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.
The main complication with the Guile code is that we have two types of
exceptions to consider. GDB/C++ exceptions, and Guile/SJLJ
exceptions. Code that is facing the Guile interpreter must not throw
GDB exceptions, instead Scheme exceptions must be thrown. Also,
because Guile exceptions are SJLJ based, Guile-facing code must not
use local objects with dtors, unless wrapped in a scope with a
TRY/CATCH, because the dtors won't otherwise be run when a Guile
exceptions is thrown.
This commit adds a new gdbscm_wrap wrapper function than encapsulates
a pattern I noticed in many of the functions using
GDBSCM_HANDLE_GDB_EXCEPTION_WITH_CLEANUPS. The wrapper is written
such that you can pass either a lambda to it, or a function plus a
variable number of forwarded args. I used a lambda when its body
would be reasonably short, and a separate function in the larger
cases.
This also convers a few functions that were using
GDBSCM_HANDLE_GDB_EXCEPTION to use gdbscm_wrap too because they
followed a similar pattern.
A few cases of make_cleanup calls are replaced with explicit xfree
calls. The make_cleanup/do_cleanups calls in those cases are
pointless, because do_cleanups won't be called when a Scheme exception
is thrown.
We also have a couple cases of Guile-facing code using RAII-type
objects to manage memory, but those are incorrect, exactly because
their dtor won't be called if a Guile exception is thrown.

2018-07-18 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>

The last remaing use for DOUBLEST is in the code that interfaces to the
scripting languages (Python and Guile). The problem here is that we
expose interfaces to convert a GDB value to and from native values of
floating-point type in those languages, and those by definition use
the host floating-point format.
While we cannot completely eliminate conversions to/from the host
floating-point format here, we still need to get rid of the uses
of value_as_double / value_from_double, since those will go away.
This patch implements two new target-float.c routine:
- target_float_to_host_double
- target_float_from_host_double
which convert to/from a host "double". Those should only ever be
used where a host "double" is mandated by an external interface.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:

Building GDB in C++ mode on Fedora 20, the gdb/guile/ code shows ~280

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++.
