This commit allows symbol matching within Fortran code without having
to specify all of the symbol's scope. For example, given this Fortran
code:
module aaa
contains
subroutine foo
print *, "hello."
end subroutine foo
end module aaa
subroutine foo
print *, "hello."
end subroutine foo
program test
call foo
contains
subroutine foo
print *, "hello."
end subroutine foo
subroutine bar
use aaa
call foo
end subroutine bar
end program test
The user can now do this:
(gdb) b foo
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4006c2: foo. (3 locations)
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x00000000004006c2 in aaa::foo at nest.f90:4
1.2 y 0x0000000000400730 in foo at nest.f90:9
1.3 y 0x00000000004007c3 in test::foo at nest.f90:16
The user asks for a breakpoint on 'foo' and is given a breakpoint on
all three possible 'foo' locations. The user is, of course, still
able to specify the scope in order to place a single breakpoint on
just one of the foo functions (or use 'break -qualified foo' to break
on just the global foo).

This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the
Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception
currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more
fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the
existing "catch" syntax.
This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint
must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper
functions.

This patch implements removal of Cell/B.E. support, including
- Support for the spu-*-* target
- Support for native stand-alone SPU debugging
- Support for integrated debugging of combined PPU/SPU applications
- Remote debugging (gdbserver) support for all the above.
The patch also removes the TARGET_OBJECT_SPU target object type,
as this is available only on Cell/B.E. targets, including
- Native Linux support
- Core file support (including core file generation)
- Remote target support, including removal of the qXfer:spu:read
and qXfer:spu:write remote protocal packets and associated
support in gdbserver.

The TUI window-related commands like "focus" are case insensitive.
This is not the norm in gdb, and I don't see a good reason to have it
here. This patch changes the TUI to be case sensitive, like the rest

Readline 8.0 has a feature that lets an application name a keymap.
This in turn makes it simpler for users to bind keys in keymaps in
their .inputrc.
This patch gives a name to the TUI SingleKey keymap, so that
additional bindings can be made there. For example:
$if gdb
set keymap SingleKey
"X": "echo hello\\n\n"
$endif
The call to rl_initialize, in tui_initialize_readline, had to be
removed so that .inputrc was not read too early. Note that Readline
explicitly documents that this call is not needed.

With this patch, we e.g. get:
[Switching to task 2 "task_list(1)"]
[Current task is 2 "task_list(1)"]
instead of
[Switching to task 2]
[Current task is 2]
The logic to produce the taskno optionally followed
by the task name has been factorized in the task_to_str function.
Task names are output between double quotes in the new messages,
similarly to what GDB does for thread names.
However, no quotes are put around task names in 'info tasks' Name column.
This was discussed with Tom, that preferred no quotes there, while I
was more in favour of visual consistency.
I discussed with a few more users, which led to (exactly) 50% preferring
quotes and 50% preferring no quotes :).
To arrive to the decision to remove the quotes, the following "killing args"
were used:
* To have quotes or to not have quotes, that is the question; yes
but not *THE* question :).
* If there is not a clear majority that prefers quotes, better to
not disturb the existing user basis for a (somewhat) irrelevant
aspect.
* The opinion of the reviewer has more weight.
So, compared to the previous version, this version remotes the quotes
in 'info tasks'.
It improves the alignement of 'info tasks' output.
With this patch, we get:
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
instead of
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
(e.g. the first one properly shows parent and priority under the
correct header).
This is version 4 of the 'task name' patch.
Compared to version 3, the changes are:
output task names between quotes but not in 'info tasks'

Armv8.3-a Pointer Authentication causes the function return address to be
obfuscated on entry to some functions. GDB must unmask the link register in
order to produce a backtrace.
The following patch adds markers of [PAC] to the bracktrace, to indicate
which addresses needed unmasking. This includes the backtrace when using MI.
For example, consider the following backtrace:
(gdb) bt
0 0x0000000000400490 in puts@plt ()
1 0x00000000004005dc in foo ("hello") at cbreak-lib.c:6
2 0x0000000000400604 [PAC] in bar () at cbreak-lib.c:12
3 0x0000000000400620 [PAC] in main2 () at cbreak.c:17
4 0x00000000004005b4 in main () at cbreak-3.c:10
The functions in cbreak-lib use pointer auth, which masks the return address
to the previous function, causing the addresses of bar (in the library) and main2
(in the main binary) to require unmasking in order to unwind the backtrace.
An extra bool is added alongside the prev_pc in the frame structure. At the
point at which the link register is unmasked, the AArch64 port calls into frame
to sets the bool. This is the most efficient way of doing it.
The marker is also added to the python frame printer, which is always printed if
set. The marker is not explicitly exposed to the python code.

Gdbserver has failed to build with GNU make 3.81 since commit 08f10e02be.
Update the NEWS file to state that versions earlier than 3.82 are not
supported.
3.82 was released in 2010, 3.81 was released 2006. A quick investigation
of the default GNU make version provided across various distros found the
earliest provided version to be 3.82:
*RHEL 7, Centos 6 - make 3.82
*Fedora 27 - make 4.2.1
*OpenSuse 42.2, SLES11 - make 4.2.1
*Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 - make 4.1
*Debian Jessie - make 4.0
Note that Glibc requires at least 4.0, whereas GCC still allows 3.81.

Without this patch, GDB printf command calls malloc on the target,
writes the convenience var content to the target,
re-reads the content from the target, and then locally printf the string.
This implies inferior calls, and does not work when there is no running
inferior, or when the inferior is a core dump.
With this patch, printf command can printf string convenience variables
without inferior function calls.
Ada string convenience variables can also be printed.

( See original discussion and prototype here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-05/msg00570.html )
(gdb) help with
Temporarily set SETTING to VALUE, run COMMAND, and restore SETTING.
Usage: with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
Usage: w SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
With no COMMAND, repeats the last executed command.
SETTING is any setting you can change with the "set" subcommands.
E.g.:
with language pascal -- print obj
with print elements unlimited -- print obj
As can be seen above, the "with" command is just like "set", but
instead of setting the setting permanently, it sets the setting, runs
a command and then restores the setting.
(gdb) p g_s
$1 = {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3}
(gdb) with language ada -- print g_s
$2 = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3)
Warning: the current language does not match this frame.
(gdb) show language
The current source language is "auto; currently c".
(gdb) with print elements 100 -- with print object on -- print 1
$3 = 1
You can shorten things a bit though, as long as unambiguous. So this:
(gdb) with print elements 100 -- with print object off -- print 1
is the same as:
(gdb) w p el 100 -- w p o 0 -- p 1
Note that the patch adds a "w" alias for "with", as "w" is not
currently taken:
(gdb) w
Ambiguous command "w": watch, wh, whatis, where, while, while-stepping, winheight, ws.
Let me know if you'd prefer to reserve "w" for one of the other
commands above. IMHO, this command will end up being used frequently
enough that it deserves the "w" shorthand.
A nice feature is that this is fully integrated with TAB-completion:
(gdb) with p[TAB]
pagination print prompt python
(gdb) with print [TAB]
address max-depth static-members
array max-symbolic-offset symbol
array-indexes null-stop symbol-filename
asm-demangle object symbol-loading
demangle pascal_static-members thread-events
elements pretty type
entry-values raw union
frame-arguments repeats vtbl
inferior-events sevenbit-strings
(gdb) with print [TAB]
(gdb) with print elements unlimited -- thread apply all -[TAB]
-ascending -c -q -s
(gdb) with print elements unlimited -- print -[TAB]
-address -max-depth -repeats -vtbl
-array -null-stop -static-members
-array-indexes -object -symbol
-elements -pretty -union
The main advantage of this new command compared to command options,
like the new "print -OPT", is that this command works with any
setting, and, it works nicely when you want to override a setting
while running a user-defined command, like:
(gdb) with print pretty -- usercmd
The disadvantage is that it isn't as compact or easy to type. I think
of command options and this command as complementary. I think that
even with this new command, it makes sense to continue developing the
command options in the direction of exposing most-oft-used settings as
command options.
Inspired by Philippe's "/" command proposal, if no command is
specified, then the last command is re-invoked, under the overridden
setting:
(gdb) p g_s
$1 = {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3}
(gdb) with language ada
$2 = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3)
Warning: the current language does not match this frame.
Note: "with" requires "--" to separate the setting from the command.
It might be possible to do without that, but, I haven't tried it yet,
and I think that this can go in without it. We can always downgrade
to making "--" optional if we manage to make it work.
On to the patch itself, the implementation of the command is simpler
than one might expect. A few details:
- I factored out a bit from pipe_command into repeat_previous
directly, because otherwise I'd need to copy&paste the same code and
same error message in the with command.
- The parse_cli_var_uinteger / parse_cli_var_zuinteger_unlimited /
do_set_command changes are necessary since we can now pass an empty
string as argument.
- do_show_command was split in two, as a FIXME comment suggests, but
for a different reason: we need to get a string version of a "set"
command's value, and we already had code for that in
do_show_command. That code is now factored out to the new
get_setshow_command_value_string function.
- There's a new "maint with" command added too:
(gdb) help maint with
Like "with", but works with "maintenance set" variables.
Usage: maintenance with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
With no COMMAND, repeats the last executed command.
SETTING is any setting you can change with the "maintenance set"
subcommands.
"with" and "maint with" share 99% of the implementation.
This might be useful on its own, but it's also useful for testing,
since with this, we can use the "maint set/show test-settings"
settings for exercising the "with" machinery with all the command
type variants (all enum var_types). This is done in the new
gdb/base/with.exp testcase.
The documentation bits are originally based on Philippe's docs for the
"/" command, hence the attribution in the ChangeLog.

This makes "info threads" use the gdb::option framework to process
options. There's only one option today (-gid), and it isn't used much
frequently unless you're looking at matching MI output. Still, this
was in the neighborhood of "thread apply" so I had converted it.
The main advantage is that TAB completion now shows you the available
options, and gives you a hint to what the command accepts as operand
argument, including showing a metasyntactic variable:
(gdb) info threads [TAB]
-gid ID
(gdb) help info threads
Display currently known threads.
Usage: info threads [OPTION]... [ID]...
Options:
-gid
Show global thread IDs.
If ID is given, it is a space-separated list of IDs of threads to display.
Otherwise, all threads are displayed.

Adds some MI commands to catch C++ exceptions. The new commands are
-catch-throw, -catch-rethrow, and -catch-catch, these all correspond
to the CLI commands 'catch throw', 'catch rethrow', and 'catch catch'.
Each MI command takes two optional arguments, '-t' has the effect of
calling 'tcatch' instead of 'catch', for example:
(gdb)
-catch-throw -t
Is the same as:
(gdb) tcatch throw
There is also a '-r REGEXP' argument that can supply a regexp to match
against the exception type, so:
(gdb)
-catch-catch -r PATTERN
Is the same as:
(gdb) catch catch PATTERN
The change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint might seem a little
strange; changing the output from using ui_out::field_int and
ui_out::text to using ui_out::message.
The print_mention_exception_catchpoint is used as the 'print_mention'
method for the exception catchpoint breakpoint object. Most of the
other 'print_mention' methods (see breakpoint.c) use either
printf_filtered, of ui_out::message. Using field_int was causing an
unexpected field to be added to the MI output. Here's the output
without the change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint:
(gdb)
-catch-throw
^done,bkptno="1",bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",
enabled="y",addr="0x00000000004006c0",
what="exception throw",catch-type="throw",
thread-groups=["i1"],times="0"}
Notice the breakpoint number appears in both the 'bkptno' field, and
the 'number' field within the 'bkpt' tuple. Here's the output with
the change in print_mention_exception_catchpoint:
(gdb)
-catch-throw
^done,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",
enabled="y",addr="0x00000000004006c0",
what="exception throw",catch-type="throw",

A following patch will introduce options for the "backtrace" command,
based on some "set print" and "set backtrace" settings. There's one
setting in particular that is a bit annoying if we want to describe
the backtrace options and the settings commands using the same data
structures:
"set print raw frame-arguments"
The problem is that space between "raw" and "frame-arguments".
Calling the option
"bt -raw frame-arguments"
would be odd. So I'm calling the option
"bt -raw-frame-arguments"
instead.
And for consistency, this patch renames the set/show commands to:
"set print raw-frame-arguments"
"show print raw-frame-arguments"
I.e., dash instead of space. The old commands are left in place, but
marked deprecated.
We need to adjust a couple testcases, because the relevant tests use
gdb_test_no_output and the old commands are no longer silent:
(gdb) set print raw frame-arguments on
Warning: command 'set print raw frame-arguments' is deprecated.
Use 'set print raw-frame-arguments'.

This commit adds new representative commands for all types of settings
commands supported by gdb (enum var_types), and then uses them to
exercise settings parsing and completion.
(gdb) maint test-settings s[TAB]
set show
(gdb) maint test-settings set [TAB]
auto-boolean integer uinteger
boolean optional-filename zinteger
enum string zuinteger
filename string-noescape zuinteger-unlimited
(gdb) maint test-settings set enum [TAB]
xxx yyy zzz
etc.
This is basically unit testing, except that it goes fully via GDB. It
must be done this way in order to exercise TAB completion properly,
which must go via readline.

A user wanted to be able to disable the display of the value when
using "finish" -- but still have the value entered into the value
history in case it was useful later on. Part of the rationale here is
that sometimes the value might be quite large, or expensive to display
(in their case this was compounded by a rogue pretty-printer).
This patch implements this idea.

There is a CLI command 'complete' intended to use with emacs. Such a command
would also be useful for MI frontends, when separate CLI and MI channels cannot
be used. For example, on Windows (because of lack of PTYs) or when GDB is used
through SSH session.
This commit adds a new '-complete' MI command.

Introduce a new print setting max-depth which can be set with 'set
print max-depth DEPTH'. The default value of DEPTH is 20, but this
can also be set to unlimited.
When GDB is printing a value containing nested structures GDB will
stop descending at depth DEPTH. Here is a small example:
typedef struct s1 { int a; } s1;
typedef struct s2 { s1 b; } s2;
typedef struct s3 { s2 c; } s3;
typedef struct s4 { s3 d; } s4;
s4 var = { { { { 3 } } } };
The following table shows how various depth settings affect printing
of 'var':
| Depth Setting | Result of 'p var' |
|---------------+--------------------------------|
| Unlimited | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
| 4 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {a = 3}}}} |
| 3 | $1 = {d = {c = {b = {...}}}} |
| 2 | $1 = {d = {c = {...}}} |
| 1 | $1 = {d = {...}} |
| 0 | $1 = {...} |
Only structures, unions, and arrays are replaced in this way, scalars
and strings are not replaced.
The replacement is counted from the level at which you print, not from
the top level of the structure. So, consider the above example and
this GDB session:
(gdb) set print max-depth 2
(gdb) p var
$1 = {d = {c = {...}}}
(gdb) p var.d
$2 = {c = {b = {...}}}
(gdb) p var.d.c
$3 = {b = {a = 3}}
Setting the max-depth to 2 doesn't prevent the user from exploring
deeper into 'var' by asking for specific sub-fields to be printed.
The motivation behind this feature is to try and give the user more
control over how much is printed when examining large, complex data
structures.
The default max-depth of 20 means that there is a change in GDB's
default behaviour. Someone printing a data structure with 20 levels
of nesting will now see '{...}' instead of their data, they would need
to adjust the max depth, or call print again naming a specific field
in order to dig deeper into their data structure. If this is
considered a problem then we could increase the default, or even make
the default unlimited.
This commit relies on the previous commit, which added a new field to
the language structure, this new field was a string that contained the
pattern that should be used when a structure/union/array is replaced
in the output, this allows languages to use a syntax that is more
appropriate, mostly this will be selecting the correct types of
bracket '(...)' or '{...}', both of which are currently in use.
This commit should have no impact on MI output, expressions are
printed through the MI using -var-create and then -var-list-children.
As each use of -var-list-children only ever displays a single level of
an expression then the max-depth setting will have no impact.
This commit also adds the max-depth mechanism to the scripting
language pretty printers following basically the same rules as for the
built in value printing.
One quirk is that when printing a value using the display hint 'map',
if the keys of the map are structs then GDB will hide the keys one
depth level after it hides the values, this ensures that GDB produces
output like this:
$1 = map_object = {[{key1}] = {...}, [{key2}] = {...}}
Instead of this less helpful output:
$1 = map_object = {[{...}] = {...}, [{...}] = {...}}
This is covered by the new tests in gdb.python/py-nested-maps.exp.

Inferior function calls are powerful but might lead to undesired
results such as crashes when calling nested functions (frequently
used in particular in Ada).
This implements a GDB setting to disable calling inferior functions.
Note: the idea is that if/when the 'slash command' patch is pushed,
that this setting can be changed e.g. by using the shortcut /c.
This is version 2 of the patch. It handles all the received comments,
mostly replace 'can-call' by 'may-call', and avoid using
'inferior function call' in factor of 'calling function in the program'.

Add two new internal functions $_cimag and $_creal that extract the
imaginary and real parts of a complex value.
These internal functions can take a complex value of any type 'float
complex', 'double complex', or 'long double complex' and return a
suitable floating point value 'float', 'double', or 'long double'.
So we can now do this:
(gdb) p z1
$1 = 1.5 + 4.5 * I
(gdb) p $_cimag (z1)
$4 = 4.5
(gdb) p $_creal (z1)
$4 = 1.5
The components of a complex value are not strictly named types in
DWARF, as the complex type is itself the base type. However, once we
are able to extract the components it makes sense to be able to ask
what the type of these components is and get a sensible answer back,
rather than the error we would currently get. Currently GDB says:
(gdb) ptype z1
type = complex double
(gdb) p $_cimag (z1)
$4 = 4.5
(gdb) ptype $
type = <invalid type code 9>
With the changes in dwarf2read.c, GDB now says:
(gdb) ptype z1
type = complex double
(gdb) p $_cimag (z1)
$4 = 4.5
(gdb) ptype $
type = double
Which seems to make more sense.

The str () function, called on a gdb.Value instance, produces a string
representation similar to what can be achieved with the print command,
but it doesn't allow to specify additional formatting settings, for
instance disabling pretty printers.
This patch introduces a new format_string () method to gdb.Value which
allows specifying more formatting options, thus giving access to more
features provided by the internal C function common_val_print ().

New in v2:
- Addressed comments about doc, updated the MI version table
- New doc for the Breakpoint information format
- New -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output command, with associated
doc, test and NEWS updated accordingly
- Fixed the output, the locations list is now actually in the tuple
representing the breakpoint.
Various MI commands or events related to breakpoints output invalid MI
records when printing information about a multi-location breakpoint.
For example:
-break-insert allo
^done,bkpt={...,addr="<MULTIPLE>",...},{number="1.1",...},{number="1.2",...}
The problem is that according to the syntax [1], the top-level elements
are of type "result" and should be of the form "variable=value".
This patch changes the output to wrap the locations in a list:
^done,bkpt={...,addr="<MULTIPLE>",locations=[{number="1.1",...},{number="1.2",...}]}
The events =breakpoint-created, =breakpoint-modified, as well as the
-break-info command also suffer from this (and maybe others I didn't
find).
Since this is a breaking change for MI, we have to deal somehow with
backwards compatibility. The approach taken by this patch is to bump
the MI version, use the new syntax in MI3 while retaining the old syntax
in MI2. Frontends are expected to use a precise MI version (-i=mi2), so
if they do that they should be unaffected.
The patch also adds the command -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output,
which front ends can use to enable this behavior with MI <= 2.
