The function info_command has disappeared, so this breakpoint does not
work anymore.
"info_command" was a function for the prefix command "info",
giving the list of "info" subcommands.
It is not very clear what the removed breakpoint and its associated
command list was supposed to do.
Removed and pushed as obvious, after discussion with Tom.
My recent change regarding size calculation of arrays of stubbed types
didn't take array strides and associated/allocated type properties into
account, which basically broke fortran arrays.
Fixed by refactoring the array size calculation of
create_array_type_with_stride into a new function, and also use it for
the stubbed array size recalculation.

The problem that the commit attempts to address has already been fixed in
commit 770479f223 "gdb: Fix toplevel types with -fdebug-types-section".
The commit itself is superfluous because it sets list_in_scope at a point that
it's already set (by start_symtab).
"frame" and "f" are created twice by stack.c _initialize_stack.
Remove the second creation.

Sizes of stubbed types are calculated on demand in check_typedef, so the
same must also be done for arrays of stubbed types.
A stubbed type is usually a structure that has only been forward declared,
but can also happen if the structure has a virtual function that's not
inline in the class definition.
For these stubbed types, the size must be recalculated once the full
definition is available.

These warnings appear because we are doing something a bit funky when reading
the gdbarch fields. These variables are not assigned explicitly, but
using some `eval` commands.
I don't think there is so much we can fix about those warnings. To
silence them, I've changed `${foo}` to `${foo:-}`. This tells the shell
to substitute with an empty string if `foo` is not defined. This
retains the current behavior, but the warnings go away.

PR ada/25875 concerns a gdb crash when gdb.ada/arr_enum_idx_w_gap.exp
is run using the .debug_types board.
The problem turns out to be caused by weird compiler output. In this
test, the compiler emits a top-level type that refers to an
enumeration type which is nested in a function. However, this
function is just a declaration.
This results in gdb calling read_enumeration_type for the enum type,
but process_enumeration_scope is never called, yielding an enum with
no fields. This causes the crash.
This patch fixes the problem by arranging to create the enum fields in
read_enumeration_type.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 30.

When debugging a program compiled with -fdebug-types-section,
only the first top-level type in each file is visible to gdb.
The problem was caused by moving the assignment to list_in_scope
from process_full_comp_unit and process_full_type_unit to
start_symtab. This was fine for process_full_comp_unit, because
symtabs and comp units are one-to-one. But there can be many type
units per symtab (one for each type), and we only call start_symtab
for the first one. This adds the necessary assignments on the paths
where start_symtab is not called.

separate type unit, an incomplete declaration of that type in the compilation
unit may provide the unique 64-bit signature of the type using a
DW_AT_signature attribute):
...

<d8> DW_AT_name : 36.c

still does not help, because they're declarations, so new_symbol is not called
for them in process_structure_scope.
Fix this by calling new_symbol for these decls.

I recently stumbled on this code mentioning Linux kernel 2.6.25, and
thought it could be time for some spring cleaning (newer GDBs probably
don't need to supports 12-year old kernels). I then found that the
"legacy" case is probably broken anyway, which gives an even better
motivation for its removal.
In short, this patch removes the configure checks that check if
user_regs_struct contains the fs_base/gs_base fields and adjusts all
uses of the HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_{FS,GS}_BASE macros. The
longer explanation/rationale follows.
Apparently, Linux kernels since 2.6.25 (that's from 2008) have been
reliably providing fs_base and gs_base as part of user_regs_struct.
Commit df5d438e33d7 in the Linux kernel [1] seems related. This means
that we can get these values by reading registers with PTRACE_GETREGS.
Previously, these values were obtained using a separate
PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL ptrace call.
First, I'm not even sure the configure check was really right in the
first place.
The user_regs_struct used by GDB comes from
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/user.h (or equivalent on other
distros) and is provided by glibc. glibc has had the fs_base/gs_base
fields in there for a very long time, at least since this commit from
2001 [2]. The Linux kernel also has its version of user_regs_struct,
which I think was exported to user-space at some point. It included the
fs_base/gs_base fields since at least this 2002 commit [3]. In any
case, my conclusion is that the fields were there long before the
aforementioned Linux kernel commit. The kernel commit didn't add these
fields, it only made sure that they have reliable values when obtained
with PTRACE_GETREGS.
So, checking for the presence of the fs_base/gs_base fields in struct
user_regs_struct doesn't sound like a good way of knowing if we can
reliably get the fs_base/gs_base values from PTRACE_GETREGS. My guess
is that if we were using that strategy on a < 2.6.25 kernel, things
would not work correctly:
- configure would find that the user_regs_struct has the fs_base/gs_base
fields (which are probided by glibc anyway)
- we would be reading the fs_base/gs_base values using PTRACE_GETREGS,
for which the kernel would provide unreliable values
Second, I have tried to see how things worked by forcing GDB to not use
fs_base/gs_base from PTRACE_GETREGS (forcing it to use the "legacy"
code, by configuring with
ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_gs_base=no ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_fs_base=no
Doing so breaks writing registers back to the inferior. For example,
calling an inferior functions gives an internal error:

The problem seems to be that amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers
calls amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p to know whether gregset provides
fs_base. When !HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE,
amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p returns false. store_registers
therefore assumes that it must be an "xstate" register. This is of
course wrong, and that leads to the failed assertion when
i387_collect_xsave doesn't recognize the register.
amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers could probably be fixed to
handle this case, but I don't think it's worth it, given that it would
only be to support very old kernels.

Commit 5939967b35 fixed inline
frame unwinding breakage for some targets (aarch64, riscv, s390...)
but regressed a few amd64 testcases related to tailcalls.
Given the following example situation...
Frame #-1 - sentinel frame
Frame # 0 - inline frame
Frame # 1 - normal frame
... suppose we're at level #1 and call into dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first.
We'll attempt to fetch PC, which used to be done via the gdbarch_unwind_pc call
(before 5939967b35), but now it is being handled
by the get_frame_register function.
gdbarch_unwind_pc will attempt to use frame #1's cache to retrieve information
about the PC. Here's where different architectures behave differently.
x86_64 will find a dwarf rule to retrieve PC from memory, at a CFA + offset
location. So the PC value is readily available and there is no need to
create a lazy value.
For aarch64 (and others), GCC doesn't emit an explicit location for PC, so we
eventually will find that PC is DWARF2_FRAME_REG_UNSPECIFIED. This is known
and is handled by GDB by assuming GCC really meant DWARF2_FRAME_REG_SAME_VALUE.
This means we'll attempt to fetch the register value from frame #0, via a call
to frame_unwind_got_register, which will trigger the creation of a lazy value
that requires a valid frame id for frame #0.
We don't have a valid id for frame #0 yet, so we assert.
Given the above, the following patch attempts to handle the situation without
being too hacky. We verify if the next frame is an inline frame and if its
frame id has been computed already. If it hasn't been computed yet, then we
use the safer get_frame_register function, otherwise we use the regular
gdbarch_unwind_pc hook.

This patch adds a target board debug-types that switches on
-fdebug-types-section by default.
This -fdebug-types-section option is a gcc option that enables the generation
of a .debug_types section, which is only effective for DWARF version 4.
There are two other boards that enable this: dwarf4-gdb-index and fisson, but
while those test some meaningful combination of options, this board is
intended to test only -fdebug-types-section.
Current results with gcc 7.5.0 are:

PR rust/25025 notes that some Rust test cases fail.
Debugging gdb revealed that the Rust compiler emits different linkage
names that demangle to the same result. Enabling complaints when
reading the test case is enough to show it:
During symbol reading: Computed physname <generics::identity<f64>> does not match demangled <generics::identity> (from linkage <_ZN8generics8identity17h8540b320af6656d6E>) - DIE at 0x424 [in module /home/tromey/gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.rust/generics/generics]

...
This patch changes the DWARF reader to prefer the computed physname,
rather than the output of the demangler, for Rust. This fixes the
bug.

PR rust/25025:
* dwarf2/read.c (dwarf2_physname): Do not demangle for Rust.
The DWARF reader has had some odd code since the "physname" patches landed.
In particular, these patches caused PR symtab/12707; namely, they made
it so "set print demangle off" no longer works.
This patch attempts to fix the problem. It arranges to store the
linkage name on the symbol if it exists, and it changes the DWARF
reader so that the demangled name is no longer (usually) stored in the
symbol's "linkage name" field.
c-linkage-name.exp needed a tweak, because it started working
correctly. This conforms to what I think ought to happen, so this
seems like an improvement here.
compile-object-load.c needed a small change to use
symbol_matches_search_name rather than directly examining the linkage
name. Looking directly at the name does the wrong thing for C++.
There is still some name-related confusion in the DWARF reader:
* "physname" often refers to the logical name and not what I would
consider to be the "physical" name;
* dwarf2_full_name, dwarf2_name, and dwarf2_physname all exist and
return different strings -- but this seems like at least one name
too many. For example, Fortran requires dwarf2_full_name, but other
languages do not.
* To my surprise, dwarf2_physname prefers the form emitted by the
demangler over the one that it computes. This seems backward to me,
given that the partial symbol reader prefers the opposite, and it
seems to me that this choice may perform better as well.
I didn't attempt to clean up these things. It would be good to do,
but whenever I contemplate it I get caught up in dreams of truly
rewriting the DWARF reader instead.

As mentioned in another thread, there's currently no need to call
compute_and_set_names for partial symbols. Because the DWARF partial
symbol reader constructs demangled names, this call can only demangle
a name by mistake.
So, this patch changes the DWARF reader to simply set the linkage name
on the new symbol. This is equivalent to what was done before. There
should be no user-visible change from this patch, aside from gdb
speeding up a bit.
... there *should* be, but this regressed
dw2-namespaceless-anonymous.exp. However, upon examination, I think
that test is incorrect. It puts a mangled name into DW_AT_name, and
it puts the variable at the top level, not in a namespace. This isn't
what C++ compilers ought to do. So, this patch also updates the test
case.
