of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
Getting the bounds of an array (or string) type is a common operation,
and is currently done through its index type:
my_array_type->index_type ()->bounds ()
I think it would make sense to let the `type::bounds` methods work for
arrays and strings, as a shorthand for this. It's natural that when
asking for the bounds of an array, we get the bounds of the range type
used as its index type. In a way, it's equivalent as the now-removed
TYPE_ARRAY_{LOWER,UPPER}_BOUND_IS_UNDEFINED and
TYPE_ARRAY_{LOWER,UPPER}_BOUND_VALUE, except it returns the
`range_bounds` object. The caller is then responsible for getting the
property it needs in it.
I updated all the spots I could find that could take advantage of this.
Note that this also makes `type::bit_stride` work on array types, since
`type::bit_stride` uses `type::bounds`. `my_array_type->bit_stride ()`
now returns the bit stride of the array's index type. So some spots
are also changed to take advantage of this.

Change-Id: I5c0c08930bffe42fd69cb4bfcece28944dd88d1f
Remove the macros, use the various equivalent getters instead.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_ARRAY_UPPER_BOUND_IS_UNDEFINED,
TYPE_ARRAY_LOWER_BOUND_IS_UNDEFINED): Remove. Update all
callers to use the equivalent accessor methods instead.
Change-Id: Ifb4c36f440b82533bde5d15a5cbb2fc91f467292
Remove the macros, use the getters of `struct dynamic_prop` instead.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_LOW_BOUND, TYPE_HIGH_BOUND): Remove. Update
all callers to use type::range_bounds followed by
dynamic_prop::{low,high}.
Change-Id: I31beeed65d94d81ac4f999244a8b859e2ee961d1
Remove the `TYPE_FIELD_TYPE` macro, changing all the call sites to use
`type::field` and `field::type` directly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_FIELD_TYPE): Remove. Change all call sites
to use type::field and field::type instead.
Change-Id: Ifda6226a25c811cfd334a756a9fbc5c0afdddff3
Remove `TYPE_INDEX_TYPE` macro, changing all the call sites to use
`type::index_type` directly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_INDEX_TYPE): Remove. Change all call sites
to use type::index_type instead.
Change-Id: I56715df0bdec89463cda6bd341dac0e01b2faf84
Replace all uses of it by type::field.
Note that since type::field returns a reference to the field, some spots
are used to assign the whole field structure. See ctfread.c, function
attach_fields_to_type, for example. This is the same as was happening
with the macro, so I don't think it's a problem, but if anybody sees a
really nicer way to do this, now could be a good time to implement it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_FIELD): Remove. Replace all uses with
type::field.
Remove `TYPE_NFIELDS`, changing all the call sites to use
`type::num_fields` directly. This is quite a big diff, but this was
mostly done using sed and coccinelle. A few call sites were done by
hand.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_NFIELDS): Remove. Change all cal sites to use
type::num_fields instead.
Change-Id: Ib73be4c36f9e770e0f729bac3b5257d7cb2f9591
Remove `TYPE_NAME`, changing all the call sites to use `type::name`
directly. This is quite a big diff, but this was mostly done using sed
and coccinelle. A few call sites were done by hand.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_NAME): Remove. Change all cal sites to use
type::name instead.
Remove TYPE_CODE, changing all the call sites to use type::code
directly. This is quite a big diff, but this was mostly done using sed
and coccinelle. A few call sites were done by hand.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_CODE): Remove. Change all call sites to use
type::code instead.
This rewrites gdb's TRY/CATCH to plain C++ try/catch. The patch was
largely written by script, though one change (to a comment in
common-exceptions.h) was reverted by hand.

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.
TYPE_TAG_NAME has been an occasional source of confusion and bugs. It
seems to me that it is only useful for C and C++ -- but even there,
not so much, because at least with DWARF there doesn't seem to be any
way to wind up with a type where the name and the tag name are both
non-NULL and different.
So, this patch removes TYPE_TAG_NAME entirely. This should save a
little memory, but more importantly, it simplifies this part of gdb.
A few minor test suite adjustments were needed. In some situations
the new code does not yield identical output to the old code.

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.
This replaces most of the remaining ui_file_xstrdup calls with
ui_file_as_string calls. Whenever a call was replaced, that led to a
cascade of other necessary adjustments throughout, to make the code
use std::string instead of raw pointers. And then whenever I added a
std::string as member of a struct, I needed to adjust
allocation/destruction of said struct to use new/delete instead of
xmalloc/xfree.
The stopping point was once gdb built again. These doesn't seem to be
a way to reasonably split this out further.
Maybe-not-obvious changes:
- demangle_for_lookup returns a cleanup today. To get rid of that,
and avoid unnecessary string dupping/copying, this introduces a
demangle_result_storage type that the caller instantiates and
passes to demangle_for_lookup.
- Many methods returned a "char *" to indicate that the caller owns
the memory and must free it. Those are switched to return a
std::string instead. Methods that return a "view" into some
internal string return a "const char *" instead. I.e., we only
copy/allocate when necessary.

This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
To make it clear that some functions should not modify the variable
object, this patch adds the const qualifier where it makes sense to some
struct varobj * parameters. Most getters should take a const pointer to
guarantee they don't modify the object.
Unfortunately, I couldn't add it to some callbacks (such as name_of_child).
In the C implementation, they call c_describe_child, which calls
varobj_get_path_expr. varobj_get_path_expr needs to modify the object in
order to cache the computed value. It therefore can't take a const
pointer, and it affects the whole call chain. I suppose that's where you
would use a "mutable" in C++.
I did that to make sure there was no other cases like the one fixed in
the previous patch. I don't think it can hurt.

It seems like different languages are doing this differently (e.g.
C and Ada). For C, var->path_expr is set inside c_path_expr_of_child.
The next time the value is requested, is it therefore not recomputed.
Ada does not set this field, but just returns the value. Since the field
is never set, the value is recomputed every time it is requested.
This patch makes it so that path_expr_of_child's only job is to compute
the path expression, not save/cache the value. The field is set by the
varobj common code.

* varobj.c (varobj_get_path_expr): Set var->path_expr.

child->path_expr.

The MI command -var-info-path-expression currently does not handle
non-anonymous structs / unions nested within other structs / unions,
it will skip parts of the expression. Consider this example:
## START EXAMPLE ##
$ cat ex.c
#include <string.h>
int
main ()
{
struct s1
{
int a;
};
struct ss
{
struct s1 x;
};
struct ss an_ss;
memset (&an_ss, 0, sizeof (an_ss));
return 0;
}
$ gcc -g -o ex.x ex.c
$ gdb ex.x
(gdb) break 18
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/user/ex.x
Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18
18 return 0;
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-create an_ss * an_ss"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss"
^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x"
^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a"
^done,numchild="0",has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a"
^done,path_expr="(an_ss).a"
(gdb) print (an_ss).a
There is no member named a.
## END EXAMPLE ##
Notice that the path expression returned is wrong, and as a result
the print command fails.
This patch adds a new method to the varobj_ops structure called
is_path_expr_parent, to allow language specific control over finding
the parent varobj, the current logic becomes the C/C++ version and is
extended to handle the nested cases. No other language currently uses
this code, so all other languages just get a default method.
With this patch, the above example now finishes like this:
## START EXAMPLE ##
$ gdb ex.x
(gdb) break 18
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/user/ex.x
Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18
18 return 0;
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss"
^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x"
^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a"
^done,numchild="0",has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a"
^done,path_expr="((an_ss).x).a"
(gdb) print ((an_ss).x).a
$1 = 0
## END EXAMPLE ##
Notice that the path expression is now correct, and the print is a
success.
