Currently, we always re-set all locations of all breakpoints. This
commit makes us re-set only locations of the current program space.
If we loaded symbols to a program space (e.g., "file" command or some
shared library was loaded), GDB must run through all breakpoints and
determine if any new locations need to be added to the breakpoint.
However, there's no reason to recreate locations for _other_ program
spaces, as those haven't changed.
Similarly, when we create a new inferior, through e.g., a fork, GDB
must run through all breakpoints and determine if any new locations
need to be added to the breakpoint. There's no reason to destroy the
locations of the parent inferior and other inferiors. We know those
won't change.
In addition to being inneficient, resetting breakpoints of inferiors
that are currently running is problematic, because:
- some targets can't read memory while the inferior is running.
- the inferior might exit while we're re-setting its breakpoints,
which may confuse prologue skipping.
I went through all the places where we call breakpoint_re_set, and it
seems to me that all can be changed to only re-set locations of the
current program space.
The patch that reversed threads order in "info threads" etc. happened
to make gdb.threads/fork-plus-thread.exp expose this problem when
testing on x86/-m32. The problem was latent and masked out by chance
by the code-cache:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00213.html
Tested on x86-64 F20, native (-m64/-m32) and extended-remote
gdbserver.
Fixes the regression discussed in the url above with --target_board=unix/-m32:
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left (timeout)
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left (the program exited)
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left

This commit changes GDB like this:
- Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
+ Thread 1 "main" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
- Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
+ Thread 3 "bar" hit Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
... once the program goes multi-threaded. Until GDB sees a second
thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the
discussion back in 2012:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html
This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit
a breakpoint or received a signal:

The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure
things out.
It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print
nostop":
...
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
...
The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads
getting the SIGUSR1 signal.
I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in
"Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1"
but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint"
uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information. It's
also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the
program goes multi-threaded this way.

BuildBot reminded me that "explicit" is a reserved keyword in C++.
This patch simply renames all the (illegal) uses of "explicit". This should
fix the build errors with --enable-build-with-cxx bots.

This patch add support for explicit locations and switches many linespec
locations to this new location type. This patch also converts all
linespec locations entered by the user to an explicit representation
internally (thus bypassing the linespec parser when resetting the
breakpoint).
This patch does not introduce any user-visible changes.

This patch converts the code base to use the new struct event_location
API being introduced. This patch preserves the current functionality and
adds no new features.
The "big picture" API usage introduced by this patch may be illustrated
with a simple exmaple. Where previously developers would write:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
create_breakpoint (..., arg, ...);
...
}
one now uses:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
struct event_locaiton *location;
struct cleanup *back_to;
location = string_to_event_locaiton (&arg, ...);
back_to = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
create_breakpoint (..., location, ...);
do_cleanups (back_to);
}
Linespec-decoding functions (now called location-decoding) such as
decode_line_full no longer skip argument pointers over processed input.
That functionality has been moved into string_to_event_location as
demonstrated above.

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++.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
This normalizes some exception catch blocks that check for ex.reason
to look like this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
...
}
~~~
This is a preparation step for running a script that converts all
TRY_CATCH uses to look like this instead:
~~~
TRY
{
...
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
END_CATCH
~~~
The motivation for that change is being able to reimplent TRY/CATCH in
terms of C++ try/catch.
This commit makes it so that:
- no condition other than ex.reason < 0 is checked in the if
predicate
- there's no "else" block to check whether no exception was caught
- there's no code between the TRY_CATCH (TRY) block and the
'if (ex.reason < 0)' block (CATCH).
- the exception object is no longer referred to outside the if/catch
block. Note the local volatile exception objects that are
currently defined inside functions that use TRY_CATCH will
disappear. In cases it's more convenient to still refer to the
exception outside the catch block, a new non-volatile local is
added and copy to that object is made within the catch block.
The following patches should make this all clearer.

This patch renames symbols that happen to have names which are
reserved keywords in C++.
Most of this was generated with Tromey's cxx-conversion.el script.
Some places where later hand massaged a bit, to fix formatting, etc.
And this was rebased several times meanwhile, along with re-running
the script, so re-running the script from scratch probably does not
result in the exact same output. I don't think that matters anyway.

-- Initial message by Tom Tromey:
While testing on AIX, I happened to notice an internal error coming
from parse_probes. This happens because there are no probes defined
on this platform. This patch fixes the problem by changing an assert
into an ordinary error, and then changing the relevant caller to cope.
This fixes a few tests on AIX; also regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
-- Followup by Sergio Durigan Junior:
By reading the patch (and the original code), I found it a little bit
obscure, so I took the liberty to try to improve it. Here's the patch.
Could you please take a look and see if it works on AIX (and also if you
like the approach)?

* probe.c (parse_probes): Turn assert into an ordinary error.
* break-catch-throw.c (re_set_exception_catchpoint): Ignore
exceptions when parsing probes. Rearrange the code for clarity.
This changes the probes to be independent of the program space.
After this, when a probe's address is needed, it is determined by
applying offsets at the point of use.
This introduces a bound_probe object, similar to bound minimal
symbols. Objects of this type are used when it's necessary to pass a
probe and its corresponding objfile.
This removes the backlink from probe to objfile, which was primarily
used to fetch the architecture to use.
This adds a get_probe_address function which calls a probe method to
compute the probe's relocated address. Similarly, it adds an objfile
parameter to the semaphore methods so they can do the relocation
properly as well.

This patch sanitizes the access to gdbarch made by various functions of
the SDT probe API. Before this patch, gdbarch was being accessed via
the probe's objfile; however, this proved to cause a bug on 32-bit ARM
targets because during the parsing of the probe's arguments the code
needed to access some pseudo-registers of the architecture, and this
information is not fully correct on the objfile's gdbarch.
Basically, the approach taken was to instead pass the current/selected
frame to the parsing and evaluation functions, so that they can extract
the gdbarch directly from the frame. It solved the ARM bug reported
above, and also contributed to make the API cleaner.
Tested on x86_64 and 32-bit ARM.

While looking into the probe API, it seemed to me that there were a
number of methods in sym_probe_fns that were not needed. This patch
removes them.
Specifically, it seems to me that sym_probe_fns ought to be concerned
with the API for constructing the probes. Any method relating to some
aspect of an individual probe can be handled via the probe's own
vtable. That is, the double indirection here doesn't seem useful --
it certainly isn't in fact used, but also I couldn't think of a
potential use.
