2019-07-09Rename common to gdbsupportTom Tromey1-2/+2
This is the next patch in the ongoing series to move gdbsever to the top level. This patch just renames the "common" directory. The idea is to do this move in two parts: first rename the directory (this patch), then move the directory to the top. This approach makes the patches a bit more tractable. I chose the name "gdbsupport" for the directory. However, as this patch was largely written by sed, we could pick a new name without too much difficulty. Tested by the buildbot. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-07-09 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * contrib/ari/gdb_ari.sh: Change common to gdbsupport. * configure: Rebuild. * configure.ac: Change common to gdbsupport. *

2019-07-03Teach gdb::option about string optionsPedro Alves1-0/+21
A following patch will make the "pipe" command use the gdb::option framework for option processing. However, "pipe"'s only option today is a string option, "-d DELIM", and gdb::option does not support string options yet. This commit adds support for string options, mapped to var_string. For now, a string is parsed up until the first whitespace. I imagine that we'll need to add support for quoting so that we could do: (gdb) cmd -option 'some -string' without gdb confusing the "-string" for an option. This doesn't seem important for pipe, so I'm leaving it for another day. One thing I'm not happy with, is that the string data is managed as a raw malloc-allocated char *, which means that we need to xfree it manually. This is because var_string settings work that way too. Although with var_string settings we're leaking the strings at gdb exit, that was never really a problem. For options though, leaking is undesirable. I think we should tackle that for both settings and options at the same time, so for now I'm just managing the malloced data manually. It's a bit ugly in option_def_and_value, but at least that's hidden from view. For testing, this adds a new "-string" option to "maint test-settings", and then tweaks gdb.base/options.exp to exercise it. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-07-03 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * cli/cli-option.c (union option_value) <string>: New field.

2019-06-13Introduce generic command options frameworkPedro Alves1-0/+335
This commit adds a generic command options framework, that makes it easy enough to add '-'-style options to commands in a uniform way, instead of each command implementing option parsing in its own way. Options are defined in arrays of option_def objects (for option definition), and the same options definitions are used for supporting TAB completion, and also for generating the relevant help fragment of the "help" command. See the gdb::options::build_help function, which returns a string with the result of replacing %OPTIONS% in a template string with an auto-generated "help" string fragment for all the passed-in options. Since most options in GDB are in the form of "-OPT", with a single dash, this is the format that the framework supports. I like to think of gdb's "-OPT" as the equivalent to getopt's long options format ("--OPT"), and gdb's "/" as the equivalent to getopt's short options format. getopt's short options format allows mixing several one-character options, like "ls -als", kind of similar to gdb's "x /FMT" and "disassemble /MOD", etc. While with gdb's "-" options, the option is expected to have a full name, and to be abbreviatable. E.g., "watch -location", "break -function main", etc. This patch only deals with "-" options. The above comment serves more to disclose why I don't think we should support mixing several unrelated options in a single "-" option invocation, like "thread apply -qcs" instead of "thread apply -q -c -s". The following patches will add uses of the infrastructure to several key commands. Most notably, "print", "compile print", "backtrace", "frame apply" and "thread apply". I tried to add options to several commands in order to make sure the framework didn't leave that many open holes open. Options use the same type as set commands -- enum var_types. So boolean options are var_boolean, enum options are var_enum, etc. The idea is to share code between settings commands and command options. The "print" options will be based on the "set print" commands, and their names will be the same. Actually, their definitions will be the same too. There is a function to create "set/show" commands from an array for option definitions: /* Install set/show commands for options defined in OPTIONS. DATA is a pointer to the structure that holds the data associated with the OPTIONS array. */ extern void add_setshow_cmds_for_options (command_class cmd_class, void *data, gdb::array_view<const option_def> options, struct cmd_list_element **set_list, struct cmd_list_element **show_list); That will be used by several following patches. Other features: - You can use the "--" delimiter to explicitly indicate end of options. Several existing commands use this token sequence for this effect already, so this just standardizes it. - You can shorten option names, as long as unambiguous. Currently, some commands allow this (e.g., break -function), while others do not (thread apply all -ascending). As GDB allows abbreviating command names and other things, it feels more GDB-ish to allow abbreviating option names too, to me. - For boolean options, 0/1 stands for off/on, just like with boolean "set" commands. - For boolean options, "true" is implied, just like with boolean "set commands. These are the option types supported, with a few examples: - boolean options (var_boolean). The option's argument is optional. (gdb) print -pretty on -- *obj (gdb) print -pretty off -- *obj (gdb) print -p -- *obj (gdb) print -p 0 -- *obj - flag options (like var_boolean, but no option argument (on/off)) (gdb) thread apply all -s COMMAND - enum options (var_enum) (gdb) bt -entry-values compact (gdb) bt -e c - uinteger options (var_uinteger) (gdb) print -elements 100 -- *obj (gdb) print -e 100 -- *obj (gdb) print -elements unlimited -- *obj (gdb) print -e u -- *obj - zuinteger-unlimited options (var_zuinteger_unlimited) (gdb) print -max-depth 100 -- obj (gdb) print -max-depth -1 -- obj (gdb) print -max-depth unlimited -- obj Other var_types could be supported, of course. These were just the types that I needed for the commands that I ported over, in the following patches. It was interesting (and unfortunate) to find that we need at least 3 different modes to cover the existing commands: - Commands that require ending options with "--" if you specify any option: "print" and "compile print". - Commands that do not want to require "--", and want to error out if you specify an unknown option (i.e., an unknown argument that starts with '-'): "compile code" / "compile file". - Commands that do not want to require "--", and want to process unknown options themselves: "bt", because of "bt -COUNT", "thread/frame apply", because "-" is a valid command. The different behavior is encoded in the process_options_mode enum, passed to process_options/complete_options. For testing, this patch adds one representative maintenance command for each of the process_options_mode values, that are used by the testsuite to exercise the options framework: (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-error (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-operand and adds another command to help with TAB-completion testing: (gdb) maint show test-options-completion-result See their description at the top of the maint-test-options.c file.
