[gdb] Make execute_command_to_string return string on throw
The pattern for using execute_command_to_string is:
...
std::string output;
output = execute_fn_to_string (fn, term_out);
...
This results in a problem when using it in a try/catch:
...
try
{
output = execute_fn_to_string (fn, term_out)
}
catch (const gdb_exception &e)
{
/* Use output. */
}
...
If an expection was thrown during execute_fn_to_string, then the output
remains unassigned, while it could be worthwhile to known what output was
generated by gdb before the expection was thrown.
Fix this by returning the string using a parameter instead:
...
execute_fn_to_string (output, fn, term_out)
...
Also add a variant without string parameter, to support places where the
function is used while ignoring the result:
...
execute_fn_to_string (fn, term_out)

[gdb/testsuite] Add check-readmore
Consider the gdb output:
...
27 return SYSCALL_CANCEL (nanosleep, requested_time, remaining);^M
(gdb) ^M
Thread 2 "run-attach-whil" stopped.^M
...
When trying to match the gdb prompt using gdb_test which uses '$gdb_prompt $',
it may pass or fail.
This sort of thing needs to be fixed (see commit
b0e2f96b56b), but there's
currently no way to reliably find this type of FAILs.
We have check-read1, but that one actually make the test pass reliably.
We need something like the opposite of check-read1: something that makes
expect read a bit slower, or more exhaustively.
Add a new test target check-readmore that implements this.
There are two methods of implementing this in read1.c:
- the first method waits a bit before doing a read
- the second method does a read and then decides whether to
return or to wait a bit and do another read, and so on.
The second method is potentially faster, has less risc of timeout and could
potentially detect more problems. The first method has a simpler
implementation.
The second method is enabled by default. The default waiting period is 10
miliseconds.
The first method can be enabled using:
...
$ export READMORE_METHOD=1
...
and the waiting period can be specified in miliseconds using:
...
$ export READMORE_SLEEP=9
...
Also a log file can be specified using:
...
$ export READMORE_LOG=$(pwd -P)/LOG
...
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Testing with check-readmore showed these regressions:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp: run: stop with control-c (continue)
FAIL: gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp: attach: stop with control-c (continue)
...
I have not been able to find a problem in the test-case, and I think it's the
nature of both the test-case and readmore that makes it run longer. Make
these pass by increasing the alarm timeout from 60 to 120 seconds.

gdb: add accessors for field (and call site) location
Add accessors for the various location values in struct field. This
lets us assert that when we get a location value of a certain kind (say,
bitpos), the field's location indeed contains a value of that kind.
Remove the SET_FIELD_* macros, instead use the new setters directly.
Update the FIELD_* macros used to access field locations to go through
the getters. They will be removed in a subsequent patch.
There are places where the FIELD_* macros are used on call_site_target
structures, because it contains members of the same name (loc_kind and
loc). For now, I have replicated the getters/setters in
call_site_target. But we could perhaps eventually factor them in a
"location" structure that can be used at both places.
Note that the field structure, being zero-initialized, defaults to a
bitpos location with value 0. While writing this patch, I tried to make
it default to an "unset" location, to catch places where we would miss
setting a field's location. However, I found that some places relied on
the default being "bitpos 0", so I left it as-is. This change could
always be done as follow-up work, making these places explicitly set the
"bitpos 0" location.
I found two issues to fix:
- I got some failures in the gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp
test. They were caused by two functions in amd64-tdep.c using
TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS before checking if the location is of the bitpos
kind, which they do indirectly through `field_is_static`. Simply
move getting the bitpos below the field_is_static call.
- I got a failure in gdb.xml/tdesc-regs.exp. It turns out that in
make_gdb_type_enum, we set enum field values using SET_FIELD_BITPOS,
and later access them through FIELD_ENUMVAL. Fix that by using
set_loc_enumval to set the value.

PR28423, use-after-free in objdump
XCOFF archives use a bi-directional linked list for file members. So
one member points to both the previous member and the next member.
Members may not be sequentially ordered in the file. This of course
is over-engineered nonsense and an attractive target for fuzzers.
(There is even a free list of members!) The testcase in PR28423 is an
XCOFF archive with one member pointing to itself, which results in
lots of bad behaviour. For example, "ar t" never terminates.
The use-after-free with "objdump -r" happens like this: The first
archive element is opened, its symbols are read and "canonicalized"
for objdump, then relocations are read and printed. Those relocations
use the canonicalized symbols, and also happen to be cached by the
coff bfd backend support. objdump frees the symbols. The next
archive element is then opened. This must be done before the first
element is closed, because finding the next element uses data held in
the currect element. Unfortunately the next element happens to be the
original, so we aren't opening, we're reopening a bfd which has cached
data. When the relocations are printed they use the cached copy
containing references to the freed canonical symbols.
This patch adds a little sanity checking to the XCOFF "open next
archive file" support, so that it rejects archive members pointing at
themselves. That is sufficient to cure this problem. Anything more
is overkill. If someone deliberately fuzzes an XCOFF archive with an
element loop then reports an "ar" bug when it runs forever, they will
find their bug report closed WONTFIX.

This results in some silly behaviour in load_debug_section, and
dump_dwarf_section. Fix that. Note that this patch doesn't correct
the main complaint in PR28401, "failed to allocate", since malloc
failures on sections having huge bogus sizes are to be expected. We
can't safely catch all such cases by comparing with file size, for
example, where sections contain compressed data.

empty name sections.

[gdb/testsuite] Make tui testing less verbose
Currently, tui testing is rather verbose. When using these RUNTESTFLAGS to
pick up all tui tests (17 in total):
...
rtf=$(echo $(cd src/gdb/testsuite/; find gdb.* -type f -name *.exp* \
| xargs grep -l tuiterm_env) )
...
we have:
...
$ wc -l gdb.log
120592 gdb.log
...
Most of the output is related to controlling the tui screen, but that does
not give a top-level sense of how the test-case progresses.
Put differently: a lot of bandwith is used to describe how we arrive at a
certain tui screen state. But we don't actually always show the state we
arrive at, unless there's a FAIL.
And if there's say, a PASS that should actually be FAILing, it's hard to
detect.
Fix this by:
- dropping the -log on the call to verbose in _log. We still can get the
same info back using runtest -v.
- dumping the screen or box that we're checking, also when the test passes.
Brings down verbosity to something more reasonable:
...
$ wc -l gdb.log
3221 gdb.log

gdb: Remove deprecated assertion in setting::get
The commit
702991711a91bd47b209289562843a11e7009396 (gdb: Have setter
and getter callbacks for settings) makes it possible for a setting not
to be backed by a memory buffer but use callback functions instead to
retrieve or set the setting's value.
An assertion was not properly updated to take into account that the
m_var member (which points to a memory buffer, if used) might be nullptr
if the setting uses callback functions. If the setting is backed by a
memory buffer, the m_var has to be non nullptr, which is already checked
before the pointer is dereferenced.
This commit removes this assertion as it is not valid anymore.

gdb/python: fix memory leak in python inferior code
When a user creates a gdb.Inferior object for the first time a new
Python object is created. This object is then cached within GDB's
inferior object using the registry mechanism (see
inferior_to_inferior_object in py-inferior.c, specifically the calls
to inferior_data and set_inferior_data).
The Python Reference to the gdb.Inferior object held within the real
inferior object ensures that the reference count on the Python
gdb.Inferior object never reaches zero while the GDB inferior object
continues to exist.
At the same time, the gdb.Inferior object maintains a C++ pointer back
to GDB's real inferior object. We therefore end up with a system that
looks like this:
Python Reference
|
|
.----------. | .--------------.
| |------------------->| |
| inferior | | gdb.Inferior |
| |<-------------------| |
'----------' | '--------------'
|
|
C++ Pointer
When GDB's inferior object is deleted (say the inferior exits) then
py_free_inferior is called (thanks to the registry system), this
function looks up the Python gdb.Inferior object and sets the C++
pointer to nullptr and finally reduces the reference count on the
Python gdb.Inferior object.
If at this point the user still holds a reference to the Python
gdb.Inferior object then nothing happens. However, the gdb.Inferior
object is now in the non-valid state (see infpy_is_valid in
py-inferior.c), but otherwise, everything is fine.
However, if there are no further references to the Python gdb.Inferior
object, or, once the user has given up all their references to the
gdb.Inferior object, then infpy_dealloc is called.
This function currently checks to see if the inferior pointer within
the gdb.Inferior object is nullptr or not. If the pointer is nullptr
then infpy_dealloc immediately returns.
Only when the inferior point in the gdb.Inferior is not nullptr do
we (a) set the gdb.Inferior reference inside GDB's inferior to
nullptr, and (b) call the underlying Python tp_free function.
There are a number things wrong here:
1. The Python gdb.Inferior reference within GDB's inferior object
holds a reference count, thus, setting this reference to nullptr
without first decrementing the reference count would leak a
reference, however...
2. As GDB's inferior holds a reference then infpy_dealloc will never
be called until GDB's inferior object is deleted. Deleting a GDB
inferior ohject calls py_free_inferior, and so gives up the
reference. At this point there is no longer a need to call
set_inferior_data to set the field back to NULL, that field must
have been cleared in order to get the reference count to zero, which
means...
3. If we know that py_free_inferior must be called before
infpy_dealloc, then we know that the inferior pointer in
gdb.Inferior will always be nullptr when infpy_dealloc is called,
this means that the call to the underlying tp_free function will
always be skipped. Skipping this call will cause Python to leak the
memory associated with the gdb.Inferior object, which is what we
currently always do.
Given all of the above, I assert that the C++ pointer within
gdb.Inferior will always be nullptr when infpy_dealloc is called.
That's what this patch does.
I wrote a test for this issue making use of Pythons tracemalloc
module, which allows us to spot this memory leak.

gdb/python: add a new gdb_exiting event
Add a new event, gdb.events.gdb_exiting, which is called once GDB

This event is not triggered in the case that GDB performs a hard
abort, for example, when handling an internal error and the user
decides to quit the debug session, or if GDB hits an unexpected,
fatal, signal.
This event is triggered if the user just types 'quit' at the command
prompt, or if GDB is run with '-batch' and has processed all of the
required commands.
The new event type is gdb.GdbExitingEvent, and it has a single
attribute exit_code, which is the value that GDB is about to exit
with.
The event is triggered before GDB starts dismantling any of its own
internal state, so, my expectation is that most Python calls should
work just fine at this point.
When considering this functionality I wondered about using the
'atexit' Python module. However, this is triggered when the Python
environment is shut down, which is done from a final cleanup. At
this point we don't know for sure what other GDB state has already

[gdb/build] Add CXX_DIALECT to CXX
Say we use a gcc version that (while supporting c++11) does not support c++11
by default, and needs an -std setting to enable it.
If gdb would use the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive, then
we'd have:
...
CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11"
...
That mechanism however has the following problem (quoting from commit
0bcda685399):
...
the top level Makefile passes CXX down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever
gdb/Makefile may set CXX to. The result would be that a make invocation from
the build/gdb/ directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a
make invocation at the top level would not.
...
Commit
0bcda685399 fixes this by using a custom AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX which
does:
...
CXX=g++
CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11
...
The problem reported in PR28318 is that using the custom instead of the
default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX makes the configure test for std::thread
support fail.
We could simply add $CXX_DIALECT to the test for std::thread support, but
that would have to be repeated for each added c++ support test.
Instead, fix this by doing:
...
CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11"
CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11
...
This is somewhat awkward, since it results in -std=gnu++11 occuring twice in
some situations:
...
$ touch src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c
$ ( cd build/gdb; make V=1 dwarf2/read.o )
g++-4.8 -std=gnu++11 -x c++ -std=gnu++11 ...
...
However, both settings are needed:
- the switch in CXX for the std::thread tests (and other tests)
- the switch in CXX_DIALECT so it can be appended in Makefiles, to
counteract the fact that the top-level Makefile overrides CXX
The code added in gdb/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 is copied from the default
AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive.

So, what explains the difference? Noteworthy, this is a dwarf assembly
test-case, with debug info for foo and bar, but not for main.
In the first case:
- we run to main
- this does not trigger expanding debug info, because there's none for main
- we set a breakpoint at foo
- this triggers expanding debug info. Relocated addresses are used in
call_site info (because the exec is started)
- we continue to foo, and manage to find the call_site info
In the second case:
- we set a breakpoint at foo
- this triggers expanding debug info. Unrelocated addresses are used in
call_site info (because the exec is not started)
- we run to foo
- this triggers objfile_relocate1, but it doesn't update the call_site
info addresses
- we don't manage to find the call_site info
We could fix this by adding the missing call_site relocation in
objfile_relocate1.
This solution however is counter-trend in the sense that we're trying to
work towards the situation where when starting two instances of an executable,
we need only one instance of debug information, implying the use of
unrelocated addresses.
So, fix this instead by using unrelocated addresses in call_site info.

TARGET_WORD_SIZE ends up being defined, but with no value because the

gdb: Setting setter return a bool to tell if the value changed
GDB can notify observers when a parameter is changed.
To do that, do_set_command (in gdb/cli/cli-setshow.c) compares the new

observers. This looks like something like:
int valuechanged = 0;

}
This comparison is done for each possible var_type, which leads to
unnecessary logic duplication.
In this patch I propose to move all those checks in one place within the
setting setter method. This limits the code duplication and simplifies
the do_set_command implementation.
This patch also changes slightly the way a value change is detected.
Instead of comparing the user provided value against the current value
of the setting, we compare the value of the setting before and after the
set operation. This is meant to handle edge cases where trying to set
an unrecognized value would be equivalent to a noop (the actual value
remains unchanged). Doing this requires that the original value needs
to be copied before the update, which can be non trivial for
std::string.
There should be no user visible change introduced by this commit.

gdb: Have setter and getter callbacks for settings
The main motivation behind this improvement is to help the
implementation of a patch Simon Marchi is preparing to fix a bug when
MI or Python try to access parameters that are inferior dependent (see
PR/28085).
This commit extends the previous ones, which introduces the setting
object to represent a static variable whose value can be set or shown
with the appropriate commands. This patch proposes that a setting can
either contain a pointer to a static variable holding a setting, or
pointers to a pair of setter and getter callback functions.
The callbacks functions can be used to retrieve or change the value with
custom logic. This is useful when the source of truth for a given
setting is not contained in the variable pointed to by the setting
instance.
Given that the callback function call is hidden within the setting
abstraction introduced earlier, none of the sites accessing the setting
needs to be updated. The registered getter or setter is used whatever
the way to access it is (through MI, Python, Guile, the "with" command
and the $_gdb_setting / $_gdb_setting_str convenience functions).
All the add_setshow_*_cmd are given a new overload that will accept the
pair of function pointers (set / get functions) instead of the pointer
to a global variable.

gdb: make string-like set show commands use std::string variable
String-like settings (var_string, var_filename, var_optional_filename,
var_string_noescape) currently take a pointer to a `char *` storage
variable (typically global) that holds the setting's value. I'd like to
"mordernize" this by changing them to use an std::string for storage.
An obvious reason is that string operations on std::string are often
easier to write than with C strings. And they avoid having to do any
manual memory management.
Another interesting reason is that, with `char *`, nullptr and an empty
string often both have the same meaning of "no value". String settings
are initially nullptr (unless initialized otherwise). But when doing
"set foo" (where `foo` is a string setting), the setting now points to
an empty string. For example, solib_search_path is nullptr at startup,
but points to an empty string after doing "set solib-search-path". This
leads to some code that needs to check for both to check for "no value".
Or some code that converts back and forth between NULL and "" when
getting or setting the value. I find this very error-prone, because it
is very easy to forget one or the other. With std::string, we at least
know that the variable is not "NULL". There is only one way of
representing an empty string setting, that is with an empty string.
I was wondering whether the distinction between NULL and "" would be
important for some setting, but it doesn't seem so. If that ever
happens, it would be more C++-y and self-descriptive to use
optional<string> anyway.
Actually, there's one spot where this distinction mattered, it's in
init_history, for the test gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp. init_history
sets the history filename to the default ".gdb_history" if it sees that
the setting was never set - if history_filename is nullptr. If
history_filename is an empty string, it means the setting was explicitly
cleared, so it leaves it as-is. With the change to std::string, this
distinction doesn't exist anymore. This can be fixed by moving the code
that chooses a good default value for history_filename to
_initialize_top. This is ran before -ex commands are processed, so an
-ex command can then clear that value if needed (what
gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp tests).
Another small improvement, in my opinion is that we can now easily
give string parameters initial values, by simply initializing the global
variables, instead of xstrdup-ing it in the _initialize function.
In Python and Guile, when registering a string-like parameter, we
allocate (with new) an std::string that is owned by the param_smob (in
Guile) and the parmpy_object (in Python) objects.
This patch started by changing all relevant add_setshow_* commands to
take an `std::string *` instead of a `char **` and fixing everything
that failed to build. That includes of course all string setting
variable and their uses.
string_option_def now uses an std::string also, because there's a
connection between options and settings (see
add_setshow_cmds_for_options).
The add_path function in source.c is really complex and twisted, I'd
rather not try to change it to work on an std::string right now.
Instead, I added an overload that copies the std:string to a `char *`
and back. This means more copying, but this is not used in a hot path
at all, so I think it is acceptable.

gdb: Introduce setting construct within cmd_list_element
cmd_list_element can contain a pointer to data that can be set and / or
shown. This is achieved with the void* VAR member which points to the
data that can be accessed, while the VAR_TYPE member (of type enum
var_types) indicates how to interpret the data pointed to.
With this pattern, the user of the cmd_list_element needs to know what
is the storage type associated with a given VAR_TYPES in order to do
the proper casting. No automatic safeguard is available to prevent
miss-use of the pointer. Client code typically looks something like:
switch (c->var_type)
{
case var_zuinteger:
unsigned int v = *(unsigned int*) c->var;
...
break;
case var_boolean:
bool v = *(bool *) c->var;
...
break;
...
}
This patch proposes to add an abstraction around the var_types and void*
pointer pair. The abstraction is meant to prevent the user from having
to handle the cast and verify that the data is read or written as a type
that is coherent with the setting's var_type. This is achieved by
introducing the struct setting which exposes a set of templated get /
set member functions. The template parameter is the type of the
variable that holds the referred variable.
Using those accessors allows runtime checks to be inserted in order to
ensure that the data pointed to has the expected type. For example,
instantiating the member functions with bool will yield something
similar to:
const bool &get<bool> () const
{
gdb_assert (m_var_type == var_boolean);
gdb_assert (m_var != nullptr);
return *static_cast<bool *> (m_var);
}
void set<bool> (const bool &var)
{
gdb_assert (m_var_type == var_boolean);
gdb_assert (m_var != nullptr);
*static_cast<bool *> (m_var) = var;
}
Using the new abstraction, our initial example becomes:
switch (c->var_type)
{
case var_zuinteger:
unsigned int v = c->var->get<unsigned int> ();
...
break;
case var_boolean:
bool v = c->var->get<bool> ();
...
break;
...
}
While the call site is still similar, the introduction of runtime checks
help ensure correct usage of the data.
In order to avoid turning the bulk of add_setshow_cmd_full into a
templated function, and following a suggestion from Pedro Alves, a
setting can be constructed from a pre validated type erased reference to
a variable. This is what setting::erased_args is used for.
Introducing an opaque abstraction to describe a setting will also make
it possible to use callbacks to retrieve or set the value of the setting
on the fly instead of pointing to a static chunk of memory. This will
be done added in a later commit.
Given that a cmd_list_element may or may not reference a setting, the
VAR and VAR_TYPES members of the struct are replaced with a
gdb::optional<setting> named VAR.
Few internal function signatures have been modified to take into account
this new abstraction:
-The functions value_from_setting, str_value_from_setting and
get_setshow_command_value_string used to have a 'cmd_list_element *'
parameter but only used it for the VAR and VAR_TYPE member. They now
take a 'const setting &' parameter instead.
- Similarly, the 'void *' and a 'enum var_types' parameters of
pascm_param_value and gdbpy_parameter_value have been replaced with a
'const setting &' parameter.
No user visible change is expected after this patch.
Tested on GNU/Linux x86_64, with no regression noticed.

sim: filter out SIGSTKSZ [PR sim/28302]
We map target signals to host signals so we can propagate signals
between the host & simulated worlds. That means we need to know
the symbolic names & values of all signals that might be sent.
The tools that generate that list use signal.h and include all
symbols that start with "SIG" so as to automatically include any
new symbols that the C library might add. Unfortunately, this
also picks up "SIGSTKSZ" which is not actually a signal itself,
but a signal related setting -- it's the size of the stack when
a signal is handled.
By itself this doesn't super matter as we will never see a signal
with that same value (since the range of valid signals tend to be
way less than 1024, and the size of the default signal stack will
never be that small). But with recent glibc changes that make this
into a dynamic value instead of a compile-time constant, some users
see build failures when building the sim.
As suggested by Adam Sampson, update our scripts to ignore this
symbol to simplify everything and avoid the build failure.

gdb/testsuite/dwarf: don't define nested procs for rnglists/loclists
When I wrote support for rnglists and loclists in the testsuite's DWARF
assembler, I made it with nested procs, for example proc "table" inside
proc "rnglists". The intention was that this proc "table" could only be
used by the user while inside proc "rnglists"'s body. I had chosen very
simple names, thinking there was no chance of name clashes. I recently
learned that this is not how TCL works. This ends up defining a proc
"table" in the current namespace ("Dwarf" in this case).
Things still work if you generate rnglists and loclists in the same
file, as each redefines its own procedures when executing. But if a
user of the assembler happened to define a convenience "table" or
"start_end" procedure, for example, it would get overriden.
I'd like to change how this works to reduce the chances of a name clash.
- Move the procs out of each other, so they are not defined in a nested
fashion.
- Prefix them with "_rnglists_" or "_loclists_".
- While calling $body in the various procs, temporarily make the procs
available under their "short" name. For example, while in rngllists'
body, make _rnglists_table available as just "table". This allows
existing code to keep working and keeps it not too verbose.
- Modify with_override to allow the overriden proc to not exist. In
that case, the temporary proc is deleted on exit.
Note the non-conforming indentation when calling with_override in
_loclists_list. This is on purpose: as we implement more loclists (and
rnglists) entry types, the indentation would otherwise get larger and
larger without much value for readability. So I think it's reasonable
here to put them on the same level.

board unix/-bad, I get:
...
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-bad'^M
compiler exited with status 1
gdb compile failed, gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-bad'
FAIL: gdb.debuginfod/fetch_src_and_symbols.exp: compile
...
Replace the FAIL with the usual:
...
UNTESTED: gdb.debuginfod/fetch_src_and_symbols.exp: failed to compile
...

[gdb/testsuite] Prepare nodebug exec in gdb.base/cvexpr.exp

This is triggered in a part of the test that claims to require no debug
information, but uses the exec containing either dwarf or ctf.
Fix this by preparing another executable compiled with nodebug, and using
that one instead.
Also use with_test_prefix to mark the nodebug part, such that we have:
...
gdb compile failed, gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-bad'
UNTESTED: gdb.base/cvexpr.exp: dwarf: failed to prepare
gdb compile failed, gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-bad'
