The compunit symtab backlink of a symtab is never null (the constructor
asserts it), so make symtab::compunit return a reference instead of a
pointer, and have the symtab constructor take the compunit_symtab as a
reference too. Update all callers accordingly.
This came up earlier in review, where a caller would check the result of
`symtab->compunit ()` for nullptr, and I pointed out that it was
unnecessary. Returning a reference makes this clear.

All of our custom Python types are created as structs, like this:
struct some_new_type : public PyObject
{
... various fields ...
};
Then instances of this struct are created by calling PyObject_New,
either directly within GDB's C++ code, or within Python when a user's
Python script creates an instance of that class.
The problem is that Python is written in C, and PyObject_New doesn't
call any constructors for `some_new_type`, nor for any of the fields
within `some_new_type`.
If `some_new_type` is Plain Old Data (POD), then this is fine. Or, to
be more C++ specific, if `some_new_type` is trivially default
constructable, then we're fine.
But if a field within `some_new_type` has a non-trivial constructor,
then we're in trouble as that constructor will never be run.
An example of a problematic field type is frame_info_ptr. The
constructor for this type registers the new object with a central
management object, recording the `this` pointer, using this type within
`some_new_type` will not work as expected; frame invalidation will not
show up within the frame_info_ptr as you might expect.
And so, this type trait exists. Whenever a struct is created to define
a new Python type we should add a line like:
static_assert (gdb::is_python_allocatable_v<some_new_type>);
This will fail if any field of `some_new_type` are unsuitable for this
use.
We don't actually check is_trivially_default_constructible here. Some
types, e.g. ui_file_style::color, have non-trivial (or no default)
constructors, but are still safe to use within `some_new_type` because
their constructors just initialise data fields; there's nothing
"special" that the constructor does that cannot be achieved by
assigning the fields after creation with PyObject_New.
What actually matters is that the type is trivially destructible
(Python won't call C++ destructors, so destructors with side effects,
like deregistering from a list, would be skipped) and trivially
copyable (Python may copy objects with memcpy). Types like
frame_info_ptr, whose constructors and destructors have side effects
such as registering with a central management object, will be caught
because they are neither trivially destructible nor trivially copyable.
Simple POD types like ui_file_style are trivially destructible and
copyable, so pass this trait.
This commit adds the new type trait, and makes use of it in all cases
but one, pending_frame_object in python/py-unwind.c, has a field of
type frame_info_ptr, which is currently broken. This will be fixed,
and the static_assert added, in the next commit.

Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34145
This commit adds a new method gdb.Symtab.source_lines. This method
can be used to read the lines from a symtab's source file. This is
similar to GDB's internal source_cache::get_source_lines function.
Currently using the Python API, if a user wants to display source
lines then they need to use Symtab.fullname() to get the source file
name, then open this file and parse out the lines themselves.
This isn't too much effort, but the problem is that these lines will
not be styled. The user could style the source content themselves,
but will this be styled exactly as GDB would style it?
The new Symtab.source_lines() method returns source lines with styling
included (as ANSI terminal escape sequences), assuming of course, that
styling is currently enabled.
Of course, in some cases, a user of the Python API might want source
code without styling. That's supported too, the new method has an
'unstyled' argument. If this is True then the output is forced to be
unstyled. The argument is named 'unstyled' rather than 'styled'
because the API call cannot force styling on. If 'set style enabled
off' is in effect then making the API call will never return styled
source lines.
The new API call allows for a range of lines to be requested if
desired.
As part of this commit I've updated the host_string_to_python_string
utility function to take a std::string_view.

When enabling the Python limited API, pointers to Python C extension
objects can no longer be implicitly converted to 'PyObject *' by the
compiler.
The lookup() method of gbdpy_registry returns a new reference to the
type object of the looked-up entry. It does so by calling Py_XINCREF()
to increment the reference counter of the returned type object. The
template parameter obj_type corresponds to the type of C extension
object type. With the Python limited API enabled, obj_type can no longer
be implicitly converted to 'PyObject *' when passed to Py_XINCREF().
This patch fixes the resulting compilation issue by adding an explicit
static_cast to 'PyObject *' before passing the value to Py_XINCREF().
As a side effect, this cast enforces, at compile time, that the template
type 'Storage::obj_type' passed to gdbpy_registry is a subclass of
PyObject. To provide a clearer diagnostic when an incorrect type is used,
a static_assert is added to gdbpy_registry, avoiding obscure errors
originating from the static_cast. Finally, the relevant C extension types
passed to gdbpy_registry are updated to inherit publicly from PyObject.

This updates the copyright headers to include 2026. I did this by

The GCC plugin that implements the Python API checker does not appear

worked for C++ code anyway. Considering those factors, and that no
one has tried to run it in years, I think it's time to remove the

Previous commit changed symtab_to_symtab_object() so each time it is
called with particula struct symtab* it returns the same object.
Therefore there's no longer need to hold on symtab object (gdb.Symtab)
from struct sal_object in order to preserve identity of Symtab object
held in gdb.Symtab_and_line.symtab property. This in turn allowed for
some simplification in various functions.

This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new helper function that
both readies the type and then adds it to the appropriate module. The

Currently, when we add a new python sub-system to GDB,
e.g. py-inferior.c, we end up having to create a new function like
gdbpy_initialize_inferior, which then has to be called from the
function do_start_initialization in python.c.
In some cases (py-micmd.c and py-tui.c), we have two functions
gdbpy_initialize_*, and gdbpy_finalize_*, with the second being called
from finalize_python which is also in python.c.
This commit proposes a mechanism to manage these initialization and
finalization calls, this means that adding a new Python subsystem will
no longer require changes to python.c or python-internal.h, instead,
the initialization and finalization functions will be registered
directly from the sub-system file, e.g. py-inferior.c, or py-micmd.c.
The initialization and finalization functions are managed through a
new class gdbpy_initialize_file in python-internal.h. This class
contains a single global vector of all the initialization and
finalization functions.
In each Python sub-system we create a new gdbpy_initialize_file
object, the object constructor takes care of registering the two
callback functions.
Now from python.c we can call static functions on the
gdbpy_initialize_file class which take care of walking the callback
list and invoking each callback in turn.
To slightly simplify the Python sub-system files I added a new macro
GDBPY_INITIALIZE_FILE, which hides the need to create an object. We
can now just do this:
GDBPY_INITIALIZE_FILE (gdbpy_initialize_registers);
One possible problem with this change is that there is now no
guaranteed ordering of how the various sub-systems are initialized (or
finalized). To try and avoid dependencies creeping in I have added a
use of the environment variable GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS, this is
the same environment variable used in the generated init.c file.
Just like with init.c, when this environment variable is set we
reverse the list of Python initialization (and finalization)
functions. As there is already a test that starts GDB with the
environment variable set then this should offer some level of
protection against dependencies creeping in - though for full
protection I guess we'd need to run all gdb.python/*.exp tests with
the variable set.
I have tested this patch with the environment variable set, and saw no
regressions, so I think we are fine right now.
One other change of note was for gdbpy_initialize_gdb_readline, this
function previously returned void. In order to make this function
have the correct signature I've updated its return type to int, and we
now return 0 to indicate success.
All of the other initialize (and finalize) functions have been made
static within their respective sub-system files.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
This rewrites registry.h, removing all the macros and replacing it
with relatively ordinary template classes. The result is less code
than the previous setup. It replaces large macros with a relatively
straightforward C++ class, and now manages its own cleanup.
The existing type-safe "key" class is replaced with the equivalent
template class. This approach ended up requiring relatively few
changes to the users of the registry code in gdb -- code using the key
system just required a small change to the key's declaration.
All existing users of the old C-like API are now converted to use the
type-safe API. This mostly involved changing explicit deletion
functions to be an operator() in a deleter class.
The old "save/free" two-phase process is removed, and replaced with a
single "free" phase. No existing code used both phases.
The old "free" callbacks took a parameter for the enclosing container
object. However, this wasn't truly needed and is removed here as
well.
Replace with calls to blockvector::blocks, and the appropriate method
call on the returned array_view.

Same idea as previous patch, but for symtab::objfile. I find
it clearer without this wrapper, as it shows that the objfile is

py-ref.h can really only be included from a specific spot in
python-internal.h. The other includes are not useful, and cause
compilation errors if the includes are ever sorted. So, remove these
includes.
Arguably, py-ref.h should simply not be a separate header.

py-symtab.c has some questionable casts of Py_None to symtab_object*.
This patch avoids these casts by instead using downcasts at the
appropriate places.

This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This changes the Python code to remove some more calls to xfree, in
favor of self-managing data structures.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28.

Unfortunately, PyGetSetDef's 'name' and 'doc' members are 'char *'
instead of 'const char *', meaning that in order to list-initialize
PyGetSetDef arrays using string literals requires writing explicit
'char *' casts. For example:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
- { "address", valpy_get_address, NULL, "The address of the value.",
+ { (char *) "address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
+ (char *) "The address of the value.",
NULL },
- { "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
+ { (char *) "is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is optimized "
"out (i.e., not available).",
NULL },
- { "type", valpy_get_type, NULL, "Type of the value.", NULL },
- { "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
- "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
- { "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
- "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
+ { (char *) "type", valpy_get_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "dynamic_type", valpy_get_dynamic_type, NULL,
+ (char *) "Dynamic type of the value.", NULL },
+ { (char *) "is_lazy", valpy_get_is_lazy, NULL,
+ (char *) "Boolean telling whether the value is lazy (not fetched yet\n\
from the inferior). A lazy value is fetched when needed, or when\n\
the \"fetch_lazy()\" method is called.", NULL },
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
We have ~20 such arrays, and I first wrote a patch that fixed all of
them like that... It's not pretty...
One way to make these a bit less ugly would be add a new macro that
hides the casts, like:
#define GDBPY_GSDEF(NAME, GET, SET, DOC, CLOSURE) \
{ (char *) NAME, GET, SET, (char *) DOC, CLOSURE }
and then use it like:
static PyGetSetDef value_object_getset[] = {
GDBPY_GSDEF ("address", valpy_get_address, NULL,
"The address of the value.", NULL),
GDBPY_GSDEF ("is_optimized_out", valpy_get_is_optimized_out, NULL,
"Boolean telling whether the value is optimized ", NULL),
{NULL} /* Sentinel */
};
But since we have C++11, which gives us constexpr and list
initialization, I thought of a way that requires no changes where the
arrays are initialized:
We add a new type that extends PyGetSetDef (called gdb_PyGetSetDef),
and add constexpr constructors that accept const 'name' and 'doc', and
then list/aggregate initialization simply "calls" these matching
constructors instead.
I put "calls" in quotes, because given "constexpr", it's all done at
compile time, and there's no overhead either in binary size or at run
time. In fact, we get identical binaries, before/after this change.
Unlike the fixes that fix some old Python API to match the API of more
recent Python, this switches to using explicit "gdb_PyGetSetDef"
everywhere, just to be clear that we are using our own version of it.
