This function provides the exact same functionality as extract_arg,
except that it takes a "const char**" instead of a "char **".
It allows us also to re-implement extract_arg almost as a simple
wrapper around the new function.

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

other tests.
Tested both ways on x86-64 Fedora 18.
I'm checking this in.

Rather than having -list-features report support for the GDB/MI
commands providing access to Ada exception catchpoints with one entry,
and the GDB/MI command providing the list of Ada exceptions with
a second entry, this patch merges it all within one single entry.
This is OK, because all these commands were added within a short
amount of time, and within the same release cycle; and it reduces
a bit the size of the output.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Replace "info-ada-exceptions"
entry with "ada-exceptions".
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Delete
the documentation of "info-ada-exceptions" in the output
of the "-list-features" command. Add the documentation
of the "ada-exception" entry instead.
This patch aims at fixing the following problem, where the user:
. debugs its program
. makes a modification and rebuilds it *without exiting the debugger*
. returns to its debugging session and restarts the inferior
In that situation, the debugger notices that the underlying executable
has changed and that re-reading its symbols is needed. Shortly after
displaying a message informing the user of the situation, GDB crashes:
(gdb) run
[...]
`/[...]/dest' has changed; re-reading symbols.
zsh: 13434922 segmentation fault (core dumped)
The crash occurs while trying to allocate some memory on the bfd_bfd
obstack. But, at some point in time, the whole obstack data gets
corrupted, nullified. So the memory allocation fails trying to call
a function at a NULL address. (side note: when debugging GDB in GDB,
top-gdb reports a SIGILL, while the shell makes it look like it was
a SIGSEGV - the discrepancy is not critical to the investigation
and therefore was not explored)
The corruption occurred because the region where the per_bfd data
got free'ed nearly after it got allocated! This is what happens,
in chronological order (see reread_symbols):
1. GDB notices that the executable has changed, decides to
re-read its symbols.
2. Opens a new bfd, unrefs the old one
3. Calls set_objfile_per_bfd (objfile);
4. Re-initializes the objfile's obstack:
obstack_init (&objfile->objfile_obstack);
I think that the normal behavior for set_objfile_per_bfd would
be to search for already-allocated shared per_bfd data, and
allocate new one if not found. The critical difference between
a platform such as x86_64-linuxe where it works, and ppc-aix,
where it doesn't lies in the fact that bfd-data sharing is not
activated on ppc-aix, and as a result, the per-bfd data gets
allocated on the objfile's obstack instead of in the bfd objalloc:
/* If the object requires gdb to do relocations, we simply fall
back to not sharing data across users. These cases are rare
enough that this seems reasonable. */
if (abfd != NULL && !gdb_bfd_requires_relocations (abfd))
{
storage = bfd_zalloc (abfd, sizeof (struct objfile_per_bfd_storage));
set_bfd_data (abfd, objfiles_bfd_data, storage);
}
else
storage = OBSTACK_ZALLOC (&objfile->objfile_obstack,
struct objfile_per_bfd_storage);
Allocating that per_bfd storage is of course nearly useless since
we end up free-ing right after in step (4) above. Eventually,
the memory region ends up being re-used, hence the corruption
leading to the crash.
This fix was simply to move the call to set_objfile_per_bfd after
the objfile's obstack re-initialization.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* symfile.c (reread_symbols): Move call to set_objfile_per_bfd
after re-initialization of OBJFILE's obstack.
Upstream GCC's new pass '-fisolate-erroneous-paths' may introduce
traps at places where GCC has determined undefined behavior, e.g. when
passing a NULL pointer to a function that defines this argument as
__attribute__(__nonnull__(...)). In particular this applies to
uniquify_strings(), because it invokes qsort() with NULL when the
'strings' vector is empty. I hit this problem on s390x when trying to
execute "break main" on a C program.

* NEWS: Add entry for the new "info exceptions" CLI command,
and for the new "-info-ada-exceptions" GDB/MI command.
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".

(_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

An earlier patch removed the check for "syscall" since the results
were not used in the C code. However, the result was used, via the
cache variable, elsewhere in configure.
This patch fixes the problem by checking for "syscall" at the point at
which HAVE_TKILL_SYSCALL is defined.

My grepping around showed that HAVE_MULTIPLE_PROC_FDS is only ever
mentioned in a comment in configure.ac. Since the macro is long dead,
let's remove the last mention.
2013-11-08 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* configure: Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Remove mentions of HAVE_MULTIPLE_PROC_FDS.
Now that the configury needed for the "common" and "target"
directories is in common.m4, some code in gdb's configure.ac is
redundant.
I ran this script after making an "ID" file using mkid:
sed -n 's/^.*\(HAVE_[A-Z0-9_]*\).*$/\1/p' config.in |
while read x; do
echo ===== $x
gid $x | egrep -v '^(testsuite|gnulib|common|target|gdbserver)/'
done
This finds all the spots using HAVE_ defines, and, more importantly,
makes it clear which defines aren't used in the main parts of gdb.
From this I came up with this patch to remove all the unused bits.
There are a few that are subtly used -- for example the configure
script sometimes checks internal configure cache variables, meaning
some checks cannot be removed.

* m32c-tdep.c: Use gdb_string.h.
The removal of solib-sunos.c also removed the last user of various

* configure, config.in: Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Remove all link.h-related checks.
It has bothered me for a while that files in common/ use macros
defined via autoconf checks, but rely on each configure.ac doing the
proper checks independently.
This patch introduces common/common.m4 which consolidates the checks
assumed by code in common.
The rule I propose is that if something is needed or used by common,
it should be checked for by common.m4. However, if the check is also
needed by gdb or gdbserver, then it should be duplicated there.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18 (though this is hardly the
most strenuous case) and using the Fedora 18 mingw cross compilers. I
also examined the config.in diffs to ensure that symbols did not go
missing.

This patch constifies the target_ops method to_detach.
This is a small cleanup, but also, I think, a bug-prevention fix,
since gdb already acts as if the "args" argument here was const.
In particular, top.c:quit_force calls kill_or_detach via
iterate_over_inferiors. kill_or_detach calls target_detach, passing
the same argument each time. So, if one of these methods was not
const-correct, then kill_or_detach would change its behavior in a
strange way.
I could not build every target I modified in this patch. I've
inspected them all by hand, though. Many targets do not use the
"args" parameter; a couple pass it to atoi; and a few pass it on to
the to_detach method of the target beneath. The only code that
required a real change was in linux-nat.c, and that only needed the
introduction of a temporary variable for const-correctness.

This patch does some cleanups, removing some language-related stuff.
Note that mi_cmd_var_info_expression uses varobj_language_string,
which is redundant, because we can get language name from
lang->la_natural_name.
varobj_language_string doesn't have "Ada", which looks like a bug to
me. With this patch applied, this problem doesn't exist, because the
language name is got from the same place (field la_natural_name).

When checking for the presence of the TDB regset, the current code
interprets ENODATA from PTRACE_GETREGSET as an indication that the TDB
regset *could* occur on this system, but the inferior stopped outside
a transaction. However, the Linux kernel actually reports ENODATA
even on systems without the transactional execution facility. Thus
the logic is now changed to check the TE field in the HWCAP as well.
This version also checks the existence of the TDB regset -- just to be
on the safe side when running on TE-enabled hardware with a kernel
that does not offer the TDB regset for some reason.

This patch is to add a test case to on the performance of GDB handling
load and unload of shared library.
In V4:
- Handle malloc and dlopen failure,
- Document test parameters.
In V3, there are some changes,
- Adapt to perf test framework changes.
- Measure load and unload separately.
In V2, there are some changes,
- A new proc gdb_produce_source to produce source files. I tried to
move all source file generation code out of solib.exp, but
compilation step still needs to know the generated file names. I
have to hard-code the file names in compilation step, which is not
good to me, so I give up on this moving.
- SOLIB_NUMBER -> SOLIB_COUNT
- New variable SOLIB_DLCLOSE_REVERSED_ORDER to control the order of
iterating a list of shared libs to dlclose them.
- New variable GDB_PERFORMANCE to enable these perf test cases.
- Remove dlsym call in solib.c.
- Update solib.py for the updated framework.

This patch adds a basic framework to do performance testing for GDB.
perftest.py is about the test case, testresult.py is about test
results, and how are they saved. reporter.py is about how results
are reported (in what format). measure.py is about measuring the
execution of tests by a collection of measurements.
In V5:
- Simplify perftest.exp.
In V4:
- Rename MeasurementCPUTime to MeasurementCpuTime,
- Add 'pass' in empty method,
- Simplify string comparison in perftest.exp.
- Rename GDB_PERFORMANCE to GDB_PERFTEST_MODE and rename
GDB_PERFORMANCE_TIMEOUT to GDB_PERFTEST_TIMEOUT.
In V3, there are some changes,
- Add wall time measurement, cpu time measurement and vmsize
measurement.
- Rename SingleStatisticTestCase to TestCaseWithBasicMeasurements,
which measures cpu time, wall time, and memory (vmsize).
- GDB_PERFORMANCE=run|compile|both to control the mode of perf
testing.
- New GDB_PERFORMANCE_TIMEOUT to specify the timeout.
- Split proc prepare to proc compile and startup.
- Disable GC while doing measurements.
In V2, there are several changes to address Doug and Sanimir's
comments.
- Add copyright header and docstring in perftest/__init__.py
- Remove config.py.
- Fix docstring format.
- Rename classes "SingleVariable" to "SingleStatistic".
- Don't extend gdb.Function in class TestCase. Add a new method run
to run the test case so that we can pass parameters to test.
- Allow to customize whether to warm up and to append test log.
- Move time measurement into test harness. Add a new class
Measurement for a specific measurement and a new class Measure to
measure them for a given test case.
- A new class ResultFactory to create instances of TestResult.
- New file lib/perftest.exp, which is to do some preparations and
cleanups to simplify each *.exp file.
- Skip compilation step if GDB_PERFORMANCE_SKIP_COMPILE is set.

We add a new dir gdb.perf in testsuite for all performance tests.
However, current 'make check' logic will either run dejagnu in
directory testsuite or iterate all gdb.* directories which has *.exp
files. Both of them will run tests in gdb.perf. We want to achieve:
1) typical 'make check' should not run performance tests. In each perf
test case, GDB_PERFTEST_MODE is checked. If it doesn't exist, return.
2) run perf tests easily. We add a new makefile target 'check-perf'.

This switches "make check" to fully parallel mode.
One primary issue facing full parallelization is the overhead of
"runtest". On my machine, if I "touch gdb.base/empty.exp", making a
new file, and then "time runtest.exp", it takes 0.08 seconds.
Multiply this by the 1008 (in my configuration) tests and you get ~80
seconds. This is the overhead that would theoretically be present if
all tests were run in parallel.
However, the problem isn't nearly as bad as this, for two reasons.
First, you must divide by the number of jobs, assuming perfect
parallelization -- reasonably true for small -j numbers, based on the
results I see.
Second, the current test suite parallelization approach bundles the
tests, largely by directory, but also splitting up gdb.base into two
halves.
I was curious to see how the current bundling played out in practice,
so I ran "make -j1 check RUNTEST='/bin/time runtest'". This invokes
the parallel mode (thus the bundling) and then shows the time taken by
each invocation of runtest.
Then, I ran "/bin/time make -j3 check". (See below about -j2.)
The time for the entire -j3 test run was the same as the time for
"gdb.base1". What this means is that gdb.base1 is currently the
time-limiting run, preventing further parallelization gains.
So, I reason, whatever overhead we see from full parallelization will
only be seen by "-j1" and "-j2".
I then tried a -j2 test run. This does take longer than a -j3 build,
meaning that the gdb.base1 job finishes and then proceeds to other
runtest invocations.
Finally I tried a -j2 test run with the appended patch.
This was 9% slower than the -j2 run without the patch.
I think that is a reasonable slowdown for what is probably a rare
case. I believe this patch will yield faster test results for all -j
values greater than 2. For -j3 on my machine, the test suite is a few
seconds faster; I didn't try any larger -j values.
For -j1, I went ahead and changed the Makefile so that, if no -j
option is given, then the "check-single" mode is used. You can still
use "make -j1 check" to get single-job parallel-mode, though of course
there's no good reason to do so.
This change is likely to speed up the plain "make check" scenario a
little as we will now bypass dg-extract-results.sh.
One drawback of this change is that "make -jN check" is now much more
verbose. I generally only look at the .sum and .log files, but
perhaps this will bother some.
Another interesting question is scalability of the result. The
slowest test, which limits the scalability, took 80.78 seconds. The
mean of the remaining tests is 1.08 seconds. (Note that this is just
a rough estimate, since there are still outliers.)
This means we can run 80.78 / 1.08 =~ 74 tests in the time available.
And, in this data set (slightly older than the above, but materially
the same) there were 948 tests. So, I think the current test suite
should scale ok up to about -j12.
We could improve this number if need be by breaking up the biggest
tests.

A couple of Fission tests rely on the current directory layout. This

This patch fixes the problem by removing the relative directory from

A few tests run an inferior that execs some other program. The name

argv0-symlink.exp doesn't work properly if standard_output_file puts

2013-11-04 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* gdb.stabs/weird.exp: Use gdb_remote_download and
standard_output_file.
This fixes some parallelization thinkos from a while ago. I'm not
sure how the problems ever slipped through. In addition to a thinko
fix in twice.exp, this also finishes fixing it up for parallelization.
2013-11-04 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/gcore-buffer-overflow.exp: Use
standard_output_file, not standard_testfile.
* gdb.base/twice.exp: Use standard_testfile, not
standard_output_file. Use gdb_remote_download.
Currently a proc in gdb.exp toggles the expect (and thus dejagnu)
logging. This is not a super idea, but it is there to avoid putting
some preprocessor output into the log.
In the right circumstances, this can result in the log file being
mysteriously truncated. I think this happens because it doesn't
necessarily write to the correct log file again.
The fix is to use "log_file -info" to save the previous log file.
2013-11-04 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* lib/gdb.exp (get_compiler_info): Use log_file -info and
restore from that.
I noticed a large (100MB) restore took hours to complete. The problem
is memory_xfer_partial repeatedly mallocs and memcpys the entire
100MB buffer for breakpoint shadow handling only to find a small
portion of it is actually written.
The testcase that originally took hours now takes 50 seconds.

* target.c (memory_xfer_partial): Cap write to 4KB.
As discussed on the GDB ML[1], libc probes for longjmp were not being
loaded if a custom <arch>_get_longjmp_target function was not
implemented.
This is trivially fixed by moving the 'if (!gdbarch_get_longjmp_target_p
(gdbarch))' down, just bellow libc probe code and above the per-objfile
cache lookup.
While the condition could also be removed altogether with no
side-effects, it is in fact an optimization to avoid searching for
symbols if the arch doesn't provide support for get_longjmp_target().
This has been tested on PPC and PPC64.

IMO, it doesn't make sense to map random syscall, fork, etc. events to
GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, and possible have the debuggee see that trap. This
just seems conceptually wrong to me - these aren't real signals a
debuggee would ever see. In fact, when stopped for those events, on
Linux, the debuggee isn't in a signal-stop -- there's no way to
resume-and-deliver-signal at that point, for example. E.g., when
stopped at a fork event:
(gdb) catch fork
Catchpoint 2 (fork)
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Catchpoint 2 (forked process 4570), 0x000000323d4ba7c4 in __libc_fork () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c:131
131 pid = ARCH_FORK ();
(gdb) set debug infrun 1
(gdb) signal SIGTRAP
Continuing with signal SIGTRAP.
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (process 4566)
infrun: proceed (addr=0xffffffffffffffff, signal=5, step=0)
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=5), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 4566] at 0x323d4ba7c4

infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED
[Inferior 1 (process 4566) exited normally]
infrun: stop_stepping
(gdb)
Note the signal went nowhere. It was swallowed.
Resuming with a SIGTRAP from a syscall event does queue the signal,
but doesn't deliver it immediately, like "signal SIGTRAP" from a real
signal would. It's still an artificial SIGTRAP:
(gdb) catch syscall
Catchpoint 2 (any syscall)
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Catchpoint 2 (call to syscall clone), 0x000000323d4ba7c4 in __libc_fork () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c:131

In all the above, I used 'signal SIGTRAP' to emulate 'handle SIGTRAP
pass'. As described in "keep_going", 'handle SIGTRAP pass' does have
its place:
/* Do not deliver GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP (except when the user
explicitly specifies that such a signal should be delivered
to the target program). Typically, that would occur when a
user is debugging a target monitor on a simulator: the target
monitor sets a breakpoint; the simulator encounters this
breakpoint and halts the simulation handing control to GDB;
GDB, noting that the stop address doesn't map to any known
breakpoint, returns control back to the simulator; the
simulator then delivers the hardware equivalent of a
GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP to the program being debugged. */
... and I've made use of that myself when implementing/debugging
stubs/monitors. But in these cases, treating these events as SIGTRAP
possibly injects signals in the debuggee they'd never see otherwise,
because you need to use ptrace to enable these special events, which
aren't real signals.
There's more. Take this bit of handle_inferior_event, where we
determine whether a real signal (TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED) was random
or not:
if (ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_signal == GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP)
ecs->random_signal
= !((bpstat_explains_signal (ecs->event_thread->control.stop_bpstat,
GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP)
!= BPSTAT_SIGNAL_NO)
|| stopped_by_watchpoint
|| ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected
|| (ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_end
&& (ecs->event_thread->control.step_resume_breakpoint
== NULL)));
else
{
enum bpstat_signal_value sval;
sval = bpstat_explains_signal (ecs->event_thread->control.stop_bpstat,
ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_signal);
ecs->random_signal = (sval == BPSTAT_SIGNAL_NO);
if (sval == BPSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE)
ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP;
}
Note that the
if (sval == BPSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE)
ecs->event_thread->suspend.stop_signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP;
bit is only reacheable for signals != GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP. AFAICS, sval
can only be BPSTAT_SIGNAL_HIDE if nothing in the bpstat returns
BPSTAT_SIGNAL_PASS. So that excludes a "catch signal" for the signal
in question in the bpstat. All other catchpoints that aren't based on
breakpoints behind the scenes call process_event_stop_test directly
(don't pass through here) (well, almost all: TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED
does have a fall through, but only for STOP_QUIETLY or
STOP_QUIETLY_NO_SIGSTOP, which still return before this code is
reached). Catchpoints that are implemented as breakpoints behind the
scenes can only appear in the bpstat if the signal was GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
(bkpt_breakpoint_hit returns false otherwise). So that leaves a
target reporting a hardware watchpoint hit with a signal other than
GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP. And even then it looks quite wrong to me to
magically convert the signal into a GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP here too -- if the
user has set SIGTRAP to "handle pass", the program will see a trap
that gdb invented, not one the program would ever see without gdb in
the picture.

I tried to build gdb on the AIX machine in the GCC compile farm

<!target_stopped_data_address>: Hardcode return 1.
Now that all ecs->random_signal handing is always done before the
'process_event_stop_test' label, we can easily make that a real
function and actually give it a describing comment that somewhat makes
sense.
Reindenting the new function will be handled in a follow up patch.

* infrun.c (process_event_stop_test): New function, factored out

(handle_inferior_event): 'process_event_stop_test' is now a
function instead of a goto label -- adjust.
We only ever call "goto process_event_stop_test;" right after checking
that ecs->random_signal is clear. The code at the
process_event_stop_test label looks like:
/* For the program's own signals, act according to
the signal handling tables. */
if (ecs->random_signal)
{
... random signal handling ...
return;
}
else
{
... the stop tests that actually matter for the goto callers.
}
So this moves the label into the else branch. It'll make converting
process_event_stop_test into a function a bit clearer.

* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Move process_event_stop_test
goto label to the else branch of the ecs->random_signal check,
along with FRAME and GDBARCH re-fetching.
I recently added a new ecs->random_signal test after the "switch back to
stepped thread" code, and before the stepping tests. Looking at
making process_event_stop_test a proper function, I realized it'd be
better to keep ecs->random_signal related code together. To do that,
I needed to factor out the "switch back to stepped thread" code to a new
function, and call it in both the "random signal" and "not random
signal" paths.

'ecs' is always memset before being passed to handle_inferior_event.
The stop func is only filled in later in the flow. And since "Remove

ecs->random_signal before this part is reached either.

This is a follow-up series to move language stuff out of varobj.c.
This patch adds a new field la_varobj_ops in struct language_defn so
that each language has varobj-related options. Not every language
supports varobj, and the operations are identical to operations of c
languages.
'struct language_defn' is the ideal place to save all language-related
operations. After this patch, some cleanups can be done in patch 2/2,
which removes language-related stuff completely from varobj.c.

Some remote stubs do not have a proper exit() function implementation.
gdb.base/bang.exp was failing on those targets due to timeout. With
this patch bang.exp uses already defined library procedures to handle
this situation gracefully without breaking native targets.

* gdb.base/bang.exp: Use gdb_continue_to_end to properly support
remote stubs where exit() behaviour is unreliable.
With:
struct static_struct { static int aaa; };
struct static_struct sss;
int main () { return 0; }
We get:
(gdb) p sss
$1 = {static aaa = <optimized out>}
(gdb) p sss.aaa
field aaa is nonexistent or has been optimized out
Note that the "field aaa ..." message is an error being thrown.
GDB is graceful everywhere else when printing optimized out values.
IOW it usually prints an <optimized out> value and puts that in the
value history. I see no reason for here to be different, more so that
when the print the whole "containing" object (well, it's a static
field, so it's not really a container), we already print <optimized
out>.
After the patch:
(gdb) p sss
$1 = {static aaa = <optimized out>}
(gdb) p sss.aaa
$2 = <optimized out>
The value_entirely_optimized_out checks are there to preserve
behavior. Without those, if the static field is a struct/union, GDB
would go and print its fields one by one (and print <optimized out>
for each).

This problem was introduced by this patch
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-04/msg00000.html), in
which get_traceframe_number is not checked before calling
traceframe_available_memory. This patch moves the check to
remote_traceframe_info, say, if GDB doesn't have traceframe selected, GDB
doesn't need to send qXfer:traceframe-info:read packets.
With this patch applied, there is no qXfer:traceframe-info:read sent
out and single step is speed up a little bit.

Occasionaly we hear about people having problems with GDB not being
able to start programs (with "run"/"start"). GDB spawns a shell to
start the program, and most often, it'll be the case that the problem
is actually with the user's shell setup.
GDB has code to disable the use of the shell to start programs.
That's the STARTUP_WITH_SHELL macro that native targets could set to 0
in their nm.h file (though no target actually uses it nowadays).
This patch makes that setting a run-time knob instead. This will be
useful to quickly diagnose such shell issues, and might also come in
handy at other times (such as when debugging the shell itself, if you
don't have a different shell handy).

The other day while debugging something related to random signals, I
got confused with "set debug infrun 1" output, for it said:
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal 20
On GNU/Linux, 20 is SIGTSTP. For some reason, it took me a few
minutes to realize that 20 is actually a GDB signal number, not a
target signal number (duh!). In any case, I propose making GDB's
output clearer here:
One way would be to use gdb_signal_to_name, like already used
elsewhere:
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal SIGCHLD (20)
but I think that might confuse someone too ("20? Why does GDB believe
SIGCHLD is 20?"). So I thought of printing the enum string instead:
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal GDB_SIGNAL_CHLD (20)
Looking at a more complete infrun debug log, we had actually printed
the (POSIX) signal name name a bit before:
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 9300 [Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 9300)],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = SIGCHLD
...
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4e8b94
infrun: random signal 20
So I'm now thinking that it'd be even better to make infrun output
consistently use the enum symbol string, like so:
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0x7ffff7fca700 (LWP 25663))
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 25659))

GDB's signal numbers are public and hardcoded (see
include/gdb/signals.h), so there's really no need to clutter the
output with numeric values in some places while others not. Replacing
the magic "144" with GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT in "proceed"'s debug output
(see above) I think is quite nice.
I posit that all this makes it clearer to newcomers that GDB has its
own signal numbering (and that there must be some mapping going on).

In the first hunk, the format string was off-by-one for cmd, and cmd
itself was larger than the maximum size required. cmd was reduced in
size and the format string adjusted.
In the second hunk, the format string was off-by-one for local_address,
remote_address and extra, although the buffers for the two addresses
were large enough for this not to matter. The specifiers for the two

extra were suppressed from parsing.

'*ecs' is always memset by handle_inferior_event's callers, so all
these clears are unnecessary. There's one place that sets the flag to
true, but, afterwards, before ecs->random_signal is ever read, we
reach the part of handle_inferior_even that clears ecs->random_signal,
among other things:
clear_stop_func (ecs);
ecs->event_thread->stepping_over_breakpoint = 0;
bpstat_clear (&ecs->event_thread->control.stop_bpstat);
ecs->event_thread->control.stop_step = 0;
stop_print_frame = 1;

I realized that remote.c is not validating input here. Currently, if

GDB will do out of bounds accesses in the
signal_pass/signal_stop/signal_program arrays. It'll probably be a
long while before we add another signal number (and buggy stubs should
just be fixed), but can't hurt to be defensive.

Turning on infrun and lin-lwp debug, we see:

infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x323d4ba7c4
infrun: random signal 20
infrun: stepi/nexti
infrun: stop_stepping
So the inferior got a SIGCHLD (because the fork child exited while
we're doing 'si'), and since that signal is set to "nostop noprint
pass" (by default), it's considered a random signal, so it should not
cause a stop. But, it resulted in an immediate a stop_stepping call
anyway. So the single-step never really finished.
This is a regression caused by:

That made GDB fall through to the

part. However, if we don't have a stepped thread to get back to,
we'll now also fall through to all the "stepping" tests. For line
stepping, that'll turn out okay, as we'll just end up realizing the
thread is still in the stepping range, and needs to be re-stepped.
However, for stepi/nexti, we'll reach:
if (ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_end == 1)
{
/* It is stepi or nexti. We always want to stop stepping after
one instruction. */
if (debug_infrun)
fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog, "infrun: stepi/nexti\n");
ecs->event_thread->control.stop_step = 1;
print_end_stepping_range_reason ();
stop_stepping (ecs);
return;
}
and stop, even though the thread actually made no progress. The fix
is to restore the keep_going call, but put it after the "switch back
to the stepped thread" code, and before the stepping tests.

This patch fixes PR gdb/15995.
The bug here is that gdb's printf command does not flush the output
stream. This makes a printf that is not newline-terminated interleave
incorrectly with other forms of output, such as that generated via a
call to an external program using "shell".
I note that the "output" command already does this flushing.
The fix is to call gdb_flush in printf_command.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.

The first one, dw2_get_real_path from gdb/dwarf2read.c, was actually
making use of OBSTACK_CALLOC which already calls "sizeof" for its third
argument.
The second, download_tracepoint_1 from gdb/gdbserver/tracepoint.c, was
explicitly calling "sizeof" inside another "sizeof".
This patch fixed both functions.

This patch adds documentation for the new GDB/MI commands "-catch-assert"
and "-catch-exception", meant to provide the same functionality as
the "catch assert", "catch exception" and "catch exception unhandled"
CLI commands.
In the GDB Manual, there was already a section for catchpoint comments,
so that seemed like a natural place to document the new commands. But
commands related to a given concept seem to have traditionally been
organized alphabetically, and I didn't want future commands to break
down logical pairing of various commands. For instance, "-catch-load"
and "-catch-unload" are quite "distant" from each other, and it is easy
to imagine a new comment which would alphabetically fall in between,
causing them to be separated. So I introduced subsections to prevent
that from happening.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Add entry documenting the new "-catch-assert" and
"-catch-exception" GDB/MI commands.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Shared Library GDB/MI Catchpoint Commands):
New subsection inside which the "-catch-load" and "-catch-unload"
commands documentation is now placed.

* gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex.exp: Adjusts all "catch ..." tests to
use the appropriate GDB/MI command instead, and verify
the test output.
This patch introduces two new GDB/MI commands implementing the equivalent
of the "catch exception" and "catch assert" GDB/CLI commands.
