This patch started by removing the remaining calls to longest_to_int
from ada-lang.c, then chasing down the callees to make sure they were
also using LONGEST. This ended up with a small change to value_slice
as well.
PR ada/33217 points out that gdb incorrectly calls the <ctype.h>
functions. In particular, gdb feels free to pass a 'char' like:
char *str = ...;
... isdigit (*str)
This is incorrect as isdigit only accepts EOF and values that can be
represented as 'unsigned char' -- that is, a cast is needed here to
avoid undefined behavior when 'char' is signed and a character in the
string might be sign-extended. (As an aside, I think this API seems
obviously bad, but unfortunately this is what the standard says, and
some systems check this.)
Rather than adding casts everywhere, this changes all the code in gdb
that uses any <ctype.h> API to instead call the corresponding c-ctype
function.
Now, c-ctype has some limitations compared to <ctype.h>. It works as
if the C locale is in effect, so in theory some non-ASCII characters
may be misclassified. This would only affect a subset of character
sets, though, and in most places I think ASCII is sufficient -- for
example the many places in gdb that check for whitespace.
Furthermore, in practice most users are using UTF-8-based locales,
where these functions aren't really informative for non-ASCII
characters anyway; see the existing workarounds in gdb/c-support.h.
Note that safe-ctype.h cannot be used because it causes conflicts with
readline.h. And, we canot poison the <ctype.h> identifiers as this
provokes errors from some libstdc++ headers.

The enum address_class and related fields and methods seem misnamed to
me. Generalize it to "location_class". The enumerators in
address_class are already prefixed with LOC, so the new name seems
logical to me. Rename related fields and methods as well.
Plus, address_class could easily be mistaken for other unrelated things
named "address class" in GDB or DWARF.

This patch changes type::fields to return an array_view of the fields,
then fixes up the fallout.
More cleanups would be possible here (in particular in the field
initialization code) but I haven't done so.
The main motivation for this patch was to make it simpler to iterate
over the fields of a type.

Suppose a function returns a struct and a method of that struct is
called. E.g.:
struct S
{
int a;
int get () { return a; }
};
S f ()
{
S s;
s.a = 42;
return s;
}
...
int z = f().get();
...
GDB is able to evaluate the expression:
(gdb) print f().get()
$1 = 42
However, type-checking the expression fails:
(gdb) ptype f().get()
Attempt to take address of value not located in memory.
This happens because the `get` function takes an implicit `this`
pointer, which in this case is the value returned by `f()`, and GDB
wants to get an address for that value, as if passing the implicit
this pointer. However, during type-checking, the struct value
returned by `f()` is a `not_lval`.
A similar issue exists for union types, where methods called on
temporary union objects would fail type-checking in the same way.
Address the problems by handling `TYPE_CODE_STRUCT` and
`TYPE_CODE_UNION` in `evaluate_subexp_for_address_base`.
With this change, for struct's method call, we get
(gdb) ptype f().get()
type = int
Add new test cases to file gdb.cp/chained-calls.exp to test this change.
Regression-tested in X86-64 Linux.
Completing fields inside an anonymous struct does not work. With:
struct commit_counters_hot {
union {
struct {
long owner;
};
char padding[16];
};
};
I get:
(gdb) complete print cc_hot.
print cc_hot.padding
After this patch, I get:
(gdb) complete print cc_hot.
print cc_hot.owner
print cc_hot.padding
Update break1.c to include an anonymous struct. The tests that complete
"z_field" inside gdb.base/completion.exp would start to fail without the
fix.

There's currently code in gdb that checks if an expression evaluates
to a type. In some spots this is done by comparing the opcode against
OP_TYPE, but other spots more correctly also compare with OP_TYPEOF
and OP_DECLTYPE.
This patch cleans up this area, replacing opcode-checking with a new
method on 'operation'.
Generally, checking the opcode should be considered deprecated,
although it's unfortunately difficult to get rid of opcodes entirely.
I also took advantage of this change to turn eval_op_type into a
method, removing a bit of indirection.

Most calls to lookup_minimal_symbol don't pass a value for sfile and
objf. Make these parameters optional (have a default value of
nullptr). And since passing a value to `objf` is much more common than
passing a value to `sfile`, swap the order so `objf` comes first, to
avoid having to pass a nullptr value to `sfile` when wanting to pass a

Currently an internal function handler has this prototype:

"enum noside noside" parameter:
...
struct value *handler (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,

In case such a handler is called with noside == EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS, it's
expected to return some value with the correct return type.

throw an error.

Currently it's not possible to call user-defined function call

(gdb) p s(10)
Invalid data type for function to be called.
(gdb) p s.operator()(10)

This now looks if an user-defined call operator is available when
trying to 'call' a struct value, and calls it instead, making this
possible:
```
(gdb) p s(10)
$1 = 15
```
The change in operation::evaluate_funcall is to make sure the type
fields are only used for function types, only they use them as the
argument types.

I noticed a spot in ada-lang.c where the return value of
value_as_address was cast to CORE_ADDR -- a no-op cast. I searched
and found another. This patch fixes both.
In Ada, sometimes the compiler must emit array bounds by referencing
an artificial variable that's created for this purpose. However, with
optimization enabled, these variables can be optimized away.
Currently this can result in displays like:
(gdb) print mumble
$1 = (warning: unable to get bounds of array, assuming null array
)
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.
For Fortran pointers gfortran/ifx emits DW_TAG_pointer_types like
<2><17d>: Abbrev Number: 22 (DW_TAG_variable)
<180> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f1): fptr
<184> DW_AT_type : <0x214>
...
<1><219>: Abbrev Number: 27 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<21a> DW_AT_type : <0x10e>
<216> DW_AT_associated : ...
The 'pointer property' in Fortran is implicitly modeled by adding a
DW_AT_associated to the type of the variable (see also the
DW_AT_associated description in DWARF 5). A Fortran pointer is more
than an address and thus different from a C pointer. It is a
self contained type having additional fields such as, e.g., the rank of
its underlying array. This motivates the intended DWARF modeling of
Fortran pointers via the DW_AT_associated attribute.
This patch adds support for the sizeof intrinsic by simply dereferencing
pointer types when encountered during a sizeof evaluation.
The patch also adds a test for the sizeof intrinsic which was not tested
before.

Some functions related to the handling of registers in frames accept
"this frame", for which we want to read or write the register values,
while other functions accept "the next frame", which is the frame next
to that. The later is needed because we sometimes need to read register
values for a frame that does not exist yet (usually when trying to
unwind that frame-to-be).
value_of_register and value_of_register_lazy both take "this frame",
even if what they ultimately want internally is "the next frame". This
is annoying if you are in a spot that currently has "the next frame" and
need to call one of these functions (which happens later in this
series). You need to get the previous frame only for those functions to
get the next frame again. This is more manipulations, more chances of
mistake.
I propose to change these functions (and a few more functions in the
subsequent patches) to operate on "the next frame". Things become a bit
less awkward when all these functions agree on which frame they take.
So, in this patch, change value_of_register_lazy and value_of_register
to take "the next frame" instead of "this frame". This adds a lot of
get_next_frame_sentinel_okay, but if we convert the user registers API
to also use "the next frame" instead of "this frame", it will get simple
again.

Given that GDB now requires a C++17, replace all uses of
gdb::string_view with std::string_view.
This change has mostly been done automatically:
- gdb::string_view -> std::string_view
- #include "gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h" -> #include <string_view>
One things which got brought up during review is that gdb::stging_view
does support being built from "nullptr" while std::sting_view does not.
Two places are manually adjusted to account for this difference:
gdb/tui/tui-io.c:tui_getc_1 and
gdbsupport/format.h:format_piece::format_piece.
The above automatic change transformed
"gdb::to_string (const gdb::string_view &)" into
"gdb::to_string (const std::string_view &)". The various direct users
of this function are now explicitly including
"gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h". A later patch will remove the users of
gdb::to_string.
The implementation and tests of gdb::string_view are unchanged, they will
