[python][patch] Inferior and Thread information support.


This patch adds Python support to inferiors and threads.  The support
is purely informational (I.E., does not support GDB control of the
inferior).  This patch was checked in by Thiago to the Archer branch
last year, and largely remains as it was there.  I've adjusted it to
work with the current GDB view, bug fixes, and the usual work that
goes on in merging code.

Tested on x8664 with no regressions

OK?

Cheers

Phil

+@subsubsection Inferiors In Python
+
+Programs which are being run under @value{GDBN} are called inferiors
+(@pxref{Inferiors and Programs}).  Python scripts can access
+information about and manipulate inferiors controlled by @value{GDBN}
+via objects of the @code{gdb.Inferior} class.
+
+The following inferior-related functions are available in the @code{gdb}
+module:
+
+@defun inferiors
+Return a tuple containing all inferior objects.
+@end defun
+
+A @code{gdb.Inferior} object has the following attributes:
+
+@table @code
+@defivar Inferior num
+ID of inferior, as assigned by GDB.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar Inferior pid
+Process ID of the inferior, as assigned by the underlying operating
+system.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar Inferior was_attached
+Boolean signaling whether the inferior was created using `attach', or
+started by @value{GDBN} itself.
+@end defivar
+@end table
+
+A @code{gdb.Inferior} object has the following methods:
+
+@table @code
+@defmethod Inferior threads
+This method returns a tuple holding all the threads which are valid
+when it is called.  If there are no valid threads, the method will
+return an empty list.
+@end defmethod
+
+@findex gdb.read_memory
+@defmethod Inferior read_memory @var{address} @var{length}
+Read @var{length} bytes of memory from the inferior, starting at
+@var{address}.  Returns a buffer object, which behaves much like an array
+or a string.  It can be modified and given to the @code{gdb.write_memory}
+function.
+@end defmethod
+
+@findex gdb.write_memory
+@defmethod Inferior write_memory @var{address} @var{buffer} @r{[}@var{length}@r{]}
+Write the contents of @var{buffer} (a Python object which supports the
+buffer protocol, i.e., a string, an array or the object returned from
+@code{gdb.read_memory}) to the inferior, starting at @var{address}.
+If given, @var{length} determines the number of bytes from @var{buffer} to
+be written.
+@end defmethod
+
+@findex gdb.search_memory
+@defmethod Inferior search_memory @var{address} @var{length} @var{pattern} @r{[}@var{size}@r{]} @r{[}@var{max_count}@r{]}
+Search a region of the inferior memory starting at @var{address} with the
+given @var{length}.  @var{pattern} can be a string, a byte array, a buffer
+object, a number, a @code{gdb.Value} object (@pxref{Values From Inferior})
+or a list or tuple with elements in any combination of those types.  If
+@var{size} is given and is non-zero, it specifies the size in bytes of a
+Python scalar or @code{gdb.Value} in the search pattern.  If @var{size} is
+zero or not specified, it is taken from the value's type in the current
+language.  This is useful when one wants to specify the search pattern as
+a mixture of types.  Note that this means, for example, that in the case of
+C-like languages a search for an untyped 0x42 will search for
+@samp{(int) 0x42} which is typically four bytes.  @var{max_count} is the
+highest number of matches to search for.

+
+@node Threads In Python
+@subsubsection Threads In Python
+
+Python scripts can access information about, and manipulate inferior threads
+controlled by @value{GDBN}, via objects of the @code{gdb.InferiorThread} class.
+
+The following thread-related functions are available in the @code{gdb}
+module:
+
+@findex gdb.selected_thread
+@defun selected_thread
+This function returns the thread object for the selected thread.  If there
+is no selected thread, this will return @code{None}.
+@end defun
+
+A @code{gdb.InferiorThread} object has the following attributes:
+
+@table @code
+@defivar InferiorThread num
+ID of the thread, as assigned by GDB.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar InferiorThread ptid
+ID of the thread, as assigned by the operating system.  This attribute is a
+tuple containing three integers.  The first is the Process ID (PID); the second
+is the Lightweight Process ID (TID), and the third is the Thread ID (TID).
+Either the TID or TID may be 0, which indicates that the operating system
+does not  use that identifier.
+@end defivar
+@end table
+
+A @code{gdb.InferiorThread} object has the following methods:
+
+@table @code
+@defmethod InferiorThread frames
+Return a tuple containing all frames in the thread.
+@end defmethod
+
+@defmethod InferiorThread newest_frame
+Return the newest frame thread's stack.
+@end defmethod
+
+@defmethod InferiorThread switch
+This changes @value{GDBN}'s currently selected thread to the one represented
+by this object.
+@end defmethod
+
+@defmethod InferiorThread is_stopped
+Return a Boolean indicating whether the thread is stopped.
+@end defmethod
+
+@defmethod InferiorThread is_running
+Return a Boolean indicating whether the thread is running.
+@end defmethod

+@defmethod InferiorThread is_exited
+Return a Boolean indicating whether the thread is exited.
