Add the `fields` and `set_fields` methods on `struct type`, in order to
remove the `TYPE_FIELDS` macro. In this patch, the `TYPE_FIELDS` macro
is changed to the `type::fields`, so all the call sites that use it to
set the fields array are changed to use `type::set_fields`. The next
patch will remove `TYPE_FIELDS` entirely.

Add the `num_fields` and `set_num_fields` methods on `struct type`, in
order to remove the `TYPE_NFIELDS` macro. In this patch, the
`TYPE_NFIELDS` macro is changed to use `type::num_fields`, so all the

`type::set_num_fields`. The next patch will remove `TYPE_NFIELDS`
completely.
I think that in the future, we should consider making the interface of
`struct type` better. For example, right now it's possible for the
number of fields property and the actual number of fields set to be out
of sync. However, I want to keep the existing behavior in this patch,
just translate from macros to methods.

ada-lang.c has a "bound_name" static that is used when finding fields
in a structure in some cases. This patch removes it in favor of
computing the desired field name at runtime; this avoids an artificial
limit.

internal AdaCore test suite.

The purpose of this patch is to prepare for the future where
fixed point types become described using standard DWARF info,
rather than GNAT encodings. For that, we rename a number of
routines manipulating Ada fixed point types to make it explicit
from their new names that they rely on the GNAT encodings to work.
This will allow us, when we introduce support for fixed point types
from standard DWARF to use names that are not ambiguous with
the functions that do similar work, but only for GNAT encodings.

I recently noticed the align_value function in ada-lang.c. This can

The val_print removal patches introduced an Ada regression on PPC64
(probably any big-endian system).
The issue comes because value_field does not understand that Ada
wrapper fields can be bitfields that wrap a non-scalar type. In this
case the value is already left-justified, so the justification done
there does the wrong thing.
Perhaps it would be good, eventually, to change value_field to
understand this case. In the meantime this implements an Ada-specific
solution.

When evaluating a DWARF expression, the dynamic type resolution code
will pass in a buffer of bytes via the property_addr_info. However,
the DWARF expression evaluator will then proceed to read memory from
the inferior, even when the request could be filled from this buffer.
This, in turn, is a problem in some cases; and specifically when
trying to handle the Ada scenario of extracting a variable-length
value from a packed array. Here, the ordinary DWARF expression cannot
be directly evaluated, because the data may appear at some arbitrary
bit offset. So, it is unpacked into a staging area and then the
expression is evaluated -- using an address of 0.
This patch fixes the problem by arranging for the DWARF evaluator, in
this case, to prefer passed-in memory when possible. The type of the
buffer in the property_addr_info is changed to an array_view so that
bounds checking can be done.

Currently there are many prefix commands that do nothing but call
either help_list or cmd_show_list. I happened to notice that one such
call, for "set print type", used the wrong command list parameter,
causing incorrect output.
Rather than fix this bug in isolation, I decided to eliminate this
possibility by adding two new ways to add prefix commands, which
simply route the call to help_list or cmd_show_list, as appropriate.
This makes it impossible for a mismatch to occur.
In some cases, a bit of output was removed; however, I don't think
this output in general was very useful. It seemed redundant with
what's already printed by help_list. A representative example is this
hunk, removed from ada-lang.c:
- printf_unfiltered (_(\
-"\"set ada\" must be followed by the name of a setting.\n"));
This simplified the CLI style set/show commands quite a bit, and
allowed the deletion of a macro.
This also cleans up some unusual code in windows-tdep.c.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 30. Note that I have no way to build the
go32-nat.c change.

lookup_name_info always copies the name that is passed in. However,
normally a copy is not needed. This patch changes this class to avoid
copying. This required changing the "name" method to return something
else; I chose a gdb::string_view, to avoid excessive calls to strlen
in the code using the lookup_name_info. However, as this class does
not allow an arbitrary string_view, I've also added a c_str method
that guarantees a \0-terminated result -- a pedantic difference but
one that respects the string_view contract, IMO.

The plan for removing val_print is, essentially, to first duplicate

From what I can tell, set_gdbarch_bits_big_endian has never been used.
That is, all architectures since its introduction have simply used the
default, which is simply check the architecture's byte-endianness.
Because this interferes with the scalar_storage_order code, this patch
removes this gdbarch setting entirely. In some places,
type_byte_order is used rather than the plain gdbarch.

- Rationale:
It is possible for compilers to indicate the desired byte order
interpretation of scalar variables using the DWARF attribute:
DW_AT_endianity
A type flagged with this variable would typically use one of:
DW_END_big
DW_END_little
which instructs the debugger what the desired byte order interpretation
of the variable should be.
The GCC compiler (as of V6) has a mechanism for setting the desired byte
ordering of the fields within a structure or union. For, example, on a
little endian target, a structure declared as:
struct big {
int v;
short a[4];
} __attribute__( ( scalar_storage_order( "big-endian" ) ) );
could be used to ensure all the structure members have a big-endian
interpretation (the compiler would automatically insert byte swap
instructions before and after respective store and load instructions).
- To reproduce
GCC V8 is required to correctly emit DW_AT_endianity DWARF attributes
in all situations when the scalar_storage_order attribute is used.
A fix for (dwarf endianity instrumentation) for GCC V6-V7 can be found
in the URL field of the following PR:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82509
- Test-case:
A new test case (testsuite/gdb.base/endianity.*) is included with this
patch.
Manual testing for mixed endianity code has also been done with GCC V8.

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82509#c4
- Observed vs. expected:
Without this change, using scalar_storage_order that doesn't match the
target, such as
struct otherendian
{
int v;
} __attribute__( ( scalar_storage_order( "big-endian" ) ) );
would behave like the following on a little endian target:
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401135: file endianity.c, line 41.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/pjoot/freeware/t/a.out
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.17-292.el7.x86_64
Breakpoint 1, main () at endianity.c:41
41 struct otherendian o = {3};
(gdb) n
43 do_nothing (&o); /* START */
(gdb) p o
$1 = {v = 50331648}
(gdb) p /x
$2 = {v = 0x3000000}
whereas with this gdb enhancement we can access the variable with the user
specified endianity:
Breakpoint 1, main () at endianity.c:41
41 struct otherendian o = {3};
(gdb) p o
$1 = {v = 0}
(gdb) n
43 do_nothing (&o); /* START */
(gdb) p o
$2 = {v = 3}
(gdb) p o.v = 4
$3 = 4
(gdb) p o.v
$4 = 4
(gdb) x/4xb &o.v
0x7fffffffd90c: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x04
(observe that the 4 byte int variable has a big endian representation in the
hex dump.)

This changes command_line_input to return a "const char *", which is
appropriate because the memory is owned by command_line_input. Then
it fixes up the users.
I looked at making command_line_input transfer ownership to its caller
instead, but this is complicated due to the way read_next_line is
called, so I decided against it.
Tested by rebuilding.

This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the
Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception
currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more
fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the
existing "catch" syntax.
This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint
must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper
functions.

commit 2ff0a9473 (Fix "catch exception" with dynamic linking) changed
how ada-lang.c creates expressions to determine if an exception
catchpoint should stop.
That patch is no longer needed now that copy relocations are handled
more directly.

In ELF, if a data symbol is defined in a shared library and used by
the main program, it will be subject to a "copy relocation". In this
scenario, the main program has a copy of the symbol in question, and a
relocation that tells ld.so to copy the data from the shared library.
Then the symbol in the main program is used to satisfy all references.
This patch changes gdb to handle this scenario. Data symbols coming
from ELF shared libraries get a special flag that indicates that the
symbol's address may be subject to copy relocation.
I looked briefly into handling copy relocations by looking at the
actual relocations in the main program, but this seemed difficult to
do with BFD.
Note that no caching is done here. Perhaps this could be changed if
need be; I wanted to avoid possible problems with either objfile
lifetimes and changes, or conflicts with the long-term (vapor-ware)
objfile splitting project.

This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

In Ada, the programmer can request that a range type with a non-zero
base be stored in the minimal number of bits required for the range.
This is done by biasing the values; so, for example, a range of -7..-4
may be stored as two bits with a bias of -7.
This patch implements this for gdb. It is done by adding a bias to
struct range_bounds and then adjusting a few spots to handle this.
The test case is written to use -fgnat-encodings=minimal, but a future
compiler patch will change the compiler to emit DW_AT_GNU_bias with
-fgnat-encodings=gdb. It seemed good to get the gdb patch in first.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29; plus a variety of targets using AdaCore's
internal test suite.

With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-08-07 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* cli/cli-decode.h (print_doc_line): Add for_value_prefix argument.
* cli/cli-decode.c (print_doc_line): Likewise. It now prints
the full first line, except when FOR_VALUE_PREFIX. In this case,
the trailing '.' is not output, and the first character is uppercased.
(print_help_for_command): Update call to print_doc_line.
(print_doc_of_command): Likewise.
* cli/cli-setshow.c (deprecated_show_value_hack): Likewise.
* cli/cli-option.c (append_indented_doc): Do not append newline.
(build_help_option): Append newline after first appended_indented_doc
only if a second call is done.
(build_help): Append 2 new lines before each option, except the first
one.
* compile/compile.c (_initialize_compile): Add new lines after
%OPTIONS%, when not at the end of the help.
Change help doc or code
producing the help doc to respect the invariants.
* maint-test-options.c (_initialize_maint_test_options): Likewise.
Also removed the new line after 'Options:', as all other commands
do not put an empty line between 'Options:' and the first option.
* printcmd.c (_initialize_printcmd): Likewise.
* stack.c (_initialize_stack): Likewise.

* gdb.base/style.exp: Update tests for help doc new invariants.
* gdb.base/help.exp: Likewise.
A new pair of hooks used by Ada exception handlers, for correct
release of reraised exception occurrences, involves the introduction
of new v1 symbols that GDB should use when available. The older, v0
ABI remains available in newer runtimes for bootstrapping purposes
only.
for gdb/ChangeLog
* ada-lang.c (exception_support_info_v0): Renamed from...
(default_exception_support_info): ... this. Create new
definition for v1.
(ada_has_this_exception_support): Look up catch_handlers_sym.
(ada_exception_support_info_sniffer): Try v0 after default.
