Following on from the previous commit, this commit changes the API of
value_struct_elt to take gdb::optional<gdb::array_view<value *>>
instead of a pointer to the gdb::array_view.
This makes the optional nature of the array_view parameter explicit.
This commit is purely a refactoring commit, there should be no user
visible change after this commit.
I have deliberately kept this refactor separate from the previous two
commits as this is a more extensive change, and I'm not 100% sure that
using gdb::optional for the parameter type, instead of a pointer, is
going to be to everyone's taste. If there's push back on this patch
then this one can be dropped from the series.

After the previous commit, this commit updates the value_struct_elt
function to take an array_view rather than a NULL terminated array of
values.
The requirement for a NULL terminated array of values actually stems
from typecmp, so the change from an array to array_view needs to be
propagated through to this function.
While making this change I noticed that this fixes another bug, in
value_x_binop and value_x_unop GDB creates an array of values which
doesn't have a NULL at the end. An array_view of this array is passed
to value_user_defined_op, which then unpacks the array_view and passed
the raw array to value_struct_elt, but only if the language is not
C++.
As value_x_binop and value_x_unop can only request member functions
with the names of C++ operators, then most of the time, assuming the
inferior is not a C++ program, then GDB will not find a matching
member function with the call to value_struct_elt, and so typecmp will
never be called, and so, GDB will avoid undefined behaviour.
However, it is worth remembering that, when GDB's language is set to
"auto", the current language is selected based on the language of the
current compilation unit. As C++ programs usually link against libc,
which is written in C, then, if the inferior is stopped in libc GDB
will set the language to C. And so, it is possible that we will end
up using value_struct_elt to try and lookup, and match, a C++
operator. If this occurs then GDB will experience undefined
behaviour.
I have extended the test added in the previous commit to also cover
this case.
Finally, this commit changes the API from passing around a pointer to
an array to passing around a pointer to an array_view. The reason for
this is that we need to be able to distinguish between the cases where
we call value_struct_elt with no arguments, i.e. we are looking up a
struct member, but we either don't have the arguments we want to pass
yet, or we don't expect there to be any need for GDB to use the
argument types to resolve any overloading; and the second case where
we call value_struct_elt looking for a function that takes no
arguments, that is, the argument list is empty.
NOTE: While writing this I realise that if we pass an array_view at
all then it will always have at least one item in it, the `this'
pointer for the object we are planning to call the method on. So we
could, I guess, pass an empty array_view to indicate the case where we
don't know anything about the arguments, and when the array_view is
length 1 or more, it means we do have the arguments. However, though
we could do this, I don't think this would be better, the length 0 vs
length 1 difference seems a little too subtle, I think that there's a
better solution...
I think a better solution would be to wrap the array_view in a
gdb::optional, this would make the whole, do we have an array view or
not question explicit.
I haven't done this as part of this commit as making that change is
much more extensive, every user of value_struct_elt will need to be
updated, and as this commit already contains a bug fix, I wanted to
keep the large refactoring in a separate commit, so, check out the
next commit for the use of gdb::optional.

This regression, as it is exposed by the test added in this commit,
first became noticable with this commit:
commit d182f27979
Date: Mon Mar 8 07:27:57 2021 -0700
Convert c-exp.y to use operations
But, this commit only added converted the C expression parser to make
use of code that was added in this commit:
commit a00b7254fb
Date: Mon Mar 8 07:27:57 2021 -0700
Implement function call operations
And it was this second commit that actually introduced the bugs (there
are two).
In structop_base_operation::evaluate_funcall we build up an argument
list in the vector vals. Later in this function the argument list
might be passed to value_struct_elt.
Prior to commit a00b7254fb the vals vector (or argvec as it used to
be called) stored the value for the function callee in the argvec at
index 0. This 'callee' value is what ends up being passed to
evaluate_subexp_do_call, and represents the function to be called, the
value contents are the address of the function, and the value type is
the function signature. The remaining items held in the argvec were
the values to pass to the function. For a non-static member function
the `this' pointer would be at index 1 in the array.
After commit a00b7254fb this callee value is now held in a separate
variable, not the vals array. So, for non-static member functions,
the `this' pointer is now at index 0, with any other arguments after
that.
What this means is that previous, when we called value_struct_elt we
would pass the address of argvec[1] as this was the first argument.
But now we should be passing the address of vals[0]. Unfortunately,
we are still passing vals[1], effectively skipping the first
argument.
The second issue is that, prior to commit a00b7254fb, the argvec
array was NULL terminated. This is required as value_struct_elt
calls search_struct_method, which calls typecmp, and typecmp requires
that the array have a NULL at the end.
After commit a00b7254fb this NULL has been lost, and we are
therefore violating the API requirements of typecmp.
This commit fixes both of these regressions. I also extended the
header comments on search_struct_method and value_struct_elt to make
it clearer that the array required a NULL marker at the end.
You will notice in the test attached to this commit that I test
calling a non-static member function, but not calling a static member
function. The reason for this is that calling static member functions
is currently broken due to a different bug. That will be fixed in a
later patch in this series, at which time I'll add a test for calling
a static member function.

In `expression::evaluate (...)' there is a call to `inferior_thread
()' that is guarded by `target_has_execution ()':
struct value *
expression::evaluate (struct type *expect_type, enum noside noside)
{
gdb::optional<enable_thread_stack_temporaries> stack_temporaries;
if (target_has_execution ()
&& language_defn->la_language == language_cplus
&& !thread_stack_temporaries_enabled_p (inferior_thread ()))
stack_temporaries.emplace (inferior_thread ());
The `target_has_execution ()' guard maps onto `inf->pid' and the
`inferior_thread ()' call assumes that `current_thread_' is set to
something meaningful:
struct thread_info*
inferior_thread (void)
{
gdb_assert (current_thread_ != nullptr);
return current_thread_;
}
In other words, it is assumed that if `inf->pid' is set then
`current_thread_' must also be set. This does not hold at the point
where inferior exit observers are notified:
- `generic_mourn_inferior (...)'
- `switch_to_no_thread ()'
- `current_thread_ = nullptr;'
- `exit_inferior (...)'
- `gdb::observers::inferior_exit.notify (...)'
- `inf->pid = 0'
The inferior exit notification means that a Python handler can get a
chance to run while `current_thread' has been cleared and the
`inf->pid' has not been cleared. Since the Python handler can call any
GDB command with `gdb.execute(...)' (in my case `gdb.execute("set
$_a=0")' we can end up evaluating expressions and asserting in
`evaluate_subexp (...)'.
This patch adds a test in `evaluate_subexp (...)' to check the global
`inferior_ptid' which is reset at the same time as `current_thread_'.
Checking `inferior_ptid' at the same time as `target_has_execution ()'
seems to be a common pattern:
$ git grep -n -e inferior_ptid --and -e target_has_execution
gdb/breakpoint.c:2998: && (inferior_ptid == null_ptid || !target_has_execution ()))
gdb/breakpoint.c:3054: && (inferior_ptid == null_ptid || !target_has_execution ()))

The internal AdaCore test suite revealed a bug in the new evaluator.
A hunk of evaluate_funcall was not correctly transcribed. This was
not caught in my original testing because the feature in question was
apparently not tested in gdb.
This patch fixes the oversight. The idea here is that ordinary
function calls should use the function's formal parameter types as the
expected types of subexpressions.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 32.

This adds an expr::operation_up to struct expression, and then

The list of such spots was a bit surprising to me, and found only
after writing most of the code and then noticing what no longer
compiled.
In a few spots, new accessor methods are added to operation
subclasses, so that code that dissects an expression will work with
the new scheme.
After this change, code that constructs an expression can be switched
to the new form without breaking.

This implement function call operations.
The current function call code relies on some very lengthy code
(evaluate_funcall is 398 lines...) to distinguish between the
different opcodes that might appear in the callee position.
Rather than try to replicate this, and have a function that tried to
dissect many different kinds of operation subclass, this patch instead
puts the work into the callee. A new operation::evaluate_funcall
method is added, and then this is overridden in the classes that
require special treatment.

This patch introduces class operation, the new base class for all
expression operations.
In the new approach, an operation is simply a class that presents a
certain interface. Operations own their operands, and management is
done via unique_ptr.
The operation interface is largely ad hoc, based on the evolution of
expression handling in GDB. Parts (for example,
evaluate_with_coercion) are probably redundant; however I took this
approach to try to avoid mixing different kinds of refactorings.
In some specific situations, rather than add a generic method across
the entire operation class hierarchy, I chose instead to use
dynamic_cast and specialized methods on certain concrete subclasses.
This will appear in some subsequent patches.
One goal of this work is to avoid the kinds of easy-to-make errors
that affected the old implementation. To this end, some helper
subclasses are also added here. These helpers automate the
implementation of the 'dump', 'uses_objfile', and 'constant_p'
methods. Nearly every concrete operation that is subsequently added
will use these facilities. (Note that the 'dump' implementation is
only outlined here, the body appears in the next patch.)
