gdb: improve reuse of value contents when fetching array elements
While working on a Python script, which was interacting with a remote
target, I noticed some weird slowness in GDB. In my program I had a
structure something like this:
struct foo_t
{
int array[5];
};
struct foo_t global_foo;
Then in the Python script I was fetching a complete copy of global
foo, like:
val = gdb.parse_and_eval('global_foo')
val.fetch_lazy()
Then I would work with items in foo_t.array, like:
print(val['array'][1])
I called the fetch_lazy method specifically because I knew I was going
to end up accessing almost all of the contents of val, and so I wanted
GDB to do a single remote protocol call to fetch all the contents in
one go, rather than trying to do lazy fetches for a couple of bytes at
a time.
What I observed was that, after the fetch_lazy call, GDB does,
correctly, fetch the entire contents of global_foo, including all of
the contents of array, however, when I access val.array[1], GDB still
goes and fetches the value of this element from the remote target.
What's going on is that in valarith.c, in value_subscript, for C like
languages, we always end up treating the array value as a pointer, and
then doing value_ptradd, and value_ind, the second of these calls
always returns a lazy value.
My guess is that this approach allows us to handle indexing off the
end of an array, when working with zero element arrays, or when
indexing a raw pointer as an array. And, I agree, that in these
cases, where, even when the original value is non-lazy, we still will
not have the content of the array loaded, we should be using the
value_ind approach.
However, for cases where we do have the array contents loaded, and we
do know the bounds of the array, I think we should be using
value_subscripted_rvalue, which is what we use for non C like
languages.
One problem I did run into, exposed by gdb.base/charset.exp, was that
value_subscripted_rvalue stripped typedefs from the element type of
the array, which means the value returned will not have the same type
as an element of the array, but would be the raw, non-typedefed,
type. In charset.exp we got back an 'int' instead of a
'wchar_t' (which is a typedef of 'int'), and this impacts how we print
the value. Removing typedefs from the resulting value just seems
wrong, so I got rid of that, and I don't see any test regressions.
With this change in place, my original Python script is now doing no
additional memory accesses, and its performance increases about 10x!

gdb: make post_startup_inferior a virtual method on inf_ptrace_target
While working on a later patch that required me to understand how GDB
starts up inferiors, I was confused by the
target_ops::post_startup_inferior method.
The post_startup_inferior target function is only called from
inf_ptrace_target::create_inferior.
Part of the target class hierarchy looks like this:
inf_child_target
|
'-- inf_ptrace_target
|
|-- linux_nat_target
|
|-- fbsd_nat_target
|
|-- nbsd_nat_target
|
|-- obsd_nat_target
|
'-- rs6000_nat_target
Every sub-class of inf_ptrace_target, except rs6000_nat_target,
implements ::post_startup_inferior. The rs6000_nat_target picks up
the implementation of ::post_startup_inferior not from
inf_ptrace_target, but from inf_child_target.
No descendent of inf_child_target, outside the inf_ptrace_target
sub-tree, implements ::post_startup_inferior, which isn't really
surprising, as they would never see the method called (remember, the
method is only called from inf_ptrace_target::create_inferior).
What I find confusing is the role inf_child_target plays in
implementing, what is really a helper function for just one of its
descendents.
In this commit I propose that we formally make ::post_startup_inferior
a helper function of inf_ptrace_target. To do this I will remove the
::post_startup_inferior from the target_ops API, and instead make this
a protected, pure virtual function on inf_ptrace_target.
I'll remove the empty implementation of ::post_startup_inferior from
the inf_child_target class, and add a new empty implementation to the
rs6000_nat_target class.
All the other descendents of inf_ptrace_target already provide an
implementation of this method and so don't need to change beyond
making the method protected within their class declarations.
To me, this makes much more sense now. The helper function, which is
only called from within the inf_ptrace_target class, is now a part of
the inf_ptrace_target class.
The only way in which this change is visible to a user is if the user
turns on 'set debug target 1'. With this debug flag on, prior to this
patch the user would see something like:
-> native->post_startup_inferior (...)
<- native->post_startup_inferior (
2588939)
After this patch these lines are no longer present, as the
post_startup_inferior is no longer a top level target method. For me,
this is an acceptable change.

gdb: have mips_nbsd_nat_target inherit from nbsd_nat_target
While working on another patch I had reason to look at
mips-netbsd-nat.c, and noticed that the class mips_nbsd_nat_target

This is a little strange as alpha_bsd_nat_target,

Inherit vax_bsd_nat_target from nbsd_nat_target
I could only find mailing list threads for ppc and sh in the archive ,
and unfortunately, none of the commits has any real detail that might
explain why mips was missed out, the only extra context I could find
was this message:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-March/166853.html
Which says that "proper" OS support is going to be added to
nbsd_nat_target, hence the need to inherit from that class.
My guess is that leaving mips_nbsd_nat_target unchanged was an
oversight, so, in this commit, I propose changing mips_nbsd_nat_target
to inherit from nbsd_nat_target just like all the other nbsd targets.
My motivation for this patch relates to the post_startup_inferior
target method. In a future commit I want to change how this method is
handled. Currently the mips_nbsd_nat_target will pick up the empty
implementation of inf_child_target::post_startup_inferior rather than
the version in netbsd-nat.c. This feels like a bug to me, as surely,
enabling of proc events is something that would need to be done for
all netbsd targets, regardless of architecture.
In my future patch I have a choice then, either (a) add a new, empty
implementation of post_startup_inferior to mips_nbsd_nat_target,
or (b) this commit, have mips_nbsd_nat_target inherit from
nbsd_nat_target. Option (b) seems like the right way to go, hence,
this commit.
I've done absolutely no testing for this change, not even building it,
as that would require at least an environment in which I can x-build
mips-netbsd applications, which I have no idea how to set up.

gdb: only include mips and riscv targets if building with 64-bit bfd
While testing another patch I was trying to build different
configurations of GDB, and, during one test build I ran into a
problem, I configured with `--enable-targets=all
--host=i686-w64-mingw32` and saw this error while linking GDB:
.../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: mips-tdep.o: in function `mips_gdbarch_init':
.../src/gdb/mips-tdep.c:8730: undefined reference to `disassembler_options_mips'
.../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: riscv-tdep.o: in function `riscv_gdbarch_init':
.../src/gdb/riscv-tdep.c:3851: undefined reference to `disassembler_options_riscv'
So the `disassembler_options_mips` and `disassembler_options_riscv`
symbols are missing.
This turns out to be because mips-dis.c and riscv-dis.c, in which
these symbols are defined, are in the TARGET64_LIBOPCODES_CFILES list
in opcodes/Makefile.am, these files are only built when we are
building with a 64-bit bfd.
If we look further, into bfd/Makefile.am, we can see that all the
files matching elf*-riscv.lo are in the BFD64_BACKENDS list, as are
the elf*-mips.lo files, and (I know because I tried), the two
disassemblers do, not surprisingly, depend on features supplied from
libbfd.
So, though we can build most of GDB just fine for riscv and mips with
a 32-bit bfd, if I understand correctly, the final GDB
executable (assuming we could get it to link) would not understand
these architectures at the bfd level, nor would there be any
disassembler available. This sounds like a pretty useless GDB to me.
So, in this commit, I move the riscv and mips targets into GDB's list
of targets that require a 64-bit bfd. After this I can build GDB just
fine with the configure options given above.
This was discussed on the mailing list in a couple of threads:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-December/184365.html
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-November/118498.html
and it is agreed, that it is unfortunate that the 32-bit riscv and
32-bit mips targets require a 64-bit bfd. If in the future this
situation ever changes then it would be expected that some (or all) of
this patch would be reverted. Until then though, this patch allows
GDB to build when configured with --enable-targets=all, and when using
a 32-bit libbfd.

However, it seems like the implementation makes it default to never
print anything. "no-message" is prependend to "args", so if "message"
is not passed, we will always take the path that sets print_fail to 0,
which will silence any failure.
This unfortunately means that tests relying on runto_main won't emit a
FAIL if failing to run to main. And since commit
4dfef5be6812
("gdb/testsuite: make runto_main not pass no-message to runto"), tests
don't emit a FAIL themselves when failing to run to main. This means
that tests failing to run to main just fail silently, and that's bad.
This can be reproduced by hacking gdb.base/template.exp like so:

gdb, gdbserver: detach fork child when detaching from fork parent
While working with pending fork events, I wondered what would happen if
the user detached an inferior while a thread of that inferior had a
pending fork event. What happens with the fork child, which is
ptrace-attached by the GDB process (or by GDBserver), but not known to
the core? Sure enough, neither the core of GDB or the target detach the
child process, so GDB (or GDBserver) just stays ptrace-attached to the
process. The result is that the fork child process is stuck, while you
would expect it to be detached and run.
Make GDBserver detach of fork children it knows about. That is done in
the generic handle_detach function. Since a process_info already exists
for the child, we can simply call detach_inferior on it.
GDB-side, make the linux-nat and remote targets detach of fork children
known because of pending fork events. These pending fork events can be
stored in:
- thread_info::pending_waitstatus, if the core has consumed the event
but then saved it for later (for example, because it got the event
while stopping all threads, to present an all-stop stop on top of a
non-stop target)
- thread_info::pending_follow: if we ran to a "catch fork" and we
detach at that moment
Additionally, pending fork events can be in target-specific fields:
- For linux-nat, they can be in lwp_info::status and
lwp_info::waitstatus.
- For the remote target, they could be stored as pending stop replies,
saved in `remote_state::notif_state::pending_event`, if not
acknowledged yet, or in `remote_state::stop_reply_queue`, if
acknowledged. I followed the model of remove_new_fork_children for
this: call remote_notif_get_pending_events to process /
acknowledge any unacknowledged notification, then look through
stop_reply_queue.
Update the gdb.threads/pending-fork-event.exp test (and rename it to
gdb.threads/pending-fork-event-detach.exp) to try to detach the process
while it is stopped with a pending fork event. In order to verify that
the fork child process is correctly detached and resumes execution
outside of GDB's control, make that process create a file in the test
output directory, and make the test wait $timeout seconds for that file
to appear (it happens instantly if everything goes well).
This test catches a bug in linux-nat.c, also reported as PR 28512
("waitstatus.h:300: internal-error: gdb_signal target_waitstatus::sig()
const: Assertion `m_kind == TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED || m_kind ==
TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED' failed.). When detaching a thread with a
pending event, get_detach_signal unconditionally fetches the signal
stored in the waitstatus (`tp->pending_waitstatus ().sig ()`). However,
that is only valid if the pending event is of type
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, and this is now enforced using assertions (iit
would also be valid for TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED, but that would mean
the thread does not exist anymore, so we wouldn't be detaching it). Add
a condition in get_detach_signal to access the signal number only if the
wait status is of kind TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, and use GDB_SIGNAL_0
instead (since the thread was not stopped with a signal to begin with).
Add another test, gdb.threads/pending-fork-event-ns.exp, specifically to
verify that we consider events in pending stop replies in the remote
target. This test has many threads constantly forking, and we detach
from the program while the program is executing. That gives us some
chance that we detach while a fork stop reply is stored in the remote
target. To verify that we correctly detach all fork children, we ask
the parent to exit by sending it a SIGUSR1 signal and have it write a
file to the filesystem before exiting. Because the parent's main thread
joins the forking threads, and the forking threads wait for their fork
children to exit, if some fork child is not detach by GDB, the parent
will not write the file, and the test will time out. If I remove the
new remote_detach_pid calls in remote.c, the test fails eventually if I
run it in a loop.
There is a known limitation: we don't remove breakpoints from the
children before detaching it. So the children, could hit a trap
instruction after being detached and crash. I know this is wrong, and
it should be fixed, but I would like to handle that later. The current
patch doesn't fix everything, but it's a step in the right direction.

gdb: move clearing of tp->pending_follow to follow_fork_inferior
A following patch will change targets so that when they detach an
inferior, they also detach any pending fork children this inferior may
have. While doing this, I hit a case where we couldn't differentiate
two cases, where in one we should detach the fork detach but not in the
other.
Suppose we continue past a fork with "follow-fork-mode == child" &&
"detach-on-fork on". follow_fork_inferior calls target_detach to detach
the parent. In that case the target should not detach the fork
child, as we'll continue debugging the child. As of now, the
tp->pending_follow field of the thread who called fork still contains
the details about the fork.
Then, suppose we run to a fork catchpoint and the user types "detach".
In that case, the target should detach the fork child in addition to the
parent. In that case as well, the tp->pending_follow field contains
the details about the fork.
To allow targets to differentiate the two cases, clear
tp->pending_follow a bit earlier, when following a fork. Targets will
then see that tp->pending_follow contains TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS, and
won't detach the fork child.
As of this patch, no behavior changes are expected.

[Switching to Thread 965190.965190]
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 560 bytes, got 816 bytes): ... <long series of bytes>
The sequence of events leading to the problem is:
- We are using the all-stop user-visible mode as well as the
synchronous / all-stop variant of the remote protocol
- We have two threads, thread A that we single-step and thread B that
calls fork at the same time
- GDBserver's linux_process_target::wait pulls the "single step
complete SIGTRAP" and the "fork" events from the kernel. It
arbitrarily choses one event to report, it happens to be the
single-step SIGTRAP. The fork stays pending in the thread_info.
- GDBserver send that SIGTRAP as a stop reply to GDB
- While in stop_all_threads, GDB calls update_thread_list, which ends
up querying the remote thread list using qXfer:threads:read.
- In the reply, GDBserver includes the fork child created as a result
of thread B's fork.
- GDB-side, the remote target sees the new PID, calls
remote_notice_new_inferior, which ends up unexpectedly creating a new
inferior, and things go downhill from there.
The problem here is that as long as GDB did not process the fork event,
it should pretend the fork child does not exist. Ultimately, this event
will be reported, we'll go through follow_fork, and that process will be
detached.
The remote target (GDB-side), has some code to remove from the reported
thread list the threads that are the result of forks not processed by
GDB yet. But that only works for fork events that have made their way
to the remote target (GDB-side), but haven't been consumed by the core
yet, so are still lingering as pending stop replies in the remote target
(see remove_new_fork_children in remote.c). But in our case, the fork
event hasn't made its way to the GDB-side remote target. We need to
implement the same kind of logic GDBserver-side: if there exists a
thread / inferior that is the result of a fork event GDBserver hasn't
reported yet, it should exclude that thread / inferior from the reported
thread list.
This was actually discussed a while ago, but not implemented AFAIK:
https://pi.simark.ca/gdb-patches/
1ad9f5a8-d00e-9a26-b0c9-
3f4066af5142@redhat.com/#t
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2016-June/133906.html
Implementation details-wise, the fix for this is all in GDBserver. The
Linux layer of GDBserver already tracks unreported fork parent / child
relationships using the lwp_info::fork_relative, in order to avoid
wildcard actions resuming fork childs unknown to GDB. This information
needs to be made available to the handle_qxfer_threads_worker function,
so it can filter the reported threads. Add a new thread_pending_parent
target function that allows the Linux target to return the parent of an
eventual fork child.
Testing-wise, the test replicates pretty-much the sequence of events
shown above. The setup of the test makes it such that the main thread
is about to fork. We stepi the other thread, so that the step completes
very quickly, in a single event. Meanwhile, the main thread is resumed,
so very likely has time to call fork. This means that the bug may not
reproduce every time (if the main thread does not have time to call
fork), but it will reproduce more often than not. The test fails
without the fix applied on the native-gdbserver and
native-extended-gdbserver boards.
At some point I suspected that which thread called fork and which thread
did the step influenced the order in which the events were reported, and
therefore the reproducibility of the bug. So I made the test try both
combinations: main thread forks while other thread steps, and vice
versa. I'm not sure this is still necessary, but I left it there
anyway. It doesn't hurt to test a few more combinations.

gdb/python: Use tp_init instead of tp_new to setup gdb.Value
The documentation suggests that we implement gdb.Value.__init__,
however, this is not currently true, we really implement
gdb.Value.__new__. This will cause confusion if a user tries to
sub-class gdb.Value. They might write:
class MyVal (gdb.Value):
def __init__ (self, val):
gdb.Value.__init__(self, val)
obj = MyVal(123)
print ("Got: %s" % obj)
But, when they source this code they'll see:
(gdb) source ~/tmp/value-test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/andrew/tmp/value-test.py", line 7, in <module>
obj = MyVal(123)
File "/home/andrew/tmp/value-test.py", line 5, in __init__
gdb.Value.__init__(self, val)
TypeError: object.__init__() takes exactly one argument (the instance to initialize)
(gdb)
The reason for this is that, as we don't implement __init__ for
gdb.Value, Python ends up calling object.__init__ instead, which
doesn't expect any arguments.
The Python docs suggest that the reason why we might take this
approach is because we want gdb.Value to be immutable:
https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/typeobj.html#c.PyTypeObject.tp_new
But I don't see any reason why we should require gdb.Value to be
immutable when other types defined in GDB are not. This current
immutability can be seen in this code:
obj = gdb.Value(1234)
print("Got: %s" % obj)
obj.__init__ (5678)
print("Got: %s" % obj)
Which currently runs without error, but prints:
Got: 1234
Got: 1234
In this commit I propose that we switch to using __init__ to
initialize gdb.Value objects.
This does introduce some additional complexity, during the __init__
call a gdb.Value might already be associated with a gdb value object,
in which case we need to cleanly break that association before
installing the new gdb value object. However, the cost of doing this
is not great, and the benefit - being able to easily sub-class
gdb.Value seems worth it.
After this commit the first example above works without error, while
the second example now prints:
Got: 1234
Got: 5678
In order to make it easier to override the gdb.Value.__init__ method,
I have tweaked the definition of gdb.Value.__init__. The second,
optional argument to __init__ is a gdb.Type, if this argument is not
present then GDB figures out a suitable type.
However, if we want to override the __init__ method in a sub-class,
and still support the default argument, it is easier to write:
class MyVal (gdb.Value):
def __init__ (self, val, type=None):
gdb.Value.__init__(self, val, type)
Currently, passing None for the Type will result in an error:
TypeError: type argument must be a gdb.Type.
After this commit I now allow the type argument to be None, in which
case GDB figures out a suitable type just as if the type had not been
passed at all.
Unless a user is trying to reinitialize a value, or create sub-classes
of gdb.Value, there should be no user visible changes after this
commit.

gdb: use try/catch around a gdb_disassembler::print_insn call
While investigating some disassembler problems I ran into this case;
GDB compiled on a 32-bit arm target, with --enable-targets=all. Then
in GDB:
(gdb) set architecture i386
(gdb) disassemble 0x0,+4
unknown disassembler error (error = -1)
This is interesting because it shows a case where the libopcodes
disassembler is returning -1 without first calling the
memory_error_func callback. Indeed, the return from libopcodes
happens from this code snippet in i386-dis.c in the print_insn
function:
if (address_mode == mode_64bit && sizeof (bfd_vma) < 8)
{
(*info->fprintf_func) (info->stream,
_("64-bit address is disabled"));
return -1;
}
Notice how, prior to the return the disassembler tries to print a
helpful message out, but GDB doesn't print this message.
The reason this message goes missing is the call stack, it looks like
this:
gdb_pretty_print_disassembler::pretty_print_insn
gdb_disassembler::print_insn
gdbarch_print_insn
...
i386-dis.c:print_insn
When i386-dis.c:print_insn returns -1 this is handled in
gdb_disassembler::print_insn, where an exception is thrown. However,
the actual printing of the disassembler output is done in
gdb_pretty_print_disassembler::pretty_print_insn, and is only done if
an exception is not thrown.
In this commit I change this. The pretty_print_insn now uses
try/catch around the call to gdb_disassembler::print_insn, if we catch
an error then we first print any pending output in the instruction
buffer, before rethrowing the exception. As a result, even if an
exception is thrown we still print any pending disassembler output to
the screen; in the above case the helpful message will now be shown.
Before my patch we might expect to see this output:
(gdb) disassemble 0x0,+4
Dump of assembler code from 0x0 to 0x4:
0x0000000000000000: unknown disassembler error (error = -1)
(gdb)
But now we see this:
(gdb) disassemble 0x0,+4
Dump of assembler code from 0x0 to 0x4:
0x0000000000000000: 64-bit address is disabled
unknown disassembler error (error = -1)
If the disassembler returns -1 without printing a helpful message then
we would still expect a change in output, something like:
(gdb) disassemble 0x0,+4
Dump of assembler code from 0x0 to 0x4:
0x0000000000000000:
unknown disassembler error (error = -1)
Which I think is still acceptable, though at this point I think a
strong case can be made that this is a disassembler bug (not printing
anything, but still returning -1).
Notice however, that the error message is always printed on a new line
now. This is also true for the memory error case, where before we
might see this:
(gdb) disassemble 0x0,+4
Dump of assembler code from 0x0 to 0x4:
0x00000000: Cannot access memory at address 0x0
We now get this:
(gdb) disassemble 0x0,+4
Dump of assembler code from 0x0 to 0x4:
0x00000000:
Cannot access memory at address 0x0
For me, I'm happy to accept this change, having the error on a line by
itself, rather than just appended to the end of the previous line,
seems like an improvement, but I'm aware others might feel
differently, so I'd appreciate any feedback.

gdb: make struct linespect contain vectors, not pointers to vectors
struct linespec contains pointers to vectors, instead of containing
vectors directly. This is probably historical, when linespec_parser
(which contains a struct linespec field) was not C++-ified yet. But it
seems easy to change the pointers to vectors to just vectors today.
This simplifies the code, we don't need to manually allocate and delete
the vectors and there's no pointer that can be NULL.
As far as I understand, there was not meaningful distinction between a
NULL pointer to vector and an empty vector. So all NULL checks are
changed for !empty checks.

[gdb/testsuite] Fix options arg handling in compile_jit_elf_main_as_so

80ad340c902 ("[gdb/testsuite] use -Ttext-segment for jit-elf tests")
the following change was made:

proc compile_jit_elf_main_as_so {main_solib_srcfile main_solib_binfile options} {
- set options [concat $options debug]
+ global jit_load_address jit_load_increment

Before the change, the options argument was used, but after the change not
anymore.
Fix this by reverting back to using "set options [concat $options ...]".
Fixing this gets us twice the -DMAIN=jit_dl_main bit, once from a caller, and
once from compile_jit_elf_main_as_so. Fix this by removing the bit from
compile_jit_elf_main_as_so, which makes the code similar to compile_jit_main.

[gdb/testsuite] Use precise align in gdb.arch/i386-{avx,sse}.exp
Test-cases gdb.arch/i386-{avx,sse}.exp use assembly instructions that require
the memory operands to be aligned to a certain boundary, and the test-cases
use C11's _Alignas to make that happen.
The draw-back of using _Alignas is that while it does enforce a minimum
alignment, the actual alignment may be bigger, which makes the following
scenario possible:
- copy say, gdb.arch/i386-avx.c as basis for a new test-case
- run the test-case and observe a PASS
- commit the new test-case in the supposition that the test-case is correct
and well-tested
- run later into a failure on a different test setup (which may be a setup
where reproduction and investigation is more difficult and time-consuming),
and find out that the specified alignment was incorrect and should have been
updated to say, 64 bytes. The initial PASS occurred only because the actual
alignment happened to be greater than required.
The idea of having precise alignment as a means of having more predictable
execution which allows flushing out bugs earlier, has been filed as PR
gcc/103095.
Add a new file lib/precise-aligned-alloc.c with functions
precise_aligned_alloc and precise_aligned_dup, to support precise alignment.
Use precise_aligned_dup in aforementioned test-cases to:
- verify that the specified alignment is indeed sufficient, rather
than too little but accidentally over-aligned.
- prevent the same type of problems in any new test-cases based on these

92228a334ba2 ("gdb: small "maintenance info line-table"

gdb: make extract_integer take an array_view
I think it would make sense for extract_integer, extract_signed_integer
and extract_unsigned_integer to take an array_view. This way, when we
extract an integer, we can validate that we don't overflow the buffer
passed by the caller (e.g. ask to extract a 4-byte integer but pass a
2-byte buffer).
- Change extract_integer to take an array_view
- Add overloads of extract_signed_integer and extract_unsigned_integer
that take array_views. Keep the existing versions so we don't
need to change all callers, but make them call the array_view
versions.
This shortens some places like:
result = extract_unsigned_integer (value_contents (result_val).data (),
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (result_val)),
byte_order);
into
result = extract_unsigned_integer (value_contents (result_val), byte_order);
value_contents returns an array view that is of length
`TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (result_val))` already, so the length is
implicitly communicated through the array view.

gdbsupport: add array_view copy function
An assertion was recently added to array_view::operator[] to ensure we
don't do out of bounds accesses. However, when the array_view is copied
to or from using memcpy, it bypasses that safety.
To address this, add a `copy` free function that copies data from an
array view to another, ensuring that the destination and source array
views have the same size. When copying to or from parts of an
array_view, we are expected to use gdb::array_view::slice, which does
its own bounds check. With all that, any copy operation that goes out
of bounds should be caught by an assertion at runtime.
copy is implemented using std::copy and std::copy_backward, which, at
least on libstdc++, appears to pick memmove when copying trivial data.
So in the end there shouldn't be much difference vs using a bare memcpy,
as we do right now. When copying non-trivial data, std::copy and
std::copy_backward assigns each element in a loop.
To properly support overlapping ranges, we must use std::copy or
std::copy_backward, depending on whether the destination is before the
source or vice-versa. std::copy and std::copy_backward don't support
copying exactly overlapping ranges (where the source range is equal to
the destination range). But in this case, no copy is needed anyway, so
we do nothing.
The order of parameters of the new copy function is based on std::copy
and std::copy_backward, where the source comes before the destination.
Change a few randomly selected spots to use the new function, to show
how it can be used.
Add a test for the new function, testing both with arrays of a trivial
type (int) and of a non-trivial type (foo). Test non-overlapping
ranges as well as three kinds of overlapping ranges: source before dest,
dest before source, and dest == source.

store_waitstatus is basically a translation function between a status

for it to take the integer as a parameter and return the
target_waitstatus by value. Do that, and rename to
host_status_to_waitstatus. Users can then do:
ws = host_status_to_waitstatus (status)

target_waitstatus.
