[PATCH 0/1] gdb: add 'set print shadowed' to hide shadowed variables

[Stephan Rohr <stephan.rohr@intel.com>]

From: "Rohr, Stephan" <stephan.rohr@intel.com>

Hello all,

this patch adds a new setting 'set print shadowed on|off' to control
whether shadowed variables are printed by 'info locals'.  The default
is 'on', matching current behaviour.

The patch was originally written by Eduard Sargsyan; I rebased to the
current master.

It is a follow-up to the original RFC:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-November/203961.html
and Kevin's response:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-November/203973.html

It depends on Abdul's preliminary series, which was merged recently:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2026-July/228668.html

Regression tested on x86_64 Ubuntu 22 with the native, native gdbserver
and extended gdbserver targets; no regressions.

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks
Stephan
