* Make tests expect [ \t]+ pattern instead of \t for "info reg" commandRuslan Kabatsayev2018-01-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will allow to format output of "info reg" command as we wish, without breaking the tests. In particular, it'll let us correctly align raw and natural values of the registers using spaces instead of current badly-working approach with tabs. This change is forwards- and backwards-compatible, so that the amended tests will work in the same way before and after reformatting patches (unless the tests check formatting, of course, but I've not come across any such tests). Some tests already used this expected pattern, so they didn't even have to be modified. Others are changed by this patch. I've checked this on a i386 system, with no noticeable differences in test results, so at least on i386 nothing seems to be broken by this. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.arch/powerpc-d128-regs.exp: Replace expected "\[\t\]*" from "info reg" with "\[ \t\]*". * gdb.arch/altivec-regs.exp: Replace expected "\t" from "info reg" with "\[ \t\]+". * gdb.arch/s390-multiarch.exp: Ditto. * gdb.base/pc-fp.exp: Ditto. * gdb.reverse/i386-precsave.exp: Ditto. * gdb.reverse/i386-reverse.exp: Ditto. * gdb.reverse/i387-env-reverse.exp: Ditto. * gdb.reverse/i387-stack-reverse.exp: Ditto.
* Fix gdb segv when objfile can't be openedMike Gulick2018-01-174-0/+228
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes PR 16577. This patch changes gdb_bfd_map_section to issue a warning rather than an error if it is unable to read the object file, and sets the size of the section/frame that it attempted to read to 0 on error. The description of gdb_bfd_map_section states that it will try to read or map the contents of the section SECT, and if successful, the section data is returned and *SIZE is set to the size of the section data. This function was throwing an error and leaving *SIZE as-is. Setting the section size to 0 indicates to dwarf2_build_frame_info that there is no data to read, otherwise it will try to read from an invalid frame pointer. Changing the error to a warning allows this to be handled gracefully. Additionally, the error was clobbering the breakpoint output indicating the current frame (function name, arguments, source file, and line number). E.g. Thread 3 "foo" hit Breakpoint 1, BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna2973250704389291330.tmp: No such file or directory BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna2973250704389291330.tmp: No such file or directory (gdb) While the "BFD: reopening ..." messages will still appear interspersed in the breakpoint output, the current frame info is now displayed: Thread 3 "foo" hit Breakpoint 1, BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna1875755897659885075.tmp: No such file or directory BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna1875755897659885075.tmp: No such file or directory warning: Can't read data for section '.eh_frame' in file '/tmp/jna-1013829440/jna1875755897659885075.tmp' do_something () at file.cpp:80 80 { (gdb)

* Add testcase for GDB hang fixed by previous commitPedro Alves2018-01-122-0/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a testcase for the previous commit. The regression was related to in-line step overs. The reason we didn't see it on native x86-64/s390 GNU/Linux testing is that native debugging uses displaced stepping by default (because native debugging defaults to "maint set target-non-stop on"), unlike remote debugging. So in order to trigger the bug with native debugging as well, the testcase disables displaced stepping explicitly. Also, instead of using watchpoints to trigger the regression, the testcase uses a breakpoint at address 0, which should be more portable. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2018-01-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/continue-after-aborted-step-over.c: New. * gdb.base/continue-after-aborted-step-over.exp: New.

* Implement pahole-like 'ptype /o' optionSergio Durigan Junior2017-12-152-0/+511
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever there is a hole found. The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications here and there to adjust it to our reality. Here's an example: /* offset | size */ type = struct wer : public tuv { public: /* 32 | 24 */ struct tyu { /* 32:31 | 4 */ int a1 : 1; /* 32:28 | 4 */ int a2 : 3; /* 32: 5 | 4 */ int a3 : 23; /* 35: 3 | 1 */ char a4 : 2; /* XXX 3-bit hole */ /* XXX 4-byte hole */ /* 40 | 8 */ int64_t a5; /* 48:27 | 4 */ int a6 : 5; /* 48:56 | 8 */ int64_t a7 : 3; /* total size (bytes): 24 */ } a1; /* total size (bytes): 56 */ } A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype', which is a bit messy. The code to handle bitfield offsets, however, took some time to craft. My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase for comments). After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to implement printing vtables and inherited classes. Unfortunately the code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing so I had to drop the attempt. This should be implemented in a future patch. This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local patches we carry for Fedora GDB. In this specific case, I'm aiming at upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is shipped with Fedora GDB: <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311> This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot. There's a new testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation.

* fix "server" command prefix handling (unexpected confirmation queries)Joel Brobecker2017-12-122-0/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "server" command prefix no longer turns confirmation queries off. We can reproduce this with any program by tring to delete all breakpoints, for instance: (gdb) break main Breakpoint 1 at 0x40049b: file /[...]/break-fun-addr1.c, line 21. (gdb) server delete breakpoints Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) GDB should not be asking "Delete all breakpoints? (y or n)", but instead just delete all breakpoints without asking for confirmation. Looking at utils.c::defaulted_query gives a glimpse of how this feature is expected to work: /* Automatically answer the default value if the user did not want prompts or the command was issued with the server prefix. */ if (!confirm || server_command) return def_value; So, it relies on the server_command global to be set when the "server " command prefix is used, which is no longer the case since the following commit: commit b69d38afdea34e4fecab5ea47ffe1e594e0b6233 Date: Wed Mar 9 18:25:00 2016 +0000 Subject: Command line input handling TLC The patch was simplifying the handling for the command line, and I believe there was just a small oversight of removing the setting of the server_command global.

* Fix regression in "commands"Tom Tromey2017-12-071-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pedro pointed out a regression in "commands", where trying to clear a breakpoint's command list would fail: (top-gdb) commands Type commands for breakpoint(s) 3, one per line. End with a line saying just "end". >end No breakpoints specified. (top-gdb) I believe the bug was introduced by my patch that changes counted_command_line to be a shared_ptr.

The implementation proposed here is an extension of the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never resubmitted: - The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at least initially; - The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the other debug format. - Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways? One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay. This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the 'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands. It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are passed.

* Make '{add-,}symbol-file' not care about the position of command line argumentsSergio Durigan Junior2017-12-011-0/+86
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a bug that's been detected while doing the readnever work. If you use 'symbol-file' or 'add-symbol-file', the position of each argument passed to the command matters. This means that if you do: (gdb) symbol-file -readnow /foo/bar The symbol file specified will (correctly) have all of its symbols read by GDB (because of the -readnow flag). However, if you do: (gdb) symbol-file /foo/bar -readnow GDB will silently ignore the -readnow flag, because it was specified after the filename. This is not a good thing to do and may confuse the user. To address that, I've modified the argument parsing mechanisms of symbol_file_command and add_symbol_file_command to be "position-independent". I have also added one error call at the end of add_symbol_file_command's argument parsing logic, which now clearly complains if no filename has been specified. Both commands now support the "--" option to stop argument processing. This patch provides a testcase for both commands, in order to make sure that the argument order does not matter. It has been regression-tested on BuildBot. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-12-01 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * symfile.c (symbol_file_command): Call 'symbol_file_add_main_1' only after processing all command line options.

* Add support for the readnever conceptSergio Durigan Junior2017-12-012-0/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never resubmitted: - The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at least initially; - The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the other debug format. - Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways? One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay. This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the 'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands. It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are passed.

Here's a contrived example: (gdb) b func<tab> (anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int) (anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function() (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function() (anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) (anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func() A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function() A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func() B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function() B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int) B::function() const func() gdb::function(long) B::function_const() const function() (gdb) b function Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations) (gdb) b B::function<tab> (anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function() (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() (gdb) b B::function Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations) To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q") option/flag (added by this commit). For example: (gdb) b B::function (anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function() (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() vs: (gdb) b -qualified B::function B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or "fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function". Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit locations. I.e., these are equivalent: (gdb) b -q func (gdb) b -q -f func and so are these: (gdb) b -q filename.cc:func (gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func (gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func (gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default, consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically. (At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the "llvm" namespace.) Implementation-wise, what the patch does is: - makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by last-component name only). - adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD, which ignores missing leading specifiers / components. - adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when they mean it. - adds new testsuite tests. - adds unit tests.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This second patch introduces mfpr_float_ops, an new implementation of target_float_ops. This implements precise emulation of target floating-point formats using the MPFR library. This is then used to perform operations on types that do not match any host type. Note that use of MPFR is still not required. The patch adds a configure option --with-mpfr similar to --with-expat. If use of MPFR is disabled via the option or MPFR is not available, code will fall back to current behavior. This means that operations on types that do not match any host type will be implemented on the host long double type instead. A new test case verifies that we can correctly print the largest __float128 value now. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-22 Ulrich Weigand <uweigand@de.ibm.com> * NEWS: Document use of GNU MPFR. * README: Likewise. * Makefile.in (LIBMPFR): Add define.

E.g., on 'x86-64 -m32', I see: ... FAIL: gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp: lang=c: cast: whatis (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef (invalid) FAIL: gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp: lang=c: cast: ptype (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef (invalid) ... gdb.log: (gdb) whatis (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef type = float_typedef (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp: lang=c: cast: whatis (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef (invalid) As Simon explained [1], the issue boils down to the fact that on 64-bit, this is an invalid cast: (gdb) p (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef Invalid cast. while on 32 bits it is valid: (gdb) p (float_typedef) v_uchar_array_t_struct_typedef $1 = 1.16251721e-41 The expression basically tries to cast an array (which decays to a pointer) to a float. The cast works on 32 bits because a float and a pointer are of the same size, and value_cast works in that case: ~~~ More general than a C cast: accepts any two types of the same length, and if ARG2 is an lvalue it can be cast into anything at all. */ ~~~ On 64 bits, they are not the same size, so it ends throwing the "Invalid cast" error. The testcase is expecting the invalid cast behavior, thus the FAILs. A point of these tests was to cover as many code paths in value_cast as possible, as a sort of documentation of the current behavior: # The main idea here is testing all the different paths in the # value casting code in GDB (value_cast), making sure typedefs are # preserved. ... # We try all combinations, even those that don't parse, or are # invalid, to catch the case of a regression making them # inadvertently valid. For example, these convertions are # invalid: ... In that spirit, this commit makes the testcase adjust itself depending on size of floats and pointers, and also test floats of different sizes. Passes cleanly on x86-64 GNU/Linux both -m64/-m32.

The first is a double-prompt problem: ~~~ (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/starti.exp: hook-stop starti [....] gdb_expect_list pattern: /\$1 = 0/ $1 = 0 gdb_expect_list pattern: // 0x00007ffff7ddcc80 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (gdb) # EXPECTED PROMPT (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/starti.exp: starti # ANOTHER PROMPT! break main ~~~ This happens because the test uses gdb_test_sequence with no command, like this: gdb_test_sequence "" "starti" { "Program stopped." "\\$1 = 0" } but gdb_test_sequence doesn't have a check for empty command like gdb_test_multiple does, and so sends "\n" to GDB: proc gdb_test_sequence { command test_name expected_output_list } { global gdb_prompt if { $test_name == "" } { set test_name $command } lappend expected_output_list ""; # implicit ".*" before gdb prompt send_gdb "$command\n" return [gdb_expect_list $test_name "$gdb_prompt $" $expected_output_list] } "starti" is a no-repeat command, so pressing <ret> just makes another prompt appear, confusing the following gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc. Even with that fixed, the testcase is still racy though. The second problem is that sometimes the "continue" test times out here: ~~~ continue Continuing. $2 = 1 gdb_expect_list pattern: /.*Breakpoint .*main \(\) at .*starti.c.*/ Breakpoint 1, main () at /home/pedro/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/starti.c:29 29 return 0; (gdb) gdb_expect_list pattern: // * hung here * ~~~ The problem is that the too-greedy ".*" trailing match in gdb_expect_list's pattern ends up consuming GDB's prompt too soon.

We already rejected negative number literals, but you could still subvert that via convenience variables, like: (gdb) set $bp -1 (gdb) disable $bp.1-2 The change to get_number_trailer fixes a bug exposed by the new tests.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a breakpoint has multiple locations, like e.g.: Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE> 1.1 y 0x080486a2 in void foo<int>()... 1.2 y 0x080486ca in void foo<double>()... [....] 1.5 y 0x080487fa in void foo<long>()... it's possible to enable/disable the individual locations using the '<breakpoint_number>.<location_number>' syntax, like e.g.: (gdb) disable 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 That's inconvenient when you have a long list of locations to disable, however. This patch adds shorthand for the above, by making it possible to specify a range of locations with the following syntax (similar to thread id ranges): <breakpoint_number>.<first_location_number>-<last_location_number> For example, the command above can now be simplified to: (gdb) disable 1.2-5 gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-07 Xavier Roirand <roirand@adacore.com> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * breakpoint.c (map_breakpoint_number_range): New, factored out from ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch at <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-11/msg00039.html> was proposing to add an assertion to child_terminal_init that turns out would fail if you tried to attach to a process that isn't a process group leader. Since the testsuite failed to catch the problem, this commit adds a new testcase that would catch it, like: (gdb) attach 12415 Attaching to program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/attach-non-pgrp-leader/attach-non-pgrp-leader, process 12415 src/gdb/inflow.c:180: internal-error: void child_terminal_init(target_ops*): Assertion `getpgid (inf->pid) == inf->pid' failed.

* Fix 'gdb.base/quit.exp hangs forever' if the test failsPedro Alves2017-10-201-9/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The [wait -i $gdb_spawn_id] in the test is dangerous in the sense that it won't be subject to timeout logic. So if GDB fails quiting, this testcase hangs forever, hanging the test run with it. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00728.html Instead of 'wait'ing directly, use gdb_test_multiple and expect 'eof'. Tested that the testcase no longer hangs by hacking the test to send "info threads" instead of "quit". Tested with --target_board={unix, native-gdbserver,native-extended-gdbserver} and tested with --host_board=local-remote-host as well. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-10-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/quit.exp: Use gdb_test_multiple and expect 'eof' before 'wait -i'.

* Add several "quit with live inferior" testsPedro Alves2017-10-172-0/+205
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In my multi-target branch, I had managed to break GDB exiting successfuly in response to "quit" or SIGHUP/SIGTERM when: - you're debugging with "target extended-remote", - have more than one inferior loaded in gdb, some running, and at least one not running, and, - quit gdb with the inferior that is not running yet selected. The testsuite still passed cleanly anyway. I only noticed because I was left with a bunch of core dumps in the gdb/testsuite/ directory -- the testsuite infrastructure closes GDB's pty after running each testcase, which results in GDB getting a SIGHUP and should make GDB exit gracefully. If GDB crashes at that point though, there's no indication about it in gdb.sum/gdb.log. This commit adds a multitude of tests exercising quitting GDB with live inferiors, some of which would have caught the problem. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-10-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/quit-live.c: New file. * gdb.base/quit-live.exp: New file.

Instead, it reads variables off of the inferior to extract the necessary information. Along the way, most of the .exp file is reimplemented/cleaned up using more modern mechanisms. E.g., with_test_prefix, proc_with_prefix, save_vars, etc. Also, a missing check for "is_remote host" is added. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-10-13 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/testenv.exp: Check use_gdb_stub instead of is_remote.

I first wrote the gdb.base/scope.exp change described in the ChangeLog below and in the new comments in the patch, knowing that gdb_file_cmd was the right thing to use here. However, that revealed that the native-extended-gdbserver board should be overriding gdb_file_cmd+gdb_reload instead of gdb_load, as is hinted at by the comments on top of the default implementations in testsuite/lib/gdb.exp, because otherwise a gdb_run_cmd after gdb_file_cmd misses setting "set remote exec-file". However, if we do that and remove gdb_load, then we regress gdb.base/dbx.exp, so for now keep the gdb_load override as well. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-10-13 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/scope.exp: Use build_executable + clean_restart + gdb_file_cmd instead of prepare_for_testing and no longer skip "before run" tests on is_remote target boards.
