This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

longer a pointer to volatile exception. Now an exception value.

(exceptions_state_mc): No longer pop the catcher here.
(exceptions_state_mc_catch): New function.
(throw_exception): Adjust.

all parameters.
(exceptions_state_mc_catch): Declare.
(TRY_CATCH): Rename to ...
(TRY): ... this. Remove EXCEPTION and MASK parameters.

Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
on Fedora Rawhide (==22) i686 using --with-python=/usr/bin/python3 one gets:
./python/py-value.c:1696:3: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror]
valpy_hash, /*tp_hash*/
^
./python/py-value.c:1696:3: error: (near initialization for ‘value_object_type.tp_hash’) [-Werror]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Makefile:2628: recipe for target 'py-value.o' failed
This is because in Python 2 tp_hash was:
typedef long (*hashfunc)(PyObject *);
while in Python 3 tp_hash is:
typedef Py_hash_t (*hashfunc)(PyObject *);
Py_hash_t is int for 32-bit hosts and long for 64-bit hosts. While on 32-bit
hosts sizeof(long)==sizeof(int) still the hashfunc type is formally
incompatible. As this patch should have no compiled code change it is not
really necessary for gdb-7.9, it would fix there just this non-fatal
compilation warning:
./python/py-value.c:1696:3: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
valpy_hash, /*tp_hash*/
^
./python/py-value.c:1696:3: warning: (near initialization for ‘value_object_type.tp_hash’)

* python/python-internal.h (Py_hash_t): Define it for Python <3.2.
* python/py-value.c (valpy_fetch_lazy): Use it. Remove cast to the
return type.
This is done to avoid errors when compiled with -Werror against Python-2.4
which did not have the const qualifier for the second argument of these
functions.
gdb/
* python/python-internal.h (gdb_PyObject_GetAttrString)
(gdb_PyObject_HasAttrString): New inline function definitions.
* py-value.c (get_field_flag): Remove the now unnecessary cast to
char * of the second argument to PyObject_GetAttrString.
gdb.Value.dynamic_type is supposed to work for reference and pointer
values. However, the value object in the function 'valpy_get_dynamic_type'
was being dereferenced using 'value_ind' irrespective of the value type
being TYPE_CODE_PTR or TYPE_CODE_REF. This patch fixes that to use
'coerce_ref' for TYPE_CODE_REF values.
ChangeLog:
* python/py-value.c (valpy_get_dynamic_type): Use coerce_ref to
dereference TYPE_CODE_REF values.
testsuite/
* gdb.python/py-value.c: Improve test case.
* gdb.python/py-value.exp: Add new test.
This fixes a build failure against Python 2.4 by casting away "const"
on the second argument to PyObject_GetAttrString. Similar casts to
support Python 2.4 were already present in a number of other places.
