command_line_input to return a "const char *", which is
appropriate because the memory is owned by command_line_input. Then

This patch changes the TUI disassembly window to style its contents.
The styling should be identical to what is seen in the CLI. This
involved a bit of rearrangement, so that the source and disassembly
windows could share both the copy_source_line utility function, and
the ability to react to changes in "set style enabled".
This version introduces a new function to strip the styling from the
address string when computing the length. As a byproduct, it also
removes the unused "insn_size" computation from
tui_disasm_window::set_contents.

Here's the patch corresponding to the Solaris 10 obsoletion announcement
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2019-10/msg00008.html
Right now it doesn't remove any code, but obviates the need to test on
that ancient platform. Besides, some of the patches I have in my queue
would require different solutions for Solaris 10 and 11.
There are a few comment-only references that I've kept since they are
still correct as is, even when GDB doesn't support Solaris 10 any
longer. The only code fragment I've left in is support for
/proc/<pid/path/a.out in procfs.c (procfs_target::pid_to_exec_file):
while current Solaris 11 updates provide /proc/<pid>/execname, that
wasn't present in Solaris 11.0 and still isn't in current Illumos and I
didn't want to make live harder for them.
Tested on i386-pc-solaris2.10 (obsolete configuration rejected) and
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu x sparc64-solaris2.10 (likewise)
resp. x86_64-pc-linux-gnu x sparcv9-solaris2.11 (still builds; I'm using
the sparcv9 form for 64-bit SPARC customary on Solaris in the
MAINTAINERS file now).

* configure.host: Mark *-*-solaris2.10* obsolete.

The speed optimization from commit 5f6cac4085c95c5339b9549dc06d4f9184184fa6
made GDB skip reloading all symbols when the same symbol file is reloaded.
As a result, ARM targets only read the mapping symbols the first time we
load a symbol file. When reloaded, the speed optimization above will
cause an early return and gdbarch_record_special_symbol won't be called to
save mapping symbol data, which in turn affects disassembling of thumb
instructions.

This happens because the mapping symbol data is stored in an objfile_key-based
container, and that data isn't preserved across the two symbol loading
operations.
The following patch fixes this by storing the mapping symbol data in a
bfd_key-based container, which doesn't change as long as the bfd is the same.
I've also added a new test to verify the correct disassemble output.

When calling the language la_print_typedef method, don't include a
newline at the end, instead print the newline from the users of
la_print_typedef.
This change will be useful in a later commit when the output from
la_print_typedef will be placed into an MI output field, in which case
the trailing newline is not required.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

This patch adds two new commands "info module functions" and "info
module variables". These commands list all of the functions and
variables grouped by module and then by file.
For example:
(gdb) info module functions
All functions in all modules:
Module "mod1":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
35: void mod1::__copy_mod1_M1t1(Type m1t1, Type m1t1);
25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4));
31: integer(kind=4) mod1::sub_m1_b(void);
Module "mod2":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
41: void mod2::sub_m2_a(integer(kind=4), logical(kind=4));
49: logical(kind=4) mod2::sub_m2_b(real(kind=4));
The new commands take set of flags that allow the output to be
filtered, the user can filter by variable/function name, type, or
containing module.
As GDB doesn't currently track the relationship between a module and
the variables or functions within it in the symbol table, so I filter
based on the module prefix in order to find the functions or variables
in each module. What this makes clear is that a user could get this
same information using "info variables" and simply provide the prefix
themselves, for example:
(gdb) info module functions -m mod1 _a
All functions matching regular expression "_a",
in all modules matching regular expression "mod1":
Module "mod1":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4));
Is similar to:
(gdb) info functions mod1::.*_a.*
All functions matching regular expression "mod1::.*_a":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4));
The benefits I see for a separate command are that the user doesn't
have to think (or know) about the module prefix format, nor worry
about building a proper regexp. The user can also easily scan across
modules without having to build complex regexps.
The new function search_module_symbols is extern in this patch despite
only being used within symtab.c, this is because a later patch in this
series will also be using this function from outside symtab.c.
This patch is a new implementation of an idea originally worked on by
Mark O'Connor, Chris January, David Lecomber, and Xavier Oro from ARM.

Add a new command 'info modules' that lists all of the modules GDB
knows about from the debug information.
A module is a debugging entity in the DWARF defined with
DW_TAG_module, currently Fortran is known to use this tag for its
modules. I'm not aware of any other language that currently makes use
of DW_TAG_module.
The output style is similar to the 'info type' output:
(gdb) info modules
All defined modules:
File info-types.f90:
16: mod1
24: mod2
(gdb)
Where the user is told the file the module is defined in and, on the
left hand side, the line number at which the module is defined along
with the name of the module.
This patch is a new implementation of an idea originally worked on by
Mark O'Connor, Chris January, David Lecomber, and Xavier Oro from ARM.

* NEWS: Mention $_gdb_setting, $_gdb_setting_str, $_gdb_maint_setting

* gdb.texinfo (Convenience Funs): Document the new
$_gdb_setting_str, $_gdb_maint_setting and $_gdb_maint_setting_str
convenience functions.

The new convenience functions $_gdb_setting and $_gdb_setting_str
provide access to the GDB settings in user-defined commands.
Similarly, $_gdb_maint_setting and $_gdb_maint_setting_str
provide access to the GDB maintenance settings.
The patch was developed following a comment of Eli about the
'set may-call-functions'. Eli said that user-defined functions
should have a way to change their behavior according to this setting.
Rather than have a specialized $_may_call_functions, this patch
implements a general way to access any GDB setting.
Compared to doing such access via Python 'gdb.parameter' and/or
'gdb.execute("set somesetting tosomevalue"):
* The 'with' command is much better than the above python usage:
if the user types C-c or an error happens between the set pagination off
and the python "set pagination on", the above python
does not restore the original setting.
* Effectively, with the "gdb.parameter" python one liner, it is possible to do
simple 'if' conditions, such as set and restore pagination.
But mixing the "python if" within canned
sequence of commands is cumbersome for non trivial combinations.
E.g. if several commands have to be done for a certain condition
accessed from python, I guess something like will be needed:
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some command")
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some other command")
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some different command")
(without speaking about nested "if-s").
With the convenience function:
if $_gdb_setting("some_setting")
some command
some other command
some different command
end
Integer settings (for example print elements) will also be more difficult
to use.
For example, a user defined function that scans and prints a linked list
might want to use the value of "set print elements" to stop printing
the linked list.
Doing that by mixing python expression/if is likely doable, but seems
not easy with the above one liners.
So, in summary, the $_gdb_setting and $_gdb_setting_str avoids to have the
heterogeneous mix of python and GDB commands in one single script
(and of course, it works even if python is not configured, but that
must be an unusual setup I guess).

Also stores the result in a thread-local static variable and
changes the return value to a const char*.
This is already important because Guile creates threads and
Python can create threads, but with the patch series here:

GDB itself will create threads, too.
