* NEWS: Mention x86_64 Cygwin core file support.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

* tdesc.cc (print_xml_feature::visit_pre): Use add_line to add
output content, and call indent as needed in all overloaded

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.

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

The former case is about GDB not realizing the two files are the same,
because one of the them is a symlink to the other. 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

Load new symbol table from "/home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/argv0-symlink/argv0-symlink"? (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. But I'm happy that we
seemingly don't need to worry about it.

This changes the gdb Python API to add support for dynamic types. In
particular, this adds an attribute to gdb.Type, and updates some
attributes to reflect dynamic sizes and field offsets.
There's still no way to get the dynamic type from one of its concrete
instances. This could perhaps be added if needed.

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.

(show_write_history_p): Add header comment, give a different

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/.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 31.

This changes the TUI layout engine to add horizontal splitting. Now,
windows can be side-by-side.
A horizontal split is defined using the "-horizontal" parameter to
"tui new-layout".
This also adds the first "winheight" test to the test suite. One open
question is whether we want a new "winwidth" command, now that
horizontal layouts are possible. This is easily done using the
generic layout code.

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).

Uses the $_siginfo convenience variable to show the last exception.
The type looks like this:
(gdb) pt $_siginfo
type = struct EXCEPTION_RECORD {
DWORD ExceptionCode;
DWORD ExceptionFlags;
struct EXCEPTION_RECORD *ExceptionRecord;
PVOID ExceptionAddress;
DWORD NumberParameters;
ULONG_PTR ExceptionInformation[15];
}
EXCEPTION_RECORD is documented at [1].
Example:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
main () at crasher.c:4
4 *(int*)0x123 = 0;
(gdb) p $_siginfo
$1 = {
ExceptionCode = 3221225477,
ExceptionFlags = 0,
ExceptionRecord = 0x0,
ExceptionAddress = 0x401632 <main+18>,
NumberParameters = 2,
ExceptionInformation = {1, 291, 0 <repeats 13 times>}
}
(gdb) p/x $_siginfo.ExceptionCode
$2 = 0xc0000005
(gdb) p/x $_siginfo.ExceptionInformation[1]
$3 = 0x123
And 0xc0000005 is the value of EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.

The source window currently uses a field width of 6 for line numbers,
and it further aligns to the next tab stop. This seemed a bit
wasteful of horizontal space to me, so I changed that in an earlier
patch.
However, that change wasn't universally popular. This patch instead
adds the option to use less horizontal space in the TUI source window.

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.
Update on v5:
- Adjusted function and variable documentation, NEWS entry and GDB manual.

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.

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).

* python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols): New
function.
* python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbols):
Declare new function.

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.

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.
