Although we can tell upfront whether a remote target supports target
side commands, we can only tell whether the target supports that in
combination with a given breakpoint kind (software, hardware,
watchpoints, etc.) when we go and try to insert such a breakpoint kind
the first time. It's not desirable to make remote_insert_breakpoint
simply return -1 in this case, because if the breakpoint was set in a
shared library, insert_bp_location will assume that the breakpoint
insertion failed because the library wasn't mapped in.
insert_bp_location already handles errors/exceptions thrown from the
target_insert_xxx methods, exactly so the backend can tell the user
the detailed reason the insertion of hw breakpoints failed. But, in
the case of software breakpoints, it discards the detailed error
message.
So the patch makes insert_bp_location use the error's message for SW
breakpoints too, and, introduces a NOT_SUPPORTED_ERROR error code so
that insert_bp_location doesn't confuse the error for failure due to a
shared library disappearing.
The result is:
(gdb) c
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 2: Target doesn't support breakpoints that have target side commands.

I have a case that could use an exception for "unsupported feature".
I found UNSUPPORTED_ERROR, but looking deeper, I think as is, reusing
it for other things would be fragile. E.g., if the Python script
sourced by source_script_from_stream triggers any other missing
functionality that would result in UNSUPPORTED_ERROR being propagated
out to source_script_from_stream, that would confuse the error for
Python not being built into GDB.
This patch thus redoes things a little. Instead of using an exception
for the "No Python" scenario, check whether Python is configured in
before actually trying to source the file. It adds a new function
instead of using #ifdef HAVE_PYTHON directly, as that is better at
avoiding bitrot, as both Python and !Python paths are visible to the
compiler this way.
Tested on Fedora 17, with and without Python.

... when trying to execute an undefined GDB/MI command. When trying
to execute a GDB/MI command which does not exist, the current error
result record looks like this:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported"
The only indication that the command does not exist is the error
message. It would be a little fragile for a consumer to rely solely
on the contents of the error message in order to determine whether
a command exists or not.
This patch improves the situation by adding concept of error
code, starting with one well-defined error code ("undefined-command")
identifying errors due to a non-existant command. Here is the new
output:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported",code="undefined-command"
This error code is only displayed when the corresponding error
condition is met. Otherwise, the error record remains unchanged.
For instance:
-symbol-list-lines foo.adb
^error,msg="-symbol-list-lines: Unknown source file name."
For frontends to be able to know whether they can rely on this
variable, a new entry "undefined-command-error-code" has been
added to the "-list-features" command. Another option would be
to always generate an error="..." variable (for the default case,
we could decide for instance that the error code is the empty string).
But it seems more efficient to provide that info in "-list-features"
and then only add the error code when meaningful.

This fixes PR python/15816.
The bug here is that python-selftest.exp can fail:
No symbol "RETURN_MASK_ALL" in current context.
RETURN_MASK_ALL is a macro, so if macros do not end up in the
debuginfo (very typical) then the test fails.
It seemed simplest to me to simply turn the RETURN_MASK_ defines into
enum constants. This way they end up in the debuginfo and all is
well.
PR python/15816:
* exceptions.h (return_mask): Now an enum.
(RETURN_MASK_QUIT, RETURN_MASK_ERROR, RETURN_MASK_ALL): Now
enum constants.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
A following patch will want to make the "gdbinit" global array const.
As usual, that forces in a cascading series of const additions. This
patch preemptively does those. I went all the way up to constifying
catch_command_errors, but then that would require constifying
execute_command as well (which is a much more significant effort). So
as stop point, I found the cleanest would be to add a variant of
catch_command_errors that takes const args, and use that in the few
spots that needed it due to the the get_init_files constification.
