[rfa] Make get_number_or_range accept value history references

[rfa] Make get_number_or_range accept value history references

[Michael Snyder]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 147 bytes --]


I was under the impression that get_number would accept eg. "$1".
Turns out it doesn't.
This patch rectifies that, and adds tests to break.exp.

	* value.c (value_from_history_ref): New function.
	* value.h (value_from_history_ref): Export.
	* cli/cli-utils.c (get_number_trailer): Use value_from_history_ref
	to parse value history references.

2011-02-24  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@vmware.com>

	* gdb.base/break.exp: Add tests for delete breakpoints using
	convenience variables and value history references.

Is this correct for the ' '  and '\t' cases?  It looks
like it will accept "$ 3" as history value 3, but
it should parsed as "$" -- the last history value.

You're also not checking if the string is all
digits, so $123asdf is being accepted as $123, while
the language parsers treat that as an internal
variable.  Maybe you should take a look at write_dollar_variable,
and factor out or borrow code from there to avoid these
discrepancies?

It's worse than that.  I have to think about all the characters that a
user might type here, if they didn't know better.  Ugh.

Thanks.

I now noticed linespec.c:decode_dollar also does
the same thing, another candidate for refactoring/reuse.

What does the _ref mean in value_from_history_ref?

This is not a badly formed history value.  It's a user
convenience variable.  I'd make the test check that
such convenience variables work as intended.

Otherwise looked fine.  Thanks again.

I'll look at it as a separate pass.

History reference.

I did add such a test.
