This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Unfortunately, PyGetSetDef's 'name' and 'doc' members are 'char *'
instead of 'const char *', meaning that in order to list-initialize
PyGetSetDef arrays using string literals requires writing explicit
'char *' casts. For example:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
- { "address", valpy_get_address, NULL, "The address of the value.",
+ { (char *) "address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
+ (char *) "The address of the value.",
NULL },
- { "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
+ { (char *) "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
"out (i.e., not available).",
NULL },
- { "type", valpy_get_type, NULL, "Type of the value.", NULL },
- { "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
- "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
- { "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
+ { (char *) "type", valpy_get_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
from the inferior). A lazy value is fetched when needed, or when\n\
the \"fetch_lazy()\" method is called.", NULL },
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
We have ~20 such arrays, and I first wrote a patch that fixed all of
them like that... It's not pretty...
One way to make these a bit less ugly would be add a new macro that
hides the casts, like:
#define GDBPY_GSDEF(NAME, GET, SET, DOC, CLOSURE) \
{ (char *) NAME, GET, SET, (char *) DOC, CLOSURE }
and then use it like:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
GDBPY_GSDEF ("address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
"The address of the value.", NULL),
GDBPY_GSDEF ("is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
"Boolean telling whether the value is optimized ", NULL),
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
};
But since we have C++11, which gives us constexpr and list
initialization, I thought of a way that requires no changes where the
arrays are initialized:
We add a new type that extends PyGetSetDef (called gdb_PyGetSetDef),
and add constexpr constructors that accept const 'name' and 'doc', and
then list/aggregate initialization simply "calls" these matching
constructors instead.
I put "calls" in quotes, because given "constexpr", it's all done at
compile time, and there's no overhead either in binary size or at run
time. In fact, we get identical binaries, before/after this change.
Unlike the fixes that fix some old Python API to match the API of more
recent Python, this switches to using explicit "gdb_PyGetSetDef"
everywhere, just to be clear that we are using our own version of it.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
In C, we can forward declare static structure instances. That doesn't
work in C++ though. C++ treats these as definitions. So then the
compiler complains about symbol redefinition, like:
src/gdb/elfread.c:1569:29: error: redefinition of ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’
src/gdb/elfread.c:53:29: error: ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’ previously declared here
The intent of static here is naturally to avoid making these objects
visible outside the compilation unit. The equivalent in C++ would be
to instead define the objects in the anonymous namespace. But given
that it's desirable to leave the codebase compiling as both C and C++
for a while, this just makes the objects extern.
(base_breakpoint_ops is already declared in breakpoint.h, so we can
just remove the forward declare from breakpoint.c)
