The synopsis of the two-parameters form of the gdb.Value constructor is
currently shown as
Value.__init__ (val, [, type ])
in the documentation.
First, there is an extra comma, which I think we can remove in any
case.
Then, since the type parameter is not optional, I would not put in
between square brackets. Those usually indicate that something is
optional.
With this patch, it appears as:
Value.__init__ (val, type)

I missed those files which need to be updated manually when I did
the copyright year range update. The copyright.py script reminds
us of that fact with the following message at the end...
REMINDER: Multiple copyright headers must be updated by hand:

... and somehow I missed this. This commit makes the change for
gdb.texinfo and refcard.tex. gdbarch.sh is being updated separately
by Andrew Burgess.

This patch adds a table summarizing the history or MI versions:
- The version number
- Which GDB version introduced it
- Breaking changes compared to the previous version
The goal of the table is to help writers of front ends know which
version of MI they can use with a given GDB version. It will also help
them update their code to work against a newer MI version.
Right now, we just have 1 and 2, but we expect to add an entry for 3
soon. I did a bit of archelogy and reverse engineering of the code to
come up with the breaking changes for MI 2.
I did some changes to the text around it, some things that I thought
needed to be clarified, seemed a bit dated or seemed just wrong
(especially "Apart from mi0, new versions of @value{GDBN} will not
support old versions of MI").
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Development and Front Ends): Add table of
MI versions. Update text around it.

This patch defines pseudo-registers "v0" through "v31" as aliases that
map to the corresponding raw "vr0" through "vr31" vector registers for
Power.
The motivation behind this is that although GDB defines these
registers as "vrX", the disassembler prints them as "vX", e.g. as the
operands in instructions such as "vaddubm v2,v1,v1". This can be
confusing to users trying to print out the values of the operands
while inspecting the disassembled code.
The new aliases are made not to belong to any register group, to avoid
duplicated values in "info register vector" and "info register all".
The arch-specific rs6000_pseudo_register_reggroup_p function had
previously been removed since the other pseudo-registers could have
their groups inferred by their type. It restored with this patch to
handle the aliases. Membership for the other pseudo-registers is
still determined using the default function.
A new tests checks that GDB prints the expected values of vector
registers after they are filled by the inferior, by using both the raw
names and the aliases. Two other existing tests are modified to also
test the aliases.

An upcoming sync with gcc's libiberty [1] will remove support for old
mangling schemes (GNU v2, Lucid, ARM, HP and EDG). It will remove the
cplus_demangle_opname function, so we need to get rid of its usages in
GDB (it's a GNU v2 specific function).
I think the changes are mostly relatively obvious, some hacks that were
necessary to support overloaded operators with GNU v2 mangling are not
needed anymore.
The change in stabsread.c is perhaps less obvious. I think we could get
rid of more code in that region that is specific to old mangling
schemes, but I chose to do only the minimal changes required to remove
the cplus_demangle_opname uses. There is also a detailed comment just
above that explaining how GNU v2 and v3 mangled symbols are handled, I
decided to leave it as-is, since I wasn't sure which part to remove,
change or leave there.

Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.

When setting a syscall catchpoint by name, catch syscalls whose name
or alias matches the requested string.
When the ABI of a system call is changed in the FreeBSD kernel, this
is implemented by leaving a compatibility system call using the old
ABI at the existing "slot" and allocating a new system call for the
version using the new ABI. For example, new fields were added to the
'struct kevent' used by the kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12. The
previous kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12 kernels is now called
freebsd11_kevent() and is still used by older binaries compiled
against the older ABI. The freebsd11_kevent() system call can be
tagged with an "alias" attribute of "kevent" permitting 'catch syscall
kevent' to catch both system calls and providing the expected user
behavior for both old and new binaries. It also provides the expected
behavior if GDB is compiled on an older host (such as a FreeBSD 11
host).

This commit adds target description support for riscv.
I've used the split feature approach for specifying the architectural
features, and the CSR feature is auto-generated from the riscv-opc.h
header file.
If the target doesn't provide a suitable target description then GDB
will build one by looking at the bfd headers.
This commit does not implement target description creation for the
Linux or FreeBSD native targets, both of these will need to add
read_description methods into their respective target classes, which
probe the target features, and then call
riscv_create_target_description to build a suitable target
description. Until this is done Linux and FreeBSD will get the same
default target description based on the bfd that bare-metal targets
get.
I've only added feature descriptions for 32 and 64 bit registers, 128
bit registers (for RISC-V) are not supported in the reset of GDB yet.
This commit removes the special reading of the MISA register in order
to establish the target features, this was only used for figuring out
the f-register size, and even that wasn't done consistently. We now
rely on the target to tell us what size of registers it has (or look
in the BFD as a last resort). The result of this is that we should
now support RV64 targets with 32-bit float, though I have not
extensively tested this combination yet.

This patch adds support for Hardware Transactional Memory registers
for the powerpc linux native and core file targets, and for the
pwoerpc linux server stub.
These registers include both the HTM special-purpose registers (TFHAR,
TEXASR and TFIAR) as well as the set of registers that are
checkpointed (saved) when a transaction is initiated, which the
processor restores in the event of a transaction failure.
The set of checkpointed general-purpose registers is returned by the
linux kernel in the same format as the regular general-purpose
registers, defined in struct pt_regs. However, the architecture
specifies that only some of the registers present in pt_regs are
checkpointed (GPRs 0-31, CR, XER, LR and CTR). The kernel fills the
slots for MSR and NIP with other info. The other fields usually don't
have meaningful values. GDB doesn't define registers that are not
checkpointed in the architecture, but when generating a core file, GDB
fills the slot for the checkpointed MSR with the regular MSR. These
are usually similar, although some bits might be different, and in
some cases the checkpointed MSR will have a value of 0 in a
kernel-generated core-file. The checkpointed NIP is filled with TFHAR
by GDB in the core-file, which is what the kernel does. The other
fields are set to 0 by GDB.
Core files generated by the kernel have a note section for
checkpointed GPRs with the same size for both 32-bit and 64-bit
threads, and the values for the registers of a 32-bit thread are
squeezed in the first half, with no useful data in the second half.
GDB generates a smaller note section for 32-bit threads, but can read
both sizes.
The checkpointed XER is required to be 32-bit in the target
description documentation, even though the more recent ISAs define it
as 64-bit wide, since the high-order 32-bits are reserved, and because
in Linux there is no way to get a 64-bit checkpointed XER for 32-bit
threads. If this changes in the future, the target description
feature requirement can be relaxed to allow for a 64-bit checkpointed
XER.
Access to the checkpointed CR (condition register) can be confusing.
The architecture only specifies that CR fields 1 to 7 (the 24 least
significant bits) are checkpointed, but the kernel provides all 8
fields (32 bits). The value of field 0 is not masked by ptrace, so it
will sometimes show the result of some kernel operation, probably
treclaim., which sets this field.
The checkpointed registers are marked not to be saved and restored.
Inferior function calls during an active transaction don't work well,
and it's unclear what should be done in this case. TEXASR and TFIAR
can be altered asynchronously, during transaction failure recording,
so they are also not saved and restored. For consistency neither is
TFHAR.
Record and replay also doesn't work well when transactions are
involved. This patch doesn't address this, so the values of the HTM
SPRs will sometimes be innacurate when the record/relay target is
enabled. For instance, executing a "tbegin." alters TFHAR and TEXASR,
but these changes are not currently recorded.
Because the checkpointed registers are only available when a
transaction is active (or suspended), ptrace can return ENODATA when
gdb tries to read these registers and the inferior is not in a
transactional state. The registers are set to the unavailable state
when this happens. When gbd tries to write to one of these registers,
and it is unavailable, an error is raised.
The "fill" functions for checkpointed register sets in the server stub
are not implemented for the same reason as for the EBB register set,
since ptrace can also return ENODATA for checkpointed regsets. The
same issues with 'G' packets apply here.
Just like for the EBB registers, tracepoints will not mark the
checkpointed registers as unavailable if the inferior was not in a
transaction, so their content will also show 0 instead of
<unavailable> when inspecting trace data.
The new tests record the values of the regular registers before
stepping the inferior through a "tbegin." instruction to start a
transaction, then the checkpointed registers are checked against the
recorded pre-transactional values. New values are written to the
checkpointed registers and recorded, the inferior continues until the
transaction aborts (which is usually immediately when it is resumed),
and the regular registers are checked against the recorded values,
because the abort should have reverted the registers to these values.
Like for the EBB registers, target_store_registers will ignore the
checkpointed registers when called with -1 as the regno
argument (store all registers in one go).

This patch adds support for registers of the Event Based Branching and
Performance Monitoring Units for the powerpc linux native and core
file targets, and for the powerpc linux server stub.
All three EBB registers are accessible. Only a subset of the PMU
registers can be accessed through ptrace. Because of this, the PMU
registers are enumerated individually in gdbarch_tdep, as opposed to
having a single "have_pmu" flag. This is intended to make it easier
to add additional PMU registers in the future, since checking a
"have_pmu" flag elsewhere in the code would no longer be correct. The
tdesc feature is named org.gnu.gdb.power.linux.pmu because of this.
It's unclear if it makes sense to save and restore these registers
across function calls, since some of them can be modified
asynchronously. They are also not tracked in record-replay mode.
The kernel can return ENODATA when ptrace is used to get the EBB
registers, unless a linux performance event that uses EBB is open in
the inferior. For this reason, the "fill" functions in the server
stub for the ebb register sets is not implemented.
Since gdbserver writes all registers in one go before resuming the
inferior, this error would not be detected at the time the user tries
to write to one of the registers on the client side, and gdbserver
would print out warnings every time it resumes the inferior when no
ebb performance event is opened, so there is currently no
straightforward way to handle this case. This means the ebb registers
in the client-side regcache can become dirty when the user tries to
write to them, until the inferior is resumed and stopped again.
A related issue is that 'G' packets used to write to unrelated
registers will include bad data for the EBB registers if they are
unavailable, since no register status information is included in the
'G' packet. This data won't be written to the inferior by the
gdbserver stub because the "fill" functions are not implemented, and
currently the gdbserver stub doesn't change the status of the
registers in its own regcache in response to 'G' packets.
Another limitation for the ebb registers is that traceframes don't
record if registers are available or not, so if these registers are
collected when a tracepoint is hit and the inferior has no ebb event
opened, the user will see zero values for all of them, instead of the
usual <unavailable>.
Because these registers are often unavailable, trying to store them
with target_store_registers with -1 for the regno argument (all
registers) would almost always fail, so they are ignored in this case.

I've written a couple of gdb unwinders in Python, and while doing so,
I wanted to find the architecture of the inferior. (In an unwinder in
particular, one can't use the frame's architecture, because there is
no frame.)
This patch adds Inferior.architecture to allow this. Normally I think
I would have chosen an attribute and not a method here, but seeing
that Frame.architecture is a method, I chose a method as well, for
consistency.

In the distant past, there was no distinction between domain_enum and
search_domain. At that point, there were two sets of enumerators in a
single enum -- which is why these were eventually split. This
confusion leaked out to the Python API as well, as noted in
PR python/21765.
This patch deprecates the constants that aren't useful to the Python
API. They are left in place for now, but removed from the
documentation. Also, their values are changed so that, if used, they
might work. Finally, missing domains and location constants are
added.

gdb's README and configure instructions in the manual are quite out of
date. They mention options that haven't existed for many years, among
other things.
This patch attempts to modernize the instructions somewhat. It is not
exhaustive, just an improvement -- more could be done. Perhaps even a
couple of the nodes should simply be removed and replaced by
references to the Autoconf manual.

The 'frame' command, and thanks to code reuse the 'info frame' and
'select-frame' commands, currently have an overloaded mechanism for
selecting a frame.
These commands take one or two parameters, if it's one parameter then
we first try to use the parameter as an integer to select a frame by
level (or depth in the stack). If that fails then we treat the
parameter as an address and try to select a stack frame by
stack-address. If we still have not selected a stack frame, or we
initially had two parameters, then GDB allows the user to view a stack
frame that is not part of the current backtrace. Internally, a new
frame is created with the given stack and pc addresses, and this is
shown to the user.
The result of this is that a typo by the user, entering the wrong stack
frame level for example, can result in a brand new frame being viewed
rather than an error.
The purpose of this commit is to remove this overloading, while still
offering the same functionality through some new sub-commands. By
making the default behaviour of 'frame' (and friends) be to select a
stack frame by level index, it is hoped that enough
backwards-compatibility is maintained that users will not be overly
inconvenienced.
The 'frame', 'select-frame', and 'info frame' commands now all take a
frame specification string as an argument, this string can be any of the
following:
(1) An integer. This is treated as a frame level. If a frame for
that level does not exist then the user gets an error.
(2) A string like 'level <LEVEL>', where <LEVEL> is a frame level
as in option (1) above.
(3) A string like 'address <STACK-ADDRESS>', where <STACK-ADDRESS>
is a stack-frame address. If there is no frame for this address
then the user gets an error.
(4) A string like 'function <NAME>', where <NAME> is a function name,
the inner most frame for function <NAME> is selected. If there is no
frame for function <NAME> then the user gets an error.
(5) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS>', this views a new frame
with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS>.
(6) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS> <PC-ADDRESS>', this views
a new frame with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS> and the pc <PC-ADDRESS>.
This change assumes that the most common use of the commands like
'frame' is to select a frame by frame level, it is for this reason
that this is the behaviour that is kept for backwards compatibility.
Any of the alternative behaviours, which are assumed to be less used,
now require a change in user behaviour.
The MI command '-stack-select-frame' has not been changed. This
ensures that we maintain backwards compatibility for existing
frontends.

A convention in the Python layer is that raising a gdb.GdbError will
not print the Python stack -- instead the exception is treated as any
other gdb exception.
PR python/18852 asks that this treatment be extended the the
get_set_value method of gdb.Parameter. This makes sense, because it
lets Python-created parameters act like gdb parameters.

The code implementing gdb.objfiles() returns a list of objfiles for the
current program space (the program space of the selected inferior). The

Printing a GDB Python object is notoriously not helpful:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior object at 0x7fea59aed198>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile object at 0x7fea59b57c90>]
This makes printing debug traces more difficult than it should be. This
patch provides some repr() implementation for these two types (more to
come if people agree with the idea, but I want to test the water first).
Here's the same example as above, but with this patch:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior num=1>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile filename=/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb-gcc-git/gdb/test>]
I implemented repr rather than str, because when printing a list (or
another container I suppose), Python calls the repr method of the
elements. This is useful when printing a list of inferiors or objfiles.
The print(gdb.objfiles()) above would not have worked if I had
implemented str.
I found this post useful to understand the difference between repr and
str:
