Currently, with an ambiguous "list first,last", we get:
(gdb) list bar,main
Specified first line 'bar' is ambiguous:
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98
This commit makes gdb's output above a bit clearer by printing the
symbol name as well:
(gdb) list bar,main
Specified first line 'bar' is ambiguous:
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97, symbol: "bar(A)"
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98, symbol: "bar(B)"
And while at it, makes gdb print the symbol name when actually listing
multiple locations too. I.e., before (with "set listsize 2"):
(gdb) list bar
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97
96
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
98 int bar (B) { return 22; }
After:
(gdb) list bar
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 97, symbol: "bar(A)"
96
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
file: "src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/overload.cc", line number: 98, symbol: "bar(B)"
97 int bar (A) { return 11; }
98 int bar (B) { return 22; }
Currently, the result of decoding a linespec loses information about
the original symbol that was found. All we end up with is an address.
This makes it difficult to find the original symbol again to get at
its print name. Fix that by storing a pointer to the symbol in the
sal. We already store the symtab and obj_section, so it feels like a
natural progression to me. This avoids having to do any extra symbol
lookup too.

The "list" command allows specifying the name of variables as
argument, not just functions, so that users can type "list
a_global_variable".
That support is a broken when it comes to ambiguous locations though.
If there's more than one such global variable in the program, e.g.,
static globals in different compilation units, GDB ends up listing the
source of the first variable it finds, only.
linespec.c does find both symbol and minsym locations for all the
globals. The problem is that it ends up merging all the resulting
sals into one, because they all have address, zero. I.e., all sals
end up with sal.pc == 0, so maybe_add_address returns false for all
but the first.
The zero addresses appear because:
- in the minsyms case, linespec.c:minsym_found incorrectly treats all
minsyms as if they were function/text symbols. In list mode we can
end up with data symbols there, and we shouldn't be using
find_pc_sect_line on data symbols.
- in the debug symbols case, symbol_to_sal misses recording an address
(sal.pc) for non-block, non-label symbols.

than the first line in main(). This is useful if one wants to single

I'm seeing these failures on my system:
FAIL: gdb.base/nodebug.exp: p (double) mult (2.0, 3.0)
FAIL: gdb.base/nodebug.exp: p ((double (*) (double, double)) mult)(2.0f, 3.0f)
FAIL: gdb.base/nodebug.exp: p ((double (*) (double, double)) mult)(2, 3)
The problem is simply that GDB is finding a symbol named "mult" from
glibc's debug info:
(gdb) ptype mult
type = enum expression_operator {var, num, lnot, mult, divide, module, plus, minus, less_than, greater_than, less_or_equal, greater_or_equal, equal, not_equal, land, lor, qmop}
(gdb) info types expression_operator
All types matching regular expression "expression_operator":
File plural-exp.h:

Change extract_arg to return a std::string and fix up all the users.
I think string is mildly better than unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>, when
possible, because it provides a more robust API.
I changed the error messages emitted from find_location_by_number to
avoid either writing to a string or an extra allocation; this can be
changed but I thought that the new message was not any less clear.
You can see an example in the testsuite patch.

PR gdb/22010 concerns a regression I introduced with the scalar
printing changes. The bug is that this code in sizeof.exp:
set signof_byte [get_integer_valueof "'\\377'" -1]
can incorrectly compute sizeof_byte. One underlying problem here is
that gdb's C parser doesn't treat a char constant as an int (this is
PR 19973).
However, it seems good to have an immediate fix for the regression.
The simplest is to cast to an int here.

An earlier commit made GDB no longer assume no-debug-info functions
return int. This commit gives the same treatment to variables.
Currently, you can end misled by GDB over output like this:
(gdb) p var
$1 = -1
(gdb) p /x var
$2 = 0xffffffff
until you realize that GDB is assuming that the variable is an "int",
because:
(gdb) ptype var
type = <data variable, no debug info>
You may try to fix it by casting, but that doesn't really help:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
^^
That's incorrect output, because the variable was defined like this:
uint64_t var = 0x7fffffffffffffff;
^^
What happened is that with the cast, GDB did an int -> 'unsigned long
long' conversion instead of reinterpreting the variable as the cast-to
type. To get at the variable properly you have to reinterpret the
variable's address manually instead, with either:
(gdb) p /x *(unsigned long long *) &var
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
(gdb) p /x {unsigned long long} &var
$5 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
After this commit GDB does it for you. This is what you'll get
instead:
(gdb) p var
'var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) var
$1 = 0x7fffffffffffffff
As in the functions patch, the "compile" machinery doesn't currently
have the cast-to type handy, so it continues assuming no-debug
variables have int type, though now at least it warns.
The change to gdb.cp/m-static.exp deserves an explanation:
- gdb_test "print 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
+ gdb_test "print (int) 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'" "\\$\[0-9\]+ = 4" \
That's printing the "sintvar" function local static of the
"gnu_obj_1::method()" method.
The problem with that test is that that "'S::method()::static_var'"
syntax doesn't really work in C++ as you'd expect. The way to make it
work correctly currently is to quote the method part, not the whole
expression, like:
(gdb) print 'gnu_obj_1::method()'::sintvar
If you wrap the whole expression in quotes, like in m-static.exp, what
really happens is that the parser considers the whole string as a
symbol name, but there's no debug symbol with that name. However,
local statics have linkage and are given a mangled name that demangles
to the same string as the full expression, so that's what GDB prints.
After this commit, and without the cast, the print in m-static.exp
would error out saying that the variable has unknown type:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::sintvar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
TBC, if currently (even before this series) you try to print any
function local static variable of type other than int, you'll get
bogus results. You can see that with m-static.cc as is, even.
Printing the "svar" local, which is a boolean (1 byte) still prints as
"int" (4 bytes):
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
$1 = 1
(gdb) ptype 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
type = <data variable, no debug info>
This probably prints some random bogus value on big endian machines.
If 'svar' was of some aggregate type (etc.) we'd still print it as
int, so the problem would have been more obvious... After this
commit, you'll get instead:
(gdb) p 'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar'
'gnu_obj_1::method()::svar' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
... so at least GDB is no longer misleading. Making GDB find the real
local static debug symbol is the subject of the following patches. In
the end, it'll all "Just Work".

The patch to make GDB stop assuming functions return int left GDB with
an inconsistency. While with normal expression evaluation the
"unknown return type" error shows the name of the function that misses
debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which is handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
This commit builds on the new OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE to fix it, by making
OP_FUNCALL extract the function name from the symbol stored in
OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE. We now get the same error in "print"
vs "ptype":
(gdb) ptype getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type

The fact that GDB defaults to assuming that functions return int, when
it has no debug info for the function has been a recurring source of
user confusion. Recently this came up on the errno pretty printer
discussions. Shortly after, it came up again on IRC, with someone
wondering why does getenv() in GDB return a negative int:
(gdb) p getenv("PATH")
$1 = -6185
This question (with s/getenv/random-other-C-runtime-function) is a FAQ
on IRC.
The reason for the above is:
(gdb) p getenv
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x7ffff7751d80 <getenv>
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = int ()
... which means that GDB truncated the 64-bit pointer that is actually
returned from getent to 32-bit, and then sign-extended it:
(gdb) p /x -6185
$6 = 0xffffe7d7
The workaround is to cast the function to the right type, like:
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH")
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
IMO, we should do better than this.
I see the "assume-int" issue the same way I see printing bogus values
for optimized-out variables instead of "<optimized out>" -- I'd much
rather that the debugger tells me "I don't know" and tells me how to
fix it than showing me bogus misleading results, making me go around
tilting at windmills.
If GDB prints a signed integer when you're expecting a pointer or
aggregate, you at least have some sense that something is off, but
consider the case of the function actually returning a 64-bit integer.
For example, compile this without debug info:
unsigned long long
function ()
{
return 0x7fffffffffffffff;
}
Currently, with pristine GDB, you get:
(gdb) p function ()
$1 = -1 # incorrect
(gdb) p /x function ()
$2 = 0xffffffff # incorrect
maybe after spending a few hours debugging you suspect something is
wrong with that -1, and do:
(gdb) ptype function
type = int ()
and maybe, just maybe, you realize that the function actually returns
unsigned long long. And you try to fix it with:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
... which still produces the wrong result, because GDB simply applied
int to unsigned long long conversion. Meaning, it sign-extended the
integer that it extracted from the return of the function, to 64-bits.
and then maybe, after asking around on IRC, you realize you have to
cast the function to a pointer of the right type, and call that. It
won't be easy, but after a few missteps, you'll get to it:
..... (gdb) p /x ((unsigned long long(*) ()) function) ()
$666 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # finally! :-)
So to improve on the user experience, this patch does the following
(interrelated) things:
- makes no-debug-info functions no longer default to "int" as return
type. Instead, they're left with NULL/"<unknown return type>"
return type.
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = <unknown return type> ()
- makes calling a function with unknown return type an error.
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
- and then to make it easier to call the function, makes it possible
to _only_ cast the return of the function to the right type,
instead of having to cast the function to a function pointer:
(gdb) p (char *) getenv ("PATH") # now Just Works
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH") # continues working
$4 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
I.e., it makes GDB default the function's return type to the type
of the cast, and the function's parameters to the type of the
arguments passed down.
After this patch, here's what you'll get for the "unsigned long long"
example above:
(gdb) p function ()
'function' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # correct!
Note that while with "print" GDB shows the name of the function that
has the problem:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This will be fixed in the next patch.

Calling a prototyped function via a function pointer with the right
prototype doesn't work correctly, if the called function requires
argument coercion... Like, e.g., with:
float mult (float f1, float f2) { return f1 * f2; }
(gdb) p mult (2, 3.5)
$1 = 7
(gdb) p ((float (*) (float, float)) mult) (2, 3.5)
$2 = 0
both calls should have returned the same, of course. The problem is
that GDB misses marking the type of the function pointer target as
prototyped...
Without the fix, the new test fails like this:
(gdb) p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)
$30 = 0
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/callfuncs.exp: p ((int (*) (float, float)) t_float_values2)(3.14159,float_val2)

When using "if" (or while) without args directly on gdb's command line,
you get this:
(gdb) if
if/while commands require arguments
When doing the same when entering a command list, you only get an error
when the command is executed, when parse_exp_in_context_1 fails to
evaluate the expression.
(gdb) define foo
Type commands for definition of "foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>if
>end
>end
(gdb) foo
Argument required (expression to compute).
I think it would make more sense to error out when inputting the command
list directly:
(gdb) define foo
Type commands for definition of "foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>if
if/while commands require arguments.
The only required change is to check whether args is an empty string in
build_command_line.

* cli/cli-script.c (build_command_line): For if/while commands,
check whether args is empty.

Currently, with "list LINESPEC1,LINESPEC2", if one of the linespecs is
ambiguous, i.e., if it expands to multiple locations, you get this
seemingly odd output:
(gdb) list foo,bar
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
Since "foo" above expands to multiple locations, the specified range
is indeterminate, and GDB is trying to be helpful by showing you what
was ambiguous. It looks confusing to me, though. I think it'd be
much more user friendly if GDB actually told you that, like this:
(gdb) list foo,bar
Specified first line 'foo' is ambiguous:
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
(gdb) list bar,foo
Specified last line 'foo' is ambiguous:
file: "file0.c", line number: 26
file: "file1.c", line number: 29
Note, I'm using "first" and "last" in the output because that's what
the manual uses:
~~~
list first,last
Print lines from first to last. [...]

starting the inferior
This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

Commit
Command names: make them case sensitive
3d7b173c29900879c9a5958dd6029fd36666e57c
made command name lookup case sensitive. However, define_command, used
when creating a user-defined command, converts the command name to
lowercase, assuming that the command name lookup works in a case
insensitive way. This causes user-defined commands with capital letters
in their name to only be callable with a lowercase version:
(gdb) define Foo
Type commands for definition of "Foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>print 1
>end
(gdb) Foo
Undefined command: "Foo". Try "help".
(gdb) foo
$1 = 1
This patch removes that conversion to lowercase, so that the user can
call the command with the same name they provided.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-script.c (define_command): Don't convert command name
to lower case.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/commands.exp (user_defined_command_case_sensitivity):
New proc, call it from toplevel.

(Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2017-06/msg00048.html)
This patch improves GDB support for function aliases defined with
__attribute__ alias. For example, in the test added by this commit,
there is no reference to "func_alias" in the debug info at all, only
to "func"'s definition:
$ nm ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep " func"
00000000004005ae t func
00000000004005ae T func_alias
$ readelf -w ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep func -B 1 -A 8
<1><db>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<dc> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x111): func
<e0> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<e1> DW_AT_decl_line : 27
<e2> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<e2> DW_AT_type : <0xf8>
<e6> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4005ae
<ee> DW_AT_high_pc : 0xb
<f6> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<f8> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
So all GDB knows about "func_alias" is from the minsym (elf symbol):
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func_alias
type = int ()
(gdb) p func
$2 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func
type = struct S {
int field1;
int field2;
} *(void)
The result is that calling func_alias from the command line produces
incorrect results.
This is similar (though not exactly the same) to the glibc
errno/__errno_location/__GI___errno_location situation. On glibc,
errno is defined like this:
extern int *__errno_location (void);
#define errno (*__errno_location ())
with __GI___errno_location being an internal alias for
__errno_location. On my system's libc (F23), I do see debug info for
__errno_location, in the form of name vs linkage name:
<1><95a5>: Abbrev Number: 18 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<95a6> DW_AT_external : 1
<95a6> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2c26): __errno_location
<95aa> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<95ab> DW_AT_decl_line : 24
<95ac> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x2c21): __GI___errno_location
<95b0> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<95b0> DW_AT_type : <0x9206>
<95b4> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x20f40
<95bc> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x11
<95c4> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<95c6> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
however that doesn't matter in practice, because GDB doesn't record
demangled names anyway, and so we end up with the exact same situation
covered by the testcase.
So the fix is to make the expression parser find a debug symbol for
the same address as the just-found minsym, when a lookup by name
didn't find a debug symbol by name. We now get:
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) p __errno_location
$2 = {int *(void)} 0x7ffff6e92830 <__errno_location>
I've made the test exercise variable aliases too, for completeness.
Those already work correctly, because unlike for function aliases, GCC
emits debug information for variable aliases.
Tested on GNU/Linux.

(Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2017-06/msg00020.html)
Assuming int_t is a typedef to int:
typedef int int_t;
gdb currently loses this expression's typedef:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
$1 = 0
(gdb) whatis $1
type = int
or:
(gdb) whatis (int_t) 0
type = int
or, to get "whatis" out of the way:
(gdb) maint print type (int_t) 0
...
name 'int'
code 0x8 (TYPE_CODE_INT)
...
This prevents a type printer for "int_t" kicking in, with e.g.:
(gdb) p (int_t) 0
From the manual, we can see that that "whatis (int_t) 0" command
invocation should have printed "type = int_t":
If @var{arg} is a variable or an expression, @code{whatis} prints its
literal type as it is used in the source code. If the type was
defined using a @code{typedef}, @code{whatis} will @emph{not} print
the data type underlying the @code{typedef}.
(...)
If @var{arg} is a type name that was defined using @code{typedef},
@code{whatis} @dfn{unrolls} only one level of that @code{typedef}.
That one-level stripping is currently done here, in
gdb/eval.c:evaluate_subexp_standard, handling OP_TYPE:
...
else if (noside == EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS)
{
struct type *type = exp->elts[pc + 1].type;
/* If this is a typedef, then find its immediate target. We
use check_typedef to resolve stubs, but we ignore its
result because we do not want to dig past all
typedefs. */
check_typedef (type);
if (TYPE_CODE (type) == TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF)
type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
return allocate_value (type);
}
However, this stripping is reachable in both:
#1 - (gdb) whatis (int_t)0 # ARG is an expression with a cast to
# typedef type.
#2 - (gdb) whatis int_t # ARG is a type name.
while only case #2 should strip the typedef. Removing that code from
evaluate_subexp_standard is part of the fix. Instead, we make the
"whatis" command implementation itself strip one level of typedefs
when the command argument is a type name.
We then run into another problem, also fixed by this commit:
value_cast always drops any typedefs of the destination type.
With all that fixed, "whatis (int_t) 0" now works as expected:
(gdb) whatis int_t
type = int
(gdb) whatis (int_t)0
type = int_t
value_cast has many different exit/convertion paths, for handling many
different kinds of casts/conversions, and most of them had to be
tweaked to construct the value of the right "to" type. The new tests
try to exercise most of it, by trying castin of many different
combinations of types. With:
$ make check TESTS="*/whatis-ptype*.exp */gnu_vector.exp */dfp-test.exp"
... due to combinatorial explosion, the testsuite results for the
tests above alone grow like:
- # of expected passes 246
+ # of expected passes 3811
You'll note that the tests exposed one GCC buglet, filed here:

When I made commit 9a6c7d9c021cfeb290d76584db7a01e57e7c3d4e, which
C++-fied gdb/common/environ.[ch], I mistakenly altered the behaviour
of the 'unset environment' command. This command, which should delete
all environment variables, is now resetting the list of variables to
the state they were when GDB was started.
This commit fixes this regression, and also adds a test on
gdb.base/environ.exp which really checks if 'unset environment'
worked.

PR gdb/21675 points out a few regressions in scalar printing.
One type of regression is due to not carrying over the old handling of
floating point printing -- where a format like "/d" causes a floating
point number to first be cast to a signed integer. This patch restores
this behavior.
The other regression is a longstanding bug in print_octal_chars: one of
the constants was wrong. This patch fixes the constant and adds static
asserts to help catch this sort of error.

This problem can be fixed by
- either each prologue analyzer doesn't throw exception,
- or catch the exception thrown from gdbarch_skip_prologue,
I choose the latter because the former needs to fix *every* prologue
analyzer to not throw exception.
This error can be reproduced by changing reread.exp. The test reread.exp
has already test that breakpoint can be reset correctly after the
executable is re-read. This patch extends this test by compiling test c
file with and without -fPIE.

Profiling GDB with the rest of series applied, I saw calls to
language_def showing up high in some runs. The problem is that
language_def is O(N) currently, since walk the languages vector each
time to find the matching language_defn.
IMO, the add_language mechanism is pointless, because "enum language"
implies the core of GDB needs to know about all languages anyway. So
simply make the languages vector array be an array where each
element's index is the corresponding enum language enumerator. Note
that "local_language_defn" is gone along the way. It's just a copy of
"auto", so the new code simply maps one to the other. One fewer place
to update when we need to change the language vector...
Also, a while ago the output of "set language" was made out of order
as side effect of some other change. While I was at it, I made them
sorted again.

This test is using "set language ada" expecting that to cause GDB to
do Ada symbol name matching. That won't work when GDB uses the
symbol's language to decide which symbol matching algorithm to use,
because the test's symbols are C symbols.
So generalize the test a bit to not rely on Ada name matching rules.
Confirmed that by undoing the original fix the test was written for,
the test still fails.

Continuing the theme of the explicit locations patch, this patch gets
rid of the need for quoting function names in linespec TAB completion.
To recap, when you have overloads in your program, and you want to set
a breakpoint in one of them:
void function(int); // set breakpoint here.
void function(long);
(gdb) b function(i[TAB]
<all the symbols in the program that start with "i" are uselessly shown...>
This patch gets rid of the need for quoting by switching the linespec
completer to use the custom completion word point mechanism added in
the previous explicit location patch (extending it as needed), to
correctly determine the right completion word point. In the case
above, we want the completer to figure out that it's completing a
function name that starts with "function(i", and it now does.
We also want the completer to know when it's potentially completing a
source file name, for:
(gdb) break source.[TAB] -> source.c:
(gdb) break source.c: # Type line number or function name now
And we want it to know to complete label names, which it doesn't today:
(gdb) break function:lab[TAB]
etc., etc.
So what we want is for completion to grok the input string as closely
to how the linespec parser groks it.
With that in mind, the solution suggests itself - make the linespec
completer use the same parsing code as normal linespec parsing.
That's what the patch does. The old completer is replaced by one that
reuses the actual linespec parser as much as possible. This (ideally)
eliminate differences between what completion understands and actually
setting breakpoints understands by design.
The completer now offers sensible completion candidates depending on
which component of the linespec is being completed, source filename,
function, line number, expression, and (a new addition), labels. For
example, when completing the function part, we now show the full name
of the method as completion candidates, instead of showing whatever
comes after what readline considered the word break character:
(gdb) break klass::method[TAB]
klass:method1(int)
klass:method2()
If input is past the function, then we now offer keyword condidates:
(gdb) b function(int) [TAB]
if task thread
If input is past a keyword, we offer expression completion, which is
different from linespec completion:
(gdb) b main if 1 + glo[TAB]
global
(e.g., completes on types, struct data fields, etc.)
As mentioned, this teaches the linespec completer about completing
label symbols too:
(gdb) b source.c:function:lab[TAB]
A nice convenience is that when completion uniquely matches a source
name, gdb adds the ":" automatically for you:
(gdb) b filenam[TAB]
(gdb) b filename.c: # ':' auto-added, cursor right after it.
It's the little details. :-)
I worked on this patch in parallel with writing the (big) testcase
added closer to the end of the series, which exercises many many
tricky cases around quoting and whitespace insertion placement. In
general, I think it now all Just Works.

This commit fixes a mismatch between what "print" command completer
thinks the command understands, and what the command actually
understands.
The explicit location options are understood by commands that take
(linespecs and) explicit locations as argument. I.e, breakpoint
commands, and "list". For example:
(gdb) b -source file.c -function my_func
So for those commands, it makes sense that the completer
completes:
"b -sour[TAB]" -> "b -source "
"b -functi[TAB]" -> "b -function "
etc.
However, completion for commands that take expressions (not
linespecs/locations) as arguments, such as the "print" command, also
completes the explicit location options, even though those switches
aren't really understood by these commands. Instead, "-foo" is
understood as an expression applying unary minus on a symbol named
"foo" (think "print -1"):
(gdb) p -func[TAB]
(gdb) p -function [RET]
No symbol "function" in current context.
The patch fixes this by having the expression_completer function
bypass the function that completes explicit locations.
New regression tests included.

Fix issue exposed by commit 3e29f34.
The basic issue is that section data referenced through an objfile
pointer can also be referenced via the program-space data pointer,
although via a separate mapping mechanism, which is set up by
update_section_map. Thus once section data attached to an objfile
pointer is released, the section map associated with the program-space
data pointer must be marked dirty to ensure that update_section_map is
called to prevent stale data being referenced. For the matter at hand
this marking is being done via a call to objfiles_changed.
Before commit 3e29f34 objfiles_changed could be called after all of
the objfile pointers were processed in reread_symbols since section
data references via the program-space data pointer would not occur in
the calls of read_symbols performed by reread_symbols.
With commit 3e29f34 MIPS target specific calls to find_pc_section were
added to the code for DWARF information processing, which is called
via read_symbols. Thus in reread_symbols the call to objfiles_changed
needs to be called before calling read_symbols, otherwise stale
section data can be referenced.
Thanks to Luis Machado for providing text for the main comment
associated with the change.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

When we add alias command, we call add_alias_cmd and pass the alias name
and command name. This implicitly requires the command and its prefix
commands are already added to cmdlist. This may not be true, for example,
add_com_alias ("tty", "set inferior-tty", class_alias, 0);
"inferior-tty" command is added to setlist, but setlist may not be added
to cmdlist (It depends on the order of related _initialize_XXX functions
called) so that we can't find "set inferior-tty" from cmdlist.
This patch fixes this problem by passing cmd_list_element of "inferior-tty"
to add_alias_cmd, so that cmd_list_element of "inferior-tty" doesn't have
to be reachable from cmdlist at that moment.

This has been on my TODO list for a while. There's a really old bug
about this (PR testsuite/8595), and there was no reason for
environ.exp to be specific for hppa* targets. So this patch removes
this constraint, modernizes the testcase, and cleans up some things.
Most of the tests remained, and some were rewritten (especially the
one that checks if "show environment" works, which is something kind
of hard to do).
As a bonus, I'm adding a separated info-program.exp file containing
all the tests related to "info program" that were present on
environ.exp.

I noticed that backslash_in_multi_line_command_test in
gdb.base/commands.exp failed on our RHEL6 servers. I traced it to the
old version of DejaGnu (1.4.4). I have found that instead of receiving
the expected:
"print \\\nargc\n"
gdb received:
"print argc\n"
thus breaking the test and its purpose. Versionof DejaGnu < 1.5 mess
up sending "\\\n", it somehow gets replaced with a space. I found that
the following commit in DejaGnu fixed the issue:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dejagnu.git/commit/lib/remote.exp?id=3f39294f5cd6802858838d3bcc0ccce847ae17f2
Even though the commit is almost 10 years old, the following release of
DejaGnu was only in 2013, which is why we still have systems with the
old code.
If the DejaGnu version is < 1.5, we just skip the test.

With commit 3b12939dfc2399 ("Replace the sync_execution global with a
new enum prompt_state tristate"), GDB started aborting if you try
splitting an input line with a continuation char (backslash) while in
a multi-line command:
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
>print \
(gdb) 1 # note "(gdb)" incorrectly printed here.
>end
readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
$
That abort is actually a symptom of an old problem introduced when
gdb_readline_wrapper was rewritten to use asynchronous readline, back
in 2007. Note how the "(gdb)" prompt is printed above in the "(gdb)
1" line. Clearly it shouldn't be there, but it already was before the
commit mentioned above. Fixing that also fixes the readline abort
shown above.
The problem starts when command_line_input passes a NULL prompt to
gdb_readline_wrapper when it finds previous incomplete input due to a
backslash, trying to fetch more input without printing another ">"
secondary prompt. That itself should not be a problem, because
passing NULL to gdb_readline_wrapper has the same meaning as passing a
pointer to empty string, since gdb_readline_wrapper exposes the same
interface as 'readline(char *)'. However, gdb_readline_wrapper passes
the prompt argument directly to display_gdb_prompt, and for the
latter, a NULL prompt argument has a different meaning - it requests
printing the primary prompt.
Before commit 782a7b8ef9c096 (which rewrote gdb_readline_wrapper to
use asynchronous readline), GDB behaved like this:
(gdb) commands
[....]
>print \
1
>end
(gdb)
The above is what this commit restores GDB back to.
New test included.

Commit d7e747318f4d04 ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make
ui_file a class hierarchy") introduced a problem when using "layout
regs", that leads gdb to crash when issuing:
./gdb ./a.out -ex 'layout regs' -ex start
From the backtrace, it's caused by this 'delete' on tui_restore_gdbout():

714 delete gdb_stdout;
The problem is simply that the commit mentioned above made the ui_file
that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated
string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file. The
fix is simply to remove the now-incorrect delete.
New test included, which exercises enabling all TUI layouts, with and
without execution. (This particular crash only triggers with
execution.)

This is a fix for PR gdb/21164. The problem started to happen after:
commit 34c41c681f4a0a0dfe0405c7d2aecf458520557a
Author: Doug Evans <xdje42@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Mon Dec 19 08:33:46 2016 -0800
New syntax for mt print symbols,msymbols,psymbols.
This change introduced new syntax for the mentioned commands, and
improved the parsing of arguments by using 'gdb_buildargv'. However,
it is necessary to check if the argv being built is not NULL, which
can happen if the user doesn't provide any arguments to these
commands.

This is a follow-up to
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00261.html
This patch restricts queries to the main UI, which allows to avoid two
different problems.
The first one is that GDB is issuing queries on secondary MI channels
for which a TTY is allocated. The second one is that GDB is not able to
handle queries on two (CLI) UIs simultaneously. Restricting queries to
the main UI allows to bypass these two problems.
More details on how/why these two problems happen:
1. Queries on secondary MI UI
The current criterion to decide if we should query the user is whether
the input stream is a TTY. The original way to start GDB in MI mode
from a front-end was to create a subprocess with pipes to its
stdin/stdout. In this case, the input was considered non-interactive
and queries were auto-answered. Now that front-ends can create the MI
channel as a separate UI connected to a dedicated TTY, GDB now
considers this input stream as interactive and sends queries to it.
By restricting queries to the main UI, we make sure we never query on
the secondary MI UI.
2. Simultaneous queries
As Pedro stated it, when you have two queries on two different CLI UIs
at the same time, you end up with the following pseudo stack:
#0 gdb_readline_wrapper
#1 defaulted_query // for UI #2
#2 handle_command
#3 execute_command ("handle SIGTRAP" ....
#4 stdin_event_handler // input on UI #2
#5 gdb_do_one_event
#7 gdb_readline_wrapper
#8 defaulted_query // for UI #1
#9 handle_command
#10 execute_command ("handle SIGINT" ....
#11 stdin_event_handler // input on UI #1
#12 gdb_do_one_event
#13 gdb_readline_wrapper
trying to answer the query on UI #1 will therefore answer for UI #2.
By restricting the queries to the main UI, we ensure that there will
never be more than one pending query, since you can't have two queries
on a UI at the same time.
I added a snippet to gdb.base/new-ui.exp to verify that we get a query
on the main UI, but that we don't on the secondary one (or, more
precisely, that it gets auto-answered).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (defaulted_query): Don't query on secondary UIs.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/new-ui.exp (do_test): Test queries behavior on main
and extra UIs.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/new-ui.exp (do_test, do_test_invalid_args): Use
proc_with_prefix.
