This patch adds a test case to try to clear an internal python
breakpoint using the clear command.
This was suggested by Pedro during a code review of the following
commit.

gdb: fix using clear command to delete non-user breakpoints(PR cli/7161)
Tested on x86_64 openSUSE Tumbleweed.
The get_maint_bp_addr procedure will be shared by other test suite, so
move it to gdb-utils.exp.
Following Andrew's suggestion, I renamed get_maint_bp_addr to
gdb_get_bp_addr, since it would have handled normal breakpoints in
addition to the internal ones. Note that there is still room for
improvement in this procedure, which I indicated in comments nearby.
When running test-case gdb.cp/cpexprs-debug-types.exp with target board
cc-with-debug-names on a system with gcc 12.1.1 (defaulting to dwarf 5), I
run into:
...
(gdb) file cpexprs-debug-types^M
Reading symbols from cpexprs-debug-types...^M
warning: Section .debug_aranges in cpexprs-debug-types has duplicate \
debug_info_offset 0x0, ignoring .debug_aranges.^M
gdb/dwarf2/read.h:309: internal-error: set_length: \
Assertion `m_length == length' failed.^M
...
The exec contains a .debug_names section, which gdb rejects due to
.debug_names containing a list of TUs, while the exec doesn't contain a
.debug_types section (which is what you'd expect for dwarf 4).
Gdb then falls back onto the cooked index, which calls create_all_comp_units
to create all_comp_units. However, the failed index reading left some
elements in all_comp_units, so we end up with duplicates in all_comp_units,
which causes the misleading complaint and the assert.
Fix this by:
- asserting at the start of create_all_comp_units that all_comp_units is empty,
as we do in create_cus_from_index and create_cus_from_debug_names, and
- cleaning up all_comp_units when failing in dwarf2_read_debug_names.
Add a similar cleanup in dwarf2_read_gdb_index.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29381
Some Ada tests repeat their test sequence with different gnat-encodings,
typically "all" and "minimal". However, they give the same name to both
binaries, meaning the second run overwrites the binary of the first run.
This makes it difficult and confusing when trying to reproduce problems
manually with the test artifacts. Change those tests to use unique
names for each pass.

There are two modification points here:
1. For the debugging of csky architecture, after executing "info register",
we hope to print out GPRs, PC and the registers related to exceptions.
2. With tdesc-xml, users can view the register groups described in XML.
This commit makes use of gdb::checked_static_cast when casting the
generic gdbarch_tdep pointer to a specific sub-class type. This means
that, when compiled in developer mode, GDB will validate that the cast
is correct.
In order to use gdb::checked_static_cast the types involved must have
RTTI, which is why the gdbarch_tdep base class now has a virtual
destructor.
Assuming there are no bugs in GDB where we cast a gdbarch_tdep pointer
to the wrong type, then there should be no changes after this commit.
If any bugs do exist, then GDB will now assert (in a developer build).
I built GDB for all targets on a x86-64/GNU-Linux system, and
then (accidentally) passed GDB a RISC-V binary, and asked GDB to "run"
the binary on the native target. I got this error:
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386").
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.rv32.exe
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.rv32.exe...
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "riscv:rv32").
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/hello.rv32.exe
../../src/gdb/i387-tdep.c:596: internal-error: i387_supply_fxsave: Assertion `tdep->st0_regnum >= I386_ST0_REGNUM' failed.
What's going on here is this; initially the architecture is i386, this
is based on the default architecture, which is set based on the native
target. After loading the RISC-V executable the architecture of the
current inferior is updated based on the architecture of the
executable.
When we "run", GDB does a fork & exec, with the inferior being
controlled through ptrace. GDB sees an initial stop from the inferior
as soon as the inferior comes to life. In response to this stop GDB
ends up calling save_stop_reason (linux-nat.c), which ends up trying
to read register from the inferior, to do this we end up calling
target_ops::fetch_registers, which, for the x86-64 native target,
calls amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers.
After this I eventually end up in i387_supply_fxsave, different x86
based targets will end in different functions to fetch registers, but
it doesn't really matter which function we end up in, the problem is
this line, which is repeated in many places:
i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
The problem here is that the ARCH in this line comes from the current
inferior, which, as we discussed above, will be a RISC-V gdbarch, the
tdep field will actually be of type riscv_gdbarch_tdep, not
i386_gdbarch_tdep. After this cast we are relying on undefined
behaviour, in my case I happen to trigger an assert, but this might
not always be the case.
The thing I tried that exposed this problem was of course, trying to
start an executable of the wrong architecture on a native target. I
don't think that the correct solution for this problem is to detect,
at the point of cast, that the gdbarch_tdep object is of the wrong
type, but, I did wonder, is there a way that we could protect
ourselves from incorrectly casting the gdbarch_tdep object?
I think that there is something we can do here, and this commit is the
first step in that direction, though no actual check is added by this
commit.
This commit can be split into two parts:
(1) In gdbarch.h and arch-utils.c. In these files I have modified
gdbarch_tdep (the function) so that it now takes a template argument,
like this:
template<typename TDepType>
static inline TDepType *
gdbarch_tdep (struct gdbarch *gdbarch)
{
struct gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep_1 (gdbarch);
return static_cast<TDepType *> (tdep);
}
After this change we are no better protected, but the cast is now
done within the gdbarch_tdep function rather than at the call sites,
this leads to the second, much larger change in this commit,
(2) Everywhere gdbarch_tdep is called, we make changes like this:
- i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
+ i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep<i386_gdbarch_tdep> (arch);
There should be no functional change after this commit.
In the next commit I will build on this change to add an assertion in
gdbarch_tdep that checks we are casting to the correct type.
The three targets that implement gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address are
arm, frv, and mips. In each of these targets the adjust breakpoint
address function does some combination of reading the symbol table, or
reading memory at the location the breakpoint could be placed.
The problem is that performing these actions requires that the current
inferior and program space be the one in which the breakpoint will be
placed, and this is not currently always the case.
Consider a GDB session with multiple inferiors. One inferior might be
a native target while another could be a remote target of a completely
different architecture. Alternatively, if we consider ARM and
AArch64, one native inferior might be AArch64, while a second native
inferior could be ARM.
In these cases it is possible, and valid, for a user to have one
inferior selected, and place a breakpoint in the other inferior by
placing a breakpoint on a particular symbol.
If this happens, then currently, when
gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address is called, the wrong inferior (and
program space) will be selected, and memory reads, and symbol look
ups, will not return the expected results, this could lead to
breakpoints being placed in the wrong location.
There are currently two places where gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address
is called:
1. In infrun.c, in the function handle_step_into_function. In this
case, I believe that the correct inferior and program space will
already be selected as this is called as part of the stop event
handling, so I don't think we need to worry about this case, and
2. In breakpoint.c, in the function adjust_breakpoint_address, which
is itself called from code_breakpoint::add_location and
watch_command_1.
The watch_command_1 case I don't think we need to worry about, this
is for when a local watch expression is created, which can only be
in the currently selected inferior, so this case should be fine.
The code_breakpoint::add_location case is the one that needs fixing,
this is what allows a breakpoint to be created between inferiors.
To fix the code_breakpoint::add_location case, I propose that we pass
the "correct" program_space (i.e. the program space in which the
breakpoint will be created) to the adjust_breakpoint_address function.
Then in adjust_breakpoint_address we can make use of
switch_to_program_space_and_thread to switch program_space and
inferior before calling gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address.
I discovered this issue while working on a later patch in this
series. This later patch will detect when we cast the result of
gdbarch_tdep to the wrong type.
With this later patch in place I ran gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp on an
AArch64 target. In this situation, two inferiors are created, an
AArch64 inferior, and an ARM inferior. The test selected the AArch64
inferior and tries to create a breakpoint in the ARM inferior.
As a result of this we end up in arm_adjust_breakpoint_address, which
calls arm_pc_is_thumb. Before this commit the AArch64 inferior would
be current. As a result, all of the checks in arm_pc_is_thumb would
fail (they rely on reading symbols from the current program space),
and so, at the end of arm_pc_is_thumb we would call
arm_frame_is_thumb. However, remember, at this point the current
inferior is the AArch64 inferior, so the current frame is an AArch64
frame.
In arm_frame_is_thumb we call arm_psr_thumb_bit, which calls
gdbarch_tdep and casts the result to arm_gdbarch_tdep. This is wrong,
the tdep field is of type aarch64_gdbarch_tdep. After this we have
undefined behaviour.
With this patch in place, we will have switched to a thread in the ARM
program space before calling arm_adjust_breakpoint_address. As a
result, we now succeed in looking up the required symbols in
arm_pc_is_thumb, and so we never call arm_frame_is_thumb.
However, in the worst case scenario, if we did end up calling
arm_frame_is_thumb, as the current inferior should now be the ARM
inferior, the current frame should be an ARM frame, so we still should
not hit undefined behaviour.
I have added an assert to arm_frame_is_thumb.
This commit is similar to the previous commit, but in this case GDB is
actually relying on undefined behaviour.
Consider building GDB for all targets on x86-64/GNU-Linux, then doing
this:
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is auto.
The 32 bit address mask is set automatically. Currently disabled
(gdb)
The 'show mips mask-address' command ends up in show_mask_address in
mips-tdep.c, and this function does this:
mips_gdbarch_tdep *tdep
= (mips_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (target_gdbarch ());
Later we might pass TDEP to mips_mask_address_p. However, in my
example above, on an x86-64 native target, the current target
architecture will be an x86-64 gdbarch, and the tdep field within the
gdbarch will be of type i386_gdbarch_tdep, not of type
mips_gdbarch_tdep, as a result the cast above was incorrect, and TDEP
is not pointing at what it thinks it is.
I also think the current output is a little confusing, we appear to
have two lines that show the same information, but using different
words.
The first line comes from calling deprecated_show_value_hack, while
the second line is printed directly from show_mask_address. However,
both of these lines are printing the same mask_address_var value. I
don't think the two lines actually adds any value here.
Finally, none of the text in this function is passed through the
internationalisation mechanism.
It would be nice to remove another use of deprecated_show_value_hack
if possible, so this commit does a complete rewrite of
show_mask_address.
After this commit the output of the above example command, still on my
x86-64 native target is:
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is "auto" (current architecture is not MIPS).
The 'current architecture is not MIPS' text is only displayed when the
current architecture is not MIPS. If the architecture is mips then we
get the more commonly seen 'currently "on"' or 'currently "off"', like
this:
(gdb) set architecture mips
The target architecture is set to "mips".
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is "auto" (currently "off").
(gdb)
All the text is passed through the internationalisation mechanism, and
we only call gdbarch_tdep when we know the gdbarch architecture is
bfd_arch_mips.
This is a small refactor to resolve an issue before it becomes a
problem in a later commit.
Move the fetching of an arm_gdbarch_tdep into a more inner scope
within two functions in arm-tdep.c.
The problem with the current code is that the functions in question
are used as the callbacks for two set/show parameters. These set/show
parameters are available no matter the current architecture, but are
really about controlling an ARM architecture specific setting. And
so, if I build GDB for all targets on an x86-64/GNU-Linux system, I
can still do this:
(gdb) show arm fpu
(gdb) show arm abi
After these calls we end up in show_fp_model and arm_show_abi
respectively, where we unconditionally do this:
arm_gdbarch_tdep *tdep
= (arm_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (target_gdbarch ());
However, the gdbarch_tdep() result will only be a arm_gdbarch_tdep if
the current architecture is ARM, otherwise the result will actually be
of some other type.
This isn't actually a problem, as in both cases the use of tdep is
guarded by a later check that the gdbarch architecture is
bfd_arch_arm.
This commit just moves the call to gdbarch_tdep() after the
architecture check.
In a later commit gdbarch_tdep() will be able to spot when we are
casting the result to the wrong type, and this function will trigger
assertion failures if things are not fixed.
There should be not user visible changes after this commit.
All usages of this helper are really made to check if the register is
one of the alternative SP registers (MSP/MSP_S/MSP_NS/PSP/PSP_S/PSP_NS)
with the ARM_SP_REGNUM case being handled separately.

I noticed this code in dw2_debug_names_iterator::next:
...
case DW_IDX_compile_unit:
/* Don't crash on bad data. */
if (ull >= per_bfd->all_comp_units.size ())
{
complaint (_(".debug_names entry has bad CU index %s"
" [in module %s]"),
pulongest (ull),
objfile_name (objfile));
continue;
}
per_cu = per_bfd->get_cu (ull);
break;
...
This code used to DTRT, before we started keeping both CUs and TUs in
all_comp_units.
Fix by using "per_bfd->all_comp_units.size () - per_bfd->tu_stats.nr_tus"
instead.
It's hard to produce a test-case for this, but let's try at least to trigger
the complaint somehow. We start out by creating an exec with .debug_types and
.debug_names:
...
$ gcc -g ~/hello.c -fdebug-types-section
$ gdb-add-index -dwarf-5 a.out
...
and verify that we don't see any complaints:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -iex "set complaints 100" ./a.out
...
We look at the CU and TU table using readelf -w and conclude that we have
nr_cus == 6 and nr_tus == 1.
Now override ull in dw2_debug_names_iterator::next for the DW_IDX_compile_unit
case to 6, and we have:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -iex "set complaints 100" ./a.out
During symbol reading: .debug_names entry has bad CU index 6 [in module a.out]
...
After this, it still crashes because this code in
dw2_debug_names_iterator::next:
...
/* Skip if already read in. */
if (m_per_objfile->symtab_set_p (per_cu))
goto again;
...
is called with per_cu == nullptr.
Fix this by skipping the entry if per_cu == nullptr.
Now revert the fix and observe that the complaint disappears, so we've
confirmed that the fix is required.
A somewhat similar issue for .gdb_index in dw2_symtab_iter_next has been filed
as PR29367.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with native and target board cc-with-debug-names.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29336
Python 3.11 deprecates PySys_SetPath and Py_SetProgramName. The
PyConfig API replaces these and other functions. This commit uses the
PyConfig API to provide equivalent functionality while also preserving
support for older versions of Python, i.e. those before Python 3.8.
A beta version of Python 3.11 is available in Fedora Rawhide. Both
Fedora 35 and Fedora 36 use Python 3.10, while Fedora 34 still used
Python 3.9. I've tested these changes on Fedora 34, Fedora 36, and
rawhide, though complete testing was not possible on rawhide due to
a kernel bug. That being the case, I decided to enable the newer
PyConfig API by testing PY_VERSION_HEX against 0x030a0000. This
corresponds to Python 3.10.
We could try to use the PyConfig API for Python versions as early as 3.8,
but I'm reluctant to do this as there may have been PyConfig related
bugs in earlier versions which have since been fixed. Recent linux
distributions should have support for Python 3.10. This should be
more than adequate for testing the new Python initialization code in
GDB.
Information about the PyConfig API as well as the motivation behind
deprecating the old interface can be found at these links:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/88279https://peps.python.org/pep-0587/https://docs.python.org/3.11/c-api/init_config.html
The v2 commit also addresses several problems that Simon found in
the v1 version.
In v1, I had used Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization
code, but Simon pointed out that this global configuration variable
will be deprecated in Python 3.12. This version of the patch no longer
uses Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization code.
Additionally, both Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag and Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag
will no longer be used when building GDB against Python 3.10 or higher.
While it's true that both of these global configuration variables are
deprecated in Python 3.12, it makes sense to disable their use for
gdb builds against 3.10 and higher since those are the versions for
which the PyConfig API is now being used by GDB. (The PyConfig API
includes different mechanisms for making the same settings afforded
by use of the soon-to-be deprecated global configuration variables.)
Simon also noted that PyConfig_Clear() would not have be called for
one of the failure paths. I've fixed that problem and also made the
rest of the "bail out" code more direct. In particular,
PyConfig_Clear() will always be called, both for success and failure.
The v3 patch addresses some rebase conflicts related to module
initialization . Commit 3acd9a692d ("Make 'import gdb.events' work")
uses PyImport_ExtendInittab instead of PyImport_AppendInittab. That
commit also initializes a struct for each module to import. Both the
initialization and the call to were moved ahead of the ifdefs to avoid
having to replicate (at least some of) the code three times in various
portions of the ifdefs.

In all-stop mode, when the target is itself in non-stop mode (like
GNU/Linux), if you use the "step N" (or "stepi/next/nexti N") to step
a thread a number of times:
(gdb) help step
step, s
Step program until it reaches a different source line.
Usage: step [N]
Argument N means step N times (or till program stops for another reason).
... GDB prematurely stops all threads after the first step, and
doesn't re-resume them for the subsequent N-1 steps. It's as if for
the 2nd and subsequent steps, the command was running with
scheduler-locking enabled.
This can be observed with the testcase added by this commit, which
looks like this:
static pthread_barrier_t barrier;
static void *
thread_func (void *arg)
{
pthread_barrier_wait (&barrier);
return NULL;
}
int
main ()
{
pthread_t thread;
int ret;
pthread_barrier_init (&barrier, NULL, 2);
/* We run to this line below, and then issue "next 3". That should
step over the 3 lines below and land on the return statement. If
GDB prematurely stops the thread_func thread after the first of
the 3 nexts (and never resumes it again), then the join won't
ever return. */
pthread_create (&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL); /* set break here */
pthread_barrier_wait (&barrier);
pthread_join (thread, NULL);
return 0;
}
The test hangs and times out without the GDB fix:
(gdb) next 3
[New Thread 0x7ffff7d89700 (LWP 525772)]
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-N-all-progress.exp: non-stop=off: target-non-stop=on: next 3 (timeout)
The problem is a core gdb bug.
When you do "step/stepi/next/nexti N", GDB internally creates a
thread_fsm object and associates it with the stepping thread. For the
stepping commands, the FSM's class is step_command_fsm. That object
is what keeps track of how many steps are left to make. When one step
finishes, handle_inferior_event calls stop_waiting and returns, and
then fetch_inferior_event calls the "should_stop" method of the event
thread's FSM. The implementation of that method decrements the
steps-left counter. If the counter is 0, it returns true and we
proceed to presenting the stop to the user. If it isn't 0 yet, then
the method returns false, indicating to fetch_inferior_event to "keep
going".
Focusing now on when the first step finishes -- we're in "all-stop"
mode, with the target in non-stop mode. When a step finishes,
handle_inferior_event calls stop_waiting, which itself calls
stop_all_threads to stop everything. I.e., after the first step
completes, all threads are stopped, before handle_inferior_event
returns. And after that, now in fetch_inferior_event, we consult the
thread's thread_fsm::should_stop, which as we've seen, for the first
step returns false -- i.e., we need to keep_going for another step.
However, since the target is in non-stop mode, keep_going resumes
_only_ the current thread. All the other threads remain stopped,
inadvertently.
If the target is in non-stop mode, we don't actually need to stop all
threads right after each step finishes, and then re-resume them again.
We can instead defer stopping all threads until all the steps are
completed.
So fix this by delaying the stopping of all threads until after we
called the FSM's "should_stop" method. I.e., move it from
stop_waiting, to handle_inferior_events's callers,
fetch_inferior_event and wait_for_inferior.
New test included. Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux native and gdbserver.

Teach GDB how to dump memory tags for AArch64 when using the gcore command
and how to read memory tag data back from a core file generated by GDB
(via gcore) or by the Linux kernel.
The format is documented in the Linux Kernel documentation [1].
Each tagged memory range (listed in /proc/<pid>/smaps) gets dumped to its
own PT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_MTE segment. A section named ".memtag" is created for each
of those segments when reading the core file back.
To save a little bit of space, given MTE tags only take 4 bits, the memory tags
are stored packed as 2 tags per byte.
When reading the data back, the tags are unpacked.
I've added a new testcase to exercise the feature.
Build-tested with --enable-targets=all and regression tested on aarch64-linux
Ubuntu 20.04.
[1] Documentation/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst (Core Dump Support)
Newer distros carry newer headers that contains MTE definitions. Account
for that fact in the MTE testcases (gdb.arch/aarch64-mte.exp) and define
constants conditionally to prevent compilation failures.
Currently, Python code can use event registries to detect when gdb
loads a new objfile, and when gdb clears the objfile list. However,
there's no way to detect the removal of an objfile, say when the
inferior calls dlclose.
This patch adds a gdb.free_objfile event registry and arranges for an
event to be emitted in this case.
I noticed that gdb.base/bt-on-fatal-signal.exp was contributing four
core files to the count of unexpected core files:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.base/bt-on-fatal-signal.exp"
=== gdb Summary ===
# of unexpected core files 4
# of expected passes 21
These are GDB core dumps. They are expected, however, because the
whole point of the testcase is to crash GDB with a signal.
Make GDB change its current directory to the output dir just before
crashing, so that the core files end up there. The result is now:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 25
and:
$ find . -name "core.*"

Currently the Ada code assumes that it can distinguish between a
multi-dimensional array and an array of arrays by looking for an
intervening typedef -- that is, for an array of arrays, there will be
a typedef wrapping the innermost array type.
A recent compiler change removes this typedef, which causes a gdb
failure in the internal AdaCore test suite.
This patch handles this case by checking whether the array type in
question has a name.
This patch removes ui_register_input_event_handler and
ui_unregister_input_event_handler, replacing them with methods on
'ui'. It also changes gdb to use these methods everywhere, rather
than sometimes reaching in to the ui to manage the file descriptor
directly.
In commit 9d9dd861e9 ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix regression in
step-indirect-call-thunk.exp with gcc 7") I accidentally committed a duplicate
of supports_gnuc, which caused:
...
DUPLICATE: gdb.base/gdb-caching-proc.exp: supports_gnuc: consistency
...
Fix this by removing the duplicate.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
It is possible that a system might have a python3 executable, but no
python executable. For example, on my Fedora system the python2
package provides /usr/bin/python2, the python3 package provides
/usr/bin/python3, and the python-unversioned-command package provides
/usr/bin/python, which picks between python2 and python3.
It is quite possible to only have python3 available on a system.
Currently, when GDB configures, it looks for a 'python' executable.
If non is found then GDB will be built without python support. Or the
user needs to configure using --with-python=/usr/bin/python3.
This commit updates GDB's configure.ac script to first look for
'python', and then 'python3'. Now, on a system that only has a
python3 executable, GDB will automatically find, and use that in order
to provide python support, no user supplied configure arguments are
needed.
I've tested this on my local machine by removing the
python-unversioned-command package, confirming that there is no longer
a 'python' executable in my $PATH, and then rebuilding GDB from
scratch. GDB with this patch has python support.
Use set_sanitizer_default for ASAN_OPTIONS in lib/gdb.exp.
This allows us to override the default detect_leaks=0 setting, by manually
doing:
...
$ export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1
$ make check
...
Tested on x86_64-linux, by building with -fsanitize=address and running
test-case gdb.dwarf2/gdb-add-index.exp with and without
"export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1".
Since commit 43127ae571 ("Fix gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp") I run
into:
...
gdb compile failed, gcc: error: unrecognized command line option \
'-fcf-protection=none'; did you mean '-flto-partition=none'?
UNTESTED: gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp: failed to prepare
...
The problem is that -fcf-protection is supported starting gcc 8, but I'm using
system gcc 7.5.0.
Fix this by only adding -fcf-protection=none for gcc 8 and later.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc 7.5.0, 8.2.1 and 12.1.1.
Since commit c4a3dbaf11 ("Expose current 'print' settings to Python") we
have:
...
(gdb) print /x $bnd0 = {0x10, 0x20}^M
$22 = {lbound = 0x10, ubound = 0x20} : size 0x11^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-mpx.exp: verify size for bnd0
...
The regexp in the test-case expects "size 17".
Fix this by updating the regexp.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
gdb-add-index runs gdb with -iex 'set debuginfod enabled off'. If gdb
is not compiled against libdebuginfod this causes an unnecessary error
message to be printed to stderr indicating that gdb was not built with
debuginfod support.
Fix this by changing the 'set debuginfod enabled off' command to a
no-op when gdb isn't built with libdebuginfod.
gdb.base/maint.exp was using several gdb_expect statements, probably
because this test case predates the existance of gdb_test_multiple. This
commit updates the test case to use gdb_test_multiple, making it more
resilient to internal errors and such.
The only gdb_expect left in the testcase is one that specifically looks
for an internal error being triggered as a PASS.
When I rebased and updated the print_options patch, I forgot to update
print_options to add the new 'nibbles' feature to the result. This
patch fixes the oversight. I'm checking this in.
The test gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp fails on a gdb assert
in function ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in file gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The
assert is due to the missing IEEE 128-bit support in file
gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c.
The IBM long double was the initial float 128-bit support added by IBM
The IEEE 128-bit support, which is similar IBM long double support, was
made the default starting with GCC 12. The floating point format
differences include the number of bits used to encode the exponent
and significand. Also, IBM long double values are passed in a pair of
floating point registers. The IEEE 128-bit value is passed in a single
vector register.
This patch fixes the gdb_assert (ok); in function
ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c by adding IEEE FLOAT
128-bit type support for PowerPC.
The patch has been tested on Power 10, ELFv2. It fixes the following list
of regression failures on Power 10:
gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp 192
gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp 76
gdb.base/structs.exp 9
The patch has been tested on Power 8 BE which is ELFv1.
This adds a 'summary' mode to Value.format_string and to
gdb.print_options. For the former, it lets Python code format values
using this mode. For the latter, it lets a printer potentially detect
if it is being called in a backtrace with 'set print frame-arguments'
set to 'scalars'.
I considered adding a new mode here to let a pretty-printer see
whether it was being called in a 'backtrace' context at all, but I'm
not sure if this is really desirable.
PR python/17291 asks for access to the current print options. While I
think this need is largely satisfied by the existence of
Value.format_string, it seemed to me that a bit more could be done.
First, while Value.format_string uses the user's settings, it does not
react to temporary settings such as "print/x". This patch changes
this.
Second, there is no good way to examine the current settings (in
particular the temporary ones in effect for just a single "print").
This patch adds this as well.

Disable the Traceback Table generation on PowerPC for this test. The
Traceback Table consists of a series of bit fields to indicate things like
the Traceback Table version, language, and specific information about the
function. The Traceback Table is generated following the end of the code
for every function by default. The Traceback Table is defined in the
PowerPC ELF ABI and is intended to support debuggers and exception
handlers. The Traceback Table is displayed in the disassembly of functions
by default and is part of the function length. The table is typically
interpreted by the disassembler as data represented by .long xxx entries.
Generation of the Traceback Table is disabled in this test using the
PowerPC specific gcc compiler option -mtraceback=no, the xlc option
additional_flags-qtable=none and the clang optons
-mllvm -xcoff-traceback-table=false. Disabling the Traceback Table
generation in this test results in the gdb_test_multiple statement
correctly locating the address of the bclr instruction before the statement
"End of assembler dump." in the disassembly output.

A WIP version of a patch

(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: only thread 3 left, main thread terminated
Somehow, above, GDB re-added the zombie leader back before printing
"No unwaited-for children left.". The "only thread 3 left, main
thread terminated" test should have caught this, but didn't. That is
because the test's regexp has a ".*" after the part that matches
thread 3. This commit tightens that regexp to catch such a bug. It
also tightens the "only main thread left, thread 2 terminated" test's
regexp in the same way.
