Checking whether the gcore command is included in the GDB build as
proxy for checking whether core dumping is supported by the target is
useless, as gcore.o has been in COMMON_OBS since git 9b4eba8e:

IOW, the command is always included in the build.
Instead, nowadays, tests bail out if actually trying to generate a
core fails with an indication the target doesn't support it. See
gdb_gcore_cmd and callers.

Consider an array described in the debugging information as being
a typedef of an array type for which there is a DW_AT_data_location
attribute. Trying to print the value of that array currently yields
incorrect element values. For instance:
(gdb) print foo.three_tdef
$1 = (6293760, 0, 6293772)
The problem occurs because we check for the data_location attribute
only on the typedef type, whereas we should be checking for the
typedef's target type. As a result, GDB erroneously thinks that
there is no data_location, and therefore starts reading the array's
content from the address of the descriptor instead of the data_location
address.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* value.c (value_from_contents_and_address): Strip resolved_type's
typedef layers before checking its TYPE_DATA_LOCATION.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

This fixes PR symtab/14604, PR symtab/14605, and Jan's test at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00158.html, in a tree
with bddbbed reverted:
2014-07-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* value.c (allocate_optimized_out_value): Don't mark value as
non-lazy.
The PRs are about variables described by the DWARF as being split over
multiple registers using DWARF piece information, but some of those
registers being marked as optimised out (not saved) by a later frame.
GDB currently incorrectly mishandles these partially-optimized-out
values.
Even though we can usually tell from the debug info whether a local or
global is optimized out, handling the case of a local living in a
register that was not saved in a frame requires fetching the variable.
GDB also needs to fetch a value to tell whether parts of it are
"<unavailable>". Given this, it's not worth it to try to avoid
fetching lazy optimized-out values based on debug info alone.
So this patch makes GDB track which chunks of a value's contents are
optimized out like it tracks <unavailable> contents. That is, it
makes value->optimized_out be a bit range vector instead of a boolean,
and removes the struct lval_funcs check_validity and check_any_valid
hooks.
Unlike Andrew's series which this is based on (at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00300.html, note some
pieces have gone in since), this doesn't merge optimized out and
unavailable contents validity/availability behind a single interface,
nor does it merge the bit range vectors themselves (at least yet).
While it may be desirable to have a single entry point that returns
existence of contents irrespective of what may make them
invalid/unavailable, several places want to treat optimized out /
unavailable / etc. differently, so each spot that potentially could
use it will need to be careful considered on case-by-case basis, and
best done as a separate change.
This fixes Jan's test, because value_available_contents_eq wasn't
considering optimized out value contents. It does now, and because of
that it's been renamed to value_contents_eq.
A new intro comment is added to value.h describing "<optimized out>",
"<not saved>" and "<unavailable>" values.

In gdb.base/watchpoint-hw-hit-once.exp, test scans source and set
breakpoint on the line having "break-at-exit",
gdb_breakpoint [gdb_get_line_number "break-at-exit"]
However, in watchpoint-hw-hit-once.c, there are two lines having
this key word:
dummy = 1; /* Stub to catch break-at-exit after WATCHEE has been hit. */
dummy = 2; /* break-at-exit */
so the test sets breakpoint on the first one, while I think it is
expected to set breakpoint on the second one, as far as I can tell
from the comments in watchpoint-hw-hit-once.c:
/* Stub lines are present as no breakpoints/watchpoint gets hit if current PC
already stays on the line PC while entering "step"/"continue". */
This patch is to change the source matching pattern so that test

Right now, "set debug target" acts a bit strangely.
Most target APIs only notice that it has changed when the target stack
is changed in some way. This is because many methods implement the
setting using the special debug target. However, a few spots do
change their behavior immediately -- any place explicitly checking
"targetdebug".
Some of this peculiar behavior is documented. However, I think that
it just isn't very useful for it to work this way. So, this patch
changes "set debug target" to take effect immediately in all cases.
This is done by simply calling update_current_target when the setting
is changed.
This required one small change in the test suite. Here a test was
expecting the current behavior.

In Ada, variable-sized field can be located at any position of
a structure. Consider for instance the following declarations:
Dyn_Size : Integer := 1;
type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
type Inner is record
T1 : Table (1 .. Dyn_Size) := (others => 1);
T2 : Table (1 .. Dyn_Size) := (others => 2);
end record;
type Inner_Array is array (1 .. 2) of Inner;
type Outer is
record
I0 : Integer := 0;
A1 : Inner_Array;
Marker : Integer := 16#01020304#;
end record;
Rt : Outer;
What this does is declare a variable "Rt" of type Outer, which
contains 3 fields where the second (A1) is of type Inner_Array.
type Inner_Array is an array with 2 elements of type Inner.
Because type Inner contains two arrays whose upper bound depend
on a variable, the size of the array, and therefore the size of
type Inner is dynamic, thus making field A1 a dynamically-size
field.
When trying to print the value of Rt, we hit the following limitation:
(gdb) print rt
Attempt to resolve a variably-sized type which appears in the interior of
a structure type
The limitation was somewhat making sense in C, but needs to be lifted
for Ada. This patch mostly lifts that limitation. As a result of this
patch, the type length computation had to be reworked a little bit.

As reported in PR 17206, an internal error is triggered when command
until is executed. In infcmd.c:until_next_command, step_range_end is
set to 'pc',
if (!func)
{
struct bound_minimal_symbol msymbol = lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc (pc);
if (msymbol.minsym == NULL)
error (_("Execution is not within a known function."));
tp->control.step_range_start = BMSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS (msymbol);
tp->control.step_range_end = pc;
}
and later in infrun.c:resume, the assert below is triggered in PR
17206.
if (tp->control.may_range_step)
{
/* If we're resuming a thread with the PC out of the step
range, then we're doing some nested/finer run control
operation, like stepping the thread out of the dynamic

gdb_assert (pc_in_thread_step_range (pc, tp));
}
In until_next_command, we set step range to [XXX, pc), so pc isn't
within the range. pc_in_thread_step_range returns false and the
assert is triggered. AFAICS, the range we want in until_next_command
is [XXX, pc] instead of [XXX, pc), because we want to program step
until greater than pc. This patch is to set step_range_end to
'pc + 1'. Running until-nodebug.exp with unpatched GDB will get the

Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several
different but related scenarios.
E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread
2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread
2, not thread 1. This obviously messes up programs that use
pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads.
This has been a known issue for a long while. Back in 2008 when I
made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see
code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later.
The time has finally come now.
The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always
delivered to the thread that had intercepted them.
Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches
to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually
delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches
to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint... If the user deletes the
breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered
to thread 2 (the current thread).
"signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the
program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing
"handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had
stopped for. These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin,
and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do. GDB might
have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new
signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test). At least in the
inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver
the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the
command's behavior consistent and easy to explain.
Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program
had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had
changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with:
(gdb) continue
Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO.
(gdb) thread 2
(gdb) signal SIGBAR
... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2
(with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then
"signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads).
So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation:
(gdb) thread 1
[Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)]
(gdb) signal SIGUSR2
Note:
Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2.
Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will
still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads.
Continue anyway? (y or n)
All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12649
The '-notransfer -re "<return>" { exp_continue }' trick in the current
tests doesn't actually work.
The issue that led to the -notransfer trick was that
"---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---"
has two "<return>"s. If one wants gdb_test_multiple to not hit the
built-in "<return>" match that results in FAIL, one has to expect the
pagination prompt in chunks, first up to the first "<return>", then
again, up to the second. Something around these lines:
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "<return>" {
exp_continue
}
-re "to quit ---" {
pass $test
}
}
The intent was for -notransfer+exp_continue to make expect fetch more
input, and rerun the matches against the now potentially fuller
buffer, and then eventually the -re that includes the full pagination
prompt regex would match instead (because it's listed higher up, it
would match first). But, once that "<return>" -notransfer -re
matches, it keeps re-matching forever. It seems like with
exp_continue, expect immediately retries matching, instead of first
reading in more data into the buffer, if available.
Fix this like I should have done in the first place. There's actually
no good reason for gdb_test_multiple to only match "<return>". We can
make gdb_test_multiple expect the whole pagination prompt text
instead, which is store in the 'pagination_prompt' global (similar to
'gdb_prompt'). Then a gdb_test_multiple caller that doesn't want the
default match to trigger, because it wants to see one pagination
prompt, does simply:
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "$pagination_prompt$" {
pass $test
}
}
which is just like when we don't want the default $gdb_prompt match
within gdb_test_multiple to trigger, like:
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "$gdb_prompt $" {
pass $test
}
}
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. In addition, I've let the racy tests run
all in parallel in a loop for 30 minutes, and they never failed.

I noticed that the existing code casts a function's address to 'long',
but that doesn't work correctly on some ABIs, like Win64, where long
is 32-bit and while pointers are 64-bit:
func_addr = (long) &write_basic_trace_file;
Fixing that showed there's actually another place in the file that
writes a function address to file, and therefore should clear the
Thumb bit. This commit adds a macro+function pair to centralize the
Thumb bit handling, and uses it in both places.
The rest is just enough changes to make the file build without

The other day I noticed that default_gdb_start reuses the GDB process
if it has been spawned already:
proc default_gdb_start { } {
...
if [info exists gdb_spawn_id] {
return 0
}
I was a bit surprised, and so I hacked in an error to check whether
anything is relying on it:
+ if [info exists gdb_spawn_id] {
+ error "GDB already spawned"
+ }
And lo, that tripped on a funny buglet (see below). The comment in
reread.exp says "Restart GDB entirely", but in reality, due to the
above, that's not what is happening, as a gdb_exit call is missing.
The test is proceeding with the previous GDB process...
I don't really want to go hunt for whether there's an odd setup out
there that assumes this in its board file or something, so for now,
I'm taking the simple route of just making the test do what it says it
does. I think this much makes it an obvious fix.

The __flash qualifier is part of the named address spaces for AVR [1]. It
allows putting read-only data in the flash memory, normally reserved for
code.
When used together with a pointer, the DW_AT_address_class attribute is set
to 1 and allows GDB to detect that when it will be dereferenced, the data
will be loaded from the flash memory (with the LPM instruction).
We can now properly debug the following code:
~~~
const __flash char data_in_flash = 0xab;
int
main (void)
{
const __flash char *pointer_to_flash = &data_in_flash;
}
~~~
~~~
(gdb) print pointer_to_flash
$1 = 0x1e8 <data_in_flash> "\253"
(gdb) print/x *pointer_to_flash
$2 = 0xab
(gdb) x/x pointer_to_flash
0x1e8 <data_in_flash>: 0xXXXXXXab
~~~
Whereas previously, GDB would revert to the default address space which is
RAM and mapped in higher memory:
~~~
(gdb) print pointer_to_flash
$1 = 0x8001e8 ""

When the target is resumed in the foreground, we put the inferior's
terminal settings into effect, and remove stdin from the event loop.
When the target stops, we put GDB's terminal settings into effect
again, and re-register stdin in the event loop, ready for user input.
The former is done by target_terminal_inferior, and the latter by
target_terminal_ours.
There's an intermediate -- target_terminal_ours_for_output -- that is
called when printing output related to target events, and we don't
know yet whether we'll stop the program. That puts our terminal
settings into effect, enough to get proper results from our output,
but leaves input wired into the inferior.
If such output paginates, then we need the full target_terminal_ours
in order for the user to be able to provide input to answer the
pagination query.
The test in this commit hangs in async-capable targets without the fix
(as the user/test can't answer the pagination query). It doesn't hang
on sync targets because on those we don't unregister stdin from the
event loop while the target is running (because we block in
target_wait instead of in the event loop in that case).

If an error is thrown while handling a target event (within
fetch_inferior_event), and, the interpreter is not async (but the
target is), then GDB prints the prompt twice.
One way to see that in action is throw a QUIT while in a pagination
prompt issued from within fetch_inferior_event (or one of its
callees). E.g. from the test:
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
^CQuit
(gdb) (gdb) p 1
^^^^^^^^^^^
$1 = 1
(gdb)
The issue is that inferior_event_handler swallows errors and notifies
the observers (the interpreters) about the command error, even if the
interpreter is forced sync while we're handling a nested event loop
(for execute_command). The observers print a prompt, and then when we
get back to the top event loop, we print another (in
start_event_loop).
I see no reason the error should be swallowed here. Just cancel the
execution related bits and let the error propagate to the top level
(start_event_loop), which re-enables stdin and notifies observers.

If a pagination prompt triggers while the target is running, and the
target exits before the user responded to the pagination query, this
happens:
Starting program: foo
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---No unwaited-for children left.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb) Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb)
To reiterate, the user hasn't replied to the pagination prompt above.
A pagination query nests an event loop (in gdb_readline_wrapper). In
async mode, in addition to stdin and signal handlers, we'll have the
target also installed in the event loop still. So if the target
reports an event, that wakes up the nested event loop, which calls
into fetch_inferior_event etc. to handle the event which generates
further output, all while we should be waiting for pagination
confirmation...
(TBC, any target event that generates output ends up spuriously waking
up the pagination, though exits seem to be the worse kind.)
I've played with a couple different approaches to fixing this, while
at the same time trying to avoid being invasive. Both revolve around
not listening to target events while in a pagination prompt (doing
anything else I think would be a much bigger change).
The approach taken just removes the target from the event loop while
within gdb_readline_wrapper. The other approach used gdb_select
directly, with only input_fd installed, but that had the issue that it
didn't handle the async signal handlers, and turned out to be a bit
more code than the first version.

gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is
processed. Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that
reinstalls the handler. But if the output is coming out of handling
a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the
handler. So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into
readline, which aborts.
We should do better with the prompt handling while the target is
running (I think we should coordinate with readline, and
hide/redisplay it around output), but that's a more invasive change
better done post 7.8, so this patch is conservative and just
reinstalls the handler as soon as we're out of the readline line
callback.

Usually, if an error propagates all the way to the top level, we'll
re-enable stdin, in case the command that was running was a
synchronous command. That's done in the event loop's actual loop
(event-loop.c:start_event_loop). However, if a foreground execution
command is run before the event loop starts and throws, nothing is
presently reenabling stdin, which leaves sync_execution set.
When we do start the event loop, because sync_execution is still
(mistakenly) set, display_gdb_prompt removes the readline input
callback, even though stdin is registered in the event loop. Any
input from here on results in readline aborting.
Such commands are run through catch_command_errors,
catch_command_errors_const, so add the tweak there.

This would best be all cleaned up by making GDB not even call
target_terminal_inferior and try to pass the terminal to the inferior
if running in the background, but that's a more invasive fix that is
better done post-7.8.
This was originally caught by a patch later in this series that makes
catch_command_errors use exception_print instead of
print_any_exception. Note that print_flush calls serial_drain_output
while print_any_exception doesnt't have that bit. And,
gdb.gdb/python-selftest.exp does:
gdb_test "call catch_command_errors(execute_command, \"python print 5\", 0, RETURN_MASK_ALL)" \
"Python not initialized.* = 0"
which without this fix results in SIGTTOU...

This fixes PR 17106, a regression in printing.
The bug is that resolve_dynamic_type follows struct members and
references, but doesn't consider the possibility of infinite
recursion.
This patch fixes the problem by limiting reference following to the
topmost layer of calls -- that is, reference-typed struct members are
never considered as being VLAs.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.
New test case included.

This fixes the record "run" regression pointed out by Marc Khouzam:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2014-06/msg00096.html
The bug is that target_require_runnable must agree with the handling
of the "run" target, but currently it is out of sync. This patch
fixes the problem by changing target_require_runnable to also ignore
the record_stratum.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

Right now we provide a board info entry, `gdb_init_command', that allows
one to send a single command to GDB before the program to be debugged is
started. This is useful e.g. for slow remote targets to change the
default "remotetimeout" setting. Occasionally I found a need to send
multiple commands instead, however this cannot be achieved with
`gdb_init_command'.
This change therefore extends the mechanism by adding a TCL list of GDB
commands to send, via a board info entry called `gdb_init_commands'.
There is no limit as to the number of commands put there. The old
`gdb_init_command' mechanism remains supported for compatibility with
existing people's environments.

GDB behaves correctly but the test assumes there is no symbol on
address 0x0. This patch is set print symbol off, so that tests below
can match the address only.

The problem is that linux_wait_for_event deletes lwps that have exited
(even those not passed in as lwps of interest), while the lwp/thread
list is being walked on with find_inferior. find_inferior can handle
the current iterated inferior being deleted, but not others.
When killing lwps, we don't really care about any of the pending
status handling of linux_wait_for_event. We can just waitpid the lwps
directly, which is also what GDB does (see
linux-nat.c:kill_wait_callback). This way the lwps are not deleted
while we're walking the list. They'll be deleted by linux_mourn
afterwards.
This crash triggers several times when running the testsuite against
GDBserver with the native-gdbserver board (target remote), but as GDB
can't distinguish between GDBserver crashing and "kill" being
sucessful, as in both cases the connection is closed (the 'k' packet
doesn't require a reply), and the inferior is gone, that results in no
FAIL.
The patch adds a generic test that catches the issue with
extended-remote mode (and works fine with native testing too). Here's
how it fails with the native-extended-gdbserver board without the fix:
