The pattern for using execute_command_to_string is:
...
std::string output;
output = execute_fn_to_string (fn, term_out);
...
This results in a problem when using it in a try/catch:
...
try
{
output = execute_fn_to_string (fn, term_out)
}
catch (const gdb_exception &e)
{
/* Use output. */
}
...
If an expection was thrown during execute_fn_to_string, then the output
remains unassigned, while it could be worthwhile to known what output was
generated by gdb before the expection was thrown.
Fix this by returning the string using a parameter instead:
...
execute_fn_to_string (output, fn, term_out)
...
Also add a variant without string parameter, to support places where the
function is used while ignoring the result:
...
execute_fn_to_string (fn, term_out)
...

Add a new event, gdb.events.gdb_exiting, which is called once GDB
decides it is going to exit.
This event is not triggered in the case that GDB performs a hard
abort, for example, when handling an internal error and the user
decides to quit the debug session, or if GDB hits an unexpected,
fatal, signal.
This event is triggered if the user just types 'quit' at the command
prompt, or if GDB is run with '-batch' and has processed all of the
required commands.
The new event type is gdb.GdbExitingEvent, and it has a single
attribute exit_code, which is the value that GDB is about to exit
with.
The event is triggered before GDB starts dismantling any of its own
internal state, so, my expectation is that most Python calls should
work just fine at this point.
When considering this functionality I wondered about using the
'atexit' Python module. However, this is triggered when the Python
environment is shut down, which is done from a final cleanup. At
this point we don't know for sure what other GDB state has already
been cleaned up.
String-like settings (var_string, var_filename, var_optional_filename,
var_string_noescape) currently take a pointer to a `char *` storage
variable (typically global) that holds the setting's value. I'd like to
"mordernize" this by changing them to use an std::string for storage.
An obvious reason is that string operations on std::string are often
easier to write than with C strings. And they avoid having to do any
manual memory management.
Another interesting reason is that, with `char *`, nullptr and an empty
string often both have the same meaning of "no value". String settings
are initially nullptr (unless initialized otherwise). But when doing
"set foo" (where `foo` is a string setting), the setting now points to
an empty string. For example, solib_search_path is nullptr at startup,
but points to an empty string after doing "set solib-search-path". This
leads to some code that needs to check for both to check for "no value".
Or some code that converts back and forth between NULL and "" when
getting or setting the value. I find this very error-prone, because it
is very easy to forget one or the other. With std::string, we at least
know that the variable is not "NULL". There is only one way of
representing an empty string setting, that is with an empty string.
I was wondering whether the distinction between NULL and "" would be
important for some setting, but it doesn't seem so. If that ever
happens, it would be more C++-y and self-descriptive to use
optional<string> anyway.
Actually, there's one spot where this distinction mattered, it's in
init_history, for the test gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp. init_history
sets the history filename to the default ".gdb_history" if it sees that
the setting was never set - if history_filename is nullptr. If
history_filename is an empty string, it means the setting was explicitly
cleared, so it leaves it as-is. With the change to std::string, this
distinction doesn't exist anymore. This can be fixed by moving the code
that chooses a good default value for history_filename to
_initialize_top. This is ran before -ex commands are processed, so an
-ex command can then clear that value if needed (what
gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp tests).
Another small improvement, in my opinion is that we can now easily
give string parameters initial values, by simply initializing the global
variables, instead of xstrdup-ing it in the _initialize function.
In Python and Guile, when registering a string-like parameter, we
allocate (with new) an std::string that is owned by the param_smob (in
Guile) and the parmpy_object (in Python) objects.
This patch started by changing all relevant add_setshow_* commands to
take an `std::string *` instead of a `char **` and fixing everything
that failed to build. That includes of course all string setting
variable and their uses.
string_option_def now uses an std::string also, because there's a
connection between options and settings (see
add_setshow_cmds_for_options).
The add_path function in source.c is really complex and twisted, I'd
rather not try to change it to work on an std::string right now.
Instead, I added an overload that copies the std:string to a `char *`
and back. This means more copying, but this is not used in a hot path
at all, so I think it is acceptable.

Make gdb_open_cloexec return a scoped_fd, to encourage using automatic
management of the file descriptor closing. Except in the most trivial
cases, I changed the callers to just release the fd, which retains their
existing behavior. That will allow the transition to using scoped_fd
more to go gradually, one caller at a time.

When building gdb with "-Wall -O2 -g -flto=auto", I run into:
...
(gdb) call clear_complaints()^M
No symbol "clear_complaints" in current context.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.gdb/complaints.exp: clear complaints
...
The problem is that lto has optimized away the clear_complaints function
and consequently the selftest doesn't work.
Fix this by reimplementing the selftest as a unit test.
Factor out two new functions:
- void
execute_fn_to_ui_file (struct ui_file *file, std::function<void(void)> fn);
- std::string
execute_fn_to_string (std::function<void(void)> fn, bool term_out);
and use the latter to capture the complaints output.

The async_init_signals has, for some time, dealt with async and sync
signals, so removing the async prefix makes sense I think.
Additionally, as pointed out by Pedro:
.....
The comments relating to SIGTRAP and SIGQUIT within this function are
out of date.
The comments for SIGTRAP talk about the signal disposition (SIG_IGN)
being passed to the inferior, meaning the signal disposition being
inherited by GDB's fork children. However, we now call
restore_original_signals_state prior to forking, so the comment on
SIGTRAP is redundant.
The comments for SIGQUIT are similarly out of date, further, the
comment on SIGQUIT talks about problems with BSD4.3 and vfork,
however, we have not supported BSD4.3 for several years now.
Given the above, it seems that changing the disposition of SIGTRAP is
no longer needed, so I've deleted the signal() call for SIGTRAP.
Finally, the header comment on the function now called
gdb_init_signals was getting quite out of date, so I've updated it
to (hopefully) better reflect reality.
There should be no user visible change after this commit.
Some add_set_show commands return a single cmd_list_element, the one for
the "set" command. A subsequent patch will need to access the show
command's cmd_list_element as well. Change these functions to return a
new structure type that holds both pointers.
I initially only modified add_setshow_boolean_cmd (the one I needed),
but I think it's better to change the whole chain to keep everything in
sync.

Same idea as the previous patches, but for whether a command is a
"command class help" command. I think this one is particularly useful,
because it's not obvious when reading code what "c->func == NULL" means.

cmd_list_element::is_command_class_help (except it doesn't give a clue
about the semantic of a NULL func value).

While browsing this code, I found the name "prefixlist" really

it's a list of sub-commands, for a prefix command. I think that

Previously, the prefixname field of struct cmd_list_element was manually
set for prefix commands. This seems verbose and error prone as it
required every single call to functions adding prefix commands to
specify the prefix name while the same information can be easily
generated.
Historically, this was not possible as the prefix field was null for
many commands, but this was fixed in commit
3f4d92ebdf by Philippe Waroquiers, so
we can rely on the prefix field being set when generating the prefix
name.
This commit also fixes a use after free in this scenario:
* A command gets created via Python (using the gdb.Command class).
The prefix name member is dynamically allocated.
* An alias to the new command is created. The alias's prefixname is set
to point to the prefixname for the original command with a direct
assignment.
* A new command with the same name as the Python command is created.
* The object for the original Python command gets freed and its
prefixname gets freed as well.
* The alias is updated to point to the new command, but its prefixname
is not updated so it keeps pointing to the freed one.

Now (thanks to the last few commits) all extension languages are
fully initialised in their finish_initialization method, this commit
delays the call to this method until after the early initialization
files have been processed.
Right now there's no benefit from doing this, but in a later commit I
plan to add new options for Python that will control how Python is
initialized.
With this commit in place, my next commits will allow the user to add
options to their early initialization file and alter how Python starts
up.

It was reported on IRC that using gdb.parameter('data-directory')
doesn't work correctly.
The problem is that the data directory is stored in 'gdb_datadir',
however the set/show command is associated with a temporary
'staged_gdb_datadir'.
When the user does 'set data-directory VALUE', the VALUE is stored in
'staged_gdb_datadir' by GDB, then set_gdb_datadir is called. This in
turn calls set_gdb_data_directory to copy the value from
staged_gdb_datadir into gdb_datadir.
However, set_gdb_data_directory will resolve relative paths, so the
value stored in gdb_datadir might not match the value in
staged_gdb_datadir.
The Python gdb.parameter API fetches the parameter values by accessing
the variable associated with the show command, so in this case
staged_gdb_datadir. This causes two problems:
1. Initially staged_gdb_datadir is NULL, and remains as such until the
user does 'set data-directory VALUE' (which might never happen), but
gdb_datadir starts with GDB's default data-directory value. So
initially from Python gdb.parameter('data-directory') will return the
empty string, even though at GDB's CLI 'show data-directory' prints a
real path.
2. If the user does 'set data-directory ./some/relative/path', GDB
will resolve the relative path, thus, 'show data-directory' at the CLI
will print an absolute path. However, the value is staged_gdb_datadir
will still be the relative path, and gdb.parameter('data-directory')
from Python will return the relative path.
In this commit I fix both of these issues by:
1. Initialising the value in staged_gdb_datadir based on the initial
value in gdb_datadir, and
2. In set_gdb_datadir, after calling set_gdb_data_directory, I copy
the value in gdb_datadir back into staged_gdb_datadir.
With these two changes in place the value in staged_gdb_datadir should
always match the value in gdb_datadir, and accessing data-directory
from Python should now work correctly.

The rationale for this patch comes from the ROCm port [1], the goal
being to reduce the number of back and forths between GDB and the
target when doing successive operations. I'll start with explaining
the rationale and then go over the implementation. In the ROCm / GPU
world, the term "wave" is somewhat equivalent to a "thread" in GDB.
So if you read if from a GPU stand point, just s/thread/wave/.
ROCdbgapi, the library used by GDB [2] to communicate with the GPU
target, gives the illusion that it's possible for the debugger to
control (start and stop) individual threads. But in reality, this is
not how it works. Under the hood, all threads of a queue are
controlled as a group. To stop one thread in a group of running ones,
the state of all threads is retrieved from the GPU, all threads are
destroyed, and all threads but the one we want to stop are re-created
from the saved state. The net result, from the point of view of GDB,
is that the library stopped one thread. The same thing goes if we
want to resume one thread while others are running: the state of all
running threads is retrieved from the GPU, they are all destroyed, and
they are all re-created, including the thread we want to resume.
This leads to some inefficiencies when combined with how GDB works,
here are two examples:
- Stopping all threads: because the target operates in non-stop mode,
when the user interface mode is all-stop, GDB must stop all threads
individually when presenting a stop. Let's suppose we have 1000
threads and the user does ^C. GDB asks the target to stop one
thread. Behind the scenes, the library retrieves 1000 thread
states and restores the 999 others still running ones. GDB asks
the target to stop another one. The target retrieves 999 thread
states and restores the 998 remaining ones. That means that to
stop 1000 threads, we did 1000 back and forths with the GPU. It
would have been much better to just retrieve the states once and
stop there.
- Resuming with pending events: suppose the 1000 threads hit a
breakpoint at the same time. The breakpoint is conditional and
evaluates to true for the first thread, to false for all others.
GDB pulls one event (for the first thread) from the target, decides
that it should present a stop, so stops all threads using
stop_all_threads. All these other threads have a breakpoint event
to report, which is saved in `thread_info::suspend::waitstatus` for
later. When the user does "continue", GDB resumes that one thread
that did hit the breakpoint. It then processes the pending events
one by one as if they just arrived. It picks one, evaluates the
condition to false, and resumes the thread. It picks another one,
evaluates the condition to false, and resumes the thread. And so
on. In between each resumption, there is a full state retrieval
and re-creation. It would be much nicer if we could wait a little
bit before sending those threads on the GPU, until it processed all
those pending events.
To address this kind of performance issue, ROCdbgapi has a concept
called "forward progress required", which is a boolean state that
allows its user (i.e. GDB) to say "I'm doing a bunch of operations,
you can hold off putting the threads on the GPU until I'm done" (the
"forward progress not required" state). Turning forward progress back
on indicates to the library that all threads that are supposed to be
running should now be really running on the GPU.
It turns out that GDB has a similar concept, though not as general,
commit_resume. One difference is that commit_resume is not stateful:
the target can't look up "does the core need me to schedule resumed
threads for execution right now". It is also specifically linked to
the resume method, it is not used in other contexts. The target
accumulates resumption requests through target_ops::resume calls, and
then commits those resumptions when target_ops::commit_resume is
called. The target has no way to check if it's ok to leave resumed
threads stopped in other target methods.
To bridge the gap, this patch generalizes the commit_resume concept in
GDB to match the forward progress concept of ROCdbgapi. The current
name (commit_resume) can be interpreted as "commit the previous resume
calls". I renamed the concept to "commit_resumed", as in "commit the
threads that are resumed".
In the new version, we have two things:
- the commit_resumed_state field in process_stratum_target: indicates
whether GDB requires target stacks using this target to have
resumed threads committed to the execution target/device. If
false, an execution target is allowed to leave resumed threads
un-committed at the end of whatever method it is executing.
- the commit_resumed target method: called when commit_resumed_state
transitions from false to true. While commit_resumed_state was
false, the target may have left some resumed threads un-committed.
This method being called tells it that it should commit them back
to the execution device.
Let's take the "Stopping all threads" scenario from above and see how
it would work with the ROCm target with this change. Before stopping
all threads, GDB would set the target's commit_resumed_state field to
false. It would then ask the target to stop the first thread. The
target would retrieve all threads' state from the GPU and mark that
one as stopped. Since commit_resumed_state is false, it leaves all
the other threads (still resumed) stopped. GDB would then proceed to
call target_stop for all the other threads. Since resumed threads are
not committed, this doesn't do any back and forth with the GPU.
To simplify the implementation of targets, this patch makes it so that
when calling certain target methods, the contract between the core and
the targets guarantees that commit_resumed_state is false. This way,
the target doesn't need two paths, one for commit_resumed_state ==
true and one for commit_resumed_state == false. It can just assert
that commit_resumed_state is false and work with that assumption.
This also helps catch places where we forgot to disable
commit_resumed_state before calling the method, which represents a
probable optimization opportunity. The commit adds assertions in the
target method wrappers (target_resume and friends) to have some
confidence that this contract between the core and the targets is
respected.
The scoped_disable_commit_resumed type is used to disable the commit
resumed state of all process targets on construction, and selectively
re-enable it on destruction (see below for criteria). Note that it
only sets the process_stratum_target::commit_resumed_state flag. A
subsequent call to maybe_call_commit_resumed_all_targets is necessary
to call the commit_resumed method on all target stacks with process
targets that got their commit_resumed_state flag turned back on. This
separation is because we don't want to call the commit_resumed methods
in scoped_disable_commit_resumed's destructor, as they may throw.
On destruction, commit-resumed is not re-enabled for a given target
if:
1. this target has no threads resumed, or
2. this target has at least one resumed thread with a pending status
known to the core (saved in thread_info::suspend::waitstatus).
The first point is not technically necessary, because a proper
commit_resumed implementation would be a no-op if the target has no
resumed threads. But since we have a flag do to a quick check, it
shouldn't hurt.
The second point is more important: together with the
scoped_disable_commit_resumed instance added in fetch_inferior_event,
it makes it so the "Resuming with pending events" described above is
handled efficiently. Here's what happens in that case:
1. The user types "continue".
2. Upon destruction, the scoped_disable_commit_resumed in the
`proceed` function does not enable commit-resumed, as it sees some
threads have pending statuses.
3. fetch_inferior_event is called to handle another event, the
breakpoint hit evaluates to false, and that thread is resumed.
Because there are still more threads with pending statuses, the
destructor of scoped_disable_commit_resumed in
fetch_inferior_event still doesn't enable commit-resumed.
4. Rinse and repeat step 3, until the last pending status is handled
by fetch_inferior_event. In that case,
scoped_disable_commit_resumed's destructor sees there are no more
threads with pending statues, so it asks the target to commit
resumed threads.
This allows us to avoid all unnecessary back and forths, there is a
single commit_resumed call once all pending statuses are processed.
This change required remote_target::remote_stop_ns to learn how to
handle stopping threads that were resumed but pending vCont. The
simplest example where that happens is when using the remote target in
all-stop, but with "maint set target-non-stop on", to force it to
operate in non-stop mode under the hood. If two threads hit a
breakpoint at the same time, GDB will receive two stop replies. It
will present the stop for one thread and save the other one in
thread_info::suspend::waitstatus.
Before this patch, when doing "continue", GDB first resumes the thread
without a pending status:
Sending packet: $vCont;c:p172651.172676#f3
It then consumes the pending status in the next fetch_inferior_event
call:
[infrun] do_target_wait_1: Using pending wait status status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP for Thread 1517137.1517137.
[infrun] target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
[infrun] 1517137.1517137.0 [Thread 1517137.1517137],
[infrun] status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
It then realizes it needs to stop all threads to present the stop, so
stops the thread it just resumed:
[infrun] stop_all_threads: Thread 1517137.1517137 not executing
[infrun] stop_all_threads: Thread 1517137.1517174 executing, need stop
remote_stop called
Sending packet: $vCont;t:p172651.172676#04
This is an unnecessary resume/stop. With this patch, we don't commit
resumed threads after proceeding, because of the pending status:
[infrun] maybe_commit_resumed_all_process_targets: not requesting commit-resumed for target extended-remote, a thread has a pending waitstatus
When GDB handles the pending status and stop_all_threads runs, we stop a
resumed but pending vCont thread:
remote_stop_ns: Enqueueing phony stop reply for thread pending vCont-resume (1520940, 1520976, 0)
That thread was never actually resumed on the remote stub / gdbserver,
so we shouldn't send a packet to the remote side asking to stop the
thread.
Note that there are paths that resume the target and then do a
synchronous blocking wait, in sort of nested event loop, via
wait_sync_command_done. For example, inferior function calls, or any
run control command issued from a breakpoint command list. We handle
that making wait_sync_command_one a "sync" point -- force forward
progress, or IOW, force-enable commit-resumed state.

The function execute_command_to_string had two header comments, one in
gdbcmd.h and one in top.c.
This commit merges the two comments into one and places this comment
in gdbcmd.h. The comment in top.c is updated to just reference
gdbcmd.h.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbcmd.h (execute_command_to_string): Update comment.
* top.c (execute_command_to_string): Update header comment.
This commit adds a new 'version' style, which replaces the hard coded
styling currently used for GDB's version string. GDB's version number
is displayed:
1. In the output of 'show version', and
2. When GDB starts up (without the --quiet option).
This new style can only ever affect the first of these two cases as
the second case is printed before GDB has processed any initialization
files, or processed any GDB commands passed on the command line.
However, because the first case exists I think this commit makes
sense, it means the style is no longer hard coded into GDB, and we can
add some tests that the style can be enabled/disabled correctly.
This commit is an alternative to a patch Tom posted here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169820.html
I've used the style name 'version' instead of 'startup' to reflect
what the style is actually used for. If other parts of the startup
text end up being highlighted I imagine they would get their own
styles based on what is being highlighted. I feel this is more inline
with the other style names that are already in use within GDB.
I also decoupled adding this style from the idea of startup options,
and the possibility of auto-saving startup options. Those ideas can
be explored in later patches.
This commit should probably be considered only a partial solution to
issue PR cli/25956. The colours of the style are no longer hard
coded, however, it is still impossible to change the styling of the
version string displayed during startup, so in one sense, the styling
of that string is still "hard coded". A later patch will hopefully
extend GDB to allow it to adjust the version styling before the
initial version string is printed.

This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start
of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
I noticed that deprecated aliases that have a prefix don't give a
deprecated command warning. For example looking in mi/mi-main.c we
see this:
c = add_alias_cmd ("target-async", "mi-async", class_run, 0, &setlist);
deprecate_cmd (c, "set mi-async");
c = add_alias_cmd ("target-async", "mi-async", class_run, 0, &showlist);
deprecate_cmd (c, "show mi-async");
So both 'set target-async' and 'show target-async' are deprecated and
should be giving a warning, however, in use we see no warning given.
This is a consequence of how the code that should give this
warning (deprecated_cmd_warning) performs a second command lookup in
order to distinguish between aliases and real commands, and that the
code that calls this (lookup_cmd_1) strips off prefix commands as it
calls itself recursively.
As a result when we are considering an alias like 'set target-async'
we first enter lookup_cmd_1 with text = "set target-async", we spot
the 'set' command prefix and then recursively call lookup_cmd_1 with
text = "target-async".
We spot that 'target-async' is a known alias but that it is
deprecated, and so call deprecated_cmd_warning passing in the value of
text, which remember is now "target-async".
In deprecated_cmd_warning we again perform a command lookup starting
from the top-level cmdlist, but now we're trying to find just
"target-async", this fails (as this command requires the 'set' prefix,
and so no warning is given.
I resolved this issue by passing a command list to the function
deprecated_cmd_warning, this is the list in which the command can be
found.
A new test is added to cover this case.
However, there is an additional problem which will be addressed in a
subsequent patch.
Consider this GDB session:
(gdb) define set xxx_yyy
Type commands for definition of "set xxx_yyy".
End with a line saying just "end".
>echo in set xxx_yyy command\n
>end
(gdb) alias set qqq_aaa=set xxx_yyy
(gdb) maintenance deprecate set qqq_aaa
(gdb) set qqq_aaa
Warning: 'qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'xxx_yyy' is deprecated.
No alternative known.
in set xxx_yyy command
(gdb)
Notice the warning mentions 'qqq_aaa' and 'xxx_yyy', I consider this
to be wrong. I think the proper warning should read:
(gdb) set qqq_aaa
Warning: 'set qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'set xxx_yyy' is deprecated.
No alternative known.
With the 'set' prefixes added. A later patch will resolve this
issue.

Assign names to event loop file handlers. They will be used in debug
messages when file handlers are invoked.
In GDB, each UI used to get its own unique number, until commit
cbe256847e ("Remove ui::num"). Re-introduce this field, and use it to
make a unique name for the handler.
I'm not too sure what goes on in ser-base.c, all I know is that it's
what is used when debugging remotely. I've just named the main handler
"serial". It would be good to have unique names there too. For instance
when debugging with two different remote connections, we'd ideally want
the handlers to have unique names. I didn't do it in this patch though.

Currently, a user can define an alias, but cannot have default
arguments for this alias.
This patch modifies the 'alias' command so that default args can
be provided.
(gdb) h alias
Define a new command that is an alias of an existing command.
Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND [DEFAULT-ARGS...]
ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create.
COMMAND is the command being aliased to.
Options:
-a
Specify that ALIAS is an abbreviation of COMMAND.
Abbreviations are not used in command completion..
GDB will automatically prepend the provided DEFAULT-ARGS to the list
of arguments explicitly provided when using ALIAS.
Use "help aliases" to list all user defined aliases and their default args.
Examples:
Make "spe" an alias of "set print elements":
alias spe set print elements
Make "elms" an alias of "elements" in the "set print" command:
alias -a set print elms set print elements
Make "btf" an alias of "backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main" :
alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
Make "wLapPeu" an alias of 2 nested "with":
alias wLapPeu = with language pascal -- with print elements unlimited --
(gdb)
The way 'default-args' is implemented makes it trivial to set default
args also for GDB commands (such as "backtrace") and for GDB pre-defined
aliases (such as "bt"). It was however deemed better to not allow to
define default arguments for pre-defined commands and aliases, to avoid
users believing that e.g. default args for "backtrace" would apply to "bt".
If needed, default-args could be allowed for GDB predefined commands
and aliases by adding a command
'set default-args GDB_COMMAND_OR_PREDEFINED_ALIAS [DEFAULT-ARGS...]'.
* 'alias' command now has a completer that helps to complete:
- ALIAS (if the user defines an alias after a prefix),
- the aliased COMMAND
- the possible options for the aliased COMMAND.
* Help and apropos commands show the definitions of the aliases
that have default arguments, e.g.
(gdb) help backtrace
backtrace, btf, where, bt
alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
Usage: backtrace [OPTION]... [QUALIFIER]... [COUNT | -COUNT]
Options:
-entry-values no|only|preferred|if-needed|both|compact|default
Set printing of function arguments at function entry.

Currently there are many prefix commands that do nothing but call
either help_list or cmd_show_list. I happened to notice that one such
call, for "set print type", used the wrong command list parameter,
causing incorrect output.
Rather than fix this bug in isolation, I decided to eliminate this
possibility by adding two new ways to add prefix commands, which
simply route the call to help_list or cmd_show_list, as appropriate.
This makes it impossible for a mismatch to occur.
In some cases, a bit of output was removed; however, I don't think
this output in general was very useful. It seemed redundant with
what's already printed by help_list. A representative example is this
hunk, removed from ada-lang.c:
- printf_unfiltered (_(\
-"\"set ada\" must be followed by the name of a setting.\n"));
This simplified the CLI style set/show commands quite a bit, and
allowed the deletion of a macro.
This also cleans up some unusual code in windows-tdep.c.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 30. Note that I have no way to build the
go32-nat.c change.

* gdb_select.h: Move from ../gdb/.
This commit aims to give a cleaner mechanism by which the user can
prevent GDB from trying to load any previous command history.
Currently the user can change the path to the history file, either
using a command line flag, or by setting the GDBHISTFILE environment
variable, and if the path is set to a non-existent file, then
obviously GDB wont load any command history. However, this feels like
a bit of a bodge, I'd like to add an official mechanism by which we
can disable command history loading.
Why would we want to prevent command history loading? The specific
use case I have is GDB starting with a CWD that is a network mounted
directory, and there is no command history present. Still GDB will
access the network in order to check for the file. In my particular
use case I'm actually starting a large number of GDB instances in
parallel, all in the same network mounted directory, the large number
of network accesses looking for this file introduces a noticeable
delay at GDB startup.
The approach I'm proposing here is a slight adjustment to the current
rules for setting up the history filename. Currently, if a user does
this, they see an error:
(gdb) set history filename
Argument required (filename to set it to.).
However, if a user does this:
$ GDBHISTFILE= gdb --quiet
(gdb) set history save on
(gdb) q
warning: Could not rename -gdb18416~ to : No such file or directory
So, we already have a bug in this area. My plan is to allow the empty
filename to be accepted, and for this to mean, neither load, nor save
the command history.
This does mean that we now have two mechanisms to prevent saving the
command history:
(gdb) set history filename
or
(gdb) set history save off
But the only way to prevent loading the command history is to set the
filename to the empty string _before_ you get to a GDB prompt, either
using a command line option, or the environment variable.
I've updated some of the show commands, for example this session:
(gdb) set history filename
(gdb) show history filename
There is no filename currently set for recording the command history in.
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history record on exit is off.
(gdb) set history save on
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history is disabled due to the value of 'history filename'.
(gdb) set history filename /tmp/hist
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history record on exit is on.
I've updated the manual, and added some tests.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging
resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP.
This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug
files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them.
GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure
option.
This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.
For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 31.

This commit adds multi-target support to GDB. What this means is that
with this commit, GDB can now be connected to different targets at the
same time. E.g., you can debug a live native process and a core dump
at the same time, connect to multiple gdbservers, etc.
Actually, the word "target" is overloaded in gdb. We already have a
target stack, with pushes several target_ops instances on top of one
another. We also have "info target" already, which means something
completely different to what this patch does.
So from here on, I'll be using the "target connections" term, to mean
an open process_stratum target, pushed on a target stack. This patch
makes gdb have multiple target stacks, and multiple process_stratum
targets open simultaneously. The user-visible changes / commands will
also use this terminology, but of course it's all open to debate.
User-interface-wise, not that much changes. The main difference is
that each inferior may have its own target connection.
A target connection (e.g., a target extended-remote connection) may
support debugging multiple processes, just as before.
Say you're debugging against gdbserver in extended-remote mode, and
you do "add-inferior" to prepare to spawn a new process, like:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) file a.out
...
(gdb) start
...
At this point, you have two inferiors connected to the same gdbserver.
With this commit, GDB will maintain a target stack per inferior,
instead of a global target stack.
To preserve the behavior above, by default, "add-inferior" makes the
new inferior inherit a copy of the target stack of the current
inferior. Same across a fork - the child inherits a copy of the
target stack of the parent. While the target stacks are copied, the
targets themselves are not. Instead, target_ops is made a
refcounted_object, which means that target_ops instances are
refcounted, which each inferior counting for a reference.
What if you want to create an inferior and connect it to some _other_
target? For that, this commit introduces a new "add-inferior
-no-connection" option that makes the new inferior not share the
current inferior's target. So you could do:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
Remote debugging using :9999
...
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 <null>
(gdb) tar extended-remote :10000
Remote debugging using :10000
...
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 process 18450 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
(gdb)
A following patch will extended "info inferiors" to include a column
indicating which connection an inferior is bound to, along with a
couple other UI tweaks.
Other than that, debugging is the same as before. Users interact with
inferiors and threads as before. The only difference is that
inferiors may be bound to processes running in different machines.
That's pretty much all there is to it in terms of noticeable UI
changes.
On to implementation.
Since we can be connected to different systems at the same time, a
ptid_t is no longer a unique identifier. Instead a thread can be
identified by a pair of ptid_t and 'process_stratum_target *', the
later being the instance of the process_stratum target that owns the
process/thread. Note that process_stratum_target inherits from
target_ops, and all process_stratum targets inherit from
process_stratum_target. In earlier patches, many places in gdb were
converted to refer to threads by thread_info pointer instead of
ptid_t, but there are still places in gdb where we start with a
pid/tid and need to find the corresponding inferior or thread_info
objects. So you'll see in the patch many places adding a
process_stratum_target parameter to functions that used to take only a
ptid_t.
Since each inferior has its own target stack now, we can always find
the process_stratum target for an inferior. That is done via a
inf->process_target() convenience method.
Since each inferior has its own target stack, we need to handle the
"beneath" calls when servicing target calls. The solution I settled
with is just to make sure to switch the current inferior to the
inferior you want before making a target call. Not relying on global
context is just not feasible in current GDB. Fortunately, there
aren't that many places that need to do that, because generally most
code that calls target methods already has the current context
pointing to the right inferior/thread. Note, to emphasize -- there's
no method to "switch to this target stack". Instead, you switch the
current inferior, and that implicitly switches the target stack.
In some spots, we need to iterate over all inferiors so that we reach
all target stacks.
Native targets are still singletons. There's always only a single
instance of such targets.
Remote targets however, we'll have one instance per remote connection.
The exec target is still a singleton. There's only one instance. I
did not see the point of instanciating more than one exec_target
object.
After vfork, we need to make sure to push the exec target on the new
inferior. See exec_on_vfork.
For type safety, functions that need a {target, ptid} pair to identify
a thread, take a process_stratum_target pointer for target parameter
instead of target_ops *. Some shared code in gdb/nat/ also need to
gain a target pointer parameter. This poses an issue, since gdbserver
doesn't have process_stratum_target, only target_ops. To fix this,
this commit renames gdbserver's target_ops to process_stratum_target.
I think this makes sense. There's no concept of target stack in
gdbserver, and gdbserver's target_ops really implements a
process_stratum-like target.
The thread and inferior iterator functions also gain
process_stratum_target parameters. These are used to be able to
iterate over threads and inferiors of a given target. Following usual
conventions, if the target pointer is null, then we iterate over
threads and inferiors of all targets.
I tried converting "add-inferior" to the gdb::option framework, as a
preparatory patch, but that stumbled on the fact that gdb::option does
not support file options yet, for "add-inferior -exec". I have a WIP
patchset that adds that, but it's not a trivial patch, mainly due to
need to integrate readline's filename completion, so I deferred that
to some other time.
In infrun.c/infcmd.c, the main change is that we need to poll events
out of all targets. See do_target_wait. Right after collecting an
event, we switch the current inferior to an inferior bound to the
target that reported the event, so that target methods can be used
while handling the event. This makes most of the code transparent to
multi-targets. See fetch_inferior_event.
infrun.c:stop_all_threads is interesting -- in this function we need
to stop all threads of all targets. What the function does is send an
asynchronous stop request to all threads, and then synchronously waits
for events, with target_wait, rinse repeat, until all it finds are
stopped threads. Now that we have multiple targets, it's not
efficient to synchronously block in target_wait waiting for events out
of one target. Instead, we implement a mini event loop, with
interruptible_select, select'ing on one file descriptor per target.
For this to work, we need to be able to ask the target for a waitable
file descriptor. Such file descriptors already exist, they are the
descriptors registered in the main event loop with add_file_handler,
inside the target_async implementations. This commit adds a new
target_async_wait_fd target method that just returns the file
descriptor in question. See wait_one / stop_all_threads in infrun.c.
The 'threads_executing' global is made a per-target variable. Since
it is only relevant to process_stratum_target targets, this is where
it is put, instead of in target_ops.
You'll notice that remote.c includes some FIXME notes. These refer to
the fact that the global arrays that hold data for the remote packets
supported are still globals. For example, if we connect to two
different servers/stubs, then each might support different remote
protocol features. They might even be different architectures, like
e.g., one ARM baremetal stub, and a x86 gdbserver, to debug a
host/controller scenario as a single program. That isn't going to
work correctly today, because of said globals. I'm leaving fixing
that for another pass, since it does not appear to be trivial, and I'd
rather land the base work first. It's already useful to be able to
debug multiple instances of the same server (e.g., a distributed
cluster, where you have full control over the servers installed), so I
think as is it's already reasonable incremental progress.
Current limitations:
- You can only resume more that one target at the same time if all
targets support asynchronous debugging, and support non-stop mode.
It should be possible to support mixed all-stop + non-stop
backends, but that is left for another time. This means that
currently in order to do multi-target with gdbserver you need to
issue "maint set target-non-stop on". I would like to make that
mode be the default, but we're not there yet. Note that I'm
talking about how the target backend works, only. User-visible
all-stop mode works just fine.
- As explained above, connecting to different remote servers at the
same time is likely to produce bad results if they don't support the
exact set of RSP features.

[RFC] Have an option to tell GDB to detect and possibly handle mismatched exec-files.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-12/msg00621.html
I saw that GDB warnings are produced ignoring the given styles.
This patch:
* ensures that style markups are properly handled by "warning".
* changes 'set/show data-directory' so that file style is used
in warnings and in 'show message'
* changes all other messages in top.c to use file style when appropriate.
* Uses the above data-directory changes in gdb.base/style.exp
2020-01-03 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* ui-file.c (stdio_file::can_emit_style_escape)
(tee_file::can_emit_style_escape): Ensure style is used also on
gdb_stderr when gdb_stderr is a tty supporting styling, similarly
to gdb_stdout.
* main.c (set_gdb_data_directory): Use file style to output the
warning that the given pathname is not a directory.
* top.c (show_history_filename, gdb_safe_append_history)
(show_gdb_datadir): Use file style.
2020-01-03 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* gdb.base/style.exp: Test that warnings are styled.

This looks like a legitimate warning, the fprintf_filtered is too much
indented. Fix it, and at the same time add a bit of whitespace to make
this function easier to read.

* top.c (print_gdb_configuration): Adjust indentation.

Hi,
This bug has been reported against Fedora GDB, but there's also an
upstream bug. The problem reported is that GDB segfaults when the
working directory is deleted. It's pretty use to reproduce it:
mkdir bla
cd bla
rmdir ../bla
gdb echo
Debugging the problem is a bit tricky, because, since the current
directory doesn't exist anymore, a corefile cannot be saved there.
After a few attempts, I came up with the following:
gdb -ex 'shell mkdir bla' -ex 'cd bla' -ex 'shell rmdir ../bla' -ex 'r echo' ./gdb/gdb
This assumes that you're inside a build directory which contains
./gdb/gdb, of course.
After investigating it, I found that the problem happens at
gdb_abspath, where we're dereferencing 'current_directory' without
checking if it's NULL:
...
(concat (current_directory,
IS_DIR_SEPARATOR (current_directory[strlen (current_directory) - 1])
? "" : SLASH_STRING,
...
So I fixed the problem with the patch below. The idea is that, if
'current_directory' is NULL, then the final string returned should be
just the "path".
After fixing the bug, I found a similar one reported against our
bugzilla: PR gdb/23613. The problem is the same, but the reproducer
is a bit different.
I really tried writing a testcase for this, but unfortunately it's
apparently not possible to start GDB inside a non-existent directory
with DejaGNU.
I regression tested this patch on the BuildBot, and no regressions
were found.

This patch adds the new 'define-prefix' command that creates (or mark an
existing user defined command) as a prefix command.
This approach was preferred compared to add a -prefix option to
'define' command : with define-prefix, a command can be defined and
afterwards marked as a prefix. Also, it is easier to define a
'prefix' only command in one operation.
This patch also adds completers for the 'define' and 'document' commands.
This makes it easier for the user to type the prefixes for 'define'
and type the documented command name for 'document'.

I think it would be clearer to not use gen_ret_current_ui_field_ptr to
generate the implementation of current_ui_gdb_stdout_ptr et al. It
doesn't save much code, but adds a layer of complexity for the reader.
Plus, it doesn't work well with IDEs, for example if you ask to find all
usages the m_gdb_stdout field.

This changes command_line_input to return a "const char *", which is
appropriate because the memory is owned by command_line_input. Then
it fixes up the users.
I looked at making command_line_input transfer ownership to its caller
instead, but this is complicated due to the way read_next_line is
called, so I decided against it.
Tested by rebuilding.
