             Bug #: 13326
           Summary: Need support for C++ method call for a gdb.Value
                    object from within python
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: lxmachine@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The python scripting support is great.

There is support for function call if a gdb.Value object is of type
TYPE_CODE_FUNC.

There is no support for method call yet if a gdb.Value object is of type
TYPE_CODE_METHOD.

In order to support the pretty-pritters for some classes, sometimes we need to
call an method instead of just accessing some member fields.

Thanks,
Xun

Use from a python pretty-printer is a bit convoluted, but it works:

def to_string(self):
    gdb.set_convenience_variable('_tmp', self.val.reference_value())
    return gdb.parse_and_eval('$_tmp.str()')

    Allow calling of C++ methods from python

    Currently it's not possible to call C++ methods from python.
    Using this example:
    ```
    class B
    {
      static int static_func ();
      int arg0_func ();
      int arg1_func (int arg1);
      int arg2_func (int arg1, int arg2);
    };

    B *b_obj = new B;
    ```

    Trying to call B::static_func gives this error:
    ```
    (gdb) py b_obj = gdb.parse_and_eval('b_obj')
    (gdb) py print(b_obj['static_func']())
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    RuntimeError: Value is not callable (not TYPE_CODE_FUNC).
    Error while executing Python code.
    ```

    TYPE_CODE_METHOD was simply missing as a possible type in
    valpy_call, now the same is possible:
    ```
    (gdb) py b_obj = gdb.parse_and_eval('b_obj')
    (gdb) py print(b_obj['static_func']())
    1111
    ```

    Note that it's necessary to explicitely add the this pointer
    as the first argument in a call of non-static methods:
    ```
    (gdb) py print(b_obj['arg0_func']())
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    gdb.error: Too few arguments in function call.
    Error while executing Python code.
    (gdb) py print(b_obj['arg0_func'](b_obj))
    198
    ```

    Allow calling of convenience functions with python

    As mentioned in PR13326, currently when you try to call a
    convenience function with python, you get this error:

    (gdb) py print(gdb.convenience_variable("_isvoid")(3))
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    RuntimeError: Value is not callable (not TYPE_CODE_FUNC or
TYPE_CODE_METHOD).
    Error while executing Python code.

    So this extends valpy_call to handle TYPE_CODE_INTERNAL_FUNCTION as
    well, making this possible:

    (gdb) py print(gdb.convenience_variable("_isvoid")(3))
    0

--- Comment #7 from Hannes Domani <ssbssa at sourceware dot org> ---
(In reply to vuvova from comment #1)
> Same for TYPE_CODE_INTERNAL_FUNCTION:
> 
> (gdb) pi a=gdb.parse_and_eval('$_streq')
> (gdb) pi print a.type.code == gdb.TYPE_CODE_INTERNAL_FUNCTION
> True
> (gdb) pi a("1","2")
> Python Exception <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> Value is not callable (not
> TYPE_CODE_FUNC).:

Now this is fixed as well.
