2020-09-13Add MI "-break-insert --qualified"Pedro Alves1-0/+10
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. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Document "-break-insert --qualified". * mi/mi-cmd-break.c (mi_cmd_break_insert_1): Handle "--qualified". gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Breakpoint Commands): Document "-break-insert --qualified" and "-dprintf-insert --qualified". gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/mi-break-qualified.cc: New file. * gdb.mi/mi-break-qualified.exp: New file. * lib/mi-support.exp (mi_create_breakpoint_multi) (mi_make_breakpoint_loc, mi_make_breakpoint_multi): New procedures.

2020-08-25arc: Add ARCv2 XML target along with refactoringShahab Vahedi1-0/+5
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.

2020-07-06gdb/python: New method to access list of register groupsAndrew Burgess1-0/+5
Add a new method gdb.Architecture.register_groups which returns a new object of type gdb.RegisterGroupsIterator. This new iterator then returns objects of type gdb.RegisterGroup. Each gdb.RegisterGroup object just wraps a single reggroup pointer, and (currently) has just one read-only property 'name' that is a string, the name of the register group. As with the previous commit (adding gdb.RegisterDescriptor) I made gdb.RegisterGroup an object rather than just a string in case we want to add additional properties in the future. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention additions to Python API. * python/py-arch.c (archpy_register_groups): New function.

2020-07-06gdb/python: Add gdb.Architecture.registers methodAndrew Burgess1-0/+5
This commit adds a new method gdb.Architecture.registers that returns an object of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator. This iterator returns objects of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptor. A RegisterDescriptor is not a way to read the value of a register, this is already covered by Frame.read_register, a RegisterDescriptor is simply a way to discover from Python, which registers are available for a given architecture. I did consider just returning a string, the name of each register, instead of a RegisterDescriptor, however, I'm aware that it we don't want to break the existing Python API in any way, so if I return just a string now, but in the future we want more information about a register then we would have to add a second API to get that information. By going straight to a descriptor object now, it is easy to add additional properties in the future should we wish to. Right now the only property of a register that a user can access is the name of the register. In future we might want to be able to ask the register about is register groups, or its type. gdb/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in (SUBDIR_PYTHON_SRCS): Add py-registers.c * python/py-arch.c (archpy_registers): New function.

2020-07-06gdb/python: Add architecture method to gdb.PendingFrameAndrew Burgess1-0/+3
It could be useful to determine the architecture of a frame being unwound during the frame unwind process, that is, before we have a gdb.Frame, but when we only have a gdb.PendingFrame. The PendingFrame already has a pointer to the gdbarch internally, this commit just exposes an 'architecture' method to Python, and has this return a gdb.Architecture object (list gdb.Frame.architecture does). gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention new Python API method. * python/py-unwind.c (pending_framepy_architecture): New function.

2020-06-23gdb: New maintenance command to print XML target descriptionAndrew Burgess1-0/+6
This commit adds a new maintenance command that dumps the current target description as an XML document. This is a maintenance command as I currently only see this being useful for GDB developers, or for people debugging a new remote target. By default the command will print whatever the current target description is, whether this was delivered by the remote, loaded by the user from a file, or if it is a built in target within GDB. The command can also take an optional filename argument. In this case GDB loads a target description from the file, and then reprints it. This could be useful for testing GDB's parsing of target descriptions, or to check that GDB can successfully parse a particular XML description. It is worth noting that the XML description printed will not be an exact copy of the document fed into GDB. For example this minimal input file: <target> <feature name="abc"> <reg name="r1" bitsize="32"/> </feature> </target> Will produce this output: (gdb) maint print xml-tdesc path/to/file.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE target SYSTEM "gdb-target.dtd"> <target> <feature name="abc"> <reg name="r1" bitsize="32" type="int" regnum="0"/> </feature> </target> Notice that GDB filled in both the 'type' and 'regnum' fields of the <reg>. I think this is actually a positive as it means we get to really understand how GDB processed the document, if GDB made some assumptions that differ to those the user expected then hopefully this will bring those issues to the users attention. To implement this I have tweaked the output produced by the print_xml_feature which is defined within the gdbsupport/ directory. The changes I have made to this class are: 1. The <architecture>...</architecture> tags are now not produced if the architecture name is NULL. 2. The <osabi>...</osabi> tags get a newline at the end. 3. And, the whole XML document is indented using white space in a nested fashion (as in the example output above). I think that these changes should be fine, the print_xml_feature class is used: 1. In gdbserver to generate an XML document to send as the target description to GDB. 2. In GDB as part of a self-check function, a target_desc is converted to XML then parsed back into a target_desc. We then check the before and after target_desc objects are the same. 3. In the new 'maint print xml-tdesc' command. In all of these use cases adding the extra white space should be fine. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: * tdesc.cc (print_xml_feature::visit_pre): Use add_line to add output content, and call indent as needed in all overloaded variants. (print_xml_feature::visit_post): Likewise. (print_xml_feature::visit): Likewise.

2020-05-23Add completion stylingTom Tromey1-0/+11
Readline has a styling feature for completion -- if it is enabled, the common prefix of completions will be displayed in a different style. This doesn't work in gdb, because gdb implements its own completer. This patch implements the feature. However, it doesn't directly use the Readline feature, because gdb can do a bit better: it can let the user control the styling using the existing mechanisms. This version incorporates an Emacs idea, via Eli: style the prefix, the "difference character", and the suffix differently. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-05-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * NEWS: Add entry for completion styling. * completer.c (_rl_completion_prefix_display_length): Move declaration earlier.

2020-05-19Make exec-file-mismatch compare build IDsPedro Alves1-8/+7
The patch makes GDB do exec-file-mismatch validation by comparing build IDs instead of the current method of comparing filenames. Currently, the exec-file-mismatch feature simply compares filenames to decide whether the exec file loaded in gdb and the exec file the target reports is running match. This causes false positives when remote debugging, because it'll often be the case that the paths in the host and the target won't match. And of course misses the case of the files having the same name but being actually different files (e.g., different builds). This also broke many testcases when running against gdbserver, causing tests to be skipped like (here native-extended-gdbserver): (gdb) run Starting program: /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/argv0-symlink/argv0-symlink-filelink warning: Mismatch between current exec-file /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/argv0-symlink/argv0-symlink-filelink and automatically determined exec-file /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/argv0-symlink/argv0-symlink exec-file-mismatch handling is currently "ask" Load new symbol table from "/home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/argv0-symlink/argv0-symlink"?

The latter case is about GDB realizing that one file is a copy of the other. Over the years, the toolchain has settled on build ID matching being the canonical method to match core dumps to executables, and executables with no debug info to their debug info. This patch makes us use build IDs to match the running image of a binary with its version loaded in gdb, which may or may not have debug info. This is very much like the core dump/executable matching. The change to gdb_bfd_open is necessary to get rid of the "transfers from remote targets can be slow" warning when we open the remote file to read its build ID: (gdb) r Starting program: /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/break/break Reading /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/argv0-symlink/argv0-symlink from remote target... warning: File transfers from remote targets can be slow.

(y or n) While trying this out, I was worried that bfd would read a lot of stuff from the binary in order to extract the build ID, making it potentially slow, but turns out we don't read all that much. Maybe a couple hundred bytes, and most of it seemingly is the read-ahead cache. So I'm not worried about that. Otherwise I'd consider whether a new qXfer:buildid:read would be better.

2020-03-02gdb: Allow GDB to _not_ load a previous command historyAndrew Burgess1-0/+6
This commit aims to give a cleaner mechanism by which the user can prevent GDB from trying to load any previous command history. Currently the user can change the path to the history file, either using a command line flag, or by setting the GDBHISTFILE environment variable, and if the path is set to a non-existent file, then obviously GDB wont load any command history. However, this feels like a bit of a bodge, I'd like to add an official mechanism by which we can disable command history loading. Why would we want to prevent command history loading? The specific use case I have is GDB starting with a CWD that is a network mounted directory, and there is no command history present. Still GDB will access the network in order to check for the file. In my particular use case I'm actually starting a large number of GDB instances in parallel, all in the same network mounted directory, the large number of network accesses looking for this file introduces a noticeable delay at GDB startup. The approach I'm proposing here is a slight adjustment to the current rules for setting up the history filename. Currently, if a user does this, they see an error: (gdb) set history filename Argument required (filename to set it to.). However, if a user does this: $ GDBHISTFILE= gdb --quiet (gdb) set history save on (gdb) q warning: Could not rename -gdb18416~ to : No such file or directory So, we already have a bug in this area. My plan is to allow the empty filename to be accepted, and for this to mean, neither load, nor save the command history. This does mean that we now have two mechanisms to prevent saving the command history: (gdb) set history filename or (gdb) set history save off But the only way to prevent loading the command history is to set the filename to the empty string _before_ you get to a GDB prompt, either using a command line option, or the environment variable. I've updated some of the show commands, for example this session: (gdb) set history filename (gdb) show history filename There is no filename currently set for recording the command history in. (gdb) show history save Saving of the history record on exit is off. (gdb) set history save on (gdb) show history save Saving of the history is disabled due to the value of 'history filename'. (gdb) set history filename /tmp/hist (gdb) show history save Saving of the history record on exit is on. I've updated the manual, and added some tests. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention new behaviour of the history filename. * top.c (write_history_p): Add comment. (show_write_history_p): Add header comment, give a different message when history writing is on, but the history filename is empty. (history_filename): Add comment.

2020-02-26Add debuginfod support to GDBAaron Merey1-0/+14
debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP. This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them. GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure option. This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time. debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178. For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.

2020-02-22Add the "tui new-layout" commandTom Tromey1-0/+4
This adds a new command, "tui new-layout". This command can be used to define a new TUI window layout. The command is used like: (gdb) tui new-layout name src 1 regs 1 status 0 cmd 1 The first argument is the name of the layout. In this example, it is "name", so the new layout could be seen by "layout name". Subsequent arguments come in pairs, where the first item in a pair is the name of a window, and the second item in a pair is the window's weight. A weight is just an integer -- a window's allocated size is proportional to the total of the weights given. So, in the above example, all windows will have the same size (the status windows's weight does not matter, because it has fixed height). gdb/ChangeLog 2020-02-22 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * NEWS: Add "tui new-layout" item. * tui/tui-layout.c (add_layout_command): Return cmd_list_element.

2019-11-25[Debugging output] Make remote packet truncation length adjustableLuis Machado1-0/+6
While debugging, i felt the need to adjust the truncation length of remote packets so i could see more or less data as needed. The default is currently set to 512 bytes. This patch makes this option adjustable through the new "set debug remote-packet-max-chars" command. It can be set to unlimited if we want to completely disable truncation.

2019-11-12Make TUI resizing tests more robustTom Tromey1-0/+6
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. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-11-12 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * tui/tui-win.c (resize_message): New global. (show_tui_resize_message): New function.

2019-11-10gdb/python: Introduce gdb.lookup_static_symbolsAndrew Burgess1-0/+3
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). gdb/ChangeLog: * python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols): New function. * python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols): Declare new function. * python/python.c (python_GdbMethods): Add gdb.lookup_static_symbols method. * NEWS: Mention gdb.lookup_static_symbols. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Add test for gdb.lookup_static_symbols. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * python.texi (Symbols In Python): Add documentation for gdb.lookup_static_symbols.

2019-11-04Obsolete Solaris 10 supportRainer Orth1-0/+5
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). * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.3): Document Solaris 10 removal. * configure.host: Mark *-*-solaris2.10* obsolete. * configure.tgt: Mark Solaris < 11 obsolete. * MAINTAINERS (Target Instruction Set Architectures) <sparc>: Update target triplet.
2019-10-31gdb: Add new commands to list module variables and functionsAndrew Burgess1-0/+14
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. gdb/ChangeLog: * symtab.c (info_module_cmdlist): New variable.

2019-10-31gdb/fortran: Add new 'info modules' commandAndrew Burgess1-0/+4
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.
