[PATCH v2 0/4] Fix regression in new DWARF reader

[PATCH v2 0/4] Fix regression in new DWARF reader

[Tom Tromey]

Here's v2 of the series to fix a regression introduced by the new
DWARF reader.

v1 was here:

    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-December/194795.html

In this version, I added some unit tests in patch #1 to try to
demonstrate that patch #2 is safe.  Because parallel_for_each is now
so complicated, this turns out to be non-obvious, and in fact I found
another bug (not affecting patch #2 -- the bug was that an empty task
could still be submitted -- but an empty task does not yield an empty
result) in it while working on this.

Let me know what you think.  This is blocking GDB 13.

[PATCH v2 1/4] Avoid submitting empty tasks in parallel_for_each

[Tom Tromey]

I found that parallel_for_each would submit empty tasks to the thread
pool.  For example, this can happen if the number of tasks is smaller
than the number of available threads.  In the DWARF reader, this
resulted in the cooked index containing empty sub-indices.  This patch
arranges to instead shrink the result vector and process the trailing
entries in the calling thread.

Thanks for the updated patch, and the added test.

This patch looks OK to me.

[PATCH v2 2/4] Don't erase empty indices in DWARF reader

[Tom Tromey]

The DWARF reader has some code to remove empty indices.  However, I
think this code has been obsolete since some earlier changes to
parallel_for_each.  This patch removes this code.

I don't think this code needs a re-review, since it's already been
approved by me, and I think also by Andrew, but just in case,
OK for me :).

Thanks.

I think somewhere we discussed the possibility of not merging this patch
to gdb-13.  I'm planning to leave this one out there, as it's safe to do
so.

[PATCH v2 3/4] Move hash_entry and eq_entry into cooked_index::do_finalize

[Tom Tromey]

I was briefly confused by the hash_entry and eq_entry functions in the
cooked index.  They are only needed in a single method, and that
method already has a couple of local lambdas for a different hash
table.  So, it seemed cleaner to move these there as well.

[PATCH v2 4/4] Fix parameter-less template regression in new DWARF reader

[Tom Tromey]

PR c++/29896 points out a regression in the new DWARF reader.  It does
not properly handle a case like "break fn", where "fn" is a template
function.

This happens because the new index uses strncasecmp to compare.
However, to make this work correctly, we need a custom function that
ignores template parameters.

This patch adds a custom comparison function and fixes the bug.  A new
test case is included.

Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29896

Re: [PATCH v2 4/4] Fix parameter-less template regression in new DWARF reader

Thanks for updating the copyright years.

I believe it should be 2022-2023, though. I remember being told that
the start of the copyright year range corresponds to the year the file
was committed to medium.

The patch is still OK for me with the minor correction above.

This uses the old syntax, so we get:

Sorry about that.  I see now that my test comparison script doesn't
account for ERROR / UNRESOLVED :(

I'm going to check in the appended.

I started to look into this, using that other patch I sent that dumps
the contents of the cooked index.  You probably already know this, as
you have been looking at the problem already, but it can perhaps help
pothers.  The specific instance I look at is:

  $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.cp/cpexprs/cpexprs -ex start -ex "print policy1::function" -batch

When searching in the cooked index, the search string (canonicalized
version of the input, I think) is:

  "policy<int, operation_1<void*> >::function"

The problem is that the lower bound function used in
cooked_index::find (cooked_index_entry::compare) is invalid for these
two consecutive entries:

    [365] ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x621000115080)
    name:       policy
    canonical:  policy
    DWARF tag:  DW_TAG_subprogram
    flags:      0x0 []
    DIE offset: 0x3951
    parent:     ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x6210001137a0) [policy<int, operation_2<void*> >]

    [366] ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x621000113740)
    name:       policy<int, operation_1<void*> >
    canonical:  policy<int, operation_1<void*> >
    DWARF tag:  DW_TAG_class_type
    flags:      0x0 []
    DIE offset: 0x22a3
    parent:     ((cooked_index_entry *) 0)

It returns that [365] greater or equal to our search string, but also
that [366] is less than our search string.  This is a contradiction,
because elements are supposed to be sorted according to the comparison
function.

I've been carrying a patch to work around this issue since the issue was
introduced.  I've included the patch below, but I don't see it as a
permanent fix, though it might help some folk in the short term as a
work around.

The underlying problem is that we use a different sort predicate for the
std::lower_bound and std::upper_bound calls (in some cases) than when we
sorted this list.  I'm not sure this can ever work correctly.

The patch below replaces the lower/upper bound calls with a linear walk
of the cooked_index, but this is pretty slow, so much so I had to extend
a timeout in one test to avoid it timing out.

I also started looking into this more seriously yesterday as I was
getting fed up having to port this patch to all my dev branches.

Thanks,
Andrew

    [wip] gdb: temporary fix for the cooked index issue
    
    Issue introduced in commit:
    
      commit ac37b79cc440e37fc704d425a6e450afb3c7ee89

          Fix parameter-less template regression in new DWARF reader
    
    Problem is a use of std::lower_bound with a comparison function that
    is different to the one used to sort the vector.
    
    This changes seems to slow down GDB a fair bit though, this can be
    seen by the need to adjust gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp.

Yeah, that was my conclusion as well.

My plan is to sort more naively again (writing our own strcasecmp though
to avoid the performance thing on Windows), then have either the 'find'

Well, after talking to Simon on irc, I think my conclusion was wrong.

I've sent a patch to fix the problem.  Please take a look.
