This forces all tests that rely on stdio to be unbuffered, like
interrupt.exp was adjusted in 6f98576f.
To recap, in some scenarios, GDB or GDBserver can be spawned with
input _not_ connected to a tty, and then tests that rely on stdio fail
with timeouts, because the inferior's stdout and stderr streams end up
fully buffered. Calling gdb_unbuffer_output forces output to be
unbuffered.

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00819.html.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and against a remote gdbserver
board file that connects to the target with ssh, with and without -t
(create pty).

Using gcc 5.2 (maybe other versions as well), building mi-pending.c gives
these warnings:
./gdb.mi/mi-pending.c: In function ‘thread_func’:
./gdb.mi/mi-pending.c:34:5: warning: ‘return’ with no value, in function returning non-void
return;
^
./gdb.mi/mi-pending.c:38:5: warning: ‘return’ with no value, in function returning non-void
return;
^
gdb_compile_pthreads assumes that the build was successful only if there
is no output. These warnings therefore make gdb_compile_pthreads think
that the build failed, and the test doesn't run.
The easy fix is to replace the "return" with "return NULL". I am
pushing this as obvious.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-pending.c (thread_func): Replace return with return
NULL.
I noticed there was an unexpected pass in mi-watch.exp when running on
x86_64. Doing a bit of archeology shows that the xfail was added by
4a543da. This particular test failed on the MIPS architecture, which
the original contributor was working with. Here is the thread:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-09/msg00151.html
Looking at the latest buildbot results for MIPS, it seems that it's also
an unexpected pass on that architecture. Therefore, I see no reason to
leave the xfail in place.

* gdb.mi/mi-watch.exp (test_watchpoint_triggering): Remove xfail.

I sent a patch in 2013 for this (incorrectly named =thread-created):
https://cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00129.html
Tom Tromey was ok with the change, but suggested to add a test as well.
Then I forgot about this patch until today. So here it is again, with the
corresponding test.
The problem is that the =thread-exited event does not appear when detaching
from a local process. It does appear with remote though. It's not a really
big deal, but I'd like it to be consistent.

When setting a pending breakpoint with a thread condition while using

This patch fixes this behavior by setting the thread condition properly in the

In the situation described in bug 17416 [1]:
* "set print object" is on;
* The variable object is a pointer to a struct, and it contains an
invalid value (e.g. NULL, or random uninitialized value);
* The variable object (struct) has a child which is also a pointer to a
struct;
* We try to use "-var-list-children".
... an exception thrown in value_ind can propagate too far and leave an
half-built variable object, leading to a wrong state. This patch adds a
TRY_CATCH to catch it and makes value_rtti_indirect_type return NULL in
that case, meaning that the type of the pointed object could not be

This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.
Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.
A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.
I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-var-display.exp: set format variable weird.func_ptr_ptr in natural
In the test, "0x0" is expected, but "0x0 <_ftext>" is in the output.
Function pointers point to address zero, and tests assume there is no
symbol on address zero. However, on my arm-none-eabi target, there is
a code symbol _ftext on address zero, and test fails. Note that "set
print symbol off" doesn't take effect for function pointer.

$2 = (int (*)(void)) 0x8048400 <main>
In order to erase the difference, we can assign some function address
explicitly to function pointer, so the test behaves in a unique way.
In this patch, we assign nothing1 and nothing2 to function pointers
func_ptr_struct and func_ptr_ptr respectively, and update test as the
source file is changed.

The MI command -var-info-path-expression currently does not handle
non-anonymous structs / unions nested within other structs / unions,
it will skip parts of the expression. Consider this example:
## START EXAMPLE ##
$ cat ex.c
#include <string.h>
int
main ()
{
struct s1
{
int a;
};
struct ss
{
struct s1 x;
};
struct ss an_ss;
memset (&an_ss, 0, sizeof (an_ss));
return 0;
}
$ gcc -g -o ex.x ex.c
$ gdb ex.x
(gdb) break 18
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/user/ex.x
Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18
18 return 0;
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-create an_ss * an_ss"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss"
^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x"
^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a"
^done,numchild="0",has_more="0"
(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a"
^done,path_expr="(an_ss).a"
(gdb) print (an_ss).a
There is no member named a.
## END EXAMPLE ##
Notice that the path expression returned is wrong, and as a result
the print command fails.
This patch adds a new method to the varobj_ops structure called
is_path_expr_parent, to allow language specific control over finding
the parent varobj, the current logic becomes the C/C++ version and is
extended to handle the nested cases. No other language currently uses
this code, so all other languages just get a default method.
With this patch, the above example now finishes like this:
## START EXAMPLE ##
$ gdb ex.x
(gdb) break 18
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/user/ex.x

18 return 0;

(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a"
^done,path_expr="((an_ss).x).a"
(gdb) print ((an_ss).x).a
$1 = 0
## END EXAMPLE ##
Notice that the path expression is now correct, and the print is a
success.

skip_type_update_when_not_use_rtti_test) the testcase assumes an
uninitialized object has a specific type. In particular, 'ptr' and
's'.
In reality the compiler is free to do what it wants with that
uninitialized variable, even initialize it beforehand with the future
assignment's value. This is exactly what happens on some targets.
ptr should have type 'Base *', but it really has type 'Derived *'
because it is already initialized (earlier) by the compiler. The same
thing happens to 's'.
The following patch addresses this by explicitly initializing those
variables so the compiler doesn't optimize their assignments and GDB
can print their correct values.

If an MI client creates a varobj and attempts to update the root
/before/ the inferior is started, gdb will throw an internal error:
(gdb)

~"../../src/gdb/thread.c:628: internal-error: is_thread_state: Assertion `tp' failed.\nA problem internal to GDB has been detected,\nfurther debugging may prove unreliable.\nQuit this debugging session? "
~"(y or n) "
The function that handles the varobj update in the failing case,
mi_cmd_var_udpate_iter, checks if the thread/inferior is stopped before
attempting to update the varobj. It calls is_stopped (inferior_ptid)
which calls is_thread_state:
tp = find_thread_ptid (ptid);
gdb_assert (tp);
When there is no inferior, ptid is null_ptid, and find_thread_ptid (null_ptid)
returns NULL and the assertion is triggered.
This patch changes mi_cmd_var_update_iter to behave the same way
"-var-update var1" does: by calling the thread "stopped" if
there is no inferior (and thereby calling varobj_update_one).

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15806
Here is an example of a =library-loaded event with an ill-named directory,
/tmp/how"are\you (the problem is present with every directory on Windows since
it uses backslashes as a path separator). The result will be the following:
=library-loaded,id="/tmp/how"are\\you/libexpat.so.1",...
The " between 'how' and 'are' should be escaped.
Another bad behavior is double escaping in =breakpoint-created, for example:
=breakpoint-created,bkpt={...,fullname="/tmp/how\\"are\\\\you/test.c",...}
The two backslashes before 'how' should be one and the four before 'you' should
be two.
The reason for this is that when sending something to an MI console, escaping
can take place at two different moments (the actual escaping work is always
done in the printchar function):
1. When generating the content, if ui_out_field_* functions are used. Here,
fields are automatically quoted with " and properly escaped. At least
mi_field_string does it, not sure about mi_field_fmt, I need to investigate
further.
2. When gdb_flush is called, to send the data in the buffer of the console to
the actual output (stdout). At this point, mi_console_raw_packet takes the
whole string in the buffer, quotes it, and escapes all occurences of the
quoting character and backslashes. The event_channel does not specify a quoting
character, so quotes are not escaped here, only backslashes.
The problem with =library-loaded is that it does use fprintf_unfiltered, which
doesn't do escaping (so, no #1). When gdb_flush is called, backslashes are
escaped (#2).
The problem with =breakpoint-created is that it first uses ui_out_field_*
functions to generate its output, so backslashes and quotes are escaped there
(#1). backslashes are escaped again in #2, leading to an overdose of
backslashes.
In retrospect, there is no way escaping can be done reliably in
mi_console_raw_packet for data that is already formatted, such as
event_channel. At this point, there is no way to differentiate quotes that
delimit field values from those that should be escaped. In the case of other MI
consoles, it is ok since mi_console_raw_packet receives one big string that
should be quoted and escaped as a whole.
So, first part of the fix: for the MI channels that specify no quoting
character, no escaping at all should be done in mi_console_raw_packet (that's
the change in printchar, thanks to Yuanhui Zhang for this). For those channels,
whoever generates the content is responsible for proper quoting and escaping.
This will fix the =breakpoint-created kind of problem.
Second part of the fix is to make =library-loaded generate content that is
properly escaped. For this, we use ui_out_field_* functions, instead of one big
fprintf_unfiltered. =library-unloaded suffered from the same problem so it is
modified as well. There might be other events that need fixing too, but that's
all I found with a quick scan. Those that use fprintf_unfiltered but whose sole
variable data is a %d are not critical, since it won't generate a " or a \.
Finally, a test has been fixed, as it was expecting an erroneous output.
Otherwise, all other tests that were previously passing still pass (x86-64
linux).

This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

Ignoring expected and desired differences like whether the prompt is
output after *stoppped records, GDB MI output is still different in
sync and async modes.
In sync mode, when a CLI execution command is entered, the "reason"
field is missing in the *stopped async record. And in async mode, for
some events, like program exits, the corresponding CLI output is
missing in the CLI channel.
Vis, diff between sync vs async modes:
run
^running
*running,thread-id="1"
(gdb)
...
- ~"[Inferior 1 (process 15882) exited normally]\n"
=thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
=thread-group-exited,id="i1",exit-code="0"
- *stopped
+ *stopped,reason="exited-normally"
si
...
(gdb)
~"0x000000000045e033\t29\t memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);\n"
- *stopped,frame=...,thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
+ *stopped,reason="end-stepping-range",frame=...,thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
(gdb)
In addition, in both cases, when a MI execution command is entered,
and a breakpoint triggers, the event is sent to the console too. But
some events like program exits have the CLI output missing in the CLI
channel:
-exec-run
^running
*running,thread-id="1"
(gdb)
...
=thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
=thread-group-exited,id="i1",exit-code="0"
- *stopped
+ *stopped,reason="exited-normally"
We'll want to make background commands always possible by default.
IOW, make target-async be the default. But, in order to do that,
we'll need to emulate MI sync on top of an async target. That means
we'll have yet another combination to care for in the testsuite.
Rather than making the testsuite cope with all these differences, I
thought it better to just fix GDB to always have the complete output,
no matter whether it's in sync or async mode.
This is all related to interpreter-exec, and the corresponding uiout
switching. (Typing a CLI command directly in MI is shorthand for
running it through -interpreter-exec console.)
In sync mode, when a CLI command is active, normal_stop is called when
the current interpreter and uiout are CLI's. So print_XXX_reason
prints the stop reason to CLI uiout (only), and we don't show it in
MI.
In async mode the stop event is processed when we're back in the MI
interpreter, so the stop reason is printed directly to the MI uiout.
Fix this by making run control event printing roughly independent of
whatever is the current interpreter or uiout. That is, move these
prints to interpreter observers, that know whether to print or be
quiet, and if printing, which uiout to print to. In the case of the
console/tui interpreters, only print if the top interpreter. For MI,
always print.
Breakpoint hits / normal stops are already handled similarly -- MI has
a normal_stop observer that prints the event to both MI and the CLI,
though that could be cleaned up further in the direction of this
patch.
This also makes all of:
(gdb) foo
and
(gdb) interpreter-exec MI "-exec-foo"
and
(gdb)
-exec-foo
and
(gdb)
-interpreter-exec console "foo"
print as expected.

* gdb.mi/mi-cli.exp: Always expect "end-stepping-range" stop
reason, even in sync mode.
If one sets a breakpoint with a condition that involves calling a
function in the inferior, and then the condition evaluates false, GDB
outputs one *running event for each time the program hits the
breakpoint. E.g.,
$ gdb return-false -i=mi
(gdb)
start
...
(gdb)
b 14 if return_false ()
&"b 14 if return_false ()\n"
~"Breakpoint 2 at 0x4004eb: file return-false.c, line 14.\n"
...
^done
(gdb)
c
&"c\n"
~"Continuing.\n"
^running
*running,thread-id=(...)
(gdb)
*running,thread-id=(...)
*running,thread-id=(...)
*running,thread-id=(...)
*running,thread-id=(...)
*running,thread-id=(...)
... repeat forever ...
An easy way a user can trip on this is with a dprintf with "set
dprintf-style call". In that case, a dprintf is just a breakpoint
that when hit GDB calls the printf function in the inferior, and then
resumes it, just like the case above.
If the breakpoint/dprintf is set in a loop, then these spurious events
can potentially slow down a frontend much, if it decides to refresh
its GUI whenever it sees this event (Eclipse is one such case).
When we run an infcall, we pretend we don't actually run the inferior.
This is already handled for the usual case of calling a function
directly from the CLI:
(gdb)
p return_false ()
&"p return_false ()\n"
~"$1 = 0"
~"\n"
^done
(gdb)
Note no *running, nor *stopped events. That's handled by:
static void
mi_on_resume (ptid_t ptid)
{
...
/* Suppress output while calling an inferior function. */
if (tp->control.in_infcall)
return;
and equivalent code on normal_stop.
However, in the cases of the PR, after finishing the infcall there's
one more resume, and mi_on_resume doesn't know that it should suppress
output then too, somehow.
The "running/stopped" state is a high level user/frontend state.
Internal stops are invisible to the frontend. If follows from that
that we should be setting the thread to running at a higher level
where we still know the set of threads the user _intends_ to resume.
Currently we mark a thread as running from within target_resume, a low
level target operation. As consequence, today, if we resume a
multi-threaded program while stopped at a breakpoint, we see this:
-exec-continue
^running
*running,thread-id="1"
(gdb)
*running,thread-id="all"
The first *running was GDB stepping over the breakpoint, and the
second is GDB finally resuming everything.
Between those two *running's, threads other than "1" still have their
state set to stopped. That's bogus -- in async mode, this opens a
tiny window between both resumes where the user might try to run
another execution command to threads other than thread 1, and very
much confuse GDB.
That is, the "step" below should fail the "step", complaining that the
thread is running:
(gdb) c -a &
(gdb) thread 2
(gdb) step
IOW, threads that GDB happens to not resume immediately (say, because
it needs to step over a breakpoint) shall still be marked as running.
Then, if we move marking threads as running to a higher layer,
decoupled from target_resume, plus skip marking threads as running
when running an infcall, the spurious *running events disappear,
because there will be no state transitions at all.
I think we might end up adding a new thread state -- THREAD_INFCALL or
some such, however since infcalls are always synchronous today, I
didn't find a need. There's no way to execute a CLI/MI command
directly from the prompt if some thread is running an infcall.

IMO, if you're typing execution commands in a frontend's console, you
expect to see their output. Indeed it's what you get in sync mode. I
think async mode should do the same. Deciding what to mirror to the
console wrt to breakpoints and random stops gets messy real fast.
E.g., say "s" trips on a breakpoint. We'd clearly want to mirror the
event to the console in this case. But what about more complicated
cases like "s&; thread n; s&", and one of those steps spawning a new
thread, and that thread hitting a breakpoint? It's impossible in
general to track whether the thread had any relation to the commands
that had been executed. So I think we should just simplify and always
mirror breakpoints and random events to the console.
Notes:
- mi->out is the same as gdb_stdout when MI is the current
interpreter. I think that referring to that directly is cleaner.
An earlier revision of this patch made the changes that are now
done in mi_on_normal_stop directly in infrun.c:normal_stop, and so
not having an obvious place to put the new uiout by then, and not
wanting to abuse CLI's uiout, I made a temporary uiout when
necessary.
- Hopefuly the rest of the patch is more or less obvious given the
comments added.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, no regressions.

I noticed that "list" behaves differently in CLI vs MI. Particularly:

Note the list started at line 57. IOW, the program stopped at line

Here the list starts at line 62, where the program was stopped.
This happens because print_stack_frame, called from both normal_stop
and mi_on_normal_stop, is the function responsible for setting the
current sal from the selected frame, overrides the PRINT_WHAT
argument, and only after that does it decide whether to center the
current sal line or not, based on the overridden value, and it will
always decide false.
(The print_stack_frame call in mi_on_normal_stop is a little different
from the call in normal_stop, in that it is an unconditional
SRC_AND_LOC call. A future patch will make those uniform.)
A previous version of this patch made MI uniform with CLI here, by
making print_stack_frame also center when MI is active. That changed
the output of a "list" command in mi-cli.exp, to expect line 57
instead of 62, as per the example above.
However, looking deeper, that list in question is the first "list"
after the program stops, and right after the stop, before the "list",
the test did "set listsize 1". Let's try the same thing with the CLI:
(gdb) start
62 callee1 (2, "A string argument.", 3.5);
(gdb) set listsize 1
(gdb) list
57 {
Huh, that's unexpected. Why the 57? It's because print_stack_frame,
called in reaction to the breakpoint stop, expecting the next "list"
to show 10 lines (the listsize at the time) around line 62, sets the
lines listed range to 57-67 (62 +/- 5). If the user changes the
listsize before "list", why would we still show that range? Looks
bogus to me.
So the fix for this whole issue should be delay trying to center the
listing to until actually listing, so that the correct listsize can be
taken into account. This makes MI and CLI uniform too, as it deletes
the center code from print_stack_frame.
A series of tests are added to list.exp to cover this. mi-cli.exp was
after all correct all along, but it now gains an additional test that
lists lines with listsize 10, to ensure the centering is consistent
with CLI's.
One related Python test changed related output -- it's a test that
prints the line number after stopping for a breakpoint, similar to the
new list.exp tests. Previously we'd print the stop line minus 5 (due
to the premature centering), now we print the stop line. I think
that's a good change.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This patch fixes mi-file.exp fails on remote host. First, we can't

so this patch changes it to match ${srcfile} only on remote host.
Second, regexp pattern ".*/${srcfile}" isn't friendly to Windows path.
The file name is "basics.c" in my test env and can't match the pattern
due to "/" in it. Remove "/" from the pattern.

breakpoint table handling. This is a patch in five parts (all committed
here in one commit).
----- 1/5: parse_args
parse_args is a very useful utility function which allows you to do
getopt-y kinds of things in Tcl.
Example:
proc myproc {foo args} {
parse_args {{bar} {baz "abc"} {qux}}
# ...
}
myproc ABC -bar -baz DEF peanut butter
will define the following variables in myproc:
foo (=ABC), bar (=1), baz (=DEF), and qux (=0)
args will be the list {peanut butter}
----- 2/5: mi_build_kv_pairs
build_kv_pairs simply does what it says: given the input list
and an option join string, it combines list elements into kv-pairs
for MI handling. It knows how to handle tuples and other special
MI types.
Example:
mi_build_kv_pairs {a b c d e f g \[.*\]}
returns a=\"b\",c=\"d\",e=\"f\",g=\[.*\]
----- 3/5: mi_make_breakpoint
This function builds breakpoint regexps, such as
"bkpt={number=\".*\", [snip]}".
Note that ONLY the options given to mi_make_breakpoint/mi_create_breakpoint
will actually be tested. So if -number is omitted, the regexp will allow
anything [number=\".*\"]
Examples:
mi_make_breakpoint -number 3
mi_create_breakpoint "myfile.c:21" -file myfile.c -line 21
----- 4/5: mi_make_breakpoint_table
This function builds MI breakpoint table regexps.
Example:
set bps {}
lappend bps [mi_make_breakpoint -number 1 -func "main" \
-file ".*/myfile.c" -line 42
lappend bps [mi_make_breakpoint -number 2 -func "marker" \
-file ".*myfile.c" -line 21
gdb_test "-break-info" "\\^done,[mi_make_breakpoint_table $bps]" \
"breakpoint list"

After a previous patch that was committed by Pedro (0000e5cc), trying
to set a dprintf with with a GDBserver that doesn't support agent
commands at all now throws an error. But the dprintf tests still fail
with some GDBserver targets because they doesn't try to handle the
case of the server reporting support for breakpoint commands, but not
be able to use those in combination with Z0 (because Z0 isn't actually
supported, for example):
FAIL: gdb.base/dprintf.exp: 1st dprintf, agent
FAIL: gdb.base/dprintf.exp: 2nd dprintf, agent
FAIL: gdb.base/dprintf.exp: dprintf info 2 (pattern 4)
Similarly for the MI test.
This patch makes the tests handle this scenario.
Tested with native, and native gdbserver on x86_64 Fedora 17.
Also tested with the native-gdbserver.exp board hacked with:
set GDBFLAGS "${GDBFLAGS} -ex \"set remote breakpoint-commands off\""
(actually, "set remote breakpoint-commands off" is presently broken,
so this was on top of a fix for that command.)

(One of the new comments mentions breakpoint always-inserted mode.
Actually testing with breakpoint always-inserted mode fails these
dprintf tests, due to the way they are written. But that'll take a
more substancial rewrite of the tests, so I'm leaving that for another
day.)

For now, let's focus only on the *stopped event. We see that the
async output is missing frame info. And this causes a test failure in
async mode, as "mi_expect_stop solib-event" wants to see the frame
info.
However, if we compare the event output when a real MI execution
command is used, compared to a CLI command (e.g., run vs -exec-run,
next vs -exec-next, etc.), we see:

(gdb)
As seen above, with MI commands, the *stopped event _doesn't_ have
frame info. This is because normal_stop, as commanded by the result
of bpstat_print, skips printing frame info in this case (it's an
"event", not a "breakpoint"), and when the interpreter is MI,
mi_on_normal_stop skips calling print_stack_frame, as the normal_stop
call was already done with the MI uiout. This explains why the async
output is different even with a CLI command. Its because in async
mode, the mi_on_normal_stop path is always taken; it is always reached
with the MI uiout, because the stop is handled from the event loop,
instead of from within `proceed -> wait_for_inferior -> normal_stop'
with the interpreter overridden, as in sync mode.
This patch fixes the issue by making all cases output the same
*stopped event, by factoring out the print code from normal_stop, and
using it from mi_on_normal_stop as well. I chose the *stopped output
without a frame, mainly because that is what you already get if you
use MI execution commands, the commands frontends are supposed to use
(except when implementing a console). This patch makes it simpler to
tweak the MI output differently if desired, as we only have to change
the centralized print_stop_event (taking into account whether the
uiout is MI-like), and all different modes will change accordingly.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, no regressions. The mi-solib.exp test no
longer fails in async mode with this patch, so the patch removes the
kfail.

... when trying to execute an undefined GDB/MI command. When trying
to execute a GDB/MI command which does not exist, the current error
result record looks like this:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported"
The only indication that the command does not exist is the error
message. It would be a little fragile for a consumer to rely solely
on the contents of the error message in order to determine whether
a command exists or not.
This patch improves the situation by adding concept of error
code, starting with one well-defined error code ("undefined-command")
identifying errors due to a non-existant command. Here is the new
output:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported",code="undefined-command"
This error code is only displayed when the corresponding error
condition is met. Otherwise, the error record remains unchanged.
For instance:
-symbol-list-lines foo.adb
^error,msg="-symbol-list-lines: Unknown source file name."
For frontends to be able to know whether they can rely on this
variable, a new entry "undefined-command-error-code" has been
added to the "-list-features" command. Another option would be
to always generate an error="..." variable (for the default case,
we could decide for instance that the error code is the empty string).
But it seems more efficient to provide that info in "-list-features"
and then only add the error code when meaningful.

* gdb.mi/mi-undefined-cmd.exp: New testcase.
This patch adds a new GDB/MI command meant for graphical frontends
trying to determine whether a given GDB/MI command exists or not.
Examples:
-info-gdb-mi-command unsupported-command
^done,command={exists="false"}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true"}
(gdb)
At the moment, this is the only piece of information that this
command returns.
Eventually, and if needed, we can extend it to provide
command-specific pieces of information, such as updates to
the command's syntax since inception. This could become,
for instance:
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true",features=[]}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command catch-assert
^done,command={exists="true",features=["conditions"]}
In the first case, it would mean that no extra features,
while in the second, it announces that the -catch-assert
command in this version of the debugger supports a feature
called "condition" - exact semantics to be documented with
combined with the rest of the queried command's documentation.
But for now, we start small, and only worry about existance.
And to bootstrap the process, I have added an entry in the
output of the -list-features command as well ("info-gdb-mi-command"),
allowing the graphical frontends to go through the following process:
1. Send -list-features, collect info from there as before;
2. Check if the output contains "info-gdb-mi-command".
If it does, then support for various commands can be
queried though -info-gdb-mi-command. Newer commands
will be expected to always be checked via this new
-info-gdb-mi-command.

Frontend sometimes need to evaluate expressions that are
language-specific. For instance, Eclipse uses the following
expression to determine the size of an address on the target:
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C,
this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get...
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context."
... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result.
The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C
before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as:
1. save current language
2. set language c
3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
4. Restore language
This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context
Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting
the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of
general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead.
This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar
new command option: --language LANG. Example of use:
-data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)"
^done,value="4"
