2013-11-15gdb.ada/info_exc.exp,mi_exc_info.exp: handle runtimes with full debug info.Joel Brobecker3-2/+11
If the runtime has full debug info, then the non-standard exceptions declared in the GNAT runtime will appear in the list of exceptions printed by GDB ("info exceptions" or "-info-ada-exceptions"). This is valid output, so this patch allows for it. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/info_exc.exp: Allow other global exceptions to be listed in the output of "info exceptions". * gdb.ada/mi_exc_info.exp: Allow other global exceptions to be listed in the output of "-info-ada-exceptions".
2013-11-15Fix GDB crash with upstream GCC due to memcpy(NULL, ...)Andreas Arnez2-2/+8
Similar to qsort(), the glibc version of memcpy() also declares its arguments with __attribute__(__nonnull__(...)). If NULL is passed anyway, upstream GCC's new pass '-fisolate-erroneous-paths' typically causes a trap in such cases. I've encountered this with GDB in chain_candidate() when trying to execute the break.exp test case. gdb/ 2013-11-13 Andreas Arnez <arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com> * dwarf2loc.c (chain_candidate): Prevent invoking memcpy with NULL.
2013-11-15Start inferior before running test listing Ada exceptions.Joel Brobecker3-0/+17
This patch fixes some spurious failures when the inferior is linked against the shared version of libgnat by default, as appears to be the case on many GNU/Linux distributions. When that happens, we have to start the program in order to ensure that the GNAT runtime is mapped to memory, in order for us to find the standard exceptions (defined within the runtime). Otherwise, they will not be shown, as expected, by the debugger. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/info_exc.exp: Start inferior before starting the "info exceptions" tests. * gdb.ada/mi_exc_info.exp: Start inferior before starting the "-info-ada-exceptions" tests.
2013-11-15fix PR c++/16117Tom Tromey8-23/+159
This patch fixes PR c++/16117. gdb has an extension so that users can use expressions like FILE::NAME to choose a variable of the given name from the given file. The bug is that this extension takes precedence over ordinary C++ expressions of the same form. You might think this is merely hypothetical, but now that C++ headers commonly do not use an extension, it is more common. This patch fixes the bug by making two related changes. First, it changes gdb to prefer the ordinary C++ meaning of a symbol over the extended meaning. Second, it arranges for single-quoting of the symbol to indicate a preference for the extension. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18. New test case included. 2013-11-15 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com> PR c++/16117: * c-exp.y (lex_one_token): Add "is_quoted_name" argument.

2013-11-14Fix DW_OP_GNU_regval_type with FP registersJoel Brobecker14-5/+247
Consider the following code, compiled at -O2 on ppc-linux: procedure Increment (Val : in out Float; Msg : String); The implementation does not really matter in this case). In our example, this function is being called from a function with Param_1 set to 99.0. Trying to break inside that function, and running until reaching that breakpoint yields: (gdb) b increment Breakpoint 1 at 0x100014b4: file callee.adb, line 6. (gdb) run Starting program: /[...]/foo Breakpoint 1, callee.increment (val=99.0, val@entry=0.0, msg=...) at callee.adb:6 6 if Val > 200.0 then The @entry value for parameter "val" is incorrect, it should be 99.0. The associated call-site parameter DIE looks like this: .uleb128 0xc # (DIE (0x115) DW_TAG_GNU_call_site_parameter) .byte 0x2 # DW_AT_location .byte 0x90 # DW_OP_regx .uleb128 0x21 .byte 0x3 # DW_AT_GNU_call_site_value .byte 0xf5 # DW_OP_GNU_regval_type .uleb128 0x3f .uleb128 0x25 The DW_AT_GNU_call_site_value uses a DW_OP_GNU_regval_type operation, referencing register 0x3f=63, which is $f31, an 8-byte floating register. In that register, the value is stored using the usual 8-byte float format: (gdb) info float f31 99.0 (raw 0x4058c00000000000) The current code evaluating DW_OP_GNU_regval_type operations currently is (dwarf2expr.c:execute_stack_op): result = (ctx->funcs->read_reg) (ctx->baton, reg); result_val = value_from_ulongest (address_type, result); result_val = value_from_contents (type, value_contents_all (result_val)); What the ctx->funcs->read_reg function does is read the contents of the register as if it contained an address. The rest of the code continues that assumption, thinking it's OK to then use that to create an address/ulongest struct value, which we then re-type to the type specified by DW_OP_GNU_regval_type. We're getting 0.0 above because the read_reg implementations end up treating the contents of the FP register as an integral, reading only 4 out of the 8 bytes. Being a big-endian target, we read the high-order ones, which gives us zero. This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new callback to read the contents of a register as a given type, and then adjust the handling of DW_OP_GNU_regval_type to use that new callback. gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2expr.h (struct dwarf_expr_context_funcs) <read_reg>: Extend the documentation a bit. <get_reg_value>: New field. * dwarf2loc.c (dwarf_expr_get_reg_value) (needs_frame_get_reg_value): New functions.

2013-11-15PowerPC64 ELFv2 trampoline matchAlan Modra3-38/+208
ELFv2 needs different plt call stubs to ELFv1, register usage differs too. When I added these to ld I changed register usage in the ELFv1 stubs as well, simplifying the linker code and (perhaps) future maintenance. All well and good, but this means gdb needs to cope with more stub variants. This patch also handles skipping over addis/addi setting up r2 in ELFv2 global entry code.

2013-11-14infrun.c:handle_signal_stop: Move initial connection/attachment handling ↵Pedro Alves2-51/+62
code earlier. Before all this stop_soon handling, we have code that can end in keep_going. Particularly, the thread_hop_needed code looked suspicious considering breakpoint always-inserted mode, though on closer inspection, it'd take connecting to multiple remote targets that shared the same address space to trigger that. Still, I think it's clearer if all this remote connection setup / attach code is placed early, before any keep_going path could be reached. gdb/ 2013-11-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (handle_signal_stop): Move STOP_QUIETLY, STOP_QUIETLY_REMOTE and 'stop_after_trap' handling earlier.
2013-11-14infrun.c: Split handle_inferior_event further.Pedro Alves2-21/+50
After the previous patches, we only ever reach the code after the initial 'switch (ecs->ws.kind)' switch for TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED. We can now factor out all that to its own function. Unfortunately, stepped_after_stopped_by_watchpoint needed to move to the ecs. I think that indicates a state machine bug -- no event other than TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED indicates a single-step actually finished. TARGET_WAITKIND_SYSCALL_XXX, TARGET_WAITKIND_FORK, etc. are all events that are triggered from the kernel, _within_ a syscall, IOW, from userspace's perspective, halfway through an instruction being executed. This might actually matter for the syscall events, as syscalls can change memory (and thus trigger watchpoints). gdb/ 2013-11-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (struct execution_control_state) <stepped_after_stopped_by_watchpoint>: New field. (get_inferior_stop_soon): New function. (handle_inferior_event): 'stepped_after_stopped_by_watchpoint' was moved to struct execution_control_state -- adjust. Use get_inferior_stop_soon.

2013-11-14Eliminate enum bpstat_signal_value, simplify random signal checks further.Pedro Alves5-58/+40
After the previous patch, there's actually no breakpoint type that returns BPSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE, so we can go back to having bpstat_explains_signal return a boolean. The signal hiding actually disappears. gdb/ 2013-11-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * break-catch-sig.c (signal_catchpoint_explains_signal): Adjust to return a boolean. * breakpoint.c (bpstat_explains_signal): Adjust to return a boolean.

2013-11-14infrun.c:handle_inferior_event: Rework random signal checks.Pedro Alves3-23/+28
Looking at the current random signal checks: if (ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_signal == GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP) random_signal = !((bpstat_explains_signal (ecs->event_thread->control.stop_bpstat, GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP) != BPSTAT_SIGNAL_NO) || stopped_by_watchpoint || ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected || (ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_end && (ecs->event_thread->control.step_resume_breakpoint == NULL))); else { enum bpstat_signal_value sval; sval = bpstat_explains_signal (ecs->event_thread->control.stop_bpstat, ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_signal); random_signal = (sval == BPSTAT_SIGNAL_NO); if (sval == BPSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE) ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_signal = GDB_SIGNAL_0; } We can observe: - the stepping checks bit: ... || ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected || (ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_end && (ecs->event_thread->control.step_resume_breakpoint == NULL))); ... is just like currently_stepping: static int currently_stepping (struct thread_info *tp) { return ((tp->control.step_range_end && tp->control.step_resume_breakpoint == NULL) || tp->control.trap_expected || bpstat_should_step ()); } except it misses the bpstat_should_step check (***). It's not really necessary to check bpstat_should_step in the random signal tests, because software watchpoints always end up in the bpstat list anyway, which means bpstat_explains_signal with GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP always returns at least BPSSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE, but I think the code is clearer if we reuse currently_stepping. *** - bpstat_should_step checks to see if there's any software watchpoint in the breakpoint list, because we need to force the target to single-step all the way, to evaluate the watchpoint's value at each step. - we never hide GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, even if the bpstat returns BPSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE, which is actually the default for all breakpoints. If we make the default be BPSTAT_SIGNAL_PASS, then we can merge the two bpstat_explains_signal paths. gdb/ 2013-11-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * breakpoint.c (bpstat_explains_signal) <Moribund locations>: Return BPSTAT_SIGNAL_PASS instead of BPSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE.

2013-11-14infrun.c: Don't set ecs->random_signal for "catchpoint" events (eliminate ↵Pedro Alves2-32/+26
ecs->random_signal). This goes a step forward in making only TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED talk about signals. There's no reason for the "catchpoint" TARGET_WAITKIND_XXXs to consult bpstat about signals -- unlike breakpoints, all these events are continuable, so we don't need to do a remove-break/step/reinsert-break -like dance. That means we don't actually need to run them through process_event_stop_test (for the bpstat_what checks), and can just use bpstat_causes_stop instead. Note we were already using it in the TARGET_WAITKIND_(V)FORKED cases. Then, these "catchpoint" waitkinds don't need to set ecs->random_signal for anything, because they check it immediately afterwards (and the value they set is never used again). gdb/ 2013-11-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (struct execution_control_state): Remove 'random_signal' field.

2013-11-14infrun.c:handle_inferior_event: Don't fall through in TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED ↵Pedro Alves2-8/+23
handling. Of all the TARGET_WAITKIND_XXXs event kinds other than TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED is the only kind that doesn't end in a return, instead falling through to all the signal/breakpoint/stepping handling code. But it only falls through in the STOP_QUIETLY_NO_SIGSTOP and STOP_QUIETLY_REMOTE cases, which means the /* This is originated from start_remote(), start_inferior() and shared libraries hook functions. */ if (stop_soon == STOP_QUIETLY || stop_soon == STOP_QUIETLY_REMOTE) { if (debug_infrun) fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog, "infrun: quietly stopped\n"); stop_stepping (ecs); return; } bit is eventually reached. All tests before that is reached will always fail. It's simpler to inline the stop_soon checks close to the TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED code, which allows removing the fall through. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, but that doesn't exercise this TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED. Also ran gdb.base/solib-disc.exp on Cygwin/gdbserver, which exercises reconnection while the inferior is stopped at an solib event, but then again, gdbserver always replies a regular trap on initial connection, instead of the last event the program had seen: Sending packet: $?#3f...Packet received: T0505:4ca72800;04:f8a62800;08:62fcc877;thread:d28; Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received: E01 Sending packet: $qAttached#8f...Packet received: 0 Packet qAttached (query-attached) is supported infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 3368) Sending packet: $qOffsets#4b...Packet received: infrun: wait_for_inferior () infrun: target_wait (-1, status) = infrun: 42000 [Thread 3368], infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP infrun: infwait_normal_state infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED infrun: stop_pc = 0x77c8fc62 infrun: quietly stopped infrun: stop_stepping So the only way to exercise this would be to hack gdbserver. I didn't go that far though. I'm reasonably confident this is correct. gdb/ 2013-11-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event) <TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED>: Handle STOP_QUIETLY_NO_SIGSTOP and STOP_QUIETLY_REMOTE here.

2013-11-14testsuite/gdb.dwarf2: dw2-case-insensitive.exp: p fuNC_lang fails on armOmair Javaid3-4/+23
dw2-case-insensitive.exp: p fuNC_lang fails on arm. The problem occurs when thumb mode code is generated. On ARM last bit of function pointer value indicates whether the target function is an ARM (if 0) or Thumb (if 1) routine. The PC address should refer to actual address in either case. This patch adds new compile unit and function labels to code which act as address ranges of compile unit and functions in debug information. Therefore address ranges will have correct addresses and not the ones with an incremented least significant bit. This patch has been tested on x86_64 and arm machines. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2013-11-14 Omair Javaid <Omair.Javaid@linaro.org> * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-case-insensitive-debug.S: Updated compile unit and function label names. * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-case-insensitive.c: Created function and compile unit labels.
2013-11-14GDB/MI: Add new "--language LANG" command option.Joel Brobecker9-1/+142
Frontend sometimes need to evaluate expressions that are language-specific. For instance, Eclipse uses the following expression to determine the size of an address on the target: -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)" Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C, this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get... -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)" ^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context." ... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result. The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as: 1. save current language 2. set language c 3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)" 4. Restore language This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead. This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar new command option: --language LANG. Example of use: -data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)" ^done,value="4" gdb/ChangeLog: * mi/mi-parse.h (struct mi_parse) <language>: New field. * mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_execute): Temporarily set language to PARSE->LANGUAGE during command execution, if set. * mi/mi-parse.c: Add "language.h" #include.

2013-11-13crash while re-reading symbols from objfile on ppc-aix.Joel Brobecker2-2/+11
This patch aims at fixing the following problem, where the user: . debugs its program . makes a modification and rebuilds it *without exiting the debugger* . returns to its debugging session and restarts the inferior In that situation, the debugger notices that the underlying executable has changed and that re-reading its symbols is needed. Shortly after displaying a message informing the user of the situation, GDB crashes: (gdb) run [...] `/[...]/dest' has changed; re-reading symbols. zsh: 13434922 segmentation fault (core dumped) The crash occurs while trying to allocate some memory on the bfd_bfd obstack. But, at some point in time, the whole obstack data gets corrupted, nullified. So the memory allocation fails trying to call a function at a NULL address. (side note: when debugging GDB in GDB, top-gdb reports a SIGILL, while the shell makes it look like it was a SIGSEGV - the discrepancy is not critical to the investigation and therefore was not explored) The corruption occurred because the region where the per_bfd data got free'ed nearly after it got allocated! This is what happens, in chronological order (see reread_symbols): 1. GDB notices that the executable has changed, decides to re-read its symbols. 2. Opens a new bfd, unrefs the old one 3. Calls set_objfile_per_bfd (objfile); 4. Re-initializes the objfile's obstack: obstack_init (&objfile->objfile_obstack); I think that the normal behavior for set_objfile_per_bfd would be to search for already-allocated shared per_bfd data, and allocate new one if not found. The critical difference between a platform such as x86_64-linuxe where it works, and ppc-aix, where it doesn't lies in the fact that bfd-data sharing is not activated on ppc-aix, and as a result, the per-bfd data gets allocated on the objfile's obstack instead of in the bfd objalloc: /* If the object requires gdb to do relocations, we simply fall back to not sharing data across users. These cases are rare enough that this seems reasonable. */ if (abfd != NULL && !gdb_bfd_requires_relocations (abfd)) { storage = bfd_zalloc (abfd, sizeof (struct objfile_per_bfd_storage)); set_bfd_data (abfd, objfiles_bfd_data, storage); } else storage = OBSTACK_ZALLOC (&objfile->objfile_obstack, struct objfile_per_bfd_storage); Allocating that per_bfd storage is of course nearly useless since we end up free-ing right after in step (4) above. Eventually, the memory region ends up being re-used, hence the corruption leading to the crash. This fix was simply to move the call to set_objfile_per_bfd after the objfile's obstack re-initialization. gdb/ChangeLog: * symfile.c (reread_symbols): Move call to set_objfile_per_bfd after re-initialization of OBJFILE's obstack.

2013-11-12Fix GDB crash with upstream GCC due to qsort(NULL, ...)Andreas Arnez2-0/+10
Upstream GCC's new pass '-fisolate-erroneous-paths' may introduce traps at places where GCC has determined undefined behavior, e.g. when passing a NULL pointer to a function that defines this argument as __attribute__(__nonnull__(...)). In particular this applies to uniquify_strings(), because it invokes qsort() with NULL when the 'strings' vector is empty. I hit this problem on s390x when trying to execute "break main" on a C program. gdb/ 2013-11-12 Andreas Arnez <arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com> * objc-lang.c (uniquify_strings): Prevent invoking qsort with NULL.

2013-11-12Implement GDB/MI equivalent of "info exceptions" CLI command.Joel Brobecker8-0/+147
This patch implements a new GDB/MI command implementing the equivalent of the "info exceptions" CLI command. The command syntax is: -info-ada-exceptions [REGEXP] Here is an example of usage (slightly formatted by hand to make it easier to read): -info-ada-exceptions ions\.a_ ^done,ada-exceptions= {nr_rows="2",nr_cols="2", hdr=[{width="1",alignment="-1",col_name="name",colhdr="Name"}, {width="1",alignment="-1",col_name="address",colhdr="Address"}], body=[{name="global_exceptions.a_global_exception", address="0x0000000000613a80"}, {name="global_exceptions.a_private_exception", address="0x0000000000613ac0"}]} Also, in order to allow graphical frontends to easily determine whether this command is available or not, the output of the "-list-features" command has been augmented to contain "info-ada-exceptions". gdb/Changelog: * mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_info_ada_exceptions): Add declaration. * mi/mi-cmds.c (mi_cmds): Add entry for -info-ada-exceptions command. * mi/mi-cmd-info.c: #include "ada-lang.c" and "arch-utils.c".

2013-11-12Add command to list Ada exceptionsJoel Brobecker7-0/+488
This patch adds a new command "info exceptions" whose purpose is to provide the list of exceptions currently defined in the inferior. The usage is: (gdb) info exceptions [REGEXP] Without argument, the command lists all exceptions. Otherwise, only those whose name match REGEXP are listed. For instance: (gdb) info exceptions All defined Ada exceptions: constraint_error: 0x613dc0 program_error: 0x613d40 storage_error: 0x613d00 tasking_error: 0x613cc0 global_exceptions.a_global_exception: 0x613a80 global_exceptions.a_private_exception: 0x613ac0 The name of the command, as well as its output is part of a legacy I inherited long ago. It's output being parsed by frontends such as GPS, I cannot easily change it. Same for the command name. The implementation is mostly self-contained, and is written in a way that should make it easy to implement the GDB/MI equivalent. The careful reviewer will notice that the code added in ada-lang.h could normally be made private inside ada-lang.c. But these will be used by the GDB/MI implementation. Rather than making those private now, only to move them later, I've made them public right away. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.h: #include "vec.h". (struct ada_exc_info): New. (ada_exc_info): New typedef. (DEF_VEC_O(ada_exc_info)): New vector.

2013-11-11Dandling memory pointers in Ada catchpoints with GDB/MI.Joel Brobecker7-5/+174
When using the GDB/MI commands to insert a catchpoint on a specific Ada exception, any re-evaluation of that catchpoint (for instance a re-evaluation performed after a shared library got mapped by the inferior) fails. For instance, with any Ada program: (gdb) -catch-exception -e program_error ^done,bkptno="1",bkpt={[...]} (gdb) -exec-run =thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="28315" =thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1" ^running *running,thread-id="all" (gdb) =library-loaded,[...] &"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n" &"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n" [...] The same is true if using an Ada exception catchpoint. The problem comes from the fact that that we deallocate the strings given as arguments to create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while the latter just makes shallow copies of those strings, thus creating dandling pointers. This patch fixes the issue by passing freshly allocated strings to create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while at the same time updating create_ada_exception_catchpoint's documentation to make it clear that deallocating the strings is no longer the responsibility of the caller. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (create_ada_exception_catchpoint): Enhance the documentation of fields "except_string" and "condition". * mi/mi-cmd-catch.c (mi_cmd_catch_assert): Reallocate CONDITION on the heap before passing it to create_ada_exception_catchpoint.

An earlier patch removed the check for "syscall" since the results were not used in the C code. However, the result was used, via the cache variable, elsewhere in configure.
