GDB's man page source (in gdb.texinfo) contains:
@t{++}
The @t{...} part is supposed to display the wrapped text with a
fixed-width font. The texi2pod.pl script currently doesn't handle
@t{...}, so it appears as-is in the man page:
You can use GDB to debug programs written in C, C@t{++}, Fortran and Modula-2.
gcc's version of texi2pod.pl (at contrib/texi2pod.pl in gcc's repo)
replaces @t{...} with the wrapped text as-is, which I think is an
acceptable behavior. The fixed-width font distinction is not really
important for a man page, where the text will be displayed with whatever
font the user is using.
Import the line that does that from gcc's version.
I have verified that there is no other, unwanted change in man pages
generated in binutils' and GDB's doc, with this patch applied.
etc/ChangeLog:
* texi2pod.pl: Handle @t{...} tags.
When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:
configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation
Solution 1:
Adjust the code based on the example at that URL.
Problem 2 (in zlib/):
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Solution 2:
Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
Problem 3:
doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.
Problem 9:

This code looks like it's written to be copied & pasted between diff
C libraries and relies on _LIBC only being used with glibc. This will
break when newlib changes from _COMPILING_NEWLIB to _LIBC, so delete
the glibc-specific logic ahead of time.

Cygwin always requests FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES permissions when trying to
change DAC information. This can lead to permission problems when
trying to chmod/chown files on Samba shares. Drop requesting
FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES on Samba shares and go with WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER
only.

ldtoa cuts the number of digits it returns based on a computation of
number of supported bits (144) divide by log10(2). Not only is the
integer approximation of log10(2) ~= 8/27 missing a digit here, it
also fails to take really small double and long double values into
account.
Allow for the full potential precision of long double values. At the
same time, change the local string array allocation to request only as
much bytes as necessary to support the caller-requested number of
digits, to keep the stack size low on small targets.
In the long run a better fix would be to switch to gdtoa, as the BSD
variants, as well as Mingw64 do.

Currently, newlib does not declare strsignal if DEFS_H is defined,
ostensibly to work around a gdb bug. However, gdb itself compiles
even with this ifndef removed, and this makes sim (another part of
gdb) fail to compile.
Since it is not clear exactly what issue this was working around,
this patch just replaces that ifdef with the correct check,
i.e. __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200809.
The file configure.in was renamed to configure.ac in libgloss/riscv but
the hard coded name in the Makefile for that directory was not updated.
This patch simply renamed this to configure.ac.
Per https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-developers/2021-October/012429.html,
we may encounter a crash when starting multiple threads during process
startup (here: fhandler_fifo::fixup_after_{fork,exec}) which in turn
allocate memory via malloc.
The problem is concurrent usage of malloc before the malloc muto has
been initialized.
To fix this issue, convert the muto to a SRWLOCK and make sure it is
statically initalized. Thus, malloc can be called as early as necessary
and malloc_init is only required to check for user space provided malloc.
Note that this requires to implement a __malloc_trylock macro to be
called from fork.

This patch unifies the layout of the clipboard descriptor cygcb_t for
32- and 64-bit Cygwin. It allows correct copy/paste between the two
environments without corruption of user's copied data and without access
violations due to interpreting that data as a size field.
The definitions of CYGWIN_NATIVE and cygcb_t are moved to a new include
file, sys/clipboard.h. The include file is used by fhandler_clipboard.cc
as well as getclip.c and putclip.c in the Cygwin cygutils package.
When copy/pasting between 32- and 64-bit Cygwin environments, both must
be running version 3.3.0 or later for successful operation.
Reported by prodisDown:
In picolibc/newlib/libc/string/strrchr.c
if (i) { while ((s=strchr(s, i))) { last = s; s++; } } else { last = strchr(s, i); }
Value (for example 0xFFFFFF00) in if (i) can pass test and
then be typecasted to char inside strchr(). Then s++ and then
buffer overrun.
It can be fixed by preventive typecast i = (int) (char) i; or
typecasting inside expression if ((char) i).
Fixed by casting to char.

Add specialized rotations RB_RED_ROTATE_LEFT() and RB_RED_ROTATE_RIGHT() which
may be used if we rotate a red child which has a black sibling. Such a red
node must have at least two child nodes so that the following red-black tree
invariant is fulfilled:
Every path from a given node to any of its descendant NULL nodes goes through
the same number of black nodes.
PARENT
/ \
BLACK RED
/ \
BLACK BLACK
Add specialized rotations RB_PARENT_ROTATE_LEFT() and RB_PARENT_ROTATE_RIGHT()
which may be used if the parent node exists and the direction of the child is
known. The specialized rotations are derived from RB_ROTATE_LEFT() and
RB_ROTATE_RIGHT() where the RB_SWAP_CHILD() was replaced by a simple
assignment.
In RB_GENERATE_REMOVE_COLOR() simplify a chain of conditions of the following
pattern
if (x) {
...
} else if (!x) {
...
}
to
if (x) {
...
} else {
...
}
We have
#define RB_ISRED(elm, field) \
((elm) != NULL && RB_COLOR(elm, field) == RB_RED)
So, the RB_ISRED() contains an implicit check for NULL. In
RB_GENERATE_REMOVE_COLOR() the "elm" pointer cannot be NULL in the while
condition. Use RB_COLOR(elm) == RB_BLACK instead.
- The commit b531d6b0 introduced temporary_query_hdl() which uses
SystemHandleInformation. With this patch, ProcessHandleInformation
rather than SystemHandleInformation is used if it is available.
This request is faster, however, is only available since Windows 8,
therefore, SystemHandleInformation is used for Windows Vista and 7
as before.
- The commit f79a4611 introduced query_hdl, which is the read pipe
handle kept in the write pipe instance in order to determine if
the pipe is ready to write in select(). This implementation has
a potential risk that the write side fails to detect the closure
of the read side if more than one writer exists and one of them
is a non-cygwin process.
With this patch, the strategy of commit f79a4611 is used only if
the process is running as a service. For a normal process,
instead of keeping query_hdl in the write pipe instance, it is
retrieved temporarily when select() is called. Actually, we
want to use tenporary query_hdl for all processes, however, it
does not work for service processes due to OpenProcess()
failure.
open_setup is called by dtable::init_std_file_from_handle and
fhandler_base::open_with_arch. In both cases, failure of open_setup
is now a fatal error.
Currently this can only happen in the following situation: A Cygwin
process is started by a non-Cygwin process, one of the standard IO
handles is a pipe handle, and Cygwin is unable to create a required
mutex (read_mtx or hdl_cnt_mtx).
