From 1e6205909c46fc810daa27f696773c6d30a4de85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tankut Baris Aktemur Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2020 19:23:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gdb/breakpoint: do not update the condition string if parsing the condition fails The condition of a breakpoint can be set with the 'cond' command. If the condition has errors that make it problematic to evaluate, it appears like GDB rejects the condition, but updates the breakpoint's condition string, which causes incorrect/unintuitive behavior. For instance: $ gdb ./test Reading symbols from ./test... (gdb) break 5 Breakpoint 1 at 0x1155: file test.c, line 5. (gdb) cond 1 gibberish No symbol "gibberish" in current context. At this point, it looks like the condition was rejected. But "info breakpoints" shows the following: (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000001155 in main at test.c:5 stop only if gibberish Running the code gives the following behavior, where re-insertion of the breakpoint causes failures. (gdb) run Starting program: test warning: failed to reevaluate condition for breakpoint 1: No symbol "gibberish" in current context. warning: failed to reevaluate condition for breakpoint 1: No symbol "gibberish" in current context. warning: failed to reevaluate condition for breakpoint 1: No symbol "gibberish" in current context. warning: failed to reevaluate condition for breakpoint 1: No symbol "gibberish" in current context. warning: failed to reevaluate condition for breakpoint 1: No symbol "gibberish" in current context. [Inferior 1 (process 19084) exited normally] (gdb) This broken behavior occurs because GDB updates the condition string of the breakpoint *before* checking that it parses successfully. When parsing fails, the update has already taken place. Fix the problem by updating the condition string *after* parsing the condition. We get the following behavior when this patch is applied: $ gdb ./test Reading symbols from ./test... (gdb) break 5 Breakpoint 1 at 0x1155: file test.c, line 5. (gdb) cond 1 gibberish No symbol "gibberish" in current context. (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000001155 in main at test.c:5 (gdb) run Starting program: test Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5 5 a = a + 1; /* break-here */ (gdb) c Continuing. [Inferior 1 (process 15574) exited normally] (gdb) A side note: The problem does not occur if the condition is given at the time of breakpoint definition, as in "break 5 if gibberish", because the parsing of the condition fails during symtab-and-line creation, before the breakpoint is created. Finally, the code included the following comment: /* I don't know if it matters whether this is the string the user typed in or the decompiled expression. */ This comment did not make sense to me because the condition string is the user-typed input. The patch updates this comment, too. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-07-30 Tankut Baris Aktemur * breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_condition): Update the condition string after parsing the new condition successfully. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2020-07-30 Tankut Baris Aktemur * gdb.base/condbreak-bad.c: New test. * gdb.base/condbreak-bad.exp: New file. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 5 +++ gdb/breakpoint.c | 17 +++++----- gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog | 5 +++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/condbreak-bad.c | 24 ++++++++++++++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/condbreak-bad.exp | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/condbreak-bad.c create mode 100644 gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/condbreak-bad.exp diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 7e1d5b9befd..cbe850d4681 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2020-07-30 Tankut Baris Aktemur + + * breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_condition): Update the + condition string after parsing the new condition successfully. + 2020-07-30 Rainer Orth * proc-api.c (_STRUCTURED_PROC): Don't define. diff --git a/gdb/breakpoint.c b/gdb/breakpoint.c index 414208469f9..a3a7c17fbcf 100644 --- a/gdb/breakpoint.c +++ b/gdb/breakpoint.c @@ -834,9 +834,6 @@ void set_breakpoint_condition (struct breakpoint *b, const char *exp, int from_tty) { - xfree (b->cond_string); - b->cond_string = NULL; - if (is_watchpoint (b)) { struct watchpoint *w = (struct watchpoint *) b; @@ -859,6 +856,9 @@ set_breakpoint_condition (struct breakpoint *b, const char *exp, if (*exp == 0) { + xfree (b->cond_string); + b->cond_string = nullptr; + if (from_tty) printf_filtered (_("Breakpoint %d now unconditional.\n"), b->number); } @@ -866,11 +866,6 @@ set_breakpoint_condition (struct breakpoint *b, const char *exp, { const char *arg = exp; - /* I don't know if it matters whether this is the string the user - typed in or the decompiled expression. */ - b->cond_string = xstrdup (arg); - b->condition_not_parsed = 0; - if (is_watchpoint (b)) { struct watchpoint *w = (struct watchpoint *) b; @@ -896,6 +891,12 @@ set_breakpoint_condition (struct breakpoint *b, const char *exp, error (_("Junk at end of expression")); } } + + /* We know that the new condition parsed successfully.
