If we have multiple registered unwinders, this will helps identify which
unwinder was chosen and make it easier to track down potential problems.
Unwinders have a mandatory name argument, which we can use in the
message.
First, make gdb._execute_unwinders return a tuple containing the name,
in addition to the UnwindInfo. Then, make pyuw_sniffer include the name
in the debug message.
I moved the debug message earlier. I think it's good to print it as
early as possible, so that we see it in case an assert is hit in the
loop below, for example.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/lib/gdb/__init__.py (_execute_unwinders): Return tuple
with name of chosen unwinder.
* python/py-unwind.c (pyuw_sniffer): Print name of chosen
unwinder in debug message.

While reviewing a patch sent to the mailing list, I noticed there are few
places where python code checks if a variable is 'None' or not by using the
comparison operators '==' and '!='. PEP8[1], which is used as coding standard
in GDB coding standards, recommends using 'is' / 'is not' when comparing to a
singleton such as 'None'.
This patch proposes to change the instances of '== None' by 'is None' and
'!= None' by 'is not None'.

Re-format all Python files using black [1] version 21.4b0. The goal is
that from now on, we keep all Python files formatted using black. And
that we never have to discuss formatting during review (for these files
at least) ever again.
One change is needed in gdb.python/py-prettyprint.exp, because it
matches the string representation of an exception, which shows source
code. So the change in formatting must be replicated in the expected
regexp.
To document our usage of black I plan on adding this to the "GDB Python
Coding Standards" wiki page [2]:
--8<--
All Python source files under the `gdb/` directory must be formatted
using black version 21.4b0.
This specific version can be installed using:
$ pip3 install 'black == 21.4b0'
All you need to do to re-format files is run `black <file/directory>`,
and black will re-format any Python file it finds in there. It runs
quite fast, so the simplest is to do:
$ black gdb/
from the top-level.
If you notice that black produces changes unrelated to your patch, it's
probably because someone forgot to run it before you. In this case,
don't include unrelated hunks in your patch. Push an obvious patch
fixing the formatting and rebase your work on top of that.
-->8--
Once this is merged, I plan on setting a up an `ignoreRevsFile`
config so that git-blame ignores this commit, as described here:
https://github.com/psf/black#migrating-your-code-style-without-ruining-git-blame
I also plan on working on a git commit hook (checked in the repo) to
automatically check the formatting of the Python files on commit.

Python 3.4 has deprecated the imp module in favour of importlib. This
patch avoids the DeprecationWarning. This warning is visible to users
whose libpython.so has been compiled with --with-pydebug.
Considering that even python 3.5 has reached end of life, would it be
better to just use importlib and drop support for python 3.0 to 3.3?

Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
Consider the test-case gdb.base/async.exp. Using the executable, I run to
main, and land on a line advertised as line 26:
...
$ gdb outputs/gdb.base/async/async -ex start
Reading symbols from outputs/gdb.base/async/async...
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x4004e4: file gdb.base/async.c, line 26.
Starting program: outputs/gdb.base/async/async
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at gdb.base/async.c:26
26 y = foo ();

But actually, the line turns out to be line 28:
...
$ cat -n gdb.base/async.c
...
26 y = 2;
27 z = 9;
28 y = foo ();
...
This is caused by the following: the python colorizer initializes the lexer
with default options (no second argument to get_lexer_for_filename):
...
def colorize(filename, contents):
# Don't want any errors.
try:
lexer = lexers.get_lexer_for_filename(filename)
formatter = formatters.TerminalFormatter()
return highlight(contents, lexer, formatter)
...
which include option stripnl=True, which strips leading and trailing newlines.
This causes the python colorizer to strip the two leading newlines of async.c.
Fix this by initializing the lexer with stripnl=False.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

While GNU Source Highlight is good, it's also difficult to build and
distribute. For one thing, it needs Boost. For another, it has an
unusual configuration and installation setup.
Pygments, a Python library, doesn't suffer from these issues, and so I
thought it would be a reasonable fallback.
This patch implements this idea. GNU Source Highlight is preferred,
but if it is unavailable (or fails), the extension languages are
tried. This patch also implements support for Pygments.
Something similar could be done for Guile, using:
https://dthompson.us/projects/guile-syntax-highlight.html
However, I don't know enough about Guile internals to make this
happen, so I have not done it here.

PyFile_FromString and PyFile_AsFile have been removed in Python 3.
There is no obvious replacement that works here, and we can't just
pass our FILE* to a DLL in Windows because it may use a different
C runtime.
So we just call a Python function which reads and executes file
contents. Care must be taken to execute it in the context of
__main__.
Tested by inverting the ifdef and running the testsuite on Debian
Linux (even without the patch, I failed at running the testsuite
on Windows). I did test with both Python 2 and 3.

With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

While fixing this I noticed a few more problems in the help text of

* Wrong style for metasyntactic variables
* Indentation of the text
* ... and finally, I thought the function usage lines didn't need

would be tighter than what was done here

doesn't have any immediate effect -- but in my experience it's often
the case that I want to enable or disable an unwinder in order to see
what happens.
This patch adds a new gdb.invalidate_cached_frames function and
arranges for the relevant bits of library code to call it. I've only
partially documented this function, considering a warning sufficient
without going into all the reasons ordinary code should not call it.
The name of the new function was taken from a comment in frame.h next
to reinit_frame_cache.
No new test as I think the updates to the existing test are sufficient
to show that the code is working as intended.

PR gdb/16483 notes that the output of "info frame-filters" is quite
voluminous. In particular it prints an entry for each objfile, even if
only to say that the objfile does not have any associated frame filters.
I think it's better to only print output when there is a frame filter.
There's nothing worth doing with the no-frame-filter information, and
limiting the output makes it much more readable.

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

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.

Using Python 3.5 (I assume it's the same with 3.4 and lower, but I didn't
test), I see this:
print (enum flag_enum) (FLAG_1)^M
Python Exception <class 'TypeError'> %x format: an integer is required, not gdb.Value: ^M
$7 = ^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-pp-maint.exp: print FLAG_1
Apparently, this idiom, where v is a gdb.Value, was possible with Python 2,
but not with Python 3:
'%x' % v
In Python 2, it would automatically get converted to an integer. To solve
it, I simply added wrapped v in a call to int().
'%x' % int(v)
In Python 2, the int type is implemented with a "long" in C, so on x86-32 it's
32-bits. I was worried that doing int(v) would truncate the value and give
wrong results for enum values > 32-bits. However, the int type != the int
function. The int function does the right thing, selecting the right integer
type for the given value. I tested with large enum values on x86-32 and
Python 2, and everything works as expected.

It seems like using os.getcwdu() here is wrong both for Python 2 and Python 3.
For Python 2, this returns a 'unicode' object, which tries to get concatenated
to a 'str' object in substitute_prompt. The implicit conversion works when the
unicode string contains no accent. When it does contain an accent though,
displaying the prompt results in the following error:
(gdb) set extended-prompt \w
...
File "/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-python2/gdb/data-directory/python/gdb/prompt.py", line 138, in substitute_prompt
result += str(cmd(arg))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 49: ordinal not in range(128)
When using os.getcwd() instead, it works correctly. I suppose that Python does
the necessary decoding internally.
For Python 3, this method simply does not exist. It works fine with os.getcwd().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/lib/gdb/prompt.py (_prompt_pwd): Use os.getcwd() instead of
os.getcwdu().
In gdb/command/prompt.py:before_prompt_hook, the '\' in the new prompt
is replaced with '\\', shown as below,
> def before_prompt_hook(self, current):
> if self.value is not '':
> newprompt = gdb.prompt.substitute_prompt(self.value)
> return newprompt.replace('\\', '\\\\')
> else:
> return None
I don't see any explanations on this in comments nor email. As doc
said, "set extended-prompt \w" substitute the current working
directory, but it prints something different from what pwd or
os.getcwdu() prints on mingw32 host.
(gdb) python print os.getcwdu()^M
\\build2-lucid-cs\yqi\yqi\arm-none-eabi
(gdb) pwd^M
Working directory \\build2-lucid-cs\yqi\yqi\arm-none-eabi
(gdb) set extended-prompt \w
\\\\build2-lucid-cs\\yqi\\yqi\\arm-none-eabi
This makes me think whether the substitution in before_prompt_hook is
necessary or not. This patch is to remove this substitution.
Run gdb.python on x86_64-linux and arm-none-eabi on mingw32 host. No
regressions.

Consider the following type for which we would like to provide
a pretty-printer and manage it via RegexpCollectionPrettyPrinter:
typedef long time_t;
Currently, this does not work because this framework only considers
the type's tag name:
typename = gdb.types.get_basic_type(val.type).tag
if not typename:
return None

does not have a tag name, thus allowing the framework to also
work with typedefs like the above.

This fixes a bug in FrameDecorator.py.
FrameVars seems to assume that Frame.block can return None if there is
no block. However, it actually throws an exception.
I saw this bug while developing a frame filter, but unfortunately I
don't know how to reproduce it. It seems to me that the SAL tests in
_is_limited_frame should exclude the bad cases; and in my attempts to
write a test they do.
Nevertheless I think the fix is reasonably obvious and ought to go in.
