2023-05-05gdb/python: add mechanism to manage Python initialization functionsAndrew Burgess1-1/+3
Currently, when we add a new python sub-system to GDB, e.g. py-inferior.c, we end up having to create a new function like gdbpy_initialize_inferior, which then has to be called from the function do_start_initialization in python.c. In some cases (py-micmd.c and py-tui.c), we have two functions gdbpy_initialize_*, and gdbpy_finalize_*, with the second being called from finalize_python which is also in python.c. This commit proposes a mechanism to manage these initialization and finalization calls, this means that adding a new Python subsystem will no longer require changes to python.c or python-internal.h, instead, the initialization and finalization functions will be registered directly from the sub-system file, e.g. py-inferior.c, or py-micmd.c. The initialization and finalization functions are managed through a new class gdbpy_initialize_file in python-internal.h. This class contains a single global vector of all the initialization and finalization functions. In each Python sub-system we create a new gdbpy_initialize_file object, the object constructor takes care of registering the two callback functions. Now from python.c we can call static functions on the gdbpy_initialize_file class which take care of walking the callback list and invoking each callback in turn. To slightly simplify the Python sub-system files I added a new macro GDBPY_INITIALIZE_FILE, which hides the need to create an object. We can now just do this: GDBPY_INITIALIZE_FILE (gdbpy_initialize_registers); One possible problem with this change is that there is now no guaranteed ordering of how the various sub-systems are initialized (or finalized). To try and avoid dependencies creeping in I have added a use of the environment variable GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS, this is the same environment variable used in the generated init.c file. Just like with init.c, when this environment variable is set we reverse the list of Python initialization (and finalization) functions. As there is already a test that starts GDB with the environment variable set then this should offer some level of protection against dependencies creeping in - though for full protection I guess we'd need to run all gdb.python/*.exp tests with the variable set. I have tested this patch with the environment variable set, and saw no regressions, so I think we are fine right now. One other change of note was for gdbpy_initialize_gdb_readline, this function previously returned void. In order to make this function have the correct signature I've updated its return type to int, and we now return 0 to indicate success. All of the other initialize (and finalize) functions have been made static within their respective sub-system files. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

2022-06-23Use PyBool_FromLongTom Tromey1-2/+1

2022-05-28gdb/python: improve formatting of help text for user defined commandsAndrew Burgess1-0/+1
Consider this command defined in Python (in the file test-cmd.py): class test_cmd (gdb.Command): """ This is the first line. Indented second line. This is the third line. """ def __init__ (self): super ().__init__ ("test-cmd", gdb.COMMAND_OBSCURE) def invoke (self, arg, from_tty): print ("In test-cmd") test_cmd() Now, within a GDB session: (gdb) source test-cmd.py (gdb) help test-cmd This is the first line. Indented second line. This is the third line. (gdb) I think there's three things wrong here: 1. The leading blank line, 2. The trailing blank line, and 3. Every line is indented from the left edge slightly. The problem of course, is that GDB is using the Python doc string verbatim as its help text. While the user has formatted the help text so that it appears clear within the .py file, this means that the text appear less well formatted when displayed in the "help" output. The same problem can be observed for gdb.Parameter objects in their set/show output. In this commit I aim to improve the "help" output for commands and parameters. To do this I have added gdbpy_fix_doc_string_indentation, a new function that rewrites the doc string text following the following rules: 1. Leading blank lines are removed, 2. Trailing blank lines are removed, and 3. Leading whitespace is removed in a "smart" way such that the relative indentation of lines is retained. With this commit in place the above example now looks like this: (gdb) source ~/tmp/test-cmd.py (gdb) help test-cmd This is the first line. Indented second line. This is the third line. (gdb) Which I think is much neater. Notice that the indentation of the second line is retained. Any blank lines within the help text (not leading or trailing) will be retained. I've added a NEWS entry to note that there has been a change in behaviour, but I didn't update the manual. The existing manual is suitably vague about how the doc string is used, so I think the new behaviour is covered just as well by the existing text.
2022-05-28gdb: use gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> for docs in cmdpy_initAndrew Burgess1-8/+7
Make use of gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> to hold the documentation string in cmdpy_init (when creating a custom GDB command in Python). I think this is all pretty straight forward, the only slight weirdness is the removal of the call to free toward the end of this function. Prior to this commit, if an exception was thrown after the GDB command was created then we would (I think) end up freeing the documentation string even though the command would remain registered with GDB, which would surely lead to undefined behaviour. After this commit we release the doc string at the point that we hand it over to the command creation routines. If we throw _after_ the command has been created within GDB then the doc string will be left live. If we throw during the command creation itself (either from add_prefix_cmd or add_cmd) then it is up to those functions to free the doc string (I suspect we don't, but I think in general the commands are pretty bad at cleaning up after themselves, so I don't think this is a huge problem).

2022-01-26Change how Python architecture and language are handledTom Tromey1-4/+4
Currently, gdb's Python layer captures the current architecture and language when "entering" Python code. This has some undesirable effects, and so this series changes how this is handled. First, there is code like this: gdbpy_enter enter_py (python_gdbarch, python_language); This is incorrect, because both of these are NULL when not otherwise assigned. This can cause crashes in some cases -- I've added one to the test suite. (Note that this crasher is just an example, other ones along the same lines are possible.) Second, when the language is captured in this way, it means that Python code cannot affect the current language for its own purposes. It's reasonable to want to write code like this: gdb.execute('set language mumble') ... stuff using the current language gdb.execute('set language previous-value') However, this won't actually work, because the language is captured on entry. I've added a test to show this as well. This patch changes gdb to try to avoid capturing the current values. The Python concept of the current gdbarch is only set in those few cases where a non-default value is computed or needed; and the language is not captured at all -- instead, in the cases where it's required, the current language is temporarily changed.

2021-07-23gdb: remove cmd_list_element::function::sfuncSimon Marchi1-2/+1
I don't understand what the sfunc function type in cmd_list_element::function is for. Compared to cmd_simple_func_ftype, it has an extra cmd_list_element parameter, giving the callback access to the cmd_list_element for the command being invoked. This allows registering the same callback with many commands, and alter the behavior using the cmd_list_element's context. From the comment in cmd_list_element, it sounds like at some point it was the callback function type for set and show functions, hence the "s". But nowadays, it's used for many more commands that need to access the cmd_list_element object (see add_catch_command for example). I don't really see the point of having sfunc at all, since do_sfunc is just a trivial shim that changes the order of the arguments. All commands using sfunc could just as well set cmd_list_element::func to their callback directly. Therefore, remove the sfunc field in cmd_list_element and everything that goes with it. Rename cmd_const_sfunc_ftype to cmd_func_ftype and use it for cmd_list_element::func, as well as for the add_setshow commands. Change-Id: I1eb96326c9b511c293c76996cea0ebc51c70fac0
2021-06-25gdb: add context getter/setter to cmd_list_elementSimon Marchi1-3/+3
Straightforward replacement of get_cmd_context / set_cmd_context with cmd_list_element methods. gdb/ChangeLog: * cli/cli-decode.h (struct cmd_list_element) <set_context, context>: New. <context>: Rename to... <m_context>: ... this. * cli/cli-decode.c (set_cmd_context, get_cmd_context): Remove. * command.h (set_cmd_context, get_cmd_context): Remove, use cmd_list_element::set_context and cmd_list_element::context everywhere instead.

2021-05-17gdb: rename cmd_list_element::prefixlist to subcommandsSimon Marchi1-3/+3
While browsing this code, I found the name "prefixlist" really confusing. I kept reading it as "list of prefixes". Which it isn't: it's a list of sub-commands, for a prefix command. I think that renaming it to "subcommands" would make things clearer. gdb/ChangeLog: * Rename "prefixlist" parameters to "subcommands" throughout. * cli/cli-decode.h (cmd_list_element) <prefixlist>: Rename to... <subcommands>: ... this. * cli/cli-decode.c (lookup_cmd_for_prefixlist): Rename to...

2021-05-12gdb: make gdbpy_parse_command_name return a unique_xmalloc_ptrSimon Marchi1-25/+22
This avoids some manual memory management. cmdpy_init correctly transfers ownership of the name to the cmd_list_element, as it sets the name_allocated flag. However, cmdpy_init (and add_setshow_generic) doesn't, it looks like the name is just leaked. This is a bit tricky, because it actually creates two commands (one set and one show), it would take a bit of refactoring of the command code to give each their own allocated copy. For now, just keep doing what the current code does but in a more explicit fashion, with an explicit release. gdb/ChangeLog: * python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Return gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr. * python/py-cmd.c (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Likewise. (cmdpy_init): Adjust. * python/py-param.c (parmpy_init): Adjust. (add_setshow_generic): Take gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr, release it when done. Change-Id: Iae5bc21fe2b22f12d5f954057b0aca7ca4cd3f0d
2021-05-12gdb: generate the prefix name for prefix commands on demandMarco Barisione1-39/+12
Previously, the prefixname field of struct cmd_list_element was manually set for prefix commands. This seems verbose and error prone as it required every single call to functions adding prefix commands to specify the prefix name while the same information can be easily generated. Historically, this was not possible as the prefix field was null for many commands, but this was fixed in commit 3f4d92ebdf7f848b5ccc9e8d8e8514c64fde1183 by Philippe Waroquiers, so we can rely on the prefix field being set when generating the prefix name. This commit also fixes a use after free in this scenario: * A command gets created via Python (using the gdb.Command class). The prefix name member is dynamically allocated. * An alias to the new command is created. The alias's prefixname is set to point to the prefixname for the original command with a direct assignment. * A new command with the same name as the Python command is created. * The object for the original Python command gets freed and its prefixname gets freed as well. * The alias is updated to point to the new command, but its prefixname is not updated so it keeps pointing to the freed one. gdb/ChangeLog: * command.h (add_prefix_cmd): Remove the prefixname argument as it can now be generated automatically. Update all callers. (add_basic_prefix_cmd): Ditto. (add_show_prefix_cmd): Ditto. (add_prefix_cmd_suppress_notification): Ditto.

(add_prefix_cmd_suppress_notification): Ditto. (add_abbrev_prefix_cmd): Ditto. * cli/cli-decode.h (struct cmd_list_element): Replace the prefixname member variable with a method which generates the prefix name at runtime. Update all code reading the prefix name to use the method, and remove all code setting it. * python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_destroyer): Remove code to free the prefixname member as it's now a method. (cmdpy_function): Determine if the command is a prefix by looking at prefixlist, not prefixname.

2020-06-22default-args: allow to define default arguments for aliasesPhilippe Waroquiers1-1/+1
Currently, a user can define an alias, but cannot have default arguments for this alias. This patch modifies the 'alias' command so that default args can be provided. (gdb) h alias Define a new command that is an alias of an existing command. Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND [DEFAULT-ARGS...] ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create. COMMAND is the command being aliased to. Options: -a Specify that ALIAS is an abbreviation of COMMAND. Abbreviations are not used in command completion.. GDB will automatically prepend the provided DEFAULT-ARGS to the list of arguments explicitly provided when using ALIAS. Use "help aliases" to list all user defined aliases and their default args. Examples: Make "spe" an alias of "set print elements": alias spe set print elements Make "elms" an alias of "elements" in the "set print" command: alias -a set print elms set print elements Make "btf" an alias of "backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main" : alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main Make "wLapPeu" an alias of 2 nested "with": alias wLapPeu = with language pascal -- with print elements unlimited -- (gdb) The way 'default-args' is implemented makes it trivial to set default args also for GDB commands (such as "backtrace") and for GDB pre-defined aliases (such as "bt"). It was however deemed better to not allow to define default arguments for pre-defined commands and aliases, to avoid users believing that e.g. default args for "backtrace" would apply to "bt". If needed, default-args could be allowed for GDB predefined commands and aliases by adding a command 'set default-args GDB_COMMAND_OR_PREDEFINED_ALIAS [DEFAULT-ARGS...]'. * 'alias' command now has a completer that helps to complete: - ALIAS (if the user defines an alias after a prefix), - the aliased COMMAND - the possible options for the aliased COMMAND. * Help and apropos commands show the definitions of the aliases that have default arguments, e.g. (gdb) help backtrace backtrace, btf, where, bt alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames. Usage: backtrace [OPTION]... [QUALIFIER]...

This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py script. 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. gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files.

2017-07-17Introduce class completion_tracker & rewrite completion<->readline interactionPedro Alves1-18/+27
This patch reworks the whole completion machinery, and prepares it for later enhancements. Adds a new "completion_tracker" class that is meant to hold everything about the state of the current completion operation. This class now has the responsibility of tracking the list of completion matches, and checking whether the max completions limit has been reached. You can look at this as this patch starting out by C++fying the existing "completion_tracker" in symtab.c (it's just an htab_t typedef currently), moving it to completer.h/c, and then making it a class/generalizing/enhancing it. Unlike with the current tracking, completion_tracker now checks whether the limit has been reached on each completion match list insertion. This both simplifies the max-completions handling code (maybe_add_completion_enum is gone, for example), and is a prerequisite for follow up patches. The current completion_tracker is only used for symbol completions, and the symbol code gets at the current instance via globals. This patch cleans that up by adding a completion_tracker reference to the signature of the completion functions, and passing the tracker around everywhere necessary. Then, the patch changes how the completion match list is handed over to readline. Currently, we're using the rl_completion_entry_function readline entry point, and the patch switches to rl_attempted_completion_function. A following patch will want to let GDB itself decide the common completion prefix between all matches (what readline calls the "lowest common denominator"), instead of having readline compute it, and that's not possible with the rl_completion_entry_function entry point. Also, rl_attempted_completion_function lets GDB hand over the match list to readline as an array in one go instead of passing down matches one by one, so from that angle it's a nicer entry point anyway. Lastly, the patch catches exceptions around the readline entry points, because we can't let C++ exceptions cross readline. We handle that in the readline input entry point, but the completion entry point isn't guarded, so GDB can abort if completion throws. E.g., in current master: (gdb) b -function "fun<tab> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR' Aborted (core dumped) This patch fixes that.

2017-04-05-Wwrite-strings: Add a PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords "const char *" overloadPedro Alves1-5/+5
-Wwrite-strings flags code like: static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL }; as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []". We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this: - static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL }; + static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL }; However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer works OOTB, because PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords expects a "char **": PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw, const char *format, char *keywords[], ...); and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **". C++ is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **> is fine. However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves, this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a single place. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-04-05 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * python/python-internal.h (gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords): New static inline function. * python/py-arch.c (archpy_disassemble): Constify 'keywords' array and use gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords. * python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_init): Likewise. * python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init): Likewise. * python/py-inferior.c (infpy_read_memory, infpy_write_memory) (infpy_search_memory): Likewise. * python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_add_separate_debug_file) (gdbpy_lookup_objfile): Likewise. * python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_symbol) (gdbpy_lookup_global_symbol): Likewise. * python/py-type.c (gdbpy_lookup_type): Likewise. * python/py-value.c (valpy_lazy_string, valpy_string): Likewise. * python/python.c (execute_gdb_command, gdbpy_write, gdbpy_flush): Likewise.

2017-02-10Turn gdbpy_ref into a templateTom Tromey1-21/+21
This turns gdbpy_ref into a template class, so that it can be used to wrap subclasses of PyObject. The default argument remains PyObject; and this necessitated renaming uses of "gdbpy_ref" to "gdbpy_ref<>". gdb/ChangeLog 2017-02-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/py-ref.h (gdbpy_ref_policy): Now a template. (gdbpy_ref): Now a template; allow subclasses of PyObject to be used. * python/py-arch.c, python/py-bpevent.c, python/py-breakpoint.c, python/py-cmd.c, python/py-continueevent.c, python/py-event.c, python/py-exitedevent.c, python/py-finishbreakpoint.c, python/py-framefilter.c, python/py-function.c, python/py-inferior.c, python/py-infevents.c, python/py-linetable.c, python/py-newobjfileevent.c, python/py-param.c, python/py-prettyprint.c, python/py-ref.h, python/py-signalevent.c, python/py-stopevent.c, python/py-symbol.c, python/py-threadevent.c, python/py-type.c, python/py-unwind.c, python/py-utils.c, python/py-value.c, python/py-varobj.c, python/py-xmethods.c, python/python.c, varobj.c: Change gdbpy_ref to gdbpy_ref<>.
2017-01-10Use gdbpy_ref in py-cmd.cTom Tromey1-51/+30
This changes py-cmd.c to use gdbpy_ref in more places. This also fixes a latent memory leak in cmdpy_completer_helper, which unnecessarily increfs the result of PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs. This is not needed because that function returns a new reference. 2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_completer_helper): Use gdbpy_ref. Remove extra incref. (cmdpy_completer_handle_brkchars, cmdpy_completer, cmdpy_init): Use gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-10Use gdbpy_enter in cmdpy_functionTom Tromey1-16/+10
This changes cmdpy_function to use gdbpy_enter and gdbpy_ref. 2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_function): Use gdbpy_enter, gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-10Use gdbpy_enter in py-cmd.cTom Tromey1-10/+3
Change py-cmd.c to use gdbpy_enter. 2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_destroyer) (cmdpy_completer_handle_brkchars, cmdpy_completer): Use gdbpy_enter.
2017-01-10Use gdbpy_ref in gdbpy_string_to_argvTom Tromey1-8/+5
This chanes gdbpy_string_to_argv to use gdbpy_ref. 2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python/py-cmd.c (gdbpy_string_to_argv): Use gdbpy_ref.
2017-01-01update copyright year range in GDB filesJoel Brobecker1-1/+1
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files. gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
2016-11-09Use unique_xmalloc_ptr in Python codeTom Tromey1-9/+8
This changes some utility functions in the Python code to return unique_xmalloc_ptr, and then fixes up the callers. I chose unique_xmalloc_ptr rather than std::string because at a few call points the xmalloc'd string is released and ownership transferred elsewhere. This patch found a few existing memory leaks. For example, py-unwind.c called gdbpy_obj_to_string but never freed the result. Built and regression tested on the buildbot. 2016-11-09 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * varobj.h (varobj_get_display_hint): Change return type. * varobj.c (varobj_get_display_hint): Return unique_xmalloc_ptr.
