Debugging PR 16155 further, I found that the DWARF unwinder found the
function in question, but thought it had no registers saved
(fs->regs.num_regs == 0).
It seems to me that if a frame does not specify the return address
column, or if the return address column is explicitly marked as
DWARF2_FRAME_REG_UNSPECIFIED, then we should set the
"undefined_retaddr" flag and let the DWARF unwinder gracefully stop.
This patch implements that idea.
With this patch the backtrace works properly:

The UNWIND_SAME_ID check is done between THIS_FRAME and the next frame
when we go try to unwind the previous frame. But at this point, it's
already too late -- we ended up with two frames with the same ID in
the frame chain. Each frame having its own ID is an invariant assumed
throughout GDB. This patch applies the UNWIND_SAME_ID detection
earlier, right after the previous frame is unwound, discarding the dup
frame if a cycle is detected.
The patch includes a new test that fails before the change. Before
the patch, the test causes an infinite loop in GDB, after the patch,
the UNWIND_SAME_ID logic kicks in and makes the backtrace stop with:
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
The test uses dwarf CFI to emulate a corrupted stack with a cycle. It
has a function with registers marked DW_CFA_same_value (most
importantly RSP/RIP), so that GDB computes the same ID for that frame
and its caller. IOW, something like this:
#0 - frame_id_1
#1 - frame_id_2
#2 - frame_id_3
#3 - frame_id_4
#4 - frame_id_4 <<<< outermost (UNWIND_SAME_ID).
(The test's code is just a copy of dw2-reg-undefined.S /
dw2-reg-undefined.c, adjusted to use DW_CFA_same_value instead of
DW_CFA_undefined, and to mark a different set of registers.)
The infinite loop is here, in value_fetch_lazy:
while (VALUE_LVAL (new_val) == lval_register && value_lazy (new_val))
{
frame = frame_find_by_id (VALUE_FRAME_ID (new_val));
...
new_val = get_frame_register_value (frame, regnum);
}
get_frame_register_value can return a lazy register value pointing to
the next frame. This means that the register wasn't clobbered by
FRAME; the debugger should therefore retrieve its value from the next
frame.
To be clear, get_frame_register_value unwinds the value in question
from the next frame:
struct value *
get_frame_register_value (struct frame_info *frame, int regnum)
{
return frame_unwind_register_value (frame->next, regnum);
^^^^^^^^^^^
}
In other words, if we get a lazy lval_register, it should have the
frame ID of the _next_ frame, never of FRAME.
At this point in value_fetch_lazy, the whole relevant chunk of the
stack up to frame #4 has already been unwound. The loop always
"unlazies" lval_registers in the "next/innermost" direction, not in
the "prev/unwind further/outermost" direction.
So say we're looking at frame #4. get_frame_register_value in frame
#4 can return a lazy register value of frame #3. So the next
iteration, frame_find_by_id tries to read the register from frame #3.
But, since frame #4 happens to have same id as frame #3,
frame_find_by_id returns frame #4 instead. Rinse, repeat, and we have
an infinite loop.
This is an old latent problem, exposed by the recent addition of the
frame stash. Before we had a stash, frame_find_by_id(frame_id_4)
would walk over all frames starting at the current frame, and would
always find #3 first. The stash happens to return #4 instead:
struct frame_info *
frame_find_by_id (struct frame_id id)
{
struct frame_info *frame, *prev_frame;
...
/* Try using the frame stash first. Finding it there removes the need
to perform the search by looping over all frames, which can be very
CPU-intensive if the number of frames is very high (the loop is O(n)
and get_prev_frame performs a series of checks that are relatively
expensive). This optimization is particularly useful when this function
is called from another function (such as value_fetch_lazy, case
VALUE_LVAL (val) == lval_register) which already loops over all frames,
making the overall behavior O(n^2). */

PASS: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print objfiles: psymtabs
FAIL: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print objfiles: symtabs
The problem is in my case, expect is managing to alway put in the
buffer chunks like this:
Psymtabs:
../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break1.c at 0x1ed2280, ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c at 0x1ed21d0,
Symtabs:
../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c at 0x1f044f0, /usr/include/stdio.h at 0x1ed25a0, /usr/include/libio.h at 0x1ed2510, /usr/include/bits/types.h at 0x1ed2480, /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.2/include/stddef.h at 0x1ed23f0,

0x1f65290, ...
Note: Psymtabs:/Symtabs:/Psymtabs:.
So, the loop matches the first Psymtabs in the buffer. Then we're
left with
../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break1.c at 0x1ed2280, ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c at 0x1ed21d0,

0x1f65290, ...
In the next iteration, because the psymtabs regex comes first, we
match with the Psymtabs: line, then of course, end up with just
bsearch.c at 0x1f65340, ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.c at

in the buffer. The "Symtabs:" line is lost. expect then reads more
gdb output, and manages to again retrieve the same pattern. Rinse,
repeat, and the test never matches any "Symtab:" line.
We don't know the order the matches lines will appear, so the fix is
to consume one line at a time, and run it through all three milestone
regexes.

This patch fixes some spurious failures when the inferior is linked
against the shared version of libgnat by default, as appears to be
the case on many GNU/Linux distributions. When that happens, we have
to start the program in order to ensure that the GNAT runtime is
mapped to memory, in order for us to find the standard exceptions
(defined within the runtime). Otherwise, they will not be shown,
as expected, by the debugger.

This patch fixes PR c++/16117.
gdb has an extension so that users can use expressions like FILE::NAME
to choose a variable of the given name from the given file. The bug
is that this extension takes precedence over ordinary C++ expressions
of the same form. You might think this is merely hypothetical, but
now that C++ headers commonly do not use an extension, it is more
common.
This patch fixes the bug by making two related changes. First, it
changes gdb to prefer the ordinary C++ meaning of a symbol over the
extended meaning. Second, it arranges for single-quoting of the
symbol to indicate a preference for the extension.

Consider the following code, compiled at -O2 on ppc-linux:
procedure Increment (Val : in out Float; Msg : String);
The implementation does not really matter in this case). In our example,
this function is being called from a function with Param_1 set to 99.0.
Trying to break inside that function, and running until reaching that
breakpoint yields:
(gdb) b increment
Breakpoint 1 at 0x100014b4: file callee.adb, line 6.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/foo
Breakpoint 1, callee.increment (val=99.0, val@entry=0.0, msg=...)
at callee.adb:6
6 if Val > 200.0 then
The @entry value for parameter "val" is incorrect, it should be 99.0.
The associated call-site parameter DIE looks like this:
.uleb128 0xc # (DIE (0x115) DW_TAG_GNU_call_site_parameter)
.byte 0x2 # DW_AT_location
.byte 0x90 # DW_OP_regx
.uleb128 0x21
.byte 0x3 # DW_AT_GNU_call_site_value
.byte 0xf5 # DW_OP_GNU_regval_type
.uleb128 0x3f
.uleb128 0x25
The DW_AT_GNU_call_site_value uses a DW_OP_GNU_regval_type
operation, referencing register 0x3f=63, which is $f31,
an 8-byte floating register. In that register, the value is
stored using the usual 8-byte float format:
(gdb) info float
f31 99.0 (raw 0x4058c00000000000)
The current code evaluating DW_OP_GNU_regval_type operations
currently is (dwarf2expr.c:execute_stack_op):
result = (ctx->funcs->read_reg) (ctx->baton, reg);
result_val = value_from_ulongest (address_type, result);
result_val = value_from_contents (type,
value_contents_all (result_val));
What the ctx->funcs->read_reg function does is read the contents
of the register as if it contained an address. The rest of the code
continues that assumption, thinking it's OK to then use that to
create an address/ulongest struct value, which we then re-type
to the type specified by DW_OP_GNU_regval_type.
We're getting 0.0 above because the read_reg implementations
end up treating the contents of the FP register as an integral,
reading only 4 out of the 8 bytes. Being a big-endian target,
we read the high-order ones, which gives us zero.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new callback to
read the contents of a register as a given type, and then adjust
the handling of DW_OP_GNU_regval_type to use that new callback.

Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C,
this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get...
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context."
... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result.
The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C
before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as:
1. save current language
2. set language c
3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
4. Restore language
This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context
Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting
the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of
general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead.
This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar
new command option: --language LANG. Example of use:
-data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)"
^done,value="4"

I noticed today that multi-arch-exec.exp was failing in parallel mode.
The bug is that multi-arch-exec.c assumes the non-parallel directory
layout.
This patch fixes the problem using the same "BASEDIR" approach used in
other tests.
Tested both ways on x86-64 Fedora 18.
I'm checking this in.

* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: Define BASEDIR when compiling.
* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.c (main): Use BASEDIR.
This patch implements a new GDB/MI command implementing the equivalent
of the "info exceptions" CLI command. The command syntax is:
-info-ada-exceptions [REGEXP]
Here is an example of usage (slightly formatted by hand to make it
easier to read):
-info-ada-exceptions ions\.a_
^done,ada-exceptions=
{nr_rows="2",nr_cols="2",
hdr=[{width="1",alignment="-1",col_name="name",colhdr="Name"},
{width="1",alignment="-1",col_name="address",colhdr="Address"}],
body=[{name="global_exceptions.a_global_exception",
address="0x0000000000613a80"},
{name="global_exceptions.a_private_exception",
address="0x0000000000613ac0"}]}
Also, in order to allow graphical frontends to easily determine
whether this command is available or not, the output of the
"-list-features" command has been augmented to contain
"info-ada-exceptions".
gdb/Changelog:
* mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_info_ada_exceptions): Add declaration.
* mi/mi-cmds.c (mi_cmds): Add entry for -info-ada-exceptions
command.
* mi/mi-cmd-info.c: #include "ada-lang.c" and "arch-utils.c".
(mi_cmd_info_ada_exceptions): New function.
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add "info-ada-exceptions".
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_exc_info: New testcase.
This patch adds a new command "info exceptions" whose purpose is to
provide the list of exceptions currently defined in the inferior.
The usage is:
(gdb) info exceptions [REGEXP]
Without argument, the command lists all exceptions. Otherwise,
only those whose name match REGEXP are listed.
For instance:
(gdb) info exceptions
All defined Ada exceptions:
constraint_error: 0x613dc0
program_error: 0x613d40
storage_error: 0x613d00
tasking_error: 0x613cc0
global_exceptions.a_global_exception: 0x613a80
global_exceptions.a_private_exception: 0x613ac0
The name of the command, as well as its output is part of a legacy
I inherited long ago. It's output being parsed by frontends such as
GPS, I cannot easily change it. Same for the command name.
The implementation is mostly self-contained, and is written in a way
that should make it easy to implement the GDB/MI equivalent. The
careful reviewer will notice that the code added in ada-lang.h could
normally be made private inside ada-lang.c. But these will be used
by the GDB/MI implementation. Rather than making those private now,
only to move them later, I've made them public right away.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h: #include "vec.h".
(struct ada_exc_info): New.
(ada_exc_info): New typedef.
(DEF_VEC_O(ada_exc_info)): New vector.
(ada_exceptions_list): Add declaration.
* ada-lang.c (ada_is_exception_sym)
(ada_is_non_standard_exception_sym, compare_ada_exception_info)
(sort_remove_dups_ada_exceptions_list)
(ada_exc_search_name_matches, ada_add_standard_exceptions)
(ada_add_exceptions_from_frame, ada_add_global_exceptions)
(ada_exceptions_list_1, ada_exceptions_list)
(info_exceptions_command): New function.
(_initialize_ada_language): Add "info exception" command.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/info_exc: New testcase.
When using the GDB/MI commands to insert a catchpoint on a specific
Ada exception, any re-evaluation of that catchpoint (for instance
a re-evaluation performed after a shared library got mapped by the
inferior) fails. For instance, with any Ada program:
(gdb)
-catch-exception -e program_error
^done,bkptno="1",bkpt={[...]}
(gdb)
-exec-run
=thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="28315"
=thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1"
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb)
=library-loaded,[...]
&"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n"
&"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n"
[...]
The same is true if using an Ada exception catchpoint.
The problem comes from the fact that that we deallocate the strings
given as arguments to create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while the latter
just makes shallow copies of those strings, thus creating dandling
pointers.
This patch fixes the issue by passing freshly allocated strings to
create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while at the same time updating
create_ada_exception_catchpoint's documentation to make it clear
that deallocating the strings is no longer the responsibility of
the caller.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (create_ada_exception_catchpoint): Enhance
the documentation of fields "except_string" and "condition".
* mi/mi-cmd-catch.c (mi_cmd_catch_assert): Reallocate
CONDITION on the heap before passing it to
create_ada_exception_catchpoint.
(mi_cmd_catch_exception): Likewise for EXCEPTION_NAME and
CONDITION.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_ex_cond: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux. The "-break-list" test FAILs without
this patch.
