gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
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.

2017-11-16Fix gdb.base/starti.exp racy testPedro Alves1-1/+1
This commit fixes a couple problems with gdb.base/starti.exp, causing spurious FAILs. The first is a double-prompt problem: ~~~ (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/starti.exp: hook-stop starti [....] gdb_expect_list pattern: /\$1 = 0/ $1 = 0 gdb_expect_list pattern: // 0x00007ffff7ddcc80 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (gdb) # EXPECTED PROMPT (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/starti.exp: starti # ANOTHER PROMPT! break main ~~~ This happens because the test uses gdb_test_sequence with no command, like this: gdb_test_sequence "" "starti" { "Program stopped." "\\$1 = 0" } but gdb_test_sequence doesn't have a check for empty command like gdb_test_multiple does, and so sends "\n" to GDB: proc gdb_test_sequence { command test_name expected_output_list } { global gdb_prompt if { $test_name == "" } { set test_name $command } lappend expected_output_list ""; # implicit ".*" before gdb prompt send_gdb "$command\n" return [gdb_expect_list $test_name "$gdb_prompt $" $expected_output_list] } "starti" is a no-repeat command, so pressing <ret> just makes another prompt appear, confusing the following gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc. Even with that fixed, the testcase is still racy though. The second problem is that sometimes the "continue" test times out here: ~~~ continue Continuing. $2 = 1 gdb_expect_list pattern: /.*Breakpoint .*main \(\) at .*starti.c.*/ Breakpoint 1, main () at /home/pedro/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/starti.c:29 29 return 0; (gdb) gdb_expect_list pattern: // * hung here * ~~~ The problem is that the too-greedy ".*" trailing match in gdb_expect_list's pattern ends up consuming GDB's prompt too soon. Fix that by removing the unnecessary trailing ".*". While at it, remove all ".*"s to be stricter. Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-11-16 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/starti.exp ("continue" test): Remove ".*"s from pattern. * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_sequence): Don't send empty command to GDB.
2017-09-19Add a 'starti' command.John Baldwin1-0/+51
This works like 'start' but it stops at the first instruction rather than the first line in main(). This is useful if one wants to single step through runtime linker startup. While here, introduce a RUN_ARGS_HELP macro for shared help text between run, start, and starti. This includes expanding the help for start and starti to include details from run's help text. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.0): Add starti. * infcmd.c (enum run_break): New. (run_command_1): Queue pending event for RUN_STOP_AT_FIRST_INSN case. (run_command): Use enum run_how. (start_command): Likewise. (starti_command): New function. (RUN_ARGS_HELP): New macro. (_initialize_infcmd): Use RUN_ARGS_HELP for run and start commands. Add starti command. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Starting your Program): Add description of starti command. Mention starti command as an alternative for debugging the elaboration phase. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/starti.c: New file. * gdb.base/starti.exp: New file. * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_starti_cmd): New procedure.
