Avoid the use of PyInt_FromLong, preferring gdb_py_object_from_longest
instead. I found found another spot that was incorrectly handling
errors (see gdbpy_create_ptid_object) while writing this patch; it is
fixed here.

noticed that the error handling in archpy_disassemble was incorrect --
it could call PyDict_SetItemString with a NULL value. This patch also
fixes this bug.

This commit unifies all of the Python register lookup code (used by
Frame.read_register, PendingFrame.read_register, and
gdb.UnwindInfo.add_saved_register), and adds support for using a
gdb.RegisterDescriptor for register lookup.
Currently the register unwind code (PendingFrame and UnwindInfo) allow
registers to be looked up either by name, or by GDB's internal
number. I suspect the number was added for performance reasons, when
unwinding we don't want to repeatedly map from name to number for
every unwind. However, this kind-of sucks, it means Python scripts
could include GDB's internal register numbers, and if we ever change
this numbering in the future users scripts will break in unexpected
ways.
Meanwhile, the Frame.read_register method only supports accessing
registers using a string, the register name.
This commit unifies all of the register to register-number lookup code
in our Python bindings, and adds a third choice into the mix, the use
of gdb.RegisterDescriptor.
The register descriptors can be looked up by name, but once looked up,
they contain GDB's register number, and so provide all of the
performance benefits of using a register number directly. However, as
they are looked up by name we are no longer tightly binding the Python
API to GDB's internal numbering scheme.
As we may already have scripts in the wild that are using the register
numbers directly I have kept support for this in the API, but I have
listed this method last in the manual, and I have tried to stress that
this is NOT a good method to use and that users should use either a
string or register descriptor approach.
After this commit all existing Python code should function as before,
but users now have new options for how to identify registers.

Add a new method gdb.Architecture.register_groups which returns a new
object of type gdb.RegisterGroupsIterator. This new iterator then
returns objects of type gdb.RegisterGroup.
Each gdb.RegisterGroup object just wraps a single reggroup pointer,
and (currently) has just one read-only property 'name' that is a
string, the name of the register group.
As with the previous commit (adding gdb.RegisterDescriptor) I made
gdb.RegisterGroup an object rather than just a string in case we want
to add additional properties in the future.

This commit adds a new method gdb.Architecture.registers that returns
an object of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator. This
iterator returns objects of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptor.
A RegisterDescriptor is not a way to read the value of a register,
this is already covered by Frame.read_register, a RegisterDescriptor
is simply a way to discover from Python, which registers are
available for a given architecture.
I did consider just returning a string, the name of each register,
instead of a RegisterDescriptor, however, I'm aware that it we don't
want to break the existing Python API in any way, so if I return just
a string now, but in the future we want more information about a
register then we would have to add a second API to get that
information. By going straight to a descriptor object now, it is easy
to add additional properties in the future should we wish to.
Right now the only property of a register that a user can access is
the name of the register.
In future we might want to be able to ask the register about is
register groups, or its type.

This changes the extension language pretty-printers to use the value
API.
Note that new functions were needed, for both Guile and Python.
Currently both languages always wrap values by removing the values
from the value chain. This makes sense to avoid strange behavior with
watchpoints, and to avoid excessive memory use. However, when
printing, it's important to leave the passed-in value untouched, in
case pretty-printing does nothing -- that way the caller can still
access it.

If gdb.lookup_static_symbol is going to return a single symbol then it
makes sense (I think) for it to return a context sensitive choice of
symbol, that is the global static symbol that would be visible to the
program at that point.
However, if the user of the python API wants to instead get a
consistent set of global static symbols, no matter where they stop,
then they have to instead consider all global static symbols with a
given name - there could be many. That is what this new API function
offers, it returns a list (possibly empty) of all global static
symbols matching a given name (and optionally a given symbol domain).

This patch causes PyBuffer_Release() to be called when the associated
buffer goes out of scope. I've been using it as follows:
...
Py_buffer_up buffer_up;
Py_buffer py_buf;
if (PyObject_CheckBuffer (obj)
&& PyObject_GetBuffer (obj, &py_buf, PyBUF_SIMPLE) == 0)
{
/* Got a buffer, py_buf, out of obj. Cause it to released
when it goes out of scope. */
buffer_up.reset (&py_buf);
}
...

python-value.c.

While working on my other scripts to deal with gdb headers, I noticed
that some files were missing include guards. I wrote a script to add
the missing ones, but found that using the obvious names for the
guards ran into clashes -- for example, gdb/nat/linux-nat.h used
"LINUX_NAT_H", but this was also the script's choice for
gdb/linux-nat.h.
So, I changed the script to normalize all include guards in gdb. This
patch is the result.
As usual the script is available here:
https://github.com/tromey/gdb-refactoring-scripts
Tested by rebuilding; I also ran it through "Fedora-x86_64-m64" on the

PR python/23615 points out that gdb.execute_gdb_command does not
release the Python GIL. This means that, while the gdb command is
running, other Python threads do not run.
This patch solves the problem by introducing a new RAII class that can
be used to temporarily release and then re-acquire the GIL, then puts
this into the appropriate places in execute_gdb_command and
gdbpy_parse_and_eval.
This does not include a test case, because after some research I could
not find a way to write one that was not racy.

This introduces a new class that wraps PyErr_Fetch and PyErr_Restore,

Most callers of inferior_to_inferior_object already use a gdbpy_ref,
so this changes inferior_to_inferior_object to return one. Doing this

well.

Some Python APIs steal references from their caller, and the refcount
checker supports this via an attribute.
However, in gdb with C++ we have a better idiom available: we can use
std::move on a gdbpy_ref<> instead. This makes the semantics obvious
at the point of call, and is safer at runtime as well, because the
callee's gdbpy_ref<> will be emptied.
This patch changes the reference-stealing code in gdb to use rvalue
references instead.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28.

This is more preparation bits for multi-target support.
In a multi-target scenario, we need to address the case of different
processes/threads running on different targets that happen to have the
same PID/PTID. E.g., we can have both process 123 in target 1, and
process 123 in target 2, while they're in reality different processes
running on different machines. Or maybe we've loaded multiple
instances of the same core file. Etc.
To address this, in my WIP multi-target branch, threads and processes
are uniquely identified by the (process_stratum target_ops *, ptid_t)
and (process_stratum target_ops *, pid) tuples respectively. I.e.,
each process_stratum instance has its own thread/process number space.
As you can imagine, that requires passing around target_ops * pointers
in a number of functions where we're currently passing only a ptid_t
or an int. E.g., when we look up a thread_info object by ptid_t in
find_thread_ptid, the ptid_t alone isn't sufficient.
In many cases though, we already have the thread_info or inferior
pointer handy, but we "lose" it somewhere along the call stack, only
to look it up again by ptid_t/pid. Since thread_info or inferior
objects know their parent target, if we pass around thread_info or
inferior pointers when possible, we avoid having to add extra
target_ops parameters to many functions, and also, we eliminate a
number of by ptid_t/int lookups.
So that's what this patch does. In a bit more detail:
- Changes a number of functions and methods to take a thread_info or
inferior pointer instead of a ptid_t or int parameter.
- Changes a number of structure fields from ptid_t/int to inferior or
thread_info pointers.
- Uses the inferior_thread() function whenever possible instead of
inferior_ptid.
- Uses thread_info pointers directly when possible instead of the
is_running/is_stopped etc. routines that require a lookup.
- A number of functions are eliminated along the way, such as:
int valid_gdb_inferior_id (int num);
int pid_to_gdb_inferior_id (int pid);
int gdb_inferior_id_to_pid (int num);
int in_inferior_list (int pid);
- A few structures and places hold a thread_info pointer across
inferior execution, so now they take a strong reference to the
(refcounted) thread_info object to avoid the thread_info pointer
getting stale. This is done in enable_thread_stack_temporaries and
in the infcall.c code.
- Related, there's a spot in infcall.c where using a RAII object to
handle the refcount would be handy, so a gdb::ref_ptr specialization
for thread_info is added (thread_info_ref, in gdbthread.h), along
with a gdb_ref_ptr policy that works for all refcounted_object types
(in common/refcounted-object.h).

This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at
each call, this is not exposed to Python; it could be, but I think
it's just as good to write a convenience function in this situation.

The initial goal of this patch was to remove the usage of
VEC(xmethod_worker_ptr) and corresponding cleanups. I ended up having
to C++ify the xmethod_worker code, to be able to have xmethod_workers
free their data in destructors, and therefore be able to use vectors of
xmethod_worker unique_ptr.
The operations in extension_language_ops that act on one instance of
xmethod_worker (get result type, get args type, invoke) are transformed
to methods of xmethod_worker. xmethod_worker becomes an abstract base
class with virtual pure methods which python_xmethod_worker implements.
The only xmethod-related operation left in extension_language_ops is
get_matching_xmethod_workers, which returns a list of xmethod_workers.
The changes are relatively straightforward, but here are some notes on
things that may raise eyebrows:
- I was not really comfortable with the value_of_xmethod function. At
first it looks like a simple getter, so I considered making it a
method of xmethod_worker. But actually it creates a value and
transfers the ownership of the xmethod_worker to it. It would be a
bit weird and error-prone if calling a method on an object silently
removed the ownership of the object from the caller. To reflect the
behavior more accurately, I renamed it to value_from_xmethod and made
it accept an rvalue-reference (so the caller knows it gives away the
ownership). I noticed the backlink from xmethod_worker to its owning
value was not used, so I removed it.
- Some code, like get_matching_xmethod_workers, made each callee fill
a new vector, which was then merged in the result vector. I think
it's safe if we always pass the same vector around, and each
implementation just appends to it.
- The clone operation does not seem particularly useful, it is removed
in the following patch.

The first patch in this series went through several iterations as I'd
forgotten how many places had to be touched to add a new event and a
new event type.
This patch simplifies the process using two new ".def" files. Now, a
new event type can be added by adding a line to "py-event-types.def",
and a new event registry can be added by adding a line to
"py-all-events.def".

-Wwrite-strings flags code like:
static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []".
We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this:
- static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
+ static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer
works OOTB, because PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords expects a "char **":
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw,
const char *format,
char *keywords[], ...);
and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **". C++
is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **>
is fine. However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves,
this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here
with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a
single place.

Unfortunately, PyGetSetDef's 'name' and 'doc' members are 'char *'
instead of 'const char *', meaning that in order to list-initialize
PyGetSetDef arrays using string literals requires writing explicit
'char *' casts. For example:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
- { "address", valpy_get_address, NULL, "The address of the value.",
+ { (char *) "address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
+ (char *) "The address of the value.",
NULL },
- { "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
+ { (char *) "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
"out (i.e., not available).",
NULL },
- { "type", valpy_get_type, NULL, "Type of the value.", NULL },
- { "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
- "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
- { "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
+ { (char *) "type", valpy_get_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
from the inferior). A lazy value is fetched when needed, or when\n\
the \"fetch_lazy()\" method is called.", NULL },
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
We have ~20 such arrays, and I first wrote a patch that fixed all of
them like that... It's not pretty...
One way to make these a bit less ugly would be add a new macro that
hides the casts, like:
#define GDBPY_GSDEF(NAME, GET, SET, DOC, CLOSURE) \
{ (char *) NAME, GET, SET, (char *) DOC, CLOSURE }
and then use it like:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
GDBPY_GSDEF ("address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
"The address of the value.", NULL),
GDBPY_GSDEF ("is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
"Boolean telling whether the value is optimized ", NULL),
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
};
But since we have C++11, which gives us constexpr and list
initialization, I thought of a way that requires no changes where the
arrays are initialized:
We add a new type that extends PyGetSetDef (called gdb_PyGetSetDef),
and add constexpr constructors that accept const 'name' and 'doc', and
then list/aggregate initialization simply "calls" these matching
constructors instead.
I put "calls" in quotes, because given "constexpr", it's all done at
compile time, and there's no overhead either in binary size or at run
time. In fact, we get identical binaries, before/after this change.
Unlike the fixes that fix some old Python API to match the API of more
recent Python, this switches to using explicit "gdb_PyGetSetDef"
everywhere, just to be clear that we are using our own version of it.
