The str () function, called on a gdb.Value instance, produces a string
representation similar to what can be achieved with the print command,
but it doesn't allow to specify additional formatting settings, for
instance disabling pretty printers.
This patch introduces a new format_string () method to gdb.Value which
allows specifying more formatting options, thus giving access to more
features provided by the internal C function common_val_print ().

I noticed that there are still many places referring to non-const
blocks. This constifies all the remaining ones that I found that
could be constified.
In a few spots, this search found unused variables or fields. I
removed these. I've also removed some unnecessary casts to
"struct block *".

A recent patch from Kevin Buettner taught me that the PyBytes API is

This patch removes the non-IS_PY3K code in infpy_write_memory()
and infpy_search_memory(). In both cases, the remaining code
from these ifdefs is related to use of the PEP 3118 buffer protocol.
(Deleted code is either due to simplification or related to use of the
old buffer protocol.) PEP 3118 is sometimes referred to as the "new"
buffer protocol, though it's not that new anymore.
The link below describes new features in Python 2.6. In particular,
it says that the buffer protocol described by PEP 3118 is in Python
2.6. It also says (at the top of the page) that Python 2.6 was
released on Oct 1, 2008.
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-3118-revised-buffer-protocol
The last security release for the Python 2.6 series was 2.6.9. It was
released on Oct 29, 2013. According to this document...
https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.9/
...support for the 2.6 series has ended:
With the 2.6.9 release, and five years after its first release,
the Python 2.6 series is now officially retired. All official
maintenance for Python 2.6, including security patches, has ended.
For ongoing maintenance releases, please see the Python 2.7
series.
As noted earlier, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, and Python 3.X all have
support for the PEP 3118 buffer protocol. Python releases prior
to 2.6 use an older buffer protocol. Since Python 2.6 has been
retired for a good while now, it seems reasonable to me to remove
code using the older buffer protocol from GDB.
I have also simplified some of the code via use of the Py_buffer
unique_ptr specialization which I introduced in the two argument
gdb.Value constructor patch series. Therefore, there is a dependency
on patch #1 from that series.
I have tested against both Python 2.7.15 and 3.7.2. I see no
regressions among the non-racy tests. I've also verified that
PyBuffer_Release is being called when the affected functions exit
while running the tests in gdb.python/py-inferior.exp by hand. I've
also tried running valgrind on GDB while running this test, but I'm
puzzled by the results that I'm seeing - I'm seeing no additional
leaks when I comment out the Py_buffer_up lines that I introduced.
That said, I'm not seeing any leaks that obviously originate from
either infpy_write_memory() or infpy_search_memory().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_write_memory): Remove non-IS_PY3K
code from these functions. Remove corresponding ifdefs. Use
Py_buffer_up instead of explicit calls to PyBuffer_Release.
Remove gotos and target of gotos.
(infpy_search_memory): Likewise.
Provided a buffer BUFOBJ and a type TYPE, construct a gdb.Value object
with type TYPE, where the value's contents are taken from BUFOBJ.
E.g...
(gdb) python import struct
(gdb) python unsigned_int_type=gdb.lookup_type('unsigned int')
(gdb) python b=struct.pack('=I',0xdeadbeef)
(gdb) python v=gdb.Value(b, unsigned_int_type) ; print("%#x" % v)
0xdeadbeef
This two argument form of the gdb.Value constructor may also be used
to obtain gdb values from selected portions of buffers read with
Inferior.read_memory(). The test case (which is in a separate patch)
demonstrates this use case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-value.c (convert_buffer_and_type_to_value): New
function.
(valpy_new): Parse arguments via gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
Add support for handling an optional second argument. Call
convert_buffer_and_type_to_value as appropriate.
This patch causes PyBuffer_Release() to be called when the associated
buffer goes out of scope. I've been using it as follows:
...
Py_buffer_up buffer_up;
Py_buffer py_buf;
if (PyObject_CheckBuffer (obj)
&& PyObject_GetBuffer (obj, &py_buf, PyBUF_SIMPLE) == 0)
{
/* Got a buffer, py_buf, out of obj. Cause it to released
when it goes out of scope. */
buffer_up.reset (&py_buf);
}
...
This snippet of code was taken directly from an upcoming patch to
python-value.c.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python-internal.h (Py_buffer_deleter): New struct.
(Py_buffer_up): New typedef.
While working on my other scripts to deal with gdb headers, I noticed
that some files were missing include guards. I wrote a script to add
the missing ones, but found that using the obvious names for the
guards ran into clashes -- for example, gdb/nat/linux-nat.h used
"LINUX_NAT_H", but this was also the script's choice for
gdb/linux-nat.h.
So, I changed the script to normalize all include guards in gdb. This
patch is the result.
As usual the script is available here:
https://github.com/tromey/gdb-refactoring-scripts
Tested by rebuilding; I also ran it through "Fedora-x86_64-m64" on the
buildbot.

PR python/23615 points out that gdb.execute_gdb_command does not
release the Python GIL. This means that, while the gdb command is
running, other Python threads do not run.
This patch solves the problem by introducing a new RAII class that can
be used to temporarily release and then re-acquire the GIL, then puts
this into the appropriate places in execute_gdb_command and
gdbpy_parse_and_eval.
This does not include a test case, because after some research I could
not find a way to write one that was not racy.

PR gdb/28155 notes a crash in "finish" that occurs with a particular
source file compiled by clang.
The bug is the typical gdb problem of a missing call to check_typedef.
clang emits a function whose return type is a typedef to void.
get_return_value asserts that the return type is not void, but the
callers were not using check_typedef first.

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 adds some output styling to the CLI.
A style is currently a foreground color, a background color, and an
intensity (dim or bold). (This list could be expanded depending on
terminal capabilities.)
A style can be applied while printing. For ui-out, this is done by
passing the style constant as an argument. For low-level cases,
fprintf_styled and fputs_styled are provided.
Users can control the style via a number of new set/show commands. In
the interest of not typing many nearly-identical documentation
strings, I automated this. On the down side, this is not very
i18n-friendly.
I've chose some default colors to use. I think it would be good to
enable this by default, so that when users start the new gdb, they
will see the new feature.
Stylizing is done if TERM is set and is not "dumb". This could be
improved when the TUI is available by using the curses has_colors
call. That is, the lowest layer could call this without committing to
using curses everywhere; see my other patch for TUI colorizing.
I considered adding a new "set_style" method to ui_file. However,
because the implementation had to interact with the pager code, I
didn't take this approach. But, one idea might be to put the isatty
check there and then have it defer to the lower layers.

A while back I typed "info pretty-printers" with a large number of
printers installed, and I typed "q" to stop the pagination. I noticed
that gdb printed a Python exception in this case.
It seems to me that, instead, quitting pagination (or control-c'ing a
Python command generally) should be handled the same way that gdb
normally handles a quit.
This patch implements this idea by changing gdbpy_handle_exception to
treat PyExc_KeyboardInterrupt specially.

With a following patch, find_thread_ptid will first find the inferior
for the passed-in ptid, using find_inferior_pid, and then look for the
thread in that inferior's thread list. If we pass down null_ptid to
find_thread_ptid then that means we'll end up passing 0 to
find_inferior_pid, which hits this assertion:
> struct inferior *
> find_inferior_pid (int pid)
> {
> struct inferior *inf;
>
> /* Looking for inferior pid == 0 is always wrong, and indicative of
> a bug somewhere else. There may be more than one with pid == 0,
> for instance. */
> gdb_assert (pid != 0);
This patch prepares for the change, by avoiding passing down null_ptid
to find_thread_ptid or to functions that naturally use it, such as the
target_pid_to_str call in inferior.c:add_inferior. In that latter
case, the patch changes GDB output,
from:
(gdb) add-inferior
[New inferior 2 (process 0)]
to:
(gdb) add-inferior
[New inferior 2]
which seems like a good change to me. It might not even make sense to
talk about "process" for the current target, for example.
The python_on_normal_stop change ends up avoiding looking up the
same thread twice (inferior_thread also does a look up).

Since commit
56bcdbea2b ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
command repetition after using the `gdb.execute` Python function
fails (the previous command is not repeated anymore). This happens
because read_command_lines_1 sets dont_repeat, but the call to
prevent_dont_repeat in execute_gdb_command is later.
The fix is to move the call to prevent_dont_repeat to the beginning of
the function.
Tested on my laptop (ArchLinux-x86_64).

This replaces more pointer+length with gdb::array_view. This time,
around invoke_xmethod, and then propagating the fallout around, which
inevitably leaks to the overload resolution code.
There are several places in the code that want to grab a slice of an
array, by advancing the array pointer, and decreasing the length
pointer. This patch introduces a pair of new
gdb::array_view::slice(...) methods to make that convenient and clear.
Unit test included.

This replaces a few uses of pointer+length with gdb::array_view, in

Unfortunately, due to -Wnarrowing, there are places where we can't
brace-initialize an gdb::array_view without an ugly-ish cast. To
avoid the cast, this patch introduces a gdb::make_array_view function.
Unit tests included.
This patch in isolation may not look so interesting, due to
gdb::make_array_view uses, but I think it's still worth it. Some of
the gdb::make_array_view calls disappear down the series, and others
could be eliminated with more (non-trivial) gdb::array_view
detangling/conversion (e.g. code around eval_call). See this as a "we

I've written a couple of gdb unwinders in Python, and while doing so,
I wanted to find the architecture of the inferior. (In an unwinder in
particular, one can't use the frame's architecture, because there is
no frame.)
This patch adds Inferior.architecture to allow this. Normally I think
I would have chosen an attribute and not a method here, but seeing
that Frame.architecture is a method, I chose a method as well, for

In the distant past, there was no distinction between domain_enum and
search_domain. At that point, there were two sets of enumerators in a
single enum -- which is why these were eventually split. This
confusion leaked out to the Python API as well, as noted in
PR python/21765.
This patch deprecates the constants that aren't useful to the Python
API. They are left in place for now, but removed from the
documentation. Also, their values are changed so that, if used, they
might work. Finally, missing domains and location constants are
added.

not print the Python stack -- instead the exception is treated as any
other gdb exception.

Digging a bit shows that the Python 2.7 int() constructor will happily

Since commit
56bcdbea2b ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
trying to use a command like gdb.execute("show commands") in Python
fails. GDB ends up trying to run the "commands" command.
The reason is that GDB gets confused with the special "commands"
command. In process_next_line, the lookup_cmd_1 function returns the
cmd_list_element representing the "commands" sub-command of "show".
Lower, we check the cmd_list_element to see if it matches various
control commands by name, including the "commands" command. This is
where we wrongfully conclude that the executed command must be
"commands", when in reality it was "show commands".
The fix proposed in this patch removes the comparisons by name, instead
comparing the cmd_list_element object by pointer with the objects
created at initialization time.
Tested on the buildbot, though on a single builder (Fedora-x86_64-m64).

Some Python APIs steal references from their caller, and the refcount
checker supports this via an attribute.
However, in gdb with C++ we have a better idiom available: we can use
std::move on a gdbpy_ref<> instead. This makes the semantics obvious
at the point of call, and is safer at runtime as well, because the
callee's gdbpy_ref<> will be emptied.
This patch changes the reference-stealing code in gdb to use rvalue
references instead.

Printing a GDB Python object is notoriously not helpful:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior object at 0x7fea59aed198>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile object at 0x7fea59b57c90>]
This makes printing debug traces more difficult than it should be. This
patch provides some repr() implementation for these two types (more to
come if people agree with the idea, but I want to test the water first).
Here's the same example as above, but with this patch:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior num=1>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile filename=/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb-gcc-git/gdb/test>]
I implemented repr rather than str, because when printing a list (or
another container I suppose), Python calls the repr method of the
elements. This is useful when printing a list of inferiors or objfiles.
The print(gdb.objfiles()) above would not have worked if I had
implemented str.

str:

So on frame #10, we're marking a newly-discovered thread as running,
and that causes the Python API to emit a gdb.ContinueEvent.
gdb.ContinueEvent is a gdb.ThreadEvent, and as such includes the event
thread as the "inferior_thread" attribute. The problem is that when
we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is
being marked as running. create_continue_event_object assumes that it
is the current thread, which is not true in this case.
Fix this by passing down the right thread in
create_continue_event_object. Also remove
create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other
caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too.

This is more preparation bits for multi-target support.
In a multi-target scenario, we need to address the case of different
processes/threads running on different targets that happen to have the
same PID/PTID. E.g., we can have both process 123 in target 1, and
process 123 in target 2, while they're in reality different processes
running on different machines. Or maybe we've loaded multiple
instances of the same core file. Etc.
To address this, in my WIP multi-target branch, threads and processes
are uniquely identified by the (process_stratum target_ops *, ptid_t)
and (process_stratum target_ops *, pid) tuples respectively. I.e.,
each process_stratum instance has its own thread/process number space.
As you can imagine, that requires passing around target_ops * pointers
in a number of functions where we're currently passing only a ptid_t
or an int. E.g., when we look up a thread_info object by ptid_t in
find_thread_ptid, the ptid_t alone isn't sufficient.
In many cases though, we already have the thread_info or inferior
pointer handy, but we "lose" it somewhere along the call stack, only
to look it up again by ptid_t/pid. Since thread_info or inferior
objects know their parent target, if we pass around thread_info or
inferior pointers when possible, we avoid having to add extra
target_ops parameters to many functions, and also, we eliminate a
number of by ptid_t/int lookups.
So that's what this patch does. In a bit more detail:
- Changes a number of functions and methods to take a thread_info or
inferior pointer instead of a ptid_t or int parameter.
- Changes a number of structure fields from ptid_t/int to inferior or
thread_info pointers.
- Uses the inferior_thread() function whenever possible instead of
inferior_ptid.
- Uses thread_info pointers directly when possible instead of the
is_running/is_stopped etc. routines that require a lookup.
- A number of functions are eliminated along the way, such as:
int valid_gdb_inferior_id (int num);
int pid_to_gdb_inferior_id (int pid);
int gdb_inferior_id_to_pid (int num);
int in_inferior_list (int pid);
- A few structures and places hold a thread_info pointer across
inferior execution, so now they take a strong reference to the
(refcounted) thread_info object to avoid the thread_info pointer
getting stale. This is done in enable_thread_stack_temporaries and
in the infcall.c code.
- Related, there's a spot in infcall.c where using a RAII object to
handle the refcount would be handy, so a gdb::ref_ptr specialization
for thread_info is added (thread_info_ref, in gdbthread.h), along
with a gdb_ref_ptr policy that works for all refcounted_object types
(in common/refcounted-object.h).

removal of some cleanups.
I chose unique_xmalloc_ptr rather than byte_vector here due to the way
Guile unwinding seems to work.

TYPE_TAG_NAME has been an occasional source of confusion and bugs. It
seems to me that it is only useful for C and C++ -- but even there,
not so much, because at least with DWARF there doesn't seem to be any
way to wind up with a type where the name and the tag name are both
non-NULL and different.
So, this patch removes TYPE_TAG_NAME entirely. This should save a
little memory, but more importantly, it simplifies this part of gdb.
A few minor test suite adjustments were needed. In some situations
the new code does not yield identical output to the old code.

It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI
will print the "set" help text by default. I think usually "set"
commands should be silent. And, while you can modify this behavior a
bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an
empty string, a blank line will be printed.
This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string
behavior to avoid printing a blank line. The code has a comment about
preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important;
and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is
trivial.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 26.

This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at
each call, this is not exposed to Python; it could be, but I think
it's just as good to write a convenience function in this situation.
This is PR python/23080.

This removes a VEC from type.c, by using std::vector.
While doing this I also took the opportunity to change
types_deeply_equal to return bool. This caught some weird code in
typy_richcompare, now fixed.
And, since I was changing types_deeply_equal, it seemed like a good
idea to also change types_equal, so this patch includes that as well.

The function interp_ui_out simply calls the interp_ui_out method.
However, if it is passed a NULL interpreter, it first finds the
current interpreter. I believe, though, that NULL is never passed
here, and I think it's simpler to just remove this function and
require callers to be more explicit.

PR python/22731:
* gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp: Test setting breakpoint commands.
Currently command lines are reference counted using shared_ptr only
when attached to breakpoints. This patch changes gdb to use
shared_ptr in commands as well. This allows for the removal of
copy_command_lines.
Note that the change to execute_user_command explicitly makes a new
reference to the command line. This will be used in a later patch.
This simplifies struct command_line based on the observation that a
given command can have at most two child bodies: an "if" can have both
"then" and "else" parts. Perhaps the names I've chosen for the
replacements here are not very good -- your input requested.
