'*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;
ecs->random_signal = 0;
stopped_by_random_signal = 0;
So all these ecs->random_signal accesses are dead code.

* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event) <thread hop>: Don't clear or

This function still has comments referring back to when it was a goto
label in wait_for_inferior, eons ago. Looking closer, actually most
of its comments could use a facelift (contents/formatting/typos).
That's what this patch does.

* infrun.c (keep_going): Update comments.
I realized that remote.c is not validating input here. Currently, if
a remote stub sends in an invalid signal number (or put another way,
if a future stub sends a new signal an old GDB doesn't know about),
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.

- The Mach exception/signals escaped the TARGET_ -> GDB_ prefix change
done a while ago, but there's no real reason for that. I grepped
for TARGET_EXC and fixed all found, which unsurprisingly, means
darwin-nat.c needed fixing. I think the change there is as obvious
and trivial as it can get, so I'd be quite surprised if this broke
anything there somehow.
- GDB_SIGNAL_LAST's description string was unnecessarily inconsistent
with the enum name.

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:

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

However, for stepi/nexti, we'll reach:

is to restore the keep_going call, but put it after the "switch back

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.

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.

* 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):

* ada-lang.c (enum ada_exception_catchpoint_kind): Renames
"enum exception_catchpoint_kind". Replace the "ex_" prefix
of all its enumerates with "ada_". Update the rest of this

This patch reworks a bit how the different steps required to insert
an Ada exception catchpoints are organized. They used to be:
1. Call a "decode" function which does:
1.a. Parse the command and its arguments
1.b. Create a SAL & OPS from some of those arguments
2. Call create_ada_exception_catchpoint using SAL as well
as some of the arguments extracted above.
The bulk of the change consists in integrating step (1.b) into
step (2) in order to turn create_ada_exception_catchpoint into
a function whose arguments are all user-level concepts. This
paves the way from a straightforward implementation of the equivalent
commands in the GDB/MI interpreter.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_decode_exception_location): Delete.
(create_ada_exception_catchpoint): Remove arguments "sal",
"addr_string" and "ops". Add argument "ex_kind" instead.
Adjust implementation accordingly, calling ada_exception_sal

"ops", and now returns void. Adjust implementation accordingly.

Consider the following example:
% gdb -q -batch -ex 'source nonexistant-file'
[nothing]
One would have at least expected the debugger to warn about
not finding the file, similar to the error shown when using
a more interactive mode. Eg:
(gdb) source nonexistant-file
nonexistant-file: No such file or directory.
Not raising an error appears to be intentional, presumably in order
to prevent this situation from stoping the execution of a GDB script.
But the lack of at least a warning makes it harder for a user to
diagnose any issue, if the file was expected to be there and readable.
This patch adds a warning in that case:
% gdb -q -batch -ex 'source nonexistant-file'
warning: nonexistant-file: No such file or directory.

* utils.h (perror_warning_with_name): Add declaration.
* utils.c (perror_warning_with_name): New function.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/source-nofile.gdb: New file.
* gdb.base/source.exp: Add two tests verifying the behavior when

The main purpose of this patch is to extract the part of
throw_perror_with_name that computes a string providing the system
error message combined with a prefix string. This will become useful
later on to provide a routine which prints a warning using that
perror_string, rather than throwing an error.

target_read_memory & friends build on top of target_read (thus on top
of the target_xfer machinery), but turn all errors to EIO, an errno
value. I think we'd better convert all these to return a
target_xfer_error too, like target_xfer_partial in a previous patch.
The patch starts by doing that.
(The patch does not add a enum target_xfer_error value for '0'/no
error, and likewise does not change the return type of several of
these functions to enum target_xfer_error, because different functions
return '0' with different semantics.)
I audited the tree for memory_error calls, EIO checks, places where
GDB hardcodes 'errno = EIO', and also for strerror calls. What I
found is that nowadays there's really no need to handle random errno
values, other than the EIOs gdb itself hardcodes. No doubt errno
values would appear in common code back in the day when
target_xfer_memory was the main interface to access memory, but
nowadays, any errno value that deprecated interface could return is
just absorved by default_xfer_partial:
else if (xfered == 0 && errno == 0)
/* "deprecated_xfer_memory" uses 0, cross checked against
ERRNO as one indication of an error. */
return 0;
else
return -1;
There are two places in the code that check for EIO and print "out of
bounds", and defer to strerror for other errors. That's
c-lang.c:c_get_string, and valprint.c.:val_print_string. AFAICT, the
strerror branch can never be reached nowadays, as the only error
possible to get at those points is EIO, given that it's GDB itself
that set that errno value (in target_read_memory, etc.).
breakpoint.c:insert_bp_location always prints the error val as if an
errno, returned by target_insert_breakpoint, with strerr. Now the
error here is either always EIO for mem-break.c targets (again
hardcoded by the target_read_memory/target_write_memory functions), so
this always prints "Input/output error" or similar (depending on
host), or, for remote targets (and probably others), this gem:
Error accessing memory address 0x80200400: Unknown error -1.
This patch makes these 3 places print the exact same error
memory_error prints. This changes output, but I think this is better,
for making memory error output consistent with other commands, and, it
means we have a central place to tweak for memory errors.
E.g., this changes:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x5fc660: Input/output error.
to:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x5fc660
Which I find pretty much acceptable.
Surprisingly, only py-prettyprint.exp had a regression, for needing an
adjustment. I also grepped the testsuite for the old errors, and
found no other hits.
Now that errno values aren't used anywhere in any of these memory
access related routines, I made memory_error itself take a
target_xfer_error instead of an errno. The new
target_xfer_memory_error function added recently is no longer
necessary, and is thus removed.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.
