PR c++/28901 points out a bug in C++ overload resolution. When
comparing two overloads, one might be better than the other for
certain parameters -- but, if that one also has some invalid
conversion, then it should never be considered the better choice.
Instead, a valid-but-not-apparently-quite-as-good overload should be
preferred.
This patch fixes this problem by changing how overload comparisons are
done. I don't believe it should affect any currently valid overload
resolution; nor should it affect resolutions where all the choices are
equally invalid.
It is possible for a compiler to optimize a function in a such ways that
the function does not follow the calling convention of the target. In
such situation, the compiler can use the DW_AT_calling_convention
attribute with the value DW_CC_nocall to tell the debugger that it is
unsafe to call the function. The DWARF5 standard states, in 3.3.1.1:
> If the value of the calling convention attribute is the constant
> DW_CC_nocall, the subroutine does not obey standard calling
> conventions, and it may not be safe for the debugger to call this
> subroutine.
Non standard calling convention can affect GDB's assumptions in multiple
ways, including how arguments are passed to the function, how values are
returned, and so on. For this reason, it is unsafe for GDB to try to do
the following operations on a function with marked with DW_CC_nocall:
- call / print an expression requiring the function to be evaluated,
- inspect the value a function returns using the 'finish' command,
- force the value returned by a function using the 'return' command.
This patch ensures that if a command which relies on GDB's knowledge of
the target's calling convention is used on a function marked nocall, GDB
prints an appropriate message to the user and does not proceed with the
operation which is unreliable.
Note that it is still possible for someone to use a vendor specific
value for the DW_AT_calling_convention attribute for example to indicate
the use of an alternative calling convention. This commit does not
prevent this, and target dependent code can be adjusted if one wanted to
support multiple calling conventions.

An earlier patch of mine, commit 64b7cc50 ("Remove
gdb_print_host_address") inadvertently changed a function in
gdbtypes.c to use printf rather than printf_filtered. This patch
fixes the problem.
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
gdb_print_host_address is just a simple wrapper around
fprintf_filtered. However, it is readily replaced in all callers by a
combination of %s and call to host_address_to_string. This also
simplifies the code, so I think it's worthwhile to remove this
function.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 64.
The bug fixed by this [1] patch was caused by an out-of-bounds access to
a value's content. The code gets the value's content (just a pointer)
and then indexes it with a non-sensical index.
This made me think of changing functions that return value contents to
return array_views instead of a plain pointer. This has the advantage
that when GDB is built with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG, accesses to the array_view
are checked, making bugs more apparent / easier to find.
This patch changes the return types of these functions, and updates
callers to call .data() on the result, meaning it's not changing
anything in practice. Additional work will be needed (which can be done
little by little) to make callers propagate the use of array_view and
reap the benefits.

This changes gdb to check the index that is passed to type::field.
This caught one bug in the Ada code when running the test suite
(actually I found the bug first, then realized that the check would
have helped), so this patch fixes that as well.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
A customer-reported problem led us to a bug in dynamic type
resolution. resolve_dynamic_struct will recursively call
resolve_dynamic_type_internal, passing it the sub-object for the
particular field being resolved. While it offsets the address here,
it does not also offset the "valaddr" -- the array of bytes describing
the memory.
This patch fixes the bug, by offsetting both. A test case is included
that can be used to reproduce the bug.
Add accessors for the various location values in struct field. This
lets us assert that when we get a location value of a certain kind (say,
bitpos), the field's location indeed contains a value of that kind.
Remove the SET_FIELD_* macros, instead use the new setters directly.
Update the FIELD_* macros used to access field locations to go through
the getters. They will be removed in a subsequent patch.
There are places where the FIELD_* macros are used on call_site_target
structures, because it contains members of the same name (loc_kind and
loc). For now, I have replicated the getters/setters in
call_site_target. But we could perhaps eventually factor them in a
"location" structure that can be used at both places.
Note that the field structure, being zero-initialized, defaults to a
bitpos location with value 0. While writing this patch, I tried to make
it default to an "unset" location, to catch places where we would miss
setting a field's location. However, I found that some places relied on
the default being "bitpos 0", so I left it as-is. This change could
always be done as follow-up work, making these places explicitly set the
"bitpos 0" location.
I found two issues to fix:
- I got some failures in the gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp
test. They were caused by two functions in amd64-tdep.c using
TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS before checking if the location is of the bitpos
kind, which they do indirectly through `field_is_static`. Simply
move getting the bitpos below the field_is_static call.
- I got a failure in gdb.xml/tdesc-regs.exp. It turns out that in
make_gdb_type_enum, we set enum field values using SET_FIELD_BITPOS,
and later access them through FIELD_ENUMVAL. Fix that by using
set_loc_enumval to set the value.

I noticed that some methods in language_defn could use
unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> rather than a plain 'char *'. This patch
implements this change, fixing up the fallout and changing
gdb_demangle to also return this type. In one spot, std::string is
used to simplify some related code, and in another, an auto_obstack is
used to avoid manual management.

Consider test-case gdb.trace/entry-values.exp with target board
unix/-fPIE/-pie.
Using this command we have an abbreviated version, and can see the correct
@entry values for foo:
...
$ gdb -q -batch outputs/gdb.trace/entry-values/entry-values \
-ex start \
-ex "break foo" \
-ex "set print entry-values both" \
-ex continue
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x679
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0x0000555555554679 in main ()
Breakpoint 2 at 0x55555555463e
Breakpoint 2, 0x000055555555463e in foo (i=0, i@entry=2, j=2, j@entry=3)
...
Now, let's try the same again, but run directly to foo rather than stopping at
main:
...
$ gdb -q -batch outputs/gdb.trace/entry-values/entry-values \
-ex "break foo" \
-ex "set print entry-values both" \
-ex run
Breakpoint 1 at 0x63e
Breakpoint 1, 0x000055555555463e in foo (i=0, i@entry=<optimized out>, \
j=2, j@entry=<optimized out>)
...
So, what explains the difference? Noteworthy, this is a dwarf assembly
test-case, with debug info for foo and bar, but not for main.
In the first case:
- we run to main
- this does not trigger expanding debug info, because there's none for main
- we set a breakpoint at foo
- this triggers expanding debug info. Relocated addresses are used in
call_site info (because the exec is started)
- we continue to foo, and manage to find the call_site info
In the second case:
- we set a breakpoint at foo
- this triggers expanding debug info. Unrelocated addresses are used in
call_site info (because the exec is not started)
- we run to foo
- this triggers objfile_relocate1, but it doesn't update the call_site
info addresses
- we don't manage to find the call_site info
We could fix this by adding the missing call_site relocation in
objfile_relocate1.
This solution however is counter-trend in the sense that we're trying to
work towards the situation where when starting two instances of an executable,
we need only one instance of debug information, implying the use of
unrelocated addresses.
So, fix this instead by using unrelocated addresses in call_site info.

Remove the `TYPE_FIELD_NAME` and `FIELD_NAME` macros, changing all the
call sites to use field::name directly.
Change-Id: I6900ae4e1ffab1396e24fb3298e94bf123826ca6
Add the `name` and `set_name` methods on `struct field`, in order to
remove `FIELD_NAME` and `TYPE_FIELD_NAME` macros. In this patch, the
macros are changed to use `field::name`, so all the call sites that are
used to set the field's name are changed to use `field::set_name`.
The next patch will remove the macros completely.
Note that because of the name clash between the existing field named
`name` and the new method, I renamed the field `m_name`. It is not
private per-se, because we can't make `struct field` a non-POD yet, but
it should be considered private anyway (not accessed outside `struct
field`).

I noticed that pointer_type is declared in language.h and defined in
language.c. However, it really has to do with types, so it should
have been in gdbtypes.h all along.
This patch changes it to be a method on struct type. And, I went
through uses of TYPE_IS_REFERENCE and updated many spots to use the
new method as well. (I didn't update ones that were in arch-specific
code, as I couldn't readily test that.)
The case for FIELD_LOC_KIND_DWARF_BLOCK was missing for
switch TYPE_FIELD_LOC_KIND. Thas caused an internal-error
under some circumstances.
Fixes bug 28030.
When printing the fields of a register that is of a custom struct type,
the "unpack_bits_as_long ()" function is used:
do_val_print (...)
cp_print_value_fields (...)
value_field_bitfield (...)
unpack_value_bitfield (...)
unpack_bits_as_long (...)
This function may sign-extend the extracted field while returning it:
val >>= lsbcount;
if (...)
{
valmask = (((ULONGEST) 1) << bitsize) - 1;
val &= valmask;
if (!field_type->is_unsigned ())
if (val & (valmask ^ (valmask >> 1)))
val |= ~valmask;
}
return val;
lsbcount: Number of lower bits to get rid of.
bitsize: The bit length of the field to be extracted.
val: The register value.
field_type: The type of field that is being handled.
While the logic here is correct, there is a problem when it is
handling "field_type"s of "boolean". Those types are NOT marked
as "unsigned" and therefore they end up being sign extended.
Although this is not a problem for "false" (0), it definitely
causes trouble for "true".
This patch constructs the builtin boolean type as such that it is
marked as an "unsigned" entity.
The issue tackled here was first encountered for arc-elf32 target
running on an x86_64 machine. The unit-test introduced in this change
has passed for all the targets (--enable-targets=all) running on the
same x86_64 host.
Fixes: https://sourceware.org/PR28104
The assertion
gdb_assert (nr_bits >= 1 && nr_bits <= type_bitsize);
is not correct. Well, it's correct in that we do want the number of
bits to be in the range [1, type_bitsize]. But we don't check anywhere
that the end of the specified flag is within the containing type.
The following code should generate a failed assertion, as the flag goes
past the 32 bits of the underlying type, but it's currently not caught:
static void
test_print_flag (gdbarch *arch)
{
type *flags_type = arch_flags_type (arch, "test_type", 32);
type *field_type = builtin_type (arch)->builtin_uint32;
append_flags_type_field (flags_type, 31, 2, field_type, "invalid");
}
(You can test this by registering it as a selftest using
selftests::register_test_foreach_arc and running.)
Change the assertion to verify that the end bit is within the range of
the underlying type. This implicitly verifies that nr_bits is not
too big as well, so we don't need a separate assertion for that.

Investigation of using the Python API with an Ada program showed that
an array of dynamic types was not being handled properly. I tracked
this down to an oddity of how array strides are handled.
In gdb, an array stride can be attached to the range type, via the
range_bounds object. However, the stride can also be put into the
array's first field. From create_range_type_with_stride:
else if (bit_stride > 0)
TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (result_type, 0) = bit_stride;
It's hard to be sure why this is done, but I would guess a combination
of historical reasons plus a desire (mentioned in a comment somewhere)
to avoid modifying the range type.
This patch fixes the problem by changing type::bit_stride to
understand this convention. It also fixes one spot that reproduces
this logic.

I noticed that in types equal we start with a cheap pointer equality
check, then resolve typedefs, then do a series of (semi-)expensive
checks, including checking type names, before, finally performing
another pointer equality check.
We should hoist the second pointer equality check to immediately after
we have resolved typedefs. This would save performing the more
expensive checks.
This isn't going to give any noticable performance improvement, I just
spotted this in passing and figured I might as well commit the fix.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

resolve_dynamic_struct says:
gdb_assert (type->num_fields () > 0);
However, a certain Ada program has a structure with no fields but with
a dynamic size, causing this assertion to fire.
It is difficult to be certain, but we think this is a compiler bug.
However, in the meantime this assertion does not seem to be checking
any kind of internal consistency; so this patch removes it.

I think this makes the names of the methods clearer, especially for the
arch. The type::arch method (which gets the arch owner, or NULL if the
type is not arch owned) is easily confused with the get_type_arch method
(which returns an arch no matter what). The name "arch_owner" will make
it intuitive that the method returns NULL if the type is not arch-owned.
Also, this frees the type::arch name, so we will be able to morph the
get_type_arch function into the type::arch method.

This is inside a TYPE_ALLOC macro. The fact that gdbarch_obstack is
called means that the type is flagged as being arch-owned, but arch=0x0
means that type::arch returned NULL, probably meaning that the m_owner
field contains NULL.
If we look at the code before the problematic patch, in the
copy_type_recursive function, we see:
if (! TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (type))
return type;
...
TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (new_type) = 0;
TYPE_OWNER (new_type).gdbarch = get_type_arch (type);
The last two lines were replaced with:
new_type->set_owner (type->arch ());
get_type_arch and type->arch isn't the same thing: get_type_arch gets
the type's arch owner if it is arch-owned, and gets the objfile's arch
if the type is objfile owned. So it always returns non-NULL.
type->arch returns the type's arch if the type is arch-owned, else NULL.
So since the original type is objfile owned, it effectively made the new
type arch-owned (that is good) but set the owner to NULL (that is bad).
Fix this by using get_type_arch again there.
I spotted one other similar change in lookup_array_range_type, in the
original patch. But that one appears to be correct, as it is executed
only if the type is arch-owned.
