gdb: Replace operator new / operator new[]
If xmalloc fails allocating memory, usually because something tried a
huge allocation, like xmalloc(-1) or some such, GDB asks the user what
to do:
.../src/gdb/utils.c:1079: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
If the user says "n", that throws a QUIT exception, which is caught by
one of the multiple CATCH(RETURN_MASK_ALL) blocks somewhere up the
stack.
The default implementations of operator new / operator new[] call
malloc directly, and on memory allocation failure throw
std::bad_alloc. Currently, if that happens, since nothing catches it,
the exception escapes out of main, and GDB aborts from unhandled
exception.
This patch replaces the default operator new variants with versions
that, just like xmalloc:
#1 - Raise an internal-error on memory allocation failure.
#2 - Throw a QUIT gdb_exception, so that the exact same CATCH blocks
continue handling memory allocation problems.
A minor complication of #2 is that operator new can _only_ throw
std::bad_alloc, or something that extends it:
void* operator new (std::size_t size) throw (std::bad_alloc);
That means that if we let a gdb QUIT exception escape from within
operator new, the C++ runtime aborts due to unexpected exception
thrown.
So to bridge the gap, this patch adds a new gdb_quit_bad_alloc
exception type that inherits both std::bad_alloc and gdb_exception,
and throws _that_.
If we decide that we should be catching memory allocation errors in
fewer places than all the places we currently catch them (everywhere
we use RETURN_MASK_ALL currently), then we could change operator new
to throw plain std::bad_alloc then. But I'm considering such a change
as separate matter from this one -- it'd make sense to do the same to
xmalloc at the same time, for instance.
Meanwhile, this allows using new/new[] instead of xmalloc/XNEW/etc.
without losing the "virtual memory exhausted" internal-error
safeguard.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23.

/* Reasons for calling throw_exceptions(). NOTE: all reason values

Eliminate catch_exceptions/catch_exceptions_with_msg
This patch gets rid of catch_exceptions / catch_exceptions_with_msg.
The latter is done mostly by getting rid of the three remaining
vestigial libgdb wrapper functions, which are really pointless
nowadays. This results in a good number of simplifications.
(I checked that Insight doesn't use those functions.)
The gdb.mi/mi-pthreads.exp change is necessary because this actually
fixes a bug, IMO -- the patch stops MI's -thread-select causing output
on the CLI stream.
I.e., before:
-thread-select 123456789
&"Thread ID 123456789 not known.\n"
^error,msg="Thread ID 123456789 not known."
(gdb)
After:
-thread-select 123456789
^error,msg="Thread ID 123456789 not known."

Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH
If we map GDB'S TRY/CATCH macros to C++ try/catch, GDB breaks on
systems where readline isn't built with exceptions support. The
problem is that readline calls into GDB through the callback
interface, and if GDB's callback throws a C++ exception/error, the
system unwinder won't manage to unwind past the readline frame, and
ends up calling std::terminate(), which aborts the process:
(gdb) whatever-command-that-causes-an-error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted
$
This went unnoticed for so long because:
- the x86-64 ABI requires -fasynchronous-unwind-tables, making it
possible for exceptions to cross readline with no special handling.
But e.g., on ARM or AIX, unless you build readline with
-fexceptions, you trip on the problem.
- TRY/CATCH was mapped to setjmp/longjmp, even in C++ mode, until
quite recently.
The fix is to catch and save any GDB exception that is thrown inside
the GDB readline callback, and then once the callback returns back to
the GDB code that called into readline in the first place, rethrow the
saved GDB exception.
This is similar in spirit to how we catch/map GDB exceptions at the
GDB/Python and GDB/Guile API boundaries.
The next question is then: if we intercept all exceptions within GDB's
readline callback, should we simply return normally to readline? The
callback prototype has no way to signal an error back to readline (*).
The answer is no -- if we return normally, we'll be returning to a
loop inside rl_callback_read_char that continues processing pending
input, calling into GDB again, redisplaying the prompt, etc. Thus if
we want to error out of rl_callback_read_char, we need to long jump
across it, just like we always did before TRY/CATCH were ever mapped
to C++ exceptions.
My first approach built a specialized API to handle this, with a
couple macros to hide the setjmp/longjmp and the struct gdb_exception
saving/rethrowing.
However, I realized that we need to:
- Handle multiple active rl_callback_read_char invocations. If,
while processing input something triggers a secondary prompt, we
end up in a nested rl_callback_read_char call, through
gdb_readline_wrapper.
- Propagate a struct gdb_exception along with the longjmp.
... and that this is exactly what the setjmp/longjmp-based TRY/CATCH
does.
So the fix makes the setjmp/longjmp TRY/CATCH always available under
new TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ aliases, even when TRY/CATCH is mapped to C++
try/catch, and then uses TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ to propagate GDB
exceptions across the readline callback.
This turns out to be a much better looking fix than my bespoke API
attempt, even. We'll probably be able to simplify TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ
when we finally get rid of TRY/CATCH all over the tree, but until
then, this reuse seems quite nice for avoiding a second parallel
setjmp/longjmp mechanism.
(*) - maybe we could propose a readline API change, but we still need
to handle current readline, anyway.

Split TRY_CATCH into TRY + CATCH
This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH
If we map GDB'S TRY/CATCH macros to C++ try/catch, GDB breaks on
systems where readline isn't built with exceptions support. The
problem is that readline calls into GDB through the callback
interface, and if GDB's callback throws a C++ exception/error, the
system unwinder won't manage to unwind past the readline frame, and
ends up calling std::terminate(), which aborts the process:
(gdb) whatever-command-that-causes-an-error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted
$
This went unnoticed for so long because:
- the x86-64 ABI requires -fasynchronous-unwind-tables, making it
possible for exceptions to cross readline with no special handling.
But e.g., on ARM or AIX, unless you build readline with
-fexceptions, you trip on the problem.
- TRY/CATCH was mapped to setjmp/longjmp, even in C++ mode, until
quite recently.
The fix is to catch and save any GDB exception that is thrown inside
the GDB readline callback, and then once the callback returns back to
the GDB code that called into readline in the first place, rethrow the
saved GDB exception.
This is similar in spirit to how we catch/map GDB exceptions at the
GDB/Python and GDB/Guile API boundaries.
The next question is then: if we intercept all exceptions within GDB's
readline callback, should we simply return normally to readline? The
callback prototype has no way to signal an error back to readline (*).
The answer is no -- if we return normally, we'll be returning to a
loop inside rl_callback_read_char that continues processing pending
input, calling into GDB again, redisplaying the prompt, etc. Thus if
we want to error out of rl_callback_read_char, we need to long jump
across it, just like we always did before TRY/CATCH were ever mapped
to C++ exceptions.
My first approach built a specialized API to handle this, with a
couple macros to hide the setjmp/longjmp and the struct gdb_exception
saving/rethrowing.
However, I realized that we need to:
- Handle multiple active rl_callback_read_char invocations. If,
while processing input something triggers a secondary prompt, we
end up in a nested rl_callback_read_char call, through
gdb_readline_wrapper.
- Propagate a struct gdb_exception along with the longjmp.
... and that this is exactly what the setjmp/longjmp-based TRY/CATCH
does.
So the fix makes the setjmp/longjmp TRY/CATCH always available under
new TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ aliases, even when TRY/CATCH is mapped to C++
try/catch, and then uses TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ to propagate GDB
exceptions across the readline callback.
This turns out to be a much better looking fix than my bespoke API
attempt, even. We'll probably be able to simplify TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ
when we finally get rid of TRY/CATCH all over the tree, but until
then, this reuse seems quite nice for avoiding a second parallel
setjmp/longjmp mechanism.
(*) - maybe we could propose a readline API change, but we still need
to handle current readline, anyway.

Make TRY/CATCH use real C++ try/catch in C++ mode
Although the current TRY/CATCH implementation works in C++ mode too,
it relies on setjmp/longjmp, and longjmp bypasses calling the
destructors of objects on the stack, which is obviously bad for C++.
This patch fixes this by makes TRY/CATCH use real try/catch in C++
mode behind the scenes. The way this is done allows RAII and cleanups
to coexist while we phase out cleanups, instead of requiring a flag
day.
This patch is not strictly necessary until we require a C++ compiler
and start actually using RAII, though I'm all for baby steps, and it
shows my proposed way forward. Putting it in now, allows for easier
experimentation and exposure of potential problems with real C++
exceptions.

Mark END_CATCH as ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN (-Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings)
This commit fixes a set of -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings in GDB and
GDBserver, seen with GCC 7.3.1 on F27 at -O2. Specifically, all of
these:
src/gdb/breakpoint.c:5040:4: warning: ‘e’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
src/gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:277:71: warning: ‘tracker’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
src/gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:302:22: warning: ‘word’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1895:7: warning: ‘result’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1966:7: warning: ‘result’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
For example, looking at one of the gdbserver ones in more detail:
../../../src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c: In function ‘int handle_qxfer_btrace_conf(const char*, gdb_byte*, const gdb_byte*, ULONGEST, LONGEST)’:
../../../src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1966:7: warning: ‘result’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
if (result != 0)
^~
In this case (like the others), the 'result' variable is assigned in
both TRY and CATCH blocks:
TRY
{
result = target_read_btrace_conf (thread->btrace, &cache);
if (result != 0)
memcpy (own_buf, cache.buffer, cache.used_size);
}
CATCH (exception, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
sprintf (own_buf, "E.%s", exception.message);
result = -1;
}
END_CATCH
if (result != 0)
return -3;
so it would seem like the warning is bogus.
However, END_CATCH is really a catch block in disguise, and that path
indeed does not initialize the variable:
#define END_CATCH \
catch (...) \
{ \
exception_rethrow (); \
} \
}
exception_rethrow does not return normally (it rethrows the current
exception after running cleanups), but the compiler can not see that.
If it could return normally, then indeed 'result' could be used
uninitialized if the TRY block threw some non-gdb exception, which
would be caught by END_CATCH.
The fix it to let the compiler know that the exception_rethrow does
not return normally, using ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.

/* Macro to wrap up standard try/catch behavior.

|
|
|
|
|
|

The double loop lets us correctly handle code "break"ing out of the
|
|
|
|
try catch block. (It works as the "break" only exits the inner
|
|
|
|
"while" loop, the outer for loop detects this handling it
|
|
|
|
correctly.) Of course "return" and "goto" are not so lucky.

Split TRY_CATCH into TRY + CATCH
This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH
If we map GDB'S TRY/CATCH macros to C++ try/catch, GDB breaks on
systems where readline isn't built with exceptions support. The
problem is that readline calls into GDB through the callback
interface, and if GDB's callback throws a C++ exception/error, the
system unwinder won't manage to unwind past the readline frame, and
ends up calling std::terminate(), which aborts the process:
(gdb) whatever-command-that-causes-an-error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted
$
This went unnoticed for so long because:
- the x86-64 ABI requires -fasynchronous-unwind-tables, making it
possible for exceptions to cross readline with no special handling.
But e.g., on ARM or AIX, unless you build readline with
-fexceptions, you trip on the problem.
- TRY/CATCH was mapped to setjmp/longjmp, even in C++ mode, until
quite recently.
The fix is to catch and save any GDB exception that is thrown inside
the GDB readline callback, and then once the callback returns back to
the GDB code that called into readline in the first place, rethrow the
saved GDB exception.
This is similar in spirit to how we catch/map GDB exceptions at the
GDB/Python and GDB/Guile API boundaries.
The next question is then: if we intercept all exceptions within GDB's
readline callback, should we simply return normally to readline? The
callback prototype has no way to signal an error back to readline (*).
The answer is no -- if we return normally, we'll be returning to a
loop inside rl_callback_read_char that continues processing pending
input, calling into GDB again, redisplaying the prompt, etc. Thus if
we want to error out of rl_callback_read_char, we need to long jump
across it, just like we always did before TRY/CATCH were ever mapped
to C++ exceptions.
My first approach built a specialized API to handle this, with a
couple macros to hide the setjmp/longjmp and the struct gdb_exception
saving/rethrowing.
However, I realized that we need to:
- Handle multiple active rl_callback_read_char invocations. If,
while processing input something triggers a secondary prompt, we
end up in a nested rl_callback_read_char call, through
gdb_readline_wrapper.
- Propagate a struct gdb_exception along with the longjmp.
... and that this is exactly what the setjmp/longjmp-based TRY/CATCH
does.
So the fix makes the setjmp/longjmp TRY/CATCH always available under
new TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ aliases, even when TRY/CATCH is mapped to C++
try/catch, and then uses TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ to propagate GDB
exceptions across the readline callback.
This turns out to be a much better looking fix than my bespoke API
attempt, even. We'll probably be able to simplify TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ
when we finally get rid of TRY/CATCH all over the tree, but until
then, this reuse seems quite nice for avoiding a second parallel
setjmp/longjmp mechanism.
(*) - maybe we could propose a readline API change, but we still need
to handle current readline, anyway.

Split TRY_CATCH into TRY + CATCH
This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will

Split TRY_CATCH into TRY + CATCH
This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH
If we map GDB'S TRY/CATCH macros to C++ try/catch, GDB breaks on
systems where readline isn't built with exceptions support. The
problem is that readline calls into GDB through the callback
interface, and if GDB's callback throws a C++ exception/error, the
system unwinder won't manage to unwind past the readline frame, and
ends up calling std::terminate(), which aborts the process:
(gdb) whatever-command-that-causes-an-error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted
$
This went unnoticed for so long because:
- the x86-64 ABI requires -fasynchronous-unwind-tables, making it
possible for exceptions to cross readline with no special handling.
But e.g., on ARM or AIX, unless you build readline with
-fexceptions, you trip on the problem.
- TRY/CATCH was mapped to setjmp/longjmp, even in C++ mode, until
quite recently.
The fix is to catch and save any GDB exception that is thrown inside
the GDB readline callback, and then once the callback returns back to
the GDB code that called into readline in the first place, rethrow the
saved GDB exception.
This is similar in spirit to how we catch/map GDB exceptions at the
GDB/Python and GDB/Guile API boundaries.
The next question is then: if we intercept all exceptions within GDB's
readline callback, should we simply return normally to readline? The
callback prototype has no way to signal an error back to readline (*).
The answer is no -- if we return normally, we'll be returning to a
loop inside rl_callback_read_char that continues processing pending
input, calling into GDB again, redisplaying the prompt, etc. Thus if
we want to error out of rl_callback_read_char, we need to long jump
across it, just like we always did before TRY/CATCH were ever mapped
to C++ exceptions.
My first approach built a specialized API to handle this, with a
couple macros to hide the setjmp/longjmp and the struct gdb_exception
saving/rethrowing.
However, I realized that we need to:
- Handle multiple active rl_callback_read_char invocations. If,
while processing input something triggers a secondary prompt, we
end up in a nested rl_callback_read_char call, through
gdb_readline_wrapper.
- Propagate a struct gdb_exception along with the longjmp.
... and that this is exactly what the setjmp/longjmp-based TRY/CATCH
does.
So the fix makes the setjmp/longjmp TRY/CATCH always available under
new TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ aliases, even when TRY/CATCH is mapped to C++
try/catch, and then uses TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ to propagate GDB
exceptions across the readline callback.
This turns out to be a much better looking fix than my bespoke API
attempt, even. We'll probably be able to simplify TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ
when we finally get rid of TRY/CATCH all over the tree, but until
then, this reuse seems quite nice for avoiding a second parallel
setjmp/longjmp mechanism.
(*) - maybe we could propose a readline API change, but we still need
to handle current readline, anyway.

Make TRY/CATCH use real C++ try/catch in C++ mode
Although the current TRY/CATCH implementation works in C++ mode too,
it relies on setjmp/longjmp, and longjmp bypasses calling the
destructors of objects on the stack, which is obviously bad for C++.
This patch fixes this by makes TRY/CATCH use real try/catch in C++
mode behind the scenes. The way this is done allows RAII and cleanups
to coexist while we phase out cleanups, instead of requiring a flag
day.
This patch is not strictly necessary until we require a C++ compiler
and start actually using RAII, though I'm all for baby steps, and it
shows my proposed way forward. Putting it in now, allows for easier
experimentation and exposure of potential problems with real C++
exceptions.

gdb: Replace operator new / operator new[]
If xmalloc fails allocating memory, usually because something tried a
huge allocation, like xmalloc(-1) or some such, GDB asks the user what
to do:
.../src/gdb/utils.c:1079: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
If the user says "n", that throws a QUIT exception, which is caught by
one of the multiple CATCH(RETURN_MASK_ALL) blocks somewhere up the
stack.
The default implementations of operator new / operator new[] call
malloc directly, and on memory allocation failure throw
std::bad_alloc. Currently, if that happens, since nothing catches it,
the exception escapes out of main, and GDB aborts from unhandled
exception.
This patch replaces the default operator new variants with versions
that, just like xmalloc:
#1 - Raise an internal-error on memory allocation failure.
#2 - Throw a QUIT gdb_exception, so that the exact same CATCH blocks
continue handling memory allocation problems.
A minor complication of #2 is that operator new can _only_ throw
std::bad_alloc, or something that extends it:
void* operator new (std::size_t size) throw (std::bad_alloc);
That means that if we let a gdb QUIT exception escape from within
operator new, the C++ runtime aborts due to unexpected exception
thrown.
So to bridge the gap, this patch adds a new gdb_quit_bad_alloc
exception type that inherits both std::bad_alloc and gdb_exception,
and throws _that_.
If we decide that we should be catching memory allocation errors in
fewer places than all the places we currently catch them (everywhere
we use RETURN_MASK_ALL currently), then we could change operator new
to throw plain std::bad_alloc then. But I'm considering such a change
as separate matter from this one -- it'd make sense to do the same to
xmalloc at the same time, for instance.
Meanwhile, this allows using new/new[] instead of xmalloc/XNEW/etc.
without losing the "virtual memory exhausted" internal-error
safeguard.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23.

Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH
If we map GDB'S TRY/CATCH macros to C++ try/catch, GDB breaks on
systems where readline isn't built with exceptions support. The
problem is that readline calls into GDB through the callback
interface, and if GDB's callback throws a C++ exception/error, the
system unwinder won't manage to unwind past the readline frame, and
ends up calling std::terminate(), which aborts the process:
(gdb) whatever-command-that-causes-an-error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted
$
This went unnoticed for so long because:
- the x86-64 ABI requires -fasynchronous-unwind-tables, making it
possible for exceptions to cross readline with no special handling.
But e.g., on ARM or AIX, unless you build readline with
-fexceptions, you trip on the problem.
- TRY/CATCH was mapped to setjmp/longjmp, even in C++ mode, until
quite recently.
The fix is to catch and save any GDB exception that is thrown inside
the GDB readline callback, and then once the callback returns back to
the GDB code that called into readline in the first place, rethrow the
saved GDB exception.
This is similar in spirit to how we catch/map GDB exceptions at the
GDB/Python and GDB/Guile API boundaries.
The next question is then: if we intercept all exceptions within GDB's
readline callback, should we simply return normally to readline? The
callback prototype has no way to signal an error back to readline (*).
The answer is no -- if we return normally, we'll be returning to a
loop inside rl_callback_read_char that continues processing pending
input, calling into GDB again, redisplaying the prompt, etc. Thus if
we want to error out of rl_callback_read_char, we need to long jump
across it, just like we always did before TRY/CATCH were ever mapped
to C++ exceptions.
My first approach built a specialized API to handle this, with a
couple macros to hide the setjmp/longjmp and the struct gdb_exception
saving/rethrowing.
However, I realized that we need to:
- Handle multiple active rl_callback_read_char invocations. If,
while processing input something triggers a secondary prompt, we
end up in a nested rl_callback_read_char call, through
gdb_readline_wrapper.
- Propagate a struct gdb_exception along with the longjmp.
... and that this is exactly what the setjmp/longjmp-based TRY/CATCH
does.
So the fix makes the setjmp/longjmp TRY/CATCH always available under
new TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ aliases, even when TRY/CATCH is mapped to C++
try/catch, and then uses TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ to propagate GDB
exceptions across the readline callback.
This turns out to be a much better looking fix than my bespoke API
attempt, even. We'll probably be able to simplify TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ
when we finally get rid of TRY/CATCH all over the tree, but until
then, this reuse seems quite nice for avoiding a second parallel
setjmp/longjmp mechanism.
(*) - maybe we could propose a readline API change, but we still need
to handle current readline, anyway.
