gdb: catch more errors in gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp
For *reasons* I was looking at gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp. This test
script has a proc 'setup_gdb' that could (potentially) fail. The
setup_gdb proc is called from many places and I, initially, didn't
think that we were checking if setup_gdb had failed or not.
My confusion was because I didn't understand what this tcl construct
did:
return -code return
this will actually act as a return in the context of a proc's caller,
effectively returning two levels of the call stack. Neat (I guess).
So it turns out my worries were misplaced, everywhere setup_gdb is
called, if setup_gdb fails then we will (magically) return.
However, I did spot one place where we managed to confuse ourselves
with our cleverness.
In check_vfork_catchpoints, this proc is called to check that GDB is
able to catch vforks or not. This proc is called early in the test
script, and the intention is that, should this proc fail, we'll mark
the whole test script as unsupported and then move onto the next test
script.
However, check_vfork_catchpoints also uses setup_gdb, and so, if that
call to setup_gdb fails we'll end up returning immediately from
check_vfork_catchpoints, and then continue with the test of _this_
test script, which is not correct.
To fix this I see two choices, one is remove the use of 'return -code
return' from setup_gdb, however, this would require every use of
setup_gdb to then be placed inside:
if { ![setup_gdb] } {
return
}
Or, I can wrap the one call to setup_gdb in check_vfork_catchpoints
and check its return code.
I chose the second option as this is the smaller code change.
There should be no change in what is tested after this commit.

Support NEXT_SECTION in ALIGNOF and SIZEOF
This patch is aimed at making __bss_start properly aligned with the
first of any bss-style sections following. Most of the work here
involves keeping track of the last output section seen when processing
the linker script.
You can almost align __bss_start properly by using
${RELOCATING+. = ALIGN(${DATA_SDATA-${NO_SMALL_DATA-ALIGNOF(.${SBSS_NAME}) != 0 ? ALIGNOF(.${SBSS_NAME}) : }}${BSS_PLT+ALIGNOF(.plt) != 0 ? ALIGNOF(.plt) : }ALIGNOF(.${BSS_NAME}));}
and changing every place that defines NO_SMALL_DATA to use " ", but
having two .plt sections (marked SPECIAL) on some backends foils that
idea. The problem is that you only want to pick up the following
.plt, not the one preceeding __bss_start in the data segment if the
backend decides that is the proper .plt section.
Perhaps that could be fixed too, but I decided instead to extend the

added too.

gdb: defer warnings when loading separate debug files
It was pointed out[1] that the warnings being deferred and then later
emitted lacked styling. The warnings lacked styling before the above
commit, but it was suggested that the filenames in these warnings
should be styled, and this commit does this.
There were a couple of previous attempts[2][3][4] to solve this
problem, but these all tried to extend the mechanism introduced in the
above commit, the deferred warnings were placed directly into a
std::vector, but now we tried to, when appropriate, style these
warnings. The review feedback that this approach looked too complex.
So instead, this revision adds a new helper class 'deferred_warnings'
which can be used to collect a set of deferred warnings, and then emit
these deferred warnings later, if needed. This helper class hides the
complexity, so at the point the deferred warning is created no extra
logic is required.
The deferred_warnings class will style the deferred warnings only if
gdb_stderr supports styling. GDB's warnings are sent to gdb_stderr,
so this should ensure we only style when expected.
There was also review feedback[5] that all of the warnings should be
bundled into a single string_file, this has not been done. I feel
pretty strongly that separate warnings should be emitted using
separate "warning" calls. If we do end up with multiple warnings in
this case they aren't really related, one will be about looking up
debug via .gnu_debuglink, while the other will be about build-id based
lookup. So I'd really rather keep the warnings separate.

entry = translate (tui_border_kind, tui_border_kind_translate_lrcorner);
int val = (entry->value < 0) ? ACS_LRCORNER : entry->value;

gdb/testsuite: Testing with the nvfortran compiler
Currently, the Fortran test suite does not run with NVIDIA's Fortran
compiler (nvfortran).
The goal here is to get the tests running and preventing further
regressions during future work. This change does not do anything to fix
existing failures.
Teach the compiler detection about nvfortran. There is no underlying
information about whether this compiler is related to flang classic or
flang, so we cannot reuse the main and type definitions. Therefore, we
explicitly record the main method and type information observed when
using nvfortran.
The main name was extracted by trying to set breakpoints on both MAIN_
and MAIN__.
The following mapping of test to type names was used to extract how
nvfortran reports types.
info-types.exp: fortran_int4, fortran_int8, fortran_real4,
fortran_logical4
common-block.exp: fortran_real8
complex.exp: fortran_complex4 fortran_complex8
logical.exp: fortran_character1. Ran ptype on "c".
Types defined as fortran_complex16 do not compile with nvfortran, so it
was left unset.
gdb.fortran regression tests run with GNU, Intel, Intel LLVM and ACfL.
No regressions detected.
The gdb.fortran test results with nvfortran 23.3 are as follows.
Before:
# of expected passes 523
# of unexpected failures 107
# of known failures 2
# of unresolved testcases 1
# of untested testcases 7

After:

# of unexpected failures 271
# of known failures 12

Fix result of DAP setExpression
A co-worker, Andry, noticed that the DAP setExpression implementation
returned the wrong fields -- it used "result" rather than "value", and
included "memoryReference", which isn't in the spec (an odd oversight,
IMO).
This patch fixes the problems.

Remove unchecked casts to mi_interp
Simon noticed a crash that could be caused via new Python
gdb.execute_mi function. Looking into this, I found a few unchecked
casts to mi_interp, like:
- struct mi_interp *mi = (struct mi_interp *) command_interp ();
This patch replaces all such casts with safer variants.
For -gdb-exit and mi_load_progress, I chose to have the functions
simply not generate any output. It didn't seem useful to do so.
Some casts I eliminated by adding a parameter to a function. Then, in
mi_execute_command, I changed the code to use
gdb::checked_static_cast. This is appropriate because this particular
overload can only be called by the MI interpreter.
There does not seem to be a very good way to test -gdb-exit.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 36.

gdb: check max-value-size when reading strings for printf
I noticed that the printf code for strings, printf_c_string and
printf_wide_c_string, don't take max-value-size into account, but do
load a complete string from the inferior into a GDB buffer.
As such it would be possible for an badly behaved inferior to cause
GDB to try and allocate an excessively large buffer, potentially
crashing GDB, or at least causing GDB to swap lots, which isn't
great.
We already have a setting to protect against this sort of thing, the
'max-value-size'. So this commit updates the two function mentioned
above to check the max-value-size and give an error if the
max-value-size is exceeded.
If the max-value-size is exceeded, I chose to continue reading
inferior memory to figure out how long the string actually is, we just
don't store the results. The benefit of this is that when we give the
user an error we can tell the user how big the string actually is,
which would allow them to correctly adjust max-value-size, if that's
what they choose to do.
The default for max-value-size is 64k so there should be no user
visible changes after this commit, unless the user was previously
printing very large strings. If that is the case then the user will
now need to increase max-value-size.

gdb: remove last alloca call from printcmd.c
This commit removes the last alloca call from printcmd.c. This is
similar to the patches I originally posted here:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/cover.
1677533215.git.aburgess@redhat.com/
However, this change was not included in that original series.
The original series received push back because it was thought that
replacing alloca with a C++ container type would introduce unnecessary
malloc/free overhead.
However, in this case we are building a string, and (at least for
GCC), the std::string type has a small string optimisation, where
small strings are stored on the stack.
And in this case we are building what will usually be a very small
string, we're just constructing a printf format specifier for a hex
value, so it'll be something like '%#x' -- though it could also have a
width in there too -- but still, it should normally fit within GCCs
small string buffer.
So, in this commit, I propose replacing the use of alloca with a
std::string. This shouldn't result (normally) in any additional
malloc or free calls, so should be similar in performance to the
original approach.
There should be no user visible differences after this commit.

gdb: remove two uses of alloca from printcmd.c
Remove a couple of uses of alloca from printcmd.c, and replace them
with gdb::byte_vector.
An earlier variant of this patch was proposed in this thread:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/cover.
1677533215.git.aburgess@redhat.com/
however, there was push back on that thread due to it adding extra
dynamic allocation, i.e. moving the memory buffers off the stack on to
the heap.
However, of all the patches originally proposed, I think in these two
cases moving off the stack is the correct thing to do. Unlike all the
other patches in the original series, where the data being read
was (mostly) small in size, a register, or a couple of registers, in
this case we are reading an arbitrary string from the inferior. This
could be any size, and so should not be placed on the stack.
So in this commit I replace the use of alloca with std::byte_vector
and simplify the logic a little (I think) to take advantage of the
ability of std::byte_vector to dynamically grow in size.
Of course, really, we should probably be checking the max-value-size
setting as we load the string to stop GDB crashing if a corrupted
inferior causes GDB to try read a stupidly large amount of
memory... but I'm leaving that for a follow on patch.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

gdb: fix printf of wchar_t early in a gdb session
Given this test program:
#include <wchar.h>
const wchar_t wide_str[] = L"wide string";
int
main (void)
{
return 0;
}
I observed this GDB behaviour:
$ gdb -q /tmp/printf-wchar_t
Reading symbols from /tmp/printf-wchar_t...
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40110a: file /tmp/printf-wchar_t.c, line 8.
Starting program: /tmp/printf-wchar_t
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at /tmp/printf-wchar_t.c:8
25 return 0;
(gdb) printf "%ls\n", wide_str
(gdb)
Notice that the printf results in a blank line rather than the
expected 'wide string' output.
I tracked the problem down to printf_wide_c_string (in printcmd.c), in
this function we do this:
struct type *wctype = lookup_typename (current_language,
"wchar_t", NULL, 0);
int wcwidth = wctype->length ();
the problem here is that 'wchar_t' is a typedef. If we look at the
comment on type::length() we see this:
/* Note that if thistype is a TYPEDEF type, you have to call check_typedef.
But check_typedef does set the TYPE_LENGTH of the TYPEDEF type,
so you only have to call check_typedef once. Since value::allocate
calls check_typedef, X->type ()->length () is safe. */
What this means is that after calling lookup_typename we should call
check_typedef in order to ensure that the length of the typedef has
been setup correctly. We are not doing this in printf_wide_c_string,
and so wcwidth is incorrectly calculated as 0. This is what leads GDB
to print an empty string.
We can see in c_string_operation::evaluate (in c-lang.c) an example of
calling check_typedef specifically to fix this exact issue.
Initially I did fix this problem by adding a check_typedef call into
printf_wide_c_string, but then I figured why not move the
check_typedef call up into lookup_typename itself, that feels like it
should be harmless when looking up a non-typedef type, but will avoid
bugs like this when looking up a typedef. So that's what I did.
I can then remove the extra check_typedef call from c-lang.c, I don't
see any other places where we had extra check_typedef calls. This
doesn't mean we definitely had bugs -- so long as we never checked the
length, or, if we knew that check_typedef had already been called,
then we would be fine.
I don't see any test regressions after this change, and my new test
case is now passing.
