Re: [RFC]: pending break support


I was the last person with my fingers in this code, so I'll review
this.

This is fine.  What to do with other shared objects containing the
symbol should be orthogonal to pending-ness.  I.e. if you want both
libfoo.so:func and libbar.so:func, you probably want app:func too if
there is one.  This is a separate problem for the future.

This is also fine - another interface issue for the future.

This sounds like a great solution for the moment, while we're only
generating one breakpoint.  This moment may last quite a while.

You'll need to run this past Elena as the linespec maintainer.  It
looks plausible (though ugly) to me.  It would be nice if we could
easily suppress all error messages using one of the catch* functions
but it doesn't look like we can at the moment.

> Please let me know if it ok to commit?

Specific comments on the patch below.  The general overview is OK but
details need work.  Also, I think this patch is too big to go in as one
piece.  Could you do it as at least three:
  - linespec changes
  - Convert current enable_state checks to a function (see below)
  - the rest
?  It won't be much work to separate them, and it'll be easier to
proofread for everybody.  Plus the earlier ones can go in while we work
on details of the last one.

Since you need to touch most of these checks anyway, how about a
functon for the test?  I think it should be:

static int
breakpoint_enabled (struct breakpoint *b)
{
  return b->enable_state == bp_enabled && !b->pending;
}

This one becomes:
  if (!breakpoint_enabled (bpt->owner))

It's not clear what to do with permanent breakpoints (I don't think
that should be an enable state, long term!) so I chose the version with
minimal textual changes.  If you'll do this in a separate patch you can
do it without the && !b->pending, and add that in the third patch,
making this a standalone cleanup.

This would be
  if (!breakpoint_enabled (b) && !b->enable_state == bp_permanent)
    continue;
since there are only five enable states and that's what it's really
asking for.

I'm curious what effect this will have on MI consumers.  Also, the
resulting MI output will be somewhat gruesome with the embedded spaces.
Maybe:
	ui_out_field_string (uiout, "addr", "<PENDING>");
	ui_out_text (uiout, "addr", "  ");
but I'm not sure that works without testing it.

The other possible alternative is not outputting addr at all for
MI-like uiouts.  May be better to do this (more flexible).

That seems redundant.  We've already said that the breakpoint is
pending.  Why not have:

  else if (b->pending && b->cond_string)
    {
      annotate_field (7);
      ui_out_text (uiout, "\tstop only if ");
      ui_out_field_string (uiout, "cond", b->cond_string);

Sure, I guess this is OK.  That use of b->loc->address is broken already
- many things do not use the address field, you have to check the
breakpoint type first.  But it's mostly harmless and will be cleaned up
later.

This is gross, but acceptable.  However, you need cleanups.  Anywhere
in GDB that you massage evil global state to make a function call,
you'll need a cleanup chain to restore the state; if the breakpoint
fails to insert the error() call below will leave the language
incorrect.

This, on the other hand, is not OK.  First of all you're wasting work -
you parse the breakpoint location twice.  Then you go grubbing around
in the breakpoint chain looking for it, which assumes it will be added
at the end of the chain - it will, but that sort of detail shouldn't be
exposed.  And break_command_1 can currently create multiple
breakpoints, so you'll get that wrong too.

decode_line_1 can end up prompting the user; you should have a testcase
for that and make sure it does something sane.  Easiest way is probably
to put it in gdb.cp using an overloaded function.  All set breakpoints
should get the condition and commands.

Can you arrange for most of this function to happen inside
break_command_1, possibly by giving it a pending breakpoint as an
optional argument?  Other ideas?

No, use ALL_BREAKPOINTS_SAFE and you can get rid of del_b.

No, find another way to do this.  Just because GDB isn't properly
translated is no reason to make it even worse, and I don't want to
change the wording on an error message and discover that it breaks a
feature.  You may need to get a proper error code out of linespec -
hoist the existing error calls up a level and provide an entry point
which returns success/failure/reason.

I'm still not really happy with this wording.  What does that mean? 
Plus, it'll look really out of place if we don't have shared library
support.

The cast is not necessary nowadays.  There are also a number of
functions for doing this, which don't suffer from the off-by-one error
above :)  Try xstrdup instead.

Is addr_string guaranteed to still be NULL at this point, or are we
leaking?

Sure this is necessary?  If we resolve the breakpoint successfully,
