This patch proposes to require a C++17 compiler to build gdb /
gdbsupport / gdbserver. Before this patch, GDB required a C++11
compiler.
The general policy regarding bumping C++ language requirement in GDB (as
stated in [1]) is:
Our general policy is to wait until the oldest compiler that
supports C++NN is at least 3 years old.
Rationale: We want to ensure reasonably widespread compiler
availability, to lower barrier of entry to GDB contributions, and to
make it easy for users to easily build new GDB on currently
supported stable distributions themselves. 3 years should be
sufficient for latest stable releases of distributions to include a
compiler for the standard, and/or for new compilers to appear as
easily installable optional packages. Requiring everyone to build a
compiler first before building GDB, which would happen if we
required a too-new compiler, would cause too much inconvenience.
See the policy proposal and discussion
[here](https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00616.html).
The first GCC release which with full C++17 support is GCC-9[2],
released in 2019[3], which is over 4 years ago. Clang has had C++17
support since Clang-5[4] released in 2018[5].
A discussions with many distros showed that a C++17-able compiler is
always available, meaning that this no hard requirement preventing us to
require it going forward.

A user pointed out that the -lsocket check in gdb should also apply to
gdbserver -- otherwise it can't find the Solaris socketpair. This
patch makes the change. It also removes a couple of redundant
function checks from gdb's configure.ac.
This was tested by the person who reported the bug.

GCC recently added support for the Windows thread model, enabling
libstdc++ to support Windows natively. However, this supporrt
requires a version of Windows later than the minimum version that is
supported by GDB.
PR build/29966 points out that the GDB configure test for std::thread
does not work in this situation, because _WIN32_WINNT is not defined
in test program, and so <thread> seems to be fine.
This patch is an attempt to fix the problem, by using the same setting
for _WIN32_WINNT at configure time as is used at build time.
I don't have access to one of the older systems so I don't think I can
truly test this. I did do a mingw cross build, though. I'm going to
ask the bug reporter to test it.

Commit 171fba11ab27 ("Make GDBserver abort on internal error in development mode")
created a new substitution CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES but this is used by
Makefile.in (which is not regenerated by that commit). After regenerating
it, it is found that CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES value is not valid, making
gdbsupport fail to build.
Since the CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES value is used in the Makefile, macro
substitution must have a Makefile format but commit 171fba11ab27 used shell
format "$srcdir/../bfd/development.sh".
This commit fixes this issue by substituting "$srcdir" (shell format) to
"$(srcdir)" (Makefile format). It preserves the dependency as Pedro
intended and fixes the build problem.
It also regenerates corresponding files with the maintainer mode.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Fix config.status dependency.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.

Currently, if GDBserver hits some internal assertion, it exits with
error status, instead of aborting. This makes it harder to debug
GDBserver, as you can't just debug a core file if GDBserver fails an
assertion. I've had to hack the code to make GDBserver abort to debug
something several times before.
I believe the reason it exits instead of aborting, is to prevent
potentially littering the filesystem of smaller embedded targets with
core files. I think I recall Daniel Jacobowitz once saying that many
years ago, but I can't be sure. Anyhow, that seems reasonable to me.
Since we nowadays have a distinction between development and release
modes, I propose to make GDBserver abort on internal error if in
development mode, while keeping the status quo when in release mode.
Thus, after this patch, in development mode, you get:
$ ../gdbserver/gdbserver
../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:3711: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.
captured_main: Assertion `0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
$
while in release mode, you'll continue to get:
$ ../gdbserver/gdbserver
../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:3711: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.
captured_main: Assertion `0' failed.
$ echo $?
1
I do not think that this requires a separate configure switch.
A "--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver" run on Ubuntu 20.04 ends
up with:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of unexpected core files 29
...
for me, of which 8 are GDBserver core dumps, 7 more than without this
patch.

Currently, the configure check for std::thread relies on pthreads
existing. However, this means that if std::thread is implemented for
a non-pthreads host, then the check will yield the wrong answer. This
happened in AdaCore internal builds. Here, we have this GCC patch:
https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2019-06/msg01840.html
... which adds mingw support to GCC's gthreads implementation, and
also to std::thread.
This configure change fixes this problem and enables threading for
gdb.

This pulls out the implementation of an event pipe used to implement
target async support in both linux-low.cc (gdbserver) and linux-nat.c
(gdb).
This will be used to replace the existing event pipe in linux-low.cc

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.

GDB/GDBserver
Add the --enable-threading configure option so multithreading can be disabled
at configure time. This is useful for statically-linked builds of
GDB/GDBserver, since the thread library doesn't play well with that setup.
If you try to run a statically-linked GDB built with threading, it will crash
when setting up the number of worker threads.
This new option is also convenient when debugging GDB in a system with lots of
threads, where the thread discovery code in GDB will emit too many messages,
like so:
[New Thread 0xfffff74d3a50 (LWP 2625599)]
If you have X threads, that message will be repeated X times.
The default for --enable-threading is "yes".

The rhES5 build failed due to an upstream import a while back. The
bug here is that, while the 'personality' function exists,
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE is only defined in <linux/personality.h>, not
<sys/personality.h>.
However, <linux/personality.h> does not declare the 'personality'
function, and <sys/personality.h> and <linux/personality.h> cannot
both be included.
This patch restores one of the removed configure checks and updates
the code to check it.
We had this as a local patch at AdaCore, because it seemed like there
was no interest upstream. However, now it turns out that this fixes
PR build/28555, so I'm sending it now.

The format_pieces selftest currently fails on Windows hosts.
The selftest doesn't handle the "%ll" -> "%I64" rewrite that the
formatter may perform, but also gdbsupport was missing a configure
check for PRINTF_HAS_LONG_LONG. This patch fixes both issues.

Say we use a gcc version that (while supporting c++11) does not support c++11
by default, and needs an -std setting to enable it.
If gdb would use the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive, then
we'd have:
...
CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11"
...
That mechanism however has the following problem (quoting from commit
0bcda685399):
...
the top level Makefile passes CXX down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever
gdb/Makefile may set CXX to. The result would be that a make invocation from
the build/gdb/ directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a
make invocation at the top level would not.
...
Commit 0bcda685399 fixes this by using a custom AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX which
does:
...
CXX=g++
CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11
...
The problem reported in PR28318 is that using the custom instead of the
default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX makes the configure test for std::thread
support fail.
We could simply add $CXX_DIALECT to the test for std::thread support, but
that would have to be repeated for each added c++ support test.
Instead, fix this by doing:
...
CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11"
CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11
...
This is somewhat awkward, since it results in -std=gnu++11 occuring twice in
some situations:
...
$ touch src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c
$ ( cd build/gdb; make V=1 dwarf2/read.o )
g++-4.8 -std=gnu++11 -x c++ -std=gnu++11 ...
...
However, both settings are needed:
- the switch in CXX for the std::thread tests (and other tests)
- the switch in CXX_DIALECT so it can be appended in Makefiles, to
counteract the fact that the top-level Makefile overrides CXX
The code added in gdb/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 is copied from the default
AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

In the gdbsupport configure.ac file, there is an attempt to define
TARGET_WORD_SIZE. This is done by running grep on the file
../bfd/bfd-in3.h.
The problem with this is, the file bfd-in3.h is generated into the bfd
build directory when bfd is configured, and there is no dependency
between the gdbsupport module and the bfd module, so, for example, if
I do:
$ ../src/configure
$ make all-gdbsupport
Then bfd will neither be configured, or built. In this case
TARGET_WORD_SIZE ends up being defined, but with no value because the
grep on bfd-in3.h fails.
However, it turns out that this doesn't matter; we don't actually use
TARGET_WORD_SIZE anywhere.
My proposal in this commit is to just remove the definition of
TARGET_WORD_SIZE, the alternative would be to add a dependency between
configure-gdbsupport and configure-bfd into Makefile.def, but adding a
dependency for something we don't need seems pretty pointless.

configure.ac:40: the top level
Since we build with a C++ compiler now, I don't think this is relevant.
If you look at the messages removed from gdbsupport/aclocal.m4, it says
that this functionality is now integrated in AC_PROG_CC, which we
already call. So it might not even make a difference.

GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on

I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h:
/* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64
or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for
ptrace. Provide one to silence compiler warnings. */
#ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace();
#endif
I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed. First, the
comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had
never even heard of).
But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis
declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C. So if this
declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call
sites pass some arguments. Since we haven't heard anything about this
causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I
conclude that it's not used.
This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ptrace.m4: Don't check for ptrace declaration.
* config.in: Re-generate.
* configure: Re-generate.
* nat/gdb_ptrace.h: Don't declare ptrace if HAVE_DECL_PTRACE is

The same is done for gdb, gdbserver and gdbsupport. I therefore think
it makes sense to move that to GDB_AC_COMMON.
It is required to move the call to GDB_AC_COMMON so it is before
GDB_AC_SELFTEST in gdbserver/configure.ac, otherwise the $development
variable isn't set when the code behind GDB_AC_SELFTEST executes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Don't source bfd/development.sh.
* selftest.m4: Modify comment.
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Don't source bfd/development.sh, move
GDB_AC_COMMON higher.

Before commit 3d1e5a43cbe ("gdbsupport/configure.ac: source
development.sh"), the GDB build in non-development mode (turn
development to false in bfd/development.sh if you want to try) was
broken because the gdbsupport configure script didn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable.
Since the GDB_AC_SELFTEST macro relies on the `development` variable, I
propose to modify it such that it errors out if $development does not
have an expected value of "true" or "false". This could prevent a
future similar problem from happening while refactoring the configure
scripts. It would have caught the problem fixed by the patch mentioned
earlier.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* selftest.m4 (GDB_AC_SELFTEST): Error out if $development is
not "true" or "false".
* configure: Re-generate.

* configure: Re-generate.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.

While compiling with clang, I noticed it didn't catch cases where my
function declaration didn't match my function definition. This is
normally caught by gcc with -Wmissing-declarations.
On clang, this is caught by -Wmissing-prototypes instead.
Note that on gcc, -Wmissing-prototypes also exists, but is only valid
for C and Objective-C. It gets correctly rejected by the configure
script since gcc rejects it with:
cc1plus: error: command line option '-Wmissing-prototypes' is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ -Werror
So this warning flag ends up not used for gcc (which is what we want).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
* warning.m4: Enable -Wmissing-prototypes.

[Commit message by Simon Marchi]
The GDB build in non-development mode (turn development to false in
bfd/development.sh if you want to try) is currently broken:
CXXLD gdb
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/disasm-selftests.c:218: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::register_test_foreach_arch(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, void (*)(gdbarch*))'
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/disasm-selftests.c:220: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::register_test_foreach_arch(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, void (*)(gdbarch*))'
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/frame.c:2310: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::register_test_foreach_arch(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, void (*)(gdbarch*))'
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbarch-selftests.c:168: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::register_test_foreach_arch(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, void (*)(gdbarch*))'
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/selftest.cc:96: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::reset()'
This is because the gdbsupport configure script doesn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable. When $development
is unset, GDB_AC_SELFTEST defaults to enabling selftests. I don't think
the macro was written with this intention in mind, it just happens to be
that way.
So gdbsupport thinks selftests are enabled, while gdb thinks they are
disabled. gdbsupport compiles in code that calls selftests:: functions,
which are normally provided by gdb, but gdb doesn't provide them, hence
the undefined references.
Fix this by sourcing bfd/development.sh in gdbsupport/configure.ac, so
that the development variable is set.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Added call development.sh.
* configure: Regenerate.

GCC's config/ChangeLog since the last time this merge was done
(in the binutils-gdb commit 0b4d000cc4e8e77c823) is included at the
end of this commit message.
It is worth noting that the binutils-gdb commit 301a9420d947da1458
added the file config/debuginfod.m4 which is not present in GCC's
config/ directory. This file is preserved, unmodified, after this
commit.
In order to regenerate all of the configure files, I configured with
--enable-maintainer-mode, and built the 'all' target. I then did the
same thing on a source tree without this patch, and only committed
those files that changed when this patch was added.

I'm seeing this on F27 (a clean build from scratch):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdbsupport'
CC gdb_tilde_expand.o
In file included from /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/src/gdbsupport/../gnulib/import/libc-config.h:33:0,
from ../gnulib/import/glob.h:544,
from /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/src/gdbsupport/gdb_tilde_expand.c:22:
../bfd/config.h:7:4: error: #error config.h must be #included before system headers
# error config.h must be #included before system headers
^~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
libc-config.h, where it includes config.h, says:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/* This is intended to be a good-enough substitute for glibc system
macros like those defined in <sys/cdefs.h>, so that Gnulib code
shared with glibc can do this as the first #include:
#ifndef _LIBC
# include <libc-config.h>
#endif
When compiled as part of glibc this is a no-op; when compiled as
part of Gnulib this includes Gnulib's <config.h> and defines macros
that glibc library code would normally assume. */
#include <config.h>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The issue is that that '#include <config.h>' picks up bfd's config.h
instead of gnulib's.
This problem doesn't trigger in the gdb dir because there we generate
config.h under that exact name so gnulib's libc-config.h ends up
picking gdb's config.h instead of gnulib.c and that ends up harmless.
In gdbsupport, the config.h file is really named support-config.h, so
that '#include <config.h>' in libc-config.h doesn't pick it like it
would if it had the conventional config.h name.
This patch fixes it by simply renaming gdbserver's support-config.h to
config.h.

This moves many needed configure checks from gdb and gdbserver into
common.m4. This helps gdbsupport, nat, and target be self-contained.
The result is a bit spaghetti-ish, because gdbsupport uses another m4
file from gdb/. The resulting code is somewhat non-obvious. However,
these problems already exist, so it's not really that much worse than
what is already done.

This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is
the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top
level.
The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport".
This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into
the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build.
gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its
own build of gdbsupport.
