[PATCH 0/3] Test mingw32 GDB in cygwin

[PATCH 0/3] Test mingw32 GDB in cygwin

[Yao Qi]

Hi,
This patch series try to fix the problems we've seen on running
mingw32 native for testing in cygwin tty.  Patch 2/3 unbuffer the
stdout and stderr, so that dejagnu/expect can match the output in
the right order.  Likewise, patch 3/3 sets stdin/stdout/stderr into
binary mode, so that dejagnu/expects can match the eol correctly
too.

Patch 2/3 and 3/3 was posted last week,

  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00481.html
  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00358.html

and one review comment is that these changes affect the behavior of
mingw32 GDB as a typical native win32 application.  In order to
remove this side effect, a new option '--cyginw-tty' is added in
patch 1/3, which tells GDB that it is running in Cygwin TTY.

The whole series are tested on native mingw32 GDB running in cygwin.
Test results are improved dramatically.

[PATCH 3/3] native mingw32 gdb, eol format

[Yao Qi]

Hello,
I see the following fail on a remote windows host,

info tracepoints^M
Num     Type           Disp Enb Address    What^M^M
1       tracepoint     keep y   0x0040143f in gdb_c_test at actions.c:74^M^M
        not installed on target^M^M
2       tracepoint     keep y   0x00401687 in gdb_asm_test at actions.c:121^M^M
        not installed on target^M^M
3       tracepoint     keep y   0x004013d2 in gdb_recursion_test at actions.c:61^M^M
        not installed on target^M^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.trace/deltrace.exp: 3.1a: set three tracepoints

this fail is caused by an extra '\r' at end of each line.

on Windows, when a file is opened in text mode, a "\n" is always
expanded to "\r\n", so gdb on Windows is outputting "\r\n", and when
that goes throught the PTY, the '\n' is being expanded to "\r\n",
hence "\r\r\n".

This patch is to force stdin/stdout/stderr to binary mode prevents that
expansion.

[PATCH 2/3] Unbuffer stdout and stderr on windows

[Yao Qi]

This is the V2.  We have some changes in V2:

 - Replace '_WIN32' with '__MINGW32__'.
 - Check flag 'cygwin_tty'.
 - Postpone setting stdout/stderr until the option is parsed.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
This patch is to disable the buffering on windows host, because the
error message and gdb prompt come out in different orders, which
causes a lot of test fails.

We call setvbuf this place, because it is a place "before any other
operation is performed".  See the doc below:

  "The setvbuf() function may be used after the stream pointed to by
stream is associated with an open file but before any other operation
(other than an unsuccessful call to setvbuf()) is performed on the
stream."

It is not the first time this patch show up here.  Daniel posted it
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00433.html and Joel
preferred it as the exact same piece of code is in their tree as well
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00434.html
Eli wanted to check this patch didn't interfere with Emacs 23 GDB
interface on Windows, which is probably the last question to this
patch.  The discussion stopped there.  I build native mingw32 gdb
with buffering disabled, and use it with Emacs 24.3 in Windows
cmd.exe.  Emacs+GDB behave correctly.

[PATCH 1/3] New option --cygwin-tty.

[Yao Qi]

Hi,
This patch is to add a new GDB option '--cygwin-tty', which is useful
when running/testing mingw32 native GDB in cygwin.  Due the odd TTY
in Cygwin, the output of mingw32 native GDB behaves differently,
which causes the testsuite result unusable.  I tried different
approaches to detect whether GDB is running in cygwin tty, but failed.
Finally, we decide to add this option in GDB, and let the testsuite
to launch GDB with this option if GDB is running cygwin.

This patch was written by Pedro in 2008, and used in CS tree for a
while.

Ptys in Cygwin are implemented as named pipes.  Therefore the native
MSVCRT _isatty() call returns 0 when called on a stream connected to a
pty.

Last year I created an isatty replacement implementation for non-Cygwin
applications for demonstration.  It should work with Mingw-w64 as well
as VC++.  I attached it to this mail, maybe it helps.

RE: [PATCH 1/3] New option --cygwin-tty.

[Pierre Muller]

  Hi again,

  Instead of adding a new command line option,
we might change this into a new command
call
  set windows-os-tty on/off

In the testsuite, this could be 
automated by adding "-ex {set windows-os-tty on}"
to INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS.
  This is what I do to run the testsuite on
msys for the "set interactive-mode on"
command that I added a while ago to resolve a similar problem.

This would avoid adding a target specific command line option
and allow to move most of the code to mingw-hdep.c source
where it belongs as it really is mingw specific, no?

Yeah, I agree, but I am worried that stdio handlers (such as stdout) 
should be set before any writes to them, so we should set the flag 
(cygwin_tty) at the early stage of GDB start up (before command 'set 
windows-os-tty on' is processed).  If it is not a problem, I am fine.

I am looking at Corinna's example to see how to detect GDB is running in 
Cygwin's TTY.  If it works, probably we can get rid of this new GDB 
option completely.

You can use the _setmode() call at any time to switch text/binary mode
on the descriptors.

It has been tested under Mingw-w64 and VC++.  If you're using Mingw.Org,
it probably needs some tweaking.

...in terms of using different header files and the definitions at the
start of the example code.  The source itself should then work unchanged.

The doc on _setmode on MSDN says _setmode () should be called before any 
input or output operations.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tw4k6df8.aspx

"_setmode is typically used to modify the default translation mode of 
stdin and stdout, but you can use it on any file. If you apply _setmode 
to the file descriptor for a stream, call _setmode before you perform 
any input or output operations on the stream."

Beside setmode, we also need setvbuf to disable buffering.  It should be 
called before any input or output on the stream.

Right, it needs some tweaks on headers files for Mingw.Org.

What is the minimum version of cygwin required for this example?  In 
cygwin 1.7.20, the file name is 
"\cygwin-8c26184c318518a4-pty0-from-master", while in 1.7.9, it is 
"\cygwin-c5e39b7a9d22bafb-tty0-from-master".

Read the source code comments.  The hex number is a per-installation
hash value which does not tell anything about the Cygwin version.  The
earliest supported Cygwin version is 1.7.0, so the answer is "all of
them" for all practical purposes.

My point was about the "pty0" vs "tty0" difference in the file name.  If 
the difference is expected, I'll update the name pattern in the code. 
Your example expects to see "pty".

Oh, ok, I missed that.  Just tweak the code to check for both if you
want to support old Cygwin versions.  But this isn't necessary IMO.

As a data point, and I agree that avoiding any new option would be preferable,
in addition to -ex there is also -iex which is performed earlier in
the gdb startup process
(before symbol files are read, for example).

RE: [PATCH 0/3] Test mingw32 GDB in cygwin

[Pierre Muller]

  Hi all,

  while I find that this patch series is really a big improvement
towards getting usable results for Windows OS native GDB,
I must say that I do not like at all the name of the new
command line option.

  Indeed, I tested your previous patches on a current trunk CVS
source compiled on msys system configured as i686-pc-mingw32.
  I am using an old dejagnu port for msys
which basically suffers the problems a you describe for mingw32 GDB
on a cygwin tty.
  
  But to me it seems rather odd that we should use --cygwin-tty
option on an msys terminal.
  Maybe --windows-so-tty would be more appropriate?
