This commit changes the language_data::la_demangle function pointer
member variable into a member function of language_defn.
The only slightly "weird" change in this commit is in f-lang.c, where
I have given the Fortran language a demangle method that is identical
to the default language_defn::demangle. The only reason for this is
to give me somewhere to copy the comment that was previously embedded
within the f_language_data structure.

This commit changes the language_data::la_sniff_from_mangled_name
function pointer member variable into a member function of
language_defn.
Previously the la_sniff_from_mangled_name pointer was NULL for some
languages, however, all uses of this function pointer were through the
function language_sniff_from_mangled_name which provided a default
implementation.
This default implementation now becomes the implementation in the base
class language_defn, which is then overridden as required in various
language sub-classes.

This commit changes the language_data::la_get_compile_instance
function pointer member variable into a member function of
language_defn. Unlike previous commits converting fields of
language_data to member function in language_defn, this field is NULL
for some languages. As a result I had to change the API slightly so
that the base language_defn class provides an implementation.

This commit changes the language_data::la_pass_by_reference function
pointer member variable into a member function of language_defn.
The interesting thing in this commit is that I have removed the
default_pass_by_reference function entirely. This function only ever
returned a language_pass_by_ref_info struct in its default state, so
all uses of this function can be replaced by just default
initialisation of a language_pass_by_ref_info variable.

This commit changes the language_data::la_read_var_value function
pointer member variable into a member function of language_defn.
An interesting aspect of this change is that the implementation of
language_defn::read_var_value is actually in findvar.c. This is
partly historical, the new language_defn::read_var_value is a rename
of default_read_var_value, which was already in that file, but also,
that is the file that contains the helper functions needed by the
read_var_value method, so it makes sens that the method implementation
should continue to live there (I think).

This commit converts all languages to sub-classes of a language_defn
base class.
The motivation for this change is to make it easier to add new methods
onto languages without having to update all of the individual language
structures. In the future it might be possible to move more things,
like expression parsing, into the language class(es) for better
encapsulation, however I have no plans to tackle this in the short
term.
This commit sets up a strategy for transitioning from the current
language system, where each language is an instance of the
language_defn structure, to the class hierarchy system.
The plan is to rename the existing language_defn into language_data,
and make this a base class for the new language_defn class, something
like this:
struct language_data
{
... old language_defn fields here ...
};
struct language_defn : public language_data
{
language_defn (const language_data d)
: language_data (d)
{ .... }
};
Then each existing language, for example ada_language_defn can be
converted into an instance of language_data, and passed into the
constructor of a new language class, something like this:
language_data ada_language_data =
{
... old ada_language_defn values here ...
};
struct ada_language : public language_defn
{
ada_language (ada_language_data)
{ .... }
};
What this means is that immediately after the conversion nothing much
changes. Every language is now its own class, but all the old
language fields still exist and can be accessed in the same way.
In later commits I will convert function pointers from the old
language_defn structure into real class methods on language_defn, with
overrides on sub-classes where needed.
At this point I imagine that those fields of the old language_defn
structure that contained only data will probably remain as data fields
within the new language_data base structure, it is only the methods
that I plan to change initially.
I tweaked how we manage the list of languages a bit, each language is
now registered as it is created, and this resulted in a small number
of changes in language.c.
Most of the changes in the *-lang.c files are identical.

This introduces c_value_print_inner, which implements the
la_value_print_inner method for the C family of languages. In this
patch, it is just a simple wrapper of c_val_print. However,
subsequent patches will convert it to use the value API. The
transformation is done this way to make each patch easier to review.
Future patches will apply this same treatment to other languages as
well.

* opencl-lang.c (opencl_language_defn): Use c_value_print_inner.

The plan for removing val_print is, essentially, to first duplicate
printing code as needed to use the value API; and then remove the
val_print code. This makes it possible to do the changes
incrementally while keeping everything working.
This adds a new la_value_print_inner function pointer to struct
language_defn. Eventually this will replace la_val_print. This patch
also changes printing to prefer this API, when available -- but no
language defines it yet.

The la_get_string member of struct language_defn was intended to
provide a way to fetch string data from a "string" object in a
language-dependent way. However, it turned out that this was never
needed, and was only ever implemented for C. This patch removes the
language hook entirely.

This commit is preparation work for the next commit, and by itself
makes no user visible change to GDB. I've split this work into a
separate commit in order to make code review easier.
This commit adds a new field 'la_is_string_type_p' to the language
struct, this predicate will return true if a type is a string type for
the given language.
Some languages already have a "is this a string" predicate that I was
able to reuse, while for other languages I've had to add a new
predicate. In this case I took inspiration from the value printing
code for that language - what different conditions would result in
printing something as a string.
A default "is this a string" method has also been added that looks for
TYPE_CODE_STRING, this is the fallback I've used for a couple of
languages.
In this commit I add the new field and initialise it for each
language, however at this stage the new field is never used.

This commit is preparation work for a later commit, and by itself
makes no user visible change to GDB. I've split this work into a
separate commit in order to make code review easier.
This commit adds a new field 'la_struct_too_deep_ellipsis' to the
language struct, this string will be used in the next commit to print
a language specific string from within the generic value printing
code.
In this commit I add the new field and initialise it for each
language, however at this stage the new field is never used.

The language_defn structure has an la_magic field, this used to be
used as a basic check that the language_defn structure had the
expected layout - at least the end of the structure was where we
expected it to be.
This feature only really makes sense if we imagine GDB dynamically
loading language support from dynamic libraries, where a version
mismatch might cause problems.
However, in current GDB language support is statically built into GDB,
and since this commit:
commit 47e77640be
Date: Thu Jul 20 18:28:01 2017 +0100
Make language_def O(1)
the existing (if pointless) check of the la_magic field was removed.
There now appears to be no use of the la_magic field, and I propose
that we delete it.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

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.
This replaces a few uses of pointer+length with gdb::array_view, in
call_function_by_hand and related code.
Unfortunately, due to -Wnarrowing, there are places where we can't
brace-initialize an gdb::array_view without an ugly-ish cast. To
avoid the cast, this patch introduces a gdb::make_array_view function.
Unit tests included.
This patch in isolation may not look so interesting, due to
gdb::make_array_view uses, but I think it's still worth it. Some of
the gdb::make_array_view calls disappear down the series, and others
could be eliminated with more (non-trivial) gdb::array_view
detangling/conversion (e.g. code around eval_call). See this as a "we
have to start somewhere" patch.

While working on the parser code, I noticed that yyerror is exported
from each parser. It is used by this code in parse.c:
TRY
{
if (lang->la_parser (&ps))
lang->la_error (NULL);
}
However, it seems to me that la_error will never be called here,
because in every case, la_parser throws an exception on error -- each
implementation of yyerror just calls error.
So, this patch removes la_error and makes all the yyerror functions
static. This is handy primarily because it makes it simpler to make
the expression parsers pure.
Tested by the buildbot.

This patch fixes a known failure in gdb.ada/maint_with_ada.exp
(maintenance check-psymtabs). Another way to witness the same
issue is by considering the following Ada declarations...
type Wrapper is record
A : Integer;
end record;
u00045 : constant Wrapper := (A => 16#060287af#);
pragma Export (C, u00045, "symada__cS");
... which declares a variable name "u00045" but with a linkage
name which is "symada__cS". This variable is a record with one
component, the Ada equivalent of a struct with one field in C.
Trying to print that variable's value currently yields:
(gdb) p /x <symada__cS>
'symada(char, signed)' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
This indicates that GDB was only able to find the minimal symbol,
but not the full symbol. The expected output is:
(gdb) print /x <symada__cS>
$1 = (a => 0x60287af)
The error message gives a hint about what's happening: We processed
the symbol through gdb_demangle, which in the case of this particular
symbol name, ends up matching the C++ naming scheme. As a result,
the demangler transforms our symbol name into 'symada(char, signed)',
thus breaking Ada lookups.
This patch fixes the issue by first introducing a new language_defn
attribute called la_store_sym_names_in_linkage_form_p, which is a boolean
to be set to true for the few languages that do not want their symbols
to have their names stored in demangled form, and false otherwise.
We then use this language attribute to skip the call to gdb_demangle
for all languages whose la_store_sym_names_in_linkage_form_p is true.
In terms of the selection of languages for which the new attribute
is set to true, the selection errs on the side of preserving the
existing behavior, and only changes the behavior for the languages
where we are certain storing symbol names in demangling form is not
needed. It is conceivable that other languages might be in the same
situation, but I not knowing in detail the symbol name enconding
strategy, I decided to play it safe and let other language maintainers
potentially adjust their language if it makes sense to do so.

Summary:
- This is preparation for supporting wild name matching on C++ too.
- This is also preparation for TAB-completion fixes.
- Makes symbol name matching (think strcmp_iw) be based on a per-language method.
- Merges completion and non-completion name comparison (think
language_ops::la_get_symbol_name_cmp generalized).
- Avoid re-hashing lookup name multiple times
- Centralizes preparing a name for lookup (Ada name encoding / C++ Demangling),
both completion and non-completion.
- Fixes Ada latent bug with verbatim name matches in expressions
- Makes ada-lang.c use common|symtab.c completion code a bit more.
Ada's wild matching basically means that
"(gdb) break foo"
will find all methods named "foo" in all packages. Translating to
C++, it's roughly the same as saying that "break klass::method" sets
breakpoints on all "klass::method" methods of all classes, no matter
the namespace. A following patch will teach GDB about fullname vs
wild matching for C++ too. This patch is preparatory work to get
there.
Another idea here is to do symbol name matching based on the symbol
language's algorithm. I.e., avoid dependency on current language set.
This allows for example doing
(gdb) b foo::bar< int > (<tab>
and having gdb name match the C++ symbols correctly even if the
current language is C or Assembly (or Rust, or Ada, or ...), which can
easily happen if you step into an Assembly/C runtime library frame.
By encapsulating all the information related to a lookup name in a
class, we can also cache hash computation for a given language in the
lookup name object, to avoid recomputing it over and over.
Similarly, because we don't really know upfront which languages the
lookup name will be matched against, for each language we store the
lookup name transformed into a search name. E.g., for C++, that means
demangling the name. But for Ada, it means encoding the name. This
actually forces us to centralize all the different lookup name
encoding in a central place, resulting in clearer code, IMO. See
e.g., the new ada_lookup_name_info class.
The lookup name -> symbol search name computation is also done only
once per language.
The old language->la_get_symbol_name_cmp / symbol_name_cmp_ftype are
generalized to work with both completion, and normal symbol look up.
At some point early on, I had separate completion vs non-completion
language vector entry points, but a single method ends up being better
IMO for simplifying things -- the more we merge the completion /
non-completion name lookup code paths, the less changes for bugs
causing completion vs normal lookup finding different symbols.
The ada-lex.l change is necessary because when doing
(gdb) p <UpperCase>
then the name that is passed to write_ write_var_or_type ->
ada_lookup_symbol_list misses the "<>", i.e., it's just "UpperCase",
and we end up doing a wild match against "UpperCase" lowercased by
ada_lookup_name_info's constructor. I.e., "uppercase" wouldn't ever
match "UpperCase", and the symbol lookup fails.
This wouldn't cause any regression in the testsuite, but I added a new
test that would pass before the patch and fail after, if it weren't
for that fix.
This is latent bug that happens to go unnoticed because that
particular path was inconsistent with the rest of Ada symbol lookup by
not lowercasing the lookup name.
Ada's symbol_completion_add is deleted, replaced by using common
code's completion_list_add_name. To make the latter work for Ada, we
needed to add a new output parameter, because Ada wants to return back
a custom completion candidates that are not the symbol name.
With this patch, minimal symbol demangled name hashing is made
consistent with regular symbol hashing. I.e., it now goes via the
language vector's search_name_hash method too, as I had suggested in a
previous patch.
dw2_expand_symtabs_matching / .gdb_index symbol names were a
challenge. The problem is that we have no way to telling what is the
language of each symbol name found in the index, until we expand the
corresponding full symbol, which is off course what we're trying to
avoid. Language information is simply not considered in the index
format... Since the symbol name hashing and comparison routines are
per-language, we now have a problem. The patch sorts this out by
matching each name against all languages. This is inneficient, and
indeed slows down completion several times. E.g., with:
$ cat script.cmd
set pagination off
set $count = 0
while $count < 400
complete b string_prin
printf "count = %d\n", $count
set $count = $count + 1
end
$ time gdb --batch -q ./gdb-with-index -ex "source script-string_printf.cmd"
I get, before patch (-O2, x86-64):
real 0m1.773s
user 0m1.737s
sys 0m0.040s
While after patch (-O2, x86-64):
real 0m9.843s
user 0m9.482s
sys 0m0.034s
However, the following patch will optimize this, and will actually
make this use case faster compared to the "before patch" above:

user 0m1.285s

* gdb.ada/complete.exp (p <Exported_Capitalized>): New test.
(p Exported_Capitalized): New test.
(p exported_capitalized): New test.
Currently, we have a mess of symbol name hashing/comparison routines.
There's msymbol_hash for mangled names, and dict_hash and
msymbol_hash_iw for demangled names. Then there's strcmp_iw,
strcmp_iw_ordered and Ada's full_match/wild_match, which all have to
agree with the hashing routines. That's why dict_hash is really about
Ada names. From the inconsistency department, minimal symbol hashing
doesn't go via dict_hash, so Ada's wild matching can't ever work with
minimal symbols.
This patch starts fixing this, by doing two things:
#1 - adds a language vector method to let each language decide how to
compute a symbol name hash.
#2 - makes dictionaries know the language of the symbols they hold,
and then use the dictionaries language to decide which hashing
method to use.
For now, this is just scaffolding, since all languages install the
default method. The series will make C++ install its own hashing
method later on, and will add per-language symbol name comparison
routines too.
This patch was originally based on a patch that Keith wrote for the
libcc1/C++ WIP support.

If you want to use catch_errors with a function with parameters, then
currently you have to manually write a "capture" struct wrapping the
arguments and marshall/unmarshall that.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-09/msg00834.html proposed
adjusting catch_errors to use gdb::function_view, which would allow
passing lambdas with automatic captures. However, it seems like using
TRY/CATCH directly instead ends up producing clearer and easier to
debug code. This is what this commit does.
Note that removing catch_errors exposes further cleanup opportunities
around no longer having to follow catch_errors callback type, and also
removes a few cleanups.
I didn't do anything to save/restore current_uiout because I think
that should be the responsibility of the code that changes
current_uiout in the first place.
(Another approach could be to make catch_errors a variadic template
like:
template<typename Function, typename... Args>
int catch_errors (const char *errstring, return_mask mask,
Function &&func, Args... args);
and then with:
extern void function_with_args (int, int);
extern void function_with_no_args ();
calls to the above functions would be wrapped like this:
catch_errors ("some error happened", RETURN_MASK_ERROR,
function_with_args, arg1, arg2);
catch_errors ("some error happened", RETURN_MASK_ERROR,
function_with_no_args);
but I'm thinking that that doesn't improve much if at all either.)

captured_command_loop's prototype change.
The fact that GDB defaults to assuming that functions return int, when
it has no debug info for the function has been a recurring source of
user confusion. Recently this came up on the errno pretty printer
discussions. Shortly after, it came up again on IRC, with someone
wondering why does getenv() in GDB return a negative int:
(gdb) p getenv("PATH")
$1 = -6185
This question (with s/getenv/random-other-C-runtime-function) is a FAQ
on IRC.
The reason for the above is:
(gdb) p getenv
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x7ffff7751d80 <getenv>
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = int ()
... which means that GDB truncated the 64-bit pointer that is actually
returned from getent to 32-bit, and then sign-extended it:
(gdb) p /x -6185
$6 = 0xffffe7d7
The workaround is to cast the function to the right type, like:
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH")
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
IMO, we should do better than this.
I see the "assume-int" issue the same way I see printing bogus values
for optimized-out variables instead of "<optimized out>" -- I'd much
rather that the debugger tells me "I don't know" and tells me how to
fix it than showing me bogus misleading results, making me go around
tilting at windmills.
If GDB prints a signed integer when you're expecting a pointer or
aggregate, you at least have some sense that something is off, but
consider the case of the function actually returning a 64-bit integer.
For example, compile this without debug info:
unsigned long long
function ()
{
return 0x7fffffffffffffff;
}
Currently, with pristine GDB, you get:
(gdb) p function ()
$1 = -1 # incorrect
(gdb) p /x function ()
$2 = 0xffffffff # incorrect
maybe after spending a few hours debugging you suspect something is
wrong with that -1, and do:
(gdb) ptype function
type = int ()
and maybe, just maybe, you realize that the function actually returns
unsigned long long. And you try to fix it with:
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$3 = 0xffffffffffffffff # incorrect
... which still produces the wrong result, because GDB simply applied
int to unsigned long long conversion. Meaning, it sign-extended the
integer that it extracted from the return of the function, to 64-bits.
and then maybe, after asking around on IRC, you realize you have to
cast the function to a pointer of the right type, and call that. It
won't be easy, but after a few missteps, you'll get to it:
..... (gdb) p /x ((unsigned long long(*) ()) function) ()
$666 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # finally! :-)
So to improve on the user experience, this patch does the following
(interrelated) things:
- makes no-debug-info functions no longer default to "int" as return
type. Instead, they're left with NULL/"<unknown return type>"
return type.
(gdb) ptype getenv
type = <unknown return type> ()
- makes calling a function with unknown return type an error.
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
- and then to make it easier to call the function, makes it possible
to _only_ cast the return of the function to the right type,
instead of having to cast the function to a function pointer:
(gdb) p (char *) getenv ("PATH") # now Just Works
$3 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
(gdb) p ((char *(*) (const char *)) getenv) ("PATH") # continues working
$4 = 0x7fffffffe7d7 "/usr/local/bin:/"...
I.e., it makes GDB default the function's return type to the type
of the cast, and the function's parameters to the type of the
arguments passed down.
After this patch, here's what you'll get for the "unsigned long long"
example above:
(gdb) p function ()
'function' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p /x (unsigned long long) function ()
$4 = 0x7fffffffffffffff # correct!
Note that while with "print" GDB shows the name of the function that
has the problem:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This will be fixed in the next patch.

Profiling GDB with the rest of series applied, I saw calls to
language_def showing up high in some runs. The problem is that
language_def is O(N) currently, since walk the languages vector each
time to find the matching language_defn.
IMO, the add_language mechanism is pointless, because "enum language"
implies the core of GDB needs to know about all languages anyway. So
simply make the languages vector array be an array where each
element's index is the corresponding enum language enumerator. Note
that "local_language_defn" is gone along the way. It's just a copy of
"auto", so the new code simply maps one to the other. One fewer place
to update when we need to change the language vector...
Also, a while ago the output of "set language" was made out of order
as side effect of some other change. While I was at it, I made them
sorted again.
