I did yet a bit more work on:

 <http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-06/msg00374.html>

This converts all breakpoint kinds to the breakpoint_ops
mechanism.

IMO, this is committable as is.  WDYT?

There's a lot left to do still.  E.g.: The print_one method
is still left behind; insert/removal could do with better
abstracting; a lot of tangling revealed by the need for 
special checks of tracepoint/watchpoint types at inner layers
of breakpoint creation; there are many places that still
switch on the breakpoint's type, as there's no breakpoint_ops
equivalent for what they're doing.

No regressions for me, native or gdbserver x86_64-linux.

I read through them all.  I think this is a great series.  Please check
it in.

I'm not particularly fond of patch #4, but I understand why you did it,
and I agree that statically initialized vtables are a pain -- I am often
grepping for all instances and hoping I haven't missed one.  (I wish we
could require designated initializers for these so I could more easily
search for field names...)

I think we could make most of the vtable pointers (but not objects due
to the initialization approach) const.  I think that would help clarity
a bit.  I'm happy to do this after these patches go in.

Great, thanks.  I've applied the series now.

Patch appended.  Built and regtested by the buildbot.
I'm committing it.

I think it is great.  It clears up several (dozen) ambiguities with
breakpoint operations.  I don't think this will affect the Python
breakpoint_ops work (other than some refactoring, but we'll come to that
bridge when your work is checked in).  

Thanks for this patch.

Cheers,

Phil

Yeah, I don't think your current patch would need more than a
some trivial updates, but then again, I did leave the print_one
method behind in this conversion, which was the method that
I raised having the issue that doesn't seem to fit for gdb's own
breakpoints currently, so we should clean that up before
considering exposing it as public API.

I have been thinking on your comments quite a bit in the last few
weeks, and about external facing APIs in general.  I don't think it is
sensible to make 1:1 mappings of these breakpoint_ops APIs
to Python.  I think "print_one" "print_it" mean nothing to a Python
scripting user.  I've come to the conclusion that we should abstract
these functions to concepts a Python scripter can better understand.  So
"print_one" will not be directly exposed as before.  The Python API,
will end up calling print_one, sure, but there will (I hope) be
sufficient levels of abstraction that any future refactoring will be
coped with internally.  We already massage the data to-and-from GDB
extensively anyway, so it makes better sense to the user.  

So my plan is to submit a patch after yours is checked in, with the new
APIs.  We can look again, then, if it makes sense at that point, and if
any future refactorings of print_one will really matter to the user from
an API perspective.

Cheers,

Phil
