This adds some operators and methods to gdb_mpq, in preparation for

This only adds the operators currently needed by gdb. More could be
added as necessary.
This adds various methods and operators to gdb_mpz, as a step toward
hiding the implementation.
This only adds the operators that were needed. Many more could be

gmp-utils.h includes "defs.h", but normally the rule in gdb is that
the .c files include this first. This patch changes this code to
match the rest of gdb.
Tom de Vries pointed out that one DAP test failed on Python 3.6
because gdb.Frame is not hashable.
This patch fixes the problem by using a list to hold the frames. This
is less efficient but there normally won't be that many frames.

Add a test-case that tests the sanity of target/host boards.
It contains a number of tests related to remote file manipulation, exercising:
- remote_upload
- remote_download
- remote_file exists
- remote_file delete
which check that these work together as expected.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with all relevant gdb/testsuite/boards/*.exp boards.
For target board remote-stdio-gdbserver.exp, this revealed a trivial problem
with the return value of proc ${board}_file for delete, so fix this.
The test-case shows that the proc ${board}_download in
local-remote-host-native.exp is broken, so remove it.
Likewise for board local-remote-host.exp, so remove proc ${board}_download and
associated ${board}_file.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

The gdbarch::max_insn_length field is used mostly to support displaced
stepping; it controls the size of the buffers allocated for the
displaced-step instruction, and is also used when first copying the
instruction, and later, when fixing up the instruction, in order to
read in and parse the instruction being stepped.
However, it has started to be used in other places in GDB, for
example, it's used in the Python disassembler API, and it is used on
amd64 as part of branch-tracing instruction classification.
The problem is that the value assigned to max_insn_length is not
always the maximum instruction length, but sometimes is a multiple of
that length, as required to support displaced stepping, see rs600,
ARM, and AArch64 for examples of this.
It seems to me that we are overloading the meaning of the
max_insn_length field, and I think that could potentially lead to
confusion.
I propose that we add a new gdbarch field,
gdbarch::displaced_step_buffer_length, this new field will do
exactly what it says on the tin; represent the required displaced step
buffer size. The max_insn_length field can then do exactly what it
claims to do; represent the maximum length of a single instruction.
As some architectures (e.g. i386, and amd64) only require their
displaced step buffers to be a single instruction in size, I propose
that the default for displaced_step_buffer_length will be the
value of max_insn_length. Architectures than need more buffer space
can then override this default as needed.
I've updated all architectures to setup the new field if appropriate,
and I've audited all calls to gdbarch_max_insn_length and switched to
gdbarch_displaced_step_buffer_length where appropriate.

This commit switches the default value for the 'invalid' field from
False to True. All components that previous set the invalid field to
True explicitly have had the field removed.
I think that True is a good choice for the default, this means that we
now get the validity checks by default, and if anyone adds a new
Component they need to make a choice to add an 'invalid=False' line
and disable the validation.
The flip side of this is that 'invalid=False' seems to be far more
common than 'invalid=True'. But I don't see a huge problem with this,
we shouldn't be aiming to reduce our typing, rather we should choose
based on which is least likely to introduce bugs. I think assuming
that we should do a validity check will achieve that.
Some additional components need to have an 'invalid=False' line added
to their definition, these are components that have a predefault
value, which is sufficient; the tdep code doesn't need to replace this
value if it doesn't want to.
Without adding the 'invalid=False' these components would be
considered to be invalid if they have not changed from their
predefault value -- but the predefault is fine.
There's no change in the generated code after this commit, so there
will be no user visible changes after this commit.

I noticed that there are a bunch of 'predefault="0"' lines in
gdbarch_components.py, and that some (just some, not all) of these are
not needed.
The gdbarch is already zero initialized, but these lines seem to
exists so that we can know when to compare against "0" and when to
compare against "NULL". At least, this seems to be useful in some
places in the generated code.
Specifically, if we remove the predefault="0" line from the
max_insn_length component then we end up generating a line like:
gdb_assert (gdbarch->max_insn_length != NULL);
which doesn't compile as we compare a ULONGEST to NULL.
In this commit I remove all the predefault="0" lines that I claim are
obviously not needed. These are lines for components that are not
Values (i.e. the component holds a function pointer anyway), or for
Value components that hold a pointer type, in which case using NULL is
fine.
The only changes after this commit are some fields that have nullptr
as their initial value, and gcore_bfd_target now compares to NULL not
0 in gdbarch_gcore_bfd_target_p, which, given the field is of type
'const char *', seems like an improvement.

We currently generate some validation code within the gdbarch getter
methods.
This commit adjusts the algorithm used to generate this validation
slightly to make the gdbarch.py code (I think) clearer; there's no
significant changes to what is generated.
The validation algorithm for gdbarch values is now:
- If the Value has an 'invalid' field that is a string, use that for
validation,
- If the Value has its 'predicate' field set to true, then check the
predicate returns true, this ensures the predicate has been
called,
- If the Value has its 'invalid' field set to True, or the Value has
'postdefault' field, then check the fields has changed from its
initial value,
- Otherwise no validation is performed.
The only changes after this commit are:
- Some comments change slightly, and
- For 'gcore_bfd_target' and 'max_insn_length' we now validate by
calling the predicate rather than checking the field value
directly, the underlying check being performed is unchanged
though.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

For some reason the following value components of gdbarch:
bfloat16_format
half_format
float_format
double_format
long_double_format
so_ops
All use a postdefault but no predefault to set the default value for
the component.
As the postdefault values for these components are all constant
pointers that don't depend on other fields within the gdbarch, then I
don't see any reason why we couldn't use a predefault instead.
So lets do that.

This commit ensures that the 'invalid' property of all components is
either True, False, or a string.
Additionally, this commit allows a component to have both a predicate
and for the 'invalid' property to be a string.
Removing the option for 'invalid' to be None allows us to simplify the
algorithms in gdbarch.py a little.
Allowing a component to have both a predicate and an 'invalid' string
means that we can validate the value that a tdep sets into a field,
but also allow a predicate to ensure that the field has changed from
the default.
This functionality isn't going to be used in this series, but I have
tested it locally and believe that it would work, and this might make
it easier for others to add new components in the future.
In gdbarch_types.py, I've updated the type annotations to show that
the 'invalid' field should not be None, and I've changed the default
for this field from None to False.
The change to using False as the default is temporary. Later in this
series I'm going to change the default to True, but we need more fixes
before that can be done.
Additionally, in gdbarch_types.py I've removed an assert from
Component.get_predicate. This assert ensured that we didn't have the
predicate field set to True and the invalid field set to a string.
However, no component currently uses this configuration, and after
this commit, that combination is now supported, so the assert can be
removed.
As a consequence of the gdbarch_types.py changes we see some
additional comments generated in gdbarch.c about verification being
skipped due to the invalid field being False. This comment is inline
with plenty of other getters that also have a similar comment. Plenty
of the getters do have validation, so I think it is reasonable to have
a comment noting that the validation has been skipped for a specific
reason, rather than due to some bug.
In gdbarch_components.py I've had to add 'invalid=True' for two
components: gcore_bfd_target and max_insn_length, without this the
validation in the gdbarch getter would disappear.
And in gdbarch.py I've reworked the logic for generating the
verify_gdbarch function, and for generating the getter functions.
The logic for generating the getter functions is still not ideal, I
ended up having to add this additional logic block:
elif c.postdefault is not None and c.predefault is not None:
print(" /* Check variable changed from pre-default. */", file=f)
print(f" gdb_assert (gdbarch->{c.name} != {c.predefault});", file=f)
which was needed to ensure we continued to generate the same code as
before, without this the fact that invalid is now False when it would
previously have been None, meant that we dropped the gdb_assert in
favour of a comment like:
print(f" /* Skip verify of {c.name}, invalid_p == 0 */", file=f)
which is clearly not a good change. We could potentially look at
improving this in a later commit, but I don't plan to do that in this
series.

Restructure how gdbarch.py generates the verify_gdbarch function.
Previously the postdefault handling was bundled together with the
validation. This means that a field can't have both a postdefault,
and set its invalid attribute to a string.
This doesn't seem reasonable to me, I see no reason why a field can't
have both a postdefault (used when the tdep doesn't set the field),
and an invalid expression, which can be used to validate the value
that a tdep might set.
In this commit I restructure the verify_gdbarch generation code to
allow the above, there is no change in the actual generated code in
this commit, that will come in later commit.

Following on from the previous commit, this commit removes yet more
'invalid=True' lines from gdbarch_components.py where the invalid
setting has no effect.
Due to the algorithm used in gdbarch.py for generated verify_gdbarch,
if a component has a postdefault value then no invalid check will ever
be generated for the component, as such setting 'invalid=True' on the
component is pointless. This commit removes the setting of invalid.
There is no change in the generated code after this commit.

gdb 13.1 crashes while running the rust compiler's debugger tests.
The crash has a number of causes.
First, the rust compiler still uses the C++-like _Z mangling, but with
its own twist -- some hex digits added to the end of a symbol. So,
while gdb finds the correct name of "main":
(top-gdb) p name
$13 = 0x292e0c0 "rustc_gdb_1031745::main"
It isn't found in the minsyms, because C++ demangling yields:
[99] t 0x90c0 _ZN17rustc_gdb_10317454main17h5b5be7fe16a97225E section .text rustc_gdb_1031745::main::h5b5be7fe16a97225 zko06yobckx336v
This could perhaps be fixed. I also filed a new PR to suggest
preferring the linkage name of the main program.
Next, the rust compiler emits both a DW_TAG_subprogram and a
DW_TAG_namespace for "main". This happens because the file is named
"main.rs" -- i.e., the bug is specific to the source file name. The
crash also seems to require the nested function inside of 'main', at
least for me. The namespace always is generated, but perhaps this
changes the ordering in the DWARF.
When inside_main_func looks up the main symbol, it finds the namespace
symbol rather than the function. (I filed a bug about fixing gdb's
symbol tables -- long overdue.)
Meanwhile, as I think it's important to fix this crash sooner rather
than later, this patch changes inside_main_func to check that the
symbol that is found is LOC_BLOCK. This perhaps should have been done
in the first place, anyway.

local-remote-host-native.exp, we run into:
...

while this passes with USE_TUI=0.
The problem is that the TUI setup code uses "setenv TERM ansi", which has no
effect on remote host.
I can confirm this analysis by working around this problem in
local-remote-host-native.exp like this:
...
- spawn $RSH -t -l $username $remote $cmd
+ spawn $RSH -t -l $username $remote "export TERM=ansi; $cmd"
...
For now, simply make TUI unsupported for remote host, by returning 0 in
prepare_for_tui.

Once in a while I find myself rewriting a TUI test-case into a non-TUI
test-case, to better understand whether the problem I'm looking at is
related to the TUI or not.
I've got the impression that I've done this sufficiently often that it's worth
committing the non-TUI version, so having just written a non-TUI version of
gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp, let's commit it.
The non-TUI version can be enabled by doing:
...
$ make check "RUNTESTFLAGS=gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp USE_TUI=0"
...
Also remove hard-coding of a source line number.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

...
require !use_gdb_stub
if { [target_info gdb_protocol] == "extended-remote" } {

return
}
...
So with target board native-gdbserver we get:
...
UNSUPPORTED: gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp: require failed: !use_gdb_stub
...
and with target board native-extended-gdbserver instead:
...
UNTESTED: gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp: not supported

Fix this by:
- adding an optional argument target_description to proc
target_can_use_run_cmd
- handling the target_description == core &&
[target_info gdb_protocol] == "extended-remote" case in the proc
- using require {target_can_use_run_cmd core}

Linetables no longer change after they are created. This patch
applies const to them.
Note there is one hack to cast away const in mdebugread.c. This code
allocates a linetable using 'malloc', then later copies it to the

I have no way of testing it.

This changes linetables to not add the text offset to the addresses
they contain. I did this in a few steps, necessarily combined
together in one patch: I renamed the 'pc' member to 'm_pc', added the
appropriate accessors, and then recompiled. Then I fixed all the
errors. Where possible I generally chose to use the raw_pc accessor,
as it is less expensive.
Note that this patch discounts the possibility that the text section
offset might cause wraparound in the addresses in the line table.
However, this was already discounted -- in particular,
objfile_relocate1 did not re-sort the table in this scenario. (There
was a bug open about this, but as far as I can tell this has never
happened, it's not even clear what inspired that bug.)
