I've found that I often use dwarf-mode with relatively small test
files. In this situation, it's handy to be able to expand all the
DWARF, rather than moving to each "..." separately and using C-u C-m.
This patch implements this feature. It also makes a couple of other
minor changes:
* I removed a stale FIXME from dwarf-mode. In practice I find I often
use "g" to restore the buffer to a pristine state; checking the file
mtime would work against this.
* I tightened the regexp in dwarf-insert-substructure. This prevents
the C-m binding from trying to re-read a DIE which has already been
expanded.
* Finally, I've bumped the dwarf-mode version number so that this
version can easily be installed using package.el.
2023-02-09 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* dwarf-mode.el: Bump version to 1.8.
(dwarf-insert-substructure): Tighten regexp.
(dwarf-refresh-all): New defun.
(dwarf-mode-map): Bind "A" to dwarf-refresh-all.
(dwarf-mode): Remove old FIXME.
The newer update-copyright.py fixes file encoding too, removing cr/lf
on binutils/bfdtest2.c and ld/testsuite/ld-cygwin/exe-export.exp, and
embedded cr in binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/ar.exp string match.
The Emacs 28 compiler warns about dwarf-mode.el:
Warning (comp): dwarf-mode.el:180:32: Warning: Unused lexical argument `ignore'
This is easily fixed by prepending "_" to the parameter's name.

* dwarf-mode.el (dwarf-do-refresh): Avoid compiler warning.
I noticed that, occasionally, dwarf-mode would think that the objdump
subprocess was still running after it had clearly exited. I managed
to reliably reproduce this today and learned that a process sentinel
is not guaranteed to be run with the current buffer set to the process
buffer. This patch fixes the problem.
I've bumped the version number of dwarf-mode.el to make it easier to
install for users who already have an earlier one installed.
I'm checking this in.
2022-03-15 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* dwarf-mode.el: Now 1.7.
(dwarf--sentinel): Switch to the process buffer.
The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all
the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking
out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit
breaks building of bfp opcodes files.
This fixes a couple of small problems in dwarf-mode.el.
First, I noticed that for an attribute like:
<2><136c>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_member)
<136d> DW_AT_name : t
... the "t" would not be font-locked using the function name face.
The problem here is that the regexp assumed the indirect string
format, like:
<12ac> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1b40): whatever
Here the fix is to adjust the regexp to match both formats.
Second, when following a DIE reference, point could end up on an
attribute instead. This happens when there is a zero-length attribute
with the same "offset" as the following DIE, like:
<12c5> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
<2><12c5>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
Here the fix is to search for the DIE by looking for the depth ("<2>"
in the example) as well.
I've bumped the internal version number to make it simpler to install
this using the Emacs package facility.

2020-08-12 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* dwarf-mode.el (Version): Now 1.6.
(dwarf-die-button-action): Tighten DIE reference regexp.
(dwarf-font-lock-keywords): Update name regexp.
This adds a syntax table for dwarf-mode to dwarf-mode.el. I noticed
the need for this when trying to use mark-sexp (C-M-SPC) on a hex
number -- it copied the trailing ">" as well, which isn't desirable.
I've also bumped the version number to make this simpler to install
via the Emacs package system.
Tested locally. I'm checking this in.
binutils/ChangeLog
2018-06-25 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf-mode.el (dwarf-mode-syntax-table): New variable.
Bump version number.
Bump the dwarf-mode version number, so it can be installed by package.el
users who installed an earlier verision.
2017-10-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf-mode.el: Bump to version 1.4.
I was recently examining a very large .debug file. I tried to use
dwarf-mode, but it blocked Emacs for a very long time while reading
output.
This patch changes dwarf-mode to run the objdump process asynchronously.
This way, I can still do other things in Emacs while waiting for the
dumping to finish.
2017-10-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf-mode.el (dwarf--process, dwarf--deletion-region): New
defvar.
(dwarf--check-running, dwarf--sentinel, dwarf--invoke)
(dwarf--filter): New functions.
(dwarf-do-insert-substructure, dwarf-do-refresh): Call
dwarf--check-running, dwarf--invoke.
(dwarf-browse): Initialize new variables.
Emacs has had lexical binding for a while, and it's a good practice to
use it; so enable it in dwarf-mode.el.
2017-10-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf-mode.el: Set lexical-binding.
It's bad Emacs style to define keys from a top-level form. Instead, one
should define a mode map separately and binding keys in the definition.
This lets users completely override the map by defining it before
loading the mode.
2017-10-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf-mode.el (dwarf-mode-map): New defvar.
I've been using dwarf-mode.el again recently and I found it mildly
annoying that the mode doesn't set default-directory. Setting it
means that operations in the dwarf-browsing buffer default to the
directory holding the object file being investigated.
This bumps the version number as well so that updating it via the
package manager works properly.
2016-11-04 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf-mode.el (dwarf-browse): Set default-directory. Bump
version number.
