I noticed that touching interps.h caused a lot of recompilation. I
tracked this down to mi-common.h including this file. This patch
moves the MI interpreter to mi-interp.h, which cuts down on
recompilation when modifying interps.h.

Currently, there's the location_spec hierarchy, and then some
location_spec subclasses have their own struct type holding all their
data fields.
I.e., there is this:
location_spec
explicit_location_spec
linespec_location_spec
address_location_spec
probe_location_spec
and then these separate types:
explicit_location
linespec_location
where:
explicit_location_spec
has-a explicit_location
linespec_location_spec
has-a linespec_location
This patch eliminates explicit_location and linespec_location,
inlining their members in the corresponding location_spec type.
The location_spec subclasses were the ones currently defined in
location.c, so they are moved to the header. Since the definitions of
the classes are now visible, we no longer need location_spec_deleter.
Some constructors that are used for cloning location_specs, like:
explicit explicit_location_spec (const struct explicit_location *loc)
... were converted to proper copy ctors.
In the process, initialize_explicit_location is eliminated, and some
functions that returned the "data type behind a locspec", like
get_linespec_location are converted to downcast functions, like
as_linespec_location_spec.

Currently, GDB internally uses the term "location" for both the
location specification the user input (linespec, explicit location, or
an address location), and for actual resolved locations, like the
breakpoint locations, or the result of decoding a location spec to
SaLs. This is expecially confusing in the breakpoints module, as
struct breakpoint has these two fields:
breakpoint::location;
breakpoint::loc;
"location" is the location spec, and "loc" is the resolved locations.
And then, we have a method called "locations()", which returns the
resolved locations as range...
The location spec type is presently called event_location:
/* Location we used to set the breakpoint. */
event_location_up location;
and it is described like this:
/* The base class for all an event locations used to set a stop event
in the inferior. */
struct event_location
{
and even that is incorrect... Location specs are used for finding
actual locations in the program in scenarios that have nothing to do
with stop events. E.g., "list" works with location specs.
To clean all this confusion up, this patch renames "event_location" to
"location_spec" throughout, and then all the variables that hold a
location spec, they are renamed to include "spec" in their name, like
e.g., "location" -> "locspec". Similarly, functions that work with
location specs, and currently have just "location" in their name are
renamed to include "spec" in their name too.

Even after the previous patches reworking the inheritance of several
breakpoint types, the present breakpoint hierarchy looks a bit
surprising, as we have "breakpoint" as the superclass, and then
"base_breakpoint" inherits from "breakpoint". Like so, simplified:
breakpoint
base_breakpoint
ordinary_breakpoint
internal_breakpoint
momentary_breakpoint
ada_catchpoint
exception_catchpoint
tracepoint
watchpoint
catchpoint
exec_catchpoint
...
The surprising part to me is having "base_breakpoint" being a subclass
of "breakpoint". I'm just refering to naming here -- I mean, you'd
expect that it would be the top level baseclass that would be called
"base".
Just flipping the names of breakpoint and base_breakpoint around
wouldn't be super great for us, IMO, given we think of every type of
*point as a breakpoint at the user visible level. E.g., "info
breakpoints" shows watchpoints, tracepoints, etc. So it makes to call
the top level class breakpoint.
Instead, I propose renaming base_breakpoint to code_breakpoint. The
previous patches made sure that all code breakpoints inherit from
base_breakpoint, so it's fitting. Also, "code breakpoint" contrasts
nicely with a watchpoint also being typically known as a "data
breakpoint".
After this commit, the resulting hierarchy looks like:
breakpoint
code_breakpoint
ordinary_breakpoint
internal_breakpoint
momentary_breakpoint
ada_catchpoint
exception_catchpoint
tracepoint
watchpoint
catchpoint
exec_catchpoint
...
... which makes a lot more sense to me.
I've left this patch as last in the series in case people want to
bikeshed on the naming.
"code" has a nice property that it's exactly as many letters as
"base", so this patch didn't require any reindentation. :-)

There's no need to have vtable_breakpoint_ops any more, so remove it
in favor of base_breakpoint_ops.
|
|
This converts dprintf to use vtable_breakpoint_ops.
|
|
This converts "ordinary" breakpoint to use vtable_breakpoint_ops.
Recall that an ordinary breakpoint is both the kind normally created
by users, and also a base class used by other classes.
|
|
This converts tracepoints to use vtable_breakpoint_ops.

Same idea as previous patch, but for symtab::objfile. I find
it clearer without this wrapper, as it shows that the objfile is
common to all symtabs of a given compunit. Otherwise, you could think
that each symtab (of a given compunit) can have a specific objfile.

gdb/mi: consistently notify user when GDB/MI client uses -thread-select
Changes were made to GDB to address some inconsistencies in when
notifications are sent from a MI terminal to a CLI terminal (when
multiple terminals are in use, see new-ui command).
Unfortunately, in order to track when the currently selected frame has
changed, that commit grabs a frame_info pointer before and after an MI
command has executed, and compares the pointers to see if the frame
has changed.
This is not safe.
If the frame cache is deleted for any reason then the frame_info
pointer captured before the command started, is no longer valid, and
any comparisons based on that pointer are undefined.
This was leading to random test failures for some folk, see:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-March/186867.html
This commit changes GDB so we no longer hold frame_info pointers, but
instead store the frame_id and frame_level, this is safe even when the
frame cache is flushed.

The motivation for this patch is the fact that py-micmd.c doesn't build
with Python 2, due to PyDict_GetItemWithError being a Python 3-only
function:
CXX python/py-micmd.o
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-micmd.c: In function ‘int micmdpy_uninstall_command(micmdpy_object*)’:
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-micmd.c:430:20: error: ‘PyDict_GetItemWithError’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘PyDict_GetItemString’?
430 | PyObject *curr = PyDict_GetItemWithError (mi_cmd_dict.get (),
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| PyDict_GetItemString
A first solution to fix this would be to try to replace
PyDict_GetItemWithError equivalent Python 2 code. But I looked at why
we are doing this in the first place: it is to maintain the
`gdb._mi_commands` Python dictionary that we use as a `name ->
gdb.MICommand object` map. Since the `gdb._mi_commands` dictionary is
never actually used in Python, it seems like a lot of trouble to use a
Python object for this.
My first idea was to replace it with a C++ map
(std::unordered_map<std::string, gdbpy_ref<micmdpy_object>>). While
implementing this, I realized we don't really need this map at all. The
mi_command_py objects registered in the main MI command table can own
their backing micmdpy_object (that's a gdb.MICommand, but seen from the
C++ code). To know whether an mi_command is an mi_command_py, we can
use a dynamic cast. Since there's one less data structure to maintain,
there are less chances of messing things up.
- Change mi_command_py::m_pyobj to a gdbpy_ref, the mi_command_py is
now what keeps the MICommand alive.
- Set micmdpy_object::mi_command in the constructor of mi_command_py.
If mi_command_py manages setting/clearing that field in
swap_python_object, I think it makes sense that it also takes care of
setting it initially.
- Move a bunch of checks from micmdpy_install_command to
swap_python_object, and make them gdb_asserts.
- In micmdpy_install_command, start by doing an mi_cmd_lookup. This is
needed to know whether there's a Python MI command already registered
with that name. But we can already tell if there's a non-Python
command registered with that name. Return an error if that happens,
rather than waiting for insert_mi_cmd_entry to fail. Change the
error message to "name is already in use" rather than "may already be
in use", since it's more precise.
I asked Andrew about the original intent of using a Python dictionary
object to hold the command objects. The reason was to make sure the
objects get destroyed when the Python runtime gets finalized, not later.
Holding the objects in global C++ data structures and not doing anything
more means that the held Python objects will be decref'd after the
Python interpreter has been finalized. That's not desirable. I tried
it and it indeed segfaults.
Handle this by adding a gdbpy_finalize_micommands function called in
finalize_python. This is the mirror of gdbpy_initialize_micommands
called in do_start_initialization. In there, delete all Python MI
commands. I think it makes sense to do it this way: if it was somehow
possible to unload Python support from GDB in the middle of a session
we'd want to unregister any Python MI command. Otherwise, these MI
commands would be backed with a stale PyObject or simply nothing.
Delete tests that were related to `gdb._mi_commands`.

GDB notifies users about user selected thread changes somewhat
inconsistently as mentioned on gdb-patches mailing list here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-February/185989.html
Consider GDB debugging a multi-threaded inferior with both CLI and GDB/MI
interfaces connected to separate terminals.
Assuming inferior is stopped and thread 1 is selected, when a thread
2 is selected using '-thread-select 2' command on GDB/MI terminal:
-thread-select 2
^done,new-thread-id="2",frame={level="0",addr="0x00005555555551cd",func="child_sub_function",args=[],file="/home/jv/Projects/gdb/users_jv_patches/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",fullname="/home/uuu/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",line="30",arch="i386:x86-64"}
(gdb)
and on CLI terminal we get the notification (as expected):
[Switching to thread 2 (Thread 0x7ffff7daa640 (LWP 389659))]
#0 child_sub_function () at /home/uuu/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c:30
30 volatile int dummy = 0;
However, now that thread 2 is selected, if thread 1 is selected
using 'thread-select --thread 1 1' command on GDB/MI terminal
terminal:
-thread-select --thread 1 1
^done,new-thread-id="1",frame={level="0",addr="0x0000555555555294",func="main",args=[],file="/home/jv/Projects/gdb/users_jv_patches/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",fullname="/home/jv/Projects/gdb/users_jv_patches/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c",line="66",arch="i386:x86-64"}
(gdb)
but no notification is printed on CLI terminal, despite the fact
that user selected thread has changed.
The problem is that when `-thread-select --thread 1 1` is executed
then thread is switched to thread 1 before mi_cmd_thread_select () is
called, therefore the condition "inferior_ptid != previous_ptid"
there does not hold.
To address this problem, we have to move notification logic up to
mi_cmd_execute () where --thread option is processed and notify
user selected contents observers there if context changes.
However, this in itself breaks GDB/MI because it would cause context
notification to be sent on MI channel. This is because by the time
we notify, MI notification suppression is already restored (done in
mi_command::invoke(). Therefore we had to lift notification suppression
logic also up to mi_cmd_execute (). This change in made distinction
between mi_command::invoke() and mi_command::do_invoke() unnecessary
as all mi_command::invoke() did (after the change) was to call
do_invoke(). So this patches removes do_invoke() and moves the command
execution logic directly to invoke().
With this change, all gdb.mi tests pass, tested on x86_64-linux.

This commit allows a user to create custom MI commands using Python
similarly to what is possible for Python CLI commands.
A new subclass of mi_command is defined for Python MI commands,
mi_command_py. A new file, gdb/python/py-micmd.c contains the logic
for Python MI commands.
This commit is based on work linked too from this mailing list thread:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2021-November/049774.html
Which has also been previously posted to the mailing list here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2019-May/158010.html
And was recently reposted here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-January/185190.html
The version in this patch takes some core code from the previously
posted patches, but also has some significant differences, especially
after the feedback given here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-February/185767.html
A new MI command can be implemented in Python like this:
class echo_args(gdb.MICommand):
def invoke(self, args):
return { 'args': args }
echo_args("-echo-args")
The 'args' parameter (to the invoke method) is a list
containing (almost) all command line arguments passed to the MI
command (--thread and --frame are handled before the Python code is
called, and removed from the args list). This list can be empty if
the MI command was passed no arguments.
When used within gdb the above command produced output like this:
(gdb)
-echo-args a b c
^done,args=["a","b","c"]
(gdb)
The 'invoke' method of the new command must return a dictionary. The
keys of this dictionary are then used as the field names in the mi
command output (e.g. 'args' in the above).
The values of the result returned by invoke can be dictionaries,
lists, iterators, or an object that can be converted to a string.
These are processed recursively to create the mi output. And so, this
is valid:
class new_command(gdb.MICommand):
def invoke(self,args):
return { 'result_one': { 'abc': 123, 'def': 'Hello' },
'result_two': [ { 'a': 1, 'b': 2 },
{ 'c': 3, 'd': 4 } ] }
Which produces output like:
(gdb)
-new-command
^done,result_one={abc="123",def="Hello"},result_two=[{a="1",b="2"},{c="3",d="4"}]
(gdb)
I have required that the fields names used in mi result output must
match the regexp: "^[a-zA-Z][-_a-zA-Z0-9]*$" (without the quotes).
This restriction was never written down anywhere before, but seems
sensible to me, and we can always loosen this rule later if it proves
to be a problem. Much harder to try and add a restriction later, once
people are already using the API.
What follows are some details about how this implementation differs
from the original patch that was posted to the mailing list.
In this patch, I have changed how the lifetime of the Python
gdb.MICommand objects is managed. In the original patch, these object
were kept alive by an owned reference within the mi_command_py object.
As such, the Python object would not be deleted until the
mi_command_py object itself was deleted.
This caused a problem, the mi_command_py were held in the global mi
command table (in mi/mi-cmds.c), which, as a global, was not cleared
until program shutdown. By this point the Python interpreter has
already been shutdown. Attempting to delete the mi_command_py object
at this point was causing GDB to try and invoke Python code after
finalising the Python interpreter, and we would crash.
To work around this problem, the original patch added code in
python/python.c that would search the mi command table, and delete the
mi_command_py objects before the Python environment was finalised.
In contrast, in this patch, I have added a new global dictionary to
the gdb module, gdb._mi_commands. We already have several such global
data stores related to pretty printers, and frame unwinders.
The MICommand objects are placed into the new gdb.mi_commands
dictionary, and it is this reference that keeps the objects alive.
When GDB's Python interpreter is shut down gdb._mi_commands is deleted,
and any MICommand objects within it are deleted at this point.
This change avoids having to make the mi_cmd_table global, and walk
over it from within GDB's python related code.
This patch handles command redefinition entirely within GDB's python
code, though this does impose one small restriction which is not
present in the original code (detailed below), I don't think this is a
big issue. However, the original patch relied on being able to
finish executing the mi_command::do_invoke member function after the
mi_command object had been deleted. Though continuing to execute a
member function after an object is deleted is well defined, it is
also (IMHO) risky, its too easy for someone to later add a use of the
object without realising that the object might sometimes, have been
deleted. The new patch avoids this issue.
The one restriction that is added to avoid this, is that an MICommand
object can't be reinitialised with a different command name, so:
(gdb) python cmd = MyMICommand("-abc")
(gdb) python cmd.__init__("-def")
can't reinitialize object with a different command name
This feels like a pretty weird edge case, and I'm happy to live with
this restriction.
I have also changed how the memory is managed for the command name.
In the most recently posted patch series, the command name is moved
into a subclass of mi_command, the python mi_command_py, which
inherits from mi_command is then free to use a smart pointer to manage
the memory for the name.
In this patch, I leave the mi_command class unchanged, and instead
hold the memory for the name within the Python object, as the lifetime
of the Python object always exceeds the c++ object stored in the
mi_cmd_table. This adds a little more complexity in py-micmd.c, but
leaves the mi_command class nice and simple.
Next, this patch adds some extra functionality, there's a
MICommand.name read-only attribute containing the name of the command,
and a read-write MICommand.installed attribute that can be used to
install (make the command available for use) and uninstall (remove the
command from the mi_cmd_table so it can't be used) the command. This
attribute will be automatically updated if a second command replaces
an earlier command.
This patch adds additional error handling, and makes more use the
gdbpy_handle_exception function.

This caused problems for frontends that provide access to CLI because UI
may silently change the context for CLI commands (as demonstrated above).
This commit fixes the problem by restoring thread and frame in
mi_cmd_execute (). With this change, there are only two GDB/MI commands
that can change user selected context: -thread-select and -stack-select-frame.
This allows us to remove all and rather complicated logic of notifying
about user selected context change from mi_execute_command (), leaving it
to these two commands themselves to notify.

Following on from the previous commit, where the -add-inferior command
now uses the same connection as the current inferior, this commit adds
a --no-connection option to -add-inferior.
This new option matches the existing option of the same name for the
CLI version of add-inferior; the new inferior is created with no
connection.
I've added a new 'connection' field to the MI output of -add-inferior,
which includes the connection number and short name. I haven't
included the longer description field, this is the MI after all. My
expectation would be that if the frontend wanted to display all the
connection details then this would be looked up from 'info
connection' (or the MI equivalent if/when such a command is added).
The existing -add-inferior tests are updated, as are the docs.

Prior to the multi-target support commit:
commit 5b6d1e4fa4fc6827c7b3f0e99ff120dfa14d65d2
Date: Fri Jan 10 20:06:08 2020 +0000
Multi-target support
When a new inferior was added using the MI -add-inferior command, the
new inferior would be using the same target as all the other
inferiors. This makes sense, GDB only supported a single target stack
at a time.
After the above commit, each inferior has its own target stack.
To maintain backward compatibility, for the CLI add-inferior command,
when a new inferior is added the above commit has the new inferior
inherit a copy of the target stack from the current inferior.
Unfortunately, this same backward compatibility is missing for the MI.
This commit fixes this oversight.
Now, when the -add-inferior MI command is used, the new inferior will
inherit a copy of the target stack from the current inferior.

Joel noticed that if the remote dies unexpectedly during a command --
you can simulate this by using "continue" and then killing gdbserver
-- then the CLI will print a new prompt, but MI will not. Later, we
found out that this was also filed in bugzilla as PR mi/23820.
The output looks something like this:
| (gdb)
| cont
| &"cont\n"
| ~"Continuing.\n"
| ^running
| *running,thread-id="all"
| (gdb)
| [... some output from GDB during program startup...]
| =thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
| =thread-group-exited,id="i1"
| &"Remote connection closed\n"
Now, what about that "(gdb)" in the middle?
That prompt comes from this questionable code in
mi-interp.c:mi_on_resume_1:
/* This is what gdb used to do historically -- printing prompt
even if it cannot actually accept any input. This will be
surely removed for MI3, and may be removed even earlier. */
if (current_ui->prompt_state == PROMPT_BLOCKED)
fputs_unfiltered ("(gdb) \n", mi->raw_stdout);
... which seems like something to remove. But maybe the intent here
is that this prompt is sufficient, and MI clients must be ready to
handle output coming after a prompt. On the other hand, if this code
*is* removed, then nothing would print a prompt in this scenario.
Anyway, the CLI and the TUI handle emitting the prompt here by hooking
into gdb::observers::command_error, but MI doesn't install an observer
here.
This patch adds the missing observer and arranges to show the MI
prompt. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
It seems like this area could be improved a bit, by having
start_event_loop call the prompt-displaying code directly, rather than
indirecting through an observer. However, I haven't done this.

While working on function calls, I realized that the thread_fsm member
of struct thread_info is a raw pointer to a resource it owns. This
commit changes the type of the thread_fsm member to a std::unique_ptr in
order to signify this ownership relationship and slightly ease resource
management (no need to manually call delete).
To ensure consistent use, the field is made a private member
(m_thread_fsm). The setter method (set_thread_fsm) can then check
that it is incorrect to associate a FSM to a thread_info object if
another one is already in place. This is ensured by an assertion.
The function run_inferior_call takes an argument as a pointer to a
call_thread_fsm and installs it in it in a thread_info instance. Also
change this function's signature to accept a unique_ptr in order to
signify that the ownership of the call_thread_fsm is transferred during
the call.
No user visible change expected after this commit.
Tested on x86_64-linux with no regression observed.

Add a getter and a setter for a symtab's compunit_symtab. Remove the
corresponding macro and adjust all callers.
For brevity, I chose the name "compunit" instead of "compunit_symtab"
the the field, getter and setter names. Since we are already in symtab
context, the _symtab suffix seems redundant.

I noticed that host_hex_value is redundant, because gdbsupport already
has fromhex. This patch removes the former in favor of the latter.

Right now, wrap_here is a global function. In the long run, we'd like
output streams to be relatively self-contained objects, and having a
global function like this is counter to that goal. Also, existing
code freely mixes writes to some parameterized stream with calls to
wrap_here -- but wrap_here only really affects gdb_stdout, so this is
also incoherent.
This step is a patch toward making wrap_here more sane. It adds a
wrap_here method to ui_file and changes ui_out implementations to use
it.
|
|
I think it only really makes sense to call wrap_here with an argument
consisting solely of spaces. Given this, it seemed better to me that
the argument be an int, rather than a string. This patch is the
result. Much of it was written by a script.

This moves the gdb_regex convenience class to gdbsupport.

This moves the gdb-specific obstack code -- both extensions like
obconcat and obstack_strdup, and things like auto_obstack -- to
gdbsupport.

In my tour of the ui_file subsystem, I found that fputstr and fputstrn
can be simplified. The _filtered forms are never used (and IMO
unlikely to ever be used) and so can be removed. And, the interface
can be simplified by removing a callback function and moving the
implementation directly to ui_file.
A new self-test is included. Previously, I think nothing was testing
this code.

Just give the function build_table a more descriptive name. There
should be no user visible changes after this commit.

Just give this class a new name, more inline with the name of the
sub-classes. I've also updated mi_cmd_up to mi_command_up in
mi-cmds.c inline with this new naming scheme.

This commit changes the infrastructure in mi-cmds.{c,h} to add new
sub-classes for the different types of MI command. Instances of these
sub-classes are then created and added into mi_cmd_table.
The existing mi_cmd class becomes the abstract base class, this has an
invoke method and takes care of the suppress notifications handling,
before calling a do_invoke virtual method which is implemented by all
of the sub-classes.
There's currently two different sub-classes, one of pure MI commands,
and a second for MI commands that delegate to CLI commands.

Change an argument of mi_execute_cli_command from int to bool. Update
the callers to take this into account. Within mi_execute_cli_command,
update a comparison of a pointer to 0 with a comparison to nullptr,
and add an assert, if we are not using the argument string then the
string should be nullptr. Also removed a cryptic 'gdb_????' comment,
which isn't really helpful.

This changes the hashmap used in mi-cmds.c from a custom structure to
std::map. Not only is replacing a custom container with a standard
one an improvement, but using std::map will make it easier to
dynamically add commands; which is something that is planned for a
later series, where we will allow MI commands to be implemented in
Python.

There are a few places where we call the target_ops::can_async_p
member function directly, instead of using the target_can_async_p
wrapper.
In some of these places this is because we need to ask before the
target has been pushed, and in another location (in target.c) it seems
unnecessary to go through the wrapper when we are already in target.c
code.
However, in the next commit I'd like to hoist some common checks out
of target specific code into target.c. To achieve this, in this
commit, I introduce a new overload of target_can_async_p which takes a
target_ops pointer, and calls the ::can_async_p method directly. I
then make use of the new overload where appropriate.

The motivation is to reduce the number of places where unmanaged
pointers are returned from allocation type routines. All of the
callers are updated.
