This patch removes the non-IS_PY3K code in infpy_write_memory()
and infpy_search_memory(). In both cases, the remaining code
from these ifdefs is related to use of the PEP 3118 buffer protocol.
(Deleted code is either due to simplification or related to use of the
old buffer protocol.) PEP 3118 is sometimes referred to as the "new"
buffer protocol, though it's not that new anymore.
The link below describes new features in Python 2.6. In particular,
it says that the buffer protocol described by PEP 3118 is in Python
2.6. It also says (at the top of the page) that Python 2.6 was
released on Oct 1, 2008.
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-3118-revised-buffer-protocol
The last security release for the Python 2.6 series was 2.6.9. It was
released on Oct 29, 2013. According to this document...
https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.9/
...support for the 2.6 series has ended:
With the 2.6.9 release, and five years after its first release,
the Python 2.6 series is now officially retired. All official
maintenance for Python 2.6, including security patches, has ended.
For ongoing maintenance releases, please see the Python 2.7
series.
As noted earlier, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, and Python 3.X all have
support for the PEP 3118 buffer protocol. Python releases prior
to 2.6 use an older buffer protocol. Since Python 2.6 has been
retired for a good while now, it seems reasonable to me to remove
code using the older buffer protocol from GDB.
I have also simplified some of the code via use of the Py_buffer
unique_ptr specialization which I introduced in the two argument
gdb.Value constructor patch series. Therefore, there is a dependency
on patch #1 from that series.
I have tested against both Python 2.7.15 and 3.7.2. I see no
regressions among the non-racy tests. I've also verified that
PyBuffer_Release is being called when the affected functions exit
while running the tests in gdb.python/py-inferior.exp by hand. I've
also tried running valgrind on GDB while running this test, but I'm
puzzled by the results that I'm seeing - I'm seeing no additional
leaks when I comment out the Py_buffer_up lines that I introduced.
That said, I'm not seeing any leaks that obviously originate from
either infpy_write_memory() or infpy_search_memory().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_write_memory): Remove non-IS_PY3K
code from these functions. Remove corresponding ifdefs. Use
Py_buffer_up instead of explicit calls to PyBuffer_Release.
Remove gotos and target of gotos.
(infpy_search_memory): Likewise.
Provided a buffer BUFOBJ and a type TYPE, construct a gdb.Value object
with type TYPE, where the value's contents are taken from BUFOBJ.
E.g...
(gdb) python import struct
(gdb) python unsigned_int_type=gdb.lookup_type('unsigned int')
(gdb) python b=struct.pack('=I',0xdeadbeef)
(gdb) python v=gdb.Value(b, unsigned_int_type) ; print("%#x" % v)
0xdeadbeef
This two argument form of the gdb.Value constructor may also be used
to obtain gdb values from selected portions of buffers read with
Inferior.read_memory(). The test case (which is in a separate patch)
demonstrates this use case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-value.c (convert_buffer_and_type_to_value): New
function.
(valpy_new): Parse arguments via gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
Add support for handling an optional second argument. Call
convert_buffer_and_type_to_value as appropriate.
This patch causes PyBuffer_Release() to be called when the associated
buffer goes out of scope. I've been using it as follows:
...
Py_buffer_up buffer_up;
Py_buffer py_buf;
if (PyObject_CheckBuffer (obj)
&& PyObject_GetBuffer (obj, &py_buf, PyBUF_SIMPLE) == 0)
{
/* Got a buffer, py_buf, out of obj. Cause it to released
when it goes out of scope. */
buffer_up.reset (&py_buf);
}
...
This snippet of code was taken directly from an upcoming patch to
python-value.c.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python-internal.h (Py_buffer_deleter): New struct.
(Py_buffer_up): New typedef.
While working on my other scripts to deal with gdb headers, I noticed
that some files were missing include guards. I wrote a script to add
the missing ones, but found that using the obvious names for the
guards ran into clashes -- for example, gdb/nat/linux-nat.h used
"LINUX_NAT_H", but this was also the script's choice for
gdb/linux-nat.h.
So, I changed the script to normalize all include guards in gdb. This
patch is the result.
As usual the script is available here:
https://github.com/tromey/gdb-refactoring-scripts
Tested by rebuilding; I also ran it through "Fedora-x86_64-m64" on the
buildbot.

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
not find a way to write one that was not racy.

PR gdb/28155 notes a crash in "finish" that occurs with a particular

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.

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.

Most callers of inferior_to_inferior_object already use a gdbpy_ref,
so this changes inferior_to_inferior_object to return one. Doing this
revealed that create_thread_object was not correctly handling the case
where inferior_to_inferior_object failed, so this patch fixes this as
well.

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.
This adds some output styling to the CLI.
A style is currently a foreground color, a background color, and an
intensity (dim or bold). (This list could be expanded depending on
terminal capabilities.)
A style can be applied while printing. For ui-out, this is done by
passing the style constant as an argument. For low-level cases,
fprintf_styled and fputs_styled are provided.
Users can control the style via a number of new set/show commands. In
the interest of not typing many nearly-identical documentation
strings, I automated this. On the down side, this is not very
i18n-friendly.
I've chose some default colors to use. I think it would be good to
enable this by default, so that when users start the new gdb, they
will see the new feature.
Stylizing is done if TERM is set and is not "dumb". This could be
improved when the TUI is available by using the curses has_colors
call. That is, the lowest layer could call this without committing to
using curses everywhere; see my other patch for TUI colorizing.
I considered adding a new "set_style" method to ui_file. However,
because the implementation had to interact with the pager code, I
didn't take this approach. But, one idea might be to put the isatty
check there and then have it defer to the lower layers.

A while back I typed "info pretty-printers" with a large number of
printers installed, and I typed "q" to stop the pagination. I noticed
that gdb printed a Python exception in this case.
It seems to me that, instead, quitting pagination (or control-c'ing a
Python command generally) should be handled the same way that gdb
normally handles a quit.
This patch implements this idea by changing gdbpy_handle_exception to
treat PyExc_KeyboardInterrupt specially.

I noticed a few places were converting a gdb exception to a Python

correctly, and in the future may be enhanced in other ways.

With a following patch, find_thread_ptid will first find the inferior
for the passed-in ptid, using find_inferior_pid, and then look for the
thread in that inferior's thread list. If we pass down null_ptid to
find_thread_ptid then that means we'll end up passing 0 to
find_inferior_pid, which hits this assertion:
> struct inferior *
> find_inferior_pid (int pid)
> {
> struct inferior *inf;
>
> /* Looking for inferior pid == 0 is always wrong, and indicative of
> a bug somewhere else. There may be more than one with pid == 0,
> for instance. */
> gdb_assert (pid != 0);
This patch prepares for the change, by avoiding passing down null_ptid
to find_thread_ptid or to functions that naturally use it, such as the
target_pid_to_str call in inferior.c:add_inferior. In that latter
case, the patch changes GDB output,
from:
(gdb) add-inferior
[New inferior 2 (process 0)]
to:
(gdb) add-inferior
[New inferior 2]
which seems like a good change to me. It might not even make sense to
talk about "process" for the current target, for example.
The python_on_normal_stop change ends up avoiding looking up the
same thread twice (inferior_thread also does a look up).

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).

This replaces more pointer+length with gdb::array_view. This time,
around invoke_xmethod, and then propagating the fallout around, which
inevitably leaks to the overload resolution code.
There are several places in the code that want to grab a slice of an
array, by advancing the array pointer, and decreasing the length
pointer. This patch introduces a pair of new
gdb::array_view::slice(...) methods to make that convenient and clear.
Unit test included.

This replaces a few uses of pointer+length with gdb::array_view, in

Unfortunately, due to -Wnarrowing, there are places where we can't
brace-initialize an gdb::array_view without an ugly-ish cast. To
avoid the cast, this patch introduces a gdb::make_array_view function.
Unit tests included.
This patch in isolation may not look so interesting, due to
gdb::make_array_view uses, but I think it's still worth it. Some of
the gdb::make_array_view calls disappear down the series, and others
could be eliminated with more (non-trivial) gdb::array_view
detangling/conversion (e.g. code around eval_call). See this as a "we
have to start somewhere" patch.

I've written a couple of gdb unwinders in Python, and while doing so,
I wanted to find the architecture of the inferior. (In an unwinder in
particular, one can't use the frame's architecture, because there is

I would have chosen an attribute and not a method here, but seeing

not print the Python stack -- instead the exception is treated as any
other gdb exception.
PR python/18852 asks that this treatment be extended the the
get_set_value method of gdb.Parameter. This makes sense, because it
lets Python-created parameters act like gdb parameters.

I noticed two nearly identical copies of the same code for handling
gdb.GdbError. The only differences were in some error messages.
These differences didn't seem very important, so this patch pulls the
code out into a new function.

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.

PR python/18170 questions why it's not possible to convert a pointer
value to a Python int.
Digging a bit shows that the Python 2.7 int() constructor will happily
return a long in some cases. And, it seems gdb already understands
this in other places -- this is what gdb_py_object_from_longest
handles.
So, this patch simply extends valpy_int to allow pointer conversions,
as valpy_long does.

PR python/20126 points out that sometimes the conversion of a
gdb.Value can result in a negative Python integer. This happens
because valpy_int does not examine the signedness of the value's type.
