more cleanup removal, particularly in MI

more cleanup removal, particularly in MI

[Tom Tromey]

This series removes more cleanups.

The first patch is generic, but the remaining patches focus on
removing cleanups from MI.  It doesn't completely remove cleanups from
MI, but does make significant progress toward that goal.

Regression tested on the buildbot.

OK.

IMO, it'd be even better to build the std::string directly
instead of building an obstack and then dupping the string.

This comment talks about qsort.  It should be updated to mention
std::sort instead, since the logic is different.

I'd swap the comparisons to put the cheap addr comparison first.

I'd write 'const ada_exc_info &', just for general use-const-if-possible
reasons.

Ditto.

std::set always gives me pause.  For small objects like int,
and when the use case is insertion phase + lookup phase + discard set,
unsorted inserting into a vector, sorting, and then binary searching
the vector for lookuups is very likely to have better performance, for
cache locality reasons, and also because fewer allocations (with
std::set being a node-based container...)

But it's likely that in this case it doesn't really matter, so let's
go with the simplicity argument.

(At some point I may propose some data structure on top of
std::vector for use cases like this.)

Patch is OK as is.

We have discussed something like this with Sergio in this thread:

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-07/msg00434.html

(you can ctrl-f "boilerplate")

We managed to sneak in an std::set while you were not looking/on 
vacation :).  The idea was that the std::set interface really helped to 
keep the code clean and short, and that we could later implement 
something with the same behavior and interface as std::set, but based on 
a vector.  It's a bit different than what you propose, because to be a 
drop-in replacement for a set, we would always keep the vector sorted 
(insert the new elements where they belong).  IIUC, what you propose is 
to insert everything and then sort it.  I think the latter has a better 
worst-case performance (sorting at the end is n*log(n)) compared to the 
former (insertion in reverse order will become n^2).  I don't think it 
matters much though, since this data structure would be explicitly for 
relatively small amount of items.

I am not sure if the reasoning is different for a set of string (as in 
common/environ.{h,c}).  I assume it would be similar, since the actual 
string object is rather small, and when inserting a string in the 
middle, the following strings will be moved one position and not copied 
(I haven't verified though).

I think the condition is the wrong way, it should be == and not !=.  It 
probably means we don't have a test for this feature.

Yes, I think you're right.  Changing it to == doesn't affect the gdb.mi

[RFA 06/11] Change some gdb_* functions to use a std::string out parameter

[Tom Tromey]

This changes a few gdb_* functions to use a std::string out parameter.
Perhaps these functions should just go away entirely; I think they're
vesitiges of a now-defunct libgdb plan.

I think it's better to drop this one and go with the full removal

I think I'd have written instead:

  data.resize (count_units * unit_size)

But OK either way.

[RFA 08/11] Use string and unique_xmalloc_ptr in mi-main.c

Change a couple of spots in mi-main.c to use std::string or

is writeable; I generally prefer to pretend that string is read-only,
perhaps not for a good resaon.

Yes, I think not for a good reason.  :-)  You can
pass &str[0] to execute_command get access to the underlying
modifiable raw string.  See b064640146bb for example.

I think the above would look better with std::string + string_printf.

How about replacing this string building + field_string with a single
call to:

	    uiout->field_fmt ("name", "$%s", tsv->name);

I tried to see if it was safe, and I think it is.  I wondered whether
the command to be executed could itself run an MI command with a token,
and whether that'd clobber the original token.  Like, e.g. (contrived):

 321-interpreter-exec mi "123-thread-info"

we currently get:

 123^done,threads=[]
 321^done
 (gdb)

Looks like that's OK because we create a separate parse object for each
of the commands.

[RFA 03/11] Remove cleanups from mi-cmd-var.c

[Tom Tromey]

This removes some cleanups from mi-cmd-var.c.  varobj_gen_name now
returns a string, simplifying mi_cmd_var_create.  In
mi_cmd_var_delete, a string copy is apparently unnecessary, so it's
simply removed.

name was a deep copy of argv[0] up to here.  That copy
appears unnecessary, if you write it like this:

  std::string name;

  if (strcmp (argv[0], "-") == 0)
    name = varobj_gen_name ();
  else if (!isalpha (*argv[0]))
    error (_("-var-create: name of object must begin with a letter"));
  else
    name = argv[0];

There's still a deep copy in that last else above.
We should be able to get rid of that like this:

  const char *name;
  std::string gen_name;

  if (strcmp (argv[0], "-") == 0)
    {
      gen_name = varobj_gen_name ();
      name = gen_name.c_str ();
    }
  else if (!isalpha (*argv[0]))
    error (_("-var-create: name of object must begin with a letter"));
  else
    name = argv[0];

Otherwise OK.
