This patch fixes a problem with using the MI -var-update command
to access the values of registers in frames other than the current
frame. The patch includes a test that demonstrates the problem:
* run so there are several frames on the stack
* create a fixed varobj for $pc in each frame, #'s 1 and above
* step one instruction, to modify the value of $pc
* call -var-update for each of the previously created varobjs
to verify that they are not reported as having changed.
Without the patch, the -var-update command reported that $pc for all
frames 1 and above had changed to the value of $pc in frame 0.
A varobj is created as either fixed, the expression is evaluated within
the context of a specific frame, or floating, the expression is
evaluated within the current frame, whatever that may be.
When a varobj is created by -var-create we set two fields of the varobj
to track the context in which the varobj was created, these two fields
are varobj->root->frame and var->root->valid_block.
If a varobj is of type fixed, then, when we subsequently try to
reevaluate the expression associated with the varobj we must determine
if the original frame (and block) is still available, if it is not then
the varobj can no longer be evaluated.
The problem is that for register expressions varobj->root->valid_block
is not set correctly. This block tracking is done using the global
'innermost_block' which is set in the various parser files (for example
c-exp.y). However, this is not set for register expressions.
The fix then seems like it should be to just update the innermost block
when parsing register expressions, however, that solution causes several
test regressions.
The problem is that in some cases we rely on the expression parsing code
not updating the innermost block got registers.
One example is when we parse the expression for a 'display' command.
The display commands treats registers like floating varobjs, but symbols
are treated like fixed varobjs. So 'display $reg_name' will always show
the value of '$reg_name' even as the user moves from frame to frame,
while 'display my_variable' will only show 'my_variable' while it is in
the current frame and/or block, when the user moves to a new frame
and/or block (even one with a different 'my_variable' in) then the
display of 'my_variable' stops. For the case of 'display', without the
option to force fixed or floating expressions, the current behaviour is
probably the best choice. For the varobj system though, we can choose
between floating and fixed, and we should try to make this work for
registers.
There's only one existing test case that needs to be updated, in that
test a fixed varobj is created using a register, the MI output now
include the thread-id in which the varobj should be evaluated, which I
believe is correct behaviour. I also added a new floating test case
into the same test script, however, right now this also includes the
thread-id in the expected output, which I believe is an existing gdb
bug, which I plan to fix next.
Tested on x86_64 Linux native and native-gdbserver, no regressions.

I read the (quite long) history of this patch series to catch up, and
the approach seems good to me. I think you have addressed Pedro's
concerns (from 2016-08), but I'll let him take a look, if he has time.
I noted a few minor comments, mostly in the new test.

track_type would ideally be an enum_flags type. Unfortunately, it doesn't
seem to work to put DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE in a class, so I assume this is why
you've done it this way. I'm fine with this, we can look into improving
enum flags later (if it's even possible). Otherwise, I'd be fine with putting
the type outside the class.

Same here.
I just saw in the caller you check if the return value is "". I think it would still
be good to put a FAIL (or UNRESOLVED) here, in case somebody uses this function without
checking the return value. And if they do:
set addr [breakpoint_address 1] # this returns ""
gdb_test "some_command" ".*$addr.*"
the failure would go unnoticced.

This "continue" is not in a loop, so it wouldn't work. I suggest

Instead of with_test_prefix, I would suggest declaring the proc with "proc_with_prefix".
The name of the proc is expressive enough to be used as the "scope".

I think it would be good to use the same test name if possible. It's not a huge deal, but
in the buildbot for example, if this test starts failing, it would appear as a new test
that fails, rather than a PASS -> FAIL.
For that purpose, you can use gdb_assert:
gdb_assert "$bpaddr == $pcval" "\$pc equals address of breakpoint"

This commit is preparation for a later change, at this point there
should be no user visible change.
We currently maintain a global innermost_block which tracks the most
inner block encountered when parsing an expression.
This commit wraps the innermost_block into a new class, and switches all
direct accesses to the variable to use the class API.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-exp.y (write_var_from_sym): Switch to innermost_block API.
* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Likewise.
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_condition) Likewise.
(watch_command_1) Likewise.
* c-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* d-exp.y (PrimaryExpression): Likewise.
* f-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* go-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* m2-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* objfiles.c (objfile::~objfile): Likewise.
* p-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* parse.c (innermost_block): Change type.
* parser-defs.h (class innermost_block_tracker): New.
(innermost_block): Change to innermost_block_tracker.
* printcmd.c (display_command): Switch to innermost_block API.
(do_one_display): Likewise.
* rust-exp.y (do_one_display): Likewise.
* symfile.c (clear_symtab_users): Likewise.
* varobj.c (varobj_create): Switch to innermost_block API, replace
use of innermost_block with block stored on varobj object.

Hi Andrew,
I think this is a nice cleanup on its own right, removing a lot of duplicated
code. LGTM with a nit:

Private members should be prefixed with m_ (m_innermost_block).

When creating a varobj with -var-create a user can create either fixed
varobj, or floating varobj.
A fixed varobj will always be evaluated within the thread/frame/block in
which the varobj was created, if that thread/frame/block is no longer
available then the varobj is considered out of scope.
A floating varobj will always be evaluated within the current
thread/frame/block.
Despite never using them GDB was storing the thread/frame/block into a
floating varobj, and the thread-id would then be displayed when GDB
reported on the state of the varobj, this could confuse a user into
thinking that the thread-id was relevant.
This commit prevents GDB storing the thread/frame/block onto floating
varobj, and updates the few tests where this impacts the results.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* varobj.c (varobj_create): Don't set valid_block when creating a
floating varobj.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-mi.exp: Don't expect a thread-id for floating
varobj.
* gdb.mi/mi-var-create-rtti.exp: Likewise.

A function is declared in two header files. Remove the extra
declaration, and add an include of the correct header into the one place
this seems cause an issue.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* expression.h (innermost_block): Remove declaration.
* varobj.c: Add 'parser-defs.h' include.

This patch fixes a problem with using the MI -var-update command
to access the values of registers in frames other than the current
frame. The patch includes a test that demonstrates the problem:
* run so there are several frames on the stack
* create a fixed varobj for $pc in each frame, #'s 1 and above
* step one instruction, to modify the value of $pc
* call -var-update for each of the previously created varobjs
to verify that they are not reported as having changed.
Without the patch, the -var-update command reported that $pc for all
frames 1 and above had changed to the value of $pc in frame 0.
A varobj is created as either fixed, the expression is evaluated within
the context of a specific frame, or floating, the expression is
evaluated within the current frame, whatever that may be.
When a varobj is created by -var-create we set two fields of the varobj
to track the context in which the varobj was created, these two fields
are varobj->root->frame and var->root->valid_block.
If a varobj is of type fixed, then, when we subsequently try to
reevaluate the expression associated with the varobj we must determine
if the original frame (and block) is still available, if it is not then
the varobj can no longer be evaluated.
The problem is that for register expressions varobj->root->valid_block
is not set correctly. This block tracking is done using the global
'innermost_block' which is set in the various parser files (for example
c-exp.y). However, this is not set for register expressions.
The fix then seems like it should be to just update the innermost block
when parsing register expressions, however, that solution causes several
test regressions.
The problem is that in some cases we rely on the expression parsing
code not updating the innermost block for registers, one example is
when we parse the expression for a 'display' command. The display
commands treats registers like floating varobjs, but symbols are
treated like fixed varobjs. So 'display $reg_name' will always show
the value of '$reg_name' even as the user moves from frame to frame,
while 'display my_variable' will only show 'my_variable' while it is
in the current frame and/or block, when the user moves to a new frame
and/or block (even one with a different 'my_variable' in) then the
display of 'my_variable' stops. For the case of 'display', without
the option to force fixed or floating expressions, the current
behaviour is probably the best choice. For the varobj system though,
we can choose between floating and fixed, and we should try to make
this work for registers.
There's only one existing test case that needs to be updated, in that
test a fixed varobj is created using a register, the MI output now
include the thread-id in which the varobj should be evaluated, which I
believe is correct behaviour. I also added a new floating test case
into the same test script, however, right now this also includes the
thread-id in the expected output, which I believe is an existing gdb
bug, which I plan to fix next.
Tested on x86_64 Linux native and native-gdbserver, no regressions.

Hi Andrew,
This version of the series all looks good to me. I only have
comments in this patch. Fix them, and you're good to go.
Please push.

The last sentence reads a bit weird to me. I think you meant:
"innermost block track" -> "innermost block tracker"
Maybe a period instead of a comma before "these flags"?

Period instead of comma before "the stored" ?

This commit is preparation for a later change, at this point there
should be no user visible change.
We currently maintain a global innermost_block which tracks the most
inner block encountered when parsing an expression.
This commit wraps the innermost_block into a new class, and switches all
direct accesses to the variable to use the class API.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-exp.y (write_var_from_sym): Switch to innermost_block API.
* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Likewise.
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_condition) Likewise.
(watch_command_1) Likewise.
* c-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* d-exp.y (PrimaryExpression): Likewise.
* f-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* go-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* m2-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* objfiles.c (objfile::~objfile): Likewise.
* p-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* parse.c (innermost_block): Change type.
* parser-defs.h (class innermost_block_tracker): New.
(innermost_block): Change to innermost_block_tracker.
* printcmd.c (display_command): Switch to innermost_block API.
(do_one_display): Likewise.
* rust-exp.y (do_one_display): Likewise.
* symfile.c (clear_symtab_users): Likewise.
* varobj.c (varobj_create): Switch to innermost_block API, replace
use of innermost_block with block stored on varobj object.

When creating a varobj with -var-create a user can create either fixed
varobj, or floating varobj.
A fixed varobj will always be evaluated within the thread/frame/block in
which the varobj was created, if that thread/frame/block is no longer
available then the varobj is considered out of scope.
A floating varobj will always be evaluated within the current
thread/frame/block.
Despite never using them GDB was storing the thread/frame/block into a
floating varobj, and the thread-id would then be displayed when GDB
reported on the state of the varobj, this could confuse a user into
thinking that the thread-id was relevant.
This commit prevents GDB storing the thread/frame/block onto floating
varobj, and updates the few tests where this impacts the results.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* varobj.c (varobj_create): Don't set valid_block when creating a
floating varobj.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-mi.exp: Don't expect a thread-id for floating
varobj.
* gdb.mi/mi-var-create-rtti.exp: Likewise.

Updated to address Pedro's feedback. Only changes are in patches #2
and #3 to increase the comments on the innermost_block_tracker class,
and to move the innermost_block_tracker_type enum out of the class and
switch to using DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE.
Thanks,
Andrew

When revising this patch Simon talked about using DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE
for the 'track_type', but that doesn't seem to work for enums nested
within a class (as he pointed out).
I'm happy to move the enum innermost_block_tracker::track_type out of
the class, and make it global (with a more descriptive name I guess)
if that's what people would prefer, then I could use
DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE.
Otherwise, I think all of the review comments have been addressed.
Thanks,
Andrew

This patch fixes a problem with using the MI -var-update command
to access the values of registers in frames other than the current
frame. The patch includes a test that demonstrates the problem:
* run so there are several frames on the stack
* create a fixed varobj for $pc in each frame, #'s 1 and above
* step one instruction, to modify the value of $pc
* call -var-update for each of the previously created varobjs
to verify that they are not reported as having changed.
Without the patch, the -var-update command reported that $pc for all
frames 1 and above had changed to the value of $pc in frame 0.
A varobj is created as either fixed, the expression is evaluated within
the context of a specific frame, or floating, the expression is
evaluated within the current frame, whatever that may be.
When a varobj is created by -var-create we set two fields of the varobj
to track the context in which the varobj was created, these two fields
are varobj->root->frame and var->root->valid_block.
If a varobj is of type fixed, then, when we subsequently try to
reevaluate the expression associated with the varobj we must determine
if the original frame (and block) is still available, if it is not then
the varobj can no longer be evaluated.
The problem is that for register expressions varobj->root->valid_block
is not set correctly. This block tracking is done using the global
'innermost_block' which is set in the various parser files (for example
c-exp.y). However, this is not set for register expressions.
The fix then seems like it should be to just update the innermost block
when parsing register expressions, however, that solution causes several
test regressions.
The problem is that in some cases we rely on the expression parsing
code not updating the innermost block for registers, one example is
when we parse the expression for a 'display' command. The display
commands treats registers like floating varobjs, but symbols are
treated like fixed varobjs. So 'display $reg_name' will always show
the value of '$reg_name' even as the user moves from frame to frame,
while 'display my_variable' will only show 'my_variable' while it is
in the current frame and/or block, when the user moves to a new frame
and/or block (even one with a different 'my_variable' in) then the
display of 'my_variable' stops. For the case of 'display', without
the option to force fixed or floating expressions, the current
behaviour is probably the best choice. For the varobj system though,
we can choose between floating and fixed, and we should try to make
this work for registers.
There's only one existing test case that needs to be updated, in that
test a fixed varobj is created using a register, the MI output now
include the thread-id in which the varobj should be evaluated, which I
believe is correct behaviour. I also added a new floating test case
into the same test script, however, right now this also includes the
thread-id in the expected output, which I believe is an existing gdb
bug, which I plan to fix next.
Tested on x86_64 Linux native and native-gdbserver, no regressions.

I think using DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE would be better, but I can live
with this too.
Note: I have a patch series from last year on my github that improves
DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE such that you can use it within a namespace, and
also with "enum class", IIRC. Not sure it'll make the "nested
within class" case work, haven't looked at it in months:
https://github.com/palves/gdb/commits/palves/cxx11-enum-flags
I'll try to resurrect that series in this cycle.

Yes, I think so. This all looks good to me, with a couple nits:

This new enum needs documentation. Also each enumerator.
What do they mean? Can one combine them? Etc.
IMO, innermost_block_tracker's method description comments
would be better on the declarations than the definitions,
so that one can read the class in the header and better
understand the API by reading the public/client interface,
but I won't insist on that.
Thanks much for following through with this, and thanks
for the patience.

When creating a varobj with -var-create a user can create either fixed
varobj, or floating varobj.
A fixed varobj will always be evaluated within the thread/frame/block in
which the varobj was created, if that thread/frame/block is no longer
available then the varobj is considered out of scope.
A floating varobj will always be evaluated within the current
thread/frame/block.
Despite never using them GDB was storing the thread/frame/block into a
floating varobj, and the thread-id would then be displayed when GDB
reported on the state of the varobj, this could confuse a user into
thinking that the thread-id was relevant.
This commit prevents GDB storing the thread/frame/block onto floating
varobj, and updates the few tests where this impacts the results.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* varobj.c (varobj_create): Don't set valid_block when creating a
floating varobj.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-mi.exp: Don't expect a thread-id for floating
varobj.
* gdb.mi/mi-var-create-rtti.exp: Likewise.

'innermost_block'.

This commit is preparation for a later change, at this point there
should be no user visible change.
We currently maintain a global innermost_block which tracks the most
inner block encountered when parsing an expression.
This commit wraps the innermost_block into a new class, and switches all
direct accesses to the variable to use the class API.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-exp.y (write_var_from_sym): Switch to innermost_block API.
* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Likewise.
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_condition) Likewise.
(watch_command_1) Likewise.
* c-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* d-exp.y (PrimaryExpression): Likewise.
* f-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* go-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* m2-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* objfiles.c (objfile::~objfile): Likewise.
* p-exp.y (variable): Likewise.
* parse.c (innermost_block): Change type.
* parser-defs.h (class innermost_block_tracker): New.
(innermost_block): Change to innermost_block_tracker.
* printcmd.c (display_command): Switch to innermost_block API.
(do_one_display): Likewise.
* rust-exp.y (do_one_display): Likewise.
* symfile.c (clear_symtab_users): Likewise.
* varobj.c (varobj_create): Switch to innermost_block API, replace
use of innermost_block with block stored on varobj object.
