As a preparation for the next patch, which will move fork_inferior
from GDB to common/ (and therefore share it with gdbserver), it is
interesting to convert a few functions to C++.
This patch touches functions related to parsing command-line arguments
to the inferior (see gdb/fork-child.c:breakup_args), the way the
arguments are stored on fork_inferior (using std::vector instead of
char **), and the code responsible for dealing with argv also on
gdbserver.
I've taken this opportunity and decided to constify a few arguments to
fork_inferior/create_inferior as well, in order to make the code
cleaner. And now, on gdbserver, we're using xstrdup everywhere and
aren't checking for memory allocation failures anymore, as requested
by Pedro:

IMO this refactoring was very good to increase the readability of the
code as well, because some parts of the argument handling were
unnecessarily confusing before.

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.

This commit introduces a new inline common function "startswith"
which takes two string arguments and returns nonzero if the first
string starts with the second. It also updates the 295 places
where this logic was written out longhand to use the new function.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/common-utils.h (startswith): New inline function.
All places where this logic was used updated to use the above.
This patch moves safe_strerror from the gdb/{posix,mingw}-hdep.c files
to the respective common/{posix,mingw}-strerror.c files. This is a
preparation for the next patch, which shares a common code (to disable
address space randomization when creating a new inferior).
The patch has been regtested on Fedora 20 x86_64, and no regressions
were found.

All source files under gdb/ that include headers from gdb/ include
either defs.h or server.h before any other code with the exception
of gdb/gdbserver/gdbreplay.c which seems to be a special case. Both
defs.h and server.h include both our and gnulib's config.h files as
their first non-comment line, so no other file ever needs to directly
include any config.h. This commit removes two such direct config.h
includes.

2014-07-30 Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>
* common/common-utils.h: Do not include config.h.
* nat/linux-btrace.h: Likewise.
The ARI script flagged the use of the __func__ variable, which
is normally not allowed (not defined in C90). However, this particular
use is OK, as the reference is only made when __STDC_VERSION__ >=
199901L. So, add an "ARI:" comment to explicitly OK this use.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/common-utils.h: Add "ARI:" comment beside __func__
reference.
While looking at this macro, I noticed that it wasn't always necessarily
defined. That prompted me to search the current sources to make sure
that all uses were adequately protected, which they were. But to help
prevent future uses to be made unprotected, this patch expands the
current macro documentation a bit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/common-utils.h (FUNCTION_NAME): Expand the macro's
documentation a bit.
This makes gdbserver share gdb's savestring, instead of baking its own.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.
gdb/
2013-02-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* utils.c (savestring): Don't #undef it. Move function to
common/common-utils.c.
* common/common-utils.c: Include gdb_string.h.
(savestring): Move here from utils.c.
* common/common-utils.h (savestring): Declare.
gdb/gdbserver/
2013-02-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* tracepoint.c (save_string): Delete.
(add_tracepoint_action): Use savestring instead of save_string.
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
