should generally allocate on the relevant objfile, regardless of the
placement of the index type of the array, which is what this patch

As described in the previous commit for this series, I became
concerned that there might be instances in which a QUIT (due to either
a SIGINT or SIGTERM) might not cause execution to return to the top
level. In some (though very few) instances, it is okay to not
propagate the exception for a Ctrl-C / SIGINT, but I don't think that
it is ever okay to swallow the exception caused by a SIGTERM.
Allowing that to happen would definitely be a deviation from the
current behavior in which GDB exits upon receipt of a SIGTERM.
I looked at all cases where an exception handler catches a
gdb_exception. Handlers which did NOT need modification were those
which satisifed one or more of the following conditions:
1) There is no call path to maybe_quit() in the try block. I used a
static analysis tool to help make this determination. In
instances where the tool didn't provide an answer of "yes, this
call path can result in maybe_quit() being called", I reviewed it
by hand.
2) The catch block contains a throw for conditions that it
doesn't want to handle; these "not handled" conditions
must include the quit exception and the new "forced quit" exception.
3) There was (also) a catch for gdb_exception_quit.
Any try/catch blocks not meeting the above conditions could
potentially swallow a QUIT exception.
My first thought was to add catch blocks for gdb_exception_quit and
then rethrow the exception. But Pedro pointed out that this can be
handled without adding additional code by simply catching
gdb_exception_error instead. That's what this patch series does.
There are some oddball cases which needed to be handled differently,
plus the extension languages, but those are handled in later patches.

Ada historically has not implemented agent expressions, and some Ada
constructs probably cannot reasonably be converted to agent
expressions. However, a subset of simple operations can be, and this
patch represents a first step in that direction.
On one internal AdaCore test case, this improves the performance of a
conditional breakpoint from 5 minutes to 5 seconds.
The main tricky part in this patch is ensuring the converted
expressions detect the cases that will not work. This is done by
examining the code in the corresponding evaluation methods.
This changes the block_iterator to store the 'name' that is used by
block_iter_match_next. This avoids any problem where the name could
be passed inconsistently, and also makes the subsequent patches easier
to understand.
This converts block_static_block and block_global_block to be methods.
This was mostly written by script. It was simpler to convert them at
the same time because they're often used near each other.
This converts block_scope, block_set_scope, block_using, and
block_set_using to be methods. These are all done at once to make it
easier to also convert block_initialize_namespace at the same time.
This was mostly written by script.
create_ada_exception_catchpoint has a parameter named "disabled", but
both its callers and callees use it to mean "enabled". This is
confusing, so this patch renames the parameter.
Unlike the other *_main_name functions, ada_main_name returns a
non-const "char *". This is strange, though, because the caller
should not in fact modify or free this pointer. This patch changes
this function to constify its return type.
This removes deprecated_lval_hack and the VALUE_LVAL macro, replacing
all uses with a call to value::lval.

This introduces the set_lval method on value, one step toward removing
deprecated_lval_hack. Ultimately I think the goal should be for some
of these set_* methods to be replaced with constructors; but I haven't
done this, as the series is already too long. Other 'deprecated'
methods can probably be handled the same way.

This changes allocate_value_lazy to be a static "constructor" of

I considered trying to change value to use ordinary new/delete, but it

change these static constructors to return value_ref_ptr instead.

Nearly every call to fixup_symbol_section in gdb is incorrect, and if
any such call has an effect, it's purely by happenstance.
fixup_section has a long comment explaining that the call should only
be made before runtime section offsets are applied. And, the loop in
this code (the fallback loop -- the minsym lookup code is "ok") is
careful to remove these offsets before comparing addresses.
However, aside from a single call in dwarf2/read.c, every call in gdb
is actually done after section offsets have been applied. So, these
calls are incorrect.
Now, these calls could be made when the symbol is created. I
considered this approach, but I reasoned that the code has been this
way for many years, seemingly without ill effect. So, instead I chose
to simply remove the offending calls.
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.

The use of the static buffer in command_line_input is becoming
problematic, as explained here [1]. In short, with this patch [2] that
attempt to fix a post-hook bug, when running gdb.base/commands.exp, we
hit a case where we read a "define" command line from a script file
using command_command_line_input. The command line is stored in
command_line_input's static buffer. Inside the define command's
execution, we read the lines inside the define using command_line_input,
which overwrites the define command, in command_line_input's static
buffer. After the execution of the define command, execute_command does
a command look up to see if a post-hook is registered. For that, it
uses a now stale pointer that used to point to the define command, in
the static buffer, causing a use-after-free. Note that the pointer in
execute_command points to the dynamically-allocated buffer help by the
static buffer in command_line_input, not to the static object itself,
hence why we see a use-after-free.
Fix that by removing the static buffer. I initially changed
command_line_input and other related functions to return an std::string,
which is the obvious but naive solution. The thing is that some callees
don't need to return an allocated string, so this this an unnecessary
pessimization. I changed it to passing in a reference to an std::string
buffer, which the callee can use if it needs to return
dynamically-allocated content. It fills the buffer and returns a
pointers to the C string inside. The callees that don't need to return
dynamically-allocated content simply don't use it.
So, it started with modifying command_line_input as described above, all
the other changes derive directly from that.
One slightly shady thing is in handle_line_of_input, where we now pass a
pointer to an std::string's internal buffer to readline's history_value
function, which takes a `char *`. I'm pretty sure that this function
does not modify the input string, because I was able to change it (with
enough massaging) to take a `const char *`.
A subtle change is that we now clear a UI's line buffer using a
SCOPE_EXIT in command_line_handler, after executing the command.
This was previously done by this line in handle_line_of_input:
/* We have a complete command line now. Prepare for the next
command, but leave ownership of memory to the buffer . */
cmd_line_buffer->used_size = 0;
I think the new way is clearer.

This implements the request given in PR breakpoints/12464.
Before this patch, when a breakpoint that has multiple locations is reached,
GDB printed:
Thread 1 "zeoes" hit Breakpoint 1, some_func () at somefunc1.c:5
This patch changes the message so that bkpt_print_id prints the precise
encountered breakpoint:
Thread 1 "zeoes" hit Breakpoint 1.2, some_func () at somefunc1.c:5
In mi mode, bkpt_print_id also (optionally) prints a new table field "locno":
locno is printed when the breakpoint hit has more than one location.
Note that according to the GDB user manual node 'GDB/MI Development and Front
Ends', it is ok to add new fields without changing the MI version.
Also, when a breakpoint is reached, the convenience variables
$_hit_bpnum and $_hit_locno are set to the encountered breakpoint number
and location number.
$_hit_bpnum and $_hit_locno can a.o. be used in the command list of a
breakpoint, to disable the specific encountered breakpoint, e.g.
disable $_hit_bpnum.$_hit_locno
In case the breakpoint has only one location, $_hit_locno is set to
the value 1, so as to allow a command such as:
disable $_hit_bpnum.$_hit_locno
to disable the breakpoint even when the breakpoint has only one location.
This also fixes a strange behaviour: when a breakpoint X has only
one location,
enable|disable X.1
is accepted but transforms the breakpoint in a multiple locations
breakpoint having only one location.
The changes in RFA v4 handle the comments of Tom Tromey:
- Changed convenience var names from $bkptno/$locno to
$_hit_bpnum/$_hit_locno.
- updated the tests and user manual accordingly.
User manual also explictly describes that $_hit_locno is set to 1
for a breakpoint with a single location.
- The variable values are now set in bpstat_do_actions_1 so that
they are set for silent breakpoints, and when several breakpoints
are hit at the same time, that the variables are set to the printed
breakpoint.
The changes in RFA v3 handle the additional comments of Eli:
GDB/NEW:
- Use max 80-column
- Use 'code location' instead of 'location'.
- Fix typo $bkpno
- Ensure that disable $bkptno and disable $bkptno.$locno have
each their explanation inthe example
- Reworded the 'breakpoint-hit' paragraph.
gdb.texinfo:
- Use 'code location' instead of 'location'.
- Add a note to clarify the distinction between $bkptno and $bpnum.
- Use @kbd instead of examples with only one command.
Compared to RFA v1, the changes in v2 handle the comments given by
Keith Seitz and Eli Zaretskii:
- Use %s for the result of paddress
- Use bkptno_numopt_re instead of 2 different -re cases
- use C@t{++}
- Add index entries for $bkptno and $locno
- Added an example for "locno" in the mi interface
- Added examples in the Break command manual.
Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__
explicitly, like:
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var);
The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably
because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros
availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we
already use them in several places, including the related
gdb_assert_not_reached.
So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else,
and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands
__FILE__/__LINE__ itself.
The result is that we now should call internal_error like so:
internal_error ("foo %d", var);
Likewise for internal_warning.
The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done
with a perl/sed script.
The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h,
gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.
