Consider the following code:
type Table is array (Character) of Natural;
My_Table : Table := (others => 4874);
Printing this table in gdb leads to:
(gdb) p my_table
$1 = ('["00"]' => 4874 <repeats 256 times>)
In this case, the index of the first element in this array is also
the first element of the index type (character type). Similar to what
we do we enumeration types, we do not need to print the index of the
first element when printing the array.
This patch fixes this issue and changes the output as follow:
(gdb) p my_table
$1 = (4874 <repeats 256 times>)

This commit adds a new testcase testing the "check-psymtabs" and

Subject: Introduce lookup_name_info and generalize Ada's FULL/WILD name matching
The purpose of the testcase is to verify that a user can insert
a breakpoint on a C function while debugging Ada, even if the name
of the function includes uppercase letters, requiring us to use
Ada's "<...>" notation to tell the GDB that the symbol name should
be looked up verbatim.
As of the commit above, GDB is no longer finding the function:
(gdb) break <MixedCaseFunc>

Subject: Introduce lookup_name_info and generalize Ada's FULL/WILD name matching
The original purpose of the new test is to exercise the "complete"
command with an expression for which a large number of matches are
returned and to verify that each match returned is a plausible match.
In this particular case, the commit above causes GDB to generate
additional matches which should in fact not appear in the list
(internally generated symbols, or symbols that should be enclosed
between "<...>"). These extraneous entries are easy to spot, because
they have uppercase characters, such as:
break ada__stringsS
break ada__strings__R11s
[etc]
For now, the new test is KFAIL'ed, to avoid generating a new FAIL
while we work on fixing that regression.

Tested on x86_64-linux, both before and after the patch.
When using gdb for debugging Ada source code, there are several catchpoint
types you can define in order to stop upon certain conditions. Let's
use this small example:
procedure Foo is
begin
begin
raise Constraint_Error;
exception
when Program_Error =>
null;
when Constraint_Error =>
null;
when others =>
null;
end;
end Foo;
One can stop when the exception is being raised by using the exception
catchpoint like below:
(gdb) catch exception
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions
(gdb)
In that case, when running Foo, gdb will stop at the line where the exception
was raised:
begin
>>> raise Constraint_Error;
exception
This patch introduces new type of catchpoint, when the user wants to stop
at the location of the exception handling.
Imagine we want to stop on any exception handled by the program, we can do:
(gdb) catch handlers
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions handlers
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo
By doing so, when running Foo, gdb will stop here:
Catchpoint 1, exception at 0x000000000040255a in foo () at foo.adb:25
25 when Constraint_Error =>
(gdb)
It is also possible to stop when the Constraint_Error exception is being
handled in this program. With this patch, we can use:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error
Catchpoint 1: `Constraint_Error' Ada exception handlers
(gdb)
Like for other catchpoint, you can set a condition when adding a catchpoint
on exception handlers.
Here the handlers catchpoint checks Global_Var:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error if Global_Var /= 0

Consider the following Ada code:
procedure Nested (L, U : Integer) is
subtype Small_Type is Integer range L .. U;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := L) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type :=
(1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
procedure Discard (R : Record_Type) is
begin
null;
end Discard;
begin
Discard (A1 (1)); -- STOP
end;
Trying to print a slice of that array currently yields:
(gdb) p a1(1..3)
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""))
We expected instead:
(gdb) p a1(1..3)
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 1, s => "A"), (i => 2, s => "AB"))
This is because the functions we use in ada-lang.c to create the type
of the array slice (ada_value_slice and ada_value_slice_from_ptr) was
not taking into account the stride of the array. This patch fixes this.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_slice_from_ptr): Take array stride into
account when creating the array type of the slice.
(ada_value_slice): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp: Add slice test.
Note that, with the current use of ada_value_slice, the enhancement
to handle dynamic array strides seems unnecessary, because I do not
see how an array with a dynamic stride can be referenced by either
by reference or pointer. Since references are coerced to array pointers,
in both cases, the slice is performed by ada_value_slice_from_ptr.
But ada_value_slice is enhanced nonetheless, in the spirit of making
the code more robust, in case we missed something, and also as similar
as possible with its from_ptr counterpart.
tested on x86_64-linux.
This patch adds support for DW_AT_byte_stride, using Ada as one
example of where this would be useful. However, the implementation
is language-agnostic.
Consider the following Ada code:
procedure Nested (L, U : Integer) is
subtype Small_Type is Integer range L .. U;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := L) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type :=
(1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
procedure Discard (R : Record_Type) is
begin
null;
end Discard;
begin
Discard (A1 (1)); -- STOP
end;
It defines an array A1 of Record_Type, which is a variant record
type whose maximum size actually depends on the value of the
parameters passed when calling Nested. As a result, the stride
of the array A1 cannot be known statically, which leads the compiler
to generate a dynamic DW_AT_byte_stride attribute for our type.
Here is what the debugging info looks like with GNAT:
.uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x14e) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF17 # DW_AT_name: "foo__nested__T18b"
.long 0x141 # DW_AT_byte_stride
.long 0xdc # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x11 # (DIE (0x15f) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x166 # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x3 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x14e
There DW_AT_byte_stride is a reference to a local (internal)
variable:
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0x141) DW_TAG_variable)
.long .LASF6 # DW_AT_name: "foo__nested__T18b___PAD___XVZ"
This patch enhances GDB to handle this dynamic byte stride attribute
by first adding a new dynamic_prop_node_kind (DYN_PROP_BYTE_STRIDE)
to store the array dynamic stride info (when dynamic). It then enhances
the dynamic type resolver to handle this dynamic property.
Before applying this patch, trying to print the value of some of
A1's elements after having stopped at the "STOP" comment does not
work. For instance:
(gdb) p a1(2)
Cannot access memory at address 0x80000268dec0
With this patch applied, GDB now prints the value of all 3 elements
correctly:
(gdb) print A1(1)
$1 = (i => 0, s => "")
(gdb) print A1(2)
$2 = (i => 1, s => "A")
(gdb) print A1(3)
$3 = (i => 2, s => "AB")

Consider the gdb.ada/taft_type.exp testcase, which exercises
the situation where a variable is defined using a type which
is a pointer to an incomplete type, with the actual type
definition being provided by another unit. Up to now, the
strategy used by GNAT when generating the DWARF debugging info
was to produce a incomplete DW_TAG_enumeration_type DIE with
a DW_AT_declaration flag attached to it:
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0x3e) DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "pck__empty"
# DW_AT_declaration
However, a more standard way for the compiler to describe
this kind of type is to use the DW_TAG_unspecified_type tag.
When the compiler is enhanced to do so, we'll need to treat
such types as stubs -- we only do so with types from Ada units,
however, as the meaning of this TAG is intentionally left
permissive and language-specific by the DWARF standard.
Without this patch, running the testcase above with an enhanced
compiler now yields:
(gdb) print w.e.all
Attempt to dereference a generic pointer.
FAIL: gdb.ada/taft_type.exp: print w.e.all
gdb/ChangeLog:

In the past, these files needed to be handled by hand, because
the testcase was sensitive to the length of the header, which was
potentially changing when new copyright years were added to
the copyright header. Now that we simply maintain and update
a range, the length of the copyright header should not change
as a consequence of the update performed by this script, so
special handling of those files is no longer necessary.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* copyright.py (BY_HAND): Remove gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.inp
and gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.c.
There is a small logical error in the part of the script that
dumps the list of files in BY_HAND + MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS
but only checkis the contents of BY_HAND. The issue becomes
apparent as soon as BY_HAND is empty. Prevent this from happening
by treating the two lists separately, as this allows us to provide
a more informative message in the case of MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS.

MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS (separately) from BY_HAND,

The code here wants to find address of an element, and often this

leads to undefined behavior, so it's better to simply use pointer
arithmetic instead of taking address of invalid dereference.

* psymtab.c (recursively_search_psymtabs): Use pointer arithmetic

made some parts of dwarf2read.c ignore warnings about switch using enums
of different kinds. What I did not realize was that older Clang
versions (prior to 6) did not have that warning, and therefore give this
error:

patch uses that feature to only define

* gdb.texinfo (Target Description Format): Explain that arbitrary
strings are now allowed for register groups.
Traditionally reggroups have been created via reggroup_new() during
initialization code and never freed. Now, if we want to initialize
reggroups dynamically (i.e. in target description) we should be able to
free them. Create this function reggroup_gdbarch_new() which will
allocate the reggroup memory onto the passed gdbarch obstack.
Also creating reggroup_find() as a utility to find a gdbarch registered
reggroup object by name.

(reggroup_find): New function.
Currently the reggroups gdbarch_data cannot be manipulated until after
the gdbarch is completely initialized. This is usually done when the
object init depends on architecture specific fields. In the case of
reggroups it only depends on the obstack being available.
Coverting this to pre_init allows using reggroups during gdbarch
initialization. This is needed to allow registering arbitrary reggroups
during gdbarch initializations.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* target-descriptions.c (print_c_tdesc)
<printf_field_type_assignment>: Add ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF.
While fiddling a bit with -Wunused-variable, Sergio noticed that "maint
print c-tdesc" was always generating code for the "tdesc_type
*field_type" variable, even when it wasn't used. This is caught by GCC
when using -Wunused-variable, of course.
This patch changes the print_c_tdesc class to only output the field
declaration when we actually need it.
It shouldn't be necessary to do the same with the other variable
declarations (type_with_fields and element_type), because they are
always if they are declared.
The C files in features/ are regenerated, some declarations of
field_type are removed, as expected, while some others move to where
they are used for the first time.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-tdep.c (ppc_deal_with_atomic_sequence): Remove
write-only assignment to "insn" variable.
On Cell/B.E. multi-architecture debugging we use a "merged" address space
that encodes both the main PowerPC address space and the local store address
spaces of all active SPUs. This will always occupy 64 bits.
However, gdbarch_addr_bit is set to 32 on SPU, and may be set to 32 as well
on PowerPC. Since the new gdbarch_significant_addr_bit defaults to the
value of gdbarch_addr_bit, this means addresses may be improperly truncated.
Work around this problem by explicitly setting gdbarch_significant_addr_bit
to 64 both for the SPU target and also for PowerPC target that support
Cell/B.E. execution.

Consider the following Ada code defining a global variable whose
type is an array of static bounds (1 .. 2), but where its elements
are a variant record whose size is not statically known:
type Ints is array (Natural range <>) of Integer;
type Bounded_Ints (Max_Size : Natural) is record
Length : Natural := 0;
Objs : Ints (1 .. Max_Size);
end record;
type Ints_Doubled is array (1 .. 2) of Bounded_Ints (Idem (0));
Global : Ints_Doubled;
When compiling this program at -O2 using a GCC-6.4-based compiler
on x86_64-linux, trying to print the value of that global variable
yields:
(gdb) p global
$1 =
Let's look at the debugging info, which starts with the global
variable itself...

.uleb128 0x7 # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_member)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "max_size"
[snip]
The error occurs while Ada evaluator is trying to "fix"
the element type inside the array, so as to determine its actual
size. For that, it searches for a parallel "XVZ" variable,
which, when found, contains the object's actual size.
Unfortunately in our case, the variable exists but has been
optimized out, as seen by the presence of a variable DIE in
the debugging info, but with no address attribute:
.uleb128 0x18 # (DIE (0x24e) DW_TAG_variable)
.long .LASF31 # DW_AT_name: "fd__Tints_doubledC___XVZ"
.long 0x257 # DW_AT_type
# DW_AT_artificial
Discussing this with some members of AdaCore's compiler team,
it is expected that the optimizer can get rid of this variable,
and we don't want to pessimize the code just to improve debuggability,
since -O2 is about performance. So, the idea of this patch is
not to make it work, but provide a bit more information to help
users understand what kind of error is preventing GDB from being
able to print the variable's value.
The first hurdle we had to clear was the fact that ada_val_print
traps all exceptions (including QUIT ones!), and does so completly
silently. So, the fix was to add a trace of the exception being
generated. While doing so, we fix an old XXX/FIXME by only catching
errors, letting QUIT exceptions go through.
Once this is done, we now get an error message, which gives a first
clue as to what was happening:
(gdb) p fd.global
$1 = <error reading variable: value has been optimized out>
However, it would be more useful to know which value it was
that was optimized out. For that purpose, we enhanced
ada-lang.c::ada_to_fixed_type_1 so as to re-throw the error
with a message which indicates which variable we failed to read.
With those changes, the new output is now:
(gdb) p fd.global
$1 = <error reading variable: unable to read value of fd__Tints_doubledC___XVZ (value has been optimized out)>
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_type_1): Rethrow errors with
a more detailed exception message when getting an exception
while trying to read the value of an XVZ variable.

Tested on x86_64-linux
Consider the following code, which declares a variabled called "input"
of type "parameter", which is a record with one component called "u2",
where the type of that component is a simple 3-element array of
floating point values:
type Float_Array_3 is array (1 .. 3) of Float;
type parameters is record
u2 : Float_Array_3;
end record;
input : parameters;
Trying to assign a value to input.u2 causes GDB to crash:
(gdb) p input.u2 := (0.25,0.5,0.75)
[1] 20228 segmentation fault (core dumped) [...]/gdb
The crash occurs because input.u2 is described in the debugging
info as a typedef of an array. Indeed, input's type is:
<1><ae9>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<aea> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1045): target_wrapper__parameters
[...]
<2><af5>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_member)
<af6> DW_AT_name : u2
[...]
<afb> DW_AT_type : <0xaca>
and, looking at DIE 0xaca to get input.u2's type, we see:
<1><aca>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_typedef)
<acb> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1060): target_wrapper__float_array_3
[...]
<ad1> DW_AT_type : <0xad5>
We can also confirm, following the DW_AT_type attribute (0xad5), that
it's a typedef of our array:
<1><ad5>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<ad6> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1060): target_wrapper__float_array_3
[...]
In fact, this scenario uncovered 2 areas where typedef handling
is missing, thus causing a crash. The first happens inside
assign_aggregate:
if (ada_is_direct_array_type (lhs_type))
{
lhs = ada_coerce_to_simple_array (lhs);
lhs_type = value_type (lhs);
low_index = TYPE_ARRAY_LOWER_BOUND_VALUE (lhs_type);
high_index = TYPE_ARRAY_UPPER_BOUND_VALUE (lhs_type);
}
Here, lhs_type is a TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF. ada_is_direct_array_type
knows how to handle it, but TYPE_ARRAY_LOWER_BOUND_VALUE assumes
that the given type is a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY. As such, it ends up
accessing some fields in lhs_type which it shouldn't, and kaboom.
We fixed this issue by making sure that the TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF
layer gets stripped.
Once this is done, we hit a different kind of error, also leading to
a SEGV, this time in assign_component. The code looks like this:
if (TYPE_CODE (value_type (lhs)) == TYPE_CODE_ARRAY)
[...]
else
[...]
Because once again lhs is a TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF, the check fail,
and we end up assuming that lhs is a struct, executing the "else"
block, which is:
else
{
elt = ada_index_struct_field (index, lhs, 0, value_type (lhs));
elt = ada_to_fixed_value (elt);
}
Since lhs is not a struct, ada_index_struct_field returns NULL,
which ada_to_fixed_value does not handle well, hence another crash.
This patch fixes this other issue the same way, by stripping
TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF layers.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (assign_component): Strip any TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF
layer from lhs' type.
(assign_aggregate): Likewise.

Using this small example:
procedure Foo is
type Integer_Access is access all Integer;
procedure P (A : Integer_Access) is
begin
null;
end P;
begin
P (null);
end Foo;
and doing this debug session:
(gdb) b p
Breakpoint 1 at 0x402d67: file foo.adb, line 7.
(gdb) print p(null)
Breakpoint 1, foo.p (a=0x641010) at foo.adb:10
... ^^^^^^^^^^
shows that something goes wrong between the initial null value and the
received parameter value in the 'f' function.
The value for the parameter 'a' we get is the address of the value we
would expect instead of the value itself. This can be checked by doing:
(gdb) p *a
$1 = 0
Before this fix, in ada_convert_value, this function was looking to the
actual value (the null value here) to determine if the formal (parameter
'a' in the procedure 'P' in this exemple) requires a pointer or not which
is a wrong assumption and leads to push the address of the value to the
inferior instead of the value itself.
This is fixed by this patch.

are passed to the inferior when the inferior expects a pointer type.

This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.
The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality. Here's an example:
/* offset | size */ type = struct wer : public tuv {
public:
/* 32 | 24 */ struct tyu {
/* 32:31 | 4 */ int a1 : 1;
/* 32:28 | 4 */ int a2 : 3;
/* 32: 5 | 4 */ int a3 : 23;
/* 35: 3 | 1 */ char a4 : 2;
/* XXX 3-bit hole */
/* XXX 4-byte hole */
/* 40 | 8 */ int64_t a5;
/* 48:27 | 4 */ int a6 : 5;
/* 48:56 | 8 */ int64_t a7 : 3;
/* total size (bytes): 24 */
} a1;
/* total size (bytes): 56 */
}
A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy. The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft. My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).
After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes. Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt. This should be implemented in a future
patch.
This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB. In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>
This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot. There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation. I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.

Consider the following code:
type Top_T is tagged record
N : Integer := 1;
U : Integer := 974;
A : Integer := 48;
end record;
type Middle_T is new Top.Top_T with record
N : Character := 'a';
C : Integer := 3;
end record;
type Bottom_T is new Middle.Middle_T with record
N : Float := 4.0;
C : Character := '5';
X : Integer := 6;
A : Character := 'J';
end record;
Tagged records in Ada provide object-oriented features, and what
is interesting in the code above is that a child tagged record
introduce additional components (fields) which sometimes have
the same name as one of the components in the parent. For instance,
Bottom_T introduces a component named "C", while at the same time
inheriting from Middle_T which also has a component named "C";
so, in essence, type Bottom_T has two components with the same name!
And before people start wondering why the language can possibly
be allowing that, this can only happen if the parent type has
a private definition. In our case, this was brought to our attention
when the parent was a generic paramenter.
With that in mind... Let's say we now have a variable declared
and initialized as follow:
TC : Top_A := new Bottom_T;
And then we use this variable to call this function
procedure Assign (Obj: in out Top_T; TV : Integer);
as follow:
Assign (Top_T (B), 12);
Now, we're in the debugger, and we're inside that procedure
(Top.Assign in our gdb testcase), and we want to print
the value of obj.c:
Usually, the tagged record or one of the parent type owns the
component to print and there's no issue but in this particular
case, what does it mean to ask for Obj.C ? Since the actual
type for object is type Bottom_T, it could mean two things: type
component C from the Middle_T view, but also component C from
Bottom_T. So in that "undefined" case, when the component is
not found in the non-resolved type (which includes all the
components of the parent type), then resolve it and see if we
get better luck once expanded.
In the case of homonyms in the derived tagged type, we don't
guaranty anything, and pick the one that's easiest for us
to program.
This patch fixes the behavior like described above.

PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords to test the argument for truth and convert
it to a boolean value (the p stands for predicate). However, it is not
available in Python 2, causing this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
b1 = gdb.Breakpoint("foo", qualified=False)
TypeError: argument 10 (impossible<bad format char>)
This patch changes it to the 'O' specifier, which returns the Python
object passed in without transformation, and uses PyObject_IsTrue on it.
This is what is done for the other boolean parameters of this function
(internal and temporary).
This fixes the test gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp for Python 2.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Use 'O' format specifier
for "qualified" and use PyObject_IsTrue.
The .debug_names completely misses its support as it did not even produce
DW_IDX_type_unit.

* dwarf2read.c (dw2_debug_names_iterator::next): Support
DW_IDX_type_unit.
(debug_names::dwarf5_offset_size, unit_kind): New.
(debug_names::insert): Add parameter kind.
(debug_names::build): Support DW_IDX_type_unit.
(debug_names::recursively_write_psymbols): Update
(debug_names::write_psymbols caller.
(debug_names::write_one_signatured_type_data)
(debug_names::write_one_signatured_type): New.
(debug_names::index_key, debug_names::symbol_value)
(debug_names::write_psymbols): Add kind.
(debug_names::write_one_signatured_type): New.
(write_debug_names): Move dwarf5_offset_size to debug_names.
Use debug_names::write_one_signatured_type for type units.
Consider the following Ada Code:
type Str is new String (1 .. 4);
My_str : Str := "ABCD";
This simply declares a 4-character string type. Trying to perform
equality tests using it currently yield an error:
(gdb) p my_str = my_str
Attempt to compare array with non-array
(gdb) p my_str = "ABCD"
Attempt to compare array with non-array
The error occurs because my_str is defined as an object whose
type is a typdef to a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY, which ada_value_equal
is not expecting at all (yet). This patch fixes this oversight.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_equal): Add handling of typedef types
when comparing array objects.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/str_binop_equal: New testcase.
