In gdb/python/py-tui.c we have code like this:
...
gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get(), "hscroll",
"i", num_to_scroll, nullptr));
...
The nullptr is superfluous, the format string already indicates that there's
only one method argument.
OTOH, passing no method args does use a nullptr:
...
gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get (), "render",
nullptr));
...
Furthermore, choosing the right format string chars can be tricky.
Add a typesafe wrapper around PyObject_CallMethod that hides these

gdbpy_ref<> result (gdbpy_call_method (m_window.get(), "hscroll",

Currently, when creating a gdb.FinishBreakpoint in a function
called from an inline frame, it will never be hit:
```
(gdb) py fb=gdb.FinishBreakpoint()
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x13f1917b4: file C:/src/repos/binutils-gdb.git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.c, line 47.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Thread-specific breakpoint 1 deleted - thread 1 no longer in the thread list.
[Inferior 1 (process 1208) exited normally]
```
The reason is that the frame_id of a breakpoint has to be the
ID of a real frame, ignoring any inline frames.
With this fixed, it's working correctly:
```
(gdb) py fb=gdb.FinishBreakpoint()
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x13f5617b4: file C:/src/repos/binutils-gdb.git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.c, line 47.

This function is just a wrapper around the current inferior's gdbarch.
I find that having that wrapper just obscures where the arch is coming
from, and that it's often used as "I don't know which arch to use so
I'll use this magical target_gdbarch function that gets me an arch" when
the arch should in fact come from something in the context (a thread,
objfile, symbol, etc). I think that removing it and inlining
`current_inferior ()->arch ()` everywhere will make it a bit clearer
where that arch comes from and will trigger people into reflecting
whether this is the right place to get the arch or not.

This commit extends the breakpoint mechanism to allow for inferior
specific breakpoints (but not watchpoints in this commit).
As GDB gains better support for multiple connections, and so for
running multiple (possibly unrelated) inferiors, then it is not hard
to imagine that a user might wish to create breakpoints that apply to
any thread in a single inferior. To achieve this currently, the user
would need to create a condition possibly making use of the $_inferior
convenience variable, which, though functional, isn't the most user
friendly.
This commit adds a new 'inferior' keyword that allows for the creation
of inferior specific breakpoints.
Inferior specific breakpoints are automatically deleted when the
associated inferior is removed from GDB, this is similar to how
thread-specific breakpoints are deleted when the associated thread is
deleted.
Watchpoints are already per-program-space, which in most cases mean
watchpoints are already inferior specific. There is a small window
where inferior-specific watchpoints might make sense, which is after a
vfork, when two processes are sharing the same address space.
However, I'm leaving that as an exercise for another day. For now,
attempting to use the inferior keyword with a watchpoint will give an
error, like this:
(gdb) watch a8 inferior 1
Cannot use 'inferior' keyword with watchpoints
A final note on the implementation: currently, inferior specific
breakpoints, like thread-specific breakpoints, are inserted into every
inferior, GDB then checks once the inferior stops if we are in the
correct thread or inferior, and resumes automatically if we stopped in
the wrong thread/inferior.
An obvious optimisation here is to only insert breakpoint locations
into the specific program space (which mostly means inferior) that
contains either the inferior or thread we are interested in. This
would reduce the number times GDB has to stop and then resume again in
a multi-inferior setup.
I have a series on the mailing list[1] that implements this
optimisation for thread-specific breakpoints. Once this series has
landed I'll update that series to also handle inferior specific
breakpoints in the same way. For now, inferior specific breakpoints
are just slightly less optimal, but this is no different to
thread-specific breakpoints in a multi-inferior debug session, so I
don't see this as a huge problem.

Currently, when we add a new python sub-system to GDB,
e.g. py-inferior.c, we end up having to create a new function like
gdbpy_initialize_inferior, which then has to be called from the
function do_start_initialization in python.c.
In some cases (py-micmd.c and py-tui.c), we have two functions
gdbpy_initialize_*, and gdbpy_finalize_*, with the second being called
from finalize_python which is also in python.c.
This commit proposes a mechanism to manage these initialization and
finalization calls, this means that adding a new Python subsystem will
no longer require changes to python.c or python-internal.h, instead,
the initialization and finalization functions will be registered
directly from the sub-system file, e.g. py-inferior.c, or py-micmd.c.
The initialization and finalization functions are managed through a
new class gdbpy_initialize_file in python-internal.h. This class
contains a single global vector of all the initialization and
finalization functions.
In each Python sub-system we create a new gdbpy_initialize_file
object, the object constructor takes care of registering the two
callback functions.
Now from python.c we can call static functions on the
gdbpy_initialize_file class which take care of walking the callback
list and invoking each callback in turn.
To slightly simplify the Python sub-system files I added a new macro
GDBPY_INITIALIZE_FILE, which hides the need to create an object. We
can now just do this:
GDBPY_INITIALIZE_FILE (gdbpy_initialize_registers);
One possible problem with this change is that there is now no
guaranteed ordering of how the various sub-systems are initialized (or
finalized). To try and avoid dependencies creeping in I have added a
use of the environment variable GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS, this is
the same environment variable used in the generated init.c file.
Just like with init.c, when this environment variable is set we
reverse the list of Python initialization (and finalization)
functions. As there is already a test that starts GDB with the
environment variable set then this should offer some level of
protection against dependencies creeping in - though for full
protection I guess we'd need to run all gdb.python/*.exp tests with
the variable set.
I have tested this patch with the environment variable set, and saw no
regressions, so I think we are fine right now.
One other change of note was for gdbpy_initialize_gdb_readline, this
function previously returned void. In order to make this function
have the correct signature I've updated its return type to int, and we
now return 0 to indicate success.
All of the other initialize (and finalize) functions have been made
static within their respective sub-system files.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Background
----------
When a thread-specific breakpoint is deleted as a result of the
specific thread exiting the function remove_threaded_breakpoints is
called which sets the disposition of the breakpoint to
disp_del_at_next_stop and sets the breakpoint number to 0. Setting
the breakpoint number to zero has the effect of hiding the breakpoint
from the user. We also print a message indicating that the breakpoint
has been deleted.
It was brought to my attention during a review of another patch[1]
that setting a breakpoints number to zero will suppress the MI
breakpoint-deleted notification for that breakpoint, and indeed, this
can be seen to be true, in delete_breakpoint, if the breakpoint number
is zero, then GDB will not notify the breakpoint_deleted observer.
It seems wrong that a user created, thread-specific breakpoint, will
have a =breakpoint-created notification, but will not have a
=breakpoint-deleted notification. I suspect that this is a bug.
[1] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-February/196560.html
The First Problem
-----------------
During my initial testing I wanted to see how GDB handled the
breakpoint after it's number was set to zero. To do this I created
the testcase gdb.threads/thread-bp-deleted.exp. This test creates a
worker thread, which immediately exits. After the worker thread has
exited the main thread spins in a loop.
In GDB I break once the worker thread has been created and place a
thread-specific breakpoint, then use 'continue&' to resume the
inferior in non-stop mode. The worker thread then exits, but the main
thread never stops - instead it sits in the spin. I then tried to use
'maint info breakpoints' to see what GDB thought of the
thread-specific breakpoint.
Unfortunately, GDB crashed like this:
(gdb) continue&
Continuing.
(gdb) [Thread 0x7ffff7c5d700 (LWP 1202458) exited]
Thread-specific breakpoint 3 deleted - thread 2 no longer in the thread list.

... etc ...
As the thread-specific breakpoint is set to disp_del_at_next_stop, and
GDB hasn't stopped yet, then the breakpoint still exists in the global
breakpoint list.
The breakpoint will not show in 'info breakpoints' as its number is
zero, but it will show in 'maint info breakpoints'.
As GDB prints the breakpoint, the thread-id for the breakpoint is
printed as part of the 'stop only in thread ...' line. Printing the
thread-id involves calling find_thread_global_id to convert the global
thread-id into a thread_info*. Then calling print_thread_id to
convert the thread_info* into a string.
The problem is that find_thread_global_id returns nullptr as the
thread for the thread-specific breakpoint has exited. The
print_thread_id assumes it will be passed a non-nullptr. As a result
GDB crashes.
In this commit I've added an assert to print_thread_id (gdb/thread.c)
to check that the pointed passed in is not nullptr. This assert would
have triggered in the above case before GDB crashed.
MI Notifications: The Dangers Of Changing A Breakpoint's Number
---------------------------------------------------------------
Currently the delete_breakpoint function doesn't trigger the
breakpoint_deleted observer for any breakpoint with the number zero.
There is a comment explaining why this is the case in the code; it's
something about watchpoints. But I did consider just removing the 'is
the number zero' guard and always triggering the breakpoint_deleted
observer, figuring that I'd then fix the watchpoint issue some other
way.
But I realised this wasn't going to be good enough. When the MI
notification was delivered the number would be zero, so any frontend
parsing the notifications would not be able to match
=breakpoint-deleted notification to the earlier =breakpoint-created
notification.
What this means is that, at the point the breakpoint_deleted observer
is called, the breakpoint's number must be correct.
MI Notifications: The Dangers Of Delaying Deletion
--------------------------------------------------
The test I used to expose the above crash also brought another problem
to my attention. In the above test we used 'continue&' to resume,
after which a thread exited, but the inferior didn't stop. Recreating
the same test in the MI looks like this:
-break-insert -p 2 main
^done,bkpt={number="2",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",...<snip>...}
(gdb)
-exec-continue
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb)
~"[Thread 0x7ffff7c5d700 (LWP 987038) exited]\n"
=thread-exited,id="2",group-id="i1"
~"Thread-specific breakpoint 2 deleted - thread 2 no longer in the thread list.\n"
At this point the we have a single thread left, which is still
running:
-thread-info
^done,threads=[{id="1",target-id="Thread 0x7ffff7c5eb80 (LWP 987035)",name="thread-bp-delet",state="running",core="4"}],current-thread-id="1"
(gdb)
Notice that we got the =thread-exited notification from GDB as soon as
the thread exited. We also saw the CLI line from GDB, the line
explaining that breakpoint 2 was deleted. But, as expected, we didn't
see the =breakpoint-deleted notification.
I say "as expected" because the number was set to zero. But, even if
the number was not set to zero we still wouldn't see the
notification. The MI notification is driven by the breakpoint_deleted
observer, which is only called when we actually delete the breakpoint,
which is only done the next time GDB stops.
Now, maybe this is fine. The notification is delivered a little
late. But remember, by setting the number to zero the breakpoint will
be hidden from the user, for example, the breakpoint is removed from
the MI's -break-info command output.
This means that GDB is in a position where the breakpoint doesn't show
up in the breakpoint table, but a =breakpoint-deleted notification has
not yet been sent out. This doesn't seem right to me.
What this means is that, when the thread exits, we should immediately
be sending out the =breakpoint-deleted notification. We should not
wait for GDB to next stop before sending the notification.
The Solution
------------
My proposed solution is this; in remove_threaded_breakpoints, instead
of setting the disposition to disp_del_at_next_stop and setting the
number to zero, we now just call delete_breakpoint directly.
The notification will now be sent out immediately; as soon as the
thread exits.
As the number has not changed when delete_breakpoint is called, the
notification will have the correct number.
And as the breakpoint is immediately removed from the breakpoint list,
we no longer need to worry about 'maint info breakpoints' trying to
print the thread-id for an exited thread.
My only concern is that calling delete_breakpoint directly seems so
obvious that I wonder why the original patch (that added
remove_threaded_breakpoints) didn't take this approach. This code was
added in commit 49fa26b041, but the commit message offers no clues
to why this approach was taken, and the original email thread offers
no insights either[2]. There are no test regressions after making
this change, so I'm hopeful that this is going to be fine.
[2] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2013-September/106493.html
The Complication
----------------
Of course, it couldn't be that simple.
The script gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp had some regressions
during testing.
The problem was with the FinishBreakpoint.out_of_scope callback
implementation. This callback is supposed to trigger whenever the
FinishBreakpoint goes out of scope; and this includes when the thread
for the breakpoint exits.
The problem I ran into is the Python FinishBreakpoint implementation.
Specifically, after this change I was loosing some of the out_of_scope
calls.
The problem is that the out_of_scope call (of which I'm interested) is
triggered from the inferior_exit observer. Before my change the
observers were called in this order:
thread_exit
inferior_exit
breakpoint_deleted
The inferior_exit would trigger the out_of_scope call.
After my change the breakpoint_deleted notification (for
thread-specific breakpoints) occurs earlier, as soon as the
thread-exits, so now the order is:
thread_exit
breakpoint_deleted
inferior_exit
Currently, after the breakpoint_deleted call the Python object
associated with the breakpoint is released, so, when we get to the
inferior_exit observer, there's no longer a Python object to call the
out_of_scope method on.
My solution is to follow the model for how bpfinishpy_pre_stop_hook
and bpfinishpy_post_stop_hook are called, this is done from
gdbpy_breakpoint_cond_says_stop in py-breakpoint.c.
I've now added a new bpfinishpy_pre_delete_hook
gdbpy_breakpoint_deleted in py-breakpoint.c, and from this new hook
function I check and where needed call the out_of_scope method.
With this fix in place I now see the
gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp test fully passing again.

See the previous patches in this series for the motivation behind
these changes.
This commit contains updates to Python's QUIT handling. Ideally, we'd
like to throw gdb_exception_forced_quit through the extension
language; I made an attempt to do this for gdb_exception_quit in an
earlier version of this patch, but Pedro pointed out that it is
(almost certainly) not safe to do so.
Still, we definitely don't want to swallow the exception representing
a SIGTERM for GDB, nor do we want to force modules written in the
extension language to have to explicitly handle this case. Since the
idea is for GDB to cleanup and quit for this exception, we'll simply
call quit_force() just as if the gdb_exception_forced_quit propagation
had managed to make it back to the top level.

Hannes filed a bug showing a crash, where a pretty-printer written in
Python could cause a use-after-free. He sent a patch, but I thought a
different approach was needed.
In a much earlier patch (see bug #12533), we changed the Python code
to release new values from the value chain when constructing a
gdb.Value. The rationale for this is that if you write a command that
does a lot of computations in a loop, all the values will be kept live
by the value chain, resulting in gdb using a large amount of memory.
However, suppose a value is passed to Python from some code in gdb
that needs to use the value after the call into Python. In this
scenario, value_to_value_object will still release the value -- and
because gdb code doesn't generally keep strong references to values (a
consequence of the ancient decision to use the value chain to avoid
memory management), this will result in a use-after-free.
This scenario can happen, as it turns out, when a value is passed to
Python for pretty-printing. Now, normally this route boxes the value
via value_to_value_object_no_release, avoiding the problematic release
from the value chain. However, if you then call Value.cast, the
underlying value API might return the same value, when is then
released from the chain.
This patch fixes the problem by changing how value boxing is done.
value_to_value_object no longer removes a value from the chain.
Instead, every spot in gdb that might construct new values uses a
scoped_value_mark to ensure that the requirements of bug #12533 are
met. And, because incoming values aren't ever released from the chain
(the Value.cast one comes earlier on the chain than the
scoped_value_mark), the bug can no longer occur. (Note that many
spots in the Python layer already take this approach, so not many
places needed to be touched.)
In the future I think we should replace the use of raw "value *" with
value_ref_ptr pretty much everywhere. This will ensure lifetime
safety throughout gdb.
The test case in this patch comes from Hannes' original patch. I only
made a trivial ("require") change to it. However, while this fails
for him, I can't make it fail on this machine; nevertheless, he tried
my patch and reported the bug as being fixed.

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.
[ Partial resubmission of an earlier submission by Andrew (
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2012-September/096347.html ), so
listing him as co-author. ]
With x86_64-linux and target board unix/-m32, we have:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
Exception #10^M
^M
Breakpoint 3, throw_exception_1 (e=10) at py-finish-breakpoint2.cc:23^M
23 throw new int (e);^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint2.exp: \
check FinishBreakpoint in catch()
...
The following scenario happens:
- set breakpoint in throw_exception_1, a function that throws an exception
- continue
- hit breakpoint, with call stack main.c:38 -> throw_exception_1
- set a finish breakpoint
- continue
- hit the breakpoint again, with call stack main.c:48 -> throw_exception
-> throw_exception_1
Due to the exception, the function call did not properly terminate, and the
finish breakpoint didn't trigger. This is expected behaviour.
However, the intention is that gdb detects this situation at the next stop
and calls the out_of_scope callback, which would result here in this test-case
in a rather confusing "exception did not finish" message. So the problem is
that this message doesn't show up, in other words, the out_of_scope callback
is not called.
[ Note that the fact that the situation is detected only at the next stop
(wherever that happens to be) could be improved upon, and the earlier
submission did that by setting a longjmp breakpoint. But I'm considering this
problem out-of-scope for this patch. ]
Note that the message does show up later, at thread exit:
...
[Inferior 1 (process 20046) exited with code 0236]^M
exception did not finish ...^M
...
The decision on whether to call the out_of_scope call back is taken in
bpfinishpy_detect_out_scope_cb, and the interesting bit is here:
...
if (b->pspace == current_inferior ()->pspace
&& (!target_has_registers ()
|| frame_find_by_id (b->frame_id) == NULL))
bpfinishpy_out_of_scope (finish_bp);
...
In the case of the thread exit, the callback triggers because
target_has_registers () == 0.
So why doesn't the callback trigger in the case of the breakpoint?
Well, the b->frame_id is the frame_id of the frame of main (the frame
in which the finish breakpoint is supposed to trigger), so AFAIU
frame_find_by_id (b->frame_id) == NULL will only be true once we've
left main, at which point I guess we don't stop till thread exit.
Fix this by saving the frame in which the finish breakpoint was created, and
using frame_find_by_id () == NULL on that frame instead, such that we have:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
Exception #10^M
^M
Breakpoint 3, throw_exception_1 (e=10) at py-finish-breakpoint2.cc:23^M
23 throw new int (e);^M
exception did not finish ...^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint2.exp: \
check FinishBreakpoint in catch()
...
Still, the test-case is failing because it's setup to match the behaviour that
we get on x86_64-linux with target board unix/-m64:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
Exception #10^M
stopped at ExceptionFinishBreakpoint^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint2.exp: \
check FinishBreakpoint in catch()
...
So what happens here? Again, due to the exception, the function call did not
properly terminate, but the finish breakpoint still triggers. This is somewhat
unexpected. This happens because it just so happens to be that the frame
return address at which the breakpoint is set, is also the first instruction
after the exception has been handled. This is a know problem, filed as
PR29909, so KFAIL it, and modify the test-case to expect the out_of_scope
callback.
Also add a breakpoint after setting the finish breakpoint but before throwing
the exception, to check that we don't call the out_of_scope callback too early.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with target boards unix/-m32.

Currently, FinishBreakpoints are set at the return address of a frame based on

are not being cleaned up after use, as reported in PR python/18655. This was
happening because the disposition of the breakpoint was not being set

This commit fixes this issue by correctly setting the disposition in the

In a later commit in this series I will propose removing all of the
explicit gdbpy_initialize_* calls from python.c and replace these
calls with a more generic mechanism.
One of the side effects of this generic mechanism is that the order in
which the various Python sub-systems within GDB are initialized is no
longer guaranteed.
On the whole I don't think this matters, most of the sub-systems are
independent of each other, though testing did reveal a few places
where we did have dependencies, though I don't think those
dependencies were explicitly documented in comment anywhere.
This commit is similar to the previous one, and fixes the second
dependency issue that I found.
In this case the finish_breakpoint_object_type uses the
breakpoint_object_type as its tp_base, this means that
breakpoint_object_type must have been initialized with a call to
PyType_Ready before finish_breakpoint_object_type can be initialized.
Previously we depended on the ordering of calls to
gdbpy_initialize_breakpoints and gdbpy_initialize_finishbreakpoints in
python.c.
After this commit a new function gdbpy_breakpoint_init_breakpoint_type
exists, this function ensures that breakpoint_object_type has been
initialized, and can be called from any gdbpy_initialize_* function.
I feel that this change makes the dependency explicit, which I think
is a good thing.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
PR python/16324 points out that comparing a frame id to null_frame_id
can never succeed, and proposes simply removing the dead code. That
is what this patch does.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16324
This changes GDB to use frame_info_ptr instead of frame_info *
The substitution was done with multiple sequential `sed` commands:
sed 's/^struct frame_info;/class frame_info_ptr;/'
sed 's/struct frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g' - which left some
issues in a few files, that were manually fixed.
sed 's/\<frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g'
sed 's/frame_info_ptr $/frame_info_ptr/g' - used to remove whitespace
problems.
The changed files were then manually checked and some 'sed' changes
undone, some constructors and some gets were added, according to what
made sense, and what Tromey originally did

This replaces frame_id_eq with operator== and operator!=. I wrote
this for a version of this series that I later abandoned; but since it
simplifies the code, I left this patch in.

Currently, GDB internally uses the term "location" for both the
location specification the user input (linespec, explicit location, or
an address location), and for actual resolved locations, like the
breakpoint locations, or the result of decoding a location spec to
SaLs. This is expecially confusing in the breakpoints module, as
struct breakpoint has these two fields:
breakpoint::location;
breakpoint::loc;
"location" is the location spec, and "loc" is the resolved locations.
And then, we have a method called "locations()", which returns the
resolved locations as range...
The location spec type is presently called event_location:
/* Location we used to set the breakpoint. */
event_location_up location;
and it is described like this:
/* The base class for all an event locations used to set a stop event
in the inferior. */
struct event_location
{
and even that is incorrect... Location specs are used for finding
actual locations in the program in scenarios that have nothing to do
with stop events. E.g., "list" works with location specs.
To clean all this confusion up, this patch renames "event_location" to
"location_spec" throughout, and then all the variables that hold a
location spec, they are renamed to include "spec" in their name, like
e.g., "location" -> "locspec". Similarly, functions that work with
location specs, and currently have just "location" in their name are
renamed to include "spec" in their name too.

Even after the previous patches reworking the inheritance of several
breakpoint types, the present breakpoint hierarchy looks a bit
surprising, as we have "breakpoint" as the superclass, and then
"base_breakpoint" inherits from "breakpoint". Like so, simplified:
breakpoint
base_breakpoint
ordinary_breakpoint
internal_breakpoint
momentary_breakpoint
ada_catchpoint
exception_catchpoint
tracepoint
watchpoint
catchpoint
exec_catchpoint
...
The surprising part to me is having "base_breakpoint" being a subclass
of "breakpoint". I'm just refering to naming here -- I mean, you'd
expect that it would be the top level baseclass that would be called
"base".
Just flipping the names of breakpoint and base_breakpoint around
wouldn't be super great for us, IMO, given we think of every type of
*point as a breakpoint at the user visible level. E.g., "info
breakpoints" shows watchpoints, tracepoints, etc. So it makes to call
the top level class breakpoint.
Instead, I propose renaming base_breakpoint to code_breakpoint. The
previous patches made sure that all code breakpoints inherit from
base_breakpoint, so it's fitting. Also, "code breakpoint" contrasts
nicely with a watchpoint also being typically known as a "data
breakpoint".
After this commit, the resulting hierarchy looks like:
breakpoint
code_breakpoint
ordinary_breakpoint
internal_breakpoint
momentary_breakpoint
ada_catchpoint
exception_catchpoint
tracepoint
watchpoint
catchpoint
exec_catchpoint
...
... which makes a lot more sense to me.
I've left this patch as last in the series in case people want to
bikeshed on the naming.
"code" has a nice property that it's exactly as many letters as
"base", so this patch didn't require any reindentation. :-)

This converts "ordinary" breakpoint to use vtable_breakpoint_ops.
Recall that an ordinary breakpoint is both the kind normally created
by users, and also a base class used by other classes.
Add an argument to the get_return_value function to indicate the symbol
of the function the debuggee is returning from. This will be used by
the following patch.
Since the function return type can be deduced from the symbol remove the
value_type argument which becomes redundant.
No user visible change after this patch.

Currently, gdb's Python layer captures the current architecture and
language when "entering" Python code. This has some undesirable
effects, and so this series changes how this is handled.
First, there is code like this:
gdbpy_enter enter_py (python_gdbarch, python_language);
This is incorrect, because both of these are NULL when not otherwise
assigned. This can cause crashes in some cases -- I've added one to
the test suite. (Note that this crasher is just an example, other
ones along the same lines are possible.)
Second, when the language is captured in this way, it means that
Python code cannot affect the current language for its own purposes.
It's reasonable to want to write code like this:
gdb.execute('set language mumble')
... stuff using the current language
gdb.execute('set language previous-value')
However, this won't actually work, because the language is captured on
entry. I've added a test to show this as well.
This patch changes gdb to try to avoid capturing the current values.
The Python concept of the current gdbarch is only set in those few
cases where a non-default value is computed or needed; and the
language is not captured at all -- instead, in the cases where it's
required, the current language is temporarily changed.
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
I don't find that the bpstat typedef, which hides a pointer, is
particularly useful. In fact, it confused me many times, and I just see
it as something to remember that adds cognitive load. Also, with C++,
we might want to be able to pass bpstats objects by const-reference, not
necessarily by pointer.
So, remove the bpstat typedef and rename struct bpstats to bpstat (since
it represents one bpstat, it makes sense that it is singular).

Now that we have range functions that let us use ranged for loops, we
can remove iterate_over_breakpoints in favor of those, which are easier
to read and write. This requires exposing the declaration of
all_breakpoints and all_breakpoints_safe in breakpoint.h, as well as the
supporting types.
Change some users of iterate_over_breakpoints to use all_breakpoints,
when they don't need to delete the breakpoint, and all_breakpoints_safe
otherwise.

The 'create_breakpoint' function takes a 'parse_extra' argument that
determines whether the condition, thread, and force-condition
specifiers should be parsed from the extra string or be used from the
function arguments. However, for the case when 'parse_extra' is
false, there is no way to pass the force-condition specifier. This
patch adds it as a new argument.
Also, in the case when parse_extra is false, the current behavior is
as if the condition is being forced. This is a bug. The default
behavior should reject the breakpoint. See below for a demo of this
incorrect behavior. (The MI command '-break-insert' uses the
'create_breakpoint' function with parse_extra=0.)

Most of the leaks in python tests are due to the fact that many
PyObject xxxxx_dealloc functions are missing the line to free self
or obj such as:
Py_TYPE (self)->tp_free (self);
or

PR gdb/28155 notes a crash in "finish" that occurs with a particular
source file compiled by clang.
The bug is the typical gdb problem of a missing call to check_typedef.
clang emits a function whose return type is a typedef to void.
get_return_value asserts that the return type is not void, but the
callers were not using check_typedef first.

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This is more preparation bits for multi-target support.
In a multi-target scenario, we need to address the case of different
processes/threads running on different targets that happen to have the
same PID/PTID. E.g., we can have both process 123 in target 1, and
process 123 in target 2, while they're in reality different processes
running on different machines. Or maybe we've loaded multiple
instances of the same core file. Etc.
To address this, in my WIP multi-target branch, threads and processes
are uniquely identified by the (process_stratum target_ops *, ptid_t)
and (process_stratum target_ops *, pid) tuples respectively. I.e.,
each process_stratum instance has its own thread/process number space.
As you can imagine, that requires passing around target_ops * pointers
in a number of functions where we're currently passing only a ptid_t
or an int. E.g., when we look up a thread_info object by ptid_t in
find_thread_ptid, the ptid_t alone isn't sufficient.
In many cases though, we already have the thread_info or inferior
pointer handy, but we "lose" it somewhere along the call stack, only
to look it up again by ptid_t/pid. Since thread_info or inferior
objects know their parent target, if we pass around thread_info or
inferior pointers when possible, we avoid having to add extra
target_ops parameters to many functions, and also, we eliminate a
number of by ptid_t/int lookups.
So that's what this patch does. In a bit more detail:
- Changes a number of functions and methods to take a thread_info or
inferior pointer instead of a ptid_t or int parameter.
- Changes a number of structure fields from ptid_t/int to inferior or
thread_info pointers.
- Uses the inferior_thread() function whenever possible instead of
inferior_ptid.
- Uses thread_info pointers directly when possible instead of the
is_running/is_stopped etc. routines that require a lookup.
- A number of functions are eliminated along the way, such as:
int valid_gdb_inferior_id (int num);
int pid_to_gdb_inferior_id (int pid);
int gdb_inferior_id_to_pid (int num);
int in_inferior_list (int pid);
- A few structures and places hold a thread_info pointer across
inferior execution, so now they take a strong reference to the
(refcounted) thread_info object to avoid the thread_info pointer
getting stale. This is done in enable_thread_stack_temporaries and
in the infcall.c code.
- Related, there's a spot in infcall.c where using a RAII object to
handle the refcount would be handy, so a gdb::ref_ptr specialization
for thread_info is added (thread_info_ref, in gdbthread.h), along
with a gdb_ref_ptr policy that works for all refcounted_object types
(in common/refcounted-object.h).

This converts observers from using a special source-generating script
to be plain C++. This version of the patch takes advantage of C++11
by using std::function and variadic templates; incorporates Pedro's
patches; and renames the header file to "observable.h" (this change
eliminates the need for a clean rebuild).
Note that Pedro's patches used a template lambda in tui-hooks.c, but
this failed to compile on some buildbot instances (presumably due to
differing C++ versions); I replaced this with an ordinary template
function.
Regression tested on the buildbot.
