[PATCH 0/7] Inline Function Optimised Code Debug Improvements

[Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>]

This series presents some improvements to debugging inline functions,
especially in optimised code.

The first two patches of this series have been posted previously here:

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/cover.1736865029.git.aburgess@redhat.com

This series replaces that earlier work, though the patches are
basically unchanged.

This entire series is an alternative solution to the patches that were
posted here:

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/AS1PR01MB946510286FBF2497A6F03E83E4922@AS1PR01MB9465.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com/

My reasons for writing an alternative patch set can be found in the
commit messages of patches (2) and (7), I'm not going to repeat them
here.  However, Bernd, the original patch author, did amazing work
identifying the problems GDB was having, and these patches likely
wouldn't exist without the original patch series, so a big thanks
there.

For reviewing, this series can be considered in 3 parts:

  + Patches (1) and (2) are independent from the rest of the series,
    though related in theme.  Both these patches could be approved and
    merged ahead of remaining work, and do offer an improvement to GDB
    on their own.

  + Patches (3), (4), (5), and (6) are refactoring work to support the
    last patch.  These can be reviewed, but shouldn't be merged until
    the last patch is approved.

  + Patch (7) covers the final parts of this work, which deal with
    non-empty inline functions.

All thoughts and feedback are welcome.

Thanks,
Andrew
