2024-02-21gdbsupport: assume that compiler supports ↵Simon Marchi1-2/+0
std::{is_trivially_constructible,is_trivially_copyable} This code was there to support g++ 4, which didn't support std::is_trivially_constructible and std::is_trivially_copyable. Since we now require g++ >= 9, I think it's fair to assume that GDB will always be compiled with a compiler that supports those. Change-Id: Ie7c1649139a2f48bf662cac92d7f3e38fb1f1ba1
2024-01-12Update copyright year range in header of all files managed by GDBAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
This commit is the result of the following actions: - Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to include 2024, - Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the file, - Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright date, - Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've updated them this year to 2024. I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as you spot them.
2023-11-29Remove gdb_static_assertTom Tromey1-8/+8
C++17 makes the second parameter to static_assert optional, so we can remove gdb_static_assert now.

2022-07-25struct packed: Add fallback byte array implementationPedro Alves1-3/+48
Attribute gcc_struct is not implemented in Clang targeting Windows, so add a fallback standard-conforming implementation based on arrays. I ran the testsuite on x86_64 GNU/Linux with this implementation forced, and saw no regressions. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29373 Change-Id: I023315ee03622c59c397bf4affc0b68179c32374
2022-07-25struct packed: Unit tests and more operatorsPedro Alves1-30/+49
For PR gdb/29373, I wrote an alternative implementation of struct packed that uses a gdb_byte array for internal representation, needed for mingw+clang. While adding that, I wrote some unit tests to make sure both implementations behave the same. While at it, I implemented all relational operators. This commit adds said unit tests and relational operators. The alternative gdb_byte array implementation will come next.

2022-07-25struct packed: Use gcc_struct on WindowsPedro Alves1-1/+9
Building GDB on mingw/gcc hosts is currently broken, due to a static assertion failure in gdbsupport/packed.h: In file included from ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/common-defs.h:201, from ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/defs.h:28, from ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:31: ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/packed.h: In instantiation of 'packed<T, Bytes>::packed(T) [with T = dwarf_unit_type; long long unsigned int Bytes = 1]': ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.h:181:74: required from here ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/packed.h:41:40: error: static assertion failed 41 | gdb_static_assert (sizeof (packed) == Bytes); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~ ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h:27:48: note: in definition of macro 'gdb_static_assert' 27 | #define gdb_static_assert(expr) static_assert (expr, "") | ^~~~ ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/packed.h:41:40: note: the comparison reduces to '(4 == 1)' 41 | gdb_static_assert (sizeof (packed) == Bytes); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~ The issue is that mingw gcc defaults to "-mms-bitfields", which affects how bitfields are laid out. We can however tell GCC that we want the regular GCC layout instead using attribute gcc_struct. Attribute gcc_struct is not implemented in "clang -target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu", so that will need a different fix.

2022-07-14[gdb/build] Fix gdb build with gcc 4.8.5Tom de Vries1-0/+2
When building gdb with gcc 4.8.5, we run into: ... In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.8/future:43:0, from gdbsupport/thread-pool.h:30, from gdb/dwarf2/cooked-index.h:33, from gdb/dwarf2/read.h:26, from gdb/dwarf2/abbrev-cache.c:21: /usr/include/c++/4.8/atomic: In instantiation of \ ‘_Tp std::atomic<_Tp>::load(std::memory_order) const [with _Tp = \ packed<dwarf_unit_type, 1ul>; std::memory_order = std::memory_order]’: gdb/dwarf2/read.h:332:44: required from here /usr/include/c++/4.8/atomic:208:13: error: no matching function for call to \ ‘packed<dwarf_unit_type, 1ul>::packed()’ _Tp tmp; ^ ... Fix this by adding the default constructor for packed. Tested on x86_64-linux, with gdb build with gcc 4.8.5.

When building gdb with gcc 4.8.5, we run into problems due to unconditionally using: ... gdb_static_assert (std::is_trivially_copyable<packed>::value); ... in gdbsupport/packed.h. Fix this by guarding the usage with HAVE_IS_TRIVIALLY_COPYABLE. Tested by doing a full gdb build with gcc 4.8.5.
2022-07-12Introduce struct packed templatePedro Alves1-0/+90
When building gdb with -fsanitize=thread and gcc 12, and running test-case gdb.dwarf2/dwz.exp, we run into a few data races. For example, between: ... Write of size 1 at 0x7b200000300e by thread T4: #0 process_psymtab_comp_unit gdb/dwarf2/read.c:6789 (gdb+0x830720) ... and: ... Previous read of size 1 at 0x7b200000300e by main thread: #0 cutu_reader::cutu_reader(dwarf2_per_cu_data*, dwarf2_per_objfile*, \ abbrev_table*, dwarf2_cu*, bool, abbrev_cache*) gdb/dwarf2/read.c:6164 \ (gdb+0x82edab) ... In other words, between: ... this_cu->unit_type = DW_UT_partial; ... and: ... if (this_cu->reading_dwo_directly) ... The problem is that the written fields are part of the same memory location as the read fields, so executing a read and write in different threads is undefined behavour. Making the written fields separate memory locations, like this: ... struct { ENUM_BITFIELD (dwarf_unit_type) unit_type : 8; }; ... fixes it, however that also increases the size of struct dwarf2_per_cu_data, because it introduces padding due to alignment of these new structs, which align on the natural alignment of the specified type of their fields. We can fix that with __attribute__((packed)), like so: struct { ENUM_BITFIELD (dwarf_unit_type) unit_type : 8 __attribute__((packed)); }; but to avoid having to write that in several places and add suitable comments explaining how that concoction works, introduce a new struct packed template that wraps/hides this. Instead of the above, we'll be able to write: packed<dwarf_unit_type, 1> unit_type; Note that we can't change the type of dwarf_unit_type, as that is defined in include/, and shared with other projects, some of those written in C. This patch just adds the struct packed type. Following patches will make use of it. One of those patches will want to wrap a struct packed in an std::atomic, like: std::atomic<std::packed<language, 1>> m_lang; so the new gdbsupport/packed.h header adds some operators to make comparisions between that std::atomic and the type that the wrapped struct packed wraps work, like in: if (m_lang == language_c) It would be possible to implement struct packed without using __attribute__((packed)), by having it store an array of bytes of the appropriate size instead, however that would make it less convenient to debug GDB. The way it's implemented, printing a struct packed variable just prints its field using its natural type, which is particularly useful if the type is an enum. I believe that __attribute__((packed)) is supported by all compilers that are able to build GDB. Even a few BFD headers use on ATTRIBUTE_PACKED on external types: include/coff/external.h: } ATTRIBUTE_PACKED include/coff/external.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED ; include/coff/external.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED ; include/coff/pe.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED ; include/coff/pe.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED; include/elf/external.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED Elf_External_Versym; It is not possible to build GDB with MSVC today, but if it could, that would be one compiler that doesn't support this attribute. However, it supports packing via pragmas, so there's a way to cross that bridge if we ever get to it. I believe any compiler worth its salt supports some way of packing. In any case, the worse that happens without the attribute is that some types become larger than ideal. Regardless, I've added a couple static assertions to catch such compilers in action: /* Ensure size and aligment are what we expect. */ gdb_static_assert (sizeof (packed) == Bytes); gdb_static_assert (alignof (packed) == 1); Change-Id: Ifa94f0a2cebfae5e8f6ddc73265f05e7fd9e1532
