I was looking at PR gdb/19675 and the related test
gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp. This test includes a call to kfail
when we are testing a displaced step over a clone syscall.
While looking at the test I removed the call to kfail and ran the
test, and was surprised that the test passed.
I ran the test a few times and it does sometimes fail, but mostly it
passed fine.
PR gdb/19675 describes how, when we displaced step over a clone, the
new thread is created with a $pc in the displaced step buffer. GDB
then fails to "fix" this $pc (for the new thread), and the thread will
be set running with its current $pc value. This means that the new
thread will just start executing from whatever happens to be after the
displaced stepping buffer.
In the original PR gdb/19675 bug report Yao Qi was seeing the new
thread cause a segfault, the problem is, what actually happens is
totally undefined.
On my machine, I'm seeing the new thread reenter main, it then starts
trying to run the test again (in the new thread). This just happens
to be safe enough (in this simple test) that most of the time the
inferior doesn't crash.
In this commit I try to make the test slightly more likely to fail by
doing a couple of things.
First, I added a static variable to main, this is set true when the
first thread enters main, if a second thread ever enters main then I
force an abort.
Second, when the test is finishing I want to ensure that the new
threads have had a chance to do "something bad" if they are going to.
So I added a global counter, as each thread starts successfully it
decrements the counter. The main thread does not proceed to the final
marker function (where GDB has placed a breakpoint) until all threads
have started successfully. This means that if the newly created
thread doesn't successfully enter clone_fn then the counter will never
reach zero and the test will timeout.
With these two changes my hope is that the test should fail more
reliably, and so, I have also changed the test to call setup_kfail
before the specific steps that we expect to misbehave instead of just
calling kfail and skipping parts of the test completely. The benefit
of this is that if/when we fix GDB this test will start to KPASS and
we'll know to update this test to remove the setup_kfail call.
While working on a stack unwinding issue using 'set debug frame on', I
noticed the frame_info::to_string method could be slightly improved.
Unwinders have been given a name in
a154d838a70e96d888620c072e2d6ea8bdf044ca. Before this patch, frame_info
debug output prints the host address of the used unwinder, which is not
easy to interpret. This patch proposes to use the unwinder name
instead since we now have it.
Before the patch:
{level=1,type=NORMAL_FRAME,unwind=0x2ac1763ec0,pc=0x3ff7fc3460,id={stack=0x3ff7ea79b0,code=0x0000003ff7fc33ac,!special},func=0x3ff7fc33ac}
With the patch:
{level=1,type=NORMAL_FRAME,unwinder="riscv prologue",pc=0x3ff7fc3460,id={stack=0x3ff7ea79b0,code=0x0000003ff7fc33ac,!special},func=0x3ff7fc33ac}
Tested on riscv64-linux-gnu.
The test gdb.base/info-macros.exp says that it doesn't pass the "debug"
option to prepare_for_testing because that would cause -g to appear
after -g3 on the command line, and that would cause some gcc versions to
not include macro info. I don't know what gcc versions this refers to.
I tested with gcc 4.8, and that works fine with -g after -g3.
The current state is problematic when testing with CC_FOR_TARGET=clang,
because then only -fdebug-macro is included. No -g switch if included,
meaning we get a binary without any debug info, and the test fails.
One way to fix it would be to add "debug" to the options when the
compiler is clang.
However, the solution I chose was to specify "debug" in any case, even
for gcc. Other macro tests such as gdb.base/macscp.exp do perfectly
fine with it. Also, this lets the test use the debug flag specified by
the board file. For example, we can test with GCC and DWARF 5, with:
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board unix/gdb:debug_flags=-gdwarf-5" TESTS="gdb.base/info-macros.exp"
With the hard-coded -g3, this wouldn't actually test with DWARF 5.

Since 4d7188abfdf2 ("gdbsupport: add debug assertions in
gdb::optional::get"), some macro-related tests fail on Ubuntu 20.04 with
the system gcc 9.3.0 compiler when building with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG. For
example, gdb.base/info-macros.exp results in:
(gdb) break -qualified main
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/gdb_optional.h:206: internal-error: T& gdb::optional<T>::get() [with T = long unsigned int]: Assertion `this->has_value ()' failed.
The binary contains DWARF 4 debug info and includes a pre-standard
(pre-DWARF 5) .debug_macro section. The CU doesn't have a
DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute (which doesn't exist in DWARF 4). The
field dwarf2_cu::str_offsets_base is therefore empty. At
dwarf2/read.c:24138, we unconditionally read the value in the optional,
which triggers the assertion shown above.
The same thing happens when building the test program with DWARF 5 with
the same gcc compiler, as that version of gcc doesn't use indirect
string forms, even with DWARF 5. So it still doesn't add a
DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute on the CU.
Fix that by propagating down a gdb::optional<ULONGEST> for the str
offsets base instead of ULONGEST. That value is only used in
dwarf_decode_macro_bytes, when encountering an "strx" macro operation
(DW_MACRO_define_strx or DW_MACRO_undef_strx). Add a check there that
we indeed have a value in the optional before reading it. This is
unlikely to happen, but could happen in theory with an erroneous file
that uses DW_MACRO_define_strx but does not provide a
DW_AT_str_offsets_base (in practice, some things would probably have
failed before and stopped processing of debug info). I tested the
complaint by inverting the condition and using a clang-compiled binary,
which uses the strx operators. This is the result:
During symbol reading: use of DW_MACRO_define_strx with unknown string offsets base [in module /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/info-macros/info-macros]
The test now passes cleanly with the setup mentioned above, and the
testsuite looks on par with how it was before 4d7188abfdf2.

I saw this complaint when my code had some bug, and spotted the typo.
Fix it, and while at it mention DW_MACRO as well (it would be confusing
to only see DW_MACINFO with a file that uses a DWARF 5 .debug_macro
section). I contemplated the idea of passing the knowledge of whether
we are dealing with a .debug_macro section or .debug_macinfo section, to
print only the right one. But in the end, I don't think that trouble is
necessary for a complaint nobody is going to see.

In the context of ROCm-gdb [1], the ROCm target sits on top of the
linux-nat target. when a process forks, it needs to carry over some
data from the forking inferior to the fork child inferior. Ideally, the
ROCm target would implement the follow_fork target_ops method, but there
are some small problems. This patch fixes these, which helps the ROCm
target, but also makes things more consistent and a bit nicer in
general, I believe.
The main problem is: when follow-fork-mode is "parent",
target_follow_fork is called with the parent as the current inferior.
When it's "child", target_follow_fork is called with the child as the
current inferior. This means that target_follow_fork is sometimes
called on the parent's target stack and sometimes on the child's target
stack.
The parent's target stack may contain targets above the process target,
such as the ROCm target. So if follow-fork-child is "parent", the ROCm
target would get notified of the fork and do whatever is needed. But
the child's target stack, at that moment, only contains the exec and
process target copied over from the parent. The child's target stack is
set up by follow_fork_inferior, before calling target_follow_fork. In
that case, the ROCm target wouldn't get notified of the fork.
For consistency, I think it would be good to always call
target_follow_fork on the parent inferior's target stack. I think it
makes sense as a way to indicate "this inferior has called fork, do
whatever is needed". The desired outcome of the fork (whether an
inferior is created for the child, do we need to detach from the child)
can be indicated by passed parameter.
I therefore propose these changes:
- make follow_fork_inferior always call target_follow_fork with the
parent as the current inferior. That lets all targets present on the
parent's target stack do some fork-related handling and push
themselves on the fork child's target stack if needed.
For this purpose, pass the child inferior down to target_follow_fork
and follow_fork implementations. This is nullptr if no inferior is
created for the child, because we want to detach from it.
- as a result, in follow_fork_inferior, detach from the parent inferior
(if needed) only after the target_follow_fork call. This is needed
because we want to call target_follow_fork before the parent's
target stack is torn down.
- hand over to the targets in the parent's target stack (including the
process target) the responsibility to push themselves, if needed, to
the child's target stack. Also hand over the responsibility to the
process target, at the same time, to create the child's initial
thread (just like we do for follow_exec).
- pass the child inferior to exec_on_vfork, so we don't need to swap
the current inferior between parent and child. Nothing in
exec_on_vfork depends on the current inferior, after this change.
Although this could perhaps be replaced with just having the exec
target implement follow_fork and push itself in the child's target
stack, like the process target does... We would just need to make
sure the process target calls beneath()->follow_fork(...). I'm not
sure about this one.

The compiler may add a suffix to a mangled name. A typical example
would be splitting a function and creating a ".cold" variant.
This patch changes Ada decoding (aka demangling) to handle these
suffixes. It also changes the encoding process to handle them as
well.
A symbol like "function.cold" will now be displayed to the user as
"function[cold]". The "." is not simply preserved because that is
already used in Ada.
I believe that many calls to fprintf_symbol_filtered are incorrect.
In particular, there are some that pass a symbol's print name, like:
fprintf_symbol_filtered (gdb_stdout, sym->print_name (),
current_language->la_language, DMGL_ANSI);
fprintf_symbol_filtered uses the "demangle" global to decide whether
or not to demangle -- but print_name does this as well. This can lead
to double-demangling. Normally this could be innocuous, except I also
plan to change Ada demangling in a way that causes this to fail.
Pierre-Marie noticed that the Ada expression "TYPE'(NAME)" resolved
incorrectly when "TYPE" was an enumeration type. Here, "NAME" should
be unambiguous.
This patch fixes this problem. Note that the patch is not perfect --
it does not give an error if TYPE is an enumeration type but NAME is
not an enumerator but does have some other meaning in scope. Fixing
this proved difficult, and so I've left it out.
In Ada, an enumeration type can use a character literal as one of the
enumerators. The Ada expression parser handles the appropriate
conversion.
It turns out, though, that this conversion was handled incorrectly.
For an expression like TYPE'(EXP), the conversion would be done for
any such literal appearing in EXP -- but only the outermost such
expression should really be affected.
This patch defers the conversion until the resolution phase, fixing
the bug.
In a subsequent patch, it will be convenient if an Ada expression
operation can supply its own replacement object. This patch refactors
Ada expression resolution to make this possible.
I noticed that add_symbols_from_enclosing_procs is empty, and can be
removed. The one caller, ada_add_local_symbols, can also be
simplified, removing some code that, I think, was an incorrect attempt
to handle nested functions.
PR varobj/28131 points out a crash in the varobj deletion code. It
took a while to reproduce this, but essentially what happens is that a
top-level varobj deletes its root object, then deletes the "dynamic"
object. However, deletion of the dynamic object may cause
~py_varobj_iter to run, which in turn uses gdbpy_enter_varobj:
gdbpy_enter_varobj::gdbpy_enter_varobj (const struct varobj *var)
: gdbpy_enter (var->root->exp->gdbarch, var->root->exp->language_defn)
{
}
However, because var->root has already been destroyed, this is
invalid.
I've added a new test case. This doesn't reliably crash, but the
problem can easily be seen under valgrind (and, I presume, with ASAN,
though I did not try this).
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 32. I also propose putting this on the GDB 11
branch, with a suitable ChangeLog entry of course.

* contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh: Copy .dwo files alongside executable.
When printing the fields of a register that is of a custom struct type,
the "unpack_bits_as_long ()" function is used:
do_val_print (...)
cp_print_value_fields (...)
value_field_bitfield (...)
unpack_value_bitfield (...)
unpack_bits_as_long (...)
This function may sign-extend the extracted field while returning it:
val >>= lsbcount;
if (...)
{
valmask = (((ULONGEST) 1) << bitsize) - 1;
val &= valmask;
if (!field_type->is_unsigned ())
if (val & (valmask ^ (valmask >> 1)))
val |= ~valmask;
}
return val;
lsbcount: Number of lower bits to get rid of.
bitsize: The bit length of the field to be extracted.
val: The register value.
field_type: The type of field that is being handled.
While the logic here is correct, there is a problem when it is
handling "field_type"s of "boolean". Those types are NOT marked
as "unsigned" and therefore they end up being sign extended.
Although this is not a problem for "false" (0), it definitely
causes trouble for "true".
This patch constructs the builtin boolean type as such that it is
marked as an "unsigned" entity.
The issue tackled here was first encountered for arc-elf32 target
running on an x86_64 machine. The unit-test introduced in this change
has passed for all the targets (--enable-targets=all) running on the
same x86_64 host.

I noticed that exception_print_same is only used in a single spot, and

Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
The assertion
gdb_assert (nr_bits >= 1 && nr_bits <= type_bitsize);
is not correct. Well, it's correct in that we do want the number of
bits to be in the range [1, type_bitsize]. But we don't check anywhere
that the end of the specified flag is within the containing type.
The following code should generate a failed assertion, as the flag goes
past the 32 bits of the underlying type, but it's currently not caught:
static void
test_print_flag (gdbarch *arch)
{
type *flags_type = arch_flags_type (arch, "test_type", 32);
type *field_type = builtin_type (arch)->builtin_uint32;
append_flags_type_field (flags_type, 31, 2, field_type, "invalid");
}
(You can test this by registering it as a selftest using
selftests::register_test_foreach_arc and running.)
Change the assertion to verify that the end bit is within the range of
the underlying type. This implicitly verifies that nr_bits is not
too big as well, so we don't need a separate assertion for that.

- Don't use #ifdef's on ptrace ops. obsd-nat.h didn't include
<sys/ptrace.h>, so the virtual methods weren't always overridden
causing the fork following to not work. In addition, the thread and
fork code is intertwined in ::wait and and the lack of #ifdef's
there already assumed both were present. Finally, both of these
ptrace ops have been present in OpenBSD for at least 10 years.
- Move duplicated code to enable PTRACE_FORK event reporting to a
single function and invoke it on new child processes reported via
PTRACE_FORK.
- Don't return early from PTRACE_FORK handling, but instead reset
wptid to the correct ptid if the child reports its event before the
parent. This allows the ptid fixup code to add thread IDs if the
first event for a process is a PTRACE_FORK event. This also
properly returns ptid's with thread IDs when reporting PTRACE_FORK
events.
- Handle detach_fork by skipping the PT_DETACH.
- Call inf_ptrace_target::wait instead of duplicating the code.
Replace a check for WIFSTOPPED on the returned status from waitpid
by checking for TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED in the parsed status as is
done in fbsd_nat_target::wait.
- Don't use inferior_ptid when deciding if a new process is a child vs
parent of the fork. Instead, use find_inferior_pid and assume that
if an inferior already exists, the pid in question is the parent;
otherwise, the pid is the child.
- Don't use inferior_ptid when deciding if the ptid of the process
needs to be updated with an LWP ID, or if this is a new thread.
Instead, use the approach from fbsd-nat which is to check if a ptid
without an LWP exists and if so update the ptid of that thread
instead of adding a new thread.
Simon Marchi tried gdb on OpenBSD, and it immediately segfaults when
running a program. Simon tracked down the problem to x86_dr_low.get_status
being nullptr at this point:

On BSDs, get_status is set in _initialize_x86_bsd_nat, but only if
HAVE_PT_GETDBREGS is defined. PT_GETDBREGS doesn't exist on OpenBSD, so
get_status (and the other fields of x86_dr_low) are left as nullptr.
OpenBSD doesn't support getting or setting the x86 debug registers, so
fix by omitting debug register support entirely on OpenBSD:
- Change x86bsd_nat_target to only inherit from x86_nat_target if
PT_GETDBREGS is supported.
- Don't include x86-nat.o and nat/x86-dregs.o for OpenBSD/amd64. They
were already omitted for OpenBSD/i386.
The width of the window is too narrow to display the entire assembly line.
The width of the columns in the window changes as the test walks thru the
terminal window output. The column change results in the first and second
reads of the same line to differ thus causing the test to fail. Increasing
the width of the window keeps the column width consistent thru the test.
If the test fails, the added check prints an message to the log file if
the failure may be due to the window being too narrow.

Clean up some things I noticed:
- we generate a regformats/microblaze-with-stack-protect.dat file. I
don't think this is used. It could be used by a GDBserver built for
Microblaze, but GDBserver isn't ported to Microblaze. So I don't
think that's used at all. Remove the entry in features/Makefile and
the file itself.
- There are a bunch of *-expedite values in features/Makefile for
architectures for which we don't generate dat files. AFAIK, these
*-expedite values are only used when generating dat files. Remove
those that are not necessary.
- 32bit-segments.xml is not listed in the Makfile, but it's used. This
means that it wouldn't get re-generated if we were to change how C
files are generated from the XML. It looks like it was simply
forgotten, add it.

Fixes PR gdb/28121. When a user declares an array like this:
int * const foo_1[3];
And in GDB the user does this:
(gdb) info variables foo
All variables matching regular expression "foo":
File test.c:
1: int * constfoo_1[3];
Notice the missing space between 'const' and 'foo_1'. This is fixed
in c_type_print_varspec_prefix (c-typeprint.c) by passing through the
flag that indicates if a trailing space is needed, rather than hard
coding the flag to false as we currently do.

[ I've confused things by forgetting to add -gdwarf-4 in $subject of
commit 0057a7ee0d9 "[gdb/testsuite] Add KFAILs for gdb.ada FAILs with
gcc-11". So I'm adding here -gdwarf-5 in $subject, even though -gdwarf-5 is
the default for gcc-11. I keep getting confused because of working with a
system gcc-11 compiler that was patched to switch the default back to
-gdwarf-4. ]
When running test-case gdb.ada/arrayptr.exp with gcc-11 (and default
-gdwarf-5), I run into:
...
(gdb) print pa_ptr.all^M
Unhandled dwarf expression opcode 0xff^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.ada/arrayptr.exp: scenario=all: print pa_ptr.all
...
What happens is that pa_ptr:
...

<1524> DW_AT_name : pa_ptr
<1529> DW_AT_type : <0x14fa>
...
has type:
...

<14fb> DW_AT_name : foo__packed_array_ptr
<1500> DW_AT_type : <0x1504>
<2><1504>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_pointer_type)
<1505> DW_AT_byte_size : 8
<1505> DW_AT_type : <0x1509>
...
which is a pointer to a subrange:
...
<2><1509>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<150a> DW_AT_lower_bound : 0
<150b> DW_AT_upper_bound : 0x3fffffffffffffffff

<15ce> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<15cf> DW_AT_name : long_long_long_unsigned
<15d3> DW_AT_artificial : 1
...
with upper bound of form DW_FORM_data16.
In gdb/dwarf/attribute.h we have:
...
/* Return non-zero if ATTR's value falls in the 'constant' class, or
zero otherwise. When this function returns true, you can apply
the constant_value method to it.
...
DW_FORM_data16 is not considered as constant_value cannot handle
that. */
bool form_is_constant () const;
...
so instead we have attribute::form_is_block (DW_FORM_data16) == true.
Then in attr_to_dynamic_prop for the upper bound, we get a PROC_LOCEXPR
instead of a PROP_CONST and end up trying to evaluate the constant
0x3fffffffffffffffff as if it were a locexpr, which causes the
"Unhandled dwarf expression opcode 0xff".
In contrast, with -gdwarf-4 we have:
...
<164c> DW_AT_upper_bound : 18 byte block: \
9e 10 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 3f 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
(DW_OP_implicit_value 16 byte block: \
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 3f 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 )
...
Fix the dwarf error by translating the DW_FORM_data16 constant into a
PROC_LOCEXPR, effectively by prepending 0x9e 0x10, such that we have same
result as with -gdwarf-4:
...
(gdb) print pa_ptr.all^M
That operation is not available on integers of more than 8 bytes.^M
(gdb) KFAIL: gdb.ada/arrayptr.exp: scenario=all: print pa_ptr.all \

This commit was originally part of this patch series:
(v1): https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-May/179357.html
(v2): https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-June/180208.html
(v3): https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-July/181028.html
However, that series is being held up in review, so I wanted to break
out some of the non-related fixes in order to get these merged.
This commit addresses two semi-related issues, both of which are
problems exposed by using 'set debug frame on'.
The first issue is in frame.c in get_prev_frame_always_1, and was
introduced by this commit:
commit a05a883fbaba69d0f80806e46a9457727fcbe74c
Date: Tue Jun 29 12:03:50 2021 -0400
gdb: introduce frame_debug_printf
This commit replaced fprint_frame with frame_info::to_string.
However, the former could handle taking a nullptr while the later, a
member function, obviously requires a non-nullptr in order to make the
function call. In one place we are not-guaranteed to have a
non-nullptr, and so, there is the possibility of triggering undefined
behaviour.
The second issue addressed in this commit has existed for a while in
GDB, and would cause this assertion:
gdb/frame.c:622: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `fi->this_id.p != frame_id_status::COMPUTING' failed.
We attempt to get the frame_id for a frame while we are computing the
frame_id for that same frame.
What happens is that when GDB stops we create a frame_info object for
the sentinel frame (frame #-1) and then we attempt to unwind this
frame to create a frame_info object for frame #0.
In the test case used here to expose the issue we have created a
Python frame unwinder. In the Python unwinder we attemt to read the
program counter register.
Reading this register will initially create a lazy register value.
The frame-id stored in the lazy register value will be for the
sentinel frame (lazy register values hold the frame-id for the frame
from which the register will be unwound).
However, the Python unwinder does actually want to examine the value
of the program counter, and so the lazy register value is resolved
into a non-lazy value. This sends GDB into value_fetch_lazy_register
in value.c.
Now, inside this function, if 'set debug frame on' is in effect, then
we want to print something like:
frame=%d, regnum=%d(%s), ....
Where 'frame=%d' will be the relative frame level of the frame for
which the register is being fetched, so, in this case we would expect
to see 'frame=0', i.e. we are reading a register as it would be in
frame #0. But, remember, the lazy register value actually holds the
frame-id for frame #-1 (the sentinel frame).
So, to get the frame_info for frame #0 we used to call:
frame = frame_find_by_id (VALUE_FRAME_ID (val));
Where VALUE_FRAME_ID is:
#define VALUE_FRAME_ID(val) (get_prev_frame_id_by_id (VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val)))
That is, we start with the frame-id for the next frame as obtained by
VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID, then call get_prev_frame_id_by_id to get the
frame-id of the previous frame.
The get_prev_frame_id_by_id function finds the frame_info for the
given frame-id (in this case frame #-1), calls get_prev_frame to get
the previous frame, and then calls get_frame_id.
The problem here is that calling get_frame_id requires that we know
the frame unwinder, so then have to try each frame unwinder in turn,
which would include the Python unwinder.... which is where we started,
and thus we have a loop!
To prevent this loop GDB has an assertion in place, which is what
actually triggers.
Solving the assertion failure is pretty easy, if we consider the code
in value_fetch_lazy_register and get_prev_frame_id_by_id then what we
do is:
1. Start with a frame_id taken from a value,
2. Lookup the corresponding frame,
3. Find the previous frame,
4. Get the frame_id for that frame, and
5. Lookup the corresponding frame
6. Print the frame's level
Notice that steps 3 and 5 give us the exact same result, step 4 is
just wasted effort. We could shorten this process such that we drop
steps 4 and 5, thus:
1. Start with a frame_id taken from a value,
2. Lookup the corresponding frame,
3. Find the previous frame,
6. Print the frame's level
This will give the exact same frame as a result, and this is what I
have done in this patch by removing the use of VALUE_FRAME_ID from
value_fetch_lazy_register.
Out of curiosity I looked to see how widely VALUE_FRAME_ID was used,
and saw it was only used in one other place in valops.c:value_assign,
where, once again, we take the result of VALUE_FRAME_ID and pass it to
frame_find_by_id, thus introducing a redundant frame_id lookup.
I don't think the value_assign case risks triggering the assertion
though, as we are unlikely to call value_assign while computing the
frame_id for a frame, however, we could make value_assign slightly
more efficient, with no real additional complexity, by removing the
use of VALUE_FRAME_ID.
So, in this commit, I completely remove VALUE_FRAME_ID, and replace it
with a use of VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID, followed by a direct call to
get_prev_frame_always, this should make no difference in either case,
and resolves the assertion issue from value.c.
As I said, this patch was originally part of another series, the
original test relied on the fixes in that original series. However, I
was able to create an alternative test for this issue by enabling
frame debug within an existing test script.
This commit probably fixes bug PR gdb/27938, though the bug doesn't
have a reproducer attached so it is not possible to know for sure.

The "val_print_type_code_flags ()" function is responsible for
extraction of fields for "flags" data type. These data types are
used when describing a custom register type in a target description
XML. The logic used for the extraction though is not sound:
unsigned field_len = TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (type, field);
ULONGEST field_val
= val >> (TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, field) - field_len + 1);
TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE: The bit length of the field to be extracted.
TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS: The starting position of the field; 0 is LSB.
val: The register value.
Imagine you have a field that starts at position 1 and its length
is 4 bits. According to the third line of the code snippet the
shifting right would become "val >> -2", or "val >> 0xfff...fe"
to be precise. That will result in a "field_val" of 0.
The correct extraction should be:
ULONGEST field_val = val >> TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, field);
The rest of the algorithm that masks out the higher bits is OK.
