This simplifies memory management. I've also changed some global variables
to std::string accordingly (which store the result of these functions),
but not all because some are used with add_setshow_optional_filename_cmd
which requires a char*.

Valgrind reports the below leak.
Make the variable progname_copy static, so that Valgrind continues
to find a pointer to the memory given to Python.
Note that the comment in do_start_initialization and the Python documentation
indicates that the progname given to Py_SetProgramName cannot be freed.
However, in Python 3.7.4, Py_SetProgramName does:
void
Py_SetProgramName(const wchar_t *program_name)
{
...
PyMem_RawFree(_Py_path_config.program_name);
_Py_path_config.program_name = _PyMem_RawWcsdup(program_name);
So, it looks like 3.7.4 Python duplicates its argument, which explains
the leak found by Valgrind.
It looks better to respect the doc and not have GDB freeing the string
given to Py_SetProgramName, and avoid the leak error by declaring
the progname_copy static.
This will work with Python versions that really use this string without
duplicating it, and avoids a leak report for Python version that duplicates
it.

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.

This bug was originally reported against Fedora GDB:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1723564
The problem is that GDB will crash in the following scenario:
- PYTHONMALLOC=debug or PYTHONDEVMODE=1 is set.
- The Python debuginfo is installed.
- GDB is used to debug Python.
The crash looks like this:
$ PYTHONMALLOC=debug gdb -args python3 -c pass

Because memory is corrupted at the start, the count of bytes requested
may be bogus, and checking the trailing pad bytes may segfault.
The 8 pad bytes at tail=0x706483999ad1f330 are Segmentation fault (core dumped)
It's hard to determine what happens, but after doing some
investigation and talking to Victor Stinner I found that GDB should
not use the Python memory allocation functions before the Python
interpreter is initialized (which makes sense). However, we do just
that on python/python.c:do_start_initialization:
...
progsize = strlen (progname.get ());
progname_copy = (wchar_t *) PyMem_Malloc ((progsize + 1) * sizeof (wchar_t));
...
/* Note that Py_SetProgramName expects the string it is passed to
remain alive for the duration of the program's execution, so
it is not freed after this call. */
Py_SetProgramName (progname_copy);
...
Py_Initialize ();
PyEval_InitThreads ();
Upon reading the Python 3 C API documentation, I
found (https://docs.python.org/3.5/c-api/memory.html):
To avoid memory corruption, extension writers should never try to
operate on Python objects with the functions exported by the C
library: malloc(), calloc(), realloc() and free(). This will result in
mixed calls between the C allocator and the Python memory manager with
fatal consequences, because they implement different algorithms and
operate on different heaps. However, one may safely allocate and
release memory blocks with the C library allocator for individual
purposes[...]
And Py_SetProgramName seems like a very simple call that doesn't need
a Python-allocated memory to work on. So I'm proposing this patch,
which simply replaces PyMem_Malloc by xmalloc.
Testing this is more complicated. First, the crash is completely
non-deterministic; I was able to reproduce it 10 times in a row, and
then I wasn't able to reproduce it anymore. I found that if you
completely remove your build directory and rebuild GDB from scratch,
you can reproduce it again confidently. And with my patch, I
confirmed that the bug doesn't manifest even in this situation.
No regressions found.
OK to apply?

ARI pointed out that a recent patch introduced a call to "warning"
with a string that ended in a newline:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00000.html
This is generally forbidden, I believe, because warning adds its own
newline.
This patch removes all of the trailing newlines I was able to find. I
searched for 'warning (.*\\n"' and then fixed the ones where the
newline appeared at the end of the string (some had internal
newlines).

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

This introduces a new class that wraps PyErr_Fetch and PyErr_Restore,
and then changes all the callers in gdb to use it. This reduces the
amount of explicit reference counting that is done in the Python code.
I also found and fixed a latent bug in gdbpy_print_stack -- it was not
correctly checking some error conditions, nor clearing the exception
when needed.

This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
A few places in the Python code would either call gdbpy_print_stack,
or throw a gdb "quit", depending on the pending exception. This patch
consolidates these into a helper function.

Since commit
56bcdbea2b ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
command repetition after using the `gdb.execute` Python function
fails (the previous command is not repeated anymore). This happens
because read_command_lines_1 sets dont_repeat, but the call to
prevent_dont_repeat in execute_gdb_command is later.
The fix is to move the call to prevent_dont_repeat to the beginning of
the function.
Tested on my laptop (ArchLinux-x86_64).

PR python/14062 points out that errors coming from the gdb.post_event
callback are not reported. This can make it hard to understand why
your Python code in gdb isn't working.
Because users have control over whether exceptions are printed at all,
it seems good to simply have post_event report errors in the usual
way.

Since commit
56bcdbea2b ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
trying to use a command like gdb.execute("show commands") in Python
fails. GDB ends up trying to run the "commands" command.
The reason is that GDB gets confused with the special "commands"
command. In process_next_line, the lookup_cmd_1 function returns the
cmd_list_element representing the "commands" sub-command of "show".
Lower, we check the cmd_list_element to see if it matches various
control commands by name, including the "commands" command. This is
where we wrongfully conclude that the executed command must be
"commands", when in reality it was "show commands".
The fix proposed in this patch removes the comparisons by name, instead
comparing the cmd_list_element object by pointer with the objects
created at initialization time.
Tested on the buildbot, though on a single builder (Fedora-x86_64-m64).

execute_gdb_command was calling bpstat_do_actions outside of a

The function interp_ui_out simply calls the interp_ui_out method.
However, if it is passed a NULL interpreter, it first finds the

require callers to be more explicit.

Currently command lines are reference counted using shared_ptr only
when attached to breakpoints. This patch changes gdb to use
shared_ptr in commands as well. This allows for the removal of
copy_command_lines.
Note that the change to execute_user_command explicitly makes a new
reference to the command line. This will be used in a later patch.
This simplifies struct command_line based on the observation that a
given command can have at most two child bodies: an "if" can have both
"then" and "else" parts. Perhaps the names I've chosen for the
replacements here are not very good -- your input requested.

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.

Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)
To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit). For example:
(gdb) b B::function
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
vs:
(gdb) b -qualified B::function
B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const
I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".
Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations. I.e., these are equivalent:
(gdb) b -q func
(gdb) b -q -f func
and so are these:
(gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
(gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q
To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.
(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)
Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:
- makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
last-component name only).
- adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.
- adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
they mean it.
- adds new testsuite tests.
- adds unit tests.
Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this:
-# of expected passes 7823
+# of expected passes 8977

While playing with valgrind, I noticed that with Python 3, the progname
variable in do_start_initialization is not being freed (concat returns a
malloc'ed string). This patch uses unique_xmalloc_ptr to manage it.
With Python 2, we pass progname it directly to Py_SetProgramName, so it
should not be freed. We therefore release it before passing it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Change progname
type to gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr. Release the pointer when using
Python 2.
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".

This adds a few new events to gdb's Python layer: new_inferior,
inferior_deleted, and new_thread. I wanted to be able to add a
combined inferior/thread display window to my GUI, and I needed a few
events to make this work. This is PR python/15622.
