puts_filtered_tabular is now misnamed, because whether filtering
happens is now up to the stream. So, rename it. (This function is
pretty weird, and should probably be rewritten to avoid using the
chars_printed global, and moved into objc-lang.c. However, I haven't
done so.)
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the putc family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_putc". Most of this patch was written by script.
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the puts family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_puts". Most of this patch was written by script.
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the vprintf family of functions: vprintf_filtered,
vprintf_unfiltered, vfprintf_filtered and vfprintf_unfiltered. (For
the gdb_stdout variants, recall that only printf_unfiltered gets truly
unfiltered output at this point.) This removes one such function and
renames the remaining two to "gdb_vprintf". All callers are updated.
Much of this patch was written by script.
This rewrites the output pager as a ui_file implementation.
A new header is introduced to declare the pager class. The
implementation remains in utils.c for the time being, because there
are some static globals there that must be used by this code. (This
could be cleaned up at some future date.)
I went through all the text output in gdb to ensure that this change
should be ok. There are a few cases:
* Any existing call to printf_unfiltered is required to be avoid the
pager. This is ensured directly in the implementation.
* All remaining calls to the f*_unfiltered functions -- the ones that
take an explicit ui_file -- either send to an unfiltered stream
(e.g., gdb_stderr), which is obviously ok; or conditionally send to
gdb_stdout
I investigated all such calls by searching for:
grep -e '\bf[a-z0-9_]*_unfiltered' *.[chyl] */*.[ch] | grep -v gdb_stdlog | grep -v gdb_stderr
This yields a number of candidates to check.
* The breakpoint _print_recreate family, and
save_trace_state_variables. These are used for "save" commands
and so are fine.
* Things printing to a temporary stream. Obviously ok.
* Disassembly selftests.
* print_gdb_help - this is non-obvious, but ok because paging isn't
yet enabled at this point during startup.
* serial.c - doens't use gdb_stdout
* The code in compile/. This is all printing to a file.
* DWARF DIE dumping - doesn't reference gdb_stdout.
* Calls to the _filtered form -- these are all clearly ok, because if
they are using gdb_stdout, then filtering will still apply; and if
not, then filtering never applied and still will not.
Therefore, at this point, there is no longer any distinction between
all the other _filtered and _unfiltered calls, and they can be
unified.
In this patch, take special note of the vfprintf_maybe_filtered and
ui_file::vprintf change. This is one instance of the above idea,
erasing the distinction between filtered and unfiltered -- in this
part of the change, the "unfiltered_output" flag is never passe to
cli_ui_out. Subsequent patches will go much further in this
direction.
Also note the can_emit_style_escape changes in ui-file.c. Checking
against gdb_stdout or gdb_stderr was always a bit of a hack; and now
it is no longer needed, because this is decision can be more fully
delegated to the particular ui_file implementation.
ui_file::can_page is removed, because this patch removed the only call
to it.
I think this is the main part of fixing PR cli/7234.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7234
When the pager is rewritten as a ui_file, gdb will still need a way to
bypass the filtering. After examining a few approaches, I chose this
patch, which adds a puts_unfiltered method to ui_file. For most
implementations of ui_file, this will just delegate to puts. This
patch also switches printf_unfiltered to use the new method.
At the end of this series, the use of unfiltered output will be very
restricted -- only places that definitely need it will use it. To
this end, I thought it would be good to reduce the number of
_unfiltered APIs that are exposed. This patch changes gdb so that
only printf_unfiltered exists. (After this patch, the f* variants
still exist as well, but those will be removed later.)
Currently, timestamps for logging are done by looking for the use of
gdb_stdlog in vfprintf_unfiltered. This seems potentially buggy, in
that during logging or other redirects (like execute_fn_to_ui_file) we
might have gdb_stdout==gdb_stdlog and so, conceivably, wind up with
timestamps in a log when they were not desired.
It seems better, instead, for timestamps to be a property of the
ui_file itself.
This patch changes gdb to use the new timestamped_file for gdb_stdlog
where appropriate, and removes the special case from
vfprintf_unfiltered.
Note that this may somewhat change the output in some cases -- in
particular, when going through execute_fn_to_ui_file (or the _string
variant), timestamps won't be emitted. This could be fixed in those
functions, but it wasn't clear to me whether this is really desirable.
Note also that this changes the TUI to send gdb_stdlog to gdb_stderr.
I imagine that the previous use of gdb_stdout here was inadvertent.
(And in any case it probably doesn't matter.)
This adds a "timestamped_file" subclass of ui_file. This class adds a
timestamp to its output when appropriate. That is, it follows the
rule already used in vfprintf_unfiltered of adding a timestamp at most
once per write.
The new class is not yet used.
This patch adds support for wild template parameter list matches, similar
to how ABI tags or function overloads are now handled.
With this patch, users will be able to "gloss over" the details of matching
template parameter lists. This is accomplished by adding (yet more) logic
to strncmp_iw_with_mode to skip parameter lists if none is explicitly given
by the user.
Here's a simple example using gdb.linespec/cpls-ops.exp:

Similar to how scope lookups work, passing "-qualified" to the break command
will cause a literal lookup of the symbol. In the example immediately above,
this will cause GDB to only find the three non-template functions.
This patch attempts to make a start at adding unit tests for
strncmp_iw_with_mode. While there is quite a bit of testing
of this function in other tests, these are currently end-to-end
tests.
This patch attempts to cover the basics of string matching, white
space, C++ ABI tags, and several other topics. However, one area
that is ostensibly missing is testing the `match_for_lcd' feature.
This is otherwise tested as part of our end-to-end DejaGNU-based
testing.
A have had situation where a unfiltered output (done using
fputs_unfiltered) ended up triggering pagination. The backtrace for this was:
...
#24 0x000055839377ee4e in check_async_event_handlers () at ../../gdb/async-event.c:335
#25 0x0000558394b67b57 in gdb_do_one_event () at ../../gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:216

...
This comes from what appears to be a oversight in fputs_maybe_filtered. This
function has a FILTER parameter which if true makes the function pause after
every screenful (i.e. triggers pagination).
The filter parameter is correctly used to guard the first place where
prompt_for_continue. There is a second place in the function which can call
prompt_for_continue, but is currently unguarded. I believe that this is an
oversight, this patch fixes that.

I noticed that host_hex_value is redundant, because gdbsupport already
has fromhex. This patch removes the former in favor of the latter.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
This removes the global wrap_here function, so that future calls
cannot be introduced. Instead, all callers must use the method on the
appropriate ui_file.
This temporarily moves the implementation of this method to utils.c.
This will change once the remaining patches to untangle the pager have
been written.
I think it only really makes sense to call wrap_here with an argument
consisting solely of spaces. Given this, it seemed better to me that
the argument be an int, rather than a string. This patch is the
result. Much of it was written by a script.
A common pattern for string_file is to want to move out the internal
string buffer, because it is the result of the computation that we want
to return. It is the reason why string_file::string returns a non-const
reference, as explained in the comment. I think it would make sense to
have a dedicated method for that instead and make string_file::string
return a const reference.
This allows removing the explicit std::move in the typical case. Note
that compile_program::compute was missing a move, meaning that the
resulting string was copied. With the new version, it's not possible to
forget to move.

In an earlier version of the pager rewrite series, it was important to
audit unfiltered output calls to see which were truly necessary.
This is no longer necessary, but it still seems like a decent cleanup
to change calls to avoid explicitly passing gdb_stdout. That is,
rather than using something like fprintf_unfiltered with gdb_stdout,
the code ought to use plain printf_unfiltered instead.
This patch makes this change. I went ahead and converted all the
_filtered calls I could find, as well, for the same clarity.
In my tour of the ui_file subsystem, I found that fputstr and fputstrn
can be simplified. The _filtered forms are never used (and IMO
unlikely to ever be used) and so can be removed. And, the interface
can be simplified by removing a callback function and moving the
implementation directly to ui_file.
A new self-test is included. Previously, I think nothing was testing
this code.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
The patch to fix paging with redirection caused a regression in the
internal AdaCore test suite. The problem occurs when running an MI
command from the CLI using interpreter-exec, when paging is enabled.
This scenario isn't covered by the current test suite, so this patch
includes a new test.
The problem is that, in this situation, MI does:
fputs_unfiltered (strcmp (context->command, "target-select") == 0
? "^connected" : "^done", mi->raw_stdout);
Here raw_stdout is a stdio_file wrapping stdout, so the pager thinks
that it is ok to buffer the output. However, in this setup, it isn't
ok, and flushing the wrap buffer doesn't really work properly. Also,
MI next does:
mi_out_put (uiout, mi->raw_stdout);
... but this uses ui_file::write, which also doesn't flush the wrap
buffer.
I think all this will be fixed by the pager rewrite series I'm working
on. However, in the meantime, adding the old gdb_stdout check back to
the pager fixes this problem.

This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
I noticed yesterday that if gdb output is redirected to a file, the
pager will still be active. This is irritating, because the output
isn't actually visible -- just the pager prompt. Looking in bugzilla,
I found that this had been filed 17 years ago, as PR cli/8798.
This patch fixes the bug. It changes the pagination code to query the
particular ui-file to see if paging is allowable. The ui-file
implementations are changed so that only the stdout implementation and
a tee (where one sub-file is stdout) can page.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8798
gdbtypes.h uses core_addr_eq and core_addr_hash in a weird way: taking
the address of a member and then passing this (as a void*) to these
functions.
It seems better to simply inline the ordinary code here. CORE_ADDR is
a scalar so it can be directly compared, and the identity hash
function seems safe to assume as well.
After this, core_addr_eq and core_addr_hash are unused, so this patch
removes them.
gdb_print_host_address is just a simple wrapper around
fprintf_filtered. However, it is readily replaced in all callers by a
combination of %s and call to host_address_to_string. This also
simplifies the code, so I think it's worthwhile to remove this
function.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 64.
gdb_bfd.c contains most of gdb's BFD-related utility functions.
However, gdb_bfd_errmsg is in utils.c. It seemed better to me to move
this out of util.[ch] and into the BFD-related file instead.
Tested by rebuilding.
This removes the print_spaces helper function, in favor of using the
"*%s" idiom that's already used in many places in gdb. One spot (in
symmisc.c) is changed to use print_spaces_filtered, because the rest
of that function is using filtered output. (This highlights one way
that the printf idiom is better -- this error is harder to make when
using that.)
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
I noticed that puts_debug isn't used in the tree. git log tells me
that the last use was removed in 2015:

Delete the remaining ROM monitor targets
... and this commit mentions that the code being removed here probably
hadn't worked for 6 years prior to that.
Based on this, I'm removing puts_debug. I don't think it's useful.
Tested by rebuilding.
n_spaces keeps the spaces in a static buffer. If a caller overwrites
these, it may give an incorrect result to a subsequent caller. So,
make the return type const to help avoid this outcome.
The motivation is to reduce the number of places where unmanaged
pointers are returned from allocation type routines. All of the
callers are updated.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
There's a common pattern to call add_basic_prefix_cmd and

I noticed that some methods in language_defn could use
unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> rather than a plain 'char *'. This patch
implements this change, fixing up the fallout and changing
gdb_demangle to also return this type. In one spot, std::string is
used to simplify some related code, and in another, an auto_obstack is
used to avoid manual management.

This commit builds on previous work to allow GDB to print a backtrace
of itself when GDB encounters an internal-error or internal-warning.
This fixes PR gdb/26377.
There's not many places where we call internal_warning, and I guess in
most cases the user would probably continue their debug session. And
so, in order to avoid cluttering up the output, by default, printing
of a backtrace is off for internal-warnings.
In contrast, printing of a backtrace is on by default for
internal-errors, as I figure that in most cases hitting an
internal-error is going to be the end of the debug session.
Whether a backtrace is printed or not can be controlled with the new
settings:
maintenance set internal-error backtrace on|off
maintenance show internal-error backtrace
maintenance set internal-warning backtrace on|off
maintenance show internal-warning backtrace
Here is an example of what an internal-error now looks like with the
backtrace included:

My hope is that this backtrace might make it slightly easier to
diagnose GDB issues if all that is provided is the console output, I
find that we frequently get reports of an assert being hit that is

always obvious how we might have arrived at the assert.

Replace some of the manual string management (malloc/free) with
std::string when creating commands in utils.c.
Things are a little bit messy as, creating the prefix commands (using
add_basic_prefix_cmd and add_show_prefix_cmd), doesn't copy the doc
string, while creating the actual set/show commands (using
add_setshow_enum_cmd) does copy the doc string.
As a result, I have retained the use of xstrprintf when creating the
prefix command doc strings, but switched to using std::string when
creating the actual set/show commands.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Change struct internal_problem (gdb/utils.c) to use bool instead of
int, update the 3 static instances of this structure that we create to
use true/false instead of 1/0.
I've also updated the comments on struct internal_problem as the
existing comment doesn't seem to be referring to the structure, it
talks about returning something, which doesn't make sense in this
context.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
gdbfmt was already used for printf_filtered, so using it for
vprintf_filtered is more consistent.
As a result, all callers of vfprintf_maybe_filtered now use gdbfmt, so
the function can be simplified to assume the gdbfmt case and remove
the associated bool argument. Similary, vprintf_filtered is now a
simple wrapper around vfprintf_filtered.
Currently, when GDB hits an internal error, and the user selects to
dump core, the recently added feature to write a backtrace to the
console will kick in, and print a backtrace as well as dumping the
core.
This was certainly not my intention when adding the backtrace on fatal
signal functionality, this feature was intended to produce a backtrace
when GDB crashes due to some fatal signal, internal errors should have
continued to behave as they did before, unchanged.
In this commit I set the signal disposition of SIGABRT back to SIG_DFL
just prior to the call to abort() that GDB uses to trigger the core
dump, this prevents GDB reaching the code that writes the backtrace to
the console.
I've also added a test that checks we don't see a backtrace on the
console after an internal error.
Previously, the prefixname field of struct cmd_list_element was manually
set for prefix commands. This seems verbose and error prone as it
required every single call to functions adding prefix commands to
specify the prefix name while the same information can be easily
generated.
Historically, this was not possible as the prefix field was null for
many commands, but this was fixed in commit
3f4d92ebdf by Philippe Waroquiers, so
we can rely on the prefix field being set when generating the prefix
name.
This commit also fixes a use after free in this scenario:
* A command gets created via Python (using the gdb.Command class).
The prefix name member is dynamically allocated.
* An alias to the new command is created. The alias's prefixname is set
to point to the prefixname for the original command with a direct
assignment.
* A new command with the same name as the Python command is created.
* The object for the original Python command gets freed and its
prefixname gets freed as well.
* The alias is updated to point to the new command, but its prefixname
is not updated so it keeps pointing to the freed one.
gdb/ChangeLog:

it can now be generated automatically. Update all callers.

While working on another patch I noticed that if I disable a single
style with, for example:
set style filename background none
set style filename foreground none
set style filename intensity normal
Then in some places escape characters are still injected into the
output stream. This is a bit of an edge case, and I can't think when
this would actually cause problems, but it still felt like a bit of an
annoyance.
One place where this does impact is in testing, where it becomes
harder to write tight test patterns if it is not obvious when GDB will
decide to inject escape sequences.
It's especially annoying because depending on how something is printed
then GDB might, or might not, add escape characters. So this would
not add escape characters if the filename style was disabled:
fprintf_filtered (file, "%ps",
styled_string (file_name_style.style (),
"This is a test"));
But this would add escape characters:
fprintf_styled (file, file_name_style.style (),
"%s", "This is a test");
I tracked this down to some calls to set_output_style in utils.c.
Currently some calls to set_output_style (in utils.c) are guarded like
this:
if (!STYLE.is_default ())
set_output_style (stream, STYLE);
But some calls are not. It is the calls that are NOT guarded that
cause the extra escape sequences to be emitted.
My initial proposal to resolve this issue was simply to ensure that
all calls to set_output_style were guarded. The patch I posted for
this can be found here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-January/175096.html
The feedback on this proposal was that it might be better to guard
against the escape sequences being emitted at a later lever, right
down at emit_style_escape.
So this is what this version does. In emit_style_escape we already
track the currently applied style, so if the style we are being asked
to switch to is the same as the currently applied style then no escape
sequence needs to be emitted.
Making this change immediately exposed some issues in
fputs_maybe_filtered related to line wrapping. The best place to start
to understand what's going on with the styling and wrapping is look at
the test:
gdb.base/style.exp: all styles enabled: frame when width=20
If you run this test and then examine the output in an editor so the
escape sequences can be seen you'll see the duplicate escape sequences
that are emitted before this patch, the compare to after this patch
you'll see the set of escape sequences should be the minimum required.
In order to test these changes I have rewritten the gdb.base/style.exp
test script. The core of the script is now run multiple times. The
first time the test is run things are as they were before, all styles
are on.
After that the test is rerun multiple times. Each time through a
single style is disabled using the 3 explicit set calls listed above.
I then repeat all the tests, however, I arrange so that the patterns
for the disabled style now require no escape sequences.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (emit_style_escape): Only emit an escape sequence if the
requested style is different than the current applied style.
(fputs_maybe_filtered): Adjust the juggling of the wrap_style, and
current applied_style.
(fputs_styled): Remove is_default check.
(fputs_styled_unfiltered): Likewise.
(vfprintf_styled_no_gdbfmt): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/style.exp (limited_style): New proc.
(clean_restart_and_disable): New proc.
(run_style_tests): New proc. Most of the old tests from this file
are now in this proc.
(test_startup_version_string): New proc. Reamining test from the
old file is in this proc.

I tried enabling debug timestamps, and realized that it doesn't play

This is due to debug_prefixed_vprintf being implemented as three
separate calls to debug_printf / debug_vprintf. Each call gets its own
timestamp and newline, curtesy of vprintf_unfiltered.
My first idea was to add a "line_start" parameter to debug_vprintf,
allowing the caller to say whether the print is the start of the line.
A debug timestamp would only be printed if line_start was true.
However, that was much more invasive than the simple fix implemented in
this patch.
My second idea was to make debug_prefixed_vprintf use string_printf and
issue a single call to debug_printf. That would however prevent future
use of styling in the debug messages.
What is implemented in this patch is the same as is implemented in
GDBserver: the timestamp-printing code in GDB tracks whether the last
debug output ended with a newline. If so, it prints a timestamp on the
next debug output.
After the fix, it looks like this:
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -ex "set debug infrun" -ex "set debug timestamp" a.out

Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
After seeing Simon's patch, I thought maybe it was finally time to
remove printfi_filtered and fprintfi_filtered, in favor of using the
"%*s" approach to indenting.
In this patch I took the straightforward approach of always adding a
leading "%*s", even when the format already started with "%s", to
avoid the trickier form of:
printf ("%*s", -indent, string)
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 32.
Let me know what you think.
