gdb/python: deallocate tui window factories at Python shut down
The previous commit relied on spotting when a Python defined TUI
window factory was deleted. I spotted that the window factories are
not deleted when GDB shuts down its Python environment, they are only
deleted when one window factory replaces another. Consider this
example Python script:
class TestWindowFactory:
def __init__(self, msg):
self.msg = msg
print("Entering TestWindowFactory.__init__: %s" % self.msg)
def __call__(self, tui_win):
print("Entering TestWindowFactory.__call__: %s" % self.msg)
return TestWindow(tui_win, self.msg)
def __del__(self):
print("Entering TestWindowFactory.__del__: %s" % self.msg)
gdb.register_window_type("test_window", TestWindowFactory("A"))
gdb.register_window_type("test_window", TestWindowFactory("B"))
And this GDB session:
(gdb) source tui.py
Entering TestWindowFactory.__init__: A
Entering TestWindowFactory.__init__: B
Entering TestWindowFactory.__del__: B
(gdb) quit
Notice that when the 'B' window replaces the 'A' window we see the 'A'
object being deleted. But, when Python is shut down (after the
'quit') the 'B' object is never deleted.
Instead, GDB retains a reference to the window factory object, which
forces the Python object to remain live even after the Python
interpreter itself has been shut down.
The references themselves are held in a dynamically allocated
std::unordered_map (in tui/tui-layout.c) which is never deallocated,
thus the underlying Python references are never decremented to zero,
and so GDB never tries to delete these Python objects.
This commit is the first half of the work to clean up this edge case.
All gdbpy_tui_window_maker objects (the objects that implement the
TUI window factory callback for Python defined TUI windows), are now
linked together into a global list using the intrusive list mechanism.
When GDB shuts down the Python interpreter we can now walk this global
list and release the reference that is held to the underlying Python
object. By releasing this reference the Python object will now be
deleted.
I've added a new assert in gdbpy_tui_window_maker::operator(), this
will catch the case where we somehow end up in here after having
reset the reference to the underlying Python object. I don't think
this should ever happen though as we only clear the references when
shutting down the Python interpreter, and the ::operator() function is
only called when trying to apply a new TUI layout - something that
shouldn't happen while GDB itself is shutting down.
This commit does not update the std::unordered_map in tui-layout.c,
that will be done in the next commit.

gdb/python: allow Python TUI windows to be replaced
The documentation for gdb.register_window_type says:
"... It's an error to try to replace one of the built-in windows,
but other window types can be replaced. ..."
I take this to mean that if I imported a Python script like this:
gdb.register_window_type('my_window', FactoryFunction)
Then GDB would have a new TUI window 'my_window', which could be
created by calling FactoryFunction(). If I then, in the same GDB
session imported a script which included:
gdb.register_window_type('my_window', UpdatedFactoryFunction)
Then GDB would replace the old 'my_window' factory with my new one,
GDB would now call UpdatedFactoryFunction().
This is pretty useful in practice, as it allows users to iterate on
their window implementation within a single GDB session.
However, right now, this is not how GDB operates. The second call to
register_window_type is basically ignored and the old window factory
is retained.
This is because in tui_register_window (tui/tui-layout.c) we use
std::unordered_map::emplace to insert the new factory function, and
emplace doesn't replace an existing element in an unordered_map.
In this commit, before the emplace call, I now search for an already
existing element, and delete any matching element from the map, the
emplace call will then add the new factory function.

Fix doc build dependencies for --with-system-readline
PR build/30108 concerns building gdb documentation with
--with-sytem-readline. If the in-tree readline directory is
missing, though, the docs will fail to build:

make[4]: *** No rule to make target '../../../src/gdb/doc/../../readline/readline/doc/rluser.texi', needed by 'gdb.info'. Stop.
The listed file (and hsuser.texi) are conditionally included by gdb.texinfo.
When system readline is used, gdb/configure.ac will leave
READLINE_TEXI_INCFLAGS empty, causing doc/Makefile.in to output a line to
$BUILD/doc/GDBvn.texi with "@set SYSTEM_READLINE". This surpresses the
inclusion of the missing files. They are not needed or used in this
scenario.
However, GDB_DOC_SOURCE_INCLUDES always lists these two files as dependencies,
thus provoking the build error whenever readline/ is missing.
This patch fixes this by creating (essentially) a conditional setting of the

gdb/testsuite: allow_hipcc_tests tests the hipcc compiler
Update allow_hipcc_tests so all gdb.rocm tests are skipped if we do not
have a working hipcc compiler available.
To achieve this, adjust gdb_simple_compile to ensure that the hip
program is saved in a ".cpp" file before calling hipcc otherwise
compilation will fail.
One thing to note is that it is possible to have a hipcc installed with
a CUDA backend. Compiling with this back-end will successfully result
in an application, but GDB cannot debug it (at least for the offload
part). In the context of the gdb.rocm tests, we want to detect such
situation where gdb_simple_compile would give a false positive.
To achieve this, this patch checks that there is at least one AMDGPU
device available and that hipcc can compile for this or those targets.
Detecting the device is done using the rocm_agent_enumerator tool which
is installed with the all ROCm installations (it is used by hipcc to
detect identify targets if this is not specified on the comand line).
This patch also makes the allow_hipcc_tests proc a cached proc.

Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x00007ffff7fc50fd in foo at /tmp/breakpoint-shlib-func-c-lib.c:20
Here's what's happening. When GDB parses the symbols in the main
executable and the shared library we see a number of different symbols
for foo, and use these to create entries in GDB's msymbol table:
- In the main executable we see a symbol 'foo@plt' that points at
the plt entry for foo, from this we add two entries into GDB's
msymbol table, one called 'foo@plt' which points at the plt entry
and has type mst_text, then we create a second symbol, this time
called 'foo' with type mst_solib_trampoline which also points at
the plt entry,
- Then, when the shared library is loaded we see another symbol
called 'foo', this one points at the actual implementation in the
shared library. This time GDB creates a msymbol called 'foo' with
type mst_text that points at the implementation.
This means that GDB creates 3 msymbols to represent the 2 symbols
found in the executable and shared library.
When the user creates a breakpoint on 'foo' GDB eventually ends up in
search_minsyms_for_name (linespec.c), this function then calls
iterate_over_minimal_symbols passing in the name we are looking for
wrapped in a lookup_name_info object.
In iterate_over_minimal_symbols we iterate over two hash tables (using
the name we're looking for as the hash key), first we walk the hash
table of symbol linkage names, then we walk the hash table of
demangled symbol names.
When the language is C++ the symbols for 'foo' will all have been
mangled, as a result, in this case, the iteration of the linkage name
hash table will find no matching results.
However, when we walk the demangled hash table we do find some
results. In order to match symbol names, GDB obtains a symbol name
matching function by calling the get_symbol_name_matcher method on the
language_defn class. For C++, in this case, the matching function we
use is cp_fq_symbol_name_matches, which delegates the work to
strncmp_iw_with_mode with mode strncmp_iw_mode::MATCH_PARAMS and
language set to language_cplus.
The strncmp_iw_mode::MATCH_PARAMS mode means that strncmp_iw_mode will
skip any parameters in the demangled symbol name when checking for a
match, e.g. 'foo' will match the demangled name 'foo()'. The way this
is done is that the strings are matched character by character, but,
once the string we are looking for ('foo' here) is exhausted, if we
are looking at '(' then we consider the match a success.
Lets consider the 3 symbols GDB created. If the function declaration
is 'void foo ()' then from the main executable we added symbols
'_Z3foov@plt' and '_Z3foov', while from the shared library we added
another symbol call '_Z3foov'. When these are demangled they become
'foo()@plt', 'foo()', and 'foo()' respectively.
Now, the '_Z3foov' symbol from the main executable has the type
mst_solib_trampoline, and in search_minsyms_for_name, we search for
any symbols of type mst_solib_trampoline and filter these out of the
results.
However, the '_Z3foov@plt' symbol (from the main executable), and the
'_Z3foov' symbol (from the shared library) both have type mst_text.
During the demangled name matching, due to the use of MATCH_PARAMS
mode, we stop the comparison as soon as we hit a '(' in the demangled
name. And so, '_Z3foov@plt', which demangles to 'foo()@plt' matches
'foo', and '_Z3foov', which demangles to 'foo()' also matches 'foo'.
By contrast, for C, there are no demangled hash table entries to be
iterated over (in iterate_over_minimal_symbols), we only consider the
linkage name symbols which are 'foo@plt' and 'foo'. The plain 'foo'
symbol obviously matches when we are looking for 'foo', but in this
case the 'foo@plt' will not match due to the '@plt' suffix.
And so, when the user asks for a breakpoint in 'foo', and the language
is C, search_minsyms_for_name, returns a single msymbol, the mst_text
symbol for foo in the shared library, while, when the language is C++,
we get two results, '_Z3foov' for the shared library function, and
'_Z3foov@plt' for the plt entry in the main executable.
I propose to fix this in strncmp_iw_with_mode. When the mode is
MATCH_PARAMS, instead of stopping at a '(' and assuming the match is a
success, GDB will instead search forward for the matching, closing,
')', effectively skipping the parameter list, and then resume
matching. Thus, when comparing 'foo' to 'foo()@plt' GDB will
effectively compare against 'foo@plt' (skipping the parameter list),
and the match will fail, just as it does when the language is C.
There is one slight complication, which is revealed by the test
gdb.linespec/cpcompletion.exp, when searching for the symbol of a
const member function, the demangled symbol will have 'const' at the
end of its name, e.g.:
struct_with_const_overload::const_overload_fn() const
Previously, the matching would stop at the '(' character, but after my
change the whole '()' is skipped, and the match resumes. As a result,
the 'const' modifier results in a failure to match, when previously
GDB would have found a match.
To work around this issue, in strncmp_iw_with_mode, when mode is
MATCH_PARAMS, after skipping the parameter list, if the next character
is '@' then we assume we are looking at something like '@plt' and
return a value indicating the match failed, otherwise, we return a
value indicating the match succeeded, this allows things like 'const'
to be skipped.
With these changes in place I now see GDB correctly setting a
breakpoint only at the implementation of 'foo' in the shared library.

gdb: use -1 for breakpoint::task default value
Within the breakpoint struct we have two fields ::thread and ::task
which are used for thread or task specific breakpoints. When a
breakpoint doesn't have a specific thread or task then these fields
have the values -1 and 0 respectively.
There's no particular reason (as far as I can tell) why these two
"default" values are different, and I find the difference a little
confusing. Long term I'd like to potentially fold these two fields
into a single field, but that isn't what this commit does.
What this commit does is switch to using -1 as the "default" value for
both fields, this means that the default for breakpoint::task has
changed from 0 to -1. I've updated all the code I can find that
relied on the value of 0, and I see no test regressions, especially in
gdb.ada/tasks.exp, which still fully passes.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

gdb: only allow one of thread or task on breakpoints or watchpoints
After this mailing list posting:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-February/196607.html
it seems to me that in practice an Ada task maps 1:1 with a GDB
thread, and so it doesn't really make sense to allow uses to give both
a thread and a task within a single breakpoint or watchpoint
condition.
This commit updates GDB so that the user will get an error if both
are specified.
I've added new tests to cover the CLI as well as the Python and Guile
APIs. For the Python and Guile testing, as far as I can tell, this
was the first testing for this corner of the APIs, so I ended up
adding more than just a single test.
For documentation I've added a NEWS entry, but I've not added anything
to the docs themselves. Currently we document the commands with a
thread-id or task-id as distinct command, e.g.:
'break LOCSPEC task TASKNO'
'break LOCSPEC task TASKNO if ...'
'break LOCSPEC thread THREAD-ID'
'break LOCSPEC thread THREAD-ID if ...'
As such, I don't believe there is any indication that combining 'task'
and 'thread' would be expected to work; it seems clear to me in the
above that those four options are all distinct commands.
I think the NEWS entry is enough that if someone is combining these
keywords (it's not clear what the expected behaviour would be in this
case) then they can figure out that this was a deliberate change in
GDB, but for a new user, the manual doesn't suggest combining them is
OK, and any future attempt to combine them will give an error.

I recreated the above crash by a little light hacking on GDB, and then

It is worth acknowledging that without hacking things GDB has a
minimum requirement of readline 7.0. This test is not about checking
whether GDB has been built against an older version of readline, it is
about checking that readline doesn't regress in this area.

gdb: remove unnecessary 'dir' commands from gdb-gdb.gdb script
While debugging GDB I used 'show directories' and spotted lots of
entries that didn't make much sense. Here are all the entries that are
in my directories list:
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../../src/gdb
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../../src/gdb/../bfd
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../../src/gdb/../libiberty
$cdir
$cwd
Notice the second, third, and fourth entries in this list, these
should really be:
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb/../bfd
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb/../libiberty
The problem is because I generally run everything from the top level
build directory, not the gdb/ sub-directory, thus, I start GDB like:
./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory
If run GDB under GDB, then I end up loading the gdb/gdb-gdb.gdb
script, which contains these lines:
dir ../../src/gdb/../libiberty
dir ../../src/gdb/../bfd
dir ../../src/gdb
dir .
These commands only make sense when running within the gdb/
sub-directory.
However, my debugging experience doesn't seem to be degraded at all, I
can still see the GDB source code just fine; which is because the
directory list still contains $cdir.
The build/gdb/gdb-gdb.gdb script is created from the
src/gdb/gdb-gdb.gdb.in template, which includes the automake @srcdir@
markers.
The 'dir' commands have mostly been around since the sourceware
repository was first created, though this commit
67f0714670383a did
reorder some of the 'dir' commands, which would seem to indicate these
commands were important to some people, at some time.
One possible fix would be to replace @srcdir@ with @abs_srcdir@, this
would ensure that the entries added were all valid, no matter the
user's current directory when debugging GDB.
However... I'd like to propose that we instead remove all the extra
directories completely. My hope is that, with more recent tools, the
debug information should allow us to correctly find all of the source
files without having to add any extra 'dir' entries. Obviously,
commit
67f0714670383a does make me a little nervous, but the
gdb-gdb.gdb script isn't something a non-maintainer will be using, so
I think we can afford to be a little more aggressive here. If it
turns out the 'dir' entries are needed then we can add them back, but
actually document why they are needed. Plus, when we add them back we
will use @abs_srcdir@ instead of @srcdir@.

If I manually disable the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder, the "i386 epilogue"
unwinder becomes active and gives the wrong answer, while I'm actually
interested in the result of the dwarf2 unwinder. Of course I can also
manually disable the "i386 epilogue", but I take the fact that I have to do
that as evidence that on amd64, the "i386 epilogue" is not only unnecessary,
but in the way.
Fix this by only adding the i386 unwinders if

GDB: Introduce limited array lengths while printing values
This commit introduces the idea of loading only part of an array in
order to print it, what I call "limited length" arrays.
The motivation behind this work is to make it possible to print slices
of very large arrays, where very large means bigger than
`max-value-size'.
Consider this GDB session with the current GDB:
(gdb) set max-value-size 100
(gdb) p large_1d_array
value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array
value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
notice that the request to print 10 elements still fails, even though 10
elements should be less than the max-value-size. With a patched version
of GDB:
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array
$1 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...}
So now the print has succeeded. It also has loaded `max-value-size'
worth of data into value history, so the recorded value can be accessed
consistently:
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- $1
$2 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...}
(gdb) p $1
$3 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, <unavailable> <repeats 75 times>}
(gdb)
Accesses with other languages work similarly, although for Ada only
C-style [] array element/dimension accesses use history. For both Ada
and Fortran () array element/dimension accesses go straight to the
inferior, bypassing the value history just as with C pointers.

GDB: Only make data actually retrieved into value history available
While it makes sense to allow accessing out-of-bounds elements in the
debuggee and see whatever there might happen to be there in memory (we
are a debugger and not a programming rules enforcement facility and we
want to make people's life easier in chasing bugs), e.g.:
(gdb) print one_hundred[-1]
$1 = 0
(gdb) print one_hundred[100]
$2 = 0
(gdb)
we shouldn't really pretend that we have any meaningful data around
values recorded in history (what these commands really retrieve are
current debuggee memory contents outside the original data accessed,
really confusing in my opinion). Mark values recorded in history as
such then and verify accesses to be in-range for them:
(gdb) print one_hundred[-1]
$1 = <unavailable>
(gdb) print one_hundred[100]
$2 = <unavailable>

GDB: Ignore `max-value-size' setting with value history accesses
We have an inconsistency in value history accesses where array element
accesses cause an error for entries exceeding the currently selected
`max-value-size' setting even where such accesses successfully complete
for elements located in the inferior, e.g.:
(gdb) p/d one
$1 = 0
(gdb) p/d one_hundred
$2 = {0 <repeats 100 times>}
(gdb) p/d one_hundred[99]
$3 = 0
(gdb) set max-value-size 25
(gdb) p/d one_hundred
value requires 100 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb) p/d one_hundred[99]
$7 = 0
(gdb) p/d $2
value requires 100 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb) p/d $2[99]
value requires 100 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb)
According to our documentation the `max-value-size' setting is a safety
guard against allocating an overly large amount of memory. Moreover a
statement in documentation says, concerning this setting, that: "Setting
this variable does not affect values that have already been allocated
within GDB, only future allocations." While in the implementer-speak
the sentence may be unambiguous I think the outside user may well infer
that the setting does not apply to values previously printed.
Therefore rather than just fixing this inconsistency it seems reasonable
to lift the setting for value history accesses, under an implication
that by having been retrieved from the debuggee they have already passed
the safety check. Do it then, by suppressing the value size check in
`value_copy' -- under an observation that if the original value has been
already loaded (i.e. it's not lazy), then it must have previously passed
said check -- making the last two commands succeed:
(gdb) p/d $2
$8 = {0 <repeats 100 times>}
(gdb) p/d $2 [99]
$9 = 0
(gdb)
Expand the testsuite accordingly, covering both value history handling
and the use of `value_copy' by `make_cv_value', used by Python code.

- Later in the frame-printing process (when printing the second
argument), the auto-reinflation mechanism re-creates the user frame
by calling create_new_frame again, creating its own special sentinel
frame again. However, note that the "real" sentinel frame, the
sentinel_frame global, is still nullptr. If the selected frame had
been a regular frame, we would have called get_current_frame at some
point during the reinflation, which would have re-created the "real"
sentinel frame. But it's not the case when reinflating a user frame.
- Deep down the stack, something wants to fill in the unwind stop
reason for frame 0, which requires trying to unwind frame 1. This
leads us to trying to unwind the PC of frame 1:

- AArch64 defines a special "prev register" function,
aarch64_dwarf2_prev_register, to handle unwinding the PC. This
function does
frame_unwind_register_unsigned (this_frame, AARCH64_LR_REGNUM);
- frame_unwind_register_unsigned ultimately creates a lazy register
value, saving the frame id of this_frame->next. this_frame is the
user-created frame, to this_frame->next is the special sentinel frame
we created for it. So the saved ID is the sentinel frame ID.
- When time comes to un-lazify the value, value_fetch_lazy_register
calls frame_find_by_id, to find the frame with the ID we saved.
- frame_find_by_id sees it's the sentinel frame ID, so returns the
sentinel_frame global, which is, if you remember, nullptr.
- We hit the `gdb_assert (next_frame != NULL)` assertion in
value_fetch_lazy_register.
The issues I see here are:
- The ID of the sentinel frame created for the user-created frame is
not distinguishable from the ID of the regular sentinel frame. So
there's no way frame_find_by_id could find the right frame, in
value_fetch_lazy_register.
- Even if they had distinguishable IDs, sentinel frames created for
user frames are not registered anywhere, so there's no easy way
frame_find_by_id could find it.
This patch addresses these two issues:
- Give sentinel frames created for user frames their own distinct IDs
- Register sentinel frames in the frame cache, so they can be found
with frame_find_by_id.
I initially had this split in two patches, but I then found that it was
easier to explain as a single patch.
Rergarding the first part of the change: with this patch, the sentinel
frames created for user frames (in create_new_frame) still have
stack_status == FID_STACK_SENTINEL, but their code_addr and stack_addr
fields are now filled with the addresses used to create the user frame.
This ensures this sentinel frame ID is different from the "target"
sentinel frame ID, as well as any other "user" sentinel frame ID. If
the user tries to create the same frame, with the same addresses,
multiple times, create_sentinel_frame just reuses the existing frame.
So we won't end up with multiple user sentinels with the same ID.
Regular "target" sentinel frames remain with code_addr and stack_addr
unset.
The concrete changes for that part are:
- Remove the sentinel_frame_id constant, since there isn't one
"sentinel frame ID" now. Add the frame_id_build_sentinel function
for building sentinel frame IDs and a is_sentinel_frame_id function
to check if a frame id represents a sentinel frame.
- Replace the sentinel_frame_id check in frame_find_by_id with a
comparison to `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)`. The sentinel_frame
global is meant to contain a reference to the "target" sentinel, so
the one with addresses (0, 0).
- Add stack and code address parameters to create_sentinel_frame, to be
able to create the various types of sentinel frames.
- Adjust get_current_frame to create the regular "target" sentinel.
- Adjust create_new_frame to create a sentinel with the ID specific to
the created user frame.
- Adjust sentinel_frame_prev_register to get the sentinel frame ID from
the frame_info object, since there isn't a single "sentinel frame ID"
now.
- Change get_next_frame_sentinel_okay to check for a
sentinel-frame-id-like frame ID, rather than for sentinel_frame
specifically, since this function could be called with another
sentinel frame (and we would want the assert to catch it).
The rest of the change is about registering the sentinel frame in the
frame cache:
- Change frame_stash_add's assertion to allow sentinel frame levels
(-1).
- Make create_sentinel_frame add the frame to the frame cache.
- Change the "sentinel_frame != NULL" check in reinit_frame_cache for a
check that the frame stash is not empty. The idea is that if we only
have some user-created frames in the cache when reinit_frame_cache is
called, we probably want to emit the frames invalid annotation. The
goal of that check is to avoid unnecessary repeated annotations, I
suppose, so the "frame cache not empty" check should achieve that.
After this change, I think we could theoritically get rid of the
sentienl_frame global. That sentinel frame could always be found by
looking up `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)` in the frame cache.
However, I left the global there to avoid slowing the typical case down
for nothing. I however, noted in its comment that it is an
optimization.
With this fix applied, the gdb.base/frame-view.exp now passes for me on
AArch64. value_of_register_lazy now saves the special sentinel frame ID
in the value, and value_fetch_lazy_register is able to find that
sentinel frame after the frame cache reinit and after the user-created
frame was reinflated.
