2019-01-01Update copyright year range in all GDB files.Joel Brobecker1-1/+1
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.

gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files
2017-03-20Fix spurious FAILs with examine-backward.expAndreas Arnez1-0/+8
The test case examine-backward.exp issues the command "x/-s" after the end of the first string in TestStrings, but without making sure that this string is preceded by a string terminator. Thus GDB may spuriously print some random characters from before that string, and then the test fails. This patch assures that TestStrings is preceded by a string terminator. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/examine-backward.c (Barrier): New character array constant, to ensure that TestStrings is preceded by a string terminator.
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.
2016-06-09Add negative repeat count to 'x' commandToshihito Kikuchi1-0/+106
This change adds support for specifying a negative repeat count to all the formats of the 'x' command to examine memory backward. A new testcase 'examine-backward' is added to cover this new feature. Here's the example output from the new feature: <format 'i'> (gdb) bt #0 Func1 (n=42, p=0x40432e "hogehoge") at main.cpp:5 #1 0x00000000004041fa in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffdff8) at main.cpp:19 (gdb) x/-4i 0x4041fa 0x4041e5 <main(int, char**)+11>: mov %rsi,-0x10(%rbp) 0x4041e9 <main(int, char**)+15>: lea 0x13e(%rip),%rsi 0x4041f0 <main(int, char**)+22>: mov $0x2a,%edi 0x4041f5 <main(int, char**)+27>: callq 0x404147 <format 'x'> (gdb) x/-4xw 0x404200 0x4041f0 <main(int, char**)+22>: 0x00002abf 0xff4de800 0x76e8ffff 0xb8ffffff (gdb) x/-4 0x4041e0 <main(int, char**)+6>: 0x7d8910ec 0x758948fc 0x358d48f0 0x0000013e gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports a negative repeat count in the 'x' command. * printcmd.c (decode_format): Allow '-' in the parameter "string_ptr" to accept a negative repeat count. (find_instruction_backward): New function. (read_memory_backward): New function. (integer_is_zero): New function. (find_string_backward): New function.
