2022-01-13gdb: don't use -Wmissing-prototypes with g++Andrew Burgess1-0/+3
This commit aims to not make use of -Wmissing-prototypes when compiling with g++. Use of -Wmissing-prototypes was added with this commit: commit a0761e34f054767de6d6389929d27e9015fb299b Date: Wed Mar 11 15:15:12 2020 -0400 gdb: enable -Wmissing-prototypes warning Because clang can provide helpful warnings with this flag. Unfortunately, g++ doesn't accept this flag, and will give this warning: cc1plus: warning: command line option ‘-Wmissing-prototypes’ is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ In theory the fact that this flag is not supported should be detected by the configure check in gdbsupport/warning.m4, but for users of ccache, this check doesn't work due to a long standing ccache issue: https://github.com/ccache/ccache/issues/738 The ccache problem is that -W... options are reordered on the command line, and so -Wmissing-prototypes is seen before -Werror. Usually this doesn't matter, but the above warning (about the flag not being valid) is issued before the -Werror flag is processed, and so is not fatal. There have been two previous attempts to fix this that I'm aware of. The first is: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-September/182148.html In this attempt, instead of just relying on a compile to check if a flag is valid, the proposal was to both compile and link. As linking doesn't go through ccache, we don't suffer from the argument reordering problem, and the link phase will correctly fail when using -Wmissing-prototypes with g++. The configure script will then disable the use of this flag. This approach was rejected, and the suggestion was to only add the -Wmissing-prototypes flag if we are compiling with gcc. The second attempt, attempts this approach, and can be found here: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-November/183076.html This attempt only adds the -Wmissing-prototypes flag is the value of GCC is not 'yes'. This feels like it is doing the right thing, unfortunately, the GCC flag is really a 'is gcc like' flag, not a strict, is gcc check. As such, GCC is set to 'yes' for clang, which would mean the flag was not included for clang or gcc. The entire point of the original commit was to add this flag for clang, so clearly the second attempt is not sufficient either. In this new attempt I have added gdbsupport/compiler-type.m4, this file defines AM_GDB_COMPILER_TYPE. This macro sets the variable GDB_COMPILER_TYPE to either 'gcc', 'clang', or 'unknown'. In future the list of values might be extended to cover other compilers, if this is ever useful. I've then modified gdbsupport/warning.m4 to only add the problematic -Wmissing-prototypes flag if GDB_COMPILER_TYPE is not 'gcc'. I've tested this with both gcc and clang and see the expected results, gcc no longer attempts to use the -Wmissing-prototypes flag, while clang continues to use it. When compiling using ccache, I am no longer seeing the warning.
2021-06-19gdb/gdbserver: switch to AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRSMike Frysinger1-19/+6
These dirs don't use automake, so use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS to specify ../config as a search dir for m4 macros. This allows removal of a lot of hand-written m4_include's from acinclude.m4 files, and simplifies use of `aclocal` or `autoreconf` as manual -I is not needed.
2020-10-31gdbserver: replace AC_TRY_COMPILE in acinclude.m4Simon Marchi1-15/+17
... with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM. All changes in the generated configure file are insignificant whitespace changes. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * acinclude.m4: Replace AC_TRY_COMPILE with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE + AC_LANG_PROGRAM. * configure: Re-generate. Change-Id: Idab8b5e1a984046b5283940c02e5a22da2291d58
2020-10-25gdb: move ptrace.m4 to gdbsupportSimon Marchi1-1/+1
ptrace.m4, providing the GDB_AC_PTRACE autoconf macro, is used by gdb, gdbserver and gdbsupport. I think it would make sense to move it to gdbsupport. gdb/ChangeLog: * acinclude.m4: Update ptrace.m4 path. * ptrace.m4: Moved to gdbsupport. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * acinclude.m4: Update ptrace.m4 path. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in: Re-generate. * acinclude.m4: Update ptrace.m4 path. * ptrace.m4: Move here.

2020-03-12Fix gdbserver build when intl already builtTom Tromey1-0/+3
gdbserver uses gdb's alloc.c, and this in turn can include headers from intl via gdbsupport/gdb_locale.h. This can cause build failures in some situations, for example if you build gdb and gdbserver on mingw. This patch restores the gdbsupport dependency on intl, and changes gdbserver to use ZW_GNU_GETTEXT_SISTER_DIR. This fixes this build problem. ChangeLog 2020-03-12 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * Makefile.in: Rebuild. * Makefile.def (gdbsupport): Depend on intl. gdbserver/ChangeLog 2020-03-12 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * config.in, configure: Rebuild. * configure.ac: Call ZW_GNU_GETTEXT_SISTER_DIR. * acinclude.m4: Include gettext-sister.m4. * Makefile.in (top_builddir, INTL, INTL_DEPS, INTL_CFLAGS): New variables. (INCLUDE_CFLAGS): Add INTL_CFLAGS. (gdbserver$(EXEEXT), gdbreplay$(EXEEXT)): Use INTL_DEPS, INTL.
2020-03-12Move gdb/selftest.m4 to gdbsupport/selftest.m4Simon Marchi1-1/+1
The selftest.m4 file is used by gdb, gdbserver and gdbsupport, I think it belongs in gdbsupport. gdb/ChangeLog: * selftest.m4: Move to gdbsupport/. * acinclude.m4: Update path to selftest.m4. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * acinclude.m4: Update path to selftest.m4. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: * selftest.m4: Moved from gdb/. * acinclude.m4: Update path to selftest.m4.
2020-02-14Change gdbserver to use existing gnulib and libibertyTom Tromey1-2/+0
This changes gdbserver so that it no longer builds its own gnulib and libiberty. Instead, it now relies on the ones that were already built at the top level. gdbsupport is still built specially for gdbserver. This is more complicated and will be tackled in a subsequent patch. ChangeLog 2020-02-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * Makefile.in: Rebuild. * Makefile.def: Make gdbserver require gnulib and libiberty. gdbserver/ChangeLog 2020-02-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * acinclude.m4: Don't include acx_configure_dir.m4. * Makefile.in (LIBIBERTY_BUILDDIR, GNULIB_BUILDDIR): Update. (SUBDIRS, CLEANDIRS, REQUIRED_SUBDIRS): Remove. (all, install-only, uninstall, clean-info, clean) (maintainer-clean): Don't recurse. (subdir_do, all-lib): Remove. ($(LIBGNU) $(LIBIBERTY) $(GNULIB_H)): Remove rule. (GNULIB_H): Remove. (generated_files): Update. ($(GNULIB_BUILDDIR)/Makefile): Remove rule. * configure: Rebuild. * configure.ac: Don't configure gnulib or libiberty. (GNULIB): Update. gdbsupport/ChangeLog 2020-02-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * common-defs.h: Change path to gnulib/config.h. Change-Id: I469cbbf5db2ab37109c058e9e3a1e4f4dabdfc98
2020-02-11Move gdb/warning.m4 to gdbsupportSimon Marchi1-2/+2
This file is used by gdbsupport, gdbserver and gdb, so I think it belongs in gdbsupport. Move it there and update the references the various acinclude.m4 files. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: * warning.m4: Move here, from gdb/warning.m4. * acinclude.m4: Update warning.m4 path. * Makefile.in: Re-generate. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * acinclude.m4: Update warning.m4 path. gdb/ChangeLog: * acinclude: Update warning.m4 path. * warning.m4: Move to gdbsupport.
2020-02-07Move gdbserver to top levelTom Tromey1-0/+58
This patch moves gdbserver to the top level. This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will be done in a separate patch. [v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here. [v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver should be built. [v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary top-level dependencies. [v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a single, shared script. Tested by the buildbot. ChangeLog 2020-02-07 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * src-release.sh (GDB_SUPPORT_DIRS): Add gdbserver. * gdbserver: New directory, moved from gdb/gdbserver. * configure.ac (host_tools): Add gdbserver. Only build gdbserver on certain systems. * Makefile.in, configure: Rebuild. * Makefile.def (host_modules, dependencies): Add gdbserver. * MAINTAINERS: Add gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-02-07 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * README: Update gdbserver documentation. * gdbserver: Move to top level. * configure.tgt (build_gdbserver): Remove. * configure.ac: Remove --enable-gdbserver. * configure: Rebuild. * Makefile.in (distclean): Don't mention gdbserver.
