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++.

Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
This commit introduces a new inline common function "startswith"
which takes two string arguments and returns nonzero if the first
string starts with the second. It also updates the 295 places
where this logic was written out longhand to use the new function.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/common-utils.h (startswith): New inline function.
All places where this logic was used updated to use the above.
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.

When ada-lang.c:ada_lookup_symbol_list_worker finds a match in
the symbol cache, it caches the result again, which is unecessary.
This patch fixes the code to avoid that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/17856:
* ada-lang.c (ada_lookup_symbol_list_worker): Do not re-cache
results found in the cache.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
The Ada symbol cache has been designed to have one instance of that
of that cache per program space, and for each instance to be created
on-demand. ada_get_symbol_cache is the function responsible for both
lookup and creation on demand.
Unfortunately, ada_get_symbol_cache forgot to store the reference
to newly created caches, thus causing it to:
- Leak old caches;
- Allocate a new cache each time the cache is being searched or
a new entry is to be inserted.
This patch fixes the issue by avoiding the use of the local variable,
which indirectly allowed the bug to happen. We manipulate the reference
in the program-space data instead.

This commit adds a new callback parameter, "expansion_notify", to the

Consider the following code:
type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
type Object (N : Integer) is record
Data : Table (1 .. N);
end record;
My_Object : Object := (N => 3, Data => (3, 5, 8));
Trying to print the range and length of the My_Object.Data array yields:
(gdb) print my_object.data'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 0
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 0
The first one is correct, and that is thanks to the fact that
the lower bound is statically known. However, for the upper
bound, and consequently the array's length, the values are incorrect.
It should be:
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 3
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 3
What happens here is that ada_array_bound_from_type sees that
our array has a parallel "___XA" type, and therefore tries to
use it. In particular, it described our array's index type as:
[...]___XDLU_1__n, which means lower bound = 1, and upper bound
is value of "n". Unfortunately, ada_array_bound_from_type does
not have access to the discriminant, and is therefore unable to
compute the bound correctly.
Fortunately, at this stage, the bound has already been computed
a while ago, and therefore doesn't need to be re-computed here.
This patch fixes the issue by ignoring that ___XA type if the array
is marked as already fixed.
This also fixes the same issue with packed arrays.

* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound_from_type): Ignore array's parallel

Trying to print the value of a string whose size is not known at
compile-time before it gets assigned a value can lead to the following
internal error:
(gdb) p my_str
$1 =
/[...]/utils.c:1089: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
What happens is that my_str is described as a reference to an array
type whose bounds are dynamic. During the read of that variable's
value (in default_read_var_value), we end up resolving dynamic types
which, for reference types, makes us also resolve the target of that
reference type. This means we resolve our variable to a reference
to an array whose bounds are undefined, and unfortunately very far
appart.
So, when we pass that value to ada-valprint, and in particular to
da_val_print_ref, we eventually try to allocate too large of a buffer
corresponding to the (bogus) size of our array, hence the internal
error.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a size_check before trying
to print the dereferenced value. To perform this check, a function
that was previously specific to ada-lang.c (check_size) gets
exported, and renamed to something less prone to name collisions
(ada_ensure_varsize_limit).

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/str_uninit: New testcase.
This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

Currently "symtabs" in gdb are stored as a single linked list of
struct symtab that contains both symbol symtabs (the blockvectors)
and file symtabs (the linetables).
This has led to confusion, bugs, and performance issues.
This patch is conceptually very simple: split struct symtab into
two pieces: one part containing things common across the entire
compilation unit, and one part containing things specific to each
source file.
Example.
For the case of a program built out of these files:
foo.c
foo1.h
foo2.h
bar.c
foo1.h
bar.h
Today we have a single list of struct symtabs:
objfile -> foo.c -> foo1.h -> foo2.h -> bar.c -> foo1.h -> bar.h -> NULL
where "->" means the "next" pointer in struct symtab.
With this patch, that turns into:
objfile -> foo.c(cu) -> bar.c(cu) -> NULL
| |
v v
foo.c bar.c
| |
v v
foo1.h foo1.h
| |
v v
foo2.h bar.h
| |
v v
NULL NULL
where "foo.c(cu)" and "bar.c(cu)" are struct compunit_symtab objects,
and the files foo.c, etc. are struct symtab objects.
So now, for example, when we want to iterate over all blockvectors
we can now just iterate over the compunit_symtab list.
Plus a lot of the data that was either unused or replicated for each
symtab in a compilation unit now lives in struct compunit_symtab.
E.g., the objfile pointer, the producer string, etc.
I thought of moving "language" out of struct symtab but there is
logic to try to compute the language based on previously seen files,
and I think that's best left as is for now.
With my standard monster benchmark with -readnow (which I can't actually
do, but based on my calculations), whereas today the list requires
77MB to store all the struct symtabs, it now only requires 37MB.
A modest space savings given the gigabytes needed for all the debug info,
etc. Still, it's nice. Plus, whereas today we create a copy of dirname
for each source file symtab in a compilation unit, we now only create one
for the compunit.
So this patch is basically just a data structure reorg,
I don't expect significant performance improvements from it.
Notes:
1) A followup patch can do a similar split for struct partial_symtab.
I have left that until after I get the changes I want in to
better utilize .gdb_index (it may affect how we do partial syms).
2) Another followup patch *could* rename struct symtab.
The term "symtab" is ambiguous and has been a source of confusion.
In this patch I'm leaving it alone, calling it the "historical" name
of "filetabs", which is what they are now: just the file-name + line-table.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/maint.exp: Update expected output.
Jan noticed that gdb.ada/arrayidx.exp regressed after I applied
the following patch:
commit 8908fca577
Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>
Date: Sat Sep 27 09:09:34 2014 -0700
Subject: [Ada] Ignore __XA types when redundant.
What happens is that we're trying to print the value of
r_two_three, which is defined as follow:
type Index is (One, Two, Three);
type RTable is array (Index range Two .. Three) of Integer;
R_Two_Three : RTable := (2, 3);
The expected output is:
(gdb) p r_two_three
$1 = (two => 2, 3)
But after the patch above was applied, with the program program
compiled using gcc-gnat-4.9.2-1.fc21.x86_64 (x86_64-linux),
the output becomes:
(gdb) p r_two_three
$1 = (2, 3)
(the name of the first bound is missing). The problem comes from
the fact that the compiler described the array's index type as
a plain base type, instead of as a subrange of the enumerated type.
More particularly, this is what gcc-gnat-4.9.2-1.fc21.x86_64
generated:
<3><7ce>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<7cf> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xc13): p__rtable
[...]
<7d7> DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type: <0x98a>
[...]
<4><7df>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<7e0> DW_AT_type : <0xa79>
where DIE 0xa79 is:
<1><a79>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<a7a> DW_AT_byte_size : 8
<a7b> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<a7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xfc): sizetype
The actual array subrange type can be found in the array's
parallel XA type (the DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type).
The recent commit correctly found that that bounds taken from
the descriptive type are the same as bounds of our array's index
type. But it failed to notice that ignoring this descriptive
type would make us lose the actual array index type, making us
think that we're printing an array indexed by integers.
I hadn't seen that problem, because the compiler I used produced
debugging info where the array's index type is correctly described:
<3><79f>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<7a0> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb3d): p__rtable
[...]
<4><7b0>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<7b1> DW_AT_type : <0x9b2>
<7b5> DW_AT_upper_bound : 2
... where DIE 0x9b2 leads us to ...
<3><9b2>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<9b8> DW_AT_type : <0x962>
<2><962>: Abbrev Number: 22 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<963> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb34): p__index
[...]
This patch fixes the issue by also making sure that the subtype
of the original range type does match the subtype found in the
descriptive type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_is_redundant_range_encoding): Return 0
if the TYPE_CODE of range_type's base type does not match
the TYPE_CODE of encoding_type's base type.
Using the example in gdb.ada/complete.exp, the following command
on x86_64-windows returns one unwanted completion choice :
(gdb) complete p pck
p <pck_E>>
[all following completions entries snipped, all expected]
I tracked down this suprising entry to a minimal symbol whose name
is ".refptr.pck_E". The problem occurs while trying to see if
this symbol matches "pck" when doing wild-matching as we are doing
here:
/* Second: Try wild matching... */
if (!match && wild_match_p)
{
/* Since we are doing wild matching, this means that TEXT
may represent an unqualified symbol name. We therefore must
also compare TEXT against the unqualified name of the symbol. */
sym_name = ada_unqualified_name (ada_decode (sym_name));
if (strncmp (sym_name, text, text_len) == 0)
match = 1;
}
What happens is that ada_decode correctly identifies the fact that
SYM_NAME (".refptr.pck_E") is not following any GNAT encoding, and
therefore returns that same name, but bracketed: "<.refptr.pck_E>".
This is the convention we use for telling GDB that the decoded name
is not a real Ada name - and therefore should not be encoded for
operations such as name matching, symbol lookups, etc. So far, so good.
Next is the call to ada_unqualified_name, which unfortunately does
not notice that the decoded name it is being given isn't a natural
symbol, and just blindly strips everything up to the last do, returning
"pck_E>". And of course, "pck_E>" matches "pck" now, and so we end
up accepting this symbol as a match.
This patch fixes the problem by making ada_unqualified_name a little
smarter by making sure that the given decoded symbol name does not
start with '<'.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unqualified_name): Return DECODED_NAME if
it starts with '<'.
Tested on x86_64-windows using AdaCore's testsuite as well as
on x86_64-linux.
Consider the following code which declares a variable A2 which
is an array of arrays of integers.
type Array2_First is array (24 .. 26) of Integer;
type Array2_Second is array (1 .. 2) of Array2_First;
A1 : Array1_Second := ((10, 11, 12), (13, 14, 15));
Trying to print the type of that variable currently yields:
(gdb) ptype A2
type = array (1 .. 2, 24 .. 26) of integer
This is not correct, as this is the description of a two-dimension
array, which is different from an array of arrays. The expected
output is:
(gdb) ptype a2
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo_n926_029.array2_first
GDB's struct type currently handles multi-dimension arrays the same
way arrays of arrays, where each dimension is stored as a sub-array.
The ada-valprint module considers that consecutive array layers
are in fact multi-dimension arrays. For array of arrays, a typedef
layer is introduced between the two arrays, creating a break between
each array type.
In our situation, A2 is a described as a typedef of an array type...
.uleb128 0x8 # (DIE (0x125) DW_TAG_variable)
.ascii "a2\0" # DW_AT_name
.long 0xfc # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xfc) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF5 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_second"
.long 0x107 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x5 # (DIE (0x107) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF5 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_second"
.long 0xb4 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x6 # (DIE (0x114) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x11b # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x2 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x107
... whose element type is, as expected, a typedef to the sub-array
type:
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xb4) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first"
.long 0xbf # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0xbf) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first"
.long 0xd8 # DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type
.long 0x1c5 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0xa # (DIE (0xd0) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0xf0 # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x18 # DW_AT_lower_bound
.byte 0x1a # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0xbf
The reason why things fails is that, during expression evaluation,
GDB tries to "fix" A1's type. Because the sub-array has a parallel
(descriptive) type (DIE 0xd8), GDB thinks that our array's index
type must be dynamic and therefore needs to be fixed. This in turn
causes the sub-array to be "fixed", which itself results in the
typedef layer to be stripped.
However, looking closer at the parallel type, we see...
.uleb128 0xb # (DIE (0xd8) DW_TAG_structure_type)
.long .LASF8 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first___XA"
[...]
.uleb128 0xc # (DIE (0xe4) DW_TAG_member)
.long .LASF10 # DW_AT_name: "foo__Tarray2_firstD1___XDLU_24__26"
... that all it tells us is that the array bounds are 24 and 26,
which is already correctly provided by the array's DW_TAG_subrange_type
bounds, meaning that this parallel type is just redundant.
Parallel types in general are slowly being removed in favor of
standard DWARF constructs. But in the meantime, this patch kills
two birds with one stone:
1. It recognizes this situation where the XA type is useless,
and saves an unnecessary range-type fixing;
2. It fixes the issue at hand because ignoring the XA type results
in no type fixing being required, which allows the typedef layer
to be preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:

... when that packed array is part of a discriminated record and
one of the bounds is a discriminant.
Consider the following code:
type FUNNY_CHAR_T is (NUL, ' ', '"', '#', [etc]);
type FUNNY_STR_T is array (POSITIVE range <>) of FUNNY_CHAR_T;
pragma PACK (FUNNY_STR_T);
type FUNNY_STRING_T (SIZE : NATURAL := 1) is
record
STR : FUNNY_STR_T (1 .. SIZE) := (others => '0');
LENGTH : NATURAL := 4;
end record;
TEST: FUNNY_STRING_T(100);
GDB is able to print the value of variable "test" and "test.str".
But not "test.str(1)":
(gdb) p test
$1 = (size => 100, str => (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>), length => 1)
(gdb) p test.str
$2 = (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>)
(gdb) p test.str(1)
object size is larger than varsize-limit
The problem occurs during the phase where we are trying to resolve
the expression subscript operation. On the one hand of the subscript
operator, we have the result of the evaluation of "test.str", which
is our packed array. We have the following code to handle packed
arrays in particular:
if (ada_is_constrained_packed_array_type
(desc_base_type (value_type (argvec[0]))))
argvec[0] = ada_coerce_to_simple_array (argvec[0]);
This eventually leads to a call to constrained_packed_array_type
to return the "simple array". This function relies on a parallel
___XA type, when available, to determine the bounds. In our case,
we find type...
failure__funny_string_t__T4b___XA"
... which has one field describing the bounds of our array as:
failure__funny_string_t__T3b___XDLU_1__size
The part that interests us is after the ___XD suffix or,
in other words: "LU_1__size". What this means in GNAT encoding
parlance is that the lower bound is 1, and that the upper bound
is the value of "size". "size" is our discriminant in this case.
Normally, we would access the record's discriminant in order to
get the upper bound's value, but we do not have that information,
here. We are in a mode where we are just trying to "fix" the type
without an actual value. This is what the call to to_fixed_range_type
is doing, and because the fix'ing fails, it ends up returning
the ___XDLU type unmodified as our index type.
This shouldn't be a problem, except that the later part of
constrained_packed_array_type then uses that index_type to
determine the array size, via a call to get_discrete_bounds.
The problem is that the upper bound of the ___XDLU type is
dynamic (in the DWARF sense) while get_discrete_bounds implicitly
assumes that the bounds are static, and therefore accesses
them using macros that assume the bounds values are constants:
case TYPE_CODE_RANGE:
*lowp = TYPE_LOW_BOUND (type);
*highp = TYPE_HIGH_BOUND (type);
This therefore returns a bogus value for the upper bound,
leading to an unexpectedly large size for our array, which
later triggers the varsize-limit guard we've seen above.
This patch avoids the problem by adding special handling
of dynamic range types. It also extends the documentation
of the constrained_packed_array_type function to document
what happens in this situation.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (constrained_packed_array_type): Set the length
of the return array as if both bounds where zero if that
returned array's index type is dynamic.

When trying to evaluate an expression which adds a pointer and
an integral, the evaluation succeeds if the pointer is on
the left handside of the operator, but not when it is on the right
handside:
(gdb) p something'address + 0
$1 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 + something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Same issue when doing subtractions:
(gdb) p something'address - 0
$2 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 - something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
This patch enhances the Ada expression evaluator to handle
these two situations.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <BINOP_ADD>: Add handling
of the case where the second operand is a pointer.
<BINOP_SUB>: Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/addr_arith: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Trying to print the bounds or the length of a pointer to an array
whose bounds are dynamic results in the following error:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'first
Location address is not set.
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'length
Location address is not set.
This is because, after having dereferenced our array pointer, we
use the type of the resulting array value, instead of the enclosing
type. The former is the original type where the bounds are unresolved,
whereas we need to get the actual array bounds.
Similarly, trying to apply those attributes to the array pointer
directly (without explicitly dereferencing it with the '.all'
operator) yields the same kind of error:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'first
Location address is not set.
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'length
Location address is not set.
This is caused by the fact that the dereference was done implicitly
in this case, and perform at the type level only, which is not
sufficient in order to resolve the array type.
This patch fixes both issues, thus allowing us to get the expected output:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'length
$2 = 3
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'first
$3 = 1
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'length
$4 = 3
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound): If ARR is a TYPE_CODE_PTR,
dereference it first. Use value_enclosing_type instead of
value_type.
(ada_array_length): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp: Add 'first, 'last and 'length tests.
Consider a pointer to an array which dynamic bounds, described in
DWARF as follow:
<1><25>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<26> DW_AT_name : foo__array_type
[...]
<2><3b>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<40> DW_AT_lower_bound : 5 byte block: 97 38 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit8; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
<46> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: 97 34 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit4; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
GDB is now able to correctly print the entire array, but not one
element of the array. Eg:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all
$1 = (1, 2, 3)
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all(1)
Cannot access memory at address 0xfffffffff4123a0c
The problem occurs because we are missing a dynamic resolution of
the variable's array type when subscripting the array. What the current
code does is "fix"-ing the array type using the GNAT encodings, but
that operation ignores any of the array's dynamic properties.
This patch fixes the issue by using ada_value_ind to dereference
the array pointer, which takes care of the array type resolution.
It also continues to "fix" arrays described using GNAT encodings,
so backwards compatibility is preserved.

This fixes PR symtab/14604, PR symtab/14605, and Jan's test at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00158.html, in a tree
with bddbbed reverted:
2014-07-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* value.c (allocate_optimized_out_value): Don't mark value as
non-lazy.
The PRs are about variables described by the DWARF as being split over
multiple registers using DWARF piece information, but some of those
registers being marked as optimised out (not saved) by a later frame.
GDB currently incorrectly mishandles these partially-optimized-out
values.
Even though we can usually tell from the debug info whether a local or
global is optimized out, handling the case of a local living in a
register that was not saved in a frame requires fetching the variable.
GDB also needs to fetch a value to tell whether parts of it are
"<unavailable>". Given this, it's not worth it to try to avoid
fetching lazy optimized-out values based on debug info alone.
So this patch makes GDB track which chunks of a value's contents are
optimized out like it tracks <unavailable> contents. That is, it
makes value->optimized_out be a bit range vector instead of a boolean,
and removes the struct lval_funcs check_validity and check_any_valid
hooks.
Unlike Andrew's series which this is based on (at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00300.html, note some
pieces have gone in since), this doesn't merge optimized out and
unavailable contents validity/availability behind a single interface,
nor does it merge the bit range vectors themselves (at least yet).
While it may be desirable to have a single entry point that returns
existence of contents irrespective of what may make them
invalid/unavailable, several places want to treat optimized out /
unavailable / etc. differently, so each spot that potentially could
use it will need to be careful considered on case-by-case basis, and
best done as a separate change.
This fixes Jan's test, because value_available_contents_eq wasn't
considering optimized out value contents. It does now, and because of
that it's been renamed to value_contents_eq.
A new intro comment is added to value.h describing "<optimized out>",
"<not saved>" and "<unavailable>" values.

Now that the OP_VAR_VALUE section of this function has been reorganized
a bit, we can fall-back on standard evaluation when static fixing is
not required. This patch does that, but being exclusive about when
static fixing has to be used, rather than doing it all the time when
noside is EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS.
This will pave the way for later when we want to evaluate entities
that have no GNAT encodings related to them but dynamic properties
instead. In that case, we expect the standard evaluation to resolve
those dynamic properties for us, even in no-side-effect mode.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_VAR_VALUE>:
When noside is EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS, only return a statically
fixed value for records and unions for which some GNAT encodings
are present.
The OP_VAR_VALUE branch in ada_evaluate_subexp is written with
multiple "if ... else if ... else if ... else ..." block. But
in practice, these blocks all either goto out of that block of
code, or return.
This patch rewrites this code slightly by replacing the "else if"-s
by simple "if"s. This should better reflect the ideal processing
where we try to do a standard eval whenever possible, and only
do something else when the standard eval does not work. On a pratical
level, this patch makes it easier to fall through to the default
processing when none of the special situations are detected, thus
making it easier to add more handlers of those special situations;
or to remove them as they no longer become necessary!
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_VAR_VALUE>: Slight code
rewrite to avoid "else if" and "else" constructs. Should be

Generally, the blockvector ought to be readonly. So, this patch makes
the blockvector const in the symtab, and also changes various
blockvector APIs to be const.
This patch has a couple of spots that cast away const. I consider
these to be ok because they occur in mdebugread and are used while
constructing the blockvector. I have added comments at these spots.

Consider the following declaration in Ada...
type Array_Type is array (L .. U) of Natural;
... where L and U are parameters of the function where the declaration
above was made. At the moment, GDB relies on descriptive types in order
to properly decode the array bounds. For instance, if L was 5, and U
was 10, we would see the following:
(gdb) ptype array_type
type = array (5 .. 10) of natural
(gdb) maintenance set ada ignore-descriptive-types
(gdb) ptype array_type
type = array (1 .. 28544912) of natural
This patch enhances ada_discrete_type_{high,low}_bound to resolve
any dynamicity. This is sufficient to fix the case of the upper bound.
For the lower bound, the dwarf2read module does not handle dynamic
lower bounds yet, but once it does, the lower bound should be correctly
handled as well [1].
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_discrete_type_high_bound): Resolve the type's
dynamic bounds before computing its upper bound.
(ada_discrete_type_low_bound): Same as above with the lower bound.
[1]: The reason why we do not enhance dwarf2read to handle dynamic
lower bounds ahead of this patch is because it unveils some latent
issues such as this one.
In ada-lang.c::ada_evaluate_subexp, case OP_VAR_VALUE, when noside
is EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS, the first thing we do is set type as
follow:
type = static_unwrap_type (SYMBOL_TYPE (exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol));
Later on in the same block, we make the same call:
return value_zero
(to_static_fixed_type
(static_unwrap_type (SYMBOL_TYPE (exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol))),
not_lval);
This patch removes the second call, since it should result in the same
type being returned, so no point in making that call again.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_VAR_VALUE>: Remove
unnecessary second call to static_unwrap_type.

PR c++/16253.
symbol_matches_domain was permitting searches for a VAR_DOMAIN
symbol to also match STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols for languages like C++
where STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols also define a typedef of the same name,
e.g., "struct foo {}" introduces a typedef of the name "foo".
Problems occur if there exists both a VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN
symbol of the same name. Then it is essentially a race between which
symbol is found first. The other symbol is obscurred.
[This is a relatively common idiom: enum e { ... } e;]
This patchset moves this "language defines a typedef" logic to
lookup_symbol[_in_language], looking first for a symbol in the given
domain and falling back to searching STRUCT_DOMAIN when/if appropriate.

Consider the following declarations:
type Packed_Array is array (Natural range <>) of Boolean;
pragma Pack (Packed_Array);
function Make (H, L : Natural) return Packed_Array is
begin
return (H .. L => False);
end Make;
A1 : Packed_Array := Make (1, 2);
A2 : Packed_Array renames A1;
One possible DWARF translation for A2 is:
<3><1e4>: Abbrev Number: 21 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1e5> DW_AT_name : a2
<1ea> DW_AT_type : <0x1d9>
<3><1d9>: Abbrev Number: 22 (DW_TAG_const_type)
<1da> DW_AT_type : <0x1de>
<3><1de>: Abbrev Number: 23 (DW_TAG_reference_type)
<1e0> DW_AT_type : <0x1a3>
<3><1a3>: Abbrev Number: 17 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<1a4> DW_AT_name : foo__Ta1S___XP1
<1a8> DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type: <0x16b>
<3><16b>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_typedef)
<16c> DW_AT_name : foo__Ta1S
<172> DW_AT_type : <0x176>
<3><176>: Abbrev Number: 17 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<177> DW_AT_name : foo__Ta1S
<17b> DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type: <0x223>
Here, foo__Ta1S___XP1 is the type used for the code generation while
foo__Ta1S is the source-level type. Both form a valid GNAT encoding for
a packed array type.
Trying to print A2 (1) can make GDB crash. This is because A2 is defined
as a reference to a GNAT encoding for a packed array. When decoding
constrained packed arrays, the ada_coerce_ref subprogram follows
references and returns a fixed type from the target type, peeling
the GNAT encoding for packed arrays. The remaining code assumes that
the resulting type is still such an encoding while we only have
a standard GDB array type, hence the crash:
arr = ada_coerce_ref (arr);
[...]
type = decode_constrained_packed_array_type (value_type (arr));
decode_constrained_packed_array_type assumes that its argument is
such an encoding. From its front comment:
/* The array type encoded by TYPE, where
ada_is_constrained_packed_array_type (TYPE). */
This patch simply replaces the call to ada_coerce_ref with a call
to coerce_ref in order to avoid prematurely transforming
the packed array type as a side-effect. This way, the remaining code
will always work with a GNAT encoding.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (decode_constrained_packed_array): Perform a
minimal coercion for reference with coerce_ref instead of
ada_coerce_ref.
When evaluating an expression, if it is of a tagged type, GDB reads
the tag in memory and deduces the full view. At parsing time, however,
this operation is done only in the case of OP_VAR_VALUE. ptype does
not go through a full evaluation of expressions so it may return some
odd results:
(gdb) print c.menu_name
$1 = 0x0
(gdb) ptype $

This change removes this peculiarity by extending the tag resolution
to UNOP_IND and STRUCTOP_STRUCT. As in the case of OP_VAR_VALUE, this
implies switching from EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS to EVAL_NORMAL when a
tagged type is dereferenced.
