I don't think it's very useful to show deprecated aliases to the
user. It encourages the user to use them, when the goal is the
opposite.
For example, before:

set index-cache enabled, set index-cache off, set index-cache on
alias set index-cache off = set index-cache enabled off
alias set index-cache on = set index-cache enabled on
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
(gdb) help set index-cache on
Warning: 'set index-cache on', an alias for the command 'set index-cache enabled', is deprecated.

alias set index-cache off = set index-cache enabled off
alias set index-cache on = set index-cache enabled on
Enable the index cache.

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.

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
integer and an equivalent target_waitstatus object. It would make sense
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)
which does the right thing, given the move constructor of
target_waitstatus.
Change-Id: I7a07d59d3dc19d3ed66929642f82f44f3e85d61b
While playing with some code creating target_waitstatus objects, I was
mildly annoyed by the fact that we can't just return a new
target_waitstatus object. We have to do:
target_waitstatus ws;
ws.set_exited (123);
return ws;
Make the setters return the "this" object as a reference, such that it's
possible to do:
return target_waitstatus ().set_exited (123);
I initially thought of adding static creation functions, which you would
use like:
return target_waitstatus::make_exited (123);
However, making the setters return a reference to the object achieves
pretty much the same thing, with less new code.

gdb/remote: use scoped_restore to control starting_up flag
introduced a use after free bug. The scoped restore added in the
above commit resets a flag within a remote_target's remote_state
object.
However, in some situations, the remote_target can be unpushed before
the error is thrown. If the only reference to the target is the one
in the target stack, then unpushing the target will cause the
remote_target to be deleted, which, in turn, will delete the
remote_state object. The scoped restore will then try to reset the
flag within a deleted object.
This problem was caught in the gdb.server/server-connect.exp test,
which, when run with the address sanitizer enabled, highlights the
write after free bug described above.
This commit resolves this issue by adding a new class specifically for
the purpose of managing the starting_up flag. As well as setting, and
then clearing the starting_up flag, this new class increments, and
then decrements the reference count on the remote_target object. This
prevents the remote_target from being deleted until after the flag has
been reset.
The gdb.server/server-connect.exp now runs cleanly with the address
sanitizer enabled.
That xstrdup is not correct, since we are assigning an std::string. The
result of xstrdup is used to initialize the string, and then lost
forever. Remove it.

Commit ab557072b8 ("gdb: use actual DWARF version in compunit's
debugformat field") changes the debug format string in "info source" to
show the actual DWARF version, rather than always show "DWARF 2".
However, it failed to consider that some tests checked for the "DWARF 2"
string to see if the test program is compiled with DWARF debug
information. Since everything is compiled with DWARF 4 or 5 nowadays,
that changed the behavior of those tests. Notably, it prevent the
tests using skip_inline_var_tests to run.
Grep through the testsuite for "DWARF 2" and change all occurrences I
could find to use "DWARF [0-9]" instead (that string is passed to TCL's
string match).

In the gdb.ada/fixed_points_function.exp testcase, we have the following
Ada code...
type FP1_Type is delta 0.1 range -1.0 .. +1.0; -- Ordinary
function Call_FP1 (F : FP1_Type) return FP1_Type is
begin
FP1_Arg := F;
return FP1_Arg;
end Call_FP1;
... used as follow:
F1 : FP1_Type := 1.0;
F1 := Call_FP1 (F1);
The testcase, among other things, verifies that "return" works
properly as follow:
| (gdb) return 1.0
| Make pck.call_fp1 return now? (y or n) y
| [...]
| 9 F1 := Call_FP1 (F1);
| (gdb) next
| (gdb) print f1
| $1 = 0.0625
The output of the last command shows that we returned the wrong
value. The value printed gives a clue about the problem, since
it is 1/16th of the value we expected, where 1/16 is FP1_Type's
scaling factor.
The problem, here, comes from the fact that the function
handling return values for base types (ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base)
writes the return value using unpack_long which, upon seeing that
the value being unpacked is a fixed point type, applies the scaling
factor, to get the integer-representation of our fixed-point value
(similar to what it does with floats, for instance).
So, the fix consists in teaching ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base
about fixed-point types, and to avoid the unwanted application
of the scaling factor.
Note that the "finish" function, on the other hand, does not
suffer from this issue, simply becaue the value returned by
the function is read from register without the use of a type,
thus avoiding an unwanted application of a scaling factor.
No test added, as this change is already tested by
gdb.ada/fixed_points_function.exp.
Co-Authored-By: Tristan Gingold <gingold@adacore.com>
This commit adds support for TYPE_CODE_FIXED_POINT types for
"finish" and "return" commands.
Consider the following Ada code...
type FP1_Type is delta 0.1 range -1.0 .. +1.0; -- Ordinary
function Call_FP1 (F : FP1_Type) return FP1_Type is
begin
FP1_Arg := F;
return FP1_Arg;
end Call_FP1;
... used as follow:
F1 : FP1_Type := 1.0;
F1 := Call_FP1 (F1);
"finish" currently behaves as follow:
| (gdb) finish
| [...]
| Value returned is $1 = 0
We expect the returned value to be "1".
Similarly, "return" makes the function return the wrong value:
| (gdb) return 1.0
| Make pck.call_fp1 return now? (y or n) y
| [...]
| 9 F1 := Call_FP1 (F1);
| (gdb) next
| (gdb) print f1
| $1 = 0.0625
(we expect it to print "1" instead).
This problem comes from the handling of integral return values
when the return value is actually fixed point type. Our type
here is actually a range of a fixed point type, but the same
principles should also apply to pure fixed-point types. For
the record, here is what the debugging info looks like:
<1><238>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<239> DW_AT_lower_bound : -16
<23a> DW_AT_upper_bound : 16
<23b> DW_AT_name : pck__fp1_type
<23f> DW_AT_type : <0x248>
<1><248>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<249> DW_AT_byte_size : 1
<24a> DW_AT_encoding : 13 (signed_fixed)
<24b> DW_AT_binary_scale: -4
<24c> DW_AT_name : pck__Tfp1_typeB
<250> DW_AT_artificial : 1
... where the scaling factor is 1/16.
Looking at the "finish" command, what happens is that riscv_arg_location
determines that our return value should be returned by parameter using
an integral convention (via builtin type long). And then,
riscv_return_value uses a cast to that builtin type long to
store the value of into a buffer with the right register size.
This doesn't work in our case, because the underlying value
returned by the function is unscaled, which means it is 16,
and thus the cast is like doing:
arg_val = (FP1_Type) 16
... In other words, it is trying to create an FP1_Type enty whose
value is 16. Applying the scaling factor, that's 256, and because
the size of FP1_Type is 1 byte, we overflow and thus it ends up
being zero.
The same happen with the "return" function, but the other way around.
The fix consists in handling fixed-point types separately from
integral types.
Consider the following Ada code:
type FP1_Type is delta 0.1 range -1.0 .. +1.0; -- Ordinary
FP1_Arg : FP1_Type := 0.0;
function Call_FP1 (F : FP1_Type) return FP1_Type is
begin
FP1_Arg := F;
return FP1_Arg;
end Call_FP1;
After having stopped inside function Call_FP1 as follow:
Breakpoint 1, pck.call_fp1 (f=1) at /[...]/pck.adb:5
5 FP1_Arg := F;
Returning from that function call using "finish" should show
that the function return "1.0" (the same value as was passed
as an argument). However, this is not the case:
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 pck.call_fp1 (f=1)
[...]
9 F1 := Call_FP1 (F1);
Value returned is $1 = 0
This patch enhances the extraction of the return value to know about
fixed point types.
Consider the following code:
type FP1_Type is delta 0.1 range -1.0 .. +1.0; -- Ordinary
function Call_FP1 (F : FP1_Type) return FP1_Type is
begin
return F;
end Call_FP1;
When the default in GCC is to generate proper DWARF info for fixed point
types, then in gdb, printing the result of a call to call_fp1 with a
decimal parameter leads to:
(gdb) p call_fp1(0.5)
$1 = 0
The displayed value is wrong, and we actually expected:
(gdb) p call_fp1(0.5)
$1 = 0.5
What happened is that our fixed point type parameter got promoted to a
32bit integer because we detected that the length of that object was less
than 4 bytes. The compiler does not perform this promotion and therefore
GDB should not either.
This patch fixes the behavior described above.
This adds a 'task apply' command, which is the Ada tasking analogue of
'thread apply'. Unlike 'thread apply', it doesn't offer the
'ascending' flag; but otherwise it's essentially the same.
When introducing this code, I forgot that we had some macros for this.
Replace some "manual" pragma diagnostic with some DIAGNOSTIC_* macros,
provided by include/diagnostics.h.
In diagnostics.h:
- Add DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR, to enable a diagnostic at error level.
- Add DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH, to enable -Wswitch at error level, for
both gcc and clang.
Additionally, using DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH, DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH and
DIAGNOSTIC_POP seems to misbehave with g++ 4.8, where we see these
errors:
CXX ada-tasks.o
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ada-tasks.c: In function void read_known_tasks():
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ada-tasks.c:998:10: error: enumeration value ADA_TASKS_UNKNOWN not handled in switch [-Werror=switch]
switch (data->known_tasks_kind)
^
Because of the POP, the diagnostic should go back to being disabled,
since it was disabled in the beginning, but that's not what we see
here. Versions of GCC >= 5 compile correctly.
Work around this by making DIAGNOSTIC_ERROR_SWITCH a no-op for GCC < 5.
Note that this code (already as it exists in master today) enables
-Wswitch at the error level even if --disable-werror is passed. It
shouldn't be a problem, as it's not like a new enumerator will appear
out of nowhere and cause a build error if building with future
compilers. Still, for correctness, we would ideally want to ask the
compiler to enable -Wswitch at its default level (as if the user had
passed -Wswitch on the command-line). There doesn't seem to be a way to
do this.

This commit makes use of a scoped_restore object to control the
remote_state::starting_up flag within the remote_target::start_remote
method.
Ideally I would have liked to create the scoped_restore inside
start_remote and just leave the restore in place until the end of the
scope, however, I'm worried that doing this would change the behaviour
of GDB. Specifically, in start_remote, the following code is executed
once the starting_up flag has been restored to its previous value:
if (breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now ())
insert_breakpoints ();
I think (but am not 100% sure) that calling install_breakpoints could
end up back inside remote_target::can_download_tracepoint, which does
check the value of remote_state::starting_up. And so, I'm concerned
that leaving the scoped_restore in place until the end of start_remote
will cause a possible change in behaviour.
To avoid this, and to leave things as close to the current behaviour
as possible, I've split remote_target::start_remote into two, there's
the main function body which moves into remote_target::start_remote_1,
this function uses the scoped_restore to change the ::starting_up
flag, then there's the old remote_target::start_remote, which now just
calls ::start_remote_1, and then does the insert_breakpoints call.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit, unless
there's a situation where the ::starting_up flag could previously have
been left set, if this was the case, then this situation should no
longer be possible.

The expect file has a procedure append_arch_options which sets march based
the istarget. The current if / else statement does not check for
powerpc64. The else statement is hit which sets march to -m32. This

This patch adds an if statement to check for powerpc64 and if true sets mach

When running the gdb.python/py-arch.exp tests on a GDB built
against Python 2 I ran into some errors. The problem is that this
test script exercises the gdb.Architecture.integer_type method, and
this method uses 'p' as an argument format specifier in a call to
gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
Unfortunately this specified was only added in Python 3.3, so will
cause an error for earlier versions of Python.
This commit switches to use the 'O' specifier to collect a PyObject,
and then uses PyObject_IsTrue to convert the object to a boolean.
An earlier version of this patch incorrectly switched from using 'p'
to use 'i', however, it was pointed out during review that this would
cause some changes in behaviour, for example both of these will work
with 'p', but not with 'i':
gdb.selected_inferior().architecture().integer_type(32, None)
gdb.selected_inferior().architecture().integer_type(32, "foo")
The new approach of using 'O' works fine with these cases. I've added
some new tests to cover both of the above.

gdb: improve error reporting from the disassembler
We started seeing FAILs in the gdb.base/all-architectures*.exp tests,
when running on a 32-bit ARM target, though I suspect running on any
target that compiles such that bfd_vma is 32-bits would also trigger
the failures.
The problem is that the test is expected GDB's disassembler to print
an error like this:
Cannot access memory at address 0x0
However, after the above commit we see an error like:
unknown disassembler error (error = -1)
The reason for this is this code in opcodes/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;
}
This code effectively disallows us from ever disassembling 64-bit x86
code if we compiled GDB with a 32-bit bfd_vma. Notice we return
-1 (indicating a failure to disassemble), but never call the
memory_error_func callback.
Prior to the above commit GDB, when it received the -1 return value
would assume that a memory error had occurred and just print whatever
value happened to be in the memory error address variable, the default
value of 0 just happened to be fine because the test had asked GDB to
do this 'disassemble 0x0,+4'.
If we instead change the test to do 'disassemble 0x100,+4' then GDB
would (previously) have still reported:
Cannot access memory at address 0x0
which makes far less sense.
In this commit I propose to fix this issue by changing the test to
accept either the "Cannot access memory ..." string, or the newer
"unknown disassembler error ..." string. With this change done the
test now passes.
However, there is one weakness with this strategy; if GDB broke such
that we _always_ reported "unknown disassembler error ..." we would
never notice. This clearly would be bad. To avoid this issue I have
adjusted the all-architectures*.exp tests so that, when we disassemble
for the default architecture (the one selected by "auto") we _only_
expect to get the "Cannot access memory ..." error string.
[ Note: In an ideal world we should be able to disassemble any
architecture at all times. There's no reason why the 64-bit x86
disassembler requires a 64-bit bfd_vma, other than the code happens
to be written that way. We could rewrite the disassemble to not
have this requirement, but, I don't plan to do that any time soon. ]
Further, I have changed the all-architectures*.exp test so that we now
disassemble at address 0x100, this should avoid us being able to pass
by printing a default address of 0x0. I did originally change the
address we disassembled at to 0x4, however, some architectures,
e.g. ia64, have a default instruction alignment that is greater than
4, so would still round down to 0x0. I could have just picked 0x8 as
an address, but I figured that 0x100 was likely to satisfy most
architectures alignment requirements.
This commits adds a new sub-class of gdb.TargetConnection,
gdb.RemoteTargetConnection. This sub-class is created for all
'remote' and 'extended-remote' targets.
This new sub-class has one additional method over its base class,
'send_packet'. This new method is equivalent to the 'maint
packet' CLI command, it allows a custom packet to be sent to a remote
target.
The outgoing packet can either be a bytes object, or a Unicode string,
so long as the Unicode string contains only ASCII characters.
The result of calling RemoteTargetConnection.send_packet is a bytes
object containing the reply that came from the remote.
In a later commit I will add a Python API to access the 'maint packet'
functionality, that is, sending a user specified packet to the target.
To make implementing this easier, this commit refactors how this
command is currently implemented so that the packet_command function
is now global.
The new global send_remote_packet function takes an object that is an
implementation of an abstract interface. Two functions within this
interface are then called, one just before a packet is sent to the
remote target, and one when the reply has been received from the
remote target. Using an interface object in this way allows (1) for
the error checking to be done before the first callback is made, this
means we only print out what packet it being sent once we know we are
going to actually send it, and (2) we don't need to make a copy of the
reply if all we want to do is print it.
One user visible changes after this commit are the error
messages, which I've changed to be less 'maint packet' command
focused, this will make them (I hope) better for when
send_remote_packet can be called from Python code.
So: "command can only be used with remote target"
Becomes: "packets can only be sent to a remote target"
And: "remote-packet command requires packet text as argument"
Becomes: "a remote packet must not be empty"
Additionally, in this commit, I've added support for packet replies
that contain binary data. Before this commit, the code that printed
the reply treated the reply as a C string, it assumed that the string
only contained printable characters, and had a null character only at
the end.
One way to show the problem with this is if we try to read the auxv
data from a remote target, the auxv data is binary, so, before this
commit:
(gdb) target remote :54321
...
(gdb) maint packet qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000
sending: "qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000"
received: "l!"
(gdb)
And after this commit:
(gdb) target remote :54321
...
(gdb) maint packet qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000
sending: "qXfer:auxv:read::0,1000"
received: "l!\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf0\xfc\xf7\xff\x7f\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xf>
(gdb)
The binary contents of the reply are now printed as escaped hex.
This commit adds a new object type gdb.TargetConnection. This new
type represents a connection within GDB (a connection as displayed by
'info connections').
There's three ways to find a gdb.TargetConnection, there's a new
'gdb.connections()' function, which returns a list of all currently
active connections.
Or you can read the new 'connection' property on the gdb.Inferior
object type, this contains the connection for that inferior (or None
if the inferior has no connection, for example, it is exited).
Finally, there's a new gdb.events.connection_removed event registry,
this emits a new gdb.ConnectionEvent whenever a connection is removed
from GDB (this can happen when all inferiors using a connection exit,
though this is not always the case, depending on the connection type).
The gdb.ConnectionEvent has a 'connection' property, which is the
gdb.TargetConnection being removed from GDB.
The gdb.TargetConnection has an 'is_valid()' method. A connection
object becomes invalid when the underlying connection is removed from
GDB (as discussed above, this might be when all inferiors using a
connection exit, or it might be when the user explicitly replaces a
connection in GDB by issuing another 'target' command).
The gdb.TargetConnection has the following read-only properties:
'num': The number for this connection,
'type': e.g. 'native', 'remote', 'sim', etc
'description': The longer description as seen in the 'info
connections' command output.
'details': A string or None. Extra details for the connection, for
example, a remote connection's details might be
'hostname:port'.
The Rust compiler plans to change the encoding of a Rust 'char' type
to use DW_ATE_UTF. You can see the discussion here:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/89887
However, this fails in gdb. I looked into this, and it turns out that
the handling of DW_ATE_UTF is currently fairly specific to C++. In
particular, the code here assumes the C++ type names, and it creates
an integer type.
This comes from commit 53e710acd ("GDB thinks char16_t and char32_t
are signed in C++"). The message says:
Both places need fixing. But since I couldn't tell why dwarf2read.c
needs to create a new type, I've made it use the per-arch built-in
types instead, so that the types are only created once per arch
instead of once per objfile. That seems to work fine.
... which is fine, but it seems to me that it's also correct to make a
new character type; and this approach is better because it preserves
the type name as well. This does use more memory, but first we
shouldn't be too concerned about the memory use of types coming from
debuginfo; and second, if we are, we should implement type interning
anyway.
Changing this code to use a character type revealed a couple of
oddities in the C/C++ handling of TYPE_CODE_CHAR. This patch fixes
these as well.
I filed PR rust/28637 for this issue, so that this patch can be
backported to the gdb 11 branch.
During debuginfod downloads, ctrl-c should result in the download
being cancelled and skipped. However in some cases, ctrl-c fails to
get delivered to gdb during downloading. This can result in downloads
being unskippable.
Fix this by ensuring that target_terminal::ours is in effect for the
duration of each download.

PR28539 describes a segfault in lambda function search_one_symtab due to
psymbol_functions::expand_symtabs_matching calling expansion_notify with a
nullptr symtab:
...
struct compunit_symtab *symtab =
psymtab_to_symtab (objfile, ps);
if (expansion_notify != NULL)
if (!expansion_notify (symtab))
return false;
...
This happens as follows. The partial symtab ps is a dwarf2_include_psymtab
for some header file:
...
(gdb) p ps.filename
$5 = 0x64fcf80 "/usr/include/c++/11/bits/stl_construct.h"
...
The includer of ps is a shared symtab for a partial unit, with as user:
...
(gdb) p ps.includer().user.filename
$11 = 0x64fc9f0 \
"/usr/src/debug/llvm13-13.0.0-1.2.x86_64/tools/clang/lib/AST/Decl.cpp"
...
The call to psymtab_to_symtab expands the Decl.cpp symtab (and consequently
the shared symtab), but returns nullptr because:
...
struct dwarf2_include_psymtab : public partial_symtab
{
...
compunit_symtab *get_compunit_symtab (struct objfile *objfile) const override
{
return nullptr;
}
...
Fix this by returning the Decl.cpp symtab instead, which fixes the segfault
in the PR.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

While debugging a problem in gdb.dwarf2/dw2-lines.exp, I realized that the
test-case generates all executables and associated temporary files using the
same filenames.
Fix this by adding a new proc prefix_id in lib/gdb.exp, and using it in the
test-case.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
When running test-case gdb.dwarf2/dw2-lines.exp with target board -unix/-m32,
we run into another instance of PR28383, where the dwarf assembler generates
64-bit relocations which are not supported by the 32-bit assembler:
...
dw2-lines-dw.S: Assembler messages:^M
outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-lines/dw2-lines-dw.S:76: Error: \
cannot represent relocation type BFD_RELOC_64^M
...
Fix this by using _op_offset in _line_finalize_header.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
The variable names used to restore CFLAGS and LDFLAGS here don't quite
match the names used above, resulting in losing the original CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS. Fix that.

In commit f8080fb7a4 "[gdb/testsuite] Add gdb.base/include-main.exp" a
file gdb.base/main.c was added, which caused the following regression:
...
(gdb) list^M
<gdb.base/main.c>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/list-missing-source.exp: list
...
The problem is that the test-case does not expect to find a file main.c, but
now it finds gdb.base/main.c.
Fix this by using the more specific file name list-missing-source.c.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
The test-case gdb.ada/dgopt.exp uses the -gnatD switch, in combination with
-gnatG.
This causes the source file $src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/dgopt/x.adb to be
expanded into $build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.ada/dgopt/x.adb.dg, and the
debug information should refer to the x.adb.dg file.
That is the case for the .debug_line part:
...
The Directory Table is empty.
The File Name Table (offset 0x1c):
Entry Dir Time Size Name
1 0 0 0 x.adb.dg
...
but not for the .debug_info part:
...
<11> DW_AT_name : $src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/dgopt/x.adb
<15> DW_AT_comp_dir : $build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.ada/dgopt
...
Filed as PR gcc/103436.
In C we can generate similar debug information, using a source file that does
not contain any code, but includes another one that does:
...
$ cat gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/include-main.c
#include "main.c"
...
such that in the .debug_line part we have:
...
The Directory Table (offset 0x1c):
1 /home/vries/gdb_versions/devel/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base
The File Name Table (offset 0x57):
Entry Dir Time Size Name
1 1 0 0 main.c
...
and in the .debug_info part:
...
<11> DW_AT_name : $src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/include-main.c
<15> DW_AT_comp_dir : $build/gdb/testsuite
...
Add a C test-case that mimics gdb.ada/dgopt.exp, that is:
- generate debug info as described above,
- issue a list of a line in include-main.c, while the corresponding
CU is not expanded yet.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
This commit adds support for RISC-V disassembler options to GDB. This
commit is based on this patch which was never committed:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-January/114944.html
All of the binutils refactoring has been moved to a separate, earlier,
commit, so this commit is pretty straight forward, just registering
the required gdbarch hooks.

commit c6a6aad52d
Date: Mon Oct 25 17:25:45 2021 +0100
gdb/python: make some global variables static
building without Python was broken. The extension_language_python
global was moved from being always defined, to only being defined when
the HAVE_PYTHON macro was defined. As a consequence, building without
Python support would result in errors like:
/usr/bin/ld: extension.o:(.rodata+0x120): undefined reference to `extension_language_python'
This commit fixes the problem by moving the definition of
extension_language_python outside of the HAVE_PYTHON macro protection.
This commit introduced a test failure in gdb.server/attach-flag.exp.
I didn't spot this failure originally as the problem is fixed by this,
as yet unpushed patch:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-November/183768.html
I unfortunately didn't test each patch in the original series
independently. I'll repost this patch after the above patch has been
merged.
This reverts commit 32b1f5e8d6.
