I've appended the patch. It adds a new sort of value, which is an internal function. These are just like ordinary functions in an expression but they run inside gdb -- not the inferior. The user sees them as convenience variables of "internal function" type. This patch builds but, because it is divorced from the code that uses it, I did not test it. So, if you try it, let me know how it fails :) BTW -- I noticed that with your patch, an expression using $in_scope will not print properly. That is because in_scope is turned into a constant in the expression structure. Thiago -- FYI, I took the patch from the python-patches branch, deleted stuff relying on things not yet in cvs (command destructors and Python), and then wrote comments and a ChangeLog entry. You may want the latter :) Tom b/gdb/ChangeLog: 2008-07-29 Tom Tromey * value.h (lookup_only_internalvar, create_internalvar, lookup_internalvar): Update.
