In this v3:

  * Changed get_next_pcs signature.

  * CORE_ADDR is now in linux-low.h temporarely.

This patch in preparation for software single step support on ARM. It refactors
breakpoint_reinsert_addr into get_next_pcs so that multiple location can be
returned.

When software single stepping there can be multiple possible next addresses
because we're stepping over a conditional branch instruction for example.

The operation get_next_pcs handles that by returning a vector of all the
possible next addresses.

Software breakpoints are installed at each location returned.



Thanks for doing this.  This interface does look cleaner to me, and a
more direct mapping C++ (so easier to clean up in the future).


Indeed thanks for the idea!


+/* Install breakpoints for software single stepping.  */
+
+static void
+install_software_single_step_breakpoints (struct lwp_info *lwp)
+{
+  int i;
+  CORE_ADDR pc;
+  struct regcache *regcache = get_thread_regcache (current_thread, 1);
+  VEC (CORE_ADDR) *next_pcs = NULL;

I think this should be freed with a cleanup.

+
+  pc = get_pc (lwp);
+  next_pcs = (*the_low_target.get_next_pcs) (pc, regcache);
+
+  for (i = 0; VEC_iterate (CORE_ADDR, next_pcs, i, pc); ++i)
+    {
+      set_reinsert_breakpoint (pc);
+    }

Single-line statements don't get braces.


Done, learning the style :)

Thank you,
Antoine
