2019-08-06Add obstack_strdup overload taking a std::stringTom Tromey7-36/+38
This adds an obstack_strdup overload that takes a std::string, and changes a few spots in gdb to use it. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-06 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * symfile.c (reread_symbols): Use obstack_strdup. * stabsread.c (read_type): Use obstack_strdup. * gdb_obstack.h (obstack_strdup): New overload. * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_compute_name, create_dwo_unit_in_dwp_v1) (create_dwo_unit_in_dwp_v2, build_error_marker_type) (dwarf2_canonicalize_name): Use obstack_strdup. * dbxread.c (read_dbx_symtab): Use obstack_strdup. * cp-support.c (inspect_type, replace_typedefs_qualified_name): Use obstack_strdup.

2019-08-07Add a selftest that checks documentation invariants.Philippe Waroquiers3-0/+113
Several approaches were discussed (mail or irc) to verify the invariants of the GDB help documentation : checking with apropos ., modifying add_cmd to do the check and output a warning, implement maintenance check-doc. A selftest was finally chosen as: * this can be run on demand, including by users if they want to check user defined commands. * it does not interact with the normal behaviour of apropos, define, python, ... (such as output warnings when a user defines a command help that does not respect the doc). * when the selftest runs, it checks the user defined and python defined commands currently defined. gdb/ChangeLog * unittests/help-doc-selftests.c: New file. * Makefile.in: Add the new file.
2019-08-07Make first and last lines of 'command help documentation' consistent.Philippe Waroquiers53-265/+400
With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants: * The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character. * The last character of a command help is not a newline character. Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of : [PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then. Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above invariants. Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.' or ',' character. This was giving inconsistent results : * The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated, sometimes not. * The first line of command helps was not always designed to be readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first '.' or ',' character. This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems: < catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions < catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions < catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names < down-silently -- Same as the `down' command while the new help is: > catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised. > catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled. > catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers. > down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything. Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline character, but this was not respected by all commands. The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences. So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the end of %OPTIONS% replacement. This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants given above. It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs. Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by 'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command help) now outputs the full first line of a command help. This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs. There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings). gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-07 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * cli/cli-decode.h (print_doc_line): Add for_value_prefix argument. * cli/cli-decode.c (print_doc_line): Likewise.

2019-08-06[PR build/24886] disable glibc mcheck supportFrank Ch. Eigler13-290/+63
This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function. It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is apparently itself being slowly deprecated. So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

2019-08-06Add more styling to "disassemble"Tom Tromey12-37/+94
This adds more styling to the disassemble command. In particular, addresses and function names in the disassembly are now styled. This required fixing a small latent bug in set_output_style. This function always passed NULL to emit_style_escape; but when writing to a file other than gdb_stdout, it should emit the style escape directly. (FWIW this is another argument for better integrating the pager with ui_file and getting rid of this entire layer.) gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-06 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * utils.c (set_output_style): Sometimes pass stream to emit_style_escape. * ui-out.h (class ui_out) <can_emit_style_escape>: Declare. * record-btrace.c (btrace_insn_history): Update. * mi/mi-out.h (class mi_ui_out) <can_emit_style_escape>: New method. * disasm.h (gdb_pretty_print_disassembler): Add uiout parameter.

2019-08-06Clean up source file error reportingTom Tromey2-14/+18
print_source_lines_base reopens the source file every time that a source line is to be printed. However, there's no need to do this so frequently -- it's enough to do it when switching source files, and otherwise rely on the cache. The code seems to try to avoid these multiple opens; at a guess I'd say something just got confused along the way. This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing the code both to make it more clear, and to ensure that reopens only occur when the "last source visited" changes. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * source.c (last_source_error): Now bool. (print_source_lines_base): Make "noprint" bool. Only open source file when last_source_visited changes.
2019-08-06Add file offsets to the source cacheTom Tromey8-192/+228
Currently, gdb stores the number of lines and an array of file offsets for the start of each line in struct symtab. This patch moves this information to the source cache. This has two benefits. First, it allows gdb to read a source file less frequently. Currently, a source file may be read multiple times: once when computing the file offsets, once when highlighting, and then pieces may be read again while printing source lines. With this change, the file is read once for its source text and file offsets; and then perhaps read again if it is evicted from the cache. Second, if multiple symtabs cover the same source file, then this will share the file offsets between them. I'm not sure whether this happens in practice. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * annotate.c (annotate_source_line): Use g_source_cache. * source-cache.c (source_cache::get_plain_source_lines): Change parameters.

2019-08-06Save plain text in the source cacheTom Tromey3-76/+55
Currently the source cache will only store highlighted text. However, there's no reason it could not also store plain text, when styling is turned off. This patch makes this change. This also simplifies the source cache code somewhat. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * source-cache.c (source_cache::get_plain_source_lines): Remove "first_line" and "last_line" parameters. (source_cache::get_source_lines): Cache plain text. * source-cache.h (class source_cache) <get_plain_source_lines>: Update.
2019-08-06Fix latent bug in source cacheTom Tromey3-17/+47
The source cache was not returning the final \n of the requested range of lines. This caused regressions with later patches in this series, so this patch pre-emptively fixes the bug. This adds a self-test of "extract_lines" to the source cache code. To make it simpler to test, I changed extract_lines to be a static function, and changed it's API a bit. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * source-cache.c (extract_lines): No longer a method.

2019-08-05Increase timeout in gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.expSimon Marchi2-4/+16
Running make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp" on my machine results in timeout failures. Running it while having `tail -F testsuite/gdb.log` on the side shows that the test is never really blocked, it is just slow at consuming the large output generated by `-list-thread-groups --available` (which lists all the processes on the system). If I increase the timeout to a large value, the test passes in ~30 seconds (compared to under 1 second normally). Increase the timeout for the particular mi_gdb_test that is long to execute under read1. The new timeout value is a bit arbitrary. The default timeout is 10 seconds, so I set the new timeout to be "old-timeout * 10", so 100 seconds in the typical case. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR gdb/24863 * gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp: Increase timeout for -list-thread-groups --available test when running under check-read1.

2019-08-05Use _() in calls to build_helpTom Tromey5-10/+17
Currently some code in gdb uses build_help with N_(), like: static const std::string compile_print_help = gdb::option::build_help (N_("\ I believe this is incorrect. The N_ macro is used to mark text that should end up in the message catalog, but which will be translated by a later call to gettext. However, in this case, there is no later call to gettext, so (if gdb had translations), this text would remain untranslated. Instead, I think using the ordinary _() macro is correct here. Translators will have to know to preserve "%OPTIONS%" in the text -- but that seems both unavoidable and fine. Tested by rebuilding as there's not much else to do. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-08-05 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * compile/compile.c (_initialize_compile): Use _(), not N_(). * thread.c (_initialize_thread): Use _(), not N_(). * stack.c (_initialize_stack): Use _(), not N_(). * printcmd.c (_initialize_printcmd): Use _(), not N_().

2019-07-30Allow nested function displaysTom Tromey7-4/+113
In Ada, it's possible to have nested functions. However, block.c:contained_in does not recognize this. Normally, this is no problem, but if gdb is stopped inside a nested function, then you can end up in the unexpected situation that "print" of an expression will work, whereas "display" of the same expression will not -- because contained_in returns 0. This patch simply removes the BLOCK_FUNCTION check from contained_in. The rationale here is that in languages without nested functions, this will not cause any issues. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-07-30 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * block.c (contained_in): Remove BLOCK_FUNCTION check. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2019-07-30 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * gdb.ada/display_nested.exp: New file. * gdb.ada/display_nested/foo.adb: New file. * gdb.ada/display_nested/pack.adb: New file. * gdb.ada/display_nested/pack.ads: New file.
2019-07-30Allow display of negative offsets in print_address_symbolic()Kevin Buettner2-6/+8
When examining addresses associated with blocks with non-contiguous address ranges, it's not uncommon to see large positive offsets which, for some address width, actually represent a smaller negative offset. Here's an example taken from the test case (using the dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold executable): (gdb) x/5i foo_cold 0x40110d <foo+4294967277>: push %rbp 0x40110e <foo+4294967278>: mov %rsp,%rbp 0x401111 <foo+4294967281>: callq 0x401106 <baz> 0x401116 <foo+4294967286>: nop 0x401117 <foo+4294967287>: pop %rbp This commit, in conjuction with an earlier patch from this series, causes cases like the above to be displayed like this (below) instead: (gdb) x/5i foo_cold 0x40110d <foo_cold>: push %rbp 0x40110e <foo-18>: mov %rsp,%rbp 0x401111 <foo-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz> 0x401116 <foo-10>: nop 0x401117 <foo-9>: pop %rbp Note that the address of foo_cold is now (due to another patch) being displayed as <foo_cold> instead of <foo+BigOffset>. The subsequent lines are shown as negative offsets from foo. Disassembly using the "disassemble" command is somewhat affected by these changes: Before: (gdb) disassemble foo_cold Dump of assembler code for function foo: Address range 0x401120 to 0x40113b: 0x0000000000401120 <+0>: push %rbp 0x0000000000401121 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp 0x0000000000401124 <+4>: callq 0x401119 <bar> 0x0000000000401129 <+9>: mov 0x2ef1(%rip),%eax # 0x404020 <e> 0x000000000040112f <+15>: test %eax,%eax 0x0000000000401131 <+17>: je 0x401138 <foo+24> 0x0000000000401133 <+19>: callq 0x40110d <foo+4294967277> 0x0000000000401138 <+24>: nop 0x0000000000401139 <+25>: pop %rbp 0x000000000040113a <+26>: retq Address range 0x40110d to 0x401119: 0x000000000040110d <+-19>: push %rbp 0x000000000040110e <+-18>: mov %rsp,%rbp 0x0000000000401111 <+-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz> 0x0000000000401116 <+-10>: nop 0x0000000000401117 <+-9>: pop %rbp 0x0000000000401118 <+-8>: retq End of assembler dump.

2019-07-29Implement 'set print frame-info|frame-arguments presence'.Philippe Waroquiers6-40/+263
New settings allow to better control what frame information is printed. 'set print frame-info' allows to override the default frame information printed when a GDB command prints a frame. The backtrace command has a new option -frame-info to override this global setting. It is now possible to have very short frame information by using the new 'set print frame-arguments presence' and 'set print frame-info short-location'. Combined with 'set print address off', a backtrace will only show the essential information to see the function call chain, e.g.: (gdb) set print address off (gdb) set print frame-arguments presence (gdb) set print frame-info short-location (gdb) bt #0 break_me () #1 call_me (...) #2 main () (gdb) This is handy in particular for big backtraces with functions having many arguments. Python frame filter printing logic has been updated to respect the new setting in non MI mode. Also, the default frame information printed was inconsistent when backtrace was printing the frame information itself, or when the python frame filtering code was printing the frame information. This patch changes the default of python frame filtering to have a consistent behaviour regarding printed frame-information, whatever the presence/activity/matches of python filters. 2019-07-29 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * frame.h (enum print_what): New value 'SHORT_LOCATION', update comments.
