Adds a configure option --with-system-gdbinit-dir to specify a directory
in which to look for gdbinit files. All files in this directory are
loaded on startup (subject to -n/-nx as usual) as long as the extension
matches a known and enabled scripting language (.gdb/.py/.scm).

Unfortunately, XXH3 is still experimental (see

However, regular XXH64 is still a lot faster than
htab_hash_string per my benchmark above. I used the
following string for the benchmark:
static constexpr char str[] = "_ZZZL13make_gdb_typeP7gdbarchP10tdesc_typeEN16gdb_type_creator19make_gdb_type_flagsEPK22tdesc_type_with_fieldsE19__PRETTY_FUNCTION__";
htab_hash_string is currently 4.35% + 7.98% (rehashing) of gdb
startup when attaching to Chrome's content_shell.
An additional 5.21% is spent in msymbol_hash, which does not use
this hash function. Unfortunately, since it has to lowercase the
string, it can't use this hash function.
BM_msymbol_hash 52 ns 52 ns 13281495
It may be worth investigating if strlen+XXHash is still faster than
htab_hash_string, which would make it easier to use in more places.

My earlier patch -- commit c5adaa192 ("Fix creation of stamp-h by
gdb's configure script") -- broke the creation of nm.h. In
particular, configure removes nm.h, so if you touch configure and
rebuild, nothing will re-create the link, breaking the build.
This patch fixes the bug, and also updates configure.ac to use
AC_CONFIG_LINKS, rather than the obsolete AC_LINK_FILES.
Finally, I noticed that gcore is in generated_files in the
Makefile.in. I think this is incorrect, as generated_files is only
needed for files that can be the target of a #include. So, this patch
removes it.

works to use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS and then create the stamp file via the

Currently, no release of GNU Source Highlight supports Rust. However,
I've checked in a patch to do so there, and I plan to make a new
release sometime this summer.
This patch prepares gdb for that by adding support for Rust to the
source highlighting code.
Because Source Highlight will throw an exception if the language is
unrecognized, this also changes gdb to ignore exceptions here. This
will cause gdb to fall back to un-highlighted source text.
This updates gdb's configure script to reject the combination of
Source Highlight and -static-libstdc++. This is done because it's not
possible to use -static-libstdc++ and then catch exceptions from a
shared library.
Tested with the current and development versions of Source Highlight.

This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function.
It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is
thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any
library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these
functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc
ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is
apparently itself being slowly deprecated.
So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the
autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No
testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

This patch moves the gdb/gnulib subdirectory to the top level.
It adjusts the top-level build system to build gnulib when necessary,
and changes gdb to use this. However, gdbserver still builds its own
copy of gnulib, just from the new source location.
A small hack was needed to ensure that gnulib is only built when gdb
is enabled. The Makefile only provides an ordering -- the directory
must be mentioned in configdirs to actually be compiled at all.
Most of the patch is just a "git mv" of gnulib, though a few minor
path adjustments were needed in some files there.
Tested by the buildbot.

PR tui/14126 notes that ANSI terminal escape sequences don't affect
the colors shown in the TUI. A simple way to see this is to try the
extended-prompt example from the gdb manual.
Curses does not pass escape sequences through to the terminal.
Instead, it replaces non-printable characters with a visible
representation, for example "^[" for the ESC character.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a simple ANSI terminal sequence
parser to gdb. These sequences are decoded and those that are
recognized are turned into the appropriate curses calls.
The curses approach to color handling is unusual and so there are some
oddities in the implementation.
Standard curses has no notion of the default colors of the terminal.
So, if you set the foreground color, it is not possible to reset it --
you have to pick some other color. ncurses provides an extension to
handle this, so this patch updates configure and uses it when
available.
Second, in curses, colors always come in pairs: you cannot set just
the foreground. This patch handles this by tracking actually-used
pairs of colors and keeping a table of these for reuse.
Third, there are a limited number of such pairs available. In this
patch, if you try to use too many color combinations, gdb will just
ignore some color changes.
Finally, in addition to limiting the number of color pairs, curses
also limits the number of colors. This means that, when using
extended 8- or 24-bit color sequences, it may be possible to exhaust
the curses color table.
I am very sour on the curses design now.
I do not know how to write a test for this, so I did not.

Commit
e418a61a67 ("Move mkdir_recursive to common/filestuff.c")
moved this code, but also removed the HAVE_MKDTEMP guard which prevented
the mkdtemp call to be compiled on mingw.
We can either put back the HAVE_MKDTEMP ifdef, or import the gnulib
mkdtemp module, which provides the function for mingw. Since the
mkdir_recursive is susceptible to be used on mingw at some point, I
think it would be nice to have it tested on mingw, so I did the latter.
Once built, I tested it on Windows (copied the resulting gdb.exe on a
Windows machine, ran it, and ran "maint selftest mkdir_recursive"). It
failed, because the temporary directory is hardcoded to "/tmp/...". I
therefore added and used a new get_standard_temp_dir function, which
returns an appropriate temporary directory for the host platform.

This is a follow-up of:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-08/msg00347.html
Instead of going throttle and always enabling our selftests (even in
non-development builds), this patch is a bit more conservative and
introduces a configure option ("--enable-unit-tests") that allows the
user to choose whether she wants unit tests in the build or not. Note
that the current behaviour is retained: if no option is provided, GDB
will have selftests included in a development build, and will *not*
have selftests included in a non-development build.
The rationale for having this option is still the same: due to the
many racy testcases and random failures we see when running the GDB
testsuite, it is unfortunately not possible to perform a full test
when one is building a downstream package. As the Fedora GDB
maintainer and one of the Debian GDB uploaders, I feel like this
situation could be improved by, at least, executing our selftests
after the package has been built.
This patch introduces no regressions to our build.
OK?

the changes to target remote and target extended-remote
relating to Unix domain sockets.
This commit removes a workaround for a bug in glibc 2.1.3, which
was released 2000-02-24 and superseded 2000-11-09.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb_proc_service.h (gdb_prfpregset_t): Remove typedef.
* proc-service.c (ps_lgetfpregs, ps_lsetfpregs): Use
prfpregset_t instead of gdb_prfpregset_t.
* configure.ac (PRFPREGSET_T_BROKEN): Remove check.
* configure, config.in: Rebuild.
This commit adds a workaround from gdbserver's gdb_proc_service.h
to GDB's. It doesn't seem to have been needed on any glibc as far
back as 2001, but it's possibly required for other C libraries so
I've retained it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Check if sys/procfs.h defines elf_fpregset_t.
(AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Check for linux/elf.h.
* configure, config.in: Rebuild.
* gdb_proc_service.h: Include linux/elf.h if sys/procfs.h
doesn't define elf_fpregset_t.
The Python CFLAGS include -DNDEBUG. This was apparently done
intentionally -- setting the flags is done manually because, according
to a comment, python-config passes too many things to the compiler
(which is true).
Per PR python/20445, this patch changes configure so that -DNDEBUG is
only used by release builds. This probably doesn't have very much
effect in practice, but I did see that some Python headers use assert,
so perhaps it will give some safety.
Tested by rebuilding and re-running gdb.python/*.exp on x86-64 Fedora 28.

There was a report on irc that the gdb check for mpfr failed when only
static libraries are available. The issue is that mpfr depends on
gmp, but this is not handled explicitly by gdb.
Ideally upstream would switch to pkg-config. Or even more ideally, we
would incorporate pkg-config into the compiler and not mess with any
of this.
Meanwhile, this changes gdb's configure to add gmp to the link line
when checking for mpfr.

configure checks for declarations of free, malloc, and realloc; but
the results are only used in a single spot: utils.c. I think these
checks are long since obsolete, so this patch removes them.
Grepping the entire tree for these HAVE_DECL_ symbols, the only uses
of possible interest to gdb come from bfd/sysdep.h; but this is not
(nor should be) included by gdb. (And furthermore I think the code
there is probably also obsolete.)

I think it doesn't really make sense to allow building gdb without the
CLI. Perhaps at one time this was a goal, but libgdb is long gone and
the CLI is intrinsic to gdb.
So, this patch removes the implementation of this configure option.
It is still recognized (this is autoconf's default), but does nothing.
This simplifies configure.ac and Makefile.in a bit.
Tested by rebuilding.

I have thought for a long time how nice it would be to have cool pretty
printers for GDB's internal types. Well, turns out there are few
already in gdb-gdb.py! Unfortunately, if you build GDB outside of the
source directory, that file never gets loaded. top-gdb will look for a
file called
../path/to/build/gdb/gdb-gdb.py
but that file is in the source directory at
../path/to/src/gdb/gdb-gdb.py
This patch makes it so we copy it to the build directory, just like we
do for gdb-gdb.gdb. With this, I can at least see the file getting
automatically loaded:
(top-gdb) info pretty-printer
global pretty-printers:
builtin
mpx_bound128
objfile /home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb pretty-printers:
type_lookup_function
I noticed that running "make" didn't re-generate gdb-gdb.py from
gdb-gdb.py.in. That's because it's copied when running the configure
script and that's it. I added a rule in the Makefile for that (and for
gdb-gdb.gdb too) and added them as a dependency to the "all" target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb-gdb.py: Move to...
* gdb-gdb.py.in: ... here.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gdb-gdb.py.
* Makefile.in (all): Add gdb-gdb.gdb and gdb-gdb.py as

When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:
configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation
Solution 1:
Adjust the code based on the example at that URL.
Problem 2 (in zlib/):
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Solution 2:
Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
Problem 3:
doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.
Problem 9:

Configure uses "gcc -o conftest -g ... conftest.c -ldl -lncurses -lm -ldl
... -lpthread ... -lpython2.7" when deciding whether give libpython is
usable.
That of course is the wrong link order, and only works for shared libraries

* configure: Regenerate.
In my multi-target branch I ran into problems with GDB's terminal
handling that exist in master as well, with multi-inferior debugging.
This patch adds a testcase for said problems
(gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp), fixes the problems, fixes PR
gdb/13211 as well (and adds a testcase for that too,
gdb.base/interrupt-daemon.exp).
The basis of the problem I ran into is the following. Consider a
scenario where you have:
- inferior 1 - started with "attach", process is running on some
other terminal.
- inferior 2 - started with "run", process is sharing gdb's terminal.
In this scenario, when you stop/resume both inferiors, you want GDB to
save/restore the terminal settings of inferior 2, the one that is
sharing GDB's terminal. I.e., you want inferior 2 to "own" the
terminal (in target_terminal::is_ours/target_terminal::is_inferior
sense).
Unfortunately, that's not what you get currently. Because GDB doesn't
know whether an attached inferior is actually sharing GDB's terminal,
it tries to save/restore its settings anyway, ignoring errors. In
this case, this is pointless, because inferior 1 is running on a
different terminal, but GDB doesn't know better.
And then, because it is only possible to have the terminal settings of
a single inferior be in effect at a time, or make one inferior/pgrp be
the terminal's foreground pgrp (aka, only one inferior can "own" the
terminal, ignoring fork children here), if GDB happens to try to
restore the terminal settings of inferior 1 first, then GDB never
restores the terminal settings of inferior 2.
This patch fixes that and a few things more along the way:
- Moves enum target_terminal::terminal_state out of the
target_terminal class (it's currently private) and makes it a
scoped enum so that it can be easily used elsewhere.
- Replaces the inflow.c:terminal_is_ours boolean with a
target_terminal_state variable. This allows distinguishing is_ours
and is_ours_for_output states. This allows finally making
child_terminal_ours_1 do something with its "output_only"
parameter.
- Makes each inferior have its own copy of the
is_ours/is_ours_for_output/is_inferior state.
- Adds a way for GDB to tell whether the inferior is sharing GDB's
terminal. Works best on Linux and Solaris; the fallback works just
as well as currently.
- With that, we can remove the inf->attach_flag tests from
child_terminal_inferior/child_terminal_ours.
- Currently target_ops.to_ours is responsible for both saving the
current inferior's terminal state, and restoring gdb's state.
Because each inferior has its own terminal state (possibly handled
by different targets in a multi-target world, even), we need to
split the inferior-saving part from the gdb-restoring part. The
patch adds a new target_ops.to_save_inferior target method for
that.
- Adds a new target_terminal::save_inferior() function, so that
sequences like:
scoped_restore_terminal_state save_state;
target_terminal::ours_for_output ();
... restore back inferiors that were
target_terminal_state::is_inferior before back to is_inferior, and
leaves inferiors that were is_ours alone.
- Along the way, this adds a default implementation of
target_pass_ctrlc to inflow.c (for inf-child.c), that handles
passing the Ctrl-C to a process running on GDB's terminal or to
some other process otherwise.
- Similarly, adds a new target default implementation of
target_interrupt, for the "interrupt" command. The current
implementation of this hook in inf-ptrace.c kills the whole process
group, but that's incorrect/undesirable because we may not be
attached to all processes in the process group. And also, it's
incorrect because inferior_process_group() doesn't really return
the inferior's real process group id if the inferior is not a
process group leader... This is the cause of PR gdb/13211 [1],
which this patch fixes. While at it, that target method's "ptid"
parameter is eliminated, because it's not really used.
- A new test is included that exercises and fixes PR gdb/13211, and
also fixes a GDB issue reported on stackoverflow that I ran into
while working on this [2]. The problem is similar to PR gdb/13211,
except that it also triggers with Ctrl-C. When debugging a daemon
(i.e., a process that disconnects from the controlling terminal and
is not a process group leader, then Ctrl-C doesn't work, you just
can't interrupt the inferior at all, resulting in a hung debug
session. The problem is that since the inferior is no longer
associated with gdb's session / controlling terminal, then trying
to put the inferior in the foreground fails. And so Ctrl-C never
reaches the inferior directly. pass_signal is only used when the
inferior is attached, but that is not the case here. This is fixed
by the new child_pass_ctrlc. Without the fix, the new
interrupt-daemon.exp testcase fails with timeout waiting for a
SIGINT that never arrives.

- PR gdb/9425 - When using "sigwait" GDB doesn't trap SIGINT. Ctrl+C terminates program when should break gdb.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9425
The only way to fix that that I know of (without changing the kernel)
is to make GDB put inferiors in a separate session (create a
pseudo-tty master/slave pair, make the inferior run with the slave as
its terminal, and have gdb pump output/input on the master end).

Make <sys/types.h> be included prior to including <sys/user.h>.
glibc versions older than 2.14 use __uintNN_t types within certain
structures defined in <sys/user.h> probably assuming these types are
defined prior to including the header. This results in the following
`configure` feature test compilation error that makes it think that
`struct user_regs_struct` doesn't have `fs_base`/`gs_base` fields,
althouh it does.

Recent glibc versions don't use typedef'ed int types in <sys/user.h>,
thus allowing it to be included as is
(glibc commit d79a9c949c84e7f0ba33e87447c47af833e9f11a).
However there're still some distros alive that use older glibc,
for instance, RHEL/CentOS 6 package glibc 2.12.
Also affects PR gdb/21559:
../../gdb/regcache.c:1087: internal-error: void regcache_raw_supply(regcache, int, const void): Assertion `regnum >= 0 && regnum < regcache->descr->nr_raw_registers' failed.
As noted by Andrew Paprocki, who submitted the PR
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21559#c3):
> It should be noted that modifying `configure` to force on
> `HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE` and
> `HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_GS_BASE` fixes this issue. For some
> reason the `configure` tests for `fs_base` and `gs_base` fail
> even though `sys/user.h` on RHEL5 has the fields defined in
> `user_regs_struct`.
Note that this patch does NOT fix the root cause of PR gdb/21559,
although now that `configure` properly detects the presence of the
fields and sets HAVE_XXX accordingly, the execution takes another
path, which doesn't lead to the assertion failure in question.

We don't build GDB selftests bits when $development is false. However, if
we turn bfd/development.sh:$development to false, common/selftest.c is
compiled which is not expected. It causes the build failure,
selftest.o: In function `selftests::run_tests(char const*)':
binutils-gdb/gdb/common/selftest.c:97: undefined reference to `selftests::reset()'

I fix this issue by putting selftest.o selftest-arch.o into CONFIG_OBS
only when $development is true. After this is fixed, there are other
build failures in maint.c, this patch fixes them as well.

This is the previously mentioned patch to get rid of
unstructured/ioctl-based procfs support in procfs.c. Given that support
for structured procfs was introduced in Solaris 2.6 back in 1997 and
we're just removing support for Solaris < 10, there's no point in
carrying that baggage (and tons of support for IRIX and OSF/1 as well)
around any longer.
Most of the patch should be straightforward (removing support for
!NEW_PROC_API, non-Solaris OSes and pre-Solaris 10 quirks).
Only a few points need explanations:
* <sys/syscall.h> was already included unconditionally in most places,
so there's no need to have guards in a few remaining ones.
* configure.host already obsoletes i?86-*-sysv4.2, i?86-*-sysv5, so
NEW_PROC_API detection for those in configure.ac can go.
* I'm still including <sys/procfs.h> with #define _STRUCTURED_PROC 1.
Theoretically, it would be better to include <procfs.h> on Solaris
(which includes that define), but that breaks the build over
<procfs.h> vs. gdb's "procfs.h", and doesn't exist on Linux.
* I've regenerated syscall_table[] in proc-events.c with a small script
from Solaris 10, 11.3, 11.4 <sys/syscall.h>, so there should be no
traces of older Solaris versions and other OSes left.
* prsysent_t and DYNAMIC_SYSCALLS was only used for AIX 5, but AIX
doesn't use procfs.c any longer, so all related code can go.
The patch was generated with diff -w so one can easier see changes
without being distracted by simple reindentations.
So far, it has only been compiled and smoke-tested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.1[01], sparcv9-sun-solaris2.1[01], and
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Certainly needs more testing (Solaris 11.3
vs. 11.4, 32-bit gdb, testsuite once I've figured out what's wrong on
Solaris 10 etc.), but it's enough to get a first impression how much
cleanup is possible here.

This implements a simpler way to make the "arch" build directory --
namely, now it is done as an order-only dependency in the Makefile,
rather than being created when config.status is run. This simpler
because it means that the build directories can be changed without
re-running autoconf.

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.
