* Fix gdt command: require address argument (#2497)
Before this commit, the `gdt` command incorrectly did not require the `address` argument, while it was required.
Because of that, the command crashed like this:
```
pwndbg> gdt
'gdt': Decode X86-64 GDT entries at address
See also:
* https://wiki.osdev.org/Global_Descriptor_Table
* https://wiki.osdev.org/GDT_Tutorial
Note:
In 64-bit mode, the Base and Limit values are ignored, each descriptor covers the entire linear address space regardless of what they are set to.
Exception occurred: gdt: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType' (<class 'TypeError'>)
For more info invoke `set exception-verbose on` and rerun the command
or debug it by yourself with `set exception-debugger on`
```

* Fix terminal width to 80 columns in tests
Set a `PWNDBG_IN_TEST`environment variable when running gdb in tests. Use the dimensions in `LINES` and `COLUMNS` when looking up the window size when that envvar is set.
This makes context output always be 80 columns wide which allows to compare to hardcoded output.
* Use `width` and `height` parameters for cmd window size
They are updated to the correct values when switching between tui and cli mode. So it's unnecessary to parse `info win`.
* Remove workarounds for terminal size in DEVELOPING
* Don't bother updating the env of the debuggee
* Add history of context output
Every context section is cached individually to allow to display older output again. You can scroll through the old context output using `contextprev` and `contextnext`.
This allows to "scroll" in TUI mode.
* Add button TUI window to control context history
* Simplify history status output generation
* Fix attachp tests when ptrace_scope is missing
Assume we can attach to any process when ptrace_scope is not available. This is the case in WSL2.
* Update tests/gdb-tests/tests/test_attachp.py

* Make last-signal context section selectable
There exists a context section to display the reason for the last stop, but it wasn't registered anywhere.
Add it to the list of available sections to choose from.
* Fix default context sections "heap-tracker"
The section name is derived from the function name.
The function is called `context_heap_tracker` so `heap-tracker` wouldn't work:
```
pwndbg> set context-sections heap-tracker
Invalid section: heap-tracker, valid values: args, regs, disasm, stack, backtrace, code, expressions, ghidra, heap_tracker, threads
```
The validator doesn't appear to run for the default value :D
* Update help text to include all available context sections
* Replace bash with sleep in attachp commands to fix crash due to reading from terminal
* Update tests/gdb-tests/tests/test_attachp.py
* Update test_attachp.py

* Fixed bug where plist()'s argument sentinel had incorrect type
* Fixed bug where if sentinel was different from zero, plist tried to dereference a null address
* Fixed bug where some error message in plist displayed 0x0x{address} due to incorrect formatting
* Added additional tests for plist's bugfixes
* Added types to hexdump()'s parameters
* hexdump(): upgraded format strings to f-strings, while fixing the offset when data is empty
* hexdump(): offset is now correctly computed and updated accross repeated calls to hexdump.
This fixes two bugs:
1. Offset was increased by the number of lines displayed by the hexdump() command,
which was incorrect, as some lines may be compressed;
2. When dumping a number of bytes that is not divisible by the number of bytes per line,
offset would be incorrectly updated.
* Linter
* hexdump: fixed type of retrieved config entry hexdump_group_use_big_endian
* Fixed test_hexdump_saved_address_and_offset test to account for random stack address
* Upgraded the linked-lists.c test program to 6 items in order to test the "deference-limit" setting
* Chain: changes to the deference-limit parameter were not reflected in the program due to an early cast to int()
* Linter
* Added support for `--offset` and `--count` for plist
* Added typing to commands.plist's prototype
* Updated documentation for plist tests
* Add informational message when plist --count is zero or under

* Improve ret instruction target address setting
* Green checkmarks for jumps on all architectures
* Fixed .next and .target setting
* All architectures now have correct logic for determining .next and .target. Green checkmarks for taking conditional branches now appear for all architectures, added things to determine that type of branch being taken, and simplified printing by replacing symbol_addr with new field 'target_string'

* Add jumps-only setting to emulation (on, off, jumps-only), fixes to chain deferencing and enhancing
* Properly dereference memory before and after execution of instructions, adding a new before_value_resolved field (same for after). This also reduces code duplication.

* post-rebase fixes
* Fix case the breaks a test - don't attempt to read larger than ptrsize such as in SIMD instruction memory reads

* Add a helper command to find valid one_gadget for current context
* Refactor the function for getting section address
* Rename the command to onegadget for more convenient typing
* Make the output format cleaner
* Add a simple cache mechanism for the one_gadget output
* Update the warning message
* Use MD5 instead of BLAKE2 for computing the file hash
I thought that BLAKE2 was faster than MD5, but it doesn't seem correct here somehow (probably because of the implementation of Python!?)
Here's the script I used for benchmarking:
```python
import hashlib
import timeit
def compute_file_hash_1() -> str:
h = hashlib.blake2b()
with open("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6", "rb") as f:
h.update(f.read())
return h.hexdigest()
def compute_file_hash_2() -> str:
h = hashlib.md5()
with open("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6", "rb") as f:
h.update(f.read())
return h.hexdigest()
print(timeit.timeit(compute_file_hash_1, number=1000))
print(timeit.timeit(compute_file_hash_2, number=1000))
```
I executed the above script on various machines, and the results seem to show that MD5 outperforms BLAKE2 in this scenario. (On my x86 VM running through QEMU on my M1 MacBook, BLAKE2 even takes almost twice as long as MD5.)

Previously test scripts would just indiscriminately kill all qemu
processes on the system. This would kill other debug sessions I had
running. These changes make the test scripts record the qemu pids they
run and only kill those.
The old scripts would also not allow you to specify a gdb port, so
if you were already running a debug session with port 1234, the tests
would fail. This update allows you to pass --gdb-port=NNNN to use a
non-default port. You can pass -Q to preserve failing qemu instances.
The scripts now also will show qemu errors to console, and will warn
the user if there is a qemu port conflict.
Also update gdb-pt-dump submodule as it has been updated recently to not
throw an exception when multiple qemu processes are running. The
exception thrown in the event of a failure also changed, so
this has also been updated on the pwndbg side.
* get_one_instruction: clear "cont" cache on mem/reg changed
Fixes#1818.
Note that this makes a substantial change: it changes all caches that
are refreshed on `gdb.ContinueEvent` to also be cleared on memory/regs
changed.
This change is needed so that the `get_one_instruction` function which
uses this cache will get its cache cleared when user invokes a command
that changes memory or registers.
While this may sound as too big change: we are changing the whole "cont"
cache to be cleared on two additional events, this should not be an
issue. This is because:
1. We should notice it if we start clearing an important cache too often
2. The "cont" cache is currently only used by the `get_one_instruction`
at this moment.
The 2) also creates a question: when should one use "cont" vs "start"
caches? It is not so clear to me right now.
* Add test for issue #1818
* Clear caches on MemoryChanged events from gdblib.write
Regarding the last part:
Interestingly implementing tests here uncovered another bug: the gdblib.memory.write(..) or rather the gdb.selected_inferior().write_memory(...) API used there does not trigger a gdb.MemoryChanged event. As a result, we never cleared certain caches that should have been cleared when the user used that API.
I have added two tests here, one changes the instructions at $RIP to nops via gdblib.memory.write(..) and another via executing the patch $rip nop;nop;nop;nop;nop command. As a result, we test both scenarios: 1) when we depend on memory changed event being fired via GDB to clear caches; and 2) when we depend on gdblib.memory.write(..) to clear the caches.
This PR also makes a fix to the gdblib.memory.write(..) to actually clear caches that depend on (or rather: are hooked to in order to be cleared) memory changed events.
* Fix glibc-fastbin-bug option of find_fake_fast
Using the find_fake_fast option --glibc-fastbin-bug always resulted in an error, at least on 64-bit platforms.
This was because the option caused only 4 bytes to be read for the size, but then that gets passed to unpack() which expects 8 bytes.

This commit adds a command that traverses the linked list beginning at a given
element, dumping its contents and the contents of all the elements that come
after it in the list. Traversal is configurable and can handle multiple types
of chains.
This commit adds the `break-if-taken` and `break-if-not-taken` commands,
which attach breakpoints to branch instructions that will stop the
inferior if said branch is taken or is not taken, respectively. It adds
an extra class, `pwndbg.gdblib.bpoint.Breakpoint`, which clears caches
before calling `stop()`, allowing for the use of register values inside
that function in breakpoint classes that derive from it. Additionally,
checking of whether the conditions for a branch to be taken have been
fulfilled is done through `DisassemblyAssistant.condition()`.
* Add `stepuntilasm` command
This commit adds a `stepuntilasm` command that, given a mnemonic and,
optionally, a set of operands, will step until a instruction that
matches both is found. Matching is string-based, as the user will likely
want to spell out the asm directive they want as text, and interpreting
assembly language conventions for all of the platforms pwndbg supports
is probably outside the scope of this change.

* Only run arch for testing
* Remove outdated arch repo
* Actually build the docker image
* Do not include site packages in sys.path
* Ignore `.relr.dyn` section; skip lines w/o spaces
Newer binaries can contain a `.relr.dyn` section to compress `R_X86_64_RELATIVE` relocation entries.
These binaries can be found for example on archlinux but also on Debian 12 for example.
`readelf` prints the content of the section similarly to this:
```
Relocation section '.relr.dyn' at offset 0x25220 contains 35 entries:
1198 offsets
00000000001ce8d0
00000000001ce8e0
```
Compared to `00000000001d2000 0000000000000025 R_X86_64_IRELATIVE 9f330` for
`.rela.plt`.
Pwndbg now chokes on the new format because it expects a space seperator where there is none.
It might be, that this is actually an upstream problem with binutils, because llvm-readelf prints this:
```
Relocation section '.relr.dyn' at offset 0x25220 contains 1198 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name
00000000001ce8d0 0000000000000008 R_X86_64_RELATIVE
00000000001ce8e0 0000000000000008 R_X86_64_RELATIVE
```
Nevertheless, we aren't actually interested in `R_X86_64_RELATIVE` relocations so I guess it's fine to
just skip all lines that contain no spaces at all.
`.relr.dyn` can only containt `R_X86_64_RELATIVE` relocations as far as I understand
https://maskray.me/blog/2021-10-30-relative-relocations-and-relr
* Accept Full RELRO in test
Archlinux has libc and ld with Full RELRO.
We now just accept Partial and Full RELRO.
* Do not copy binaries from host to docker
The `Dockerfile` copies the whole pwndbg folder to the image.
If we have built binaries on the host before, these binaries will contain references to
the host system and *copied* to the image.
If we now run `context code` (inside docker) to have a look at the source code this will
fail, because we will try to refer to a path on the host system.
* Do not use loop index after loop
Do not use loop index after the loop. The tests assumed that the loop in line 186
would run at least once, thereby *resetting* `i` to zero. If we never enter the
loop, `i` will *continue* to have the value it had at the end of line 172.
This will cause the test to fail in mysterious ways because `i` is now not reset
to zero but still has the value `31` for example.
The solution is to never use `i` outside of a loop.

* setup.sh: cleanup the --user flag since we use venv now
Cleans up the --user flag from setup.sh since it is unused after we changed setup.sh to install Python dependencies in a virtual environment
* Remove --user flag from CI workflows
* Fix codecov problem
We need to run the python `coverage` library to collect coverage.
However, gdb was failing to find it.
Recently, pwndbg moved to using venvs. When pwndbg is initialized
it setups the venv "manually", that is, no "source .venv/bin/activate"
is needed. When we run gdb tests, we pass the `gdbinit.py` of pwndbg as a
command to gdb to be executed like this:
`gdb --silent --nx --nh -ex 'py import coverage;coverage.process_startup()' --command PATH_TO_gdbinit.py`
The problem is that *order* matters. This means that *first* coverage
is imported (by `-ex py ...`) and only *then* the init script is executed.
When `coverage` is first imported, it's library search path only looks
in system libraries of python, and not the venv that gdbinit.py would load.
So we would try to import an old version of coverage and fail.
One solution would be to move around the commands, but this would be an
ugly hack IMHO. **Instead**, we should just tell gdb that this is an **init**
command that has to be executed before other commands.
Previously, the order did not matter. All of pwndbg's dependencies were
installed directly as system libraries to python. So the library search path
was the same before and after loading `gdbinit.py`.

This command allows the user to quickly kill multiple threads by
specyfying their ids as arguments to this command. It also supports

This commit adds a fix and tests for #1600 and #752.
* https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg/issues/1600
* https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg/issues/752
Generally, for an example like this:
```cpp
struct A {
void foo(int, int) { };
};
int main() {
A a;
a.foo(1, 1);
}
```
The output for `info symbol <address of A::foo>` returns:
```
'A::foo(int, int) [clone.isra.0] + 3 in section .text of /root/pwndbg/tests/gdb-tests/tests/binaries/a.out\n'
```
We then used this code to parse this:
```py
# Expected format looks like this:
# main in section .text of /bin/bash
# main + 3 in section .text of /bin/bash
# system + 1 in section .text of /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
# No symbol matches system-1.
a, b, c, _ = result.split(maxsplit=3)
if b == "+":
return "%s+%s" % (a, c)
if b == "in":
return a
return ""
```
The `result.split(maxsplit=3)` here splitted the string to:
```py
['A::foo(int,',
'int)',
'[clone.isra.0] + 3 in section .text of /root/pwndbg/tests/gdb-tests/tests/binaries/a.out\n']
```
And since `b` was not `"+"` or `"in"` we eventually returned an empty
string instead of the `A::foo(int, int)` which would be expected here.
* Fix the bug when using LD_PRELOAD to load libc
The heap heuristics will try to find `libc.so.6` in the output of `info sharedlibrary`, but if we load libc with `LD_PRELOAD`, the filename of the libc might not be `libc.so.6`.
* Add test for `glibc.get_libc_filename_from_info_sharedlibrary`
* Refactor `pwndbg.glibc`
- Add type hints
- Use `info sharedlibrary` to find libc
- Update the regex of libc filename
- Rename `get_data_address()` to `get_data_section_address()`
* Add a function to dump libc ELF file's .data section
* Use the new methods to find `main_arena` and `mp_`
With ELF of libc, we can use the default value of `main_arena` and `mp_` to find their address
* Drop some unreliable methods for the heap heuristics
* Update the tests for the heap heuristics
* Show `main_arena` address in the `arenas` command output
* Make the heap hueristics support statically linked targets
* Drop some deprecated TLS functions and refactor the command
- Drop some deprecated TLS functions for the deprecated heap heuristics
- Don't call `pthread_self()` in the `tls` command without `-p` option
- Show the page of TLS in the `tls` command output
* Update the hint for the heap heuristics for multi-threaded
* Fix the wrong usage of the exception
* Fix the outdated description
* Return the default global_max_fast when we cannot find the address
* Enhance the output of `arena` and `mp`
- Show the address of the arena we print in the output of `arena` command if we didn't specify the address by ourselves.
- Avoid the bug that `arena` command might get an error if thread_arena doesn't allocate yet.
- Show the address of `mp_` in the output of the `mp` command
* Remove wrong hint
* Support using brute-force to find the address of main_arena
If the user allows, brute-force the left and right sides of the TLS address to find the closest possible value to the TLS address.
* Refactor the code about thread_arena and add the new brute-force strategy
In the .got section, brute-force search for possible TLS-reference values to find possible thread_arena locations
* Add tests for thread_arena and global_max_fast
- Check if we can get default global_max_fast
- Check if we can use brute-force to find thread_arena
* Update the output of `arenas`
* Add the test for the `tls` command
Add two tests for the `tls` command:
```
test_tls_address_and_command[x86-64] PASSED
test_tls_address_and_command[i386] PASSED
```
* Update and refactor the heuristics for `thread_arena` and `tcache`
- We provide an option for users to brute force `tcache` like what we did for `thread_arena`
- Cache `thread_arena` even when we are single-threaded
- Refactor the code for `thread_arena`, to make it work for `tcache` as well
- Update the tests for `tcache`
- Remove some redundant hint
* Fix the wrong cache mechanism
Cache the address of the arena instead of the instance of `Arena`, because `Arena` will cache the value of the field, resulting in getting the old value the next time the same property is used
* Update the description of some configs about heap heuristics
* Handling the case when tcache is NULL
* Handling the case when thread_arena is NULL
* Fix a bug that occurred when the TLS address could not be found

* Enhance the checks before accessing the memory
- Use `pwndbg.gdblib.memory.peek()` instead of `pwndbg.gdblib.vmmap.find()` to check if the address is valid
- Directly access the memory when searching the `main_arena` in memory and catch the exception
* Make finding `main_arena` in memory more efficient and reliable
We only try the address that is aligned to `pwndbg.gdblib.arch.ptrsize`
* Avoid unnecessary memory accessing if possible
- Before we used `pwndbg.gdblib.memory.peek()` to check if an address is readable for GDB, we used `pwndbg.gdblib.vmmap.find()` to make sure that this address is in one of the pages, since accessing memory for embedded targets might be slow and expensive
- Create a new function: `is_readable_address` for `pwndbg.gdblib.memory`
* Fix wrong test for `main_arena`
The heap object should be reset before testing the multi-threaded condition
* Add the test to make sure the heap heuristics won't be affected by the vmmap result
Previously, we used `pwndbg.gdblib.vmmap.find()` to check whether the address is valid or not, but this might be a false positive for the address in the `[vsyscall]` page or in the page with a range from 0~0xffffffffffffffff (e.g. qemu-user).
This commit aims to include this scenario during the tests, to make sure the heap heuristics won't be affected by this.
* Use `gdb.MemoryError` instead of `Exception`
* Refactor TLS module
- Replace unreliable `__errno_location()` trick with `pthread_self()` to acquire TLS address
- Consolidate heap heuristics checks about TLS within the `pwndbg.gdblib.tls` module for better organization
* Bug fix for the `errno` command
Calling `__errno_location()` without locking the scheduler can cause another thread to inadvertently continue execution
* Refactor code about heap heuristics of thread-local variables
- Replace some checks with some functions in `pwndbg.gdblib.tls`
- Try to find tcache with `mp_.sbrk_base + 0x10` if the target is single-threaded

* Fix Arch CI: install missing netcat (#1400)
The arch linux test_command_procinfo was failing bcoz the netcat was not
installed on arch build. This commit fixes it by:
1) installing gnu-netcat for arch linux setup-dev.sh
2) asserting that nc is available in the test itself, to prevent similar
regressions from happening on future/newer images
* Fix Arch CI: the load binary tests (#1400)
Before this commit we asserted whether the loaded binary in tests report
to find or not find debug symbols but this is irrelevant for the thing
we want to test there which is: pwndbg loading. What eventually cares is
whether Pwndbg got loaded and didn't raise an exception.
This commit fixes those tests so they should now work also on ArchLinux
CI and on all CI builds.
Additionally, it removes the `compile_binary` test utility function
which was redundant as we compile all test binaries via a makefile.

The cymbol command did not work on old GDB versions like 8.2 because
they require the ADDR argument to be passed into the `add-symbol-file`
command unlike newer GDB versions in which the argument is optional.
This can be seen below.
```
pwndbg> help add-symbol-file
Load symbols from FILE, assuming FILE has been dynamically loaded.
Usage: add-symbol-file FILE ADDR [-readnow | -readnever | -s SECT-NAME SECT-ADDR]...
ADDR is the starting address of the file's text.
Each '-s' argument provides a section name and address, and
should be specified if the data and bss segments are not contiguous
with the text. SECT-NAME is a section name to be loaded at SECT-ADDR.
The '-readnow' option will cause GDB to read the entire symbol file
immediately. This makes the command slower, but may make future operations
faster.
The '-readnever' option will prevent GDB from reading the symbol file's
symbolic debug information.

* fix shlint
* Fix crash when unable to get ehdr and fix vmmap coredump test
This commit fixes two issues and test them.
1. It changes the reads in `get_ehdr` to partial reads so that inability
to read the `vmmap.start` address there will not crash Pwndbg with
`gdb.error` but instead we will simply return `None` as expected from
this function. This crash could happen on Debian 10 (GDB 8.2.1) and
Ubuntu 18.04 (not sure which GDB) when you did:
- gdb ./binary-that-crashes
- `run`
- `generate-core-file /tmp/core`
- `file` - to unload the binary
- `core-file /tmp/core` - to load the generated core
At this point I think we may have preserved the old vmmap info and use
it in `get_ehdr` maybe, which then crashed? I am not sure, but this fix
here works.
To test this behavior properly I also added the `unload_file`
parametrization to the
`test_command_vmmap_on_coredump_on_crash_simple_binary` test.
2. We fix the vmmap coredump test case when the `info proc mappings` returns nothing on core
dumps on old GDBs. In such case we are missing the vmmap info about
the binary mapping, so now we properly remove it in the test.
This fixes the weird error that appeared on debian10 CI:
```
root@98cc3841eab9:/pwndbg/tests/gdb-tests/tests/binaries# ld -Ttext 0x400000 -o memory.out memory.o
ld: section .note.gnu.property LMA [00000000004000e8,0000000000400107] overlaps section .text LMA [0000000000400000,00000000004001a4]
```
It turned out that the .note.gnu.property address was choosen to be the
same as our hardcoded .text address and so we got into this issue.
This PR hardcodes the gnu section address.

* prev property & __str__ method for Heap class
* heaps property for Arena class
* arenas command updated to reflect changes to Arena class
* Use deepcopy() in get_region() to avoid changing vmmap command output
* Import fiddling to deal with unrelated bug
* Attempt at integration with heap commands
With debug syms looks good, still issues to iron out with heuristics
* Remove redundant heap functions
* Remove redundant functions from tests
* Add system_mem property to Arena class
* thread_arena returns main_arena if single thread
* Fix some issues for GDB < 9.x
* GDB < 9.x doesn't have `gdb.lookup_static_symbol`
* GDB < 9.x doesn't have `gdb.PARAM_ZUINTEGER_UNLIMITED`
* Better error handling for the heap commands
* Inform users to `set exception-* on` when they encounter some error during using some heap commands
* Bug fix for heap region finding of `HeuristicHeap`
* Before this commit, `get_heap_boundaries()` of `HeuristicHeap` will always return the page whose name is `[heap]`, this won't work for multithreaded cases and won't work if the heap region of the main thread is not `[heap]` (e.g., when using QEMU, sometimes the name of heap region is something like: `[anon_deadbeaf]`)
* Fallback to `gdb.lookup_symbol` if we do not have `gdb.lookup_static_symbol`
* Add more features for `pwndbg.gdblib.config`
* Support all parameter-class
* Use `get_show_string` to render better output when using `show <param>`
* Show more information when using `help set <param>` and `help show <param>` if we create a config with `help_docstring` parameter.
Some examples of the updates included in this commit:
1. `gdb.PARAM_AUTO_BOOLEAN` with `help_docstring`
In Python script:
```
pwndbg.gdblib.config.add_param(
"test",
None,
"test",
"on == AAAA\noff == BBBB\nauto == CCCC",
gdb.PARAM_AUTO_BOOLEAN,
scope="test",
)
```
In GDB:
```
pwndbg> show test
The current value of 'test' is 'auto'
pwndbg> set test on
Set test to 'on'
pwndbg> set test off
Set test to 'off'
pwndbg> set test auto_with_typo
"on", "off" or "auto" expected.
pwndbg> show test
The current value of 'test' is 'off'
pwndbg> set test auto
Set test to 'auto'
pwndbg> show test
The current value of 'test' is 'auto'
pwndbg> help show test
Show test
on == AAAA
off == BBBB
auto == CCCC
pwndbg> help set test
Set test
on == AAAA
off == BBBB
auto == CCCC
```
2. `gdb.PARAM_AUTO_BOOLEAN` with `help_docstring`
In Python script:
```
pwndbg.gdblib.config.add_param(
"test",
"A",
"test",
"A == AAAA\nB == BBBB\nC == CCCC",
gdb.PARAM_ENUM,
["A", "B", "C"],
scope="test",
)
```
In GDB:
```
pwndbg> show test
The current value of 'test' is 'A'
pwndbg> set test B
Set test to 'B'
pwndbg> set test C
Set test to 'C'
pwndbg> set test D
Undefined item: "D".
pwndbg> show test
The current value of 'test' is 'C'
pwndbg> help show test
Show test
A == AAAA
B == BBBB
C == CCCC
pwndbg> help set test
Set test
A == AAAA
B == BBBB
C == CCCC
```
* Update the tests for gdblib parameter
* Use auto boolean for `safe-linking`
* Fix some comments
* Pass `help_docstring` directly
* Force callers of `add_param` to use keyword arguments
* Create `add_heap_param()` to avoid setting the scope of param everytime
* Add a header to the vmmap table
A simple header has been added to the output of vmmap which helps new users identify the columns.
* fix: lint
* fix: failing test
Adjust the length of expected vmmaps
* fix: tests again
* Fix parameter default values
Before this commit the created gdb.Parameter default values were not set
properly. Now, we set the object's .value field properly with the
provided default value.
* fix issue with set/show docstring
* fix lint
* fix lint
* fix lint
* fix parameter further...
* fix flake8 lint
* Increase CI timeout to 20 minutes
* Fixes: set context-sections '' and add more opts to set empty sections
The `validate_context_sections` function started to receive a string of
`"''"` after the changes in eabab31. Before those changes, it always
received an empty string (`""`).
I am not sure why this behavior changed in that commit, but the current
behavior resembles the native GDB behavior more. We can see this here on
a GDB native parameter:
```
(gdb) set exec-wrapper ''
(gdb) show exec-wrapper
The wrapper for running programs is "''".
```
And so we will keep this native behavior for our config variables for
now. But since this changed, I want to keep the old behavior of: `set
context-sections ''` working, and so this commit brings it.
Additionally, we also now allow setting empty context via multiple
values: empty string, empty quotations or double quotations and with
strings like `-` or `none`.
...and this commit comes with tests for this behavior so it will be
harder to introduce such issues anymore :)
