immediate_quit used to be necessary back when prompt_for_continue used
blocking fread, but nowadays it uses gdb_readline_wrapper, which is
implemented in terms of a nested event loop, which already knows how
to react to SIGINT:
#0 throw_it (reason=RETURN_QUIT, error=GDB_NO_ERROR, fmt=0x9d6d7e "Quit", ap=0x7fffffffcb88)
at .../src/gdb/common/common-exceptions.c:324

The need for the QUIT in stdin_event_handler is then exposed by the
gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp test, which has:
# We're now stopped in a pagination query while handling a
# target event (printing where the program stopped). Quitting
# the pagination should result in only one prompt being
# output.
send_gdb "\003p 1\n"
Without that change we'd get:

* event-top.c (stdin_event_handler): Call QUIT;
(prompt_for_continue): Don't run with immediate_quit set.
When gdb is started in MI mode, the output of gdb.execute
command is in MI-format in case when it is executed from python stop
handler while for all other cases the output is in console-format.
To assure consistent output format, this is fixed by using the console
format for all python gdb command executions.

Note this has to work with data and function pointers. In C++11 we
may perhaps do something a bit safer, but we're not there yet, and I
don't think it really matters. For now just always do a simple
C-style cast in host_address_to_string itself. No point in adding a
void * cast to each and every caller.

Currently, when remote debugging, if you type Ctrl-C just while the
target stopped for an internal event, and GDB is busy doing something
that takes a while (e.g., fetching chunks of a shared library off of
the target, with vFile, to process ELF headers and debug info), the
Ctrl-C is lost.
The patch hooks up the QUIT macro to a new target method that lets the
target react to the double-Ctrl-C before the event loop is reached,
which allows reacting to a double-Ctrl-C even when GDB is busy doing
some long operation and not waiting for a stop reply. That end result
is:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
Interrupted while waiting for the program.
Give up waiting? (y or n) y
Quit
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 11673 0x00007ffff7deb240 in _dl_debug_state () from target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb)
If, however, GDB is waiting for a stop reply (because the target has
been resumed, with e.g., vCont;c), but the target isn't responding, we
now get:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
The target is not responding to interrupt requests.
Stop debugging it? (y or n) y
Disconnected from target.
(gdb) info threads
No threads.
This offers to disconnect, because when we're waiting for a stop
reply, there's nothing else we can send the target other than an
interrupt request. And if that doesn't work, there's nothing else we
can do.
The Ctrl-C is presently lost because until we get to a user-visible
stop, the SIGINT handler that is installed is the one that forwards
the interrupt to the remote side, with the \003 "packet" [1]. But,
gdbserver ignores an interrupt request if the program is stopped.
Still, even if it didn't, the server can only report back a
stop-because-of-SIGINT when the program is next resumed. And it may
take a while to actually re-resume the target.
[1] - In the old sync days, the remote target would react to a
double-Ctrl-C by asking users whether they wanted to give up waiting
and disconnect. The code is still there, but it it isn't reacheable
on most hosts, which support serial connections in async mode
(probably only DJGPP doesn't). Even then, in sync mode, remote.c's
SIGINT handler is only installed while the target is resumed, and is
removed as soon as the target sends back a stop reply. That means
that a Ctrl-C just while GDB is processing an internal event can end
up with an odd "Quit" at the prompt instead of "Program stopped by
SIGINT". In contrast, in async mode, remote.c's SIGINT handler is set
up as long as target_terminal_inferior or
target_terminal_ours_for_output are in effect (IOW, until we get a
user-visible stop and call target_terminal_ours), so the user
shouldn't get back a spurious Quit. However, it's still desirable to
be able to interrupt a long-running GDB operation, if GDB takes a
while to re-resume the target or get back to the event loop.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

After the last gnulib import (Dec 2012), gnulib upstream started
replacing mingw's 'struct timeval' with a version with 64-bit time_t,
for POSIX compliance:
commit f8e84098084b3b53bc6943a5542af1f607ffd477
Author: Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
Date: Sat Jan 28 18:12:10 2012 +0100
sys_time: Override 'struct timeval' on some native Windows platforms.
See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00372.html
However, that results in conflicts with native Winsock2's 'select':
select()'s argument
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/29610438/
... and libiberty's timeval-utils.h timeval_add/timeval_sub, at the
least.
We don't really need the POSIX compliance, so this patch prepares us
to simply not use gnulib's 'struct timeval' replacement once a more
recent gnulib is imported, thus preserving the current behavior, by
adding a sys/time.h wrapper header that undefs gnulib's replacements,
and including that everywhere instead.
The SIZE -> OSIZE change is necessary because newer gnulib's
sys/time.h also includes windows.h/winsock2.h, which defines a
conflicting SIZE symbol.
Cross build-tested mingw-w64 32-bit and 64-bit.
Regtested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This patch is mostly extracted from Pedro's C++ branch. It adds explicit
casts from integer to enum types, where it is really the intention to do
so. This could be because we are ...
* iterating on enum values (we need to iterate on an equivalent integer)
* converting from a value read from bytes (dwarf attribute, agent
expression opcode) to the equivalent enum
* reading the equivalent integer value from another language (Python/Guile)
An exception to that is the casts in regcache.c. It seems to me like
struct regcache's register_status field could be a pointer to an array of
enum register_status. Doing so would waste a bit of memory (4 bytes
used by the enum vs 1 byte used by the current signed char, for each
register). If we switch to C++11 one day, we can define the underlying
type of an enum type, so we could have the best of both worlds.

The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual.
Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really
be using the --xdb switch.
I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I
looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked
potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias
for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end".
I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially
more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated,
e.g., for golang).

Using type bool from stdbool unfortunately causes problems trying
to build GDB on AiX and Solaris:
In file included from ../../src/gdb/utils.h:24:0,
from ../../src/gdb/defs.h:707,
from ../../src/gdb/utils.c:20:
/[...]/curses.h:96:14: error: two or more data types in declaration
specifiers
typedef char bool;
^
make[2]: *** [utils.o] Error 1
In theory, the problem is in curses.h which, in both cases, do
something similar. On Solaris:
#if !defined(__cplusplus) && !defined(_BOOL)
typedef char bool;
#endif /* !defined(__cplusplus) && !defined(_BOOL) */
On AiX:
#if !defined(__cplusplus) || (defined(__IBMCPP__) &&(__IBMCPP__<400))
#ifndef _BOOL
#define _BOOL
typedef int bool;
#endif
#endif
You can reproduce the same problem by trying to compile:
% cat toto.c
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <curses.h>
% gcc -c toto.c
In file included from toto.c:1:0:
/[...]/curses.h:159:13: error: two or more data types in declaration
specifiers
typedef int bool;
^
This specific issue wouldn't occur if we included curses.h before
including stdbool.h, and I looked at that just to be complete.
Here is a small schematic representation of the include logic:
* utils.c:
-> defs.h -> utils.h -> stdbool.h
-> gdb_curses.h -> curses.h
Because defs.h should always be first on the list, it means that
stdbool.h will always necessarily be included ahead of curses.h.
But, thinking beyond this very specific issue, it shows that using
stdbool.h is going to cause problems on these systems until either
GCC fixes those includes in a way that makes them work; or we switch
to C++.
In the meantime, I think the path of least resistance is to revert
the use of stdbool.h, and use integers, the way we've done up until
now. The benefits of using type "bool" are modest, IMO, so not
a great loss, and a temporary one.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.h: Remove <stdbool.h> #include.
(producer_is_gcc): Change return type to "int".
* utils.c (producer_is_gcc): Change return type to int.
Return 1 instead of true, and 0 instead of false.
Adjust function documentation accordingly.
Both dwarf2read.c (checkproducer) and utils.c (producer_is_gcc_ge_4)
implemented a GCC producer parser that tried to extract the major and minor
version of GCC. Merge them into one GCC producer parser used by both. Also
allow digits in the identifier after "GNU " such as used by GCC5 like:
"GNU C11 5.0.0 20150123 (experimental) -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -gdwarf-5"
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (checkproducer): Call producer_is_gcc.
* utils.c (producer_is_gcc_ge_4): Likewise.
(producer_is_gcc): New function.
* utils.h (producer_is_gcc): New declaration.
This patch primarily rewrites defaulted_query() to use
gdb_readline_wrapper() to prompt the user for input, like
prompt_for_continue() does. The motivation for this rewrite is to be
able to reuse the default query hook in TUI, obviating the need for a
custom TUI query hook.
However, having TUI use the default query mechanism exposed a couple of
latent bugs in tui_redisplay_readline() related to the handling of
multi-line prompts, in particular GDB's multi-line quit prompt.
The first issue is an off-by-one error in the calculation of the height
of the prompt. The check in question should be col <= prev_col, not c <
prev_col, to properly account for the case when a prompt contains
multiple consecutive newlines. Failing to do so makes TUI have the
wrong idea of the vertical height of the prompt. This patch fixes the
column check.
The second issue is that cur_line does not get updated to reflect the
cursor position if the user's prompt cursor is at the end of the prompt
(i.e. if rl_point == rl_end). cur_line only gets updated if rl_point
lies between 0..rl_end-1 because that is the bounds of the for loop
responsible for updating cur_line. This patch changes the loop's bounds
to 0..rl_end so that cur_line always gets updated.
With these two bug fixes out of the way, the default query mechanism
works well in TUI even with multi-line prompts like GDB's quit prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (defaulted_query): Rewrite to use gdb_readline_wrapper
to prompt for input.
* tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_query_hook): Remove.
(tui_install_hooks): Don't set deprecated_query_hook.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_redisplay_readline): Fix off-by-one error in
height calculation. Always update the command window's cur_line.
I see the error message "access outside bounds of object referenced
via synthetic pointer" in the two fails below of mips gdb testing
print d[-2]^M
access outside bounds of object referenced via synthetic pointer^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/implptrconst.exp: print d[-2]
(gdb) print/d p[-1]^M
access outside bounds of object referenced via synthetic pointer^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/implptrpiece.exp: print/d p[-1]
in the first test, 'd[-2]' is processed by GDB as '* (&d[-2])'. 'd'
is a synthetic pointer, so its value is zero, the address of 'd[-2]'
is -2. In dwarf2loc.c:indirect_pieced_value,
/* This is an offset requested by GDB, such as value subscripts.
However, due to how synthetic pointers are implemented, this is
always presented to us as a pointer type. This means we have to
sign-extend it manually as appropriate. */
byte_offset = value_as_address (value);
if (TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (value)) < sizeof (LONGEST))
byte_offset = gdb_sign_extend (byte_offset,
8 * TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (value)));
byte_offset += piece->v.ptr.offset;
We know that the value is really an offset instead of address, so the
fix is to extract the value as an (signed) offset.

Since gnulib alloca module was imported, we can include alloca.h in
both gdb and gdbserver unconditionally, so this patch adds inclusion
of alloca.h in common-defs.h. This patch also removes AC_FUNC_ALLOCA
in configure.ac because we don't need to check alloca any more.
This patch below is removed in fact.
[RFA/commit] include alloca.h if available.
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00566.html
Since alloca.h is from gnulib now, we don't have to check malloc.h in
configure and include malloc.h in code. This patch also remove them
too.

warning will crash if called before the first call to set_width. This
commit makes the warning usable from the moment gdb_stderr is set up.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (vwarning): Protect calls to target_terminal_ours
and wrap_here.
internal_vproblem can be called (via malloc_failure) from almost the
first line of captured_main, but it will crash if called before the
first call to set_width. This commit makes internal_vproblem work
at any time.
There are two parts to this. If called before gdb_stderr is set up,
internal_vproblem will fall back to printing the message on regular
stderr and aborting. If called after gdb_stderr is set up but before
filtered printing is set up, internal_vproblem will operate as usual
except that it can not query whether to quit and/or dump core so it
defaults to doing both.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.h (filtered_printing_initialized): New declaration.
* utils.c (abort_with_message): New function.
(internal_vproblem): Use abort_with_message for first level
recursive internal problems, and if gdb_stderr is not set up.
Protect calls to target_terminal_ours, begin_line and query.
This introduces common/errors.h. This holds some error- and warning-

While working on internal_vproblem I noticed that the error/warning
message is suppressed if problem->should_quit is internal_problem_yes
or internal_problem_no. This behaviour seems wrong. This commit
modifies internal_vproblem to emit the message regardless of the
user's settings.

GDB and gdbserver have functions named "fatal" that are used in
completely different ways. In gdbserver "fatal" is used to handle
critical errors: it differs from "error" in that "fatal" causes
gdbserver to exit whereas "error" does not. In GDB "fatal" is used
to abort the current operation and return to the command level.
This is implemented by throwing a non-error "RETURN_QUIT" exception.
This commit removes GDB's "fatal" and "vfatal" functions entirely.
The exception-throwing function "throw_vfatal" is renamed as
"throw_vquit", and a new convenience function "throw_quit" is added.
The small number of calls to "fatal" are replaced with calls to
"throw_quit", making what is happening more obvious.
This commit also modifies GDB's "throw_error" to call "throw_verror"
rather than calling "throw_it" directly. This change means the
assignment of RETURN_ERROR as the exception type now happens in
precisely one place in GDB rather than two.

This fixes PR gdb/17130.
The bug is that some code in utils.c was not updated during the target
delegation change:
if (job_control
/* If there is no terminal switching for this target, then we can't
possibly get screwed by the lack of job control. */
|| current_target.to_terminal_ours == NULL)
fatal ("Quit");
else
fatal ("Quit (expect signal SIGINT when the program is resumed)");
After the delegation change, to_terminal_ours will never be NULL.
I think this bug can be seen before the target delegation change by
enabling target debugging -- this would also cause to_terminal_ours to
be non-NULL.
The fix is to introduce a new target_supports_terminal_ours function,
that properly checks the target stack. This is not perhaps ideal, but
I think is a reasonable-enough approach, and in keeping with some
other existing code of the same form.
This patch also fixes a similar bug in target_supports_delete_record.
