Change most of regcache (and base classes) to use array_view when
possible, instead of raw pointers. By propagating the use of array_view
further, it enables having some runtime checks to make sure the what we
read from or write to regcaches has the expected length (such as the one
in the `copy(array_view, array_view)` function. It also integrates well
when connecting with other APIs already using gdb::array_view.
Add some overloads of the methods using raw pointers to avoid having to
change all call sites at once (which is both a lot of work and risky).
I tried to do this change in small increments, but since many of these
functions use each other, it ended up simpler to do it in one shot than
having a lot of intermediary / transient changes.
This change extends into gdbserver as well, because there is some part
of the regcache interface that is shared.
Changing the reg_buffer_common interface to use array_view caused some
build failures in nat/aarch64-scalable-linux-ptrace.c. That file
currently "takes advantage" of the fact that
reg_buffer_common::{raw_supply,raw_collect} operates on `void *`, which
IMO is dangerous. It uses raw_supply/raw_collect directly on
uint64_t's, which I guess is fine because it is expected that native
code will have the same endianness as the debugged process. To
accomodate that, add some overloads of raw_collect and raw_supply that
work on uint64_t.
This file also uses raw_collect and raw_supply on `char` pointers.
Change it to use `gdb_byte` pointers instead. Add overloads of
raw_collect and raw_supply that work on `gdb_byte *` and make an
array_view on the fly using the register's size. Those call sites could
be converted to use array_view with not much work, in which case these
overloads could be removed, but I didn't want to do it in this patch, to
avoid starting to dig in arch-specific code.
During development, I inadvertently changed reg_buffer::raw_compare's
behavior to not accept an offset equal to the register size. This
behavior (effectively comparing 0 bytes, returning true) change was
caught by the AArch64 SME core tests. Add a selftest to make sure that
this raw_compare behavior is preserved in the future.
