With my debug build of Python (--with-pydebug), many tests fails because
of the same issue. Python scripts are loaded by the tests using this
pattern:
(gdb) python exec (open ('file.py').read ())
This causes Python to output this warning:
__main__:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name='file.py' mode='r' encoding='ANSI_X3.4-1968'>
and the test to fail because of that extra output. Instead of using the
open + read + exec trick which leaks the file and causes the warning,
why not just source the files?
(gdb) source file.py
This patch changes this, and standardizes the test names of the tests I
touched to "load python file" (some of them were empty, others were
overly complicated).

This patch modifies the unwinder (sniffer) defined in
py-recurse-unwind.py so that, depending upon the value of one of its
class variables, it will take different paths through the code,
testing different functionality.
The original test attempted to obtain the value of an undefined
symbol.

gdb.PendingFrame.read_register() and also via gdb.parse_and_eval().

* Another spot is doing the same but with PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong; I
changed this as well just for consistency.
* Converting line numbers can print "-1" if conversion from long
fails. This isn't fatal but just a bit ugly.

I noticed that testing aarch64-elf gdb with a physical board
ran into issues with gdb.python/py-value.exp. Further investigation showed
that we were actually trying to dereference a NULL pointer (argv) when trying
to access argv[0].
Being bare-metal, argv is not guaranteed to be valid. So we need to make sure
argv is sane before accessing argv[0].
The following patch fixes up the test program to check for a NULL argv and also
improves the testcase a bit so it doesn't have to work with a hardcoded argc
value.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

* gdb.python/py-value.c (main): Check if argv is NULL before using it.
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_in_inferior): Don't use hardcoded
argc values.
Add 1 to argc so we guarantee distinct initial/modified argc values.
The gdb.decode_line python function is documented to support the same location
expressions as the "break" command. It currently expects a linespec location.
Instead of creating a linespec location directly, create the location via
string_to_event_location_basic.
This fixes the problem exercised by Kevin's test at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-08/msg00216.html
This was originally exposed by the OpenJDK Python-based unwinder.
If an unwinder attempts to call parse_and_eval from within its
sniffing method, GDB's unwinding machinery enters infinite recursion.
However, parse_and_eval is a pretty reasonable thing to call, because
Python/Scheme-based unwinders will often need to read globals out of
inferior memory. The recursion happens because:
- get_current_frame() is called soon after the target stops.
- current_frame is NULL, and so we unwind it from the sentinel frame
(which is special and has level == -1).
- We reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, which does cycle detection
based on frame id, and thus tries to compute the frame id of the new
frame.
- Frame id computation requires an unwinder, so we go through all
unwinder sniffers trying to see if one accepts the new frame (the
current frame).
- the unwinder's sniffer calls parse_and_eval().
- parse_and_eval depends on the selected frame/block, and if not set
yet, the selected frame is set to the current frame.
- get_current_frame () is called again. current_frame is still NULL,
so ...
- recurse forever.
In Kevin's test at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-08/msg00216.html
gdb doesn't recurse forever simply because the Python unwinder
contains code to detect and stop the recursion itself. However, GDB
goes downhill from here, e.g., by showing the sentinel frame as
current frame (note the -1):
Breakpoint 1, ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
23 }
(gdb) bt
#-1 ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
That "-1" frame level comes from this:
if (catch_exceptions (current_uiout, unwind_to_current_frame,
sentinel_frame, RETURN_MASK_ERROR) != 0)
{
/* Oops! Fake a current frame? Is this useful? It has a PC
of zero, for instance. */
current_frame = sentinel_frame;
}
which is bogus. It's never correct to set the current frame to the
sentinel frame. The only reason this has survived so long is that
getting here normally indicates something wrong has already happened
before and we fix that. And this case is no exception -- it doesn't
really matter how precisely we managed to get to that bogus code (it
has to do with the the stash), because anything after recursion
happens is going to be invalid.
So the fix is to avoid the recursion in the first place.
Observations:
#1 - The recursion happens because we try to do cycle detection from
within get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle. That requires computing the
frame id of the frame being unwound, and that itself requires
calling into the unwinders.
#2 - But, the first time we're unwinding from the sentinel frame,
when we reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, there's no frame chain
at all yet:
- current_frame is NULL.
- the frame stash is empty.
Thus, there's really no need to do cycle detection the first time we
reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, when building the current frame.
So we can break the recursion by making get_current_frame call a
simplified version of get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle that results in
setting the current_frame global _before_ computing the current
frame's id.
But, we can go a little bit further. As there's really no reason
anymore to compute the current frame's frame id immediately, we can
defer computing it to when some caller of get_current_frame might need
it. This was actually how the frame id was computed for all frames
before the stash-based cycle detection was added. So in a way, this
patch reintroduces the lazy frame id computation, but unlike before,
only for the case of the current frame, which turns out to be special.
This lazyness, however, requires adjusting
gdb.python/py-unwind-maint.exp, because that assumes unwinders are
immediately called as side effect of some commands. I didn't see a
need to preserve the behavior expected by that test (all it would take
is call get_frame_id inside get_current_frame), so I adjusted the
test.

Note that GDB's problems go well beyond the fact that it invokes the
unwinder recursively. In the process it messes up some internal state
(the frame stash) leading to display of (only) the sentinel frame in
the backtrace.

This patch adds some breakpoint events to Python. In particular,
there is a creation event that is emitted when a breakpoint is
created; a modification event that is emitted when a breakpoint
changes somehow; and a deletion event that is emitted when a
breakpoint is deleted.
In this patch, the event's payload is the breakpoint itself. I
considered making a new event type to hold the breakpoint, but I
didn't see a need. Still, I thought I would mention this as a spot
where some other choice is possible.

Similarly to 5068630ad3
(gdb.python/py-events.exp and normal_stop observers ordering) [1],
this commit makes the gdb.python/py-mi-events.exp test not rely on
order in which MI and Python observers run, or even on where each
observer sends its output to.
This shows up as a problem when testing with MI running as a separate
terminal, for example, where Python event output and MI output go to
different channels, even. But in any case, relying on the order in
which observers run is always going to be fragile.
The fix is to save the string output in the handlers in some variables
and then having MI print them explicitly, instead of printing them
directly from the Python events.

lazily initialized by Python when assigning to an attribute; and it
can also be handled ok when using dir() but without __dict__ defined;
but gdb defines __dict__ because this isn't supplied automatically by
Python.
The docs on this seem rather sparse, but this patch works ok.
An alternative might be to lazily create the dictionary in
gdb_py_generic_dict, but I went with this approach because it seemed
more straightforward.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23.

python: Use console format for output of gdb.execute command
the python script would use console format for gdb.execute output.
This patch fixes py-mi-objfile to expect the console format when is
checking for gdb.execute printing.

When gdb is started in MI mode, the output of gdb.execute
command is in MI-format in case when it is executed from python stop
handler while for all other cases the output is in console-format.
To assure consistent output format, this is fixed by using the console
format for all python gdb command executions.

This patch is a follow-up to "Add printf format specifier for printing
enumerator":
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00144.html
Instead of having a solution specific to the printf command, Pedro
suggested adding a general purpose function $_as_string() that would
cover this use case and more.
So, in order to print the textual label of an enum, one can use:
(gdb) printf "Visiting node of type %s\n", $_as_string(node)
Visiting node of type NODE_INTEGER

Now that "legacy" linespecs benefit from consolidated support in
string_to_event_location_basic, python's Breakpoint command should use this
function to turn strings into event locations.
As a result, this patch fixes python/19506. Before:

File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

When running tests in parallel, each test puts its generated files in a
different directory, under "outputs". I think it would be nice if it
was always the case, as it would isolate the test cases a bit more. An
artifact created by a test wouldn't get overwritten by another test.
Also, it makes it easier to clean up. A lot of executables are left all
over the place because their names do not appear in gdb.*/Makefile. If
everything is in "outputs", then we just have to delete that directory
(which we already do).
At the same time it makes the gdb.foo directories and their Makefiles
useless in the build directory, since they are pretty much only used for
cleaning.
What do you think?

The lambda function used to sort the enumerator list does not work
properly. This list consists of tuples, (enum label, enum value). The
key function returns x.enumval. enumval not being defined for a tuple,
we see this exception in the test log:
Python Exception <class 'AttributeError'> 'tuple' object has no attribute 'enumval'
The function should return the second item of the tuple, which is the
enumval.
The pretty-printer still worked mostly correctly, except that the
enumeration values were not sorted. The test still passed because the
enumeration values are already sorted where they are defined. The test
also passed despite the exception being printed, because the right output
was printed after the exception:
print (enum flag_enum) (FLAG_1)
Python Exception <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> 'tuple' objecthas no attribute 'enumval':M
$7 = 0x1 [FLAG_1]
(gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-pp-maint.exp: print FLAG_1
New in v2:
- Improved test case, I stole Pedro's example directly. It verifies
that the sorting of enumerators by value works, by checking that
printing FOO_MASK appears as FOO_1 | FOO_2 | FOO_3.
I noticed that I could change the regexps to almost anything and the
tests would still pass. I think it was because of the | in there. I
made them more robust by using string_to_regexp. I used curly braces
{ } instead of quoting marks " " for strings, so that I could use
square brackets [ ] in them without having to escape them all. I also
removed the "message" part of the tests, since they are redundant with
the command, and it's just more maintenance to have to update them.
Tested with Python 2.7 and 3.5.
