- Subject: [RFC] Make solib_add regex-free
Hi,
While working on the lazy debuginfo reading patch, I started to dislike
the way `solib_add' handles the list of shared libraries to have their
symbols read. It basically takes a regex as a first argument, and
matches the current so_list against it.
Well, this is not elegant IMO, especially because I believe the only
place which uses this regex feature is the `sharedlibrary' command.
Now suppose you're not the `sharedlibrary' command, and you already have
a `struct so_list *' that you want to load symbols from (happened to
me). What you would do? Call `solib_add' with the so->name, right?
Well, I did that, and it worked, but Jan has pointed me to a problem
that might happen: in order to call `solib_add' correctly, you would
have to treat the so->name as a regex, i.e., escape symbols and
whatnot. This is a pain and, IMO, error-prone.
That is why I decided to make `solib_add' take a list of `struct so_list
*' (stored in a VEC). I believe this is much more elegant and will
probably help clarify the code.
As for the `sharedlibrary' command, I decided to make a new function
which compiles a regex, matches it against the current so_list, and
return a list containing all the shlibs which will have their symbols
loaded. In order to get an up-to-date list of shared libs, I had to
call `update_solib_list' inside this new function, which made me break
`solib_add' in two functions to avoid calling `update_solib_list'
twice.
I tested this patch on the compile farm, without regressions.
Is this OK to check-in?

* solib-irix.c (irix_solib_create_inferior_hook): Uncast `solib_add'
first argument.
* solib-osf.c (osf_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
* solib-sunos.c (sunos_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
* solib.c (solib_add_1): New function which does not call
`update_solib_list'.
(solib_add): Split. Call `update_solib_list' and then call
`solib_add_1' to do the hard work. Receive new argument `so_list'.
Delete `pattern' argument.
(solib_match_regex_solist): New function.
(sharedlibrary_command): Call `solib_match_regex_solist' to obtain
a list of shared libraries to have their symbols loaded.
* solib.h: Include "vec.h".
(so_list_p): New type.
(solib_add): Update declaration; receive `VEC(so_list_p) *' as first
argument.
