This replaces the global input_interactive_p function with a new
method ui::input_interactive_p.
|
|
This patch removes ui_register_input_event_handler and
ui_unregister_input_event_handler, replacing them with methods on
'ui'. It also changes gdb to use these methods everywhere, rather
than sometimes reaching in to the ui to manage the file descriptor
directly.

The throw_perror_with_name function is not used outside of utils.c
right now. And as perror_with_name is just a wrapper around
throw_perror_with_name, then any future calls would be to
perror_with_name.
Lets make throw_perror_with_name static.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

I don't think it's very useful to return the character from gdb_putc,
so this patch changes it to return void.

PR cli/17151 points out that "set height 1" has pathological behavior
in gdb. What I see is that gdb will endlessly print the pagination
prompt. This patch takes a simple and expedient approach to a fix:
pretend that the height is really 2.

PR cli/20741 points out that when pagination is disabled, this also
disabled word wrapping. However, the manual documents that these
settings are separate -- if you intend to disable the wrapping, you
must use "set width unlimited".
This patch fixes the bug by letting the pagination-disabled case fall
through to the code that also handles word-wrapping.

While working on a different patch, I triggered an assertion from the
initialize_current_architecture code, specifically from one of
the *_gdbarch_init functions in a *-tdep.c file. This exposes a
couple of issues with GDB.
This is easy enough to reproduce by adding 'gdb_assert (false)' into a
suitable function. For example, I added a line into i386_gdbarch_init
and can see the following issue.
I start GDB and immediately hit the assert, the output is as you'd
expect, except for the very last line:
$ ./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory/
../../src.dev-1/gdb/i386-tdep.c:8455: internal-error: i386_gdbarch_init: Assertion `false' failed.

(More stack frames follow...)
It turns out that the problem is that the async event handler
mechanism has been invoked, but this has not yet been initialized.
If we look at gdb_init (in gdb/top.c) we can indeed see the call to
gdb_init_signals is after the call to initialize_current_architecture.
If I reorder the calls, moving gdb_init_signals earlier, then the
initial error is resolved, however, things are still broken. I now
see the same "Quit this debugging session? (y or n)" prompt, but when
I provide an answer and press return GDB immediately crashes.
So what's going on now? The next problem is that the call_readline
field within the current_ui structure is not initialized, and this
callback is invoked to process the reply I entered.
The problem is that call_readline is setup as a result of calling
set_top_level_interpreter, which is called from captured_main_1.
Unfortunately, set_top_level_interpreter is called after gdb_init is
called.
I wondered how to solve this problem for a while, however, I don't
know if there's an easy "just reorder some lines" solution here.
Looking through captured_main_1 there seems to be a bunch of
dependencies between printing various things, parsing config files,
and setting up the interpreter. I'm sure there is a solution hiding
in there somewhere.... I'm just not sure I want to spend any longer
looking for it.
So.
I propose a simpler solution, more of a hack/work-around. In utils.c
we already have a function filtered_printing_initialized, this is
checked in a few places within internal_vproblem. In some of these
cases the call gates whether or not GDB will query the user.
My proposal is to add a new readline_initialized function, which
checks if the current_ui has had readline initialized yet. If this is
not the case then we should not attempt to query the user.
After this change GDB prints the error message, the backtrace, and
then aborts (including dumping core). This actually seems pretty sane
as, if GDB has not yet made it through the initialization then it
doesn't make much sense to allow the user to say "no, I don't want to
quit the debug session" (I think).

I noticed that GDB will display URLs in a few spots. This changes
them to be styled. Originally I thought I'd introduce a new "url"
style, but there aren't many places to use this, so I just reused
filename styling instead. This patch also changes the debuginfod URL
list to be printed one URL per line. I think this is probably a bit
easier to read.

Pedro pointed out that gdb worker threads should not react to quits.
While I don't think that the new DWARF reader can call QUIT from a
worker thread (and I don't think the existing minsym threading code
can either), it seems safest to address this before checking in the
new code. This patch arranges for the QUIT macro to only work on the
main thread.
|
|
Various spots in gdb currently know about the wrap buffer, and so are
careful to call wrap_here to be certain that all output has been
flushed.
Now that the pager is just an ordinary stream, this isn't needed, and
a simple call to gdb_flush is enough.
Similarly, there are places where gdb prints to gdb_stderr, but first
flushes gdb_stdout. stderr_file already flushes gdb_stdout, so these
aren't needed.
|
|
Nothing calls vfprintf_styled any more, so remove it.
|
|
fprintf_symbol_filtered is misnamed, because whether filtering happens
is now up to the stream. This renames it to fprintf_symbol, which
isn't a great name (the first "f" doesn't mean much and the second one
is truly meaningless here), but "print_symbol" was already taken.
|
|
puts_filtered_tabular is now misnamed, because whether filtering
happens is now up to the stream. So, rename it. (This function is
pretty weird, and should probably be rewritten to avoid using the
chars_printed global, and moved into objc-lang.c. However, I haven't
done so.)
|
|
print_spaces_filtered is now misnamed, because whether filtering
happens is up to the stream. So, rename it.
|
|
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.

Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the puts family of functions. This is done under the name

|
|
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the vprintf family of functions: vprintf_filtered,
vprintf_unfiltered, vfprintf_filtered and vfprintf_unfiltered. (For
the gdb_stdout variants, recall that only printf_unfiltered gets truly
unfiltered output at this point.) This removes one such function and
renames the remaining two to "gdb_vprintf". All callers are updated.
Much of this patch was written by script.
|
|
fputs_styled_unfiltered is only called from cli_ui_out, so remove it.
This area will be further simplified in future patches.

This rewrites the output pager as a ui_file implementation.
A new header is introduced to declare the pager class. The
implementation remains in utils.c for the time being, because there
are some static globals there that must be used by this code. (This
could be cleaned up at some future date.)
I went through all the text output in gdb to ensure that this change
should be ok. There are a few cases:
* Any existing call to printf_unfiltered is required to be avoid the
pager. This is ensured directly in the implementation.
* All remaining calls to the f*_unfiltered functions -- the ones that
take an explicit ui_file -- either send to an unfiltered stream
(e.g., gdb_stderr), which is obviously ok; or conditionally send to
gdb_stdout
I investigated all such calls by searching for:
grep -e '\bf[a-z0-9_]*_unfiltered' *.[chyl] */*.[ch] | grep -v gdb_stdlog | grep -v gdb_stderr
This yields a number of candidates to check.
* The breakpoint _print_recreate family, and
save_trace_state_variables. These are used for "save" commands
and so are fine.
* Things printing to a temporary stream. Obviously ok.
* Disassembly selftests.
* print_gdb_help - this is non-obvious, but ok because paging isn't
yet enabled at this point during startup.
* serial.c - doens't use gdb_stdout
* The code in compile/. This is all printing to a file.
* DWARF DIE dumping - doesn't reference gdb_stdout.
* Calls to the _filtered form -- these are all clearly ok, because if
they are using gdb_stdout, then filtering will still apply; and if
not, then filtering never applied and still will not.
Therefore, at this point, there is no longer any distinction between
all the other _filtered and _unfiltered calls, and they can be
unified.
In this patch, take special note of the vfprintf_maybe_filtered and
ui_file::vprintf change. This is one instance of the above idea,
erasing the distinction between filtered and unfiltered -- in this
part of the change, the "unfiltered_output" flag is never passe to
cli_ui_out. Subsequent patches will go much further in this
direction.
Also note the can_emit_style_escape changes in ui-file.c. Checking
against gdb_stdout or gdb_stderr was always a bit of a hack; and now
it is no longer needed, because this is decision can be more fully
delegated to the particular ui_file implementation.
ui_file::can_page is removed, because this patch removed the only call
to it.
I think this is the main part of fixing PR cli/7234.

This removes vfprintf_styled_no_gdbfmt, inlining it at the sole point
of call.
|
|
When the pager is rewritten as a ui_file, gdb will still need a way to
bypass the filtering. After examining a few approaches, I chose this
patch, which adds a puts_unfiltered method to ui_file. For most
implementations of ui_file, this will just delegate to puts. This
patch also switches printf_unfiltered to use the new method.
|
|
At the end of this series, the use of unfiltered output will be very
restricted -- only places that definitely need it will use it. To
this end, I thought it would be good to reduce the number of
_unfiltered APIs that are exposed. This patch changes gdb so that
only printf_unfiltered exists. (After this patch, the f* variants
still exist as well, but those will be removed later.)
|
|
Currently, timestamps for logging are done by looking for the use of
gdb_stdlog in vfprintf_unfiltered. This seems potentially buggy, in
that during logging or other redirects (like execute_fn_to_ui_file) we
might have gdb_stdout==gdb_stdlog and so, conceivably, wind up with
timestamps in a log when they were not desired.
It seems better, instead, for timestamps to be a property of the
ui_file itself.
This patch changes gdb to use the new timestamped_file for gdb_stdlog
where appropriate, and removes the special case from
vfprintf_unfiltered.
Note that this may somewhat change the output in some cases -- in
particular, when going through execute_fn_to_ui_file (or the _string
variant), timestamps won't be emitted. This could be fixed in those
functions, but it wasn't clear to me whether this is really desirable.
Note also that this changes the TUI to send gdb_stdlog to gdb_stderr.
I imagine that the previous use of gdb_stdout here was inadvertent.
(And in any case it probably doesn't matter.)
|
|
This adds a "timestamped_file" subclass of ui_file. This class adds a
timestamp to its output when appropriate. That is, it follows the
rule already used in vfprintf_unfiltered of adding a timestamp at most
once per write.
The new class is not yet used.
|
|
This patch adds support for wild template parameter list matches, similar
to how ABI tags or function overloads are now handled.
With this patch, users will be able to "gloss over" the details of matching
template parameter lists. This is accomplished by adding (yet more) logic
to strncmp_iw_with_mode to skip parameter lists if none is explicitly given
by the user.
Here's a simple example using gdb.linespec/cpls-ops.exp:
Before

(gdb) ptype test_op_call
type = struct test_op_call {
public:
void operator()(void);
void operator()(int);
void operator()(long);
void operator()<int>(int *);

at cpls-ops.cc:51
1.4 y 0x4008d0 in test_op_call::operator()<int>(int*)
at cpls-ops.cc:57
Similar to how scope lookups work, passing "-qualified" to the break command
will cause a literal lookup of the symbol. In the example immediately above,
this will cause GDB to only find the three non-template functions.

This patch attempts to make a start at adding unit tests for
strncmp_iw_with_mode. While there is quite a bit of testing
of this function in other tests, these are currently end-to-end
tests.
This patch attempts to cover the basics of string matching, white
space, C++ ABI tags, and several other topics. However, one area
that is ostensibly missing is testing the `match_for_lcd' feature.
This is otherwise tested as part of our end-to-end DejaGNU-based
testing.

A have had situation where a unfiltered output (done using
fputs_unfiltered) ended up triggering pagination. The backtrace for this was:
...
#24 0x000055839377ee4e in check_async_event_handlers () at ../../gdb/async-event.c:335
#25 0x0000558394b67b57 in gdb_do_one_event () at ../../gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:216

#28 0x00005583947088b3 in fputs_maybe_filtered (linebuffer=0x60c0000f4000 " [...quite big message...]", stream=0x60300028e9d0, filter=0) at ../../gdb/utils.c:1752
#29 0x0000558394708e57 in fputs_unfiltered (linebuffer=0x60c0000f4000 " [...quite big message...]", stream=0x60300028e9d0) at ../../gdb/utils.c:1811
...
This comes from what appears to be a oversight in fputs_maybe_filtered. This
function has a FILTER parameter which if true makes the function pause after
every screenful (i.e. triggers pagination).
The filter parameter is correctly used to guard the first place where
prompt_for_continue. There is a second place in the function which can call
prompt_for_continue, but is currently unguarded. I believe that this is an
oversight, this patch fixes that.

This removes the global wrap_here function, so that future calls
cannot be introduced. Instead, all callers must use the method on the
appropriate ui_file.
This temporarily moves the implementation of this method to utils.c.
This will change once the remaining patches to untangle the pager have
been written.
|
|
This changes all existing calls to wrap_here to call the method on the
appropriate ui_file instead. The choice of ui_file is determined by
context.
|
|
I think it only really makes sense to call wrap_here with an argument
consisting solely of spaces. Given this, it seemed better to me that
the argument be an int, rather than a string. This patch is the
result. Much of it was written by a script.
|
|
A common pattern for string_file is to want to move out the internal
string buffer, because it is the result of the computation that we want
to return. It is the reason why string_file::string returns a non-const
reference, as explained in the comment. I think it would make sense to
have a dedicated method for that instead and make string_file::string
return a const reference.
This allows removing the explicit std::move in the typical case. Note
that compile_program::compute was missing a move, meaning that the
resulting string was copied. With the new version, it's not possible to
forget to move.

In an earlier version of the pager rewrite series, it was important to
audit unfiltered output calls to see which were truly necessary.
This is no longer necessary, but it still seems like a decent cleanup
to change calls to avoid explicitly passing gdb_stdout. That is,
rather than using something like fprintf_unfiltered with gdb_stdout,
the code ought to use plain printf_unfiltered instead.
This patch makes this change. I went ahead and converted all the
_filtered calls I could find, as well, for the same clarity.
|
|
This moves the gdb_regex convenience class to gdbsupport.
|
|
gdb has some extensions and helpers for working with the libiberty
hash table. This patch consolidates these and moves them to
gdbsupport.
|
|
This moves the gdb-specific obstack code -- both extensions like
obconcat and obstack_strdup, and things like auto_obstack -- to
gdbsupport.
|
|
This moves the gdb_argv class to a new header in gdbsupport.
|
|
In my tour of the ui_file subsystem, I found that fputstr and fputstrn
can be simplified. The _filtered forms are never used (and IMO
unlikely to ever be used) and so can be removed. And, the interface
can be simplified by removing a callback function and moving the
implementation directly to ui_file.
A new self-test is included. Previously, I think nothing was testing
this code.

The patch to fix paging with redirection caused a regression in the
internal AdaCore test suite. The problem occurs when running an MI
command from the CLI using interpreter-exec, when paging is enabled.
This scenario isn't covered by the current test suite, so this patch
includes a new test.
The problem is that, in this situation, MI does:
fputs_unfiltered (strcmp (context->command, "target-select") == 0
? "^connected" : "^done", mi->raw_stdout);
Here raw_stdout is a stdio_file wrapping stdout, so the pager thinks
that it is ok to buffer the output. However, in this setup, it isn't
ok, and flushing the wrap buffer doesn't really work properly. Also,
MI next does:
mi_out_put (uiout, mi->raw_stdout);
... but this uses ui_file::write, which also doesn't flush the wrap
buffer.
I think all this will be fixed by the pager rewrite series I'm working
on. However, in the meantime, adding the old gdb_stdout check back to
the pager fixes this problem.

I noticed yesterday that if gdb output is redirected to a file, the
pager will still be active. This is irritating, because the output
isn't actually visible -- just the pager prompt. Looking in bugzilla,
I found that this had been filed 17 years ago, as PR cli/8798.
This patch fixes the bug. It changes the pagination code to query the
particular ui-file to see if paging is allowable. The ui-file
implementations are changed so that only the stdout implementation and
a tee (where one sub-file is stdout) can page.

gdbtypes.h uses core_addr_eq and core_addr_hash in a weird way: taking
the address of a member and then passing this (as a void*) to these
functions.
It seems better to simply inline the ordinary code here. CORE_ADDR is
a scalar so it can be directly compared, and the identity hash
function seems safe to assume as well.
After this, core_addr_eq and core_addr_hash are unused, so this patch
removes them.
|
|
gdb_print_host_address is just a simple wrapper around
fprintf_filtered. However, it is readily replaced in all callers by a
combination of %s and call to host_address_to_string. This also
simplifies the code, so I think it's worthwhile to remove this
function.

gdb_bfd.c contains most of gdb's BFD-related utility functions.
However, gdb_bfd_errmsg is in utils.c. It seemed better to me to move
this out of util.[ch] and into the BFD-related file instead.

This removes the print_spaces helper function, in favor of using the
"*%s" idiom that's already used in many places in gdb. One spot (in
symmisc.c) is changed to use print_spaces_filtered, because the rest
of that function is using filtered output. (This highlights one way
that the printf idiom is better -- this error is harder to make when
using that.)

n_spaces keeps the spaces in a static buffer. If a caller overwrites
these, it may give an incorrect result to a subsequent caller. So,
make the return type const to help avoid this outcome.

callers are updated.
