This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
(anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(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()
(gdb) b B::function
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,

This replaces "struct symtabs_and_lines" with
std::vector<symtab_and_line> in most cases. This removes a number of
cleanups.
In some cases, the sals objects do not own the sals they point at.
Instead they point at some sal that lives on the stack. Typically
something like this:
struct symtab_and_line sal;
struct symtabs_and_lines sals;
// fill in sal
sals.nelts = 1;
sals.sals = &sal;
// use sals
Instead of switching those cases to std::vector too, such usages are
replaced by gdb::array_view<symtab_and_line> instead. This avoids
introducing heap allocations.

Command lines are funny in that sometimes they are reference counted.

these can be changed to use shared_ptr instead.

GDB fails to build for Windows host with Python 2 support enabled due
to PyFile_FromString's second argument being of type char * and being
passed a (const) string literal. This parameter is input only so this
commit fixes the issue by casting to char *.
2017-04-06 Thomas Preud'homme <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com>
gdb/
* python/python.c (python_run_simple_file): Cast mode literal to
non-const char pointer as expected by PyFile_FromString.
-Wwrite-strings flags code like:
static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []".
We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this:
- static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
+ static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer
works OOTB, because PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords expects a "char **":
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw,
const char *format,
char *keywords[], ...);
and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **". C++
is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **>
is fine. However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves,
this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here
with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a
single place.

The patch "Fix memory leak in python.c:do_start_initialization"
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00407.html) introduced a
compilation error on some platforms:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python.c: In function bool do_start_initialization():
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python.c:1556:16: error: invalid conversion from const void* to void* [-fpermissive]
xfree (libdir);
^
This is fixed by removing the constness of libdir's data type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Remove 'const' from
data type of libdir.
When intializing Python the path to the python binary is build the
following way
progname = concat (ldirname (python_libdir), SLASH_STRING, "bin",
SLASH_STRING, "python", (char *) NULL);
This is problematic as both concat and ldirname allocate memory for the
string they return. Thus the memory allocated by ldirname cannot be
accessed afterwards causing a memory leak. Fix it by temporarily storing
libdir in a variable and xfree it after concat.
gdb/ChangeLog:
python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Fix memory leak.
This adds an event that is emitted just before GDB presents a prompt
to the user. This provides Python code a way to react to whatever
changes might have been made by the previous command. For example, in
my GUI I use this to track changes to the selected frame and reflect
them in the UI.

This patch adds three new functions to the gdb module in Python:
- start_recording
- stop_recording
- current_recording
start_recording and current_recording return an object of the new type
gdb.Record, which can be used to access the recorded data.

This turns gdbpy_ref into a template class, so that it can be used to
wrap subclasses of PyObject. The default argument remains PyObject;
and this necessitated renaming uses of "gdbpy_ref" to "gdbpy_ref<>".

This replaces a cleanup in execute_gdb_command with an instance of
std::string.
Testing showed that this originally missed a cleanup that was returned
by prevent_dont_repeat. This version of the patch changes
prevent_dont_repeat to return a scoped_restore rather than a cleanup.

This changes more places in python.c to use gdbpy_ref.
Additionally, previously gdbpy_apply_type_printers would return
EXT_LANG_RC_ERROR if a type printer returned None. However, that
doesn't seem correct to me; this patch changes it to return
EXT_LANG_RC_NOP in this case.

the error path previously ran the cleanups and then referred to one of
the objects just freed.

This changes the last functions in python.c to use gdbpy_enter. I

some "goto"s.

This changes python_interactive_command to use gdbpy_enter.
Previously this function was leaving a dangling cleanup -- this is
sort of ok in a command function, but IMO it's still better to clean
up.
2017-01-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/python.c (python_interactive_command): Use gdbpy_enter.
Change gdbpy_before_prompt_hook to use gdbpy_enter and gdbpy_ref.

This introduces gdbpy_enter, a class that can be used to acquire and
release the Python GIL, and also set other Python-related globals used
by gdb. ensure_python_env is rewritten in terms of this new class.

This removes make_cleanup_restore_current_uiout in favor of an
RAII-based class.

* ui-out.h (make_cleanup_restore_current_uiout): Don't declare.
This patch replaces many (but not all) uses of
make_cleanup_restore_integer with a simple RAII-based template class.
It also removes the similar restore_execution_direction cleanup in
favor of this new class. Subsequent patches will replace other
similar cleanups with this class.
The class is typically instantiated using make_scoped_restore. This
allows for template argument deduction.

The gdb.decode_line python function is documented to support the same location
expressions as the "break" command. It currently expects a linespec location.
Instead of creating a linespec location directly, create the location via

PR python/19293 notes that when a Python unwinder is disabled, the
frame cache is not invalidated. This means that disabling an unwinder
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.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23.

If every UI instance has its own set of interpreters, then the current
scheme of creating the interpreters at GDB initialization time no
longer works. We need to create them whenever a new UI instance is
created.
The scheme implemented here has each interpreter register a factory
callback that when called creates a new instance of a specific
interpreter type. Then, when some code in gdb looks up an interpreter
(always by name), if there's none yet, the factory method is called to
construct one.
