This is the second part of enhancing the debugger to print the value
of arrays of records whose size is variable when only standard DWARF
info is available (no GNAT encoding). For instance:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
Currently, GDB prints the following output:
(gdb) p a1
$1 = (
The error happens while the ada-valprint module is trying to print
the value of an element of our array. Because of the fact that
the array's element (type Record_Type) has a variant size, the DWARF
info for our array provide the array's stride:
<1><749>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<74a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb6d): pck__T18s
<74e> DW_AT_byte_stride : 16
<74f> DW_AT_type : <0x6ea>
And because our array has a stride, ada-valprint treats it the same
way as packed arrays (see ada-valprint.c::ada_val_print_array):
if (TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (type, 0) > 0)
val_print_packed_array_elements (type, valaddr, offset_aligned,
0, stream, recurse,
original_value, options);
The first thing that we should notice in the call above is that
the "valaddr" buffer and the associated offset (OFFSET_ALIGNED)
is passed, but that the corresponding array's address is not.
This can be explained by looking inside val_print_packed_array_elements,
where we see that the function unpacks each element of our array from
the buffer alone (ada_value_primitive_packed_val), and then prints
the resulting artificial value instead:
v0 = ada_value_primitive_packed_val (NULL, valaddr + offset,
(i0 * bitsize) / HOST_CHAR_BIT,
(i0 * bitsize) % HOST_CHAR_BIT,
bitsize, elttype);
[...]
val_print (elttype, value_contents_for_printing (v0),
value_embedded_offset (v0), 0, stream,
recurse + 1, v0, &opts, current_language);
Of particular interest, here, is the fact that we call val_print
with a null address, which is OK, since we're providing a buffer
instead (value_contents_for_printing). Also, providing an address
might not always possible, since packing could place elements at
boundaries that are not byte-aligned.
Things go south when val_print tries to see if there is a pretty-printer
that could be applied. In particular, one of the first things that
the Python pretty-printer does is to create a value using our buffer,
and the given address, which in this case is null (see call to
value_from_contents_and_address in gdbpy_apply_val_pretty_printer).
value_from_contents_and_address, in turn immediately tries to resolve
the type, using the given address, which is null. But, because our
array element is a record containing an array whose bound is the value
of one of its elements (the "s" component), the debugging info for
the array's upper bound is a reference...
<3><71a>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<71b> DW_AT_type : <0x724>
<71f> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x703>
... to component "i" of our record...
<2><703>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_member)
<704> DW_AT_name : i
<706> DW_AT_decl_file : 2
<707> DW_AT_decl_line : 6
<708> DW_AT_type : <0x6d1>
<70c> DW_AT_data_member_location: 0
... where that component is located at offset 0 of the start
of the record. dwarf2_evaluate_property correctly determines
the offset where to load the value of the bound from, but then
tries to read that value from inferior memory using the address
that was given, which is null. See case PROP_ADDR_OFFSET in
dwarf2_evaluate_property:
val = value_at (baton->offset_info.type,
pinfo->addr + baton->offset_info.offset);
This triggers a memory error, which then causes the printing to terminate.
Since there are going to be situations where providing an address
alone is not going to be sufficient (packed arrays where array elements
are not stored at byte boundaries), this patch fixes the issue by
enhancing the type resolution to take both address and data. This
follows the same principle as the val_print module, where both
address and buffer ("valaddr") can be passed as arguments. If the data
has already been fetched from inferior memory (or provided by the
debugging info in some form -- Eg a constant), then use that data
instead of reading it from inferior memory.
Note that this should also be a good step towards being able to handle
dynamic types whose value is stored outside of inferior memory
(Eg: in a register).
With this patch, GDB isn't able to print all of A1, but does perform
a little better:
(gdb) p a1
$1 = ((i => 0, s => , (i => 1, s => , (i => 2, s => )
There is another issue which is independent of this one, and will
therefore be patched separately.

Consider the following (Ada) variable...
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
... where Array_Type is an array of records whose size is variable:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
Trying to print the value of this array currently results in the following
error:
(gdb) p a1
Cannot access memory at address 0x61c000
What happens in this case, is that the compiler describes our array
as an array with a specific stride (and bounds being static 1..3):
<1><749>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<74a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb6d): pck__T18s
<74e> DW_AT_byte_stride : 16
<74f> DW_AT_type : <0x6ea>
<2><757>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<758> DW_AT_type : <0x75e>
<75c> DW_AT_upper_bound : 3
This is because we cannot use, in this case, the size of the record
to determine that stride, since the size of the record depends on
its contents. So the compiler helps us by providing that stride.
The problems start when trying to resolve that type. Because the elements
contained in that array type are dynamic, the array itself is considered
dynamic, and thus we end up creating a resolved version of that array.
And during that resolution, we were not handling the case where the array
had a stride. See gdbtypes.c::resolve_dynamic_array...
return create_array_type (copy_type (type),
elt_type,
range_type);
As a result, we created an array whose stride was based on the size
of elt_type, which a record whose size isn't static and irrelevant
regardless.
This patch fixes is by calling create_array_type_with_stride instead.
As it happens, there is another issue for us to be able to print
the value of our array, but those are independent of this patch
and will be handled separately. For now, the patch allows us to
get rid of the first error, and the output is now:
(gdb) p a1

Hi,
I see this fails below on arm linux native testing and remote testing
with "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1",
rwatch global^M
There are not enough available hardware resources for this watchpoint.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp: always-inserted off: rwatch: twice: rwatch global
gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp sets two breakpoints/watchpoints on the
same address. GDB isn't smart enough calculate these two HW
watchpoints can fit in one HW debug register, so the error message
above isn't necessary (there is one HW watchpoint register on arm).
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.

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.

For no good reason the function tui_free_window() is freeing the locator
window when we pass it an SRC_WIN or a DISASSEM_WIN. This behavior
doesn't make much sense because the locator window is always visible and
its contents do not change when the main window changes.
This behavior triggers the above PR because when we switch from one TUI
window to another (in the PR, from the src window to the asm window) we
call tui_free_window() on the previously active window (in the PR, the
src window). The function then frees the src window along with the
locator window and later we segfault when the now-active asm window
tries to query the locator window about the inferior's PC.

tui_free_window() to not free the locator window when we pass it an
SRC_WIN or a DISASSEM_WIN.

Set "to_remove_exec_catchpoint" to "fbsd_remove_exec_catchpoint".
Enable PT_FOLLOW_FORK on all processes. When this is enabled, both
the parent and child process stop when a fork or vfork occurs.
A target operation for wait uses PT_LWPINFO to fetch more detailed
information about the state of a stopped process. A parent process
sets the PL_FLAG_FORKED flag in the pl_flags field of the structure
returned by PT_LWPINFO as well as the pid of the new child process.
The child process sets the PL_FLAG_CHILD flag in the pl_flags field.
When a fork is detected, the wait hook waits for both processes to
report their respective events. It then reports the fork to GDB as
a single TARGET_WAITKIND_FORKED or TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORKED event.
The kernel does not guarantee the order the events are reported in.
If the parent process' event is reported first, then the wait hook
explicitly waits for the child process. If the child process' event
is reported first, the event is recorded on an internal list of
pending child events and the wait hook waits for another event.
Later when the parent process' event is reported, the parent will
use the previously-recorded child process event instead of explicitly
waiting on the child process.
To distinguish vfork events from fork events, the external process
structure for the child process is extracted from the kernel. The
P_PPWAIT flag is set in the ki_flags field of this structure if the
process was created via vfork, but it is not set for a regular fork.

false if the argument is zero.
Currently, ada-lang.c:template_to_static_fixed_type (working on
structure types only) caches its result into the unused TYPE_TARGET_TYPE
field. This introduces inconsistencies when the input type is
specialized, for instance during type resolution: the cached static
fixed type is copied along with the original type, but it's no longer
adapted to the copy once the copy is modified:
template_to_static_fixed_type has to compute another static fixed type
for it.
This change first introduces a cache reset during type resolution for
structure types so that this inconsistency does not happen anymore. It
also makes template_to_static_fixed_type smarter with respect to types
that do not need static fixed copies so that less computations is done
in general.
This inconsistency was spotted thanks to code reading, not because of
any sort of failure and we did not manage to exhibit a failure yet, so
no testcase for this.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (template_to_static_fixed_type): Return input type
when it is already fixed. Cache the input type itself when not
creating a static fixed copy. Make it explicit that we never
molestate the input type.
* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_struct): Reset the
TYPE_TARGET_TYPE field for resolved copies.
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.

* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): Match eof/full_buffer/timeout
on $any_spawn_id instead of only on $gdb_spawn_id.
In readline 6.3, the semantics of SIGWINCH handling has changed.
When a SIGWINCH signal is raised, readline's rl_sigwinch_handler() now
does not immediately call rl_resize_terminal(). Instead it sets a flag
that is checked by RL_CHECK_SIGNALS() at a point where readline has
control, and calls rl_resize_terminal() if said flag is set.
This change is item (c) in https://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/CHANGES
c. Fixed a bug that caused readline to try and run code to modify its idea
of the screen size in a signal handler context upon receiving a SIGWINCH.
This change in behavior is important to us because TUI's
tui_sigwinch_handler() relies on the assumption that by the time it's
called, readline will have updated its knowledge of the terminal
dimensions via rl_resize_terminal(). Since this assumption no longer
holds true, TUI's SIGWINCH handling does not work correctly with
readline 6.3.
To fix this issue this patch makes TUI explicitly call
rl_resize_terminal() in tui_async_resize_screen() at the point where
current terminal dimensions are needed. (We could call it in
tui_sigwinch_handler too, but since readline avoids doing it, we are
probably safer off avoiding to call it in signal handler context as
well.) After this change, SIGWINCH handling continues to work properly
with both readline 6.2 and 6.3.
Since we no longer need it, we could now explicitly disable readline's
SIGWINCH handler by setting rl_catch_sigwinch to zero early on in the
program startup but I can't seem to find a good spot to place this
assignment (the first call to rl_initialize() occurs in
tui_initialize_readline() so the assignment should occur before then),
and the handler is harmless anyway.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-win.c (tui_async_resize_screen): Call
rl_resize_terminal().
Using the 'catch-signal' test from the testsuite, on x86_64 Cygwin:

40 raise (SIGHUP); /* second HUP */
Failed to resume program execution (ContinueDebugEvent failed, error 87)
(gdb)
This error occurs because when handle_output_debug_string processes a Cygwin
signal message, it re-writes current_event.dwThreadId to reflect the thread that
the signal will be delivered to, which can be different to the thread reporting
the signal.
Altering current_event.dwThreadId() will cause ContinueDebugEvent() to be
applied to the wrong thread and fail.
So, rather than re-writing the thread id in current_event, use the thread
id by returning it.
With this patch applied this test now yields the expected result:

[hangs]
This is due to a defect in the way Cygwin signals are handled: When
handle_output_debug_string processes a Cygwin signal message, it re-writes
current_event.dwThreadId to reflect the thread that the signal will be delivered
to.
Subsequently, the call to ContinueDebugEvent will fail, because we're trying to
resume the wrong thread. GDB is then stuck waiting forever for another event
that will never come.
This patch doesn't fix the problem, it just adds appropriate error handling.
Using error() seems appropriate here, if ContinueDebugEvent() fails, the
inferior is in an unknown state and we will probably not be debugging it
anymore.

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),
to avoid the error that GDB does find normal variables
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
