2024-06-24Don't obstack-allocate the call site hash tableTom Tromey1-2/+12
The call site hash table is the last hash table using obstack allocation. In one large (non-public) test case, these hash tables take a substiantial amount of memory. Some of this memory is wasted -- whenever the hash table is resized, the old table is not freed. This patch fixes the problem by changing this hash table to be heap-allocated. This means that resizing will no longer "leak" memory.
2024-06-24Add compunit_symtab::forget_cached_source_infoTom Tromey1-0/+9
It seemed cleaner to me for compunit_symtab to have a forget_cached_source_info method, then for the objfile to know how to do this.
2024-06-14Introduce language_defn::lookup_symbol_localTom Tromey1-13/+9
This introduces the new method language_defn::lookup_symbol_local, and then changes lookup_symbol_local to use it. This removes an explicit language check from this function, and makes it easier for other languages to hook into this code.
2024-06-14Remove an unnecessary null check from lookup_local_symbolTom Tromey1-1/+1
lookup_local_symbol checks whether 'function' is null before calling block::inlined_p, but this is not necessary.
2024-06-14Simplify lookup_local_symbolTom Tromey1-8/+3
This simplifies lookup_local_symbol a little, by having it check whether the current block is the static or global block, instead of first searching for the static block.
2024-06-14Examine template symbols in lookup_local_symbolTom Tromey1-3/+13
This changes lookup_local_symbol to directly examine any attached template symbols, rather than gating this lookup on the use of C++ or Fortran. As mentioned in an earlier patch, these objects are not necessarily C++-specific, and doing the search generically seems better. This also renames cp_lookup_symbol_imports_or_template now that the "template" part has been removed.
2024-06-14Move search_symbol_list to symtab.cTom Tromey1-0/+13
This moves search_symbol_list to symtab.c and exports it. It will be useful in a later patch.
2024-06-10Make global_symbol_searcher::filenames privateTom Tromey1-23/+19
This patch renames global_symbol_searcher::filenames and makes it private, adding a new method to append a filename to the vector. This also cleans up memory management here, removing an alloca from rbreak, and removing a somewhat ugly SCOPE_EXIT from the Python code, in favor of having global_symbol_searcher manage the memory itself. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38.

2024-04-25gdb: remove gdbcmd.hSimon Marchi1-1/+0
Most files including gdbcmd.h currently rely on it to access things actually declared in cli/cli-cmds.h (setlist, showlist, etc). To make things easy, replace all includes of gdbcmd.h with includes of cli/cli-cmds.h. This might lead to some unused includes of cli/cli-cmds.h, but it's harmless, and much faster than going through the 170 or so files by hand.

Consider the following test-case: ... $ cat hello.c int main() { printf("hello "); #include "world.inc" $ cat world.inc printf("world\n"); return 0; } $ gcc -g hello.c ... The line table for the compilation unit, consisting just of function main, is translated into these two gdb line tables, one for hello.c and one for world.inc: ... compunit_symtab: hello.c symtab: hello.c INDEX LINE REL-ADDRESS UNREL-ADDRESS IS-STMT PROLOGUE-END EPILOGUE-BEGIN 0 3 0x400557 0x400557 Y 1 4 0x40055b 0x40055b Y 2 END 0x40056a 0x40056a Y compunit_symtab: hello.c symtab: world.inc INDEX LINE REL-ADDRESS UNREL-ADDRESS IS-STMT PROLOGUE-END EPILOGUE-BEGIN 0 1 0x40056a 0x40056a Y 1 2 0x400574 0x400574 Y 2 3 0x400579 0x400579 Y 3 END 0x40057b 0x40057b Y ...

We won't find it using find_epilogue_using_linetable, because it does: ... const struct symtab_and_line sal = find_pc_line (start_pc, 0); ... which gets us the line table for hello.c.

2024-03-19Speed up lookup of "type_specific_data"Tom Tromey1-10/+12
I noticed that "info locals" on a certain large Ada program was very slow. I tracked this down to ada_get_tsd_type expanding nearly every CU in the program. This patch fixes the problem by changing this code to use the more efficient lookup_transparent_type which, unlike the Ada-specific lookup functions, does not try to find all matching instances. Note that I first tried fixing this by changing ada_find_any_type, but this did not work -- I may revisit this approach at some later date. Also note that the copyright dates on the test files are set that way because I copied them from another test. New in v2: the new test failed on the Linaro regression tester. Looking at the logs, it seems that gdb was picking up a 'value' from libgnat: $1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0xf7e227a4 <ada.calendar.formatting.value> This version renames the local variable in an attempt to work around this. v3: In v2, while trying to reproduce the problem locally, I accidentally forgot to commit one of the changes.

I noticed that basic_lookup_transparent_type calls two different functions that both proceed to create a lookup_name_info. It's more efficient to create this object in the outermost layer possible. Making this change required a few related changes, resulting in this patch. There are still more changes of this sort that could be made. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38.

2024-01-29gdb: Use SYM_DOMAIN instead of DOMAIN when calling sym-domains.defLancelot SIX1-8/+8
Since commit 6771fc6f1d9 "Use a .def file for domain_enum", the sym-domains.def file has been introduced, and requires the user to define the DOMAIN(x) macro. On older systems (centos-7 with glibc-2.17 for example), this DOMAIN macro conflicts with another macro defined in /usr/include/math.h.

This changes find_main_name to restrict its search to the function domain.
2024-01-28Use the new symbol domainsTom Tromey1-71/+33
This patch changes the DWARF reader to use the new symbol domains. It also adjusts many bits of associated code to adapt to this change. The non-DWARF readers are updated on a best-effort basis. This is somewhat simpler since most of them only support C and C++. I have no way to test a few of these. I went back and forth a few times on how to handle the "tag" situation. The basic problem is that C has a special namespace for tags, which is separate from the type namespace. Other languages don't do this. So, the question is, should a DW_TAG_structure_type end up in the tag domain, or the type domain, or should it be language-dependent? I settled on making it language-dependent using a thought experiment. Suppose there was a Rust compiler that only emitted nameless DW_TAG_structure_type objects, and specified all structure type names using DW_TAG_typedef. This DWARF would be correct, in that it faithfully represents the source language -- but would not work with a purely struct-domain implementation in gdb. Therefore gdb would be wrong. Now, this approach is a little tricky for C++, which uses tags but also enters a typedef for them. I notice that some other readers -- like stabsread -- actually emit a typedef symbol as well. And, I think this is a reasonable approach. It uses more memory, but it makes the internals simpler. However, DWARF never did this for whatever reason, and so in the interest of keeping the series slightly shorter, I've left some C++-specific hacks in place here. Note that this patch includes language_minimal as a language that uses tags. I did this to avoid regressing gdb.dwarf2/debug-names-tu.exp, which doesn't specify the language for a type unit. Arguably this test case is wrong. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30164
2024-01-28Remove old symbol_matches_domainTom Tromey1-20/+0
Nothing calls the variant of symbol_matches_domain that accepts a domain_enum for searching, so this patch removes it and the corresponding symbol::matches.
2024-01-28Use domain_search_flags in lookup_symbol et alTom Tromey1-73/+65
This changes lookup_symbol and associated APIs to accept domain_search_flags rather than a domain_enum. Note that this introduces some new constants to Python and Guile. I chose to break out the documentation patch for this, because the internals here do not change until a later patch, and it seemed simpler to patch the docs just once, rather than twice.
2024-01-28Use domain_search_flags in lookup_global_symbol_languageTom Tromey1-4/+3
This changes quick_symbol_functions::lookup_global_symbol_language to accept domain_search_flags rather than just a domain_enum, and fixes up the fallout. To avoid introducing any regressions, any code passing VAR_DOMAIN now uses SEARCH_VFT. That is, no visible changes should result from this patch. However, it sets the stage to refine some searches later on.
2024-01-28Introduce "scripting" domainsTom Tromey1-0/+42
The Python and Guile code exposed the internal domain constants both as attributes of symbols and as values to pass to lookup functions. Now, perfect backward compatibility here can't be achieved: some symbols are going to have domain changes by the end of this series. However, it seemed to me that we can preserve lookups using the basic domain values. This patch implements this by exporting the "or"-able search constants with an extra bit set. Then it introduces some functions to convert such constants to domain_search_flags. This will be used by the Python and Guile code, so that both old- and new-style lookups will work properly; and while preserving the idea that the domain constants can be compared to a symbol's domain.
2024-01-28Remove a check of VAR_DOMAINTom Tromey1-1/+0
completion_list_add_symbol checks that the returned symbol has VAR_DOMAIN, but also checks that its address class is LOC_BLOCK. The domain check is redundant -- only functions can possibly be LOC_BLOCK -- and leaving this in place will cause a regression when combined with a later patch in this series. This patch preemptively removes the redundant check.

This patch changes gdb to replace search_domain with domain_search_flags everywhere. search_domain is removed.
2024-01-28Add domain_search_flagsTom Tromey1-0/+50
This adds a new flag enum type, domain_search_flags, which is the flag version of domain_enum. Nothing uses this yet, but the goal here is to have all symbol searches and lookups use these flags. The new names are chosen to exactly parallel domain_enum.
2024-01-28Use a .def file for domain_enumTom Tromey1-6/+4
Future patches will change and reuse the names from domain_enum. This patch makes this less error-prone by having a single point to define these names, using the typical gdb ".def" file.

2024-01-02PowerPC and aarch64: Fix reverse stepping failureCarl Love1-0/+50
When running GDB's testsuite on aarch64-linux/Ubuntu 20.04 (also spotted on the ppc backend), there are failures in gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp and gdb.reverse/solib-reverse.exp. The failure happens around the following code: 38 b[1] = shr2(17); /* middle part two */ 40 b[0] = 6; b[1] = 9; /* generic statement, end part two */ 42 shr1 ("message 1\n"); /* shr1 one */ Normal execution: - step from line 38 will land on line 40. - step from line 40 will land on line 42. Reverse execution: - step from line 42 will land on line 40. - step from line 40 will land on line 40. - step from line 40 will land on line 38. The problem here is that line 40 contains two contiguous but distinct PC ranges in the line table, like so: Line 40 - [0x7ec ~ 0x7f4] Line 40 - [0x7f4 ~ 0x7fc] The two distinct ranges are generated because GCC started outputting source column information, which GDB doesn't take into account at the moment. When stepping forward from line 40, we skip both of these ranges and land on line 42. When stepping backward from line 42, we stop at the start PC of the second (or first, going backwards) range of line 40. Since we've reached ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_start, we stop stepping backwards. The above issues were fixed by introducing a new function that looks for adjacent PC ranges for the same line, until we notice a line change. Then we take that as the start PC of the range. The new start PC for the range is used for the control.step_range_start when setting up a step range. The test case gdb.reverse/map-to-same-line.exp is added to test the fix for the above reverse step issues. Patch has been tested on PowerPC, X86 and AArch64 with no regressions.
2024-01-02gdb/dwarf2: Add support for DW_LNS_set_epilogue_begin in line-tableGuinevere Larsen1-0/+41
This commit adds a mechanism for GDB to detect the linetable opcode DW_LNS_set_epilogue_begin. This opcode is set by compilers to indicate that a certain instruction marks the point where the frame is destroyed. While the standard allows for multiple points marked with epilogue_begin in the same function, for performance reasons, the function that searches for the epilogue address will only find the last address that sets this flag for a given block. This commit also changes amd64_stack_frame_destroyed_p_1 to attempt to use the epilogue begin directly, and only if an epilogue can't be found will it attempt heuristics based on the current instruction. Finally, this commit also changes the dwarf assembler to be able to emit epilogue-begin instructions, to make it easier to test this patch Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2023-12-08gdb: Guarantee that an SAL's end is right before the next statementGuinevere Larsen1-2/+8
When examining a failure that happens when testing gdb.python/py-symtab.c with clang, I noticed that it was going wrong because the test assumed that whenever we get an SAL, its end would always be right before statement in the line table. This is true for GCC compiled binaries, since gcc only adds statements to the line table, but not true for clang compiled binaries. This is the second time I run into a problem where GDB doesn't handle non-statement line table entries correctly. The other was eventually committed as 9ab50efc463ff723b8e9102f1f68a6983d320517: "gdb: fix until behavior with trailing !is_stmt lines", but that commit only changes the behavior for the 'until' command. In this patch I propose a more general solution, making it so every time we generate the SAL for a given pc, we set the end of the SAL to before the next statement or the first instruciton in the next line, instead of naively assuming that to be the case. With this new change, the edge case is removed from the processing of the 'until' command without regressing the accompanying test case, and no other regressions were observed in the testsuite.

2023-11-21gdb: Use std::string_view instead of gdb::string_viewLancelot Six1-7/+7
Given that GDB now requires a C++17, replace all uses of gdb::string_view with std::string_view. This change has mostly been done automatically: - gdb::string_view -> std::string_view - #include "gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h" -> #include <string_view> One things which got brought up during review is that gdb::stging_view does support being built from "nullptr" while std::sting_view does not. Two places are manually adjusted to account for this difference: gdb/tui/tui-io.c:tui_getc_1 and gdbsupport/format.h:format_piece::format_piece. The above automatic change transformed "gdb::to_string (const gdb::string_view &)" into "gdb::to_string (const std::string_view &)". The various direct users of this function are now explicitly including "gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h". A later patch will remove the users of gdb::to_string. The implementation and tests of gdb::string_view are unchanged, they will be removed in a following patch.

2023-10-10gdb: remove target_gdbarchSimon Marchi1-3/+3
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.

2023-10-05gdb: add all_objfiles_removed observerSimon Marchi1-6/+13
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.

2023-10-05gdb: add program_space parameters to some functions in symtab.cSimon Marchi1-18/+21
Add some program_space parameters to functions related to getting and setting the main name, making the references to current_program_space bubble up a bit. find_main_name calls ada_main_name, which implicitly relies on the current program space, so I didn't add a parameter to that function.

2023-09-28gdb: remove one user of the executable changed observerAndrew Burgess1-11/+7
My goal for the next few commits is to expose the executable_changed observable from the Python API. However, there is call to the executable_changed observable in the reread_symbols function (in symfile.c), and this doesn't actually correspond to the executable changing. My idea then, is to remove this use of the executable_changed observable, but, before I can do that, I need to check that nothing is going to break, and that requires my to think about the current users of this observable. One current user of executable_changed is in symtab.c. We add an executable_changed observer that calls: set_main_name (nullptr, language_unknown); to discard all information about the main function when the executable changes. However, changing the executable doesn't actually change the debug information. The debug information changes when the symbol-file changes, so I think this observer is in slightly the wrong place. The new_objfile observable is (unfortunately) overloaded, it is called when a new objfile is loaded, and also (when its argument is nullptr), when all debug information should be discarded. It turns out that there is already a new_objfile observer in symtab.c. I propose that, when the argument is nullptr (indicating all debug info should be discarded), that we should call set_main_name to discard the information about the main function. We can then remove the executable_changed observer from symtab.c. All tests still pass, and, in my local world, I added some debug printf calls, and I think we are still discarded the main information everywhere we need to. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2023-09-20Remove explanatory comments from includesTom Tromey1-1/+1
I noticed a comment by an include and remembered that I think these don't really provide much value -- sometimes they are just editorial, and sometimes they are obsolete. I think it's better to just remove them. Tested by rebuilding. Approved-By: Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>
