Fix regresssion(internal-error) printing subprogram argument (PR gdb/22670)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider the following code which first declares a tagged type (the
equivalent of a class in Ada), and then a procedure which takes a
pointer (access) to this type's 'Class.
package Pck is
type Top_T is tagged record
N : Integer := 1;
end record;
procedure Inspect (Obj: access Top_T'Class);
end Pck;
Putting a breakpoint in that procedure and then running to it triggers
an internal error:
(gdb) break inspect
(gdb) continue
Breakpoint 1, pck.inspect (obj=0x63e010
/[...]/gdb/stack.c:621: internal-error: void print_frame_args(symbol*, frame_info*, int, ui_file*): Assertion `nsym != NULL' failed.
What's special about this subprogram is that it takes an access to
what we call a 'Class type, and for implementation reasons, the
compiler adds an extra argument named "objL". If you are curious why,
it allows the compiler for perform dynamic accessibility checks that
are mandated by the language.
If we look at the location where we get the internal error (in
stack.c), we find that we are looping over the symbol of each
parameter, and for each parameter, we do:
/* We have to look up the symbol because arguments can have
two entries (one a parameter, one a local) and the one we
want is the local, which lookup_symbol will find for us.
[...]
nsym = lookup_symbol (SYMBOL_LINKAGE_NAME (sym),
b, VAR_DOMAIN, NULL).symbol;
gdb_assert (nsym != NULL);
The lookup_symbol goes through the lookup structure, which means the
symbol's linkage name ("objL") gets transformed into a
lookup_name_info object (in block_lookup_symbol), before it gets fed
to the block symbol dictionary iterators. This, in turn, triggers the
symbol matching by comparing the "lookup" name which, for Ada, means
among other things, lowercasing the given name to "objl". It is this
transformation that causes the lookup find no matches, and therefore
trip this assertion.
Going back to the "offending" call to lookup_symbol in stack.c, what
we are trying to do, here, is do a lookup by linkage name. So, I
think what we mean to be doing is a completely literal symbol lookup,
so maybe not even strcmp_iw, but actually just plain strcmp???
In the past, in practice, you could get that effect by doing a lookup
using the C language. But that doesn't work, because we still end up
somehow using Ada's lookup_name routine which transforms "objL".
So, ideally, as I hinted before, I think what we need is a way to
perform a literal lookup so that searches by linkage names like the
above can be performed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This commit fixes the problem by implementing something similar to
Joel's literal idea, but with some important differences.
I considered adding a symbol_name_match_type::LINKAGE and supporting
searching by linkage name for any language, but the problem with that
is that the dictionaries only work with SYMBOL_SEARCH_NAME, because
that's what is used for hashing. We'd need separate dictionaries for
hashed linkage names.
So with the current symbol tables infrastructure, it's not literal
linkage names that we want to pass down, but instead literal _search_
names (SYMBOL_SEARCH_NAME, etc.).
However, psymbols have no overload/function parameter info in C++, so
a straight strcmp doesn't work properly for C++ name matching.
So what we do is be a little less aggressive then and add a new
symbol_name_match_type::SEARCH_SYMBOL instead that takes as input a
non-user-input search symbol, and then we skip any decoding/demangling
steps and make:
- Ada treat that as a verbatim match,
- other languages treat it as symbol_name_match_type::FULL.
This also fixes the new '"maint check-psymtabs" for Ada' testcase for
me (gdb.ada/maint_with_ada.exp). I've not removed the kfail yet
because Joel still sees that testcase failing with this patch.
That'll be fixed in follow up patches.
