Add a new event, gdb.events.gdb_exiting, which is called once GDB
decides it is going to exit.
This event is not triggered in the case that GDB performs a hard
abort, for example, when handling an internal error and the user
decides to quit the debug session, or if GDB hits an unexpected,
fatal, signal.
This event is triggered if the user just types 'quit' at the command
prompt, or if GDB is run with '-batch' and has processed all of the
required commands.
The new event type is gdb.GdbExitingEvent, and it has a single
attribute exit_code, which is the value that GDB is about to exit
with.
The event is triggered before GDB starts dismantling any of its own
internal state, so, my expectation is that most Python calls should
work just fine at this point.
When considering this functionality I wondered about using the
'atexit' Python module. However, this is triggered when the Python
environment is shut down, which is done from a final cleanup. At
this point we don't know for sure what other GDB state has already
been cleaned up.

This commit builds on previous work to allow GDB to print a backtrace
of itself when GDB encounters an internal-error or internal-warning.
This fixes PR gdb/26377.
There's not many places where we call internal_warning, and I guess in
most cases the user would probably continue their debug session. And
so, in order to avoid cluttering up the output, by default, printing
of a backtrace is off for internal-warnings.
In contrast, printing of a backtrace is on by default for
internal-errors, as I figure that in most cases hitting an
internal-error is going to be the end of the debug session.
Whether a backtrace is printed or not can be controlled with the new
settings:
maintenance set internal-error backtrace on|off
maintenance show internal-error backtrace
maintenance set internal-warning backtrace on|off
maintenance show internal-warning backtrace
Here is an example of what an internal-error now looks like with the
backtrace included:
(gdb) maintenance internal-error blah
../../src.dev-3/gdb/maint.c:82: internal-error: blah
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

My hope is that this backtrace might make it slightly easier to
diagnose GDB issues if all that is provided is the console output, I
find that we frequently get reports of an assert being hit that is
located in pretty generic code (frame.c, value.c, etc) and it is not
always obvious how we might have arrived at the assert.

In some situations it is possible that a user might not want GDB to
try and access source code files, for example, the source code might
be stored on a slow to access network file system.
It is almost certainly possible that using some combination of 'set
directories' and/or 'set substitute-path' a user can trick GDB into
being unable to find the source files, but this feels like a rather
crude way to solve the problem.
In this commit a new option is add that stops GDB from opening and
reading the source files. A user can run with source code reading
disabled if this is required, then re-enable later if they decide
that they now want to view the source code.

The guile API has (history-append! <value>) to add values into GDB's
history list. There is currently no equivalent in the Python API.
This commit adds gdb.add_history(<value>) to the Python API, this
function takes <value> a gdb.Value (or anything that can be passed to
the constructor of gdb.Value), and adds the value it represents to
GDB's history list. The index of the newly added value is returned.

This commit adds a new maintenance feature, the ability to print
a (limited) backtrace if GDB dies due to a fatal signal.
The backtrace is produced using the backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd
functions which are declared in the execinfo.h header, and both of
which are async signal safe. A configure check has been added to
check for these features, if they are not available then the new code
is not compiled into GDB and the backtrace will not be printed.
The motivation for this new feature is to aid in debugging GDB in
situations where GDB has crashed at a users site, but the user is
reluctant to share core files, possibly due to concerns about what
might be in the memory image within the core file. Such a user might
be happy to share a simple backtrace that was written to stderr.
The production of the backtrace is on by default, but can switched off
using the new commands:
maintenance set backtrace-on-fatal-signal on|off
maintenance show backtrace-on-fatal-signal
Right now, I have hooked this feature in to GDB's existing handling of
SIGSEGV only, but this will be extended to more signals in a later
commit.
One additional change I have made in this commit is that, when we
decide GDB should terminate due to the fatal signal, we now
raise the same fatal signal rather than raising SIGABRT.
Currently, this is only effecting our handling of SIGSEGV. So,
previously, if GDB hit a SEGV then we would terminate GDB with a
SIGABRT. After this commit we will terminate GDB with a SIGSEGV.
This feels like an improvement to me, we should still get a core dump,
but in many shells, the user will see a more specific message once GDB
exits, in bash for example "Segmentation fault" rather than "Aborted".
Finally then, here is an example of the output a user would see if GDB
should hit an internal SIGSEGV:
Fatal signal: Segmentation fault
----- Backtrace -----

---------------------
A fatal error internal to GDB has been detected, further
debugging is not possible. GDB will now terminate.
This is a bug, please report it. For instructions, see:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
It is disappointing that backtrace_symbols_fd does not actually map
the addresses back to symbols, this appears, in part, to be due to GDB
not being built with -rdynamic as the manual page for
backtrace_symbols_fd suggests, however, even when I do add -rdynamic
to the build of GDB I only see symbols for some addresses.
We could potentially look at alternative libraries to provide the
backtrace (e.g. libunwind) however, the solution presented here, which
is available as part of glibc is probably a good baseline from which
we might improve things in future.

Adds API to the Guile bindings for creating temporary breakpoints and
querying whether an existing breakpoint object is temporary. This is
effectively a transliteration of the Python implementation.
It's worth noting that the added `is_temporary' flag is ignored in the
watchpoint registration path. This replicates the behaviour of the
Python implementation, but might be a bit surprising for users.

GDB doesn't handle well the case of an inferior using the JIT interface
to register JIT-ed objfiles and forking. If an inferior registers a
code object using the JIT interface and then forks, the child process
conceptually has the same code object loaded, so GDB should look it up
and learn about it (it currently doesn't).
To achieve this, I think it would make sense to have the
inferior_created observable called when an inferior is created due to a
fork in follow_fork_inferior. The inferior_created observable is
currently called both after starting a new inferior and after attaching
to an inferior, allowing various sub-components to learn about that new
executing inferior. We can see handling a fork child just like
attaching to it, so any work done when attaching should also be done in
the case of a fork child.
Instead of just calling the inferior_created observable, this patch
makes follow_fork_inferior call the whole post_create_inferior function.
This way, the attach and follow-fork code code paths are more alike.
Given that post_create_inferior calls solib_create_inferior_hook,
follow_fork_inferior doesn't need to do it itself, so those calls to
solib_create_inferior_hook are removed.
One question you may have: why not just call post_create_inferior at the
places where solib_create_inferior_hook is currently called, instead of
after target_follow_fork?
- there's something fishy for the second solib_create_inferior_hook
call site: at this point we have switched the current program space
to the child's, but not the current inferior nor the current thread.
So solib_create_inferior_hook (and everything under, including
check_for_thread_db, for example) is called with inferior 1 as the
current inferior and inferior 2's program space as the current
program space. I think that's wrong, because at this point we are
setting up inferior 2, and all that code relies on the current
inferior. We could just add a switch_to_thread call before it to
make inferior 2 the current one, but there are other problems (see
below).
- solib_create_inferior_hook is currently not called on the
`follow_child && detach_fork` path. I think we need to call it,
because we still get a new inferior in that case (even though we
detach the parent). If we only call post_create_inferior where
solib_create_inferior_hook used to be called, then the JIT
subcomponent doesn't get informed about the new inferior, and that
introduces a failure in the new gdb.base/jit-elf-fork.exp test.
- if we try to put the post_create_inferior just after the
switch_to_thread that was originally at line 662, or just before the
call to target_follow_fork, we introduce a subtle failure in
gdb.threads/fork-thread-pending.exp. What happens then is that
libthread_db gets loaded (somewhere under post_create_inferior)
before the linux-nat target learns about the LWPs (which happens in
linux_nat_target::follow_fork). As a result, the ALL_LWPS loop in
try_thread_db_load_1 doesn't see the child LWP, and the thread-db
target doesn't have the chance to fill in thread_info::priv. A bit
later, when the test does "info threads", and
thread_db_target::pid_to_str is called, the thread-db target doesn't
recognize the thread as one of its own, and delegates the request to
the target below. Because the pid_to_str output is not the expected
one, the test fails.
This tells me that we need to call the process target's follow_fork
first, to make the process target create the necessary LWP and thread
structures. Then, we can call post_create_inferior to let the other
components of GDB do their thing.
But then you may ask: check_for_thread_db is already called today,
somewhere under solib_create_inferior_hook, and that is before
target_follow_fork, why don't we see this ordering problem!? Well,
because of the first bullet point: when check_for_thread_db /
thread_db_load are called, the current inferior is (erroneously)
inferior 1, the parent. Because libthread_db is already loaded for
the parent, thread_db_load early returns. check_for_thread_db later
gets called by linux_nat_target::follow_fork. At this point, the
current inferior is the correct one and the child's LWP exists, so
all is well.
Since we now call post_create_inferior after target_follow_fork, which
calls the inferior_created observable, which calls check_for_thread_db,
I don't think linux_nat_target needs to explicitly call
check_for_thread_db itself, so that is removed.
In terms of testing, this patch adds a new gdb.base/jit-elf-fork.exp
test. It makes an inferior register a JIT code object and then fork.
It then verifies that whatever the detach-on-fork and follow-fork-child
parameters are, GDB knows about the JIT code object in all the inferiors
that survive the fork. It verifies that the inferiors can unload that
code object.
There isn't currently a way to get visibility into GDB's idea of the JIT
code objects for each inferior. For the purpose of this test, add the
"maintenance info jit" command. There isn't much we can print about the
JIT code objects except their load address. So the output looks a bit
bare, but it's good enough for the test.

Currently the 'info sources' command lists all of the known source
files together, regardless of their source, e.g. here is a session
debugging a test application that makes use of a shared library:
(gdb) info sources
Source files for which symbols have been read in:
/tmp/info-sources/test.c, /usr/include/stdc-predef.h,
/tmp/info-sources/header.h, /tmp/info-sources/helper.c
Source files for which symbols will be read in on demand:
(gdb)
In this commit I change the format of the 'info sources' results so
that the results are grouped by the object file that uses that source
file. Here's the same session with the new output format:
(gdb) info sources
/tmp/info-sources/test.x:
/tmp/info-sources/test.c, /usr/include/stdc-predef.h,
/tmp/info-sources/header.h
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2:
(Objfile has no debug information.)
system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000:
(Objfile has no debug information.)
/tmp/info-sources/libhelper.so:
/tmp/info-sources/helper.c, /usr/include/stdc-predef.h,
/tmp/info-sources/header.h
/lib64/libc.so.6:
(Objfile has no debug information.)
(gdb)
Notice that in the new output some source files are repeated,
e.g. /tmp/info-sources/header.h, as multiple objfiles use this source
file.
Further, some object files are tagged with the message '(Objfile has
no debug information.)', it is also possible to see the message '(Full
debug information has not yet been read for this file.)', which is
printed when some symtabs within an objfile have not yet been
expanded.
All of the existing regular expression based filtering still works.
An original version of this patch added the new format as an option to
'info sources', however, it was felt that the new layout was so much
better than the old style that GDB should just switch to the new
result format completely.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention changes to 'info sources'.
* symtab.c (info_sources_filter::print): Delete.

This commit adds a new option '--group-by-objfile' to the MI command
-file-list-exec-source-files. With this option the output format is
changed; instead of a single list of source files the results are now
a list of objfiles. For each objfile all of the source files
associated with that objfile are listed.
Here is an example of the new output format taken from the
documentation (the newlines are added just for readability):
-file-list-exec-source-files --group-by-objfile
^done,files=[{filename="/tmp/info-sources/test.x",
debug-info="fully-read",
sources=[{file="test.c",
fullname="/tmp/info-sources/test.c",
debug-fully-read="true"},
{file="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
fullname="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
debug-fully-read="true"},
{file="header.h",
fullname="/tmp/info-sources/header.h",
debug-fully-read="true"}]},
{filename="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",
debug-info="none",
sources=[]},
{filename="system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000",
debug-info="none",
sources=[]},
{filename="/tmp/info-sources/libhelper.so",
debug-info="fully-read",
sources=[{file="helper.c",
fullname="/tmp/info-sources/helper.c",
debug-fully-read="true"},
{file="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
fullname="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
debug-fully-read="true"},
{file="header.h",
fullname="/tmp/info-sources/header.h",
debug-fully-read="true"}]},
{filename="/lib64/libc.so.6",
debug-info="none",
sources=[]}]
In the above output the 'debug-info' field associated with each
objfile will have one of the values 'none', 'partially-read', or
'fully-read'. For example, /lib64/libc.so.6 has the value 'none',
this indicates that this object file has no debug information
associated with it, unsurprisingly then, the sources list of this
object file is empty.
An object file that was compiled with debug, for example
/tmp/info-sources/libhelper.so, has the value 'fully-read' above
indicating that this object file does have debug information, and the
information is fully read into GDB. At different times this field
might have the value 'partially-read' indicating that that the object
file has debug information, but it has not been fully read into GDB
yet.
Source files can appear at most once for any single objfile, but can
appear multiple times in total, if the same source file is part of
multiple objfiles, for example /tmp/info-sources/header.h in the above
output.
The new output format is hidden behind a command option to ensure that
the default output is unchanged, this ensures backward compatibility.
The behaviour of the CLI "info sources" command is unchanged after
this commit.

This commit extends the existing MI command
-file-list-exec-source-files to provide the same regular expression
based filtering that the equivalent CLI command "info sources"
provides.
The new command syntax is:
-file-list-exec-source-files [--basename | --dirname] [--] [REGEXP]
All options are optional, which ensures the command is backward
compatible.
As part of this work I have unified the CLI and MI code.
As a result of the unified code I now provide additional information
in the MI command output, there is now a new field 'debug-fully-read'
included with each source file. This field which has the values
'true' or 'false', indicates if the source file is from a compilation
unit that has had its debug information fully read. However, as this
is additional information, a well written front-end should just ignore
this field if it doesn't understand it, so things should still be
backward compatible.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention additions to -file-list-exec-source-files.
* mi/mi-cmd-file.c (print_partial_file_name): Delete.
(mi_cmd_file_list_exec_source_files): Rewrite to handle command
options, and make use of info_sources_worker.

(info_sources_filter::print): Take uiout argument, produce output
through uiout.
(struct output_source_filename_data)
<output_source_filename_data>: Take uiout argument, store into

This commit adds initial support for catchpoints to the python
breakpoint API.
This commit adds a BP_CATCHPOINT constant which corresponds to
GDB's internal bp_catchpoint. The new constant is documented in the
manual.
The user can't create breakpoints with type BP_CATCHPOINT after this
commit, but breakpoints that already exist, obtained with the
`gdb.breakpoints` function, can now have this type. Additionally,
when a stop event is reported for hitting a catchpoint, GDB will now
report a BreakpointEvent with the attached breakpoint being of type
BP_CATCHPOINT - previously GDB would report a generic StopEvent in
this situation.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention Python BP_CATCHPOINT feature.
* python/py-breakpoint.c (pybp_codes): Add bp_catchpoint support.
(bppy_init): Likewise.
(gdbpy_breakpoint_created): Likewise.

This commit adds support to RISC-V GDB for vector registers in the
incoming target description.
The vector registers should be described in a feature called
"org.gnu.gdb.riscv.vector", and should contain the register v0 to
v31. There's no restriction on the size or type of these registers,
so the target description can set these up as it requires.
However, if the target feature is present then all of the registers
must be present, and they must all be the same size, these
requirements are, I believe, inline with the RISC-V vector extension.
The DWARF register numbers for the vector registers have been added,
and the code to map between GDB's internal numbering and the DWARF
numbering has been updated.
I have not yet added a feature/riscv/*.xml file for the vector
extension, the consequence of this is that we can't, right now, detect
vector registers on a native target, this patch is all about
supporting vectors on a remote target.
It is worth noting that I don't actually have access to a RISC-V
target with vectors, so the only testing that this patch has had has
been done using 'set tdesc filename ....' to load a target description
to which I have manually added the vector feature. This has shown
that the vector register feature can be successfully parsed, and that
the registers show up in the expected register groups.
Additionally, the RISC-V vector extension is currently at v0.10, which
is also the v1.0 draft release. However, this extension is not yet
finalised. It is possible (but unlikely I think) that the register
set could change between now and the final release of the vector
extension. If this were to happen then we would potentially end up
changing the requirements for the new org.gnu.gdb.riscv.vector
feature. I really don't think it is likely that the register set will
change this late in the process, and even if it did, changing the
feature requirements will not be a problem as far as I am
concerned (when the alternative is GDB just continues without this
feature for now).

Add new methods to the PendingFrame and Frame classes to obtain the
stack frame level for each object.
The use of 'level' as the method name is consistent with the existing
attribute RecordFunctionSegment.level (though this is an attribute

only use methods, including for simple data like architecture, so I

gdb: startup commands to control Python extension language
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Fix typo and stray full stop.
|

Add two new commands to GDB that can be placed into the early
initialization to control how Python starts up. The new options are:
set python ignore-environment on|off
set python dont-write-bytecode auto|on|off
show python ignore-environment
show python dont-write-bytecode
These can be used from GDB's startup file to control how the Python
extension language behaves. These options are equivalent to the -E
and -B flags to python respectively, their descriptions from the
Python man page:
-E Ignore environment variables like PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME
that modify the behavior of the interpreter.
-B Don't write .pyc files on import.

This commit adds a flag to the ptype command in order to print the
offsets and sizes of struct members using the hexadecimal notation. The
'x' flag ensures use of the hexadecimal notation while the 'd' flag
ensures use of the decimal notation. The default is to use decimal
notation.
Before this patch, gdb only uses decimal notation, as pointed out in PR
gdb/22640.
Here is an example of this new behavior with hex output turned on:
(gdb) ptype /ox struct type_print_options
/* offset | size */ type = struct type_print_options {
/* 0x0000: 0x0 | 0x0004 */ unsigned int raw : 1;
/* 0x0000: 0x1 | 0x0004 */ unsigned int print_methods : 1;
/* 0x0000: 0x2 | 0x0004 */ unsigned int print_typedefs : 1;
/* 0x0000: 0x3 | 0x0004 */ unsigned int print_offsets : 1;
/* 0x0000: 0x4 | 0x0004 */ unsigned int print_in_hex : 1;
/* XXX 3-bit hole */
/* XXX 3-byte hole */
/* 0x0004 | 0x0004 */ int print_nested_type_limit;
/* 0x0008 | 0x0008 */ typedef_hash_table *local_typedefs;
/* 0x0010 | 0x0008 */ typedef_hash_table *global_typedefs;
/* 0x0018 | 0x0008 */ ext_lang_type_printers *global_printers;
/* total size (bytes): 32 */
}
This patch also adds the 'set print type hex' and 'show print type hex'
commands in order to set and inspect the default behavior regarding the
use of decimal or hexadecimal notation when printing struct sizes and
offsets.
Tested using on x86_64.

Adds the ability to process commands at a new phase during GDB's
startup. This phase is earlier than the current initialisation file
processing, before GDB has produced any output.
The number of commands that can be processed at this early stage will
be limited, and it is expected that the only commands that would be
processed at this stage will relate to some of the fundamentals of how
GDB starts up.
Currently the only commands that it makes sense to add to this early
initialization file are those like 'set style version ....' as the
version string is displayed during startup before the standard
initialization files are parsed. As such this commit fully resolved
bug cli/25956.
This commit adds a mechanism to execute these early initialization
files from a users HOME directory, as well as some corresponding
command line flags for GDB.
The early initialization files that GDB will currently check for are
~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit (on Linux like systems) or ~/.gdbearlyinit
if the former is not found.
The output of 'gdb --help' has been extended to include a list of the
early initialization files being processed.

* NEWS: Mention memory tagging changes.

We already have a command 'maint info sections', this command prints
all sections from all known object files.
However, GDB maintains a second section table internally. This
section table is used when GDB wants to read directly from an object
file rather than actually reading memory on the target. As such only
some sections (the allocatable ones) are added to this secondary
section table.
I recently ran into a situation where some of GDB's optimisations for
reading directly from the files were not working. In 'maint info
sections' I could see that GDB knew about the object file, and did
know about the sections that it _should_ have been reading from. But
I couldn't ask GDB which sections it had copied into its secondary
section table.
This commit adds a new command 'maint info target-sections' that fills
this gap. This command lists only those sections that GDB has copied
into its secondary table.
You'll notice that the testsuite includes a comment indicating that
there's a bug in GDB. Normally this is not something I would add to
the testsuite, instead we should raise an actual bugzilla bug and then
mark an xfail, however, a later patch in this series will remove this
comment once the actual bug in GDB is fixed.

The 'maintenance info sections' command currently takes a list of
filters on the command line. It can also accept the magic string
'ALLOBJ' which acts more like a command line flag, telling the command
to print information about all objfiles.
The manual has this to say about the options and filters:
... In addition, 'maint info sections' provides the following
command options (which may be arbitrarily combined): ...
Implying (to me at least) that I can do this:
(gdb) maint info sections ALLOBJ READONLY
to list all the read-only sections from all currently loaded object
files.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The READONLY filter will work, but
ALLOBJ will not be detected correctly.
It would be fairly simple to fix the ALLOBJ detection. However, I
dislike this mixing of command options (ALLOBJ) with command data (the
filters, e.g. READONLY, etc).
As this is a maintenance command, so not really intended for end
users, I think we can be a little more aggressive in "fixing" the
option parsing. So that's what I do in this commit.
The ALLOBJ mechanism is replaced with a real command
option (-all-objects). The rest of the command operates just as
before. The example above would now become:
(gdb) maint info sections -all-objects READONLY
The manual has been updated, and I added a NEWS entry to document the
change.

This commit adds a new 'version' style, which replaces the hard coded
styling currently used for GDB's version string. GDB's version number
is displayed:
1. In the output of 'show version', and
2. When GDB starts up (without the --quiet option).
This new style can only ever affect the first of these two cases as
the second case is printed before GDB has processed any initialization
files, or processed any GDB commands passed on the command line.
However, because the first case exists I think this commit makes
sense, it means the style is no longer hard coded into GDB, and we can
add some tests that the style can be enabled/disabled correctly.
This commit is an alternative to a patch Tom posted here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169820.html
I've used the style name 'version' instead of 'startup' to reflect
what the style is actually used for. If other parts of the startup
text end up being highlighted I imagine they would get their own
styles based on what is being highlighted. I feel this is more inline
with the other style names that are already in use within GDB.
I also decoupled adding this style from the idea of startup options,
and the possibility of auto-saving startup options. Those ideas can
be explored in later patches.
This commit should probably be considered only a partial solution to
issue PR cli/25956. The colours of the style are no longer hard
coded, however, it is still impossible to change the styling of the
version string displayed during startup, so in one sense, the styling
of that string is still "hard coded". A later patch will hopefully
extend GDB to allow it to adjust the version styling before the
initial version string is printed.

We currently have two flushing commands 'flushregs' and 'maint
flush-symbol-cache'. I'm planning to add at least one more so I
thought it might be nice if we bundled these together into one place.
And so I created the 'maint flush ' command prefix. Currently there
are two commands:
(gdb) maint flush symbol-cache
(gdb) maint flush register-cache
Unfortunately, even though both of the existing flush commands are
maintenance commands, I don't know how keen we about deleting existing
commands for fear of breaking things in the wild. So, both of the
existing flush commands 'maint flush-symbol-cache' and 'flushregs' are
still around as deprecated aliases to the new commands.
I've updated the testsuite to use the new command syntax, and updated
the documentation too.

This commit brings array slice support to GDB.
WARNING: This patch contains a rather big hack which is limited to
Fortran arrays, this can be seen in gdbtypes.c and f-lang.c. More
details on this below.
This patch rewrites two areas of GDB's Fortran support, the code to
extract an array slice, and the code to print an array.
After this commit a user can, from the GDB prompt, ask for a slice of
a Fortran array and should get the correct result back. Slices can
(optionally) have the lower bound, upper bound, and a stride
specified. Slices can also have a negative stride.
Fortran has the concept of repacking array slices. Within a compiled
Fortran program if a user passes a non-contiguous array slice to a
function then the compiler may have to repack the slice, this involves
copying the elements of the slice to a new area of memory before the
call, and copying the elements back to the original array after the
call. Whether repacking occurs will depend on which version of
Fortran is being used, and what type of function is being called.
This commit adds support for both packed, and unpacked array slicing,
with the default being unpacked.
With an unpacked array slice, when the user asks for a slice of an
array GDB creates a new type that accurately describes where the
elements of the slice can be found within the original array, a
value of this type is then returned to the user. The address of an
element within the slice will be equal to the address of an element
within the original array.
A user can choose to select packed array slices instead using:
(gdb) set fortran repack-array-slices on|off
(gdb) show fortran repack-array-slices
With packed array slices GDB creates a new type that reflects how the
elements of the slice would look if they were laid out in contiguous
memory, allocates a value of this type, and then fetches the elements
from the original array and places then into the contents buffer of
the new value.
One benefit of using packed slices over unpacked slices is the memory
usage, taking a small slice of N elements from a large array will
require (in GDB) N * ELEMENT_SIZE bytes of memory, while an unpacked
array will also include all of the "padding" between the
non-contiguous elements. There are new tests added that highlight
this difference.
There is also a new debugging flag added with this commit that
introduces these commands:
(gdb) set debug fortran-array-slicing on|off
(gdb) show debug fortran-array-slicing
This prints information about how the array slices are being built.
As both the repacking, and the array printing requires GDB to walk
through a multi-dimensional Fortran array visiting each element, this
commit adds the file f-array-walk.h, which introduces some
infrastructure to support this process. This means the array printing
code in f-valprint.c is significantly reduced.
The only slight issue with this commit is the "rather big hack" that I
mentioned above. This hack allows us to handle one specific case,
array slices with negative strides. This is something that I don't
believe the current GDB value contents model will allow us to
correctly handle, and rather than rewrite the value contents code
right now, I'm hoping to slip this hack in as a work around.
The problem is that, as I see it, the current value contents model
assumes that an object base address will be the lowest address within
that object, and that the contents of the object start at this base
address and occupy the TYPE_LENGTH bytes after that.
( We do have the embedded_offset, which is used for C++ sub-classes,
such that an object can start at some offset from the content buffer,
however, the assumption that the object then occupies the next
TYPE_LENGTH bytes is still true within GDB. )
The problem is that Fortran arrays with a negative stride don't follow
this pattern. In this case the base address of the object points to
the element with the highest address, the contents of the array then
start at some offset _before_ the base address, and proceed for one
element _past_ the base address.
As the stride for such an array would be negative then, in theory the
TYPE_LENGTH for this type would also be negative. However, in many
places a value in GDB will degrade to a pointer + length, and the
length almost always comes from the TYPE_LENGTH.
It is my belief that in order to correctly model this case the value
content handling of GDB will need to be reworked to split apart the
value's content buffer (which is a block of memory with a length), and
the object's in memory base address and length, which could be
negative.
Things are further complicated because arrays with negative strides
like this are always dynamic types. When a value has a dynamic type
and its base address needs resolving we actually store the address of
the object within the resolved dynamic type, not within the value
object itself.
In short I don't currently see an easy path to cleanly support this
situation within GDB. And so I believe that leaves two options,
either add a work around, or catch cases where the user tries to make
use of a negative stride, or access an array with a negative stride,
and throw an error.
This patch currently goes with adding a work around, which is that
when we resolve a dynamic Fortran array type, if the stride is
negative, then we adjust the base address to point to the lowest
address required by the array. The printing and slicing code is aware
of this adjustment and will correctly slice and print Fortran arrays.
Where this hack will show through to the user is if they ask for the
address of an array in their program with a negative array stride, the
address they get from GDB will not match the address that would be
computed within the Fortran program.

This commit effectively changes the default location of the .gdbinit
file, while maintaining backward compatibility.
For non Apple hosts the .gdbinit file will now be looked for in the
following locations:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gdb/gdbinit
$HOME/.config/gdb/gdbinit
$HOME/.gdbinit
On Apple hosts the search order is instead:
$HOME/Library/Preferences/gdb/gdbinit
$HOME/.gdbinit
I've performed an extensive rewrite of the documentation, moving all
information about initialization files and where to find them into a
new @node, text from other areas has been moved into this one
location, and other areas cross-reference to this new @node as much as
possible.

The previous patch made it possible to define a condition if it's
valid at some locations. If the condition is invalid at all of the
locations, it's rejected. However, there may be cases where the user
knows the condition *will* be valid at a location in the future,
e.g. due to a shared library load.
To make it possible that such condition can be defined, this patch
adds an optional '-force' flag to the 'condition' command, and,
respectively, a '-force-condition' flag to the 'break'command. When
the force flag is passed, the condition is not rejected even when it
is invalid for all the current locations (note that all the locations
would be internally disabled in this case).
For instance:
(gdb) break test.c:5
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1155: file test.c, line 5.
(gdb) cond 1 foo == 42
No symbol "foo" in current context.
Defining the condition was not possible because 'foo' is not
available. The user can override this behavior with the '-force'
flag:
(gdb) cond -force 1 foo == 42
warning: failed to validate condition at location 1.1, disabling:
No symbol "foo" in current context.
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
stop only if foo == 42
1.1 N 0x0000000000001155 in main at test.c:5
Now the condition is accepted, but the location is automatically
disabled. If a future location has a context in which 'foo' is
available, that location would be enabled.
For the 'break' command, -force-condition has the same result:
(gdb) break test.c:5 -force-condition if foo == 42
warning: failed to validate condition at location 0x1169, disabling:
No symbol "foo" in current context.
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1169: file test.c, line 5.

Currently -break-insert always creates a wildmatching breakpoint, and
there's no way to ask for a fullname match. To address that, this
patch adds the equivalent of "break -qualified" to MI:
"-break-insert --qualified".
For the testcase, curiously, it doesn't look like we have _any_
testcase that tests a breakpoint with multiple locations, and, the
existing mi_create_breakpoint / mi_make_breakpoint procedures are only
good for breakpoints with a single location. This patch thus adds a
few new companion routines to mi-support.exp for breakpoints with
multiple locations: mi_create_breakpoint_multi,
mi_make_breakpoint_loc, mi_make_breakpoint_multi.

A few changes have been made to make the register support simpler,
more flexible and extendible. The trigger for most of these changes
are the remarks [1] made earlier for v2 of this patch. The noticeable
improvements are:
- The arc XML target features are placed under gdb/features/arc
- There are two cores (based on ISA) and one auxiliary feature:
v1-core: ARC600, ARC601, ARC700
v2-core: ARC EM, ARC HS
aux: common in both
- The XML target features represent a minimalistic sane set of
registers irrespective of application (baremetal or linux).
- A concept of "feature" class has been introduced in the code.
The "feature" object is constructed from BFD and GDBARCH data.
It contains necessary information (ISA and register size) to
determine which XML target feature to use.
- A new structure (ARC_REGISTER_FEATURE) is added that allows
providing index, names, and the necessity of registers. This
simplifies the sanity checks and future extendibility.
- Documnetation has been updated to reflect ARC features better.
- Although the feature names has changed, there still exists
backward compatibility with older names through
find_obsolete_[core,aux]_names() functions.
The last two points were inspired from RiscV port.
