Also stores the result in a thread-local static variable and
changes the return value to a const char*.
This is already important because Guile creates threads and
Python can create threads, but with the patch series here:
https://gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io/r/c/binutils-gdb/+/176
GDB itself will create threads, too.

Adds a configure option --with-system-gdbinit-dir to specify a directory
in which to look for gdbinit files. All files in this directory are
loaded on startup (subject to -n/-nx as usual) as long as the extension
matches a known and enabled scripting language (.gdb/.py/.scm).
This also changes get_ext_lang_of_file to support ".gdb" files, similar
to get_ext_lang_defn's handling of EXT_LANG_GDB.

The only use of python_has_threads has been removed in
commit 404f29021abaef86a341663444fb069eb1f0282a

The version checking code is not necessary. It is only used to define
HAVE_LIBPYTHON2_6 or HAVE_LIBPYTHON2_7, which is not used anywhere.
If a version check is desired, the PY_{MAJOR,MINOR}_VERSION macro from
the Python headers can be (and is) used, which does not require updating
configure.ac whenever a new Python version is released.

I noticed that gdbsupport uses HAVE_SIGPROCMASK, but common.m4 does
not check for it. This means that gdbserver may not compile some
gdbsupport code properly. This patch fixes this error.

XXHash is faster than htab_hash_string:
------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Time CPU Iterations
------------------------------------------------------------
BM_xxh3 11 ns 11 ns 65887249
BM_xxh32 19 ns 19 ns 36511877
BM_xxh64 16 ns 16 ns 42964585
BM_hash_string 182 ns 182 ns 3853125
BM_iterative_hash 77 ns 77 ns 9087638
Unfortunately, XXH3 is still experimental (see
https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash#user-content-new-experimental-hash-algorithm)
However, regular XXH64 is still a lot faster than
htab_hash_string per my benchmark above. I used the
following string for the benchmark:
static constexpr char str[] = "_ZZZL13make_gdb_typeP7gdbarchP10tdesc_typeEN16gdb_type_creator19make_gdb_type_flagsEPK22tdesc_type_with_fieldsE19__PRETTY_FUNCTION__";
htab_hash_string is currently 4.35% + 7.98% (rehashing) of gdb
startup when attaching to Chrome's content_shell.
An additional 5.21% is spent in msymbol_hash, which does not use
this hash function. Unfortunately, since it has to lowercase the
string, it can't use this hash function.
BM_msymbol_hash 52 ns 52 ns 13281495
It may be worth investigating if strlen+XXHash is still faster than
htab_hash_string, which would make it easier to use in more places.
Debian ships xxhash as libxxhash{0,-dev}. Fedora ships it as xxhash-devel.

* Makefile.in: Link with libxxhash.
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.

My earlier patch -- commit c5adaa192 ("Fix creation of stamp-h by
gdb's configure script") -- broke the creation of nm.h. In
particular, configure removes nm.h, so if you touch configure and
rebuild, nothing will re-create the link, breaking the build.
This patch fixes the bug, and also updates configure.ac to use
AC_CONFIG_LINKS, rather than the obsolete AC_LINK_FILES.
Finally, I noticed that gcore is in generated_files in the
Makefile.in. I think this is incorrect, as generated_files is only
needed for files that can be the target of a #include. So, this patch
removes it.

I happened to notice that "make" would always print:
CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h:config.in \
CONFIG_COMMANDS="default depdir" \
CONFIG_FILES= \
CONFIG_LINKS= \
/bin/sh config.status
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
on every rebuild. This seems to have changed due to an autoconf
upgrade at some point in the past. In the autoconf gdb uses now, it
works to use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS and then create the stamp file via the
"commands" argument.
This patch also fixes up Makefile.in to use the new-style
config.status invocation. It's no longer necessary to pass the output
file names via environment variables.

Currently, no release of GNU Source Highlight supports Rust. However,
I've checked in a patch to do so there, and I plan to make a new
release sometime this summer.
This patch prepares gdb for that by adding support for Rust to the
source highlighting code.
Because Source Highlight will throw an exception if the language is
unrecognized, this also changes gdb to ignore exceptions here. This
will cause gdb to fall back to un-highlighted source text.
This updates gdb's configure script to reject the combination of
Source Highlight and -static-libstdc++. This is done because it's not
possible to use -static-libstdc++ and then catch exceptions from a
shared library.
Tested with the current and development versions of Source Highlight.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-08-19 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* configure: Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Disallow the combination of -static-libstdc++ and
source highlight.

This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function.
It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is
thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any
library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these
functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc
ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is
apparently itself being slowly deprecated.
So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the
autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No
testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

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.

This patch moves the gdb/gnulib subdirectory to the top level.
It adjusts the top-level build system to build gnulib when necessary,
and changes gdb to use this. However, gdbserver still builds its own
copy of gnulib, just from the new source location.
A small hack was needed to ensure that gnulib is only built when gdb
is enabled. The Makefile only provides an ordering -- the directory
must be mentioned in configdirs to actually be compiled at all.
Most of the patch is just a "git mv" of gnulib, though a few minor
path adjustments were needed in some files there.
Tested by the buildbot.

PR tui/14126 notes that ANSI terminal escape sequences don't affect
the colors shown in the TUI. A simple way to see this is to try the
extended-prompt example from the gdb manual.
Curses does not pass escape sequences through to the terminal.
Instead, it replaces non-printable characters with a visible
representation, for example "^[" for the ESC character.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a simple ANSI terminal sequence
parser to gdb. These sequences are decoded and those that are
recognized are turned into the appropriate curses calls.
The curses approach to color handling is unusual and so there are some
oddities in the implementation.
Standard curses has no notion of the default colors of the terminal.
So, if you set the foreground color, it is not possible to reset it --
you have to pick some other color. ncurses provides an extension to
handle this, so this patch updates configure and uses it when
available.
Second, in curses, colors always come in pairs: you cannot set just
the foreground. This patch handles this by tracking actually-used
pairs of colors and keeping a table of these for reuse.
Third, there are a limited number of such pairs available. In this
patch, if you try to use too many color combinations, gdb will just
ignore some color changes.
Finally, in addition to limiting the number of color pairs, curses
also limits the number of colors. This means that, when using
extended 8- or 24-bit color sequences, it may be possible to exhaust
the curses color table.
I am very sour on the curses design now.
I do not know how to write a test for this, so I did not.

Not all sed implementations support alternation via \| in the default
regular expressions. Instead, resort to separate sed expressions via
-e for $debugdir and $datadir. This fixes the default setting of the

Building with mingw currently fails:
CXX unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.o
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.c: In function ‘void selftests::mkdir_recursive::test()’:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.c:49:20: error: ‘mkdtemp’ was not declared in this scope
if (mkdtemp (base) == NULL)
^
Commit
e418a61a67a ("Move mkdir_recursive to common/filestuff.c")
moved this code, but also removed the HAVE_MKDTEMP guard which prevented
the mkdtemp call to be compiled on mingw.
We can either put back the HAVE_MKDTEMP ifdef, or import the gnulib
mkdtemp module, which provides the function for mingw. Since the
mkdir_recursive is susceptible to be used on mingw at some point, I
think it would be nice to have it tested on mingw, so I did the latter.
Once built, I tested it on Windows (copied the resulting gdb.exe on a
Windows machine, ran it, and ran "maint selftest mkdir_recursive"). It
failed, because the temporary directory is hardcoded to "/tmp/...". I
therefore added and used a new get_standard_temp_dir function, which
returns an appropriate temporary directory for the host platform.

This is a follow-up of:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-08/msg00347.html
Instead of going throttle and always enabling our selftests (even in
non-development builds), this patch is a bit more conservative and
introduces a configure option ("--enable-unit-tests") that allows the
user to choose whether she wants unit tests in the build or not. Note
that the current behaviour is retained: if no option is provided, GDB
will have selftests included in a development build, and will *not*
have selftests included in a non-development build.
The rationale for having this option is still the same: due to the
many racy testcases and random failures we see when running the GDB
testsuite, it is unfortunately not possible to perform a full test
when one is building a downstream package. As the Fedora GDB
maintainer and one of the Debian GDB uploaders, I feel like this
situation could be improved by, at least, executing our selftests
after the package has been built.
This patch introduces no regressions to our build.
OK?

The Python CFLAGS include -DNDEBUG. This was apparently done
intentionally -- setting the flags is done manually because, according
to a comment, python-config passes too many things to the compiler
(which is true).
Per PR python/20445, this patch changes configure so that -DNDEBUG is
only used by release builds. This probably doesn't have very much
effect in practice, but I did see that some Python headers use assert,
so perhaps it will give some safety.

There was a report on irc that the gdb check for mpfr failed when only
static libraries are available. The issue is that mpfr depends on
gmp, but this is not handled explicitly by gdb.
Ideally upstream would switch to pkg-config. Or even more ideally, we
would incorporate pkg-config into the compiler and not mess with any
of this.
Meanwhile, this changes gdb's configure to add gmp to the link line

After looking into why the build failed for Simon but not for me, we
found that the underlying cause was due to how gcc treats
-Wformat-nonliteral. gcc requires -Wformat to be given first; but
warning.m4 was not doing this, so -Wformat-nonliteral was not being
used.
This patch changes warning.m4 to account gcc's requirement.
This then showed that the target-float.c build change in the earlier
Makefile patch was also incorrect. Simon didn't see this in his
build, but gcc now points it out. So, this patch fixes this problem
as well.

configure checks for declarations of free, malloc, and realloc; but

I have thought for a long time how nice it would be to have cool pretty
printers for GDB's internal types. Well, turns out there are few
already in gdb-gdb.py! Unfortunately, if you build GDB outside of the
source directory, that file never gets loaded. top-gdb will look for a
file called
../path/to/build/gdb/gdb-gdb.py
but that file is in the source directory at
../path/to/src/gdb/gdb-gdb.py
This patch makes it so we copy it to the build directory, just like we
do for gdb-gdb.gdb. With this, I can at least see the file getting
automatically loaded:

global pretty-printers:

gdb-gdb.py.in. That's because it's copied when running the configure
script and that's it. I added a rule in the Makefile for that (and for
gdb-gdb.gdb too) and added them as a dependency to the "all" target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb-gdb.py: Move to...
* gdb-gdb.py.in: ... here.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gdb-gdb.py.
* Makefile.in (all): Add gdb-gdb.gdb and gdb-gdb.py as
dependencies.
(distclean): Remove gdb-gdb.py when cleaning.
(gdb-gdb.py, gdb-gdb.gdb): New rules.
* configure: Re-generate.

When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:
configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation
Solution 1:
Adjust the code based on the example at that URL.
Problem 2 (in zlib/):
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Solution 2:
Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
Problem 3:
doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.
Problem 9:
configure.ac:375: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body
../../lib/autoconf/lang.m4:193: AC_LANG_CONFTEST is expanded from...

../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2063: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from...
configure.ac:375: the top level
Solution 9:
Use AC_LANG_SOURCE, or use proper quoting.
Problem 10 (in intl/):

Simon pointed out that gdb would not build with clang, due to the
addition of -Wimplicit-fallthrough. This patch fixes the problem by
using -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 -- this does not work with clang,
bypassing the issue.
Tested by rebuilding with both gcc and clang; and also by verifying
that -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 is used in the gcc build.
I will file a follow-up bug to convert the fall-through comments to a
form that can be used by both clang and gcc.

This adds -Wduplicated-cond to warnings.m4. This caught one bug.
I tried adding -Wduplicated-branches as well, but it results in some
spurious failures from code like this in cgen.h:
#define CGEN_ATTR_TYPE(n) \
struct { unsigned int bool_; \
CGEN_ATTR_VALUE_TYPE nonbool[(n) ? (n) : 1]; }
This will trigger a warning if passed n==1, which seems like a
perfectly valid thing to do; and there were other issues like this as
well.

Configure uses "gcc -o conftest -g ... conftest.c -ldl -lncurses -lm -ldl
... -lpthread ... -lpython2.7" when deciding whether give libpython is
usable.
That of course is the wrong link order, and only works for shared libraries
(mostly by accident), and only on some systems.

I noticed the existence of -Wsuggest-override and so this patch
enables it for gdb. It found a few spots that could use "override".
Also I went ahead and removed all uses of the "OVERRIDE" macro.
Using override is beneficial because it makes it harder to change a
base class and then forget to change a derived class.
Tested by the buildbot.

Pedro pointed out that gdb/configure and gdbserver/configure weren't

This patch rebuilds those files. Tested by rebuilding. Pedro
approved this in the thread where he raised this issue, so I'm pushing
it in.
