This changes gdb to use the C++17 [[fallthrough]] attribute rather
than special comments.
This was mostly done by script, but I neglected a few spellings and so
also fixed it up by hand.
I suspect this fixes the bug mentioned below, by switching to a
standard approach that, presumably, clang supports.

Since GDB now requires C++17, we don't need the internally maintained
gdb::optional implementation. This patch does the following replacing:
- gdb::optional -> std::optional
- gdb::in_place -> std::in_place
- #include "gdbsupport/gdb_optional.h" -> #include <optional>
This change has mostly been done automatically. One exception is
gdbsupport/thread-pool.* which did not use the gdb:: prefix as it
already lives in the gdb namespace.

In the following commit I ran into a problem. The next commit aims to
improve GDB's handling of the main executable being a file on a remote
target (i.e. one with a 'target:' prefix).
To do this I have replaced a system 'stat' call with a bfd_stat call.
However, doing this caused a regression in gdb.base/attach.exp.
The problem is that the bfd library caches open FILE* handles for bfd
objects that it has accessed, which is great for short-lived, non
interactive programs (e.g. the assembler, or objcopy, etc), however,
for GDB this caching causes us a problem.
If we open the main executable as a bfd then the bfd library will
cache the open FILE*. If some time passes, maybe just sat at the GDB
prompt, or with the inferior running, and then later we use bfd_stat
to check if the underlying, on-disk file has changed, then the bfd
library will actually use fstat on the underlying file descriptor.
This is of course slightly different than using system stat on with
the on-disk file name.
If the on-disk file has changed then system stat will give results for
the current on-disk file. But, if the bfd cache is still holding open
the file descriptor for the original on-disk file (from before the
change) then fstat will return a result based on the original file,
and so show no change as having happened.
This is a known problem in GDB, and so far this has been solved by
scattering bfd_cache_close_all() calls throughout GDB. But, as I
said, in the next commit I've made a change and run into a
problem (gdb.base/attach.exp) where we are apparently missing a
bfd_cache_close_all() call.
Now I could solve this problem by adding a bfd_cache_close_all() call
before the bfd_stat call that I plan to add in the next commit, that
would for sure solve the problem, but feels a little crude.
Better I think would be to track down where the bfd is being opened
and add a corresponding bfd_cache_close_all() call elsewhere in GDB
once we've finished doing whatever it is that caused us to open the
bfd in the first place.
This second solution felt like the better choice, so I tracked the
problem down to elf_locate_base and fixed that. But that just exposed
another problem in gdb_bfd_map_section which was also re-opening the
bfd, so I fixed this (with another bfd_cache_close_all() call), and
that exposed another issue in gdbarch_lookup_osabi... and at this
point I wondered if I was approaching this problem the wrong way...
.... And so, I wonder, is there a _better_ way to handle these
bfd_cache_close_all() calls?
I see two problems with the current approach:
1. It's fragile. Folk aren't always aware that they need to clear
the bfd cache, and this feels like something that is easy to
overlook in review. So adding new code to GDB can innocently touch
a bfd, which populates the cache, which will then be a bug that can
lie hidden until an on-disk file just happens to change at the wrong
time ... and GDB fails to spot the change. Additionally,
2. It's in efficient. The caching is intended to stop the bfd
library from continually having to re-open the on-disk file. If we
have a function that touches a bfd then often that function is the
obvious place to call bfd_cache_close_all. But if a single GDB
command calls multiple functions, each of which touch the bfd, then
we will end up opening and closing the same on-disk file multiple
times. It feels like we would be better postponing the
bfd_cache_close_all call until some later point, then we can benefit
from the bfd cache.
So, in this commit I propose a new approach. We now clear the bfd
cache in two places:
(a) Just before we display a GDB prompt. We display a prompt after
completing a command, and GDB is about to enter an idle state
waiting for further input from the user (or in async mode, for an
inferior event). If while we are in this idle state the user
changes the on-disk file(s) then we would like GDB to notice this
the next time it leaves its idle state, e.g. the next time the user
executes a command, or when an inferior event arrives,
(b) When we resume the inferior. In synchronous mode, resuming the
inferior is another time when GDB is blocked and sitting idle, but
in this case we don't display a prompt. As with (a) above, when an
inferior event arrives we want GDB to notice any changes to on-disk
files.
It turns out that there are existing observers for both of these
cases (before_prompt and target_resumed respectively), so my initial
thought was that I should attach to these observers in gdb_bfd.c, and
in both cases call bfd_cache_close_all().
And this does indeed solve the gdb.base/attach.exp problem that I see
with the following commit.
However, I see a problem with this solution.
Both of the observers I'm using are exposed through the Python API as
events that a user can hook into. The user can potentially run any
GDB command (using gdb.execute), so Python code might end up causing
some bfds to be reopened, and inserted into the cache.
To solve this one solution would be to add a bfd_cache_close_all()
call into gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter(). Unfortunately, there's no
similar enter/exit object for Guile, though right now Guile doesn't
offer the same event API, so maybe we could just ignore that
problem... but this doesn't feel great.
So instead, I think a better solution might be to not use observers
for the bfd_cache_close_all() calls. Instead, I'll call
bfd_cache_close_all() directly from core GDB after we've notified the
before_prompt and target_resumed observers, this was we can be sure
that the cache is cleared after the observers have run, and before GDB
enters an idle state.
This commit also removes all of the other bfd_cache_close_all() calls
from GDB. My claim is that these are no longer needed.

Remove get_current_regcache, inlining the call to get_thread_regcache in
callers. When possible, pass the right thread_info object known from
the local context. Otherwise, fall back to passing `inferior_thread ()`.
This makes the reference to global context bubble up one level, a small
step towards the long term goal of reducing the number of references to
global context (or rather, moving those references as close as possible
to the top of the call tree).
No behavior change expected.

This function is just a wrapper around the current inferior's gdbarch.
I find that having that wrapper just obscures where the arch is coming
from, and that it's often used as "I don't know which arch to use so
I'll use this magical target_gdbarch function that gets me an arch" when
the arch should in fact come from something in the context (a thread,
objfile, symbol, etc). I think that removing it and inlining
`current_inferior ()->arch ()` everywhere will make it a bit clearer
where that arch comes from and will trigger people into reflecting
whether this is the right place to get the arch or not.

The new_objfile observer is currently used to indicate both when a new
objfile is added to program space (when passed non-nullptr) and when all
objfiles of a program space were just removed (when passed nullptr).
I think this is confusing (and Andrew apparently thinks so too [1]).
Add a new "all_objfiles_removed" observer to remove the second role from
"new_objfile".
Some existing users of new_objfile do nothing if the passed objfile is
nullptr. For them, we can simply drop the nullptr check. For others,
add a new all_objfiles_removed callback, and refactor things a bit to
keep the existing behavior as much as possible.
Some callbacks relied on current_program_space, and following
the refactoring now use either objfile->pspace or the pspace passed to
all_objfiles_removed. I think this should be relatively safe, and in
general a step in the right direction.
On the notify side, I found only one call site to change from
new_objfile to all_objfiles_removed, in clear_symtab_users. It is not
entirely clear to me that this is entirely correct. clear_symtab_users
appears to be called in spots that don't remove all objfiles
(functions finish_new_objfile, remove_symbol_file_command, reread_symbols,
do_module_cleanups). But I think that this patch at least makes the
current code clearer.

When using a remote target, it is possible to tell GDB that the
executable to be debugged is located on the remote machine, like this:
(gdb) target extended-remote :54321
... snip ...
(gdb) file target:/tmp/hello.x
Reading /tmp/hello.x from remote target...
warning: File transfers from remote targets can be slow. Use "set sysroot" to access files locally instead.
Reading /tmp/hello.x from remote target...
Reading symbols from target:/tmp/hello.x...
(gdb)
So far so good. However, when we try to start the inferior we run
into a small problem:
(gdb) set remote exec-file /tmp/hello.x
(gdb) start
`target:/tmp/hello.x' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x401198: file /tmp/hello.c, line 18.
Starting program: target:/tmp/hello.x
... snip ...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at /tmp/hello.c:18
18 printf ("Hello World\n");
(gdb)
Notice this line:
`target:/tmp/hello.x' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
That's wrong, the executable hasn't been removed, GDB just doesn't
know how to check if the remote file has changed, and so falls back to
assuming that the file has been removed.
In this commit I update reread_symbols to use bfd_stat instead of
a direct stat call, this adds support for target: files, and fixes the
problem.
This change was proposed before in this commit:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20200114210956.25115-3-tromey@adacore.com/
However, that patch never got merged, and seemed to get stuck
discussing issues around gnulib stat vs system stat as used by BFD.
I didn't 100% understand the issues discussed in that thread, however,
I think the problem with the previous thread related to the changes in
gdb_bfd.c, rather than to the change in symfile.c. As such, I think
this change might be acceptable, my reasoning is:
- the objfile::mtime field is set by a call to bfd_get_mtime (see
objfiles.c), which calls bfd_stat under the hood. This will end
up using the system stat,
- In symfile.c we currently call stat directly, which will call the
gnulib stat, which, if I understand the above thread correctly,
might give a different result to the system stat in some cases,
- By switching to using bfd_stat in symfile.c we should now be
consistently calling the system stat.
There is another issue that came up during testing that this commit
fixes. Consider this GDB session:
$ gdb -q
(gdb) target extended-remote | ./gdbserver/gdbserver --multi --once -
Remote debugging using | ./gdbserver/gdbserver --multi --once -
Remote debugging using stdio
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.x
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
(gdb) set remote exec-file /tmp/hello.x
(gdb) start
... snip ...
(gdb) load
`system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
Loading section .interp, size 0x1c lma 0x4002a8
... snip ...
Start address 0x0000000000401050, load size 2004
Transfer rate: 326 KB/sec, 87 bytes/write.
Notice this line:
`system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
We actually see the same output, for the same reasons, when using a
native target, like this:
$ gdb -q
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.x
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
(gdb) start
... snip ...
(gdb) load
`system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
You can't do that when your target is `native'
(gdb)
In both cases this line appears because load_command (symfile.c) calls
reread_symbols, and reread_symbols loops over every currently loaded
objfile and tries to check if the file has changed on disk by calling
stat.
However, the `system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000' is an in-memory
BFD, the filename for this BFD is literally the string
'system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000'.
Before this commit GDB would try to use the system 'stat' call to stat
the file `system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000', which obviously
fails; there's no file with that name (usually). As a consequence of
the stat failing GDB prints the ' .... has disappeared ...' line.
Initially, all this commit did was switch from using 'stat' to using
'bfd_stat'. Calling bfd_stat on an in-memory BFD works just fine,
however, BFD just fills the 'struct stat' buffer with zeros (except
for the file size), see memory_bstat in bfd/bfdio.c.
However, there is a bit of a weirdness about in-memory BFDs. When
they are initially created the libbfd caches an mtime within the bfd
object, this is done in bfd_from_remote_memory (elfcode.h), the cached
mtime is the time at which the in-memory BFD is created.
What this means is that when GDB creates the in-memory BFD, and we
call bfd_get_mtime(), the value returned, which GDB caches within
objfile::mtime is the creation time of the in-memory BFD. But, when
this patch changes to use bfd_stat() we now get back 0, and so we
believe that the in-memory BFD has changed. This is a change in
behaviour.
To avoid this change in behaviour, in this commit, I propose that we
always skip in-memory BFDs in reread_symbols. This preserves the
behaviour from before this commit -- mostly.
As I'm not specifically checking for, and then skipping, in-memory
BFDs, we no longer see this line:
`system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
Which I think is an improvement.

This started with me running into this comment in symfile.c:
/* FIXME, should use print_sys_errmsg but it's not filtered. */
gdb_printf (_("`%ps' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.\n"),
styled_string (file_name_style.style (), filename));
In this particular case I think I disagree with the comment; I think
the output should be a warning rather than just a message printed to
gdb_stdout, I think when the executable, or some other objfile that is
currently being debugged, disappears from disk, this is likely an
unexpected situation, and worth warning the user about.
So, in theory, I could just call print_sys_errmsg and remove the
comment, but that would mean loosing the filename styling in the
output... so in the end I remove the comment and updated the code to
call warning.
But that got me looking at print_sys_errmsg and how it's used.
Currently the function takes a string and an errno, and prints, to
stderr, the string followed by the result of calling strerror on the
errno.
In some places the string passed to print_sys_errmsg is just a
filename, and this is used when something goes wrong. In these cases,
I think calling warning rather than gdb_printf to gdb_stderr, would be
better, and in fact, in a couple of places we manually print a
"warning" prefix, and then call print_sys_errmsg. And so, for these
users I have added a new function warning_filename_and_errno, which
takes a filename, which is printed with styling, and an errno, which
is passed through strerror and the resulting string printed. This new
function calls warning to print its output. I then updated some of
the print_sys_errmsg users to use this new function.
Some other users of print_sys_errmsg are also emitting what is clearly
a warning, however, the string being passed in is more than just a
filename, so the new warning_filename_and_errno function can't be
used, it would style the whole string. For these users I have
switched to calling warning directly, this allows me to style the
warning message correctly.
Finally, in inflow.c there is one last call to print_sys_errmsg, in
this case I just inlined the definition of print_sys_errmsg. This is
a really weird case, as after printing this message GDB just does a
hard exit. This is pretty old code, dating back to the initial GDB
import, I guess it should be updated to call error() maybe, but I'm
reluctant to make this change as part of this commit, just in case
there's some reason why we can't throw an error at this point.
With that done there are now no users of print_sys_errmsg, and so the
old function can be removed.
While I was doing all of the above I added some additional filename
styling in soure.c, this is in an else block where the if contained
the print_sys_errmsg call, so these felt related.
And finally, while I was updating the uses of print_sys_errmsg in
procfs.c, I noticed that we used a static errmsg buffer to format some
error strings. As the above changes got rid of one of the users of
errmsg I also removed the other two users, and the static buffer.
There were a couple of tests that depended on the existing output
message format that needed updating. In one case we gained an extra
'warning: ' prefix, and in the other 'Warning: ' becomes 'warning: ',
I think in both cases the new output is an improvement.

While working on some other patch I noticed that in reread_symbols
there is a diagnostic message that can be printed, and in some cases
we might use the wrong filename in the message.
The code in question is checking to see if an objfile has changed on
disk, we do this by stat-ing the on disk file and checking the mtime.
If this file has been removed from disk then we print a message that
the file has been removed, however, if the objfile is within an
archive then we stat the archive itself, but then warn that the
component within the archive has disappeared. I think it makes more
sense to say that the archive has disappeared.
The last related commit is this one:
commit 02aeec7bde8ec8a04d14a5637e75f1c6ab899e23
Date: Tue Apr 27 21:01:30 2010 +0000
Check library name rather than member name when rereading symbols.
Though this just makes the code to stat the archive unconditional, the
code in question existed before this commit.
However, the above commit doesn't include any tests, and seems to
indicate that the problem being addressed was seen on Darwin. I'm not
sure how to setup a test where GDB is using an objfile from within an
archive, and so there's no tests for this commit...
... but if someone can let me know how I can setup a suitable test,
please let me know and I'll try to get something working.

While the second originates from:
#0 exec_file_attach (filename=0x3d7a1d0 "/tmp/hello.x", from_tty=0) at ../../src/gdb/exec.c:513
#1 0x0000000000dfe525 in reread_symbols (from_tty=1) at ../../src/gdb/symfile.c:2517

In the first case the call to exec_file_attach first passes through
reopen_exec_file. The reopen_exec_file performs a modification time
check on the executable file, and only calls exec_file_attach if the
executable has changed on disk since it was last loaded.
However, in the second case things work a little differently. In this
case GDB is really trying to reread the debug symbol. As such, we
iterate over the objfiles list, and for each of those we check the
modification time, if the file on disk has changed then we reload the
debug symbols from that file.
However, there is an additional check, if the objfile has the same
name as the executable then we will call exec_file_attach, but we do
so without checking the cached modification time that indicates when
the executable was last reloaded, as a result, we reload the
executable twice.
In this commit I propose that reread_symbols be changed to
unconditionally call reopen_exec_file before performing the objfile
iteration. This will ensure that, if the executable has changed, then
the executable will be reloaded, however, if the executable has
already been recently reloaded, we will not reload it for a second
time.
After handling the executable, GDB can then iterate over the objfiles
list and reload them in the normal way.
With this done I now see the executable reloaded only once when GDB
restarts an inferior, which means I can remove the kfail that I added
to the gdb.python/py-exec-file.exp test in the previous commit.

This commit continues the work of the previous two commits.
My goal, in the next couple of commits, is to expose the
executable_changed observable in the Python API as an event. However,
before I do that I want to remove the use of the executable_changed
observable from the reread_symbols function in symfile.c as this use
isn't directly associated with a change of the executable file, and so
seems wrong.
In the previous two commits I have removed all users of the
executable_changed observer as I believe those users can, and should,
actually be listening for the new_objfile observable instead, so now
there are no users of the executable_changed observable.
As such, I think removing the use of executable_changed from the
function reread_symbols is perfectly safe, and correct. At this point
the executable has not been changed, so we shouldn't be sending an
executable_changed notification, and, as there is nobody listening to
this observable, we can't break anything by removing this call.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

to guard the one statement that should only happen when the condition
is not true.
There is one change in this commit though that is (possibly)
significant, there is a call to bfd_cache_close_all() that was only
present in the second block. After this commit we now call that
function for both paths.
The call to bfd_cache_close_all was added in commit:
commit ce7d45220e4ed342d4a77fcd2f312e85e1100971
Date: Fri Jul 30 12:05:45 2004 +0000
with the purpose of ensuring that GDB doesn't hold the BFDs open
unnecessarily, thus preventing the files from being updated on some
hosts (e.g. Win32).
In the early exit case we previously didn't call bfd_cache_close_all,
with the result that GDB would continue to hold open some BFD objects
longer than needed.
After this commit, but calling bfd_cache_close_all for both paths this
problem is solved.
I'm not sure how this change could be tested, I don't believe there's
any GDB (maintenance) command that displays the BFD cache contents, so
we can't check the cache contents easily. Ideas are welcome though.

Spotted a few places where we can add filename styling.

I noticed that some spots in gdb call bfd_set_cacheable after opening
a BFD.
The BFD file cache is a bit odd. BFDs that are opened locally are
unconditionally registered with the cache, and their underlying file
descriptor will always be closed when bfd_cache_close_all is called.
However, only "cacheable" BFDs will be eligible for reopening when
needed -- and by default BFD decides that if a file descriptor is
passed in, then it should not be cacheable. If a non-cacheable BFD's
file descriptor is closed, there is no offical way to reopen it.
gdb needs to call bfd_cache_close_all, because some systems cannot
start an executable when it has an open file descriptor referencing
it.
However, gdb also will sometimes passes an open file descriptor to the
various BFD open functions. And, due to lazy DWARF reading, gdb may
also need to reopen these BFDs.
Rather than having all the callers figure out when exactly to set the
cacheable flag, I think it makes sense to consolidate this logic into
the gdb_bfd.c wrapper functions. It is ok to do this because gdb
always passes a filename to these open functions, so reopening should
work ok.

gdb: defer warnings when loading separate debug files
It was pointed out[1] that the warnings being deferred and then later
emitted lacked styling. The warnings lacked styling before the above
commit, but it was suggested that the filenames in these warnings
should be styled, and this commit does this.
There were a couple of previous attempts[2][3][4] to solve this
problem, but these all tried to extend the mechanism introduced in the
above commit, the deferred warnings were placed directly into a
std::vector, but now we tried to, when appropriate, style these
warnings. The review feedback that this approach looked too complex.
So instead, this revision adds a new helper class 'deferred_warnings'
which can be used to collect a set of deferred warnings, and then emit
these deferred warnings later, if needed. This helper class hides the
complexity, so at the point the deferred warning is created no extra
logic is required.
The deferred_warnings class will style the deferred warnings only if
gdb_stderr supports styling. GDB's warnings are sent to gdb_stderr,
so this should ensure we only style when expected.
There was also review feedback[5] that all of the warnings should be
bundled into a single string_file, this has not been done. I feel
pretty strongly that separate warnings should be emitted using
separate "warning" calls. If we do end up with multiple warnings in
this case they aren't really related, one will be about looking up
debug via .gnu_debuglink, while the other will be about build-id based
lookup. So I'd really rather keep the warnings separate.

PR gdb/29257 points out a possible double free when debuginfod is in
use. Aside from some ugly warts in the symbol code (an ongoing
issue), the underlying issue in this particular case is that elfread.c
seems to assume that symfile_bfd_open will return NULL on error,
whereas in reality it throws an exception. As this code isn't
prepared for an exception, bad things result.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a non-throwing variant of
symfile_bfd_open and using it in the affected places.

Currently, when GDB loads debug information from a separate debug
file, there are a couple of warnings that could be produced if things
go wrong.
In find_separate_debug_file_by_buildid (build-id.c) GDB can give a
warning if the separate debug file doesn't include any actual debug
information, and in separate_debug_file_exists (symfile.c) we can warn
if the CRC checksum in the separate debug file doesn't match the
checksum in the original executable.
The problem here is that, when looking up debug information, GDB will
try several different approaches, lookup by build-id, lookup by
debug-link, and then a lookup from debuginfod. GDB can potentially
give a warning from an earlier attempt, and then succeed with a later
attempt. In the cases I have run into this is primarily a warning
about some out of date debug information on my machine, but then GDB
finds the correct information using debuginfod. This can be confusing
to a user, they will see warnings from GDB when really everything is
working just fine.
For example:
warning: the debug information found in "/usr/lib/debug//lib64/ld-2.32.so.debug" \
does not match "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" (CRC mismatch).
This diagnostic was printed on Fedora 33 even when the correct
debuginfo was downloaded.
In this patch I propose that we defer any warnings related to looking
up debug information from a separate debug file. If any of the
approaches are successful then GDB will not print any of the warnings.
As far as the user is concerned, everything "just worked". Only if
GDB completely fails to find any suitable debug information will the
warnings be printed.
The crc_mismatch test compiles two executables: crc_mismatch and
crc_mismatch-2 and then strips them of debuginfo creating separate
debug files. The test then replaces crc_mismatch-2.debug with
crc_mismatch.debug to trigger "CRC mismatch" warning. A local
debuginfod server is setup to supply the correct debug file, now when
GDB looks up the debug info no warning is given.
The build-id-no-debug-warning.exp is similar to the previous test. It
triggers the "separate debug info file has no debug info" warning by
replacing the build-id based .debug file with the stripped binary and
then loading it to GDB. It then also sets up local debuginfod server
with the correct debug file to download to make sure no warnings are
emitted.

Reading target:/usr/lib/debug/lib64//libcap.so.2.48-2.48-4.fc36.x86_64.debug from remote target...
The second line has the "target:" prefix, but from the code it's clear
that this string is being passed verbatim to gdbserver -- which seems
wrong.
I filed PR remote/29929 for this.

without checking to see if it starts with the "target:" prefix. This

[This patch is a followup to the discussion in
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-August/191188.html]
PR/29426 shows failures when running the gdb.mi/mi-var-invalidate-shlib
test when using a compiler which does not produce a PIE executable by
default.
In the testcase, a varobj is created to track a global variable, and
then the main binary is reloaded in GDB (using the file command).
During the load of the new binary, GDB tries to recreate the varobj to
track the global in the new binary (varobj_invalidate_iter). At this
point, the old process is still in flight. So when we try to access to
the value of the global, in a PIE executable we only have access to the
unrelocated address (the objfile's text_section_offset () is 0). As a
consequence down the line read_value_memory fails to read the unrelated
address, so cannot evaluate the value of the global. Note that the
expression used to access to the global’s value is valid, so the varobj
can be created. When using a non PIE executable, the address of the
global GDB knows about at this point does not need relocation, so
read_value_memory can access the (old binary’s) value.
So at this point, in the case of a non-PIE executable the value field is
set, while it is cleared in the case of PIE executable. Later when the
test issues a "-var-update global_var", the command sees no change in
the case of the non-PIE executable, while in the case of the PIE
executable install_new_value sees that value changes, leading to a
different output.
This patch makes sure that, as we do for breakpoints, we wait until
relocation has happened before we try to recreate varobjs. This way we
have a consistent behavior between PIE and non-PIE binaries.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

This changes struct objfile to use a gdb_bfd_ref_ptr. In addition to
removing some manual memory management, this fixes a use-after-free
that was introduced by the registry rewrite series. The issue there
was that, in some cases, registry shutdown could refer to memory that
had already been freed. This help fix the bug by delaying the
destruction of the BFD reference (and thus the per-bfd object) until
after the registry has been shut down.

Printing macros defined in the main source file doesn't work reliably
using various toolchains, especially when DWARF 5 is used. For example,
using the binaries produced by either of these commands:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 11.2.0
$ ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.38
$ gcc test.c -g3 -gdwarf-5
$ clang --version
clang version 13.0.1
$ clang test.c -gdwarf-5 -fdebug-macro
I get:
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory a.out
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x111d: file test.c, line 6.
Starting program: /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/a.out
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:6
6 return ZERO;
(gdb) p ZERO
No symbol "ZERO" in current context.
When starting to investigate this (taking the gcc-compiled binary as an
example), we see that GDB fails to look up the appropriate macro scope
when evaluating the expression. While stopped in
macro_lookup_inclusion:
(top-gdb) p name
$1 = 0x62100011a980 "test.c"
(top-gdb) p source.filename
$2 = 0x62100011a9a0 "/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/test.c"
`source` is the macro_source_file that we would expect GDB to find.
`name` comes from the symtab::filename field of the symtab we are
stopped in. GDB doesn't find the appropriate macro_source_file because
the name of the macro_source_file doesn't match exactly the name of the
symtab.
The name of the main symtab comes from the compilation unit's
DW_AT_name, passed to the buildsym_compunit's constructor:
https://gitlab.com/gnutools/binutils-gdb/-/blob/4815d6125ec580cc02a1094d61b8c9d1cc83c0a1/gdb/dwarf2/read.c#L10627-10630
The contents of DW_AT_name, in this case, is "test.c". It is typically
(what I witnessed all compilers do) the same string that was passed to
the compiler on the command-line.
The name of the macro_source_file comes from the line number program
header's file table, from the call to the line_header::file_file_name
method:
https://gitlab.com/gnutools/binutils-gdb/-/blob/4815d6125ec580cc02a1094d61b8c9d1cc83c0a1/gdb/dwarf2/macro.c#L54-65
line_header::file_file_name prepends the directory path that the file
entry refers to, in the file table (if the file name is not already
absolute). In this case, the file name is "test.c", appended to the
directory "/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb".
Because the symtab's name is not created the same way as the
macro_source_file's name is created, we get this mismatch. GDB fails to
find the appropriate macro scope for the symtab, and we can't print
macros when stopped in that symtab.
To make this work, we must ensure that paths produced in these two ways
end up identical. This can be tricky because of the different ways a
path can be passed to the compiler by the user.
Another thing to consider is that while the main symtab's name (or
subfile, before it becomes a symtab) is created using DW_AT_name, the
main symtab is also referred to using its entry in the line table
header's file table, when processing the line table. We must therefore
ensure that the same name is produced in both cases, so that a call to
"start_subfile" for the main subfile will correctly find the
already-created subfile, created by buildsym_compunit's constructor. If
we fail to do that, things still often work, because of a fallback: the
watch_main_source_file_lossage method. This method determines that if
the main subfile has no symbols but there exists another subfile with
the same basename (e.g. "test.c") that does have symbols, it's probably
because there was some filename mismatch. So it replaces the main
subfile with that other subfile. I think that heuristic is useful as a
last effort to work around any bug or bad debug info, but I don't think
we should design things such as to rely on it. It's a heuristic, it can
get things wrong. So in my search for a fix, it is important that given
some good debug info, we don't end up relying on that for things to
work.
A first attempt at fixing this was to try to prepend the compilation
directory here or not prepend it there. In practice, because of all the
possible combinations of debug info the compilers produce, it was not
possible to get something that would produce reliable, consistent paths.
Another attempt at fixing this was to make both macro_source_file
objects and symtab objects use the most complete form of path possible.
That means to prepend directories at least until we get an absolute
path. In theory, we should end up with the same path in all cases.
This generally worked, but because it changed the symtab names, it
resulted in user-visible changes (for example, paths to source files in
Breakpoint hit messages becoming always absolute). I didn't find this
very good, first because there is a "set filename-display" setting that
lets the user control how they want the paths to be displayed, and that
would suddenly make this setting completely ineffective (although even
today, it is a bit dependent on the debug info). Second, it would
require a good amount of testsuite tweaks to make tests accept these
suddenly absolute paths.
This new patch is a slight variation of that: it adds a new field called
"filename_for_id" in struct symtab and struct subfile, next to the
existing filename field. The goal is to separate the internal ids used
for finding objects from the names used for presentation. This field is
used for identifying subfiles, symtabs and macro_source_files
internally. For DWARF symtabs, this new field is meant to contain the
"most complete possible" path, as discussed above. So for a given file,
it must always be in the same form, everywhere. The existing
symtab::filename field remains the one used for printing to the user, so
there shouldn't be any change in how paths are printed.
Changes in the core symtab files are:
- Add "name_for_id" and "filename_for_id" fields to "struct subfile"
and "struct symtab", next to existing "name" and "filename" fields.
- Make buildsym_compunit::buildsym_compunit and
buildsym_compunit::start_subfile accept a "name_for_id" parameter
next to the existing "name" ones.
- Make buildsym_compunit::start_subfile use "name_for_id" for looking
up existing subfiles. This is the key thing for making calls
to start_subfile for the main source file look up the existing
subfile successfully, and avoid relying on
watch_main_source_file_lossage.
- Make sal_macro_scope pass "filename_for_id", rather than "filename",
to macro_lookup_inclusion. This is the key thing to making the
lookup work and macro printing work.
Changes in the DWARF files are:
- Make line_header::file_file_name return the "most complete possible"
name. The only pre-existing user of this method is the macro code,
to give the macro_source_file objects their name. And we now want
them to have this "most complete possible" name, which will match the
corresponding symtab's "filename_for_id".
- Make dwarf2_cu::start_compunit_symtab pass the "most complete
possible" name for the main symtab's "filename_for_id". In this
context, where the info comes from the compilation unit's DW_AT_name
/ DW_AT_comp_dir, it means prepending DW_AT_comp_dir to DW_AT_name if
DW_AT_name is not already absolute.
- Change dwarf2_start_subfile to build a name_for_id for the subfile
being started. The simplest way is to re-use
line_header::file_file_name, since the callers always have a
file_entry handy. This ensures that it will get the exact same path
representation as the macro code does, for the same file (since it
also uses line_header::file_file_name).
- Update calls to allocate_symtab to pass the "name_for_id" from the
subfile.
Tests exercising all this are added by the following patch.
Of all the cases I tried, the only one I found that ends up relying on
watch_main_source_file_lossage is the following one:
$ clang --version

Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin
$ clang ./test.c -g3 -O0 -gdwarf-4

[symtab-create] start_subfile: name = ./test.c, name_for_id = /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/./test.c
[symtab-create] start_subfile: found existing symtab with name_for_id /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/./test.c (/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/./test.c)
[symtab-create] watch_main_source_file_lossage: using subfile ./test.c as the main subfile
As we can see, there are two forms used for "test.c", one with a "." and
one without. This comes from the fact that the compilation unit DIE
contains:
DW_AT_name ("test.c")
DW_AT_comp_dir ("/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb")
without a ".", and the line table for that file contains:
include_directories[ 1] = "."
file_names[ 1]:
name: "test.c"
dir_index: 1
When assembling the filename from that entry, we get a ".".
It is a bit unexpected that the main filename resulting from the line
table header does not match exactly the name in the compilation unit.
For instance, gcc uses "./test.c" for the DW_AT_name, which gives
identical paths in the compilation unit and in the line table header.
Similarly, with DWARF 5:
$ clang ./test.c -g3 -O0 -gdwarf-5
clang create two entries that refer to the same file but are of in a different
form.
include_directories[ 0] = "/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb"
include_directories[ 1] = "."
file_names[ 0]:
name: "test.c"
dir_index: 0
file_names[ 1]:
name: "test.c"
dir_index: 1
The first file name produces a path without a "." while the second does.
This is not caught by watch_main_source_file_lossage, because of
dwarf_decode_lines that creates a symtab for each file entry in the line
table. It therefore appears as "non-empty" to
watch_main_source_file_lossage. This results in two symtabs:
(gdb) maintenance info symtabs
{ objfile /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/a.out ((struct objfile *) 0x613000005d00)
{ ((struct compunit_symtab *) 0x62100011aca0)
debugformat DWARF 5
producer clang version 13.0.1
name test.c
dirname /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb

linetable ((struct linetable *) 0x0)
}
{ symtab ./test.c ((struct symtab *) 0x62100011ad60)
fullname (null)
linetable ((struct linetable *) 0x621000129ef0)
}
}
}
I am not sure what is the consequence of this, but this is also what
happens before my patch, so I think its acceptable to leave it as-is.
To handle these two cases nicely, I think we will need a function that
removes the unnecessary "." from path names, something that can be done
later.
Finally, I made a change in find_file_and_directory is necessary to
avoid breaking test
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-compdir-oldgcc.exp: info source gcc42
Without that change, we would get:
(gdb) info source
Current source file is /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
Compilation directory is /dir/d
whereas the expected result is:
(gdb) info source
Current source file is dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
Compilation directory is /dir/d
This test was added here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2012-November/098144.html
Long story short, GCC <= 4.2 apparently had a bug where it would
generate a DW_AT_name with a full path ("/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S")
and no DW_AT_comp_dir. The line table has one entry with filename
"dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S", which refers to directory 0. Directory 0
normally refers to the compilation unit's comp dir, but it is
non-existent in this case.
This caused some symtab lookup problems, and to work around them, some
workaround was added, which today reads as:
if (res.get_comp_dir () == nullptr
&& producer_is_gcc_lt_4_3 (cu)
&& res.get_name () != nullptr
&& IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH (res.get_name ()))
res.set_comp_dir (ldirname (res.get_name ()));
Source: https://gitlab.com/gnutools/binutils-gdb/-/blob/6577f365ebdee7dda71cb996efa29d3714cbccd0/gdb/dwarf2/read.c#L9428-9432
It extracts an artificial DW_AT_comp_dir from DW_AT_name, if there is no
DW_AT_comp_dir and DW_AT_name is absolute.
Prior to my patch, a subfile would get created with filename
"/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S", from DW_AT_name, and another would get
created with filename "dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S" from the line table's
file table. Then watch_main_source_file_lossage would kick in and merge
them, keeping only the "dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S" one:
[symtab-create] start_subfile: name = /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
[symtab-create] start_subfile: name = dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
[symtab-create] start_subfile: name = dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
[symtab-create] start_subfile: found existing symtab with name dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S (dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S)
[symtab-create] watch_main_source_file_lossage: using subfile dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S as the main subfile
And so "info source" would show "dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S" as the
filename.
With my patch applied, but without the change in
find_file_and_directory, both DW_AT_name and the line table would try to
start a subfile with the same filename_for_id, and there was no need for
watch_main_source_file_lossage - which is what we want:
[symtab-create] start_subfile: name = /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S, name_for_id = /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
[symtab-create] start_subfile: name = dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S, name_for_id = /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
[symtab-create] start_subfile: found existing symtab with name_for_id /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S (/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S)
[symtab-create] start_subfile: name = dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S, name_for_id = /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S
[symtab-create] start_subfile: found existing symtab with name_for_id /dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S (/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S)
But since the one with name == "/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S", coming
from DW_AT_name, gets created first, it wins, and the symtab ends up
with "/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S" as the name, "info source" shows
"/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S" and the test breaks.
This is not wrong per-se, after all DW_AT_name is
"/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S", so it wouldn't be wrong to report the
current source file as "/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S". If you compile
a file passing "/an/absolute/path.c", DW_AT_name typically contains (at
least with GCC) "/an/absolute/path.c" and GDB tells you that the source
file is "/an/absolute/path.c". But we can also keep the existing
behavior fairly easily with a little change in find_file_and_directory.
When extracting an artificial DW_AT_comp_dir from DW_AT_name, we now
modify the name to just keep the file part. The result is coherent with
what compilers do when you compile a file by just passing its filename
("gcc path.c -g"):
DW_AT_name ("path.c")
DW_AT_comp_dir ("/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb")
With this change, filename_for_id is still the full name,
"/dir/d/dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S", but the filename of the subfile /
symtab (what ends up shown by "info source") is just
"dw2-compdir-oldgcc42.S", and that makes the test happy.

This rewrites registry.h, removing all the macros and replacing it
with relatively ordinary template classes. The result is less code
than the previous setup. It replaces large macros with a relatively
straightforward C++ class, and now manages its own cleanup.
The existing type-safe "key" class is replaced with the equivalent
template class. This approach ended up requiring relatively few
changes to the users of the registry code in gdb -- code using the key
system just required a small change to the key's declaration.
All existing users of the old C-like API are now converted to use the
type-safe API. This mostly involved changing explicit deletion
functions to be an operator() in a deleter class.
The old "save/free" two-phase process is removed, and replaced with a
single "free" phase. No existing code used both phases.
The old "free" callbacks took a parameter for the enclosing container
object. However, this wasn't truly needed and is removed here as
well.

Remove all macros related to getting and setting some symbol value:
#define SYMBOL_VALUE(symbol) (symbol)->value.ivalue
#define SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS(symbol) \
#define SET_SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS(symbol, new_value) \
#define SYMBOL_VALUE_BYTES(symbol) (symbol)->value.bytes
#define SYMBOL_VALUE_COMMON_BLOCK(symbol) (symbol)->value.common_block
#define SYMBOL_BLOCK_VALUE(symbol) (symbol)->value.block
#define SYMBOL_VALUE_CHAIN(symbol) (symbol)->value.chain
#define MSYMBOL_VALUE(symbol) (symbol)->value.ivalue
#define MSYMBOL_VALUE_RAW_ADDRESS(symbol) ((symbol)->value.address + 0)
#define MSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS(objfile, symbol) \
#define BMSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS(symbol) \
#define SET_MSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS(symbol, new_value) \
#define MSYMBOL_VALUE_BYTES(symbol) (symbol)->value.bytes
#define MSYMBOL_BLOCK_VALUE(symbol) (symbol)->value.block
Replace them with equivalent methods on the appropriate objects.

Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.

This commit adds operator+= and operator+ overloads for adding
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> to a std::string. I could only find 3
places in GDB where this was useful right now, and these all make use
of operator+=.
I've also added a self test for gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>, which
makes use of both operator+= and operator+, so they are both getting
used/tested.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit, except when
running 'maint selftest', where the new self test is visible.

Add a getter and a setter for a symtab's language. Remove the
corresponding macro and adjust all callers.

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.

This changes all existing calls to wrap_here to call the method on the
appropriate ui_file instead. The choice of ui_file is determined by
context.
|
|
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.

In an earlier version of the pager rewrite series, it was important to
audit unfiltered output calls to see which were truly necessary.
This is no longer necessary, but it still seems like a decent cleanup
to change calls to avoid explicitly passing gdb_stdout. That is,
rather than using something like fprintf_unfiltered with gdb_stdout,
the code ought to use plain printf_unfiltered instead.
This patch makes this change. I went ahead and converted all the
_filtered calls I could find, as well, for the same clarity.

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

This moves the gdb_argv class to a new header in gdbsupport.
