This commit wraps calls to the demangler with a segmentation fault
handler. The first time a segmentation fault is caught a core file
is generated and the user is prompted to file a bug and offered the
choice to exit or to continue their GDB session. A maintainence
option is provided to allow the user to disable the crash handler
if required.

Currently a MEMORY_ERROR raised during unwinding a frame will cause the
unwind to stop with an error message, for example:
(gdb) bt
#0 breakpt () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:27
#1 0x00000000004008f0 in func5 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:32
#2 0x0000000000400900 in func4 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:38
#3 0x0000000000400910 in func3 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:44
#4 0x0000000000400928 in func2 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:50
Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000
However, frame #4 is marked as being the end of the stack unwind, so a
subsequent request for the backtrace looses the error message, such as:
(gdb) bt
#0 breakpt () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:27
#1 0x00000000004008f0 in func5 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:32
#2 0x0000000000400900 in func4 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:38
#3 0x0000000000400910 in func3 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:44
#4 0x0000000000400928 in func2 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:50
When fetching the backtrace, or requesting the stack depth using the MI
interface the situation is even worse, the first time a request is made
we encounter the memory error and so the MI returns an error instead of
the correct result, for example:
(gdb) -stack-info-depth
^error,msg="Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000"
Or,
(gdb) -stack-list-frames
^error,msg="Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000"
However, once one of these commands has been used gdb has, internally,
walked the stack and figured that out that frame #4 is the bottom of the
stack, so the second time an MI command is tried you'll get the "expected"
result:
(gdb) -stack-info-depth
^done,depth="5"
Or,
(gdb) -stack-list-frames
^done,stack=[frame={level="0", .. snip lots .. }]
After this patch the MEMORY_ERROR encountered during the frame unwind is
attached to frame #4 as the stop reason, and is displayed in the CLI each
time the backtrace is requested. In the MI, catching the error means that
the "expected" result is returned the first time the MI command is issued.
So, from the CLI the results of the backtrace will be:
(gdb) bt
#0 breakpt () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:27
#1 0x00000000004008f0 in func5 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:32
#2 0x0000000000400900 in func4 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:38
#3 0x0000000000400910 in func3 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:44
#4 0x0000000000400928 in func2 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:50
Backtrace stopped: Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000
Each and every time that the backtrace is requested, while the MI output
will similarly be consistently:
(gdb) -stack-info-depth
^done,depth="5"
Or,
(gdb) -stack-list-frames
^done,stack=[frame={level="0", .. snip lots .. }]

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.

Enabling target-async by default will require implementing sync
execution on top of an async target, much like foreground command are
implemented on the CLI in async mode.
In order to do that, we will need better control of when to print the
MI prompt. Currently the interp->display_prompt_p hook is all we
have, and MI just always returns false, meaning, make
display_gdb_prompt a no-op. We'll need to be able to know to print
the MI prompt in some of the conditions that display_gdb_prompt is
called from the core, but not all.
This is all a litte twisted currently. As we can see,
display_gdb_prompt is really CLI specific, so make the console
interpreters (console/tui) themselves call it. To be able to do that,
and add a few different observers that the interpreters can use to
distinguish when or why the the prompt is being printed:
#1 - one called whenever a command is cancelled due to an error.
#2 - another for when a foreground command just finished.
In both cases, CLI wants to print the prompt, while MI doesn't.
MI will want to print the prompt in the second case when in a special
MI mode.
The display_gdb_prompt call in interp_set made me pause. The comment
there reads:
/* Finally, put up the new prompt to show that we are indeed here.
Also, display_gdb_prompt for the console does some readline magic
which is needed for the console interpreter, at least... */
But, that looks very much like a no-op to me currently:
- the MI interpreter always return false in the prompt hook, meaning
actually display no prompt.
- the interpreter used at that point is still quiet. And the
console/tui interpreters return false in the prompt hook if they're
quiet, meaning actually display no prompt.
The only remaining possible use would then be the readline magic. But
whatever that might have been, it's not reacheable today either,
because display_gdb_prompt returns early, before touching readline if
the interpreter returns false in the display_prompt_p hook.

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.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target. E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run". That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended. Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.
With the patch, we now can have this instead:
(gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
*gdb disconnects*
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.
Before:
(gdb) target native
Use the "run" command to start a native process.
After:
(gdb) target native
Done. Use the "run" command to start a process.
(gdb) maint print target-stack
The current target stack is:
- native (Native process)
- exec (Local exec file)
- None (None)
(gdb) run
Starting program: ./a.out
...
I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode). With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target. Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core
On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before. This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged. The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:
have_inferiors (void)
{
for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
if (inf->pid != 0)
return 1;
It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check. To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.
Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.
Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.
Untested otherwise.

This does two things:
1. Adds a test.
Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition. This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.
2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.
Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet. The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself. This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO. While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program. That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that. This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.
I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver. I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

I think "set debugvarobj" has the wrong name.
It ought to be "set debug varobj", like gdb's other debug settings.
This patch makes the change.
I chose not to install deprecated aliases, since this is only a debug
setting; but if someone feels strongly about it I will add them.

When connecting to a remote system, we use the compare-sections
command to verify that the box is running the code that we think it is
running. Since the system is up and running and *NOT* 'freshly
downloaded without yet executing anything', read-write sections, of
course, differ from what they were in the executable file.
Comparing read-write sections takes time and more importantly the
MIS-MATCHED output is confusing to some users.
The compare-sections command compares all loadable sections including
read-write sections. This patch gives the user the option to compare
just the loadable read-only sections.

This patch adds support for the Intel(R) Advanced Vector
Extensions 512 (Intel(R) AVX-512) registers. Native and remote
debugging are covered by this patch.
Intel(R) AVX-512 is an extension to AVX to support 512-bit wide
SIMD registers in 64-bit mode (XMM0-XMM31, YMM0-YMM31, ZMM0-ZMM31).
The number of available registers in 32-bit mode is still 8
(XMM0-7, YMM0-7, ZMM0-7). The lower 256-bits of the ZMM registers
are aliased to the respective 256-bit YMM registers. The lower
128-bits are aliased to the respective 128-bit XMM registers.
There are also 8 new, dedicated mask registers (K0-K7) in both 32-bit
mode and 64-bit mode.

The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms,
gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first
because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared"
output does not get updated after the command completes:
(gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 No C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes").
As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely
independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent
loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated.
See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add
instead of calling solib_add.
But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get
updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's
actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe
that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered
address.
Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be
a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands
which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The
command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp
rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use
the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the
"dll-symbols" command. For instance:
(gdb) share rpcrt4.dll
Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared

Currently, Ada debugging requires the use of certain GNAT-specific
encodings, which are generated by the compiler. These encodings
were created a long time ago to work around the fairly limited
capabilities of the stabs debugging format. With DWARF, the vast
majority of the encodings could be abandoned in favor of a pure
DWARF approach.
In order to make it easier to evaluate the quality of the DWARF
debugging information generated by the compiler, and how the debugger
handles it, we are introducing a small Ada-specific maintenance
setting which changes the debugger's behavior to ignore descriptive
types. Descriptive types are artificial types generated by the
compiler purely to give the debugger hints as to how to properly
decode certain properties of a type. For instance, for array
types, it generates a parallel type whose name is the name of
the array suffixed with ___XA, whose contents tells us what
the array's index type is, and possibly its bounds. See GCC's
gcc/ada/exp_dbug.ads for the full description of all encodings.
This is only a first step, as this setting does not deactivate
all encodings; More settings dedicated to each type of encoding
will likely be implemented in the future, as we make progress.

Replay is limited in the sense that only stepping and source correlation
are supported. We do not record data and thus can not show variables.

Consider the following declarations:
typedef long our_time_t;
our_time_t current_time = 1384395743;
The purpose of this patch is to allow the use of a pretty-printer
for variables of type our_time_t. Normally, pretty-printing sniffers
use the tag name in order to determine which, if any, pretty-printer
should be used. But in the case above, the tag name is not set, since
it does not apply to integral types.
This patch extends the gdb.Type list of attributes to also include
the name of the type, thus allowing the sniffer to match against
that name. With that change, I was able to write a pretty-printer
which displays our variable as follow:
(gdb) print current_time
$1 = Thu Nov 14 02:22:23 2013 (1384395743)

[PATCH] Allow 64-bit enum values
http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00772.html
... introduced a change in the gdb.Fields API without documenting it:
| I took a separate approach from the one I took in:
|
| http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-02/msg00403.html
|
| and removed the overloaded meaning of the bitpos location variable to
| fix PR symtab/7259. In the following patch, I introduce a separate
| field_location union member 'enumval' which can accept LONGEST and
| hence expand enum values to 64-bit signed values. With this change,
| bitpos now only is used for (non-negative) offsets into structures,
| since the other overload of bitpos (range bounds) were already
| separated into struct range_bound.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect that change.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Types In Python): Fix the documentation of
attribute "bitpos" in class gdb.Field for enum types. Add
documentation for attribute "enumval" in that same class.

A number of commands provide the capability to query the debugger

I wanted to find the docs for "catch load" the other day, and I found
out that this isn't in the index. It seems to me that each command
ought to be in the index for quick reference like this, so this patch

manual does) for each "catch" subcommand.

... 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/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* 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.

Unfortunately, UNWIND_NULL_ID is exported to Python as
gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID so we can't really eliminate it.
(I'd assume scripts just check the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason,
and compare it to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NO_REASON. That at most, they'll
pass the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason to
gdb.frame_stop_reason_string. I'd prefer to just get rid of it, but
because we make an API promise, we get to keep this around for
compatibility, in case a script does refer to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID
directly.)

Similar to stack cache, in this patch, we add
TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read code from target and add a new
option "set code-cache on|off" to optimize code accesses by
using the target memory cache.
In V4:
- Remove "without affecting correctness" from NEWS and doc.
- Replace "ON" with "on" in doc.
- "access" -> "accesses".
In V3:
- Rename functions and variables.
- Update command help, doc and NEWS entry.
- Invalidate cache on option transitions, to align with
the behaviour of "stack-cache". Since cache invalidation is
transparent to users, users don't know option "stack-cache"
transitions cause code cache invalidation.
V2 was reviewed by Doug. There are some changes in V3, so I post it
here.

When I try to describe the cache and its related commands (in a
cache-per-address-space world), I find hard to add, because
existing doc is focused on remote debugging, while data cache is used
regardless of the target. More precisely, GDB cache target data,
instead of remote data.

Following the addition of the --language optiton to all GDB/MI
commands, I realized that there was no easy way for front-ends
to figure out whether this features is available or not. So I added
a "language-option" entry to -list-features.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add "language-options"
to -list-features output.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document the new
"language-option" entry in the output of the "-list-features"
command.
This patch fixes PR c++/16117.
gdb has an extension so that users can use expressions like FILE::NAME
to choose a variable of the given name from the given file. The bug
is that this extension takes precedence over ordinary C++ expressions
of the same form. You might think this is merely hypothetical, but
now that C++ headers commonly do not use an extension, it is more
common.
This patch fixes the bug by making two related changes. First, it
changes gdb to prefer the ordinary C++ meaning of a symbol over the
extended meaning. Second, it arranges for single-quoting of the
symbol to indicate a preference for the extension.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
New test case included.

This patch fixes a buglet in the manual.
It's wrong to say that a method is defined "as" a subclass.
Instead it should say that a method is defined "in" a subclass.
I'm checking this in under the obvious rule.

* gdb.texinfo (Breakpoints In Python): Replace "as" with "in".
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"

Rather than having -list-features report support for the GDB/MI
commands providing access to Ada exception catchpoints with one entry,
and the GDB/MI command providing the list of Ada exceptions with
a second entry, this patch merges it all within one single entry.
This is OK, because all these commands were added within a short
amount of time, and within the same release cycle; and it reduces
a bit the size of the output.

This patch does some cleanups, removing some language-related stuff.
Note that mi_cmd_var_info_expression uses varobj_language_string,
which is redundant, because we can get language name from
lang->la_natural_name.
varobj_language_string doesn't have "Ada", which looks like a bug to
me. With this patch applied, this problem doesn't exist, because the
language name is got from the same place (field la_natural_name).

Occasionaly we hear about people having problems with GDB not being
able to start programs (with "run"/"start"). GDB spawns a shell to
start the program, and most often, it'll be the case that the problem
is actually with the user's shell setup.
GDB has code to disable the use of the shell to start programs.
That's the STARTUP_WITH_SHELL macro that native targets could set to 0
in their nm.h file (though no target actually uses it nowadays).
This patch makes that setting a run-time knob instead. This will be
useful to quickly diagnose such shell issues, and might also come in
handy at other times (such as when debugging the shell itself, if you
don't have a different shell handy).

This patch adds documentation for the new GDB/MI commands "-catch-assert"
and "-catch-exception", meant to provide the same functionality as
the "catch assert", "catch exception" and "catch exception unhandled"
CLI commands.
In the GDB Manual, there was already a section for catchpoint comments,
so that seemed like a natural place to document the new commands. But
commands related to a given concept seem to have traditionally been
organized alphabetically, and I didn't want future commands to break
down logical pairing of various commands. For instance, "-catch-load"
and "-catch-unload" are quite "distant" from each other, and it is easy
to imagine a new comment which would alphabetically fall in between,
causing them to be separated. So I introduced subsections to prevent
that from happening.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Add entry documenting the new "-catch-assert" and
"-catch-exception" GDB/MI commands.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Shared Library GDB/MI Catchpoint Commands):
New subsection inside which the "-catch-load" and "-catch-unload"
commands documentation is now placed.
(Ada Exception GDB/MI Catchpoint Commands): New subsection
documenting the "-catch-assert" and "-catch-exception" new
GDB/MI commands.
