157da75362 Handle dynamic DW_AT_bit_size
gnat-llvm will sometimes emit a structure that that uses
DW_AT_bit_size with an expression to compute the bit size of a record.
I believe this is a DWARF extension.  This patch implements support
for this in gdb.

a5cbe67512 gdb, gdbserver, gdbsupport: trim trailing whitespaces
I noticed my IDE (VSCode) starting to automatically trim trailing
whitespaces on save, despite the setting for it being disabled.  I
realized that this is because the .editorconfig file now has

    trim_trailing_whitespace = true

for many file types.  If we have this EditorConfig setting forcing
editors to trim trailing whitespaces, I think it would make sense to
clean up trailing whitespaces from our files.  Otherwise, people will
always get spurious whitespace changes when editing these files.

I did a mass cleanup using this command:

$ find gdb gdbserver gdbsupport -type f \( \
    -name "*.c" -o \
    -name "*.h" -o \
    -name "*.cc" -o \
    -name "*.texi" -o \

    -name "*.F90" -o \
    -name "*.f90" \
\) -exec sed -ri 's/[ \t]+$//' {} +

I then did an autotools regen, because we don't actually want to change
the Makefile and Makefile.in files that are generated.

5aff891135 gdb: introduce new function create_function_type
While working on new Python API to create new function types I realized
that there's no easy way to create a new function type and control where
it is going to be allocated (whether in gdbarch's obstack or objfile's).
Functions lookup_function_type and lookup_function_type_with_arguments
always allocate at the same obstack as its return type.

This is not sufficient for the new Python API - the user may use any
type it can get hold of. For example, one may want to create a function
returning arch-owned type and taking one argument of objfile-owned type.
In that case we need to allocate the new type on that very objfile's
obstack.

This commit introduces new function - create_function_type - that takes
type_allocator as first parameter, allowing caller to control the
allocation. Existing functions (lookup_function_type and
lookup_function_type_with_arguments) are reimplemented by means of new
create_function_type.

48b5669c2e Ignore artificial fields in Ada
A user found an unusual Ada situation that DWARF does not readily
support.  Consider this type:

   type Discrete_Typ is tagged null record;
   type Int_Typ (Is_Static : Boolean) is new Discrete_Typ with null record;

   type Signed_Int_Typ (Is_Static : Boolean) is
      new Int_Typ (Is_Static => Is_Static)
                    with record
      case Is_Static is
         when True =>
            Field : Integer;
         when others =>
            null;
      end case;
   end record;

Here, Signed_Int_Typ has a variant part where the discriminant is
stored in a superclass.

Anyway, this code caused gnat-llvm to crash.  While fixing the crash,
I decided to fix this by emitting an anonymous field in Signed_Int_Typ
that represents the discriminant.  This would allow member DIEs to
refer to it -- which I suppose is possibly why DWARF specified that
the discriminant should be a member of the variant (though I don't
really know; this decision always seemed very strange to me).

Making the field anonymous lead to the strange error:

    Type ... is not a structure or union type.

... which comes from lookup_struct_elt, which fails when an anonymous
member of a structure has a non-composite type.  This patch includes a
fix for this issue.

After fixing that, though I decided it would be better if the
artificial discriminant were still given a name.  So, this patch
includes a change to ada_is_ignored_field to ignore artificial fields.

5fe70629ce Change file initialization to use INIT_GDB_FILE macro
This patch introduces a new macro, INIT_GDB_FILE.  This is used to
replace the current "_initialize_" idiom when introducing a per-file
initialization function.  That is, rather than write:

    void _initialize_something ();
    void
    _initialize_something ()
    {
       ...
    }

... now you would write:

    INIT_GDB_FILE (something)
    {
       ...
    }

The macro handles both the declaration and definition of the function.

The point of this approach is that it makes it harder to accidentally
cause an initializer to be omitted; see commit 2711e475 ("Ensure
cooked_index_entry self-tests are run").  Specifically, the regexp now
used by make-init-c seems harder to trick.

New in v2: un-did some erroneous changes made by the script.

The bulk of this patch was written by script.

4b42385c47 gdb: Make dwarf support optional at compile time
This commit allows a user to enable or disable dwarf support at
compilation time. To do that, a new configure option is introduced, in
the form of --enable-gdb-dwarf-support (and the accompanying --disable
version). By default, dwarf support is enabled, so no behavior changes
occur if a user doesn't use the new feature. If support is disabled, no
.c files inside the dwarf2/ subfolder will be compiled into the final
binary.

To achieve this, this commit also introduces the new macro
DWARF_FORMAT_AVAILABLE, which guards the definitions of functions
exported from the dwarf reader. If the macro is not defined, there are a
couple behaviors that exported functions may have:
* no-ops: several functions are used to register things at
  initialization time, like unwinders. These are turned into no-ops
  because the user hasn't attempted to read DWARF yet, there's no point
  in warning that DWARF is unavailable.
* warnings: similar to the previous commit, if dwarf would be read or
  used, the funciton will emit the warning "No dwarf support available."
* throw exceptions: If the code that calls a function expects an
  exceptin in case of errors, and has a try-catch block, an error with
  the previous message is thrown.

I believe that the changed functions should probalby be moved to the
dwarf2/public.h header, but that require a much larger refactor, so it
is left as a future improvement.

Finally, the --enable-gdb-compile configure option has been slightly
changed, since compile requires dwarf support. If compile was requested
and dwarf was disabled, configure will throw an error. If the option was
not used, support will follow what was requested for dwarf (warning the
user of what is decided).

692252c4b0 Handle dynamic DW_AT_data_bit_offset
In Ada, a field can have a dynamic bit offset in its enclosing record.

In DWARF 3, this was handled using a dynamic
DW_AT_data_member_location, combined with a DW_AT_bit_offset -- this
combination worked out ok because in practice GNAT only needs a
dynamic byte offset with a fixed offset within the byte.

However, this approach was deprecated in DWARF 4 and then removed in
DWARF 5.  No replacement approach was given, meaning that in strict
mode there is no way to express this.

This is a DWARF bug, see

    https://dwarfstd.org/issues/250501.1.html

In a discussion on the DWARF mailing list, a couple people mentioned
that compilers could use the obvious extension of a dynamic
DW_AT_data_bit_offset.  I've implemented this for LLVM:

    https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/141106

In preparation for that landing, this patch implements support for
this construct in gdb.

New in v2: renamed some constants and added a helper method, per
Simon's review.

New in v3: more renamings.

420d030e88 Handle field with dynamic bit offset
I discovered that GCC emitted incorrect DWARF for the test case
included in this patch.  Eric wrote a fix for GCC, but then he found
that gdb crashed on the resulting file.

This test has a field that is at a non-constant bit offset from the
start of the type.  DWARF 5 does not allow for this situation (I've
sent a report to the DWARF list), but DWARF 3 did allow for this via a
combination of an expression for the byte offset and then the use of
DW_AT_bit_offset.  This looks like:

 <5><117a>: Abbrev Number: 17 (DW_TAG_member)
    <117b>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x1959): another_field
...
    <1188>   DW_AT_bit_offset  : 6
    <1189>   DW_AT_data_member_location: 6 byte block: 99 3d 1 0 0 22 	(DW_OP_call4: <0x1193>; DW_OP_plus)
...
 <3><1193>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure)
    <1194>   DW_AT_location    : 15 byte block: 97 94 1 37 1a 32 1e 23 7 38 1b 31 1c 23 3 	(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_deref_size: 1; DW_OP_lit7; DW_OP_and; DW_OP_lit2; DW_OP_mul; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 7; DW_OP_lit8; DW_OP_div; DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_minus; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 3)

Now, that combination is not fully general, in that the bit offset
must be a constant -- only the byte offset may really vary.  However,
I couldn't come up with a situation where full generality is needed,
mainly because GNAT won't seem to pack fields into the padding of a
variable-length array.

Meanwhile, the reason for the gdb crash is that the code handling
DW_AT_bit_offset assumes that the byte offset is a constant.  This
causes an assertion failure.

This patch arranges for DW_AT_bit_offset to be applied during field
resolution, when needed.

ba005d32b0 Handle dynamic field properties
I found a situation where gdb could not properly decode an Ada type.
In this first scenario, the discriminant of a type is a bit-field.
PROP_ADDR_OFFSET does not handle this situation, because it only
allows an offset -- not a bit-size.

My original approach to this just added a bit size as well, but after
some discussion with Eric Botcazou, we found another failing case: a
tagged type can have a second discriminant that appears at a variable
offset.

So, this patch changes this code to accept a general 'struct field'
instead of trying to replicate the field-finding machinery by itself.

This is handled at property-evaluation time by simply using a 'field'
and resolving its dynamic properties.  Then the usual field-extraction
function is called to get the value.

Because the baton now just holds a field, I renamed PROP_ADDR_OFFSET
to PROP_FIELD.

The DWARF reader now defers filling in the property baton until the
fields have been attached to the type.

Finally, I noticed that if the discriminant field has a biased
representation, then unpack_field_as_long would not handle this
either.  This bug is also fixed here, and the test case checks this.

800f6f5f70 Add resolve_dynamic_field
The final patch in this series will change one dynamic property
approach to use a struct field rather than an offset and a field type.
This is convenient because the reference in DWARF is indeed to a field
-- and this approach lets us reuse the field-extraction logic that
already exists in gdb.

However, the field in question may have dynamic properties which must
be resolved before it can be used.  This patch prepares for this by
introducing a separate resolve_dynamic_field function.

This patch should cause no visible changes to behavior.

This changes most places to use a const property_addr_info.  This

already take a const object, and for a subsequent patch it is

b0fdcd4706 fortran: Fix arrays of variable length strings for FORTRAN
Before this change resolve_dynamic_array_or_string was called for
all TYPE_CODE_ARRAY and TYPE_CODE_STRING types, but, in the end,
this function always called create_array_type_with_stride, which
creates a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY type.

Suppose we have

subroutine vla_array (arr1, arr2)
  character (len=*):: arr1 (:)
  character (len=5):: arr2 (:)

  print *, arr1 ! break-here
  print *, arr2
end subroutine vla_array

The "print arr1" and "print arr2" command at the "break-here" line
gives the following output:

(gdb) print arr1
$1 = <incomplete type>
(gdb) print arr2
$2 = ('abcde', 'abcde', 'abcde')
(gdb) ptype arr1
type = Type
End Type
(gdb) ptype arr2
type = character*5 (3)

Dwarf info using Intel® Fortran Compiler for such case contains following:
 <1><fd>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_string_type)
    <fe>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0xd2): .str.ARR1
    <102>   DW_AT_string_length: 3 byte block: 97 23 8 (DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 8)

After this change resolve_dynamic_array_or_string now calls
create_array_type_with_stride or create_string_type, so if the
incoming dynamic type is a TYPE_CODE_STRING then we'll get back a
TYPE_CODE_STRING type.  Now gdb shows following:

(gdb) p arr1
$1 = ('abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij', 'abddefghij')
(gdb) p arr2
$2 = ('abcde', 'abcde', 'abcde')
(gdb) ptype arr1
type = character*10 (5)
(gdb) ptype arr2
type = character*5 (3)

In case of GFortran, compiler emits DW_TAG_structure_type for string type
arguments of the subroutine and it has only DW_AT_declaration tag.  This
results in <incomplete type> in gdb.  So, following issue is raised in gcc
bugzilla "https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101826".

Fixing above issue introduce regression in gdb.fortran/mixed-lang-stack.exp,
i.e. the test forces the language to C/C++ and print a Fortran string value.
The string value is a dynamic type with code TYPE_CODE_STRING.

Before this commit the dynamic type resolution would always convert this to
a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY of characters, which the C value printing could handle.

But now after this commit we get a TYPE_CODE_STRING, which
neither the C value printing, or the generic value printing code can
support.  And so, I've added support for TYPE_CODE_STRING to the generic
value printing, all characters of strings are printed together till the
first null character.

Lastly, in gdb.opt/fortran-string.exp and gdb.fortran/string-types.exp
tests it expects type of character array in 'character (3)' format but now
after this change we get 'character*3', so tests are updated accordingly.

105470cd79 Fix comparison of array types
Currently it's not possible to call functions if an argument is a
pointer to an array:
```
(gdb) l f
1       int f (int (*x)[2])
2       {
3         return x[0][1];
4       }

7       {
8         int a[2][2] = {{0, 1}, {2, 3}};
9         return f (a);
10      }
(gdb) p f(a)
Cannot resolve function f to any overloaded instance
```

This happens because types_equal doesn't handle array types, so the
function is never even considered as a possibility.

With array type handling added, by comparing element types and array
bounds, the same works:
```
(gdb) p f(a)
$1 = 1
```

3a3f1548fa Special case NULL pointers in dynamic type resolution
commit f18fc7e5 ("gdb, types: Resolve pointer types dynamically")
caused a regression on a test case in the AdaCore internal test suite.

The issue here is that gdb would try to resolve the type of a dynamic
pointer that happened to be NULL.  In this case, the "Location address
is not set." error would end up being thrown from the DWARF expression
evaluator.

I think it makes more sense to special-case NULL pointers and not try
to resolve their target type, as that type can't really be accessed
anyway.

This patch implements this idea, and also adds the missing Ada test
case.

    )

This patch changes this to report that the array is optimized-out,
instead, which is closer to the truth, and more generally useful.  For
example, Python pretty-printers can now recognize this situation.

In order to accomplish this, I introduced a new PROP_OPTIMIZED_OUT
enumerator and changed one place to use it.  Reusing the "unknown"
state wouldn't work properly, because in C it is normal for array
bounds to be unknown.

f18fc7e56f gdb, types: Resolve pointer types dynamically
This commit allows pointers to be dynamic types (on the outmost
level).  Similar to references, a pointer is considered a dynamic type
if its target type is a dynamic type and it is on the outmost level.
Also this commit removes the redundant code inside function
"value_check_printable" for handling of DW_AT_associated type.

The pointer resolution follows the one of references.

This change generally makes the GDB output more verbose.  We are able to
print more details about a pointer's target like the dimension of an array.

In Fortran, if we have a pointer to a dynamic type

  type buffer
    real, dimension(:), pointer :: ptr
  end type buffer
  type(buffer), pointer :: buffer_ptr
  allocate (buffer_ptr)
  allocate (buffer_ptr%ptr (5))

which then gets allocated, we now resolve the dynamic type before
printing the pointer's type:

Before:

  (gdb) ptype buffer_ptr
  type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer
    real(kind=4) :: alpha(:)
  End Type buffer )

After:

  (gdb) ptype buffer_ptr
  type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer
    real(kind=4) :: alpha(5)
  End Type buffer )

Similarly in C++ we can dynamically resolve e.g. pointers to arrays:

  int len = 3;
  int arr[len];
  int (*ptr)[len];
  int ptr = &arr;

Once the pointer is assigned one gets:

Before:

  (gdb) p ptr
  $1 = (int (*)[variable length]) 0x123456
  (gdb) ptype ptr
  type = int (*)[variable length]

After:

  (gdb) p ptr
  $1 = (int (*)[3]) 0x123456
  (gdb) ptype ptr
  type = int (*)[3]

For more examples see the modified/added test cases.

974b36c2ae Use the new symbol domains
This patch changes the DWARF reader to use the new symbol domains.  It
also adjusts many bits of associated code to adapt to this change.

The non-DWARF readers are updated on a best-effort basis.  This is
somewhat simpler since most of them only support C and C++.  I have no
way to test a few of these.

I went back and forth a few times on how to handle the "tag"
situation.  The basic problem is that C has a special namespace for
tags, which is separate from the type namespace.  Other languages
don't do this.  So, the question is, should a DW_TAG_structure_type
end up in the tag domain, or the type domain, or should it be
language-dependent?

I settled on making it language-dependent using a thought experiment.
Suppose there was a Rust compiler that only emitted nameless
DW_TAG_structure_type objects, and specified all structure type names
using DW_TAG_typedef.  This DWARF would be correct, in that it
faithfully represents the source language -- but would not work with a
purely struct-domain implementation in gdb.  Therefore gdb would be
wrong.

Now, this approach is a little tricky for C++, which uses tags but
also enters a typedef for them.  I notice that some other readers --
like stabsread -- actually emit a typedef symbol as well.  And, I
think this is a reasonable approach.  It uses more memory, but it
makes the internals simpler.  However, DWARF never did this for
whatever reason, and so in the interest of keeping the series slightly
shorter, I've left some C++-specific hacks in place here.

Note that this patch includes language_minimal as a language that uses
tags.  I did this to avoid regressing gdb.dwarf2/debug-names-tu.exp,
which doesn't specify the language for a type unit.  Arguably this
test case is wrong.

ccf41c2487 Use domain_search_flags in lookup_symbol et al
This changes lookup_symbol and associated APIs to accept
domain_search_flags rather than a domain_enum.

Note that this introduces some new constants to Python and Guile.  I
chose to break out the documentation patch for this, because the
internals here do not change until a later patch, and it seemed
simpler to patch the docs just once, rather than twice.

1d506c26d9 Update copyright year range in header of all files managed by GDB
This commit is the result of the following actions:

  - Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
    include 2024,

  - Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
    update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
    file,

  - Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
    date,

  - Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023.  If
    these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
    updated them this year to 2024.

I'm sure I've probably missed some dates.  Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.

1d2f86b6b7 Allow calling of variadic C++ functions
Currently, it's not possible to call a variadic C++ function:
```
(gdb) print sum_vararg_int(1, 10)
Cannot resolve function sum_vararg_int to any overloaded instance
(gdb) print sum_vararg_int(2, 20, 30)
Cannot resolve function sum_vararg_int to any overloaded instance
```

It's because all additional arguments get the TOO_FEW_PARAMS_BADNESS
rank by rank_function, which disqualifies the function.

To fix this, I've created the new VARARG_BADNESS rank, which is
used only for additional arguments of variadic functions, allowing
them to be called:
```
(gdb) print sum_vararg_int(1, 10)
$1 = 10
(gdb) print sum_vararg_int(2, 20, 30)
$2 = 50
```

This changes gdb to use the C++17 [[fallthrough]] attribute rather

This was mostly done by script, but I neglected a few spellings and so

I suspect this fixes the bug mentioned below, by switching to a

61461a5b41 Remove byte vectors from cplus_struct_type
This removes some byte vectors from cplus_struct_type, moving the
information into bitfields in holes in struct field.

A new 'enum accessibility' is added to hold some of this information.
A similar enum is removed from c-varobj.c.

Note that the stabs reader treats "ignored" as an accessibility.
However, the stabs texinfo documents this as a public field that is
optimized out -- unfortunately nobody has updated the stabs reader to
use the better value-based optimized-out machinery.  I looked and
apparently gcc never emitted this visibility value, so whatever
compiler generated this stab is unknown.  I left a comment in
gdbtypes.h to this effect.

Since GDB now requires C++17, we don't need the internally maintained
gdb::optional implementation.  This patch does the following replacing:
  - gdb::optional -> std::optional
  - gdb::in_place -> std::in_place
  - #include "gdbsupport/gdb_optional.h" -> #include <optional>

This change has mostly been done automatically.  One exception is
gdbsupport/thread-pool.* which did not use the gdb:: prefix as it
already lives in the gdb namespace.

This patch also reimplements type::is_array_like to use the type's

turn lets us change the Python implementation of these methods to
simply defer to the type.
