Pending breakpoints in MI

Pending breakpoints in MI

[Vladimir Prus]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 492 bytes --]


At the moment, it's not possible to set pending breakpoint
via MI. This patch fixed it. Now if one does

	-break-insert -f symbol_in_shared_lib

GDB will create a pending breakpoint if symbol_in_shared_lib
is not yet seen. The -f stands for "future". We can't use -p
since that grabbed by thread option (which cannot be -t since that's
grabbed by temporary option). Apple branch uses -f as well,
as we might as well be compatible (even if the code is completely different).

OK?

Re: Pending breakpoints in MI

Volodya,

You forgot to provide a ChangeLog...

Here are my comments on your patch itself. It's mostly fine so we should
be able to check it in soon :).

I can't believe I'm saying this, since I absolutely hate tabs, but
these are the coding rules: You need to use a tab instead of 8 spaces
in the line above. Compare for instance how the "char **error_message"
line is indented.

Same here.

Likewise in the .h prototype.

Actually, I think that the entire comment needs to be rewritten
in a way that the syntax is not described there at all. Just say
that this function implements the -break-insert command which, as
its name suggests, inserts a breakpoint.  The syntax needs to be
documented in the GDB manual. See
http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_25.html#SEC259
for what is currently documented. Let's use this opportunity to
make sure that every option (and only the supported options) are
documented.

The indentation is strange, could you double-check it?

I think you need to replace some spaces with tabs here too...

Oops, sorry. Attached now -- there are three ChangeLog

It appears I've failed to re-configure Emacs properly after 
rearranging my local environment. I've fixed all instances now
(and one function which got space indenting in the previous patch).

I've done so. Eli, does the manual changes in the attached patch look
good to you?
