[RFA/commit/testcase] "info line" should not skip prologues (was: "Re: GDB 7.4 branching status? (2011-11-23)")


This is an issue that I discovered in your previous set of patches, but
got fixed in this iteration :-). Nonetheless, I wrote a testcase,
so I'm sending it here.  I think I should commit it independenly
of your series.

I had described the problem as follow:

>     The "info line" command skips function prologues, but it shouldn't.
>     Consider for instance the new testcase provided with this patch.
>     The code looks like this:
>     
>         17
>         18  int twice (int i) { /* THIS LINE */
>         19    /* We purposefully put the return type, function prototype and
>         20       opening curly brace on the same line, in an effort to make sure
>         21       that the function prologue would be associated to that line.  */
>         22    return 2 * i;
>         23  }
>     
>     Without this patch, GDB would report the following address range
>     for line 18:
>     
>         (gdb) info line 18
>         Line 18 of "[...]/infoline.c" is at address 0x40049b <twice+7>
>             but contains no code.
>     
>     The indicator that the prologue was skipped comes from the fact that
>     the address chosen is at twice+7, not twice+0.
