It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.
I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.
There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

For a reason unknown to me GDB was using -w instead of -Wall for 'compile code'.
The problem is later patch for 'compile printf' really needs some warnings to
be able to catch for example missing format string parameters:
(gdb) compile printf "%d\n"
GCC does not seem to be able to cancel -w (there is nothing like -no-w).
Besides that I think even 'compile code' can benefit from -Wall.
That #ifndef change in print_one_macro() is needed otherwise we get
macro-redefinition warnings for the GCC built-in macros (as -w is no
longer in effect). For example, without the #ifndef/#endif one gets:
compile -r -- void _gdb_expr(){int i = 5;}^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:4:0: warning: "__FILE__" redefined [-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined]^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:5:0: warning: "__LINE__" redefined^M
...
It makes more sense to pick the inferior's version of the macros, hence
#ifndef instead of #undef.
That new testsuite XFAIL is there as if one changes the struct definition to be
compliant with cv-qualifiers (to prevent the warnings):
struct struct_type {
- struct struct_type *selffield;
+ volatile struct struct_type *selffield;
only then GCC/GDB will hit the crash, described in that GDB PR 18202.

In Ada, index types of arrays can be enumeration types, and enumeration
types can be non-contiguous. In which case the address of elements is
not given by the value of the index, but by its position in the enumeration
type.
In other words, in this example:
type Color is (Blue, Red);
for Color use (Blue => 8, Red => 12, Green => 16);
type A is array (Color) of Integer;
type B is array (1 .. 3) of Integer;
Arrays of type A and B will have the same layout in memory, even if
the enumeration Color has a hole in its set of integer value.
Since recently support for such a feature was in ada-lang.c, where the
array was casted to a regular continuous index range. We were losing
the information of index type. And this was not quite working for
subranges in variable-length fields; their bounds are expressed using
the integer value of the bounds, not its position in the enumeration,
and there was some confusion all over ada-lang.c as to whether we had
the position or the integer value was used for indexes.
The idea behind this patch is to clean this up by keeping the real
representation of these array index types and bounds when representing
the value, and only use the position when accessing the elements or
computing the length. This first patch fixes the printing of such
an array.
To the best of my knowledge, this feature only exists in Ada so it
should only affect this language.

In the case of non bit-packed arrays, GNAT does not generate its

the so-called "implementation type" with a P suffix. This
implementation type shall be skipped when looking for other
descriptive types such as XA encodings for variable-length
fields.
Note also that there may be an intermediate typedef between the
implementation type and its XA description. It shall be skipped
as well.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/byte_packed_arr: New testcase.
Consider the following declarations:
type Signed_Small is new Integer range - (2 ** 5) .. (2 ** 5 - 1);
type Signed_Simple_Array is array (1 .. 4) of Signed_Small;
pragma Pack (Signed_Simple_Array);
SSA : Signed_Simple_Array := (-1, 2, -3, 4);
GDB currently print its value incorrectly for the elements that
are negative:
(gdb) print ssa
$1 = (65535, 2, 1048573, 4)
(gdb) print ssa(1)
$2 = 65535
(gdb) print ssa(2)
$3 = 2
(gdb) print ssa(3)
$4 = 1048573
(gdb) print ssa(4)
$5 = 4
What happens is that the sign-extension is not working because
we're trying to do left shift with a negative count. In
ada_value_primitive_packed_val, we have a loop which populates
the extra bits of the target (unpacked) value, after extraction
of the data from the original (packed) value:
while (ntarg > 0)
{
accum |= sign << accumSize;
unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
!!! -> accumSize -= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
accum >>= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
ntarg -= 1;
targ += delta;
}
At each iteration, accumSize gets decremented by HOST_CHAR_BIT,
which can easily cause it to become negative, particularly on
little endian targets, where accumSize is at most HOST_CHAR_BIT - 1.
This causes us to perform a left-shift operation with a negative
accumSize at the next loop iteration, which is undefined, and
acutally does not produce the effect we wanted (value left untouched)
when the code is compiled with GCC.
This patch fixes the issue by simply setting accumSize to zero
if negative.

* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Make sure
accumSize is never negative.

This patch is a comprehensive fix for PR 17820 which reports that
using "set history size unlimited" inside one's gdbinit file doesn't
really work.
There are three small changes in this patch. The most important change
this patch makes is to decode the argument of the "size" subcommand
using add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd() instead of using
add_setshow_uinteger_cmd(). The new decoder takes an int * and maps
unlimited to -1 whereas the old decoder takes an unsigned int * and maps
unlimited to UINT_MAX. Using the new decoder simplifies our handling of
unlimited and makes it easier to interface with readline which itself
expects a signed-int history size.
The second change is the factoring of the [stifle|unstifle]_history logic
into a common function which is now used by both init_history() and
set_history_size_command(). This is technically the change that fixes
the PR itself.
Thirdly, this patch initializes history_size_setshow_var to -2 to mean
that the variable has not been set yet. Now init_history() tests for -2
instead of 0 to determine whether to give the variable a default value.
This means that having "set history size 0" in one's gdbinit file will
actually keep the history size at 0 and not reset it to 256.

In my last commit to make gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp be more robust
regarding using arrays in the global namespace, I cleared the
"coredump_var_addr" array like this:
set coredump_var_addr ""
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
This causes DejaGNU to complain because the variable is first set as
non-array, and the used as an array. The correct way to do this is to
unset the variable using:
unset -nocomplain coredump_var_addr
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
The "-nocomplain" part is necessary because if the variable doesn't
exist "unset" will not error.

Hi,
We see some fails in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp when we do remote
gdbserver testing, like what I did for arm/aarch64 linux testing or
run it with board file remote-gdbserver-on-localhost
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost coredump-filter.exp'
we find that this line in the test doesn't work as expected,
remote_exec target "sh -c \"echo $filter_flag > /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter\""
although such pattern has been used in gdb testsuite somewhere else,
but the special thing here is that we redirect the output to
/proc/$ipid/coredump_filter on the remote target. DejaGNU will
redirect the output from the remote target to local, and looks tcl
gets confused by these two redirection.
After trying pass different parameters to remote_exec and hacking
remote_exec/rsh_exec/local_exec, I got no success, I decide
to give up, and try to update /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter by the c
code directly.
This patch adds a c function set_coredump_filter to update
coredump_filter, and GDB calls it.

This patch improves the handling of out-of-line functions nested
inside functions that have been inlined.
Consider for instance a situation where function Foo_O224_021
has a function Child1 declared in it, which itself has a function
Child2 nested inside Child1. After compiling the program with
optimization on, Child1 gets inlined, but not Child2.
After inserting a breakpoint on Child2, and running the program
until reaching that breakpoint, we get the following backtrace:
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) break foo_o224_021.child1.child2
(gdb) run
[...]
Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
28 Child1;
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000000000402400 in foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
#1 0x00000000004027a4 in foo_o224_021.child1 () at foo_o224_021.adb:23
#2 0x00000000004027a4 in foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
GDB reports the wrong function name for frame #0. We also get the same
kind of error in the "Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021 () [...]" message.
In both cases, the function name should be foo_o224_021.child1.child2,
and the parameters should be "s=...".
What happens is that the inlined frame handling does not handle well
the case where an inlined function is calling an out-of-line function
which was declared inside the inlined function's scope.
In particular, looking first at the inlined-frame sniffer when applying
to frame #0:
/* Calculate DEPTH, the number of inlined functions at this
location. */
depth = 0;
cur_block = frame_block;
while (BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block))
{
if (block_inlined_p (cur_block))
depth++;
cur_block = BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block);
}
What happens is that cur_block starts as the block associated
to child2, which is not inlined. We shoud be stopping here, but
instead, we keep walking the superblock chain, which takes us
all the way to Foo_O224_021's block, via Child2's block. And
since Child1 was inlined, we end up with a depth count of 1,
wrongly making GDB think that frame #0 is an inlined frame.
Same kind of issue inside skip_inline_frames.
The fix is to stop checking for inlined frames as soon as we see
a block corresponding to a function which is not inlined. This is
the behavior we now obtain:
(gdb) run
[...]
Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021.child1.child2 (s=...) at foo_o224_021.adb:9

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/out_of_line_in_inlined.exp: Add run and "bt" tests.
Consider the following code, which defines a function, Child2,
which is itself nested inside Child1:
procedure Foo_O224_021 is
O1 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
procedure Child1 is
O2 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
function Child2 (S : String) return Boolean is -- STOP
begin
for C of S loop
Do_Nothing (C);
if C = 'o' then
return True;
end if;
end loop;
return False;
end Child2;
R : Boolean;
begin
R := Child2 ("Foo");
R := Child2 ("Bar");
R := Child2 ("Foobar");
end Child1;
begin
Child1;
end Foo_O224_021;
On x86_64-linux, when compiled at -O2, GDB is unable to insert
a breakpoint on Child2:
% gnatmake -g -O2 foo_o224_021
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) b child2
Function "child2" not defined.
(gdb) b foo_o224_021.child1.child2
Function "foo_o224_021.child1.child2" not defined.
The problem is caused by the fact that GDB did not create a symbol
for Child2, and this, in turn, is caused by the fact that the compiler
decided to inline Child1, but not Child2. The DWARF debugging info
first provides an abstract instance tree for Child1...
<3><1b7b>: Abbrev Number: 29 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x23f8): foo_o224_021__child1
<1b82> DW_AT_inline : 1 (inlined)
<1b83> DW_AT_sibling : <0x1c01>
... where that subprogram is given the DW_AT_inline attribute.
Inside that function there is a lexical block which has no PC
range (corresponding to the fact that this is the abstract tree):
<4><1b87>: Abbrev Number: 30 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
... inside which our subprogram Child2 is described:
<5><1b92>: Abbrev Number: 32 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b93> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2452): foo_o224_021__child1__child2
<1b99> DW_AT_type : <0x1ab1>
<1b9d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x402300
<1ba5> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x57
[...]
Then, later on, we get the concrete instance tree, starting at:
<3><1c5e>: Abbrev Number: 41 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<1c5f> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b7b>
<1c63> DW_AT_entry_pc : 0x4025fd
<1c6b> DW_AT_ranges : 0x150
... which refers to Child1. One of that inlined subroutine children
is the concrete instance of the empty lexical block we saw above
(in the abstract instance tree), which gives the actual address
range for this inlined instance:
<5><1c7a>: Abbrev Number: 43 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
<1c7b> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b87>
<1c7f> DW_AT_ranges : 0x180
This is the DIE which provides the context inside which we can
record Child2. But unfortunately, GDB does not take the abstract
origin into account when handling lexical blocks, causing it
to miss the fact that this block contains some symbols described
in the abstract instance tree. This is the first half of this patch:
modifying GDB to follow DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes for
lexical blocks.
But this not enough to fix the issue, as we're still unable to
break on Child2 with just that change. The second issue can be
traced to the way inherit_abstract_dies determines the list of
DIEs to inherit from. For that, it iterates over all the DIEs in
the concrete instance tree, and finds the list of DIEs from the
abstract instance tree that are not referenced from the concrete
instance tree. As it happens, there is one type of DIE in the
concrete instance tree which does reference Child2's DIE, but
in fact does otherwise define a concrete instance of the reference
DIE; that's (where <0x1b92> is Child2's DIE):
<6><1d3c>: Abbrev Number: 35 (DW_TAG_GNU_call_site)
<1d3d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4026a4
<1d45> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b92>
So, the second part of the patch is to modify inherit_abstract_dies
to ignore DW_TAG_GNU_call_site DIEs when iterating over the concrete
instance tree.
This patch also includes a testcase which can be used to reproduce
the issue. Unfortunately, for it to actually pass, a smal patch in
GCC is also necessary to make sure that GCC provides lexical blocks'
DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes from the concrete tree back to
the abstract tree. We hope to be able to submit and integrate that
patch in the GCC tree soon. Meanwhile, a setup_xfail has been added.

Because target_ops interface can_use_hardware_watchpoint doesn't
pass enough information to the target backend.
Note that if I don't "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1" in
remote testing, this test passes without fails. However without
"set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1", many other watchpoint
tests fail.
This patch is to add a check to skip_hw_watchpoint_multi_tests
for rwatch and awatch. We can add such check for watch as well,
but GDB is able to switch to software watchpoint if HW resource
isn't available, it doesn't cause any fail, I decide not to skip.

Note that the program stops in __syscall_pause, but its symbol is

__syscall_pause is a tail call in __libc_pause, so it returns to main

looks GDB does nothing wrong here. I looked back at the test case
gdb.base/relativedebug.exp, which was added
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-10/msg00305.html
This test was indented to test the problem that "backtraces no longer
display some libc functions" after separate debug info is installed.
IOW, it makes few sense to test against libc which doesn't have debug
info at all, such as my case.
This patch is to tweak the test case to catch the output of
"info shared", if "(*)" is found for libc.so, which means libc doesn't
have debug info, then skip the test.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-04-30 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/relativedebug.exp: Invoke gdb command
"info sharedlibrary", and if libc.so doesn't have debug info,
skip the test.
There are targets GDB thinks support hardware watchpoints, but in reality they
don't. Though it may seem that hardware watchpoint creation was successful,
the actual insertion of such watchpoint will fail when GDB moves the inferior.

We can avoid these errors/FAILs by checking the board data and switching to
software watchpoints if the board does not support hardware watchpoints.

* gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: Switch to software watchpoints if

This is another case of the testcase not handling memory write errors that
happen on some targets (QEMU) when GDB attempts to modify an address that
should contain a breakpoint, for example.

happening. It also adds a foreach loop to avoid duplication of code

Consider the following declarations:
type Int_Access is access Integer;
type Record_Type is record
IA : Int_Access;
end record;
R : Record_Type;
Printing the type name of "R.IA" yields:
(gdb) whatis r.ia
type = access integer
It should be:
(gdb) whatis r.ia
type = bar.int_access
Looking at the debugging info, field "r.ia" is defined as
a typedef which has the name of the field type:
.uleb128 0x3 # (DIE (0x4e) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "bar__int_access"
.long 0x8b # DW_AT_type
... with the typedef's target type being an anonymous pointer
type:
.uleb128 0x7 # (DIE (0x8b) DW_TAG_pointer_type)
.byte 0x8 # DW_AT_byte_size
.long 0x91 # DW_AT_type
What happens here is that a couple of function in ada-lang.c
always start by stripping all typedef layers when handling
struct fields, with the effect of making us lose the type name
in this case.
We did not understand this at the time the code was written,
but typedefs should be stripped only when we know we do not
need them. So this patch, adjust the code to avoid the stripping
while handling the fields, and adds it back in the lone place
which handles the result of processing and didn't know how to
handle typedefs struct fields yet.

Date: Mon Apr 13 02:40:08 2015 -0400
Rename variable "addr" to "coredump_var_addr" in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp
Pedro pointed out that this fix was not complete, because the
testsuite could be run several times in a row (for example), which
means that it is not enough to just make the variable name unique: it
also needs to be cleared out if it is global.
This commit does that. It is actually just a commit made to make
things totally correct; this specific test does not fail if you run it
several times in a row.

Currently, against gdbserver, interrupt.exp occasionaly fails like
this:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
The problem is that we see gdbserver exiting before we match gdb's
output:
expect: does "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n" (spawn_id exp8) match regular expression "end of file"? Gate "end of file"? gate=no
expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp8"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n"
Fix this by removing $inferior_spawn_id from the set of spawn ids
expect is watching as soon as we see the "end of file" string out of
the inferior spawn id, using an indirect spawn id list.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver (both target remote
and extended-remote).
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Use an indirect spawn id list holding
$inferior_spawn_id instead of $inferior_spawn_id directly. On
"end of file", remove $inferior_spawn_id from the indirect list.
To avoid confusion between "end of file" string matching and eof
matching, as in process exit.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Rename saw_eof to saw_end_of_file.
Since silent handling of eof is usually the wrong thing to do, this
patch makes gdb_test_multiple handle it for all $any_spawn_id.
Currently, against gdbserver, interrupt.exp occasionaly fails like
this:
FAIL: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
gdb.log with expect debug output enabled shows:
expect: does "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n" (spawn_id exp8) match regular expression "end of file"? Gate "end of file"? gate=no
expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp8"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n"
FAIL: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
Note "expect: read eof" for spawn_id=exp8. exp8 is
inferior_spawn_id/gdbserver_spawn_id. That means
expect/gdb_test_multiple saw gdbserver exit before we got the expected
gdb output. Since there's no explicit pattern for "eof", expect (and
thus gdb_test_multiple) just returns.
After this commit, we get instead:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
Note that before we still got an FAIL because $saw_inferior_exit is 0
when we get to:
gdb_assert { $saw_eof && $saw_inferior_exit } $msg
Fixing the fail (now unresolved) will be the subject of a separate
patch.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

Problem reported as PR pascal/17815
Part 1/3: Remember the case pattern that allowed finding a field of this.
File gdb/p-exp.y modified
This is the fix in the pascal parser (p-exp.y),

case insensitively, but not fields of this,
inside a class or object method.
Part 2/3: Add "class" option for pascal compiler
File gdb/testsuite/lib/pascal.exp
This part of the patch series is unchanged.
It adds class option to pascal compiler
which adds the required command line option to
accept pascal class types.

New file: gdb/testsuite/gdb.pascal/case-insensitive-symbols.pas
Here is an updated version of this test, using Pedro's suggestions.
Test to check that PR 17815 is fixed.
This commit fixes three gdb.base/attach.exp failures when using
extended remote targets. The failures occurred because GDB now
locates and loads files when attaching on remote targets if the
remote target supports qXfer:exec-file:read; the filenames were
shown but with "target:" prefixes which the test has been updated
to handle.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/attach.exp: Fix three extended remote failures.
This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument
try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt
to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main
executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately.
With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a
"target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot"
or "file" commands are required, e.g.
bash$ gdb -q
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166
stdin/stdout redirected
Remote debugging using stdio
Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash...
One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test
checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main
executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main
executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit
this new behavior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec.
If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as
the main executable if no main executable is open already.
All callers updated.
* NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and
retrieval of executable + files from remote targets.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Connecting to a Remote Target): Mention that
GDB can access program files from remote targets that support
qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing
the main executable over the remote protocol.

These tests do something like this:
#0 - start gdb/gdbserver normally
#1 - setup some things in the debug session
#2 - disconnect from gdbserver
#3 - restart gdb
#4 - reconnect to gdbserver
The problem is that the native-extended-gdbserver board always spawns
a new gdbserver instance in #3 (and has gdb connect to that). So when
the test gets to #4, it connects to that new instance instead of the
old one:

I see many fails in gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp on arm-linux target,
started from this
print foo.three_ptr.all^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x107c8^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp: print foo.three_ptr.all
print foo.three_ptr.all(1)^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x107c8
It turns out that ":$ptr_size" is used incorrectly.
array_ptr_label: DW_TAG_pointer_type {
{DW_AT_byte_size :$ptr_size }
^^^^^^^^^^
{DW_AT_type :$array_label}
}
Since the FORM isn't given, and it starts with the ":", it is regarded
as a label reference by dwarf assembler. The generated asm file on
x86_64 is
.uleb128 6 /* Abbrev (DW_TAG_pointer_type) */
.4byte 8 - .Lcu1_begin <----- WRONG
.4byte .Llabel2 - .Lcu1_begin
Looks .Lcu1_begin is 0 on x86_64 and that is why this test passes on
x86_64. On arm, .Lcu1_begin is an address somewhere, and the value
of DW_AT_byte_size is a very large number, so memory read request
of such large length failed.
This patch is to remove ":" and set the form explicitly. The generated
asm file on x86_64 becomes
.uleb128 6 /* Abbrev (DW_TAG_pointer_type) */
.byte 8
.4byte .Llabel2 - .Lcu1_begin

* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp (assemble): Use $ptr_size instead
of ":$ptr_size" and set its form explicitly.
I see the following two timeout fails on pandaboard (arm-linux target),
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: -location watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: regular watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
In this test, more than one watchpoint is used, so the following
watchpoint requests fall back to software watchpoint, so that GDB
will single step all the way and it is very slow.
This patch is to copy the fix from
[PATCH] GDB/testsuite: Correct gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp timeout tweak
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00716.html
I find the left-over of this patch review is to factor out code into
a procedure, so I do that in this patch.
Re-run tests watch-bitfields.exp, watchpoint-solib.exp, sigall-reverse.exp,
and until-precsave.exp on pandaboard, no regression.

This testcase does not work as expected in QEMU (aarch64 QEMU in my case). It
fails when trying to manually write the breakpoint instruction to a certain
PC address.

The following patch prevents a number of failures by detecting this and bailing out in case the target has such a restriction. Writing to .text from within the program isn't any better. It just leads to a SIGSEGV.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-13 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp (test): Handle the case of being unable
to write to the .text section.
This testcase seems to assume the target is running Linux, so bare metal,
simulators and other debugging stubs running different OS' will have a
hard time executing some of the commands the testcase issues.
Even restricting the testcase to Linux systems (which the patch below does),
there are still problems with, say, QEMU not providing PID information when
"info inferior" is issued. As a consequence, the subsequent tests will either
fail or will not make much sense.
The attached patch checks if PID information is available. If not, it just
bails out and avoids running into a number of failures.

I see the error when I run gdb-sigterm.exp with native-gdbserver

In gdb-sigterm.exp, SIGTERM is sent to GDB and it exits. However,
Dejagnu or tcl doesn't know this.
This patch is to catch the exception, but error messages are still
shown in the console and gdb.log. In order to avoid this, we also
replace gdb_expect with expect.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-04-13 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdb_exit): Catch exception
and use expect instead of gdb_expect.
This commit renames the global array variable "addr" to an unique name
"coredump_var_addr" in the test gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp. This is
needed because global arrays can have name conflicts between tests.
For example, this specific test was conflicting with dmsym.exp,
causing errors like:
ERROR: tcl error sourcing ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dmsym.exp.
ERROR: can't set "addr": variable is array
while executing
"set addr "0x\[0-9a-zA-Z\]+""
