gdb/breakpoint: set the condition exp after parsing the condition successfully
In 'set_breakpoint_condition', GDB resets the condition expressions
before parsing the condition input by the user. This leads to the
problem of losing the condition expressions if the new condition
does not parse successfully and is thus rejected.
For instance:
$ gdb ./test
Reading symbols from ./test...
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x114e: file test.c, line 4.
Starting program: test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:4
4 int a = 10;
(gdb) break 5
Breakpoint 2 at 0x555555555155: file test.c, line 5.
Now define a condition that would evaluate to false. Next, attempt
to overwrite that with an invalid condition:
(gdb) cond 2 a == 999
(gdb) cond 2 gibberish
No symbol "gibberish" in current context.
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000555555555155 in main at test.c:5
stop only if a == 999
It appears as if the bad condition is successfully rejected. But if we
resume the program, we see that we hit the breakpoint although the condition
would evaluate to false.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, main () at test.c:5
5 a = a + 1; /* break-here */
Fix the problem by not resetting the condition expressions before
parsing the condition input.
Suppose the fix is applied. A similar problem could occur if the
condition is valid, but has "junk" at the end. In this case, parsing
succeeds, but an error is raised immediately after. It is too late,
though; the condition expression is already updated.
For instance:
$ gdb ./test
Reading symbols from ./test...
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x114e: file test.c, line 4.
Starting program: test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:4
4 int a = 10;
(gdb) break 5
Breakpoint 2 at 0x555555555155: file test.c, line 5.
(gdb) cond 2 a == 999
(gdb) cond 2 a == 10 if
Junk at end of expression
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000555555555155 in main at test.c:5
stop only if a == 999
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, main () at test.c:5
5 a = a + 1; /* break-here */
(gdb)
We should not have hit the breakpoint because the condition would
evaluate to false.
Fix this problem by updating the condition expression of the breakpoint
after parsing the input successfully and checking that there is no
remaining junk.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-07-30 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_condition): Update the condition
expressions after checking that the input condition string parses
successfully and does not contain junk at the end.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2020-07-30 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>
* gdb.base/condbreak-bad.exp: Extend the test with scenarios
that attempt to overwrite an existing condition with a condition
that fails parsing and also with a condition that parses fine
but contains junk at the end.
