We currently generate some validation code within the gdbarch getter methods. This commit adjusts the algorithm used to generate this validation slightly to make the gdbarch.py code (I think) clearer; there's no significant changes to what is generated. The validation algorithm for gdbarch values is now: - If the Value has an 'invalid' field that is a string, use that for validation, - If the Value has its 'predicate' field set to true, then check the predicate returns true, this ensures the predicate has been called, - If the Value has its 'invalid' field set to True, or the Value has 'postdefault' field, then check the fields has changed from its initial value, - Otherwise no validation is performed. The only changes after this commit are: - Some comments change slightly, and - For 'gcore_bfd_target' and 'max_insn_length' we now validate by calling the predicate rather than checking the field value directly, the underlying check being performed is unchanged though. There should be no user visible changes after this commit. Approved-By:

For some reason the following value components of gdbarch: bfloat16_format half_format float_format double_format long_double_format so_ops All use a postdefault but no predefault to set the default value for the component. As the postdefault values for these components are all constant pointers that don't depend on other fields within the gdbarch, then I don't see any reason why we couldn't use a predefault instead. So lets do that. Approved-By:

This commit ensures that the 'invalid' property of all components is either True, False, or a string. Additionally, this commit allows a component to have both a predicate and for the 'invalid' property to be a string. Removing the option for 'invalid' to be None allows us to simplify the algorithms in gdbarch.py a little. Allowing a component to have both a predicate and an 'invalid' string means that we can validate the value that a tdep sets into a field, but also allow a predicate to ensure that the field has changed from the default. This functionality isn't going to be used in this series, but I have tested it locally and believe that it would work, and this might make it easier for others to add new components in the future. In gdbarch_types.py, I've updated the type annotations to show that the 'invalid' field should not be None, and I've changed the default for this field from None to False. The change to using False as the default is temporary. Later in this series I'm going to change the default to True, but we need more fixes before that can be done. Additionally, in gdbarch_types.py I've removed an assert from Component.get_predicate. This assert ensured that we didn't have the predicate field set to True and the invalid field set to a string. However, no component currently uses this configuration, and after this commit, that combination is now supported, so the assert can be removed. As a consequence of the gdbarch_types.py changes we see some additional comments generated in gdbarch.c about verification being skipped due to the invalid field being False. This comment is inline with plenty of other getters that also have a similar comment. Plenty of the getters do have validation, so I think it is reasonable to have a comment noting that the validation has been skipped for a specific reason, rather than due to some bug. In gdbarch_components.py I've had to add 'invalid=True' for two components: gcore_bfd_target and max_insn_length, without this the validation in the gdbarch getter would disappear. And in gdbarch.py I've reworked the logic for generating the verify_gdbarch function, and for generating the getter functions. The logic for generating the getter functions is still not ideal, I ended up having to add this additional logic block: elif c.postdefault is not None and c.predefault is not None: print(" /* Check variable changed from pre-default. */", file=f) print(f" gdb_assert (gdbarch->{c.name} != {c.predefault});", file=f) which was needed to ensure we continued to generate the same code as before, without this the fact that invalid is now False when it would previously have been None, meant that we dropped the gdb_assert in favour of a comment like: print(f" /* Skip verify of {c.name}, invalid_p == 0 */", file=f) which is clearly not a good change. We could potentially look at improving this in a later commit, but I don't plan to do that in this series. Approved-By:

Restructure how gdbarch.py generates the verify_gdbarch function. Previously the postdefault handling was bundled together with the validation. This means that a field can't have both a postdefault, and set its invalid attribute to a string. This doesn't seem reasonable to me, I see no reason why a field can't have both a postdefault (used when the tdep doesn't set the field), and an invalid expression, which can be used to validate the value that a tdep might set. In this commit I restructure the verify_gdbarch generation code to allow the above, there is no change in the actual generated code in this commit, that will come in later commit. Approved-By:

Following on from the previous commit, this commit removes yet more 'invalid=True' lines from gdbarch_components.py where the invalid setting has no effect. Due to the algorithm used in gdbarch.py for generated verify_gdbarch, if a component has a postdefault value then no invalid check will ever be generated for the component, as such setting 'invalid=True' on the component is pointless. This commit removes the setting of invalid. There is no change in the generated code after this commit. Approved-By:

Due to the algorithm used to generate verify_gdbarch in gdbarch.py, if a component has a predicate, then a validation check will never be generated. There are a bunch of components that are declared with both a predicate AND have 'invalid=True' set. The 'invalid=True' has no effect. In this commit I clean things up by removing all these additional 'invalid=True' lines. There's no change in any of the generated files after this commit. Approved-By:

gdb 13.1 crashes while running the rust compiler's debugger tests. The crash has a number of causes. First, the rust compiler still uses the C++-like _Z mangling, but with its own twist -- some hex digits added to the end of a symbol. So, while gdb finds the correct name of "main": (top-gdb) p name $13 = 0x292e0c0 "rustc_gdb_1031745::main" It isn't found in the minsyms, because C++ demangling yields: [99] t 0x90c0 _ZN17rustc_gdb_10317454main17h5b5be7fe16a97225E section .text rustc_gdb_1031745::main::h5b5be7fe16a97225 zko06yobckx336v This could perhaps be fixed. I also filed a new PR to suggest preferring the linkage name of the main program. Next, the rust compiler emits both a DW_TAG_subprogram and a DW_TAG_namespace for "main". This happens because the file is named "main.rs" -- i.e., the bug is specific to the source file name. The crash also seems to require the nested function inside of 'main', at least for me. The namespace always is generated, but perhaps this changes the ordering in the DWARF. When inside_main_func looks up the main symbol, it finds the namespace symbol rather than the function. (I filed a bug about fixing gdb's symbol tables -- long overdue.) Meanwhile, as I think it's important to fix this crash sooner rather than later, this patch changes inside_main_func to check that the symbol that is found is LOC_BLOCK. This perhaps should have been done in the first place, anyway. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30158

Once in a while I find myself rewriting a TUI test-case into a non-TUI test-case, to better understand whether the problem I'm looking at is related to the TUI or not. I've got the impression that I've done this sufficiently often that it's worth committing the non-TUI version, so having just written a non-TUI version of gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp, let's commit it. The non-TUI version can be enabled by doing: ... $ make check "RUNTESTFLAGS=gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp USE_TUI=0" ... Also remove hard-coding of a source line number. Tested on x86_64-linux.

Linetables no longer change after they are created. This patch applies const to them. Note there is one hack to cast away const in mdebugread.c.

This changes linetables to not add the text offset to the addresses they contain. I did this in a few steps, necessarily combined together in one patch: I renamed the 'pc' member to 'm_pc', added the appropriate accessors, and then recompiled. Then I fixed all the errors. Where possible I generally chose to use the raw_pc accessor, as it is less expensive. Note that this patch discounts the possibility that the text section offset might cause wraparound in the addresses in the line table. However, this was already discounted -- in particular, objfile_relocate1 did not re-sort the table in this scenario. (There was a bug open about this, but as far as I can tell this has never happened, it's not even clear what inspired that bug.) Approved-By:

Some systems may install binutils headers into a system location (e.g. /usr/local/include on FreeBSD) which may also include headers for other external packages used by GDB such as zlib or zstd. If a system include path such as /usr/local/include is added before local include paths to directories within a clone or release tarball, then headers from the external binutils package are used which can result in build failures if the external binutils package is out of sync with the version of GDB being built. To fix, sort the include paths in INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE to add CFLAGS for "local" componenets before external components. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30214 Reviewed-By:
