This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
I noticed that testing aarch64-elf gdb with a physical board
ran into issues with gdb.python/py-value.exp. Further investigation showed
that we were actually trying to dereference a NULL pointer (argv) when trying
to access argv[0].
Being bare-metal, argv is not guaranteed to be valid. So we need to make sure
argv is sane before accessing argv[0].
The following patch fixes up the test program to check for a NULL argv and also
improves the testcase a bit so it doesn't have to work with a hardcoded argc
value.
Regression-tested on x86-64 Ubuntu 16.04.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-10-12 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.python/py-value.c (main): Check if argv is NULL before using it.
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_in_inferior): Don't use hardcoded
argc values.
Add 1 to argc so we guarantee distinct initial/modified argc values.
gdb.Value.dynamic_type is supposed to work for reference and pointer
values. However, the value object in the function 'valpy_get_dynamic_type'
was being dereferenced using 'value_ind' irrespective of the value type
being TYPE_CODE_PTR or TYPE_CODE_REF. This patch fixes that to use
'coerce_ref' for TYPE_CODE_REF values.
ChangeLog:
* python/py-value.c (valpy_get_dynamic_type): Use coerce_ref to
dereference TYPE_CODE_REF values.
testsuite/
* gdb.python/py-value.c: Improve test case.
* gdb.python/py-value.exp: Add new test.
* c-lang.c (c_get_string): Ignore the declared size of the object
if a specific length is requested.
testsuite/
* gdb.python/py-value.c: #include stdlib.h, string.h.
(str): New struct.
(main): New local xstr.
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_in_inferior): Add test to
fetch a value as a string with a length beyond the declared length
of the array.
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
* python/py-value.c (valpy_call): New Function.
2010-07-27 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com>
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_inferior_function_call): New function.
* gdb.python/py-value.c (func1): New function.
(func2): Likewise.
2010-07-27 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Values From Inferior): Add value inferior function
call description.
PR python/11417
* python/py-lazy-string.c (stpy_convert_to_value): Check for
a NULL address.
(gdbpy_create_lazy_string_object): Allow strings with a NULL
address and a zero length.
2010-04-08 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com>
* gdb.python/py-value: Add null string variable.
(test_lazy_string): Test zero length, NULL address lazy
strings.
* python/py-value.c (valpy_getitem): Test value before allowing
subscript operation.
2009-09-21 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com>
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_subscript_regression): New
function. Test for invalid subscripts.
* gdb.python/py-value.c (main): Add test array, and pointer to it.
(ptr_ref): New function.
