This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.

Use "set always-read-ctf on" instead of --strip-debug in the ctf test-cases.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

[ This is a simplified rewrite of an earlier submission "[RFC][gdb/symtab] Add
maint set symbol-read-order", submitted here (
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-September/192044.html
). ]
With the test-case included in this patch, we run into:
...
(gdb) file dwarf2-and-ctf
(gdb) print var_ctf^M
'var_ctf' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type^M
...
The problem is that the executable contains both ctf and dwarf2, so the ctf
info (which contains the type information about var_ctf) is ignored.
GDB has support for handling multiple debug formats, but the common use case
for ctf is to be used when dwarf2 is not present, and gdb reflects that,
assuming that by reading ctf in addition there won't be any extra information,
so it's not worth the additional cycles and memory.
Add a new command "set/show always-read-ctf on/off", that when on forces
unconditional reading of ctf, allowing us to do:
...
(gdb) set always-read-ctf on
(gdb) file dwarf2-and-ctf
(gdb) print var_ctf^M
$2 = 2^M
...
The setting is off by default, preserving current behaviour.
A bit of background on the relevance of reading order: the formats have a
priority relationship between them, where reading earlier means lower
priority. By reading the format with the most detail last, we ensure it has
the highest priority, which makes sure that in case there is overlapping info,
the most detailed info is found. This explains the current reading order of
mdebug, stabs and dwarf2.
Add the unconditional reading of ctf before dwarf2, because it's less detailed
than dwarf2. The conditional reading of ctf is still done after the attempt to
read dwarf2, necessarily so because we only know whether there's dwarf2 after
we've tried to read it.
The new command allow us to replace uses of -Wl,--strip-debug added in commit
908a926ec4e ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix ctf test-cases on openSUSE Tumbleweed") by
uses of "set always-read-ctf on", but I've left that for another commit.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

This changes skip_ctf_tests to invert the sense, and renames it to
allow_ctf_tests.

This changes some tests to use "require !skip_ctf_tests".

This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.

The canonical form of 'if' in modern TCL is 'if {} {}'. But there's
still a bunch of places in the testsuite where we make use of the
'then' keyword, and sometimes these get copies into new tests, which
just spreads poor practice.
This commit removes all use of the 'then' keyword from the remaining
gdb.*/*.exp scripts. Previous commits have done the bulk of this
removal, this commit just handles the remaining directories that each
contain a low number of instances.
There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.

When running test-case gdb.base/ctf-constvars.exp on openSUSE Tumbleweed (with
system gcc version 12, providing gcc -gctf support, enabling the ctf test-cases
in the gdb testsuite), I run into:
...
(gdb) print vox^M
'vox' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/ctf-constvars.exp: print vox
...
There are two causes for this:
- the linker flags are missing --ctf-variables, so the information for variable
vox is missing (reported in PR29468), and
- the executable contains some dwarf2 due to some linked-in glibc objects,
so the ctf info is ignored (reported in PR29160).
By using:
- -Wl,--ctf-variable,
- -Wl,--strip-debug, and
we can make the test-case and some similar test-cases pass.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

It is not necessary to call get_compiler_info before calling
test_compiler_info, and, after recent commits that removed setting up
the gcc_compiled, true, and false globals from get_compiler_info,
there is now no longer any need for any test script to call
get_compiler_info directly.
As a result every call to get_compiler_info outside of lib/gdb.exp is
redundant, and this commit removes them all.
There should be no change in what is tested after this commit.

After this commit the gcc_compiled global is no longer exported from
lib/gdb.exp. In theory we could switch over all uses of gcc_compiled
to instead call test_compiler_info directly, however, I have instead
added a new proc to gdb.exp: 'is_c_compiler_gcc'. I've then updated
the testsuite to call this proc instead of using the global.
Having a new proc specifically for this task means that we have a
single consistent pattern for detecting gcc. By wrapping this logic
within a proc that calls test_compiler_info, rather than using the
global, means that test scripts don't need to call get_compiler_info
before they read the global, simply calling the new proc does
everything in one go.
As a result I've been able to remove the get_compiler_info calls from
all the test scripts that I've touched in this commit.
In some of the tests e.g. gdb.dwarf2/*.exp, the $gcc_compiled flag was
being checked at the top of the script to decide if the whole script
should be skipped or not. In these cases I've called the new proc
directly and removed all uses of gcc_compiled.
In other cases, e.g. most of the gdb.base scripts, there were many
uses of gcc_compiled. In these cases I set a new global gcc_compiled
near the top of the script, and leave the rest of the script
unchanged.
There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.

On openSUSE Tumbleweed (with gcc-12, enabling ctf tests) I run into:
...
ERROR: tcl error sourcing src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ctf/funcreturn.exp.
ERROR: tcl error code NONE
ERROR: Unexpected arguments: \
{print v_double_func} \
{[0-9]+ = {double \(\)} 0x[0-9a-z]+.*} \
{print double function} \
}
...
The problem is a curly brace as fourth argument to gdb_test, which errors out
due to recently introduced more strict argument checking in gdb_test.
Fix the error by removing the brace.
Though this fixes the error for me, due to PR29160 I get only FAILs, so I can't
claim proper testing on x86_64-linux.

This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were

Now gdb is capable of debugging executable, which consists of multiple
compilation units (CUs) with the CTF debug info. An executable could
potentially have one or more archives, which, in CTF context, contain
conflicting types.
all changes were made in ctfread.c in which elfctf_build_psymtabs was
modified to handle archives, via the ctf archive iterator and its callback
build_ctf_archive_member and scan_partial_symbols was modified to scan
archives, which are treated as subfiles, to build the psymtabs.
Also changes were made to handle CTF's data object section and function
info section which now share the same format of their contents - an array
of type IDs. New functions ctf_psymtab_add_stt_entries, which is called by
ctf_psymtab_add_stt_obj and ctf_psymtab_add_stt_func, and add_stt_entries,
which is called by add_stt_obj and add_stt_func when setting up psymtabs
and full symtab, respectively.

The problems can be illustrated, with any program, below:
(gdb) print main
$1 = {main} 0x0
The return type was incorrectly set in read_func_kind_type, with
the name of the function, which leads c_type_print_base_1 to print
it. In addition, the address of a new function needs to be set with
that info in its minimal symtab entry, when the new function is added.
After the fix:
(gdb) print main
$1 = {int ()} 0x4004b7 <main>
A new test, gdb.ctf/funcreturn.exp, is added to the testsuite.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ctfread.c (new_symbol): Set function address.
(read_func_kind_type): Remove incorrect type name setting.
Don't copy name returned from ctf_type_ame_raw throughout file.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ctf/funcreturn.exp: New file.
* gdb.ctf/whatis.c: Copy from gdb.base.
