Make "break foo" find "A::foo", A::B::foo", etc. [C++ and wild matching]
This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes (namespaces and classes) by default. Here's a contrived example: (gdb) b func<tab> (anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int) (anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function() (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function() (anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) (anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func() A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function() A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func() B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function() B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int) B::function() const func() gdb::function(long) B::function_const() const function() (gdb) b function Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations) (gdb) b B::function<tab> (anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function() (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() (gdb) b B::function Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations) To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q") option/flag (added by this commit). For example: (gdb) b B::function (anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function() (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() vs: (gdb) b -qualified B::function B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or "fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function". Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit locations. I.e., these are equivalent: (gdb) b -q func (gdb) b -q -f func and so are these: (gdb) b -q filename.cc:func (gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func (gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func (gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default, consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically. (At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the "llvm" namespace.) Implementation-wise, what the patch does is: - makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by last-component name only). - adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD, which ignores missing leading specifiers / components. - adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when they mean it. - adds new testsuite tests. - adds unit tests. Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this: -# of expected passes 7823 +# of expected passes 8977 gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS: Mention that breakpoints on C++ functions are now set on on all namespaces/classes by default, and mention "break -qualified". * ax-gdb.c (agent_command_1): Adjust to pass a symbol_name_match_type to new_linespec_location. * breakpoint.c (parse_breakpoint_sals): Adjust to get_linespec_location's return type change.
