This rewrites gdb's TRY/CATCH to plain C++ try/catch. The patch was
largely written by script, though one change (to a comment in
common-exceptions.h) was reverted by hand.

This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This changes a couple of spots in guile/ to remove a variable
declaration but to still call a function for effect.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-07-22 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* guile/scm-cmd.c (gdbscm_dont_repeat): Call
cmdscm_get_valid_command_smob_arg_unsafe for effect.
* guile/scm-block.c (gdbscm_make_block_syms_iter): Call
bkscm_get_valid_block_smob_arg_unsafe for effect.
This changes gdbscm_scm_to_string to return a unique_xmalloc_ptr and
then fixes all the callers. This allows for the removal of some
cleanups.

* guile/scm-param.c (pascm_set_func, pascm_show_func)
(compute_enum_list, pascm_set_param_value_x)
(gdbscm_parameter_value): Update.
* guile/guile-internal.h (gdbscm_scm_to_string): Update.
(gdbscm_scm_to_host_string): Update.

* guile/scm-string.c (gdbscm_scm_to_string): Return
unique_xmalloc_ptr.
(gdbscm_scm_to_host_string): Likewise.
This changes gdbscm_exception_message_to_string to return a
unique_xmalloc_ptr, allowing for the removal of some cleanups.
unique_xmalloc_ptr was chosen because at the root of the call chains
is a function from Guile that returns a malloc'd string.

* guile/scm-param.c (pascm_signal_setshow_error): Update.

* guile/scm-pretty-print.c
(ppscm_print_exception_unless_memory_error): Update.
* guile/scm-exception.c (gdbscm_exception_message_to_string):
Return unique_xmalloc_ptr.
This adds two add_cmd overloads: one whose callback takes a const char *,
and one that doesn't accept a function at all. The no-function overload
was introduced to avoid ambiguity when NULL was passed as the function.
Long term the goal is for all commands to take const arguments, and
for the non-const variants to be removed entirely.

2017-09-27 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

overload.

overload.
This patch reworks the whole completion machinery, and prepares it
for later enhancements.
Adds a new "completion_tracker" class that is meant to hold everything
about the state of the current completion operation.
This class now has the responsibility of tracking the list of
completion matches, and checking whether the max completions limit has
been reached. You can look at this as this patch starting out by
C++fying the existing "completion_tracker" in symtab.c (it's just an
htab_t typedef currently), moving it to completer.h/c, and then making
it a class/generalizing/enhancing it.
Unlike with the current tracking, completion_tracker now checks
whether the limit has been reached on each completion match list
insertion. This both simplifies the max-completions handling code
(maybe_add_completion_enum is gone, for example), and is a
prerequisite for follow up patches.
The current completion_tracker is only used for symbol completions,
and the symbol code gets at the current instance via globals. This
patch cleans that up by adding a completion_tracker reference to the
signature of the completion functions, and passing the tracker around
everywhere necessary.
Then, the patch changes how the completion match list is handed over
to readline. Currently, we're using the rl_completion_entry_function
readline entry point, and the patch switches to
rl_attempted_completion_function. A following patch will want to let
GDB itself decide the common completion prefix between all matches
(what readline calls the "lowest common denominator"), instead of
having readline compute it, and that's not possible with the
rl_completion_entry_function entry point. Also,
rl_attempted_completion_function lets GDB hand over the match list to
readline as an array in one go instead of passing down matches one by
one, so from that angle it's a nicer entry point anyway.
Lastly, the patch catches exceptions around the readline entry points,
because we can't let C++ exceptions cross readline. We handle that in
the readline input entry point, but the completion entry point isn't
guarded, so GDB can abort if completion throws. E.g., in current
master:
(gdb) b -function "fun<tab>
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted (core dumped)
This patch fixes that. This will be exercised in the new tests added
later on in the series.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which

Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
There is a handful of calls to
scm_dynwind_begin (0);
where the parameter is an enum, scm_t_dynwind_flags. In C++, we have no
choice but to add an explicit cast, since there is no enum value that
represents 0 (no flags set).

Pedro Alves:
The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual.
Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really
be using the --xdb switch.
I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I
looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked
potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias
for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end".
I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially
more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated,
e.g., for golang).

* gdb.texinfo (Mode Options): Remove -xdb.
Re-registering a command will delete previous commands of the same name,
running the destroyer for the command object. The Guile destroyer
incorrectly tried to xfree the name and other strings, which is invalid
as they are on the GC heap.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* guile/scm-cmd.c (cmdscm_destroyer): Don't xfree the name and
other strings, as these are on the GC'd heap, and will be
collected along with the smob.
This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.
