GDB is currently using the Python unlimited API. Migrating the codebase
to the Python limited API would have for benefit to make a GDB build
artifacts compatible with older and newer versions of Python that they
were built with.
This patch prepares the ground for migrating the existing C extension
types from static types to heap-allocated ones, by removing the
dependency on tp_dictoffset, which is unavailable when using the limited
API.
One of the most common incompatibilities in the current static type
declarations is the tp_dictoffset slot, which specifies the dictionary
offset within the instance structure. Historically, the unlimited
API has provided two approaches to supply a dictionary for __dict__:
* A managed dictionary.
Setting Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT in tp_flags indicates that the
instances of the type have a __dict__ attribute, and that the
dictionary is managed by Python.
According to the Python documentation, this is the recommended approach.
However, this flag was introduced in 3.12, together with
PyObject_VisitManagedDict() and PyObject_ClearManagedDict(), neither
of which is part of the limited API (at least for now). As a result,
this recommended approach is not viable in the context of the limited
API.
* An instance dictionary, for which the offset in the instance is
provided via tp_dictoffset.
According to the Python documentation, this "tp slot" is on the
deprecation path, and Py_TPFLAGS_MANAGED_DICT should be used instead.
Given the age of the GDB codebase and the requirement to support older
Python versions (>= 3.4), no need to argue that today, the implementation
of __dict__ relies on tp_dictoffset. However, in the context of the
limited API, PyType_Slot does not provide a Py_tp_dictoffset member, so
another approach is needed to provide __dict__ to instances of C extension
types.
Given the constraints of the limited API, the proposed solution consists
in providing a dictionary through a common base class, gdbpy__dict__wrapper.
This helper class owns a dictionary member corresponding to __dict__, and
any C extension type requiring a __dict__ must inherit from it. Since
extension object must also be convertible to PyObject, this wrapper class
publicly inherits from PyObject as well.
Access to the dictionary is provided via a custom getter defined in a
PyGetSetDef, similarily to what was previously done with gdb_py_generic_dict().
Because __dict__ participates in attribute look-up, and since this dictionary
is neither managed by Python nor exposed via tp_dictoffset, custom
implementations of tp_getattro and tp_setattro are required to correctly
redirect attribute look-ups to the dictionary. These custom implementations
— equivalent to PyObject_GenericGetAttr() and PyObject_GenericSetAttr() —
must be installed via tp_getattro / tp_setattro for static types, or
Py_tp_getattro / Py_tp_setattro for heap-allocated types.
- gdbpy__dict__wrapper: a base class for C extension objects that own a
__dict__.
- gdb_py_generic_dict_getter: a __dict__ getter for extension types
derived from gdbpy__dict__wrapper.
- gdb_py_generic_getattro: equivalent of PyObject_GenericGetAttr, but
fixes the look-up of __dict__.
- gdb_py_generic_setattro: equivalent of PyObject_GenericSetAttr, but
fixes the look-up of __dict__.

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

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

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.

Change the "iterate over objfiles in search order" operation from a
gdbarch method to methods on both program_space and solib_ops.
The first motivation for this is that I want to encapsulate solib-svr4's
data into svr4_solib_ops (in a subsequent series), instead of it being
in a separate structure (svr4_info). It is awkward to do so as long as
there are entry points that aren't the public solib_ops interface.
The second motivation is my project of making it able to have multiple
solib_ops per program space (which should be the subject of said
subsequent series), to better support heterogenousa systems (like ROCm,
with CPU and GPU in the same inferior). When we have this, when stopped
in GPU code, it won't make sense to ask the host's architecture to do
the iteration, as the logic could be different for the GPU architecture.
Instead, program_space::iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order will be
responsible to delegate to the various solib_ops using a logic that is
yet to be determined.
I included this patch in this series (rather than the following one)
so that svr4_solib_ops::iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order can access
svr4_solib_ops::default_debug_base, introduced in a later patch in this
series.
default_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order becomes the default
implementation of solib_ops::iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order.
As far as I know, all architectures using
svr4_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order also use solib_ops_svr4, so I
don't expect this patch to cause behavior changes.

Note that this introduces some new constants to Python and Guile. I

simpler to patch the docs just once, rather than twice.
This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to

Many object types now have a __repr__() function implementation. A
common pattern is that, if an object is invalid, we print its
representation as: <TYPENAME (invalid)>.
I thought it might be a good idea to move the formatting of this
specific representation into a utility function, and then update all
of our existing code to call the new function.
The only place where I haven't made use of the new function is in
unwind_infopy_repr, where we currently return a different string.
This case is a little different as the UnwindInfo is invalid because
it references a frame, and it is the frame itself which is invalid.
That said, I think it would be fine to switch to using the standard
format; if the UnwindInfo references an invalid frame, then the
UnwindInfo is itself invalid. But changing this would be an actual
change in behaviour, while all the other changes in this commit are
just refactoring.

This function is just a wrapper around the current inferior's gdbarch.
I find that having that wrapper just obscures where the arch is coming
from, and that it's often used as "I don't know which arch to use so
I'll use this magical target_gdbarch function that gets me an arch" when
the arch should in fact come from something in the context (a thread,
objfile, symbol, etc). I think that removing it and inlining
`current_inferior ()->arch ()` everywhere will make it a bit clearer
where that arch comes from and will trigger people into reflecting
whether this is the right place to get the arch or not.

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.
The implementation of gdb.lookup_objfile() iterates over all objfiles and
compares their name or build id to the user-provided search string.
This will cause problems when supporting linker namespaces as the first
objfile in any namespace will be found. Instead, use
gdbarch_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order to only consider the
namespace of gdb.current_objfile() for the search, which defaults to the
initial namespace when gdb.current_objfile() is None.
This changes struct objfile to use a gdb_bfd_ref_ptr. In addition to
removing some manual memory management, this fixes a use-after-free
that was introduced by the registry rewrite series. The issue there
was that, in some cases, registry shutdown could refer to memory that
had already been freed. This help fix the bug by delaying the
destruction of the BFD reference (and thus the per-bfd object) until
after the registry has been shut down.
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.
Sometimes an objfile comes from memory and not from a file. It can be
useful to be able to check this from Python, so this patch adds a new
"is_file" attribute.
New in this version:
- Rebase on master, fix a few more issues that appeared.
python-internal.h contains a number of macros that helped make the code
work with both Python 2 and 3. Remove them and adjust the code to use
the Python 3 functions.

I noticed that host_hex_value is redundant, because gdbsupport already
has fromhex. This patch removes the former in favor of the latter.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
While experimenting with JIT reader API I realized that calling repr ()
on objfile created by JIT reader crashes GDB.
The problem was that objfpy_repr () called objfile_filename () which
returned NULL, causing PyString_FromFormat () to crash.
This commit fixes this problem by using objfile_name () instead of
objfile_filename (). This also makes consistent with the value of gdb.Objfile.filename variable.
Currently, gdb's Python layer captures the current architecture and
language when "entering" Python code. This has some undesirable
effects, and so this series changes how this is handled.
First, there is code like this:
gdbpy_enter enter_py (python_gdbarch, python_language);
This is incorrect, because both of these are NULL when not otherwise
assigned. This can cause crashes in some cases -- I've added one to
the test suite. (Note that this crasher is just an example, other
ones along the same lines are possible.)
Second, when the language is captured in this way, it means that
Python code cannot affect the current language for its own purposes.
It's reasonable to want to write code like this:
gdb.execute('set language mumble')
... stuff using the current language
gdb.execute('set language previous-value')
However, this won't actually work, because the language is captured on
entry. I've added a test to show this as well.
This patch changes gdb to try to avoid capturing the current values.
The Python concept of the current gdbarch is only set in those few
cases where a non-default value is computed or needed; and the
language is not captured at all -- instead, in the cases where it's
required, the current language is temporarily changed.
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py

Then the call to do_start_initialization (in python/python.c) is moved

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.

This changes some more place in the Python code to use gdbpy_ref
rather than explicit reference counting. While doing this I found a
latent bug in typy_fields_items -- it was not checking for errors in
one spot. I also changed valpy_dealloc to use Py_XDECREF rather than
an explicit "if".

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.

Printing a GDB Python object is notoriously not helpful:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior object at 0x7fea59aed198>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile object at 0x7fea59b57c90>]
This makes printing debug traces more difficult than it should be. This
patch provides some repr() implementation for these two types (more to
come if people agree with the idea, but I want to test the water first).
Here's the same example as above, but with this patch:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior num=1>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile filename=/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb-gcc-git/gdb/test>]
I implemented repr rather than str, because when printing a list (or
another container I suppose), Python calls the repr method of the
elements. This is useful when printing a list of inferiors or objfiles.
The print(gdb.objfiles()) above would not have worked if I had
implemented str.
I found this post useful to understand the difference between repr and
str:
