This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature. It does
most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and
your basic "with-classes" type of C++.
I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test
facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code"
testing. See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression
for more on that. The tests use this facility extensively.
This initial support has several glaring omissions:
- No template support at all
I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity
to this "basic" support. Consequently, they will be submitted separately.
- Cannot print functions
The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet.
- So-called "special function" support is not included
Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have
follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the
recent churn in symbol searching.
- There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs.
I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing
these patches.
The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but
I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in.
I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion
("debug compile-cplus-types").

When printing frames on an MI channel also print the frame
architecture like in:
(gdb)
-stack-list-frames 3 3
^done,stack=
[frame={level="3",addr="0x000107a4",func="foo",
file="recursive2.c",fullname="/home/foo/bar/recursive2.c",
line="14",arch="i386:x86_64"}]
(gdb)
This is useful for MI clients that need to know the architecture in
order to perform further analysis, for example to use their own
disassembler to analyze machine code.

Ref.: https://bugs.debian.org/904628
It has been reported that gcore's manpage is a bit imprecise when it
comes to two things:
- It doesn't explicity say that the command accepts more than one PID
on its CLI.
- It fails to mention that the argument passed through the "-o" option
is actually a prefix that will be used to compose the corefile's
filename, and not the actual filename.
I decided to give it a try and rewrite parts of the text to further
clarify these two points. I ended up rewording the "Description"
section because, IMHO, it was a bit confuse to understand.
To make things consistent, I've also renamed the "$name" variable in
the gcore.in script, and expanded the usage text.

Add a maintenance command to disable the DWARF stack unwinders.
Normal users would not need this feature, but it is useful to allow
extended testing of fallback stack unwinding strategies, for example,
prologue scanners.
This is a partial implementation of the idea discussed in pr gdb/8434,
which talks about a generic ability to disable any frame unwinder.
Being able to arbitrarily disable any frame unwinder would be a more
complex patch, and I was unsure how useful such a feature would really
be, however, I can see (and have) a real need to disable DWARF
unwinders. That's why this patch only targets that specific set of
unwinders.
If in the future we find ourselves adding more switches to disable
different unwinders, then we should probably move to a more generic
solution, and remove this patch.

* dwarf2-frame-tailcall.c (tailcall_frame_sniffer): Exit early if
DWARF unwinders are disabled.
* dwarf2-frame.c: Add dwarf2read.h include.

disabled.

This patch implements IPv6 support for both GDB and gdbserver. Based
on my research, it is the fourth attempt to do that since 2006. Since
I used ideas from all of the previous patches, I also added their
authors's names on the ChangeLogs as a way to recognize their
efforts. For reference sake, you can find the previous attempts at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-09/msg00192.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00248.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00226.html
The basic idea behind the patch is to start using the new
'getaddrinfo'/'getnameinfo' calls, which are responsible for
translating names and addresses in a protocol-independent way. This
means that if we ever have a new version of the IP protocol, we won't
need to change the code again (or, at least, won't have to change the
majority of the code).
The function 'getaddrinfo' returns a linked list of possible addresses
to connect to. Dealing with multiple addresses proved to be a hard
task with the current TCP auto-retry mechanism implemented on
ser-tcp:net_open. For example, when gdbserver listened only on an
IPv4 socket:
$ ./gdbserver --once 127.0.0.1:1234 ./a.out
and GDB was instructed to try to connect to both IPv6 and IPv4
sockets:
$ ./gdb -ex 'target extended-remote localhost:1234' ./a.out
the user would notice a somewhat big delay before GDB was able to
connect to the IPv4 socket. This happened because GDB was trying to
connect to the IPv6 socket first, and had to wait until the connection
timed out before it tried to connect to the IPv4 socket.
For that reason, I had to rewrite the main loop and implement a new
method for handling multiple connections. After some discussion,
Pedro and I agreed on the following algorithm:
1) For each entry returned by 'getaddrinfo', we try to open a socket
and connect to it.
2.a) If we have a successful 'connect', we just use that connection.
2.b) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
ECONNREFUSED (meaning the the connection was refused), we keep track
of this fact by using a flag.
2.c) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
EINPROGRESS (meaning that the connection is in progress), we perform
a 'select' call on the socket until we have a result (either a
successful connection, or an error on the socket).
3) If tcp_auto_retry is true, and we haven't gotten a successful
connection, and at least one of our attempts failed with
ECONNREFUSED, then we wait a little bit (i.e., call
'wait_for_connect'), check to see if there was a
timeout/interruption (in which case we bail out), and then go back
to (1).
After multiple tests, I was able to connect without delay on the
scenario described above, and was also able to connect in all other
types of scenarios.
I also implemented some hostname parsing functions (along with their
corresponding unit tests) which are used to help GDB and gdbserver to
parse hostname strings provided by the user. These new functions are
living inside common/netstuff.[ch]. I've had to do that since IPv6
introduces a new URL scheme, which defines that square brackets can be
used to enclose the host part and differentiate it from the
port (e.g., "[::1]:1234" means "host ::1, port 1234"). I spent some
time thinking about a reasonable way to interpret what the user wants,
and I came up with the following:
- If the user has provided a prefix that doesn't specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp:" or "udp:"), or if the user has not provided
any prefix, don't make any assumptions (i.e., assume AF_UNSPEC when
dealing with 'getaddrinfo') *unless* the host starts with "[" (in
which case, assume it's an IPv6 host).
- If the user has provided a prefix that does specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp4:", "tcp6:", "udp4:" or "udp6:"), then respect
that.
This method doesn't follow strictly what RFC 2732 proposes (that
literal IPv6 addresses should be provided enclosed in "[" and "]")
because IPv6 addresses still can be provided without square brackets
in our case, but since we have prefixes to specify protocol versions I
think this is not an issue.
Another thing worth mentioning is the new 'GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST'
testcase parameter, which makes it possible to specify the
hostname (without the port) to be used when testing GDB and
gdbserver. For example, to run IPv6 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp6:[::1]'
Or, to run IPv4 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp4:127.0.0.1'
This required a few changes on the gdbserver-base.exp, and also a
minimal adjustment on gdb.server/run-without-local-binary.exp.
Finally, I've implemented a new testcase,
gdb.server/server-connect.exp, which is supposed to run on the native
host and perform various "smoke tests" using different connection
methods.
This patch has been regression-tested on BuildBot and locally, and
also built using a x86_64-w64-mingw32 GCC, and no problems were found.

Switch to use add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd for some of the
control variables in remote.c. The variables
hardware-watchpoint-limit, hardware-breakpoint-limit, and
hardware-watchpoint-length-limit are all changed. For example, a user
will now see this:
(gdb) show remote hardware-breakpoint-limit
The maximum number of target hardware breakpoints is unlimited.
Instead of this:
(gdb) show remote hardware-breakpoint-limit
The maximum number of target hardware breakpoints is -1.
And can do this:
(gdb) set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit unlimited
However, previously any negative value implied "unlimited", now only
-1, or the text "unlimited" can be used for unlimited. Any other
negative value will give an error about invalid input. This is a
small change in the user interface, but, hopefully, this will not
cause too many problems.
I've also added show functions for these three variables to allow for
internationalisation.

Implement MIPS target support for passing options to the disassembler,
complementing commit 65b48a81404c ("GDB: Add support for the new
set/show disassembler-options commands.").
This includes options that expect an argument, so adjust the generic
code and data structures used so as to handle such options. So as to
give backends syntax flexibility no specific delimiter has been defined
to separate options from their respective arguments, so it has to be
included as the last character of the option name. Completion code
however has not been adjusted and consequently option arguments cannot
be completed at this time.
Also the MIPS target has non-empty defaults for the options, so that ABI
names for the general-purpose registers respect our `set mips abi ...'
setting rather than always being determined from the ELF headers of the
binary file selected. Handle these defaults as implicit options, never
shown to the user and always prepended to the user-specified options, so
that the latters can override the defaults.
The resulting output for the MIPS target is as follows:
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''
The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:
no-aliases Use canonical instruction forms.
msa Recognize MSA instructions.
virt Recognize the virtualization ASE instructions.
xpa Recognize the eXtended Physical Address (XPA) ASE
instructions.
ginv Recognize the Global INValidate (GINV) ASE instructions.

which corresponds to what `objdump --help' used to print for the MIPS
target, with minor formatting changes, most notably option argument
lists being wrapped, but also the amount of white space separating
options from the respective descriptions. The relevant part the new
code is now also used by `objdump --help', which means these formatting
changes apply to both outputs, except for argument list wrapping, which
is GDB-specific.

The (first) .text section must be always specified as the second

there's 'continue' and 'continue&', and both are listed individually in the

This patch adds an '&' in the 'Concept Index':

This commit adds two new commands which may be used to test thread
debugging libraries used by GDB:
* "maint check libthread-db" tests the thread debugging library GDB
is using for the current inferior.
* "maint set/show check-libthread-db" selects whether libthread_db
tests should be run automatically as libthread_db is auto-loaded.
The default is to not run tests automatically.
The test itself is a basic integrity check exercising all libthread_db
functions used by GDB on GNU/Linux systems. By extension this also
exercises the proc_service functions provided by GDB that libthread_db
uses.
This functionality is useful for NPTL developers and libthread_db
developers. It could also prove useful investigating bugs reported
against GDB where the thread debugging library or GDB's proc_service
layer is suspect.

This adds a "continue" response to the pager. If the user types "c"
in response to the pager prompt, pagination will be disabled for the
duration of one command -- but re-enabled afterward. This is handy if
you type a command that produces a lot of output, and you don't want
to baby-sit it by typing "return" each time the prompt comes up.

It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI
will print the "set" help text by default. I think usually "set"
commands should be silent. And, while you can modify this behavior a
bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an
empty string, a blank line will be printed.
This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string
behavior to avoid printing a blank line. The code has a comment about
preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important;
and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is
trivial.

This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at
each call, this is not exposed to Python; it could be, but I think
it's just as good to write a convenience function in this situation.
This is PR python/23080.

Use the last endianness explicitly selected, either by choosing a binary
file or with the `set endian' command, for future automatic selection.
As observed with the `gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp' test case when
discarding the binary file even while connected to a live target the
endianness automatically selected is reset to the GDB target's default,
even if it does not match the endianness of the target being talked to.
For example with a little-endian MIPS target and the default endianness
being big we get this:
(gdb) file .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols/step-over-no-symbols

which shows that with the removal of the executable debugged the
endianness of $pc still at `main' gets swapped and the value in that
register is now incorrectly interpreted as 0x40084000 rather than
0x400840 as shown earlier on with the `break' command. Consequently the
debug session no longer works as expected, until the endianness is
overridden with an explicit `set endian little' command.
This will happen while working with any target hardware whose endianness
does not match the default GDB target's endianness guessed and recorded
for a later use in `initialize_current_architecture'.
Given that within a single run of GDB it is more likely that consecutive
target connections will use the same endianness than that the endianness
will be swapped between connections, it makes sense to preserve the last
endianness explicitly selected as the automatic default. It will make a
session like above, where an executable is removed, work correctly and
will retain the endianness for a further reconnection to the target.
And the new automatic default will still be overridden by subsequently
choosing a binary to debug, or with an explicit `set endian' command.
With the change in place the test case above completes successfully:

GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x400840

This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x400840 for code which looks like the beginning of a

The GDB commands "info variables", "info functions", and "info types" show
the appropriate list of definitions matching the given pattern. They also
group them by source files. But no line numbers within these source files
are shown.
The line number information is particularly useful to the user when a
simple "grep" doesn't readily point to a definition. This is often the
case when the definition involves a macro, occurs within a namespace, or
when the identifier appears very frequently in the source file.
This patch enriches the printout of these commands by the line numbers and
adjusts affected test cases to the changed output where necessary. The
new output looks like this:
(gdb) i variables
All defined variables:
File foo.c:
3: const char * const foo;
1: int x;
The line number is followed by a colon and a tab character, which is then
followed by the symbol definition. If no line number is available, the
tab is printed out anyhow, so definitions line up.

Add new set/show commands to set the processor that is used for enabling
errata workarounds when decoding branch trace.
The general format is "<vendor>:<identifier>" but we also allow two
special values "auto" and "none".
The default is "auto", which is the current behaviour of having GDB
determine the processor on which the trace was recorded.
If that cpu is not known to the trace decoder, e.g. when using an old
decoder on a new system, decode may fail with "unknown cpu". In most
cases it should suffice to 'downgrade' decode to assume an older cpu.
Unfortunately, we can't do this automatically.
The other special value, "none", disables errata workarounds.

This is a command we somehow forgot to contribute at the time the Ada
language was first contributed to the FSF. This command allows
the user to change the maximum size we allow when reading memory
from dynamic objects (the default is 65536 bytes).
At the moment, this limit is only used by Ada, and so the implementation
is kept inside ada-lang.c. However, it is conceivable that other language
might want to use it also to handle the same kind of issues; for instance,
this might be useful when handling dynamic types in C. So the name
of the setting was made language-neutral, to allow for this.
Note that an alias for "set var" needs to be introduced as well.
We are not adding a test for that, since this is a feature that is
already exercized by numerous existing tests.

When a frame filter elides some frames, they are still printed by
"bt", indented a few spaces. PR backtrace/15582 notes that it would
be nice for users if elided frames could simply be dropped. This
patch adds this capability.

The backtrace command has peculiar command-line parsing. In
particular, it splits the command line, then loops over the arguments.
If it sees a word it recognizes, like "full", it effectively drops
this word from the argument vector. Then, it pastes together the
remaining arguments, passing them on to backtrace_command_1, which in
turn passes the resulting string to parse_and_eval_long.
The documentation doesn't mention the parse_and_eval_long at all, so
it is a bit of a hidden feature that you can "bt 3*2". The strange
algorithm above also means you can "bt 3 * no-filters 2" and get 6
frames...
This patch changes backtrace's command line parsing to be a bit more
rational. Now, special words like "full" are only recognized at the
start of the command.
This also updates the documentation to describe the various bt options
individually.

This converts observers from using a special source-generating script
to be plain C++. This version of the patch takes advantage of C++11
by using std::function and variadic templates; incorporates Pedro's
patches; and renames the header file to "observable.h" (this change
eliminates the need for a clean rebuild).
Note that Pedro's patches used a template lambda in tui-hooks.c, but
this failed to compile on some buildbot instances (presumably due to
differing C++ versions); I replaced this with an ordinary template
function.
Regression tested on the buildbot.

The "gdb-add-index" script has been resurrected on:
commit caf26be91a584ef141ac5d3cb31007731af8b8e3
Author: Samuel Bronson <naesten@gmail.com>
Date: Fri Nov 15 16:09:33 2013 -0500
Resurrect gdb-add-index as a contrib script
However, for some reason (I couldn't find it in the archives), only
the script has been checked-in; the Makefile parts responsible for
installing it in the system were left out. This commit fixes that, by
also resurrecting the Makefile and documentation bits.
This commit is part of our effort to upstream the local Fedora GDB
changes. With this commit, we'll only carry a very small
Fedora-specific modification to the script.

Document support for 'info proc' on FreeBSD.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (pwd): Fix whitespace.

Since the 'info proc' support on FreeBSD does not use /proc, reword
the documentation for 'info proc' to not assume /proc. This includes
renaming the node to 'Process Information' and suggesting that
additional process information can be queried via different
OS-specific interfaces. This is also cleans up the description of
'info proc' support for core files a bit as /proc is not used for core
file support on any current platform.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Document that 'info proc' now works on FreeBSD.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (pwd): Update cross-reference for Process Information
node and remove explicit /proc reference.
(Native): Rename subsection from SVR4 Process Information to
Process Information.
(Process Information): Reword introduction to be less /proc
centric. Document support for "info proc" on FreeBSD.
