The "info dll", an alias of the "info sharedlibrary" command, is
currently only defined in windows native versions. This patch makes
it universally available by moving the alias declaration to solib.c,
and adjusts the documentation accordingly.
Making it universally available has two benefits:
- Windows users moving to a Unix platforms are still able to use
the same command for getting the list of shared libraries;
- Unix to Windows cross debuggers now provide that command also.

This patch improves the documentation of ada-lang.c's
value_assign_to_component to publish the fact that it also works
with not_lval values.
And touching this area of the code showed that there were a number
of whitespace issues, as well as a formatting issue of the main comment
(no leading '*' on each line). This patch fixes those while at it.
No functional change, however.

This patch improves the handling of out-of-line functions nested
inside functions that have been inlined.
Consider for instance a situation where function Foo_O224_021
has a function Child1 declared in it, which itself has a function
Child2 nested inside Child1. After compiling the program with
optimization on, Child1 gets inlined, but not Child2.
After inserting a breakpoint on Child2, and running the program
until reaching that breakpoint, we get the following backtrace:
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) break foo_o224_021.child1.child2
(gdb) run
[...]
Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
28 Child1;
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000000000402400 in foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
#1 0x00000000004027a4 in foo_o224_021.child1 () at foo_o224_021.adb:23
#2 0x00000000004027a4 in foo_o224_021 () at foo_o224_021.adb:28
GDB reports the wrong function name for frame #0. We also get the same
kind of error in the "Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021 () [...]" message.
In both cases, the function name should be foo_o224_021.child1.child2,
and the parameters should be "s=...".
What happens is that the inlined frame handling does not handle well
the case where an inlined function is calling an out-of-line function
which was declared inside the inlined function's scope.
In particular, looking first at the inlined-frame sniffer when applying
to frame #0:
/* Calculate DEPTH, the number of inlined functions at this
location. */
depth = 0;
cur_block = frame_block;
while (BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block))
{
if (block_inlined_p (cur_block))
depth++;
cur_block = BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block);
}
What happens is that cur_block starts as the block associated
to child2, which is not inlined. We shoud be stopping here, but
instead, we keep walking the superblock chain, which takes us
all the way to Foo_O224_021's block, via Child2's block. And
since Child1 was inlined, we end up with a depth count of 1,
wrongly making GDB think that frame #0 is an inlined frame.
Same kind of issue inside skip_inline_frames.
The fix is to stop checking for inlined frames as soon as we see
a block corresponding to a function which is not inlined. This is
the behavior we now obtain:
(gdb) run
[...]

Consider the following code, which defines a function, Child2,
which is itself nested inside Child1:
procedure Foo_O224_021 is
O1 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
procedure Child1 is
O2 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
function Child2 (S : String) return Boolean is -- STOP
begin
for C of S loop
Do_Nothing (C);
if C = 'o' then
return True;
end if;
end loop;
return False;
end Child2;
R : Boolean;
begin
R := Child2 ("Foo");
R := Child2 ("Bar");
R := Child2 ("Foobar");
end Child1;
begin
Child1;
end Foo_O224_021;
On x86_64-linux, when compiled at -O2, GDB is unable to insert
a breakpoint on Child2:
% gnatmake -g -O2 foo_o224_021
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) b child2
Function "child2" not defined.
(gdb) b foo_o224_021.child1.child2
Function "foo_o224_021.child1.child2" not defined.
The problem is caused by the fact that GDB did not create a symbol
for Child2, and this, in turn, is caused by the fact that the compiler
decided to inline Child1, but not Child2. The DWARF debugging info
first provides an abstract instance tree for Child1...
<3><1b7b>: Abbrev Number: 29 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x23f8): foo_o224_021__child1
<1b82> DW_AT_inline : 1 (inlined)
<1b83> DW_AT_sibling : <0x1c01>
... where that subprogram is given the DW_AT_inline attribute.
Inside that function there is a lexical block which has no PC
range (corresponding to the fact that this is the abstract tree):
<4><1b87>: Abbrev Number: 30 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
... inside which our subprogram Child2 is described:
<5><1b92>: Abbrev Number: 32 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b93> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2452): foo_o224_021__child1__child2
<1b99> DW_AT_type : <0x1ab1>
<1b9d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x402300
<1ba5> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x57
[...]
Then, later on, we get the concrete instance tree, starting at:
<3><1c5e>: Abbrev Number: 41 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<1c5f> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b7b>
<1c63> DW_AT_entry_pc : 0x4025fd
<1c6b> DW_AT_ranges : 0x150
... which refers to Child1. One of that inlined subroutine children
is the concrete instance of the empty lexical block we saw above
(in the abstract instance tree), which gives the actual address
range for this inlined instance:
<5><1c7a>: Abbrev Number: 43 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
<1c7b> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b87>
<1c7f> DW_AT_ranges : 0x180
This is the DIE which provides the context inside which we can
record Child2. But unfortunately, GDB does not take the abstract
origin into account when handling lexical blocks, causing it
to miss the fact that this block contains some symbols described
in the abstract instance tree. This is the first half of this patch:
modifying GDB to follow DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes for
lexical blocks.
But this not enough to fix the issue, as we're still unable to
break on Child2 with just that change. The second issue can be
traced to the way inherit_abstract_dies determines the list of
DIEs to inherit from. For that, it iterates over all the DIEs in
the concrete instance tree, and finds the list of DIEs from the
abstract instance tree that are not referenced from the concrete
instance tree. As it happens, there is one type of DIE in the
concrete instance tree which does reference Child2's DIE, but
in fact does otherwise define a concrete instance of the reference
DIE; that's (where <0x1b92> is Child2's DIE):
<6><1d3c>: Abbrev Number: 35 (DW_TAG_GNU_call_site)
<1d3d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4026a4
<1d45> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b92>
So, the second part of the patch is to modify inherit_abstract_dies
to ignore DW_TAG_GNU_call_site DIEs when iterating over the concrete
instance tree.
This patch also includes a testcase which can be used to reproduce
the issue. Unfortunately, for it to actually pass, a smal patch in
GCC is also necessary to make sure that GCC provides lexical blocks'
DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes from the concrete tree back to
the abstract tree. We hope to be able to submit and integrate that
patch in the GCC tree soon. Meanwhile, a setup_xfail has been added.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/out_of_line_in_inlined: New testcase.
This is an issue which I noticed while working on trying to print
an array of variant records. For instance, trying to print "A1",
an array of elements whose size is variable, defined as follow
(see gdb.ada/var_rec_arr testcase):
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
function Ident (R : Record_Type) return Record_Type;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
The debugger sometimes prints the array as follow:
(gdb) print A1
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""))
The problem happens inside the part of the loop printing the array's
elements, while trying to count the number of consecutive elements
that have the same value (in order to replace them by the "<repeats
nnn times>" message when the number exceeds a threshold). In particular,
in ada-valprint.c::val_print_packed_array_elements:
elttype = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
eltlen = TYPE_LENGTH (check_typedef (elttype));
while (...)
{
if (!value_contents_eq (v0, value_embedded_offset (v0),
v1, value_embedded_offset (v1),
eltlen))
break;
The value comparison is performed using value_contents_eq but makes
the assumption that elttype is not dynamic, which is not always true.
In particular, in the case above, elttype is dynamic and therefore
its TYPE_LENGTH changes from element to element.
As it happens in this case, the eltlen is zero, which causes the call
to value_contents_eq to return true, and therefore GDB thinks all
3 elements of the array are equal.
This patch fixes the issue by making sure that both v0 and v1, which
are values whose type we expect to be resolved, have identical lengths.
If not, then the two elements of the array cannot possibly have the
same value and we do not even need to do the binary comparison.
Unfortunately, this is still not enough to get GDB to print the correct
value for our array, because the assumption that v0 and v1 have a type
which has been resolved is actually not met. So, the second part of
the patch modifies the function that constructed the values to make
sure dynamic types do get resolved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (val_print_packed_array_elements): Delete
variable "len". Add a type-length check when comparing two
consecutive elements of the array. Use the element's actual
length in call to value_contents_eq.
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Always return
a value whose type has been resolved.
Consider the following declarations:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
A2 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 2, S => "AB"),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 0, S => <>));
Compiled with -fgnat-encodings=minimal, and trying to print
one element of our array, valgrind reports an invalid memory
access. On certain GNU/Linux boxes, malloc even reports it as
well, and causes GDB to crash.
(gdb) print a2(1)
*** glibc detected *** /[...]/gdb:
malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0a30ba48 ***
[crash]
The invalid memory access occurs because of a simple buffer
overflow in ada_value_primitive_packed_val. When this function
is called, it is given a bit_size of 128 (or 16 bytes), which
corresponds to the stride of our array. But the actual size of
each element depends on its value. In particular, A2(1) is a record
whose size is only 6 bytes.
What happens in our example is that we start building a new value
(v) where the element is to be unpacked, with any of its dynamic
properties getting resolved as well. We then unpack the data into
this value's buffer:
unpacked = (unsigned char *) value_contents (v);
[...]
nsrc = len;
[...]
while (nsrc > 0)
{
[...]
unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
[...]
targ += delta;
[...]
nsrc -= 1;
[...]
}
In the loop above, targ starts at zero (for LE architectures),
and len is 16. With delta being +1, we end up iterating 16 times,
writing 16 bytes into a 6-bytes buffer.
This patch fixes the issue by adjusting BIT_SIZE and recomputing
LEN after having resolved our type if the resolved type turns out
to be smaller than bit_size.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Recompute
BIT_SIZE and LEN if the size of the resolved type is smaller
than BIT_SIZE * HOST_CHAR_BIT.
Consider the following (Ada) array...
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
... where Array_Type is declared as follow:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
Trying to print the value of each element individually does not
always work. Printing the value of the first one does:
(gdb) p a1(1)
$1 = (i => 0, s => "")
But printing the value of the subsequent ones often does not.
For instance:
(gdb) p a1(2)
$2 = (i => 1, s => "") <<<--- s should be "A"
(gdb) p a1(3)
$3 = (i => 2, s => "") <<<--- s should be "AB"
I traced the problem to ada_value_primitive_packed_val,
which is trying to perform the array subscripting by
extracting the value of the corresponding array element
into a buffer where the contents is now byte-aligned.
The element type that ada_value_primitive_packed_val gets passed
is a dynamic type. As it happens, that dynamic type can get resolved
thanks to:
v = value_at (type, value_address (obj));
type = value_type (v);
However, obj represents the array, so the address given in the call
to value_at represents the value of the first element. As a result,
the solution of component S's upper bound always gets resolved based
on the value of component I in the first element of the array, whose
value is 0, thus leading to GDB mistakely resolving the element type
where S's upper bound is always 0.
The proper fix would be to systematically resolve the element type
first. But, this requires us to extract-and-realign the element's
value so as to be able to pass it as "valaddr" to resolve_dynamic_type.
In the meantime, it's easy to make the situation a little better by
passing "value_address (obj) + offset" as the object address. This
only works when BIT_OFFSET is nul, but that should be the case when
the element type is anything but a scalar, which seems to be the only
situation where it seems important to resolve the type now. And we're
not that worse off otherwise.
But we'll try to find a better solution in a separate patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Use a more
correct address in call to value_at. Adjust call to
value_address accordingly.
This is another required step towards trying to print the value of
an array of variant records. For instance:
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
... where Array_Type is an array of records whose size is variable:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
What happens is that the ada-valprint modules gets passed an array
whose element type is not resolved yet (since each element of the
array needs to be resolved separately). the module then recurses,
and eventually gets called with the first element of the array.
But because the element hasn't been resolved yet, we end up having
trouble printing its value soon after.
This patch fixes the issue by calling resolve_dynamic_type before
trying to print it.
With this patch, GDB is finally able to print the complete value
for variable "A1":
(gdb) p a1
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 1, s => "A"), (i => 2, s => "AB"))
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Resolve TYPE before trying
to print it.
This is the second part of enhancing the debugger to print the value
of arrays of records whose size is variable when only standard DWARF
info is available (no GNAT encoding). For instance:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
Currently, GDB prints the following output:
(gdb) p a1
$1 = (
The error happens while the ada-valprint module is trying to print
the value of an element of our array. Because of the fact that
the array's element (type Record_Type) has a variant size, the DWARF
info for our array provide the array's stride:
<1><749>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<74a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb6d): pck__T18s
<74e> DW_AT_byte_stride : 16
<74f> DW_AT_type : <0x6ea>
And because our array has a stride, ada-valprint treats it the same
way as packed arrays (see ada-valprint.c::ada_val_print_array):
if (TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (type, 0) > 0)
val_print_packed_array_elements (type, valaddr, offset_aligned,
0, stream, recurse,
original_value, options);
The first thing that we should notice in the call above is that
the "valaddr" buffer and the associated offset (OFFSET_ALIGNED)
is passed, but that the corresponding array's address is not.
This can be explained by looking inside val_print_packed_array_elements,
where we see that the function unpacks each element of our array from
the buffer alone (ada_value_primitive_packed_val), and then prints
the resulting artificial value instead:
v0 = ada_value_primitive_packed_val (NULL, valaddr + offset,
(i0 * bitsize) / HOST_CHAR_BIT,
(i0 * bitsize) % HOST_CHAR_BIT,
bitsize, elttype);
[...]
val_print (elttype, value_contents_for_printing (v0),
value_embedded_offset (v0), 0, stream,
recurse + 1, v0, &opts, current_language);
Of particular interest, here, is the fact that we call val_print
with a null address, which is OK, since we're providing a buffer
instead (value_contents_for_printing). Also, providing an address
might not always possible, since packing could place elements at
boundaries that are not byte-aligned.
Things go south when val_print tries to see if there is a pretty-printer
that could be applied. In particular, one of the first things that
the Python pretty-printer does is to create a value using our buffer,
and the given address, which in this case is null (see call to
value_from_contents_and_address in gdbpy_apply_val_pretty_printer).
value_from_contents_and_address, in turn immediately tries to resolve
the type, using the given address, which is null. But, because our
array element is a record containing an array whose bound is the value
of one of its elements (the "s" component), the debugging info for
the array's upper bound is a reference...
<3><71a>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<71b> DW_AT_type : <0x724>
<71f> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x703>
... to component "i" of our record...
<2><703>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_member)
<704> DW_AT_name : i
<706> DW_AT_decl_file : 2
<707> DW_AT_decl_line : 6
<708> DW_AT_type : <0x6d1>
<70c> DW_AT_data_member_location: 0
... where that component is located at offset 0 of the start
of the record. dwarf2_evaluate_property correctly determines
the offset where to load the value of the bound from, but then
tries to read that value from inferior memory using the address
that was given, which is null. See case PROP_ADDR_OFFSET in
dwarf2_evaluate_property:
val = value_at (baton->offset_info.type,
pinfo->addr + baton->offset_info.offset);
This triggers a memory error, which then causes the printing to terminate.
Since there are going to be situations where providing an address
alone is not going to be sufficient (packed arrays where array elements
are not stored at byte boundaries), this patch fixes the issue by
enhancing the type resolution to take both address and data. This
follows the same principle as the val_print module, where both
address and buffer ("valaddr") can be passed as arguments. If the data
has already been fetched from inferior memory (or provided by the
debugging info in some form -- Eg a constant), then use that data
instead of reading it from inferior memory.
Note that this should also be a good step towards being able to handle
dynamic types whose value is stored outside of inferior memory
(Eg: in a register).
With this patch, GDB isn't able to print all of A1, but does perform
a little better:
(gdb) p a1
$1 = ((i => 0, s => , (i => 1, s => , (i => 2, s => )

therefore be patched separately.

Consider the following (Ada) variable...
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
... where Array_Type is an array of records whose size is variable:

type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
Trying to print the value of this array currently results in the following
error:
(gdb) p a1
Cannot access memory at address 0x61c000
What happens in this case, is that the compiler describes our array
as an array with a specific stride (and bounds being static 1..3):
<1><749>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<74a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb6d): pck__T18s
<74e> DW_AT_byte_stride : 16
<74f> DW_AT_type : <0x6ea>
<2><757>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<758> DW_AT_type : <0x75e>
<75c> DW_AT_upper_bound : 3
This is because we cannot use, in this case, the size of the record
to determine that stride, since the size of the record depends on
its contents. So the compiler helps us by providing that stride.
The problems start when trying to resolve that type. Because the elements
contained in that array type are dynamic, the array itself is considered
dynamic, and thus we end up creating a resolved version of that array.
And during that resolution, we were not handling the case where the array
had a stride. See gdbtypes.c::resolve_dynamic_array...
return create_array_type (copy_type (type),
elt_type,
range_type);
As a result, we created an array whose stride was based on the size
of elt_type, which a record whose size isn't static and irrelevant
regardless.
This patch fixes is by calling create_array_type_with_stride instead.
As it happens, there is another issue for us to be able to print
the value of our array, but those are independent of this patch
and will be handled separately. For now, the patch allows us to
get rid of the first error, and the output is now:

Currently every fixup in the current segment is checked when relaxing
trampoline frag. This is very expensive. Make a searchable array of
fixups pointing at potentially oversized jumps at the beginning of every
relaxation pass and only check subset of this cache in the reach of
single jump from the trampoline frag currently being relaxed.

Hi,
I see this fails below on arm linux native testing and remote testing
with "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1",
rwatch global^M
There are not enough available hardware resources for this watchpoint.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp: always-inserted off: rwatch: twice: rwatch global
gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp sets two breakpoints/watchpoints on the
same address. GDB isn't smart enough calculate these two HW
watchpoints can fit in one HW debug register, so the error message
above isn't necessary (there is one HW watchpoint register on arm).
Because target_ops interface can_use_hardware_watchpoint doesn't
pass enough information to the target backend.
Note that if I don't "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1" in
remote testing, this test passes without fails. However without
"set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1", many other watchpoint
tests fail.
This patch is to add a check to skip_hw_watchpoint_multi_tests
for rwatch and awatch. We can add such check for watch as well,
but GDB is able to switch to software watchpoint if HW resource
isn't available, it doesn't cause any fail, I decide not to skip.

Note that the program stops in __syscall_pause, but its symbol is
stripped in glibc, so GDB doesn't know where the program stops.
__syscall_pause is a tail call in __libc_pause, so it returns to main
instead of __libc_pause. As a result, the backtrace is like,

looks GDB does nothing wrong here. I looked back at the test case
gdb.base/relativedebug.exp, which was added
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-10/msg00305.html
This test was indented to test the problem that "backtraces no longer
display some libc functions" after separate debug info is installed.
IOW, it makes few sense to test against libc which doesn't have debug
info at all, such as my case.
This patch is to tweak the test case to catch the output of
"info shared", if "(*)" is found for libc.so, which means libc doesn't
have debug info, then skip the test.

There are targets GDB thinks support hardware watchpoints, but in reality they
don't. Though it may seem that hardware watchpoint creation was successful,
the actual insertion of such watchpoint will fail when GDB moves the inferior.

We can avoid these errors/FAILs by checking the board data and switching to
software watchpoints if the board does not support hardware watchpoints.

This is another case of the testcase not handling memory write errors that
