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).
Move 'is_regular_file' from common-utils.c to filestuff.c
There is no reason for 'is_regular_file' to be in common-utils.c; it
belongs to 'filestuff.c'. This commit moves the function definition
and its prototype to the appropriate files.
The motivation behind this move is a failure that happens on certain
cross-compilation environments when compiling the IPA library, due to
the way gnulib probes the need for a 'stat' call replacement. Because
configure checks when cross-compiling are more limited, gnulib decides
that it needs to substitute the 'stat' calls its own 'rpl_stat';
however, the IPA library doesn't link with gnulib, which leads to an
error when compiling 'common-utils.c':
The most simple fix for this problem is to move 'is_regular_file' to
'filestuff.c', which is not used by IPA. This ends up making the
files more logically organized as well, since 'is_regular_file' is a
file operation.

Fix crash with empty Rust enum
While testing my Rust compiler patch to fix the DWARF representation
of Rust enums (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54004), I found
a gdb crash coming from one of the Rust test cases.
The bug here is that the new variant support in gdb does not handle
the case where there are no variants in the enum.
This patch fixes the problem in a straightforward way. Note that the
new tests are somewhat lax because I did not want to try to fully fix
this corner case for older compilers. If you think that's
unacceptable, let meknow.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28 using several versions of the Rust
compiler. I intend to push this to the 8.2 branch as well.

Split size in regset section iterators
In the existing code, when using the regset section iteration functions, the
size parameter is used in different ways.
With collect, size is used to create the buffer in which to write the regset.
(see linux-tdep.c::linux_collect_regset_section_cb).
With supply, size is used to confirm the existing regset is the correct size.
If REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE is set then the regset can be bigger than size.
Effectively, size is the minimum possible size of the regset.
(see corelow.c::get_core_register_section).
There are currently no targets with both REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE and a collect
function.
In SVE, a corefile can contain one of two formats after the header, both of
which are different sizes. However, when writing a core file, we always want
to write out the full bigger size.
To allow support of collects for REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE we need two sizes.
This is done by adding supply_size and collect_size.

randomization. The old disable_randomization global variable was

Introduce find_function_entry_range_from_pc and use it in infrun.c
An earlier version of this patch used the returned block in conjunction
with BLOCK_ENTRY_PC to set stop_func_start in fill_in_stop_func() in
infrun.c. While I think this was the correct thing to do, changes
to find_inferior_partial_function could potentially end up with
stop_func_end < stop_func_start, which is definitely wrong. For
this case, we want to set both stop_func_start and stop_func_end
to the start and end of the range containing the function's entry
pc.
I think that this functionality will be useful in many other places
too - it probably ought to be used in all of the various prologue
analyzers in GDB.
The change to infrun.c was simple: the call to
find_pc_partial_function was replaced with a call to
find_function_entry_range_from_pc. The difference between these two
functions is that find_pc_partial_entry_function will (potentially)
return the start and end address corresponding to the range in which
PC is found, but find_function_entry_range_from_pc will (again,
potentially) return the start and end address of the range containing
the entry pc. find_pc_partial_function has the property that
*ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR. This condition does not necessarily hold
for the outputs of find_function_entry_range_from_pc.
It should be noted that for functions which contain only a single
range, the outputs of find_pc_partial_function and
find_function_entry_range_from_pc are identical.
I think it might happen that find_function_entry_range_from_pc will come
to be used in place of many of the calls to find_pc_partial_function
within GDB. Care must be taken in making this change, however, since
some of this code depends on the *ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR property.
Finally, a note regarding the name: I had initially chosen a different
name with a find_pc_partial_ prefix, but Simon suggested the current
name citing the goal of eventually making naming consistent using
the form find_X_from_Y. In this case X is "function_entry_range" and
Y is "pc". Both the name and rationale made sense to me, so that's
how it came to be.

Add support for non-contiguous blocks to find_pc_partial_function
This change adds an optional output parameter BLOCK to
find_pc_partial_function. If BLOCK is non-null, then *BLOCK will be
set to the address of the block corresponding to the function symbol
if such a symbol was found during lookup. Otherwise it's set to the
NULL value. Callers may wish to use the block information to
determine whether the block contains any non-contiguous ranges. The
caller may also iterate over or examine those ranges.
When I first started looking at the broken stepping behavior associated
with functions w/ non-contiguous ranges, I found that I could "fix"
the problem by disabling the find_pc_partial_function cache. It would
sometimes happen that the PC passed in would be between the low and
high cache values, but would be in some other function that happens to
be placed in between the ranges for the cached function. This caused
incorrect values to be returned.
So dealing with this cache turns out to be very important for fixing
this problem. I explored three different ways of dealing with the
cache.
My first approach was to clear the cache when a block was encountered
with more than one range. This would cause the non-cache pathway to
be executed on the next call to find_pc_partial_function.
Another approach, which I suspect is slightly faster, checks to see
whether the PC is within one of the ranges associated with the cached
block. If so, then the cached values can be used. It falls back to
the original behavior if there is no cached block.
The current approach, suggested by Simon Marchi, is to restrict the
low/high pc values recorded for the cache to the beginning and end of
the range containing the PC value under consideration. This allows us
to retain the simple (and fast) test for determining whether the
memoized (cached) values apply to the PC passed to
find_pc_partial_function.
Another choice that had to be made regards setting *ADDRESS and
*ENDADDR. There are three possibilities which might make sense:
1) *ADDRESS and *ENDADDR represent the lowest and highest address
of the function.
2) *ADDRESS and *ENDADDR are set to the start and end address of
the range containing the entry pc.
3) *ADDRESS and *ENDADDR are set to the start and end address of
the range in which PC is found.
An earlier version of this patch implemented option #1. I found out
that it's not very useful though and, in fact, returns results that
are incorrect when used in the context of determining the start and
end of the function for doing prologue analysis. While debugging a
function in which the entry pc was in the second range (of a function
containing two non-contiguous ranges), I noticed that
amd64_skip_prologue called find_pc_partial_function - the returned
start address was set to the beginning of the first range. This is
incorrect for this function. What was also interesting was that this
first invocation of find_pc_partial_function correctly set the cache
for the PC on which it had been invoked, but a slightly later call
from skip_prologue_using_sal could not use this cached value because
it was now being used to lookup the very lowest address of the
function - which is in a range not containing the entry pc.
Option #2 is attractive as it would provide a desirable result
when used in the context of prologue analysis. However, many callers,
including some which do prologue analysis want the condition
*ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR to hold. This will not be the case when
find_pc_partial_function is called on a PC that's in a non-entry-pc
range. A later patch to this series adds
find_function_entry_range_from_pc as a wrapper of
find_pc_partial_function.
Option #3 causes the *ADDRESS <= PC < *ENDADDR property to hold. If
find_pc_partial_function is called with a PC that's within entry pc's
range, then it will correctly return the limits of that range. So, if
the result of a minsym search is passed to find_pc_partial_function
to find the limits, then correct results will be achieved. Returned
limits (for prologue analysis) won't be correct when PC is within some
other (non-entry-pc) range. I don't yet know how big of a problem
this might be; I'm guessing that it won't be a serious problem - if a
compiler generates functions which have non-contiguous ranges, then it
also probably generates DWARF2 CFI which makes a lot of the old
prologue analysis moot.
I've implemented option #3 for this version of the patch. I don't see
any regressions for x86-64. Moreover, I don't expect to see
regressions for other targets either simply because
find_pc_partial_function behaves the same as it did before for the
contiguous address range case. That said, there may be some
adjustments needed if GDB encounters a function requiring prologue
analysis which occupies non-contiguous ranges.

Record explicit block ranges from dwarf2read.c
This change sets BLOCK_RANGES for the block under consideration by
calling make_blockranges(). This action is performed in
dwarf2_record_block_ranges().
It should be noted that dwarf2_record_block_ranges() already does some
recording of the range via a call to record_block_range(). The ranges
recorded in that fashion end up in the address map associated with the
blockvector for the compilation unit's symtab. Given an address, the
addrmap provides a fast way of finding the block containing that
address. The address map does not, however, provide a convenient way
of determining which address ranges make up a particular block.
While reading a set of ranges, a vector of pairs is used to collect
the starting and ending addresses for each range in the block. Once
all of the ranges for a block have been collected, make_blockranges()
is called to fill in BLOCK_RANGES for the block.
The ranges are stored for the block in the order that they're read
from the debug info. For DWARF, the starting address of the first
range of the block will be the entry pc in cases where DW_AT_entry_pc
is not present. (Well, that would ideally be the case. At the moment
DW_AT_entry_pc is not being handled.)

Add block range data structure for blocks with non-contiguous address ranges
This patch does the following:
- Introduces a block range data structure which is accessed via
a new field in struct block.
- Defines several macros for accessing block ranges.
- Defines a new function, make_blockrange, which is responsible for
creating the new data structure.
It should be noted that some support for non-contiguous ranges already
existed in GDB in the form of blockvector addrmaps. This support
allowed GDB to quickly find a block containing a particular address
even when the block consists of non-contiguous addresses. See
find_block_in_blockvector() in block.c, dwarf2_record_block_ranges()
in dwarf2read.c, and record_block_range() in buildsym.c.
Addrmaps do not provide a convenient way to examine address ranges
associated with a particular block. This data structure (and its
interface) is set up for quickly finding the value (which in this case
is a block) associated with a particular address. The interface
does not include a method for doing a reverse mapping from blocks to
addresses. A linear time mapping might be attempted via use of the
addrmap's foreach method, but this is not as straightforward as it
might first appear due to the fact that blocks corresponding to inline
function instances and lexical blocks w/ variables end up getting
interspersed in in the set of transitions.
Note: If this approach is deemed to be too expensive in terms of
space, an alternate approach might be to attempt the linear time
mapping noted above. find_pc_partial_function() needs to be able to
quickly know whether there are discontiguous ranges, so a flag for
this property would have to be added to struct block. Also integral
to this set of changes is the concept of an "entry pc" which might be
different from the block's start address. An entry_pc field would
also need to be added to struct block. This does not result in any
space savings in struct block though since the space for the flag and
entry_pc use more space than the blockranges struct pointer that I've
added. There would, however, be some space savings due to the fact
that the new data structures that I've added for this patch would not
need to be allocated. (I happen to like the approach I've come up
with, but I wanted to mention another possibility just in case someone
does not.)

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

Darwin: fix bad loop incrementation
When reading symbols from the vector of oso files on Mac OS X
Darwin, a previous commit introduce a change in the loop and add
an increment at each loop iteration whereas this incrementation is
not needed since the increment or set of the loop control variable
is already done in the loop.

Set CU language before processing any DIEs (symtab/23010 et al)
This patch is another attempt at really fixing the multitude of assertions
being seen where symbols of one language are being added to symbol lists of
another language.
In this specific case, the backtrace command (thread apply all bt full) that
is looking for the compunit containing the PC of the thread. That calls
get_prev_frame several times. This function calls (eventually)
dwarf2_frame_prev_register. That eventually ends up calling
find_pc_compunit_symtab.
In this function (find_pc_sect_compunit_symtab actually), we loop over all
compunits, calling the "quick" function dw2_find_pc_sect_compunit_symtab.
That function calls dw2_instantiate_symtab to read in all the CU's symbols.
Now the fun begins.
dw2_do_instantiate_symtab queues the per_cu for reading, using a default
"pretend" language of language_minimal with the expectation that this will
be set later.
The DIEs of this (only queued) CU are then processed.
The first DIE is DW_TAG_compile_unit. That's handled by read_file_scope.
(Nearly) The first thing read_file_scope does is:
get_scope_pc_bounds (die, &lowpc, &highpc, cu);
This function loops over the children of the current DIE (a compile_unit),
looking for bounds. The first such child is a subprogram, and we attempt to
get its bounds. We use dwarf2_attr to get at DW_AT_high_pc.
This subprogram has DW_AT_specification set, so dwarf_attr (via
follow_die_ref/follow_die_offset) will follow that, but follow_die_offset
*also* attempts to load the containing CU for the spec DIE. That spec DIE
lives inside a CU that is a partial_unit and has no language attribute. So
it simply inherits the language from the CU that elicited the read. [That
all happens in follow_die_offset.]
The original CU's language is still language_minimal -- we haven't gotten to
the line in read_file_scope that actually sets the language yet!
And that is the cause of these problems. The call to prepare_one_comp_unit
needs to be the *first* thing that is done when reading a CU so that the
CU's language can be recorded (and inherited by any referenced
partial_units).
Since a test reproducer for this has been so elusive, this patch also adds a
wrapper function around add_symbol_to_list which asserts when adding a
symbol of one language to a list containing symbols of a different language.
