Arm64: re-work PR gas/27217 fix
The original approach has resulted in anomalies when . is involved in an
operand of one of the affected insns. We cannot leave . unresolved, or
else it'll be resolved at the end of assembly, then pointing to the
address of a section rather than at the insn of interest. Undo part of
the original change and instead check whether a relocation cannot be
omitted in md_apply_fix().
By resolving the expressions again, equates (see the adjustment of the
respective testcase) will now be evaluated, and hence relocations
against absolute addresses be emitted. This ought to be okay as long as
the equates aren't global (and hence can't be overridden). If a need
for such arises, quite likely the only way to address this would be to
invent yet another expression evaluation mode, leaving everything
_except_ . un-evaluated.
There's a further anomaly in how transitive equates are handled. In
.set x, 0x12345678
.eqv bar, x
foo:
adrp x0, x
add x0, x0, :lo12:x
adrp x0, bar
add x0, x0, :lo12:bar
the first two relocations are now against *ABS*:0x12345678 (as said
above), whereas the latter two relocations would be against x. (Before
the change here, the first two relocations are against x and the latter
two against bar.) But this is an issue seen elsewhere as well, and would
likely require adjustments in the target-independent parts of the
assembler instead of trying to hack around this for every target.

The existing type-safe "key" class is replaced with the equivalent

functions to be an operator() in a deleter class.
The old "save/free" two-phase process is removed, and replaced with a

gdb/python: Add BreakpointLocation type
PR python/18385
v7:
This version addresses the issues pointed out by Tom.
Added nullchecks for Python object creations.
Changed from using PyLong_FromLong to the gdb_py-versions.
Re-factored some code to make it look more cohesive.
Also added the more safe Python reference count decrement PY_XDECREF,
even though the BreakpointLocation type is never instantiated by the
user (explicitly documented in the docs) decrementing < 0 is made
impossible with the safe call.
Tom pointed out that using the policy class explicitly to decrement a
reference counted object was not the way to go, so this has instead been
wrapped in a ref_ptr that handles that for us in blocpy_dealloc.
Moved macro from py-internal to py-breakpoint.c.
Renamed section at the bottom of commit message "Patch Description".
v6:
This version addresses the points Pedro gave in review to this patch.
Added the attributes `function`, `fullname` and `thread_groups`
as per request by Pedro with the argument that it more resembles the
output of the MI-command "-break-list". Added documentation for these attributes.
Cleaned up left overs from copy+paste in test suite, removed hard coding
of line numbers where possible.
Refactored some code to use more c++-y style range for loops
wrt to breakpoint locations.
Changed terminology, naming was very inconsistent. Used a variety of "parent",
"owner". Now "owner" is the only term used, and the field in the
gdb_breakpoint_location_object now also called "owner".
v5:
Changes in response to review by Tom Tromey:
- Replaced manual INCREF/DECREF calls with
gdbpy_ref ptrs in places where possible.
- Fixed non-gdb style conforming formatting
- Get parent of bploc increases ref count of parent.
- moved bploc Python definition to py-breakpoint.c
The INCREF of self in bppy_get_locations is due
to the individual locations holding a reference to
it's owner. This is decremented at de-alloc time.
The reason why this needs to be here is, if the user writes
for instance;
py loc = gdb.breakpoints()[X].locations[Y]
The breakpoint owner object is immediately going
out of scope (GC'd/dealloced), and the location
object requires it to be alive for as long as it is alive.
Thanks for your review, Tom!
v4:
Fixed remaining doc issues as per request
by Eli.
Currently, the Python API lacks the ability to
query breakpoints for their installed locations,
and subsequently, can't query any information about them, or
enable/disable individual locations.
This patch solves this by adding Python type gdb.BreakpointLocation.
The type is never instantiated by the user of the Python API directly,
but is produced by the gdb.Breakpoint.locations attribute returning
a list of gdb.BreakpointLocation.
gdb.Breakpoint.locations:
The attribute for retrieving the currently installed breakpoint
locations for gdb.Breakpoint. Matches behavior of
the "info breakpoints" command in that it only
returns the last known or currently inserted breakpoint locations.
BreakpointLocation contains 7 attributes
6 read-only attributes:
owner: location owner's Python companion object
source: file path and line number tuple: (string, long) / None
address: installed address of the location
function: function name where location was set
fullname: fullname where location was set
thread_groups: thread groups (inferiors) where location was set.
1 writeable attribute:
enabled: get/set enable/disable this location (bool)
Access/calls to these, can all throw Python exceptions (documented in
the online documentation), and that's due to the nature
of how breakpoint locations can be invalidated
"behind the scenes", either by them being removed
from the original breakpoint or changed,
like for instance when a new symbol file is loaded, at
which point all breakpoint locations are re-created by GDB.
Therefore this patch has chosen to be non-intrusive:
it's up to the Python user to re-request the locations if
they become invalid.
Also there's event handlers that handle new object files etc, if a Python
user is storing breakpoint locations in some larger state they've
built up, refreshing the locations is easy and it only comes
with runtime overhead when the Python user wants to use them.
gdb.BreakpointLocation Python type
struct "gdbpy_breakpoint_location_object" is found in python-internal.h
Its definition, layout, methods and functions
are found in the same file as gdb.Breakpoint (py-breakpoint.c)
1 change was also made to breakpoint.h/c to make it possible
to enable and disable a bp_location* specifically,
without having its LOC_NUM, as this number
also can change arbitrarily behind the scenes.
Updated docs & news file as per request.
Testsuite: tests the .source attribute and the disabling of
individual locations.
Unfortunately, this interface is not implemented for writing in older
kernels (such as RHEL6). This means that GDB is unable to insert
breakpoints on these hosts:
$ ./gdb -q gdb -ex start
Reading symbols from gdb...
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40fdd5: file ../../src/gdb/gdb.c, line 28.
Starting program: /home/rhel6/fsf/linux/gdb/gdb
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x40fdd5

Before this patch, linux_proc_xfer_memory_partial (previously called
linux_proc_xfer_partial) would return TARGET_XFER_EOF if the write to
/proc/PID/mem failed. [More specifically, linux_proc_xfer_partial
would not "bother for one word," but the effect is the essentially
same.]
This status was checked by linux_nat_target::xfer_partial, which would
then fallback to using ptrace to perform the operation.
This is the specific hunk that removed the fallback:
This patch makes linux_nat_target::xfer_partial go straight to writing
memory via ptrace if writing via /proc/pid/mem is not possible in the
running kernel, enabling GDB to insert breakpoints on these older
kernels. Note that a recent patch changed the return status from
TARGET_XFER_EOF to TARGET_XFER_E_IO.

Tested by rebuilding on GNU/Hurd, FreeBSD/amd64 and NetBSD/amd64.
GDB would no longer build using g++ 4.8. The issue appears to be some
confusion caused by GDB having 'struct gdbarch_tdep', but also a
templated function called 'gdbarch_tdep'. Prior to the above commit
the gdbarch_tdep function was not templated, and this compiled just
fine. Note that the above commit compiles just fine with later

I've not tried to track down exactly when.
In this commit I propose to fix the g++ 4.8 build problem by renaming
'struct gdbarch_tdep' to 'struct gdbarch_tdep_base'. This rename
better represents that the struct is only ever used as a base class,
and removes the overloading of the name, which allows GDB to build
with g++ 4.8.
I've also updated the comment on 'struct gdbarch_tdep_base' to fix a
typo, and the comment on the 'gdbarch_tdep' function, to mention that
in maintainer mode a run-time type check is performed.

gdb/varobj: Fix varobj_invalidate_iter
The varobj_invalidate function is meant to be called when restarting a
process, and check at this point if some of the previously existing
varobj can be recreated in the context of the new process.
Two kind of varobj are subject to re-creation: global varobj (i.e.
varobj which reference a global variable), and floating varobj (i.e.
varobj which are always re-evaluated in the context of whatever is
the currently selected frame at the time of evaluation).
However, in the re-creation process, the varobj_invalidate_iter
recreates floating varobj as non-floating, due to an invalid parameter.
This patches fixes this and adds an assertion to check that if a varobj
is indeed recreated, it matches the original varobj "floating" property.
Another issue is that if at this recreation time the expression watched
by the floating varobj is not in scope, then the varobj is marked as
invalid. If later the user selects a frame where the expression becomes
valid, the varobj remains invalid and this is wrong. This patch also
make sure that floating varobj are not invalidated if they cannot be
evaluated.
The last important thing to note is that due to the previous patch, when
varobj_invalidate is executed (in the context of a new process), any
global var have already been invalidated (this has been done when the
objfile it referred to got invalidated). As a consequence,
varobj_invalidate tries to recreate vars which are already marked as
invalid. This does not entirely feels right, but I keep this behavior
for backward compatibility.

gdb/varobj: Fix use after free in varobj
Varobj object contains references to types, variables (i.e. struct
variable) and expression. All of those can reference data on an
objfile's obstack. It is possible for this objfile to be deleted (and
the obstack to be feed), while the varobj remains valid. Later, if the
user uses the varobj, this will result in a use-after-free error. With
address sanitizer build, this leads to a plain error. For non address
sanitizer build we might see undefined behaviour, which manifest
themself as assertion failures when accessing data backed by feed
memory.
This can be observed if we create a varobj that refers to ta symbol in a
shared library, after either the objfile gets reloaded (using the `file`
command) or after the shared library is unloaded (with a call to dlclose
for example).
This patch fixes those issues by:
- Adding cleanup procedure to the free_objfile observable. When
activated this observer clears expressions referencing the objfile
being freed, and removes references to blocks belonging to this
objfile.
- Adding varobj support in the `preserve_values` (gdb.value.c). This
ensures that before the objfile is unloaded, any type owned by the
objfile referenced by the varobj is replaced by an equivalent type
not owned by the objfile. This process is done here instead of in the
free_objfile observer in order to reuse the type hash table already
used for similar purpose when replacing types of values kept in the
value history.
This patch also makes sure to keep a reference to the expression's
gdbarch and language_defn members when the varobj->root->exp is
initialized. Those structures outlive the objfile, so this is safe.
This is done because those references might be used initialize a python
context even after exp is invalidated. Another approach could have been
to initialize the python context with default gdbarch and language_defn
(i.e. nullptr) if expr is NULL, but since we might still try to display
the value which was obtained by evaluating exp when it was still valid,
keeping track of the context which was used at this time seems
reasonable.

I recently proposed adding something like this to the .gitattributes

So, in this commit, I propose to update the top-level .gitattributes
file, after this commit, any git diff on a C, C++, Expect, or TCL
source file, will highlight the following whitespace errors:
(a) Use a space before a tab at the start of a line,
(b) Use of spaces where a tab could be used at the start of a line,
and
(c) Any trailing whitespace.
Errors are only highlighted in the diff on new or modified lines, so
you don't get spammed for errors on context lines that you haven't
modified.
The only downside I see to adding this at the top level is if there
are any sub-directories that don't follow the tabs/spaces indentation
rules very well already, in those directories you'll end up hitting
issues any time you edit a line. For GDB we're usually pretty good,
so having this highlighting isn't an issue.

stack pointers (msp_s, msp_ns, psp_s, psp_ns), without security
extensions and for other Cortex-M targets, there are 2 different
stack pointers (msp and psp).
With this patch, sp will always be in sync with one of the real stack
pointers on Arm targets that contain more than one stack pointer.
As the register numbers for the alternative Arm SP registers are not
constant, it's not possible to use switch statement to define the
rules. In order to not have a mix, replace the few existing
switch statements with regular if-else if statements

libopcodes/ppc: add support for disassembler styling
This commit adds disassembler styling to the libopcodes ppc
disassembler. This conversion was pretty straight forward, I just
converted the fprintf_func calls to fprintf_styled_func calls and
added an appropriate style.
For testing the new styling I just assembled then disassembled the
source files in gas/testsuite/gas/ppc and manually checked that the
styling looked reasonable.
I think the only slightly weird case was how things like '4*cr1+eq'
are styled. As best I can tell, this construct, used for example in
this instruction:
crand 4*cr1+lt,4*cr1+gt,4*cr1+eq
is used to access a field of a control register. I initially tried
styling this whole construct as a register[1], but during review it
was suggested that instead different parts of the text should have
different styles. In this commit I propose styling '4*cr1+lt' like
this:

Re: PowerPC64 .branch_lt address
On seeing PR29369 my suspicion was naturally on a recent powerpc64
change, commit 0ab80031430e. Without a reproducer, I spent time
wondering what could have gone wrong, and while I doubt this patch
would have fixed the PR, there are some improvements that can be made
to cater for user silliness.
I also noticed that when -z relro -z now sections are created out of
order, with .got before .plt in the section headers but .got is laid
out at a higher address. That's due to the address expression for
.branch_lt referencing SIZEOF(.got) and so calling init_os (which
creates a bfd section) for .got before the .plt section is created.
Fix that by ignoring SIZEOF in exp_init_os. Unlike ADDR and LOADADDR
which need to reference section vma and lma respectively, SIZEOF can
and does cope with a missing bfd section by returning zero for its
size, which of course is correct.

The exec contains a .debug_names section, which gdb rejects due to

Gdb then falls back onto the cooked index, which calls create_all_comp_units
to create all_comp_units. However, the failed index reading left some
elements in all_comp_units, so we end up with duplicates in all_comp_units,
which causes the misleading complaint and the assert.
Fix this by:
- asserting at the start of create_all_comp_units that all_comp_units is empty,
as we do in create_cus_from_index and create_cus_from_debug_names, and
- cleaning up all_comp_units when failing in dwarf2_read_debug_names.

gdb: ensure the cast in gdbarch_tdep is valid
This commit makes use of gdb::checked_static_cast when casting the
generic gdbarch_tdep pointer to a specific sub-class type. This means
that, when compiled in developer mode, GDB will validate that the cast
is correct.
In order to use gdb::checked_static_cast the types involved must have
RTTI, which is why the gdbarch_tdep base class now has a virtual
destructor.
Assuming there are no bugs in GDB where we cast a gdbarch_tdep pointer
to the wrong type, then there should be no changes after this commit.
If any bugs do exist, then GDB will now assert (in a developer build).
The idea is to add a new function gdb::checked_static_cast, which can,
in some cases, be used as a drop-in replacement for static_cast. And
so, if I previously wrote this:
The requirement is that BaseClass and DerivedClass must be
polymorphic.
The benefit of making this change is that, when GDB is built in
developer mode, a run-time check will be made to ensure that `base`
really is of type DerivedClass before the cast is performed. If
`base` is not of type DerivedClass then GDB will assert.
In a non-developer build gdb::checked_static_cast is equivalent to a
static_cast, and there should be no performance difference.
This commit adds the support function, but does not make use of this
function, a use will be added in the next commit.

gdb: move the type cast into gdbarch_tdep
I built GDB for all targets on a x86-64/GNU-Linux system, and
then (accidentally) passed GDB a RISC-V binary, and asked GDB to "run"
the binary on the native target. I got this error:
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386").

../../src/gdb/i387-tdep.c:596: internal-error: i387_supply_fxsave: Assertion `tdep->st0_regnum >= I386_ST0_REGNUM' failed.
What's going on here is this; initially the architecture is i386, this
is based on the default architecture, which is set based on the native
target. After loading the RISC-V executable the architecture of the
current inferior is updated based on the architecture of the
executable.
When we "run", GDB does a fork & exec, with the inferior being
controlled through ptrace. GDB sees an initial stop from the inferior
as soon as the inferior comes to life. In response to this stop GDB
ends up calling save_stop_reason (linux-nat.c), which ends up trying
to read register from the inferior, to do this we end up calling
target_ops::fetch_registers, which, for the x86-64 native target,
calls amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers.
After this I eventually end up in i387_supply_fxsave, different x86
based targets will end in different functions to fetch registers, but
it doesn't really matter which function we end up in, the problem is
this line, which is repeated in many places:
The problem here is that the ARCH in this line comes from the current
inferior, which, as we discussed above, will be a RISC-V gdbarch, the
tdep field will actually be of type riscv_gdbarch_tdep, not
i386_gdbarch_tdep. After this cast we are relying on undefined
behaviour, in my case I happen to trigger an assert, but this might
not always be the case.
The thing I tried that exposed this problem was of course, trying to
start an executable of the wrong architecture on a native target. I
don't think that the correct solution for this problem is to detect,
at the point of cast, that the gdbarch_tdep object is of the wrong
type, but, I did wonder, is there a way that we could protect
ourselves from incorrectly casting the gdbarch_tdep object?
I think that there is something we can do here, and this commit is the
first step in that direction, though no actual check is added by this
commit.
This commit can be split into two parts:
(1) In gdbarch.h and arch-utils.c. In these files I have modified
gdbarch_tdep (the function) so that it now takes a template argument,
like this:
After this change we are no better protected, but the cast is now
done within the gdbarch_tdep function rather than at the call sites,
this leads to the second, much larger change in this commit,
(2) Everywhere gdbarch_tdep is called, we make changes like this:

gdb: select suitable thread for gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address
The three targets that implement gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address are
arm, frv, and mips. In each of these targets the adjust breakpoint
address function does some combination of reading the symbol table, or
reading memory at the location the breakpoint could be placed.
The problem is that performing these actions requires that the current
inferior and program space be the one in which the breakpoint will be
placed, and this is not currently always the case.
Consider a GDB session with multiple inferiors. One inferior might be
a native target while another could be a remote target of a completely
different architecture. Alternatively, if we consider ARM and
AArch64, one native inferior might be AArch64, while a second native
inferior could be ARM.
In these cases it is possible, and valid, for a user to have one
inferior selected, and place a breakpoint in the other inferior by
placing a breakpoint on a particular symbol.
If this happens, then currently, when
gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address is called, the wrong inferior (and
program space) will be selected, and memory reads, and symbol look
ups, will not return the expected results, this could lead to
breakpoints being placed in the wrong location.
There are currently two places where gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address
is called:
1. In infrun.c, in the function handle_step_into_function. In this
case, I believe that the correct inferior and program space will
already be selected as this is called as part of the stop event
handling, so I don't think we need to worry about this case, and
2. In breakpoint.c, in the function adjust_breakpoint_address, which
is itself called from code_breakpoint::add_location and
watch_command_1.
The watch_command_1 case I don't think we need to worry about, this
is for when a local watch expression is created, which can only be
in the currently selected inferior, so this case should be fine.
The code_breakpoint::add_location case is the one that needs fixing,
this is what allows a breakpoint to be created between inferiors.
To fix the code_breakpoint::add_location case, I propose that we pass
the "correct" program_space (i.e. the program space in which the
breakpoint will be created) to the adjust_breakpoint_address function.
Then in adjust_breakpoint_address we can make use of
switch_to_program_space_and_thread to switch program_space and
inferior before calling gdbarch_adjust_breakpoint_address.
I discovered this issue while working on a later patch in this
series. This later patch will detect when we cast the result of
gdbarch_tdep to the wrong type.
With this later patch in place I ran gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp on an
AArch64 target. In this situation, two inferiors are created, an
AArch64 inferior, and an ARM inferior. The test selected the AArch64
inferior and tries to create a breakpoint in the ARM inferior.
As a result of this we end up in arm_adjust_breakpoint_address, which
calls arm_pc_is_thumb. Before this commit the AArch64 inferior would
be current. As a result, all of the checks in arm_pc_is_thumb would
fail (they rely on reading symbols from the current program space),
and so, at the end of arm_pc_is_thumb we would call
arm_frame_is_thumb. However, remember, at this point the current
inferior is the AArch64 inferior, so the current frame is an AArch64
frame.
In arm_frame_is_thumb we call arm_psr_thumb_bit, which calls
gdbarch_tdep and casts the result to arm_gdbarch_tdep. This is wrong,
the tdep field is of type aarch64_gdbarch_tdep. After this we have
undefined behaviour.
With this patch in place, we will have switched to a thread in the ARM
program space before calling arm_adjust_breakpoint_address. As a
result, we now succeed in looking up the required symbols in
arm_pc_is_thumb, and so we never call arm_frame_is_thumb.
However, in the worst case scenario, if we did end up calling
arm_frame_is_thumb, as the current inferior should now be the ARM
inferior, the current frame should be an ARM frame, so we still should
not hit undefined behaviour.

gdb/mips: rewrite show_mask_address
This commit is similar to the previous commit, but in this case GDB is
actually relying on undefined behaviour.
Consider building GDB for all targets on x86-64/GNU-Linux, then doing
this:
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is auto.
The 32 bit address mask is set automatically. Currently disabled
(gdb)
The 'show mips mask-address' command ends up in show_mask_address in
mips-tdep.c, and this function does this:
Later we might pass TDEP to mips_mask_address_p. However, in my
example above, on an x86-64 native target, the current target
architecture will be an x86-64 gdbarch, and the tdep field within the
gdbarch will be of type i386_gdbarch_tdep, not of type
mips_gdbarch_tdep, as a result the cast above was incorrect, and TDEP
is not pointing at what it thinks it is.
I also think the current output is a little confusing, we appear to
have two lines that show the same information, but using different
words.
The first line comes from calling deprecated_show_value_hack, while
the second line is printed directly from show_mask_address. However,
both of these lines are printing the same mask_address_var value. I
don't think the two lines actually adds any value here.
Finally, none of the text in this function is passed through the
internationalisation mechanism.
It would be nice to remove another use of deprecated_show_value_hack
if possible, so this commit does a complete rewrite of
show_mask_address.
After this commit the output of the above example command, still on my
x86-64 native target is:
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is "auto" (current architecture is not MIPS).
The 'current architecture is not MIPS' text is only displayed when the
current architecture is not MIPS. If the architecture is mips then we
get the more commonly seen 'currently "on"' or 'currently "off"', like
this:
(gdb) set architecture mips
The target architecture is set to "mips".
(gdb) show mips mask-address
Zeroing of upper 32 bits of 64-bit addresses is "auto" (currently "off").
(gdb)
All the text is passed through the internationalisation mechanism, and
we only call gdbarch_tdep when we know the gdbarch architecture is
bfd_arch_mips.

gdb/arm: move fetch of arm_gdbarch_tdep to a more inner scope
This is a small refactor to resolve an issue before it becomes a
problem in a later commit.
Move the fetching of an arm_gdbarch_tdep into a more inner scope
within two functions in arm-tdep.c.
The problem with the current code is that the functions in question
are used as the callbacks for two set/show parameters. These set/show
parameters are available no matter the current architecture, but are
really about controlling an ARM architecture specific setting. And
so, if I build GDB for all targets on an x86-64/GNU-Linux system, I
can still do this:
(gdb) show arm fpu
(gdb) show arm abi
After these calls we end up in show_fp_model and arm_show_abi
respectively, where we unconditionally do this:
However, the gdbarch_tdep() result will only be a arm_gdbarch_tdep if
the current architecture is ARM, otherwise the result will actually be
of some other type.
This isn't actually a problem, as in both cases the use of tdep is
guarded by a later check that the gdbarch architecture is
bfd_arch_arm.
This commit just moves the call to gdbarch_tdep() after the
architecture check.
In a later commit gdbarch_tdep() will be able to spot when we are
casting the result to the wrong type, and this function will trigger
assertion failures if things are not fixed.

nr_cus == 6 and nr_tus == 1.
Now override ull in dw2_debug_names_iterator::next for the DW_IDX_compile_unit
case to 6, and we have:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -iex "set complaints 100" ./a.out
During symbol reading: .debug_names entry has bad CU index 6 [in module a.out]

/* Skip if already read in. */
if (m_per_objfile->symtab_set_p (per_cu))

is called with per_cu == nullptr.
Fix this by skipping the entry if per_cu == nullptr.

Handle Python 3.11 deprecation of PySys_SetPath and Py_SetProgramName
Python 3.11 deprecates PySys_SetPath and Py_SetProgramName. The
PyConfig API replaces these and other functions. This commit uses the
PyConfig API to provide equivalent functionality while also preserving
support for older versions of Python, i.e. those before Python 3.8.
A beta version of Python 3.11 is available in Fedora Rawhide. Both
Fedora 35 and Fedora 36 use Python 3.10, while Fedora 34 still used
Python 3.9. I've tested these changes on Fedora 34, Fedora 36, and
rawhide, though complete testing was not possible on rawhide due to
a kernel bug. That being the case, I decided to enable the newer
PyConfig API by testing PY_VERSION_HEX against 0x030a0000. This
corresponds to Python 3.10.
We could try to use the PyConfig API for Python versions as early as 3.8,
but I'm reluctant to do this as there may have been PyConfig related
bugs in earlier versions which have since been fixed. Recent linux
distributions should have support for Python 3.10. This should be
more than adequate for testing the new Python initialization code in
GDB.
Information about the PyConfig API as well as the motivation behind
deprecating the old interface can be found at these links:
The v2 commit also addresses several problems that Simon found in
the v1 version.
In v1, I had used Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization
code, but Simon pointed out that this global configuration variable
will be deprecated in Python 3.12. This version of the patch no longer
uses Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization code.
Additionally, both Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag and Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag
will no longer be used when building GDB against Python 3.10 or higher.
While it's true that both of these global configuration variables are
deprecated in Python 3.12, it makes sense to disable their use for
gdb builds against 3.10 and higher since those are the versions for
which the PyConfig API is now being used by GDB. (The PyConfig API
includes different mechanisms for making the same settings afforded
by use of the soon-to-be deprecated global configuration variables.)
Simon also noted that PyConfig_Clear() would not have be called for
one of the failure paths. I've fixed that problem and also made the
rest of the "bail out" code more direct. In particular,
PyConfig_Clear() will always be called, both for success and failure.
The v3 patch addresses some rebase conflicts related to module
initialization . Commit 3acd9a692dd ("Make 'import gdb.events' work")
uses PyImport_ExtendInittab instead of PyImport_AppendInittab. That
commit also initializes a struct for each module to import. Both the
initialization and the call to were moved ahead of the ifdefs to avoid
having to replicate (at least some of) the code three times in various
portions of the ifdefs.
