gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
This commit removes some, but not all, uses of LA_PRINT_STRING. In
this commit I've removed those uses where there is an obvious language
object on which I can instead call the printstr method.
In the remaining 3 uses it is harder to know if the correct thing is
to call printstr on the current language, or on a specific language.
Currently obviously, we always call on the current language (as that's
what LA_PRINT_STRING does), and clearly this behaviour is good enough
right now, but is it "right"? I've left them for now and will give
them more thought in the future.

Considering this example:
struct C
{
int func() { return 1; }
} c;
int main()
{
return c.func();
}
Accessing the fields of C::func, when requesting the function by its
type, works:
(gdb) py print(gdb.parse_and_eval('C::func').type.fields()[0].type)
C * const
But when trying to do the same via a class instance, it fails:
(gdb) py print(gdb.parse_and_eval('c')['func'].type.fields()[0].type)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Type is not a structure, union, enum, or function type.
Error while executing Python code.
The difference is that in the former the function type is TYPE_CODE_FUNC:
(gdb) py print(gdb.parse_and_eval('C::func').type.code == gdb.TYPE_CODE_FUNC)
True
And in the latter the function type is TYPE_CODE_METHOD:
(gdb) py print(gdb.parse_and_eval('c')['func'].type.code == gdb.TYPE_CODE_METHOD)
True
So this adds the functionality for TYPE_CODE_METHOD as well.

The previous patch made it possible to define a condition if it's
valid at some locations. If the condition is invalid at all of the
locations, it's rejected. However, there may be cases where the user
knows the condition *will* be valid at a location in the future,
e.g. due to a shared library load.
To make it possible that such condition can be defined, this patch
adds an optional '-force' flag to the 'condition' command, and,
respectively, a '-force-condition' flag to the 'break'command. When
the force flag is passed, the condition is not rejected even when it
is invalid for all the current locations (note that all the locations
would be internally disabled in this case).
For instance:
(gdb) break test.c:5
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1155: file test.c, line 5.
(gdb) cond 1 foo == 42
No symbol "foo" in current context.
Defining the condition was not possible because 'foo' is not
available. The user can override this behavior with the '-force'
flag:
(gdb) cond -force 1 foo == 42
warning: failed to validate condition at location 1.1, disabling:
No symbol "foo" in current context.
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
stop only if foo == 42
1.1 N 0x0000000000001155 in main at test.c:5
Now the condition is accepted, but the location is automatically
disabled. If a future location has a context in which 'foo' is
available, that location would be enabled.
For the 'break' command, -force-condition has the same result:
(gdb) break test.c:5 -force-condition if foo == 42
warning: failed to validate condition at location 0x1169, disabling:
No symbol "foo" in current context.
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1169: file test.c, line 5.

This commit unifies all of the Python register lookup code (used by
Frame.read_register, PendingFrame.read_register, and
gdb.UnwindInfo.add_saved_register), and adds support for using a
gdb.RegisterDescriptor for register lookup.
Currently the register unwind code (PendingFrame and UnwindInfo) allow
registers to be looked up either by name, or by GDB's internal
number. I suspect the number was added for performance reasons, when
unwinding we don't want to repeatedly map from name to number for
every unwind. However, this kind-of sucks, it means Python scripts
could include GDB's internal register numbers, and if we ever change
this numbering in the future users scripts will break in unexpected
ways.
Meanwhile, the Frame.read_register method only supports accessing
registers using a string, the register name.
This commit unifies all of the register to register-number lookup code
in our Python bindings, and adds a third choice into the mix, the use
of gdb.RegisterDescriptor.
The register descriptors can be looked up by name, but once looked up,
they contain GDB's register number, and so provide all of the
performance benefits of using a register number directly. However, as
they are looked up by name we are no longer tightly binding the Python
API to GDB's internal numbering scheme.
As we may already have scripts in the wild that are using the register
numbers directly I have kept support for this in the API, but I have
listed this method last in the manual, and I have tried to stress that
this is NOT a good method to use and that users should use either a
string or register descriptor approach.
After this commit all existing Python code should function as before,
but users now have new options for how to identify registers.

gdb/python: Reuse gdb.RegisterDescriptor objects where possible

Only create one gdb.RegisterGroup Python object for each of GDB's
reggroup objects.
I could have added a field into the reggroup object to hold the Python
object pointer for each reggroup, however, as reggroups are never
deleted within GDB, and are global (not per-architecture) a simpler
solution seemed to be just to hold a single global map from reggroup
pointer to a Python object representing the reggroup. Then we can
reuse the objects out of this map.
After this commit it is possible for a user to tell that two
gdb.RegisterGroup objects are now identical when previously they were
unique, however, as both these objects are read-only I don't think
this should be a problem.
There should be no other user visible changes after this commit.

Instead of having the gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator creating new
gdb.RegisterDescriptor objects for each regnum, instead cache
gdb.RegisterDescriptor objects on the gdbarch object and reuse these.
This means that for every gdbarch/regnum pair there is a single unique
gdb.RegisterDescriptor, this feels like a neater implementation than
the existing one.
It is possible for a user to see (in Python code) that the descriptors
are now identical, but as the descriptors are read-only this should
make no real difference.
There should be no other user visible changes.

Getting the bounds of an array (or string) type is a common operation,
and is currently done through its index type:
my_array_type->index_type ()->bounds ()
I think it would make sense to let the `type::bounds` methods work for
arrays and strings, as a shorthand for this. It's natural that when
asking for the bounds of an array, we get the bounds of the range type
used as its index type. In a way, it's equivalent as the now-removed
TYPE_ARRAY_{LOWER,UPPER}_BOUND_IS_UNDEFINED and
TYPE_ARRAY_{LOWER,UPPER}_BOUND_VALUE, except it returns the
`range_bounds` object. The caller is then responsible for getting the
property it needs in it.
I updated all the spots I could find that could take advantage of this.
Note that this also makes `type::bit_stride` work on array types, since
`type::bit_stride` uses `type::bounds`. `my_array_type->bit_stride ()`
now returns the bit stride of the array's index type. So some spots
are also changed to take advantage of this.

Add a new method gdb.Architecture.register_groups which returns a new
object of type gdb.RegisterGroupsIterator. This new iterator then
returns objects of type gdb.RegisterGroup.
Each gdb.RegisterGroup object just wraps a single reggroup pointer,
and (currently) has just one read-only property 'name' that is a
string, the name of the register group.
As with the previous commit (adding gdb.RegisterDescriptor) I made
gdb.RegisterGroup an object rather than just a string in case we want

This commit adds a new method gdb.Architecture.registers that returns
an object of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator. This
iterator returns objects of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptor.
A RegisterDescriptor is not a way to read the value of a register,
this is already covered by Frame.read_register, a RegisterDescriptor
is simply a way to discover from Python, which registers are
available for a given architecture.
I did consider just returning a string, the name of each register,
instead of a RegisterDescriptor, however, I'm aware that it we don't
want to break the existing Python API in any way, so if I return just
a string now, but in the future we want more information about a
register then we would have to add a second API to get that
information. By going straight to a descriptor object now, it is easy
to add additional properties in the future should we wish to.
Right now the only property of a register that a user can access is
the name of the register.
In future we might want to be able to ask the register about is
register groups, or its type.

It could be useful to determine the architecture of a frame being
unwound during the frame unwind process, that is, before we have a
gdb.Frame, but when we only have a gdb.PendingFrame.
The PendingFrame already has a pointer to the gdbarch internally, this
commit just exposes an 'architecture' method to Python, and has this
return a gdb.Architecture object (list gdb.Frame.architecture does).

Currently, a user can define an alias, but cannot have default
arguments for this alias.
This patch modifies the 'alias' command so that default args can
be provided.
(gdb) h alias
Define a new command that is an alias of an existing command.
Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND [DEFAULT-ARGS...]
ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create.
COMMAND is the command being aliased to.
Options:
-a
Specify that ALIAS is an abbreviation of COMMAND.
Abbreviations are not used in command completion..
GDB will automatically prepend the provided DEFAULT-ARGS to the list
of arguments explicitly provided when using ALIAS.
Use "help aliases" to list all user defined aliases and their default args.
Examples:
Make "spe" an alias of "set print elements":
alias spe set print elements
Make "elms" an alias of "elements" in the "set print" command:
alias -a set print elms set print elements
Make "btf" an alias of "backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main" :
alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
Make "wLapPeu" an alias of 2 nested "with":
alias wLapPeu = with language pascal -- with print elements unlimited --
(gdb)
The way 'default-args' is implemented makes it trivial to set default
args also for GDB commands (such as "backtrace") and for GDB pre-defined
aliases (such as "bt"). It was however deemed better to not allow to
define default arguments for pre-defined commands and aliases, to avoid
users believing that e.g. default args for "backtrace" would apply to "bt".
If needed, default-args could be allowed for GDB predefined commands
and aliases by adding a command
'set default-args GDB_COMMAND_OR_PREDEFINED_ALIAS [DEFAULT-ARGS...]'.
* 'alias' command now has a completer that helps to complete:
- ALIAS (if the user defines an alias after a prefix),
- the aliased COMMAND
- the possible options for the aliased COMMAND.
* Help and apropos commands show the definitions of the aliases
that have default arguments, e.g.
(gdb) help backtrace
backtrace, btf, where, bt
alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
Usage: backtrace [OPTION]... [QUALIFIER]... [COUNT | -COUNT]
Options:
-entry-values no|only|preferred|if-needed|both|compact|default
Set printing of function arguments at function entry.

When setting the window title of a tui frame we do this:
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> value
= python_string_to_host_string (<python-object>);
...
win->window->title = value.get ();
The problem here is that 'get ()' only borrows the pointer from value,
when value goes out of scope the pointer will be freed. As a result,
the tui frame will be left with a pointer to undefined memory
contents.
Instead we should be using 'value.release ()' to take ownership of the
pointer from value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-tui.c (gdbpy_tui_set_title): Use release, not get, to
avoid use after free.
Python3.9b1 is now available on Rawhide. GDB w/ Python 3.9 support
can be built using the configure switch -with-python=/usr/bin/python3.9.
Attempting to run gdb/Python3.9 segfaults on startup:
#0 0x00007ffff7b0582c in PyEval_ReleaseLock () from /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0
#1 0x000000000069ccbf in do_start_initialization ()

#3 0x00000000007afb0a in initialize_all_files () at init.c:237
...
Consulting the the documentation...
https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html
...we find that PyEval_ReleaseLock() has been deprecated since version
3.2. It recommends using PyEval_SaveThread or PyEval_ReleaseThread()
instead. In do_start_initialization, in gdb/python/python.c, we
can replace the calls to PyThreadState_Swap() and PyEval_ReleaseLock()
with a single call to PyEval_SaveThread. (Thanks to Keith Seitz
for working this out.)
With that in place, GDB gets a little bit further. It still dies
on startup, but the backtrace is different:

We checked with some Python Developers and were told that we should
acquire the GIL prior to calling any Python C API function. We
definitely don't have the GIL for calls of PyOS_InterruptOccurred().
I moved class_gdbpy_gil earlier in the file and use it in
gdbpy_check_quit_flag() to acquire (and automatically release) the
GIL.
With those changes in place, I was able to run to a GDB prompt. But,
when trying to quit, it segfaulted again due to due to some other
problems with gdbpy_check_quit_flag():
Thread 1 "gdb" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

In this case, we're trying to call a Python C API function after
Py_Finalize() has been called from finalize_python(). I made
finalize_python set gdb_python_initialized to false and then cause
check_quit_flag() to return early when it's false.
With these changes in place, GDB seems to be working again with
Python3.9b1. I think it likely that there are other problems lurking.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are other calls into Python
where we don't first make sure that we have the GIL. Further changes
may well be needed.
I see no regressions testing on Rawhide using a GDB built with the
default Python version (3.8.3) versus one built using Python 3.9b1.
I've also tested on Fedora 28, 29, 30, 31, and 32 (all x86_64) using
the default (though updated) system installed versions of Python on
those OSes. This means that I've tested against Python versions
2.7.15, 2.7.17, 2.7.18, 3.7.7, 3.8.2, and 3.8.3. In each case GDB
still builds without problem and shows no regressions after applying
this patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-MM-DD Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>
Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>
* python/python.c (do_start_initialization): For Python 3.9 and
later, call PyEval_SaveThread instead of PyEval_ReleaseLock.
(class gdbpy_gil): Move to earlier in file.
(finalize_python): Set gdb_python_initialized.
(gdbpy_check_quit_flag): Acquire GIL via gdbpy_gil. Return early
when not initialized.
Replace all uses of it by type::field.
Note that since type::field returns a reference to the field, some spots
are used to assign the whole field structure. See ctfread.c, function
attach_fields_to_type, for example. This is the same as was happening
with the macro, so I don't think it's a problem, but if anybody sees a
really nicer way to do this, now could be a good time to implement it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_FIELD): Remove. Replace all uses with
type::field.
Remove `TYPE_NFIELDS`, changing all the call sites to use
`type::num_fields` directly. This is quite a big diff, but this was
mostly done using sed and coccinelle. A few call sites were done by
hand.
