In my tour of the ui_file subsystem, I found that fputstr and fputstrn
can be simplified. The _filtered forms are never used (and IMO
unlikely to ever be used) and so can be removed. And, the interface
can be simplified by removing a callback function and moving the
implementation directly to ui_file.
A new self-test is included. Previously, I think nothing was testing
this code.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
gdbtypes.h uses core_addr_eq and core_addr_hash in a weird way: taking
the address of a member and then passing this (as a void*) to these
functions.
It seems better to simply inline the ordinary code here. CORE_ADDR is
a scalar so it can be directly compared, and the identity hash
function seems safe to assume as well.
After this, core_addr_eq and core_addr_hash are unused, so this patch
removes them.
gdb_print_host_address is just a simple wrapper around
fprintf_filtered. However, it is readily replaced in all callers by a
combination of %s and call to host_address_to_string. This also
simplifies the code, so I think it's worthwhile to remove this
function.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 64.
gdb_bfd.c contains most of gdb's BFD-related utility functions.
However, gdb_bfd_errmsg is in utils.c. It seemed better to me to move
this out of util.[ch] and into the BFD-related file instead.
Tested by rebuilding.
This removes the print_spaces helper function, in favor of using the
"*%s" idiom that's already used in many places in gdb. One spot (in
symmisc.c) is changed to use print_spaces_filtered, because the rest
of that function is using filtered output. (This highlights one way
that the printf idiom is better -- this error is harder to make when
using that.)
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
I noticed that puts_debug isn't used in the tree. git log tells me
that the last use was removed in 2015:
commit 40e0b27177
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Date: Mon Aug 24 15:40:26 2015 +0100
Delete the remaining ROM monitor targets
... and this commit mentions that the code being removed here probably
hadn't worked for 6 years prior to that.
Based on this, I'm removing puts_debug. I don't think it's useful.
Tested by rebuilding.
n_spaces keeps the spaces in a static buffer. If a caller overwrites
these, it may give an incorrect result to a subsequent caller. So,
make the return type const to help avoid this outcome.
This commits adds const versions for the GET and AS_ARRAX_VIEW methods
of gdb_argv. Those methods will be required in the following patch of
the series.
In a bigger series I'm working on, it is convenient to have a
libiberty hash table that manages objects allocated with 'new'. To
make this simpler, I wrote a small template function to serve as a
concise wrapper. Then I realized that this could be reused in a few
other places.

After seeing Simon's patch, I thought maybe it was finally time to
remove printfi_filtered and fprintfi_filtered, in favor of using the
"%*s" approach to indenting.
In this patch I took the straightforward approach of always adding a
leading "%*s", even when the format already started with "%s", to
avoid the trickier form of:
printf ("%*s", -indent, string)

This function is not just slower than xxhash, it is slower than
even libiberty's iterative_hash, so there does not seem to be
a reason for it to exist.

XXHash is faster than htab_hash_string:

Unfortunately, XXH3 is still experimental (see
https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash#user-content-new-experimental-hash-algorithm)
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.
Debian ships xxhash as libxxhash{0,-dev}. Fedora ships it as xxhash-devel.

This introduces a few gdb-specific %p format suffixes. This is useful
for emitting gdb-specific output in an ergonomic way. It also yields
code that is more i18n-friendly.
The comment before ui_out::message explains the details.
Note that the tests had to change a little. When using one of the gdb
printf functions with styling, there can be spurious style changes
emitted to the output. This did not seem worthwhile to fix, as the
low-level output functions are rather spaghetti-ish already, and I
didn't want to make them even worse.
This change also necessitated adding support for "*" as precision and
width in format_pieces. These are used in various spots in gdb, and
it seemed better to me to implement them than to remove the uses.

I touched symtab.h and was surprised to see how many files were
rebuilt. I looked into it a bit, and found that defs.h includes
gdbarch.h, which in turn includes many things.
gdbarch.h is only needed by a minority ofthe files in gdb, so this
patch removes the include from defs.h and updates the fallout.
I did "wc -l" on the files in build/gdb/.deps; this patch reduces the
line count from 139935 to 137030; so there are definitely future
build-time savings here.
Note that while I configured with --enable-targets=all, it's possible
that some *-nat.c file needs an update. I could not test all of
these. The buildbot caught a few problems along these lines.

Have 'show style' and its subcommands using a style to style its output.
This allows the GDB user or developer to use 'show style' to visually see
with one command how all the current styles look like.
Add 2 new styles highlight style, title style and fputs_highlighted function.
Highlight style is used by fputs_highlighted to highlight the parts of
its char *STR argument that match a HIGHLIGHT regexp.
This (and the title style) will be used in a following patch.
'thread|frame apply CMD' launches CMD so that CMD output goes to a string_file.
This patch ensures that string_file for such CMD output contains
style escape sequences that 'thread|frame apply' will later on
output on the real terminal, so as to have CMD output properly styled.
The idea is to have the class ui_file having overridable methods
to indicate that the output to this ui_file should be done using
'terminal' behaviour such as styling.
Then these methods are overriden in string_file so that a specially
constructed string_file will get output with style escape sequences.
After this patch, the output of CMD by thread|frame apply CMD is styled
similarly as when CMD is launched directly.
Note that string_file (term_out true) could also support wrapping,
but this is not done (yet?).
Tested on debian/amd64.

This adds some output styling to the CLI.
A style is currently a foreground color, a background color, and an
intensity (dim or bold). (This list could be expanded depending on
terminal capabilities.)
A style can be applied while printing. For ui-out, this is done by
passing the style constant as an argument. For low-level cases,
fprintf_styled and fputs_styled are provided.
Users can control the style via a number of new set/show commands. In
the interest of not typing many nearly-identical documentation
strings, I automated this. On the down side, this is not very
i18n-friendly.
I've chose some default colors to use. I think it would be good to
enable this by default, so that when users start the new gdb, they
will see the new feature.
Stylizing is done if TERM is set and is not "dumb". This could be
improved when the TUI is available by using the curses has_colors
call. That is, the lowest layer could call this without committing to
using curses everywhere; see my other patch for TUI colorizing.
I considered adding a new "set_style" method to ui_file. However,
because the implementation had to interact with the pager code, I
didn't take this approach. But, one idea might be to put the isatty
check there and then have it defer to the lower layers.

This patch deletes ada-lang.c's move_bits function entirely, and
replaces all calls to it by calls to copy_bitwise instead. Because
the latter function was declared locally inside dwarf2loc.c, this
patch also move the function to a common area, and makes it non-static.

copy_bitwise instead.

This changes gdb_bfd_errmsg to return a std::string, removing a
cleanup. This approach may be slightly less efficient than the
previous code, but I don't believe this is very important in this
situation.

I'm checking this in as obvious. Tested by rebuilding, and by

Some unaligned watchpoints were currently missed.
On old kernels as specified in
kernel RFE: aarch64: ptrace: BAS: Support any contiguous range (edit)
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20207
after this patch some other unaligned watchpoints will get reported as false
positives.
With new kernels all the watchpoints should work exactly.
There may be a regresion that it now less merges watchpoints so that with
multiple overlapping watchpoints it may run out of the 4 hardware watchpoint
registers. But as discussed in the original thread GDB needs some generic
watchpoints merging framework to be used by all the target specific code.
Even current FSF GDB code does not merge it perfectly. Also with the more
precise watchpoints one can technically merge them less. And I do not think
it matters too much to improve mergeability only for old kernels.
Still even on new kernels some better merging logic would make sense.
There remains one issue:
kernel-4.15.14-300.fc27.armv7hl
FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue
FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Unexpected error setting watchpoint: Invalid argument.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue
But that looks as a kernel bug to me.
(1) It is not a regression by this patch.
(2) It is unrelated to this patch.

Enabling "set debug lin-lwp 1" with the MI interpreter doesn't work.
When the sigchld_handler function wants to print a debug output
("sigchld\n"), it uses ui_file_write_async_safe. This ends up in the
default implementation of ui_file::write_async_safe, which aborts GDB.
This patch implements the write_async_safe method for mi_console_file.
The "normal" MI output is line buffered, which means the output
accumulates in m_buffer until a \n is written, at which point it's
flushed in m_raw. The implementation of write_async_safe provided by
this patch bypasses this buffer and writes directly to m_raw. There are
two reasons for this:
(1) Appending to m_buffer (therefore to an std::string) is probably not
async-safe, as it may allocate memory.
(2) We may have a partial output already in m_buffer, so that would lead
to some nested MI output, not so great.
There is probably still a chance to have bad MI output, if
sigchld_handler is invoked in the middle of mi_console_file's flush, and
the line being flushed is only partially sent to m_raw. The solution
would probably be to block signals during flushing. Since this is only
used for debug output, I don't know if it's worth the effort to do that.
To implement write_async_safe, I needed to use the fputstrn_unfiltered,
which does the necessary escaping (e.g. replace \n with \\n). I started
by adding printchar's callback parameters to fputstrn_unfiltered, to be
able to pass async-safe versions of them. It's not easy to provide an
async-safe version of do_fprintf, but it turns out that we can easily
replace printchar's callbacks with a single do_fputc quite easily. The
async-safe version of do_fputc simply calls the underlying ui_file's
write_async_safe method.

for the removal of some cleanups.

I wanted to use streq with std::unique in another (upcoming) patch in
this seres, so I changed it to return bool. To my surprise, this lead
to regressions. The cause turned out to be that streq was used as an
htab callback -- by casting it to the correct function type. This
sort of cast is invalid, so this patch adds a variant which is
directly suitable for use by htab. (Note that I did not add an
overload, as I could not get that to work with template deduction in
the other patch.)
