Due to a logical bug in gdb/cp-support.c:cp_search_name_hash(), GDB
may not be able to find a symbol when asked by the user. See the
accompanying test for such demonstration.
The cp_search_name_hash() cannot correctly handle a (demangled) symbol
that comprises of type-casting for the first parameter in its template
parameter list, e.g.:
foo<(enum_test)0>(int, int)
In this example, the processing logic in cp_search_name_hash() considers
the "foo<" string for hashing instead of "foo". This is due to a faulty
logic in the processing loop that tries to _keep_ hashing if a '<' char
with the following property is encountered:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
for (const char *string = search_name; *string != '\0'; ++string)
{
...
if (*string == '(')
break;
...
/* Ignore template parameter list. */
if (string[0] == '<'
&& string[1] != '(' && string[1] != '<' && string[1] != '='
&& string[1] != ' ' && string[1] = '\0')
break;
...
hash = SYMBOL_HASH_NEXT (hash, *string);
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ostensibly, this logic strives to bail out of the processing loop as
soon as the beginning of an argument list is encountered, "(int, int)"
in the example, or the beginning of a template parameter list, the
"<(enum_test)0>" in the example. However, when "string" is pointing
at '<', the following incorrect logic takes precedence:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
for (const char *string = search_name; *string != '\0'; ++string)
{
if (*string == '(')
break;
...
if (string[0] == '<' && string[1] != '(' ...)
break;
hash = SYMBOL_HASH_NEXT (hash, *string);
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In "foo<(enum_test)0>(int, int)", the '(' char that is positioned after
the '<' char causes the "if" condition at the end of the loop not to
"break". As a result, the '<' is considered for hashing and at the
beginning of the next iteration, the loop is exited because "string"
points to '(' char.
It's obvious that the intention of the "if" condition at the end of the
loop body is to handle cases where the method name is "operator<",
"operator<<", or "operator<=". While fixing the issue, I've re-written
the logic as such to make that more explicit. Still, the complexity of
the function remains O(n). It is worth mentioning that in the same
file the "find_toplevel_char()" follows the same explicit logic.

Currently, when you're already less than a page from the top in the TUI
source window, and you press Page-Up, nothing happens, while I would
expect that it then scrolls the source up to the first line.
It's happening because scrolling a full page up would result in a
negative starting line number, which is then checked if it's higher than
the (unsigned) number of available lines, and since this will always be
true, the original starting line number is restored.
Afterwards it would check if the line number is too low, but since the
negative value was already gone, it didn't do much.
Fixed by moving the low line number check before the maximum line number
check.

gdb/python: implement Python find_exec_by_build_id hook
I managed to typo 'unsupported' as 'unsupport'. If you run the test
on a target that doesn't support core file creation then you'll get a
TCL error.
Fixed in this commit.
I ran into an unexpected failure in gdb.base/info_sources.exp. The
test in question runs this command:
(gdb) info sources -d -- -d
That is, list all the source files whose directory name matches the
regexp '-d'. The expectation is that no source files will be listed.
Unfortunately, when I ran the test some source files are listed; the
directory I am running in contains the pattern '-d', and so the test
fails.
As we cannot control where the developer is building and testing GDB,
I propose that instead of just testing with '-d' we should search
through all the letters a-z and find one that isn't present in the
source file directory name. I'm still including the leading '-'
character in the regexp.
So now, unless GDB is being built in a directory that contains '-a',
'-b', '-c', .... '-z', the test will find one letter which isn't
present, and use that for the test.
To avoid test names changing between runs in different directories
I've had to tweak the test name to something more generic, but there
should be no change in which parts of GDB are actually being tested.

Implement extension_language_ops::find_objfile_from_buildid within
GDB's Python API. Doing this allows users to write Python extensions
that can help locate missing objfiles when GDB opens a core file. A
handler might perform some project- or site-specific actions to find a
missing objfile. Or might provide some project- or site-specific
advice to the user on how they can obtain the missing objfile.
The implementation is very similar to the approach taken in:
commit 8f6c452b5a

gdb: implement missing debug handler hook for Python
The following new commands are added as commands implemented in
Python, this is similar to how the Python missing debug and unwinder
commands are implemented:
info missing-objfile-handlers
enable missing-objfile-handler LOCUS HANDLER
disable missing-objfile-handler LOCUS HANDLER
To make use of this extension hook a user will create missing objfile
handler objects, and registers these handlers with GDB. When GDB
opens a core file and encounters a missing objfile each handler is
called in turn until one is able to help. Here is a minimal handler
that does nothing useful:
import gdb
import gdb.missing_objfile
class MyFirstHandler(gdb.missing_objfile.MissingObjfileHandler):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__("my_first_handler")
def __call__(self, pspace, build_id, filename):
# This handler does nothing useful.
return None
gdb.missing_objfile.register_handler(None, MyFirstHandler())
Returning None from the __call__ method tells GDB that this handler
was unable to find the missing objfile, and GDB should ask any other
registered handlers.
Possible return values from a handler:
- None: This means the handler couldn't help. GDB will call other
registered handlers to see if they can help instead.
- False: The handler has done all it can, but the objfile couldn't
be found. GDB will not call any other handlers, and will
continue without the objfile.
- True: The handler has installed the objfile into a location where
GDB would normally expect to find it. GDB should repeat its
normal lookup process and the objfile should now be found.
- A string: The handler can return a filename, which is the missing
objfile. GDB will load this file.
Handlers can be registered globally, or per program space. GDB checks
the handlers for the current program space first, and then all of the
global handles. The first handler that returns a value that is not
None, has "handled" the missing objfile, at which point GDB continues.
The implementation of this feature is mostly straight forward. I have
reworked some of the missing debug file related code so that it can be
shared with this feature. E.g. gdb/python/lib/gdb/missing_files.py is
mostly content moved from gdb/python/lib/gdb/missing_debug.py, but
updated to be more generic. Now gdb/python/lib/gdb/missing_debug.py
and the new file gdb/python/lib/gdb/missing_objfile.py both call into
the missing_files.py file.
For gdb/python/lib/gdb/command/missing_files.py this is even more
extreme, gdb/python/lib/gdb/command/missing_debug.py is completely
gone now and gdb/python/lib/gdb/command/missing_files.py provides all
of the new commands in a generic way.
I have made one change to the existing Python API, I renamed the
attribute Progspace.missing_debug_handlers to
Progspace.missing_file_handlers. I don't see this as too
problematic. This attribute was only used to implement the missing
debug feature and was never documented beyond the fact that it
existed. There was no reason for users to be touching this attribute.

Add a new ext_lang_find_objfile_from_buildid function which is called
from find_objfile_by_build_id and gives extension languages a chance
to find missing objfiles.
This commit adds the ext_lang_find_objfile_from_buildid function and
the extension_language_ops::find_objfile_from_buildid() hook, but does
not implement the hook for any extension languages, that will come in
the next commit.
This commit does rewrite find_objfile_by_build_id (build-id.c) to call
the new hook though. The basic steps of find_objfile_by_build_id are
now this:
1. Try to find the missing objfile using the build-id by looking in
the debug-file-directory's .build-id/ sub-directory. If we find the
file then we're done.
2. Ask debuginfod to download the missing file for us. If we
download the file successfully then we're done.
3. Ask the extension language hook to find the file for us. If the
extension language asks us to try again then we repeat step (1) only
and if we still don't have the file, we move to step (4). If the
extension language told us where the file is then we use that file
and we're done.
4. We didn't find the file. Carry on without it.
Only step (3) is new in this logic, everything else was already done.
There are no tests added here as we can't currently write an extension
language callback. The next commit will add the tests.

When opening a core-file GDB is able to use debuginfod to download the
executable that matches the core-file if GDB can find a build-id for
the executable in the core-file.
In this case GDB calls debuginfod_exec_query to download the
executable and GDB prints a message like:
Downloading executable for /path/to/core-file...
which makes sense in that case.
For a long time GDB has also had the ability to download memory-mapped
files and shared libraries when opening a core-file. However, recent
commits have made these cases more likely to trigger, which is a good
thing, but the messaging from GDB in these cases is not ideal. When
downloading a memory-mapped file GDB prints:
Downloading executable for /path/to/memory-mapped-file
And for a shared library:
Downloading executable for /path/to/libfoo.so
These last two messages could, I think, be improved.
I propose making two changes. First, I suggest instead of using
/path/to/core-file in the first case, we use the name of the
executable that GDB is fetching. This makes the messaging consistent
in that we print the name of the file we're fetching rather than the
name of the file we're fetching something for.
I further propose that we replace 'executable for' with the more
generic word 'file'. The messages will then become:
Downloading file /path/to/exec-file...
Downloading file /path/to/memory-mapped-file...
Downloading file /path/to/libfoo.so...
I think these messages are clearer than what we used to have, and they
are consistent in that we name the thing being downloaded in all
cases.
There is one tiny problem. The first case relies on GDB knowing the
name of the executable it wants to download. The only place we can
currently get that from is, I think, the memory-mapped file list.
[ ASIDE: There is `bfd_core_file_failing_command` which reports the
executable and argument list from the core file, but this
information is not ideal for this task. First, the executable and
arguments are merged into a single string, and second, the string is
a relatively short, fixed length string, so the executable name is
often truncated. For these reasons I don't consider fetching the
executable name using this bfd function as a solution. ]
We do have to consider the case that the core file does not have any
mapped file information. This shouldn't ever be the case for a Linux
target, but it's worth considering.
[ ASIDE: I mention Linux specifically because this only becomes a
problem if we try to do a lookup via debuginfod, which requires that
we have build-ids available. Linux has special support for
embedding build-ids into the core file, but I'm not sure if other
kernels do this. ]
For the unlikely edge case of a core-file that has build-ids, but
doesn't have any mapped file information then I propose that we
synthesis a filename like: 'with build-id xxxxxx'. We would then see
a message like:
Downloading file with build-id xxxxxx...
Where 'xxxxxx' would be replaced by the actual build-id.
This isn't ideal, but I think is good enough, and, as I said, I think
this case is not going to be hit very often, or maybe at all.
We already had some tests that emitted two of the above messages,
which I've updated, these cover the mapped-file and shared library
case.
The message about downloading the exec for the core-file is actually
really hard to trigger now as usually the exec will also appear in the
memory-mapped file list and GDB will download the file at this stage.
Then when GDB needs the executable for loading the symbols it'll ask
debuginfod, and debuginfod will find the file in its cache, and so no
message will be printed.
If anyone has any ideas about how to trigger this case then I'm happy
to add additional tests.
