Maciej W. Rozycki 471b9d1507 GDB PR tdep/8282: MIPS: Wire in `set disassembler-options'
Implement MIPS target support for passing options to the disassembler,
complementing commit 65b48a8140 ("GDB: Add support for the new
set/show disassembler-options commands.").

This includes options that expect an argument, so adjust the generic
code and data structures used so as to handle such options.  So as to
give backends syntax flexibility no specific delimiter has been defined
to separate options from their respective arguments, so it has to be
included as the last character of the option name.  Completion code
however has not been adjusted and consequently option arguments cannot
be completed at this time.

Also the MIPS target has non-empty defaults for the options, so that ABI
names for the general-purpose registers respect our `set mips abi ...'
setting rather than always being determined from the ELF headers of the
binary file selected.  Handle these defaults as implicit options, never
shown to the user and always prepended to the user-specified options, so
that the latters can override the defaults.

The resulting output for the MIPS target is as follows:

(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''

The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:

  no-aliases      Use canonical instruction forms.

  msa             Recognize MSA instructions.

  virt            Recognize the virtualization ASE instructions.

  xpa             Recognize the eXtended Physical Address (XPA) ASE
                  instructions.

  ginv            Recognize the Global INValidate (GINV) ASE instructions.

  gpr-names=ABI   Print GPR names according to specified ABI.
                  Default: based on binary being disassembled.

  fpr-names=ABI   Print FPR names according to specified ABI.
                  Default: numeric.

  cp0-names=ARCH  Print CP0 register names according to specified architecture.
                  Default: based on binary being disassembled.

  hwr-names=ARCH  Print HWR names according to specified architecture.
                  Default: based on binary being disassembled.

  reg-names=ABI   Print GPR and FPR names according to specified ABI.

  reg-names=ARCH  Print CP0 register and HWR names according to specified
                  architecture.

  For the options above, the following values are supported for "ABI":
    numeric 32 n32 64

  For the options above, the following values are supported for "ARCH":
    numeric r3000 r3900 r4000 r4010 vr4100 vr4111 vr4120 r4300 r4400 r4600
    r4650 r5000 vr5400 vr5500 r5900 r6000 rm7000 rm9000 r8000 r10000 r12000

(gdb)

which corresponds to what `objdump --help' used to print for the MIPS
target, with minor formatting changes, most notably option argument
lists being wrapped, but also the amount of white space separating
options from the respective descriptions.  The relevant part the new
code is now also used by `objdump --help', which means these formatting
changes apply to both outputs, except for argument list wrapping, which
is GDB-specific.

This also adds a separating new line between the heading and option
lists where descriptions are provided, hence:

(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''

The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:

  esa         Disassemble in ESA architecture mode
  zarch       Disassemble in z/Architecture mode
  insnlength  Print unknown instructions according to length from first two bits
(gdb)

but:

(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''

The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:
  403, 405, 440, 464, 476, 601, 603, 604, 620, 7400, 7410, 7450, 7455, 750cl,

(gdb)

Existing affected target backends have been adjusted accordingly.

This has been verified manually with:

(gdb) set architecture arm
(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit

to cause no issues with the `show disassembler-options' and `set
disassembler-options' commands.  A test case for the MIPS target has
also been provided, covering the default settings with ABI overrides as
well as disassembler option overrides.

Petr Tesarik ed6dfe517e Make add-symbol-file's address argument optional
The (first) .text section must be always specified as the second
non-option argument.  The documentation states that GDB cannot
figure out this address by itself.  This is true if the object file
was indeed relocated, but it is also confusing, because all other
sections can be omitted and will use the address provided by BFD.

Tom de Vries 74fdb8ff70 [gdb] Fixup incomplete patch 0dbfed25e9 2018-06-14 22:31:41 +02:00
Tom de Vries 0dbfed25e9 [gdb] Add 'Concept Index' entry '&' for background execution
GDB's execution commands have a foreground and background variant: f.i.,
there's 'continue' and 'continue&', and both are listed individually in the
'Command, Variable, and Function Index'.  But the '&' is not listed in the
'Concept Index' as being connected with the concept background execution.

This patch adds an '&' in the 'Concept Index':
...
 * $_, $__, and value history:            Memory.             (line  119)
+* &, background execution of commands:   Background Execution.
+                                                             (line   16)
 * --annotate:                            Mode Options.       (line  121)
...
pointing to this line in 'Background Execution':
...
   To specify background execution, add a '&' to the command.
...

Gary Benson 5045b3d789 linux: Add maintenance commands to test libthread_db
This commit adds two new commands which may be used to test thread
debugging libraries used by GDB:

  * "maint check libthread-db" tests the thread debugging library GDB
     is using for the current inferior.

  * "maint set/show check-libthread-db" selects whether libthread_db
     tests should be run automatically as libthread_db is auto-loaded.
     The default is to not run tests automatically.

The test itself is a basic integrity check exercising all libthread_db
functions used by GDB on GNU/Linux systems.  By extension this also
exercises the proc_service functions provided by GDB that libthread_db
uses.

This functionality is useful for NPTL developers and libthread_db
developers.  It could also prove useful investigating bugs reported
against GDB where the thread debugging library or GDB's proc_service
layer is suspect.

	* linux-thread-db.c (valprint.h): New include.

Tom Tromey eb6af80922 Add "continue" response to pager
This adds a "continue" response to the pager.  If the user types "c"
in response to the pager prompt, pagination will be disabled for the
duration of one command -- but re-enabled afterward.  This is handy if
you type a command that produces a lot of output, and you don't want
to baby-sit it by typing "return" each time the prompt comes up.

Tom Tromey 984ee559a2 Fix "set" handling of Python parameters
It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI
will print the "set" help text by default.  I think usually "set"
commands should be silent.  And, while you can modify this behavior a
bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an
empty string, a blank line will be printed.

This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string
behavior to avoid printing a blank line.  The code has a comment about
preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important;
and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is
trivial.

Tom Tromey 7729052b53 Add basic Python API for convenience variables
This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at
each call, this is not exposed to Python; it could be, but I think
it's just as good to write a convenience function in this situation.

Maciej W. Rozycki 4b2dfa9d87 arch-utils: Make the last endianness actually chosen sticky
Use the last endianness explicitly selected, either by choosing a binary
file or with the `set endian' command, for future automatic selection.

As observed with the `gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp' test case when
discarding the binary file even while connected to a live target the
endianness automatically selected is reset to the GDB target's default,
even if it does not match the endianness of the target being talked to.

For example with a little-endian MIPS target and the default endianness
being big we get this:

(gdb) file .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols/step-over-no-symbols

testcase .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp completed in 2 seconds

which shows that with the removal of the executable debugged the
endianness of $pc still at `main' gets swapped and the value in that
register is now incorrectly interpreted as 0x40084000 rather than
0x400840 as shown earlier on with the `break' command.  Consequently the
debug session no longer works as expected, until the endianness is
overridden with an explicit `set endian little' command.

This will happen while working with any target hardware whose endianness
does not match the default GDB target's endianness guessed and recorded
for a later use in `initialize_current_architecture'.

Given that within a single run of GDB it is more likely that consecutive
target connections will use the same endianness than that the endianness
will be swapped between connections, it makes sense to preserve the last
endianness explicitly selected as the automatic default.  It will make a
session like above, where an executable is removed, work correctly and
will retain the endianness for a further reconnection to the target.

And the new automatic default will still be overridden by subsequently
choosing a binary to debug, or with an explicit `set endian' command.

With the change in place the test case above completes successfully:

    GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x400840
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
    This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
    However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x400840 for code which looks like the beginning of a

Andreas Arnez b744723f57 Show line numbers in output for "info var/func/type"
The GDB commands "info variables", "info functions", and "info types" show
the appropriate list of definitions matching the given pattern.  They also
group them by source files.  But no line numbers within these source files
are shown.

The line number information is particularly useful to the user when a
simple "grep" doesn't readily point to a definition.  This is often the
case when the definition involves a macro, occurs within a namespace, or
when the identifier appears very frequently in the source file.

This patch enriches the printout of these commands by the line numbers and
adjusts affected test cases to the changed output where necessary.  The
new output looks like this:

  (gdb) i variables
  All defined variables:

  File foo.c:
  3:	const char * const foo;
  1:	int x;

The line number is followed by a colon and a tab character, which is then
followed by the symbol definition.  If no line number is available, the
tab is printed out anyhow, so definitions line up.

	* symtab.c (print_symbol_info): Precede the symbol definition by
	the line number when available.
	* NEWS: Advertise this enhancement.

Markus Metzger 4a4495d62d btrace: set/show record btrace cpu
Add new set/show commands to set the processor that is used for enabling
errata workarounds when decoding branch trace.

The general format is "<vendor>:<identifier>" but we also allow two
special values "auto" and "none".

The default is "auto", which is the current behaviour of having GDB
determine the processor on which the trace was recorded.

If that cpu is not known to the trace decoder, e.g. when using an old
decoder on a new system, decode may fail with "unknown cpu".  In most
cases it should suffice to 'downgrade' decode to assume an older cpu.
Unfortunately, we can't do this automatically.

The other special value, "none", disables errata workarounds.

Joel Brobecker 3fcded8f30 set varsize-limit: New GDB setting for maximum dynamic object size
This is a command we somehow forgot to contribute at the time the Ada
language was first contributed to the FSF. This command allows
the user to change the maximum size we allow when reading memory
from dynamic objects (the default is 65536 bytes).

At the moment, this limit is only used by Ada, and so the implementation
is kept inside ada-lang.c. However, it is conceivable that other language
might want to use it also to handle the same kind of issues; for instance,
this might be useful when handling dynamic types in C. So the name
of the setting was made language-neutral, to allow for this.

Note that an alias for "set var" needs to be introduced as well.
We are not adding a test for that, since this is a feature that is
already exercized by numerous existing tests.

        * NEWS: Add entry describing new "set|show varsize-limit" command.

Tom Tromey ea3b06874c Rationalize "backtrace" command line parsing
The backtrace command has peculiar command-line parsing.  In
particular, it splits the command line, then loops over the arguments.
If it sees a word it recognizes, like "full", it effectively drops
this word from the argument vector.  Then, it pastes together the
remaining arguments, passing them on to backtrace_command_1, which in
turn passes the resulting string to parse_and_eval_long.

The documentation doesn't mention the parse_and_eval_long at all, so
it is a bit of a hidden feature that you can "bt 3*2".  The strange
algorithm above also means you can "bt 3 * no-filters 2" and get 6
frames...

This patch changes backtrace's command line parsing to be a bit more
rational.  Now, special words like "full" are only recognized at the
start of the command.

This also updates the documentation to describe the various bt options
individually.

Tom Tromey 76727919ce Convert observers to C++
This converts observers from using a special source-generating script
to be plain C++.  This version of the patch takes advantage of C++11
by using std::function and variadic templates; incorporates Pedro's
patches; and renames the header file to "observable.h" (this change
eliminates the need for a clean rebuild).

Note that Pedro's patches used a template lambda in tui-hooks.c, but
this failed to compile on some buildbot instances (presumably due to
differing C++ versions); I replaced this with an ordinary template
function.

Regression tested on the buildbot.

Xavier Roirand 9f757bf7fc (Ada) New command to stop at start of exception handler.
When using gdb for debugging Ada source code, there are several catchpoint
types you can define in order to stop upon certain conditions.  Let's
use this small example:

procedure Foo is
begin
   begin
      raise Constraint_Error;
   exception
      when Program_Error =>
         null;
      when Constraint_Error =>
         null;
      when others =>
         null;
   end;
end Foo;

One can stop when the exception is being raised by using the exception
catchpoint like below:

(gdb) catch exception
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions
(gdb)

In that case, when running Foo, gdb will stop at the line where the exception
was raised:

   begin
>>>   raise Constraint_Error;
   exception

This patch introduces new type of catchpoint, when the user wants to stop
at the location of the exception handling.
Imagine we want to stop on any exception handled by the program, we can do:

(gdb) catch handlers
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions handlers
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo

By doing so, when running Foo, gdb will stop here:

Catchpoint 1, exception at 0x000000000040255a in foo () at foo.adb:25
25          when Constraint_Error =>
(gdb)

It is also possible to stop when the Constraint_Error exception is being
handled in this program.  With this patch, we can use:

(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error
Catchpoint 1: `Constraint_Error' Ada exception handlers
(gdb)

Like for other catchpoint, you can set a condition when adding a catchpoint
on exception handlers.
Here the handlers catchpoint checks Global_Var:

(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error if Global_Var /= 0

Sergio Durigan Junior 7c1618381f Implement pahole-like 'ptype /o' option
This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.

The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality.  Here's an example:

  /* offset    |  size */  type = struct wer : public tuv {
			   public:
  /*   32      |    24 */    struct tyu {
  /*   32:31   |     4 */        int a1 : 1;
  /*   32:28   |     4 */        int a2 : 3;
  /*   32: 5   |     4 */        int a3 : 23;
  /*   35: 3   |     1 */        char a4 : 2;
  /* XXX  3-bit hole   */
  /* XXX  4-byte hole  */
  /*   40      |     8 */        int64_t a5;
  /*   48:27   |     4 */        int a6 : 5;
  /*   48:56   |     8 */        int64_t a7 : 3;

				 /* total size (bytes):   24 */
			     } a1;

			     /* total size (bytes):   56 */
			   }

A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy.  The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft.  My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).

After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes.  Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt.  This should be implemented in a future
patch.

This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB.  In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:

  <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>

This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot.  There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation.  I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.

Simon Marchi b89641bab5 python: Add qualified parameter to gdb.Breakpoint
This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python.  It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec.  The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).

Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec.  Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.

I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test.  To be able to test multiple
locations using a namespace, I had to switch the test case to compile as
C++.  If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* location.h (string_to_event_location): Add match_type
	parameter.
	* location.c (string_to_event_location): Likewise.
	* python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Handle qualified
	parameter.

	* gdb.python/py-breakpoint.c (foo_ns::multiply): New function.
	* gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp: Compile the test case as c++,
	call test_bkpt_qualified.
	(test_bkpt_qualified): New proc.

Simon Marchi 0b982d685e python doc: Rework Breakpoint.__init__ doc
I find the documentation of the gdb.Breakpoint constructor hard to read
and not very informative, especially since we have added the new
linespec parameters.  There are multiple problems (some are subjective):

- It's not clear that you should use either the spec string or the
  explicit arguments, not both.
- It's not clear what combination of parameters you can use.
- The big block of text describing the arguments is hard to read.
- Currently, it seems like the "spec" argument is mandatory, even though
  it is not (if you use explicit linespec).
- The square bracket nesting

    [arg1 [, arg2[, arg3]]]

  makes it seems like if you specify arg3, you must specify arg1 and
  arg2 (it's not the case here).

This patch tries to address these problems.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* python.texi (Manipulating breakpoints using Python): Split doc
	of Breakpoint.__init__ in two, split text in multiple
	paragraphs, don't nest parameter square brackets.

Franck Jullien a994fec4f8 gdb: Add OpenRISC or1k and or1knd target support
This patch prepares the current GDB port of the OpenRISC processor from
https://github.com/openrisc/binutils-gdb for upstream merging.

Testing has been done with a cgen sim provided in a separate patch. This
has been tested with 2 toolchains. GCC [1] 5.4.0 from the OpenRISC
project with Newlib [2] and GCC 5.4.0 with Musl [3] 1.1.4.

It supports or1knd (no delay slot target).
The default target is or1k (with delay slot).

You can change the target arch with:

(gdb) set architecture or1knd
The target architecture is assumed to be or1knd

Jan Kratochvil 437afbb81e DWARF-5: .debug_names index producer
This adds a new "-dwarf-5" switch to "save gdb-index" that makes it
generate index files with DWARF-5 .debug_names/.debug_str sections
instead of GDB's own .gdb_index.

We should probably add a command line option to
contrib/gdb-add-index.sh (incl. cc-with-tweaks.sh) for the new
-dwarf-5 GDB option, and a new target board to make it more convenient
to exercise this.  To be done later.

Keith Seitz 883fd55ab1 Record nested types
GDB currently does not track types defined in classes.  Consider:

class A
{
  public:

  class B
  {
    public:
      class C { };
  };
};

(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
   <no data fields>
}

This patch changes this behavior so that GDB records these nested types
and displays them to the user when he has set the (new) "print type"
option "nested-type-limit."

Example:

(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 1
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
    <no data fields>
    class A::B {
        <no data fields>
    };
}
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 2
type = class A {
    <no data fields>
    class A::B {
        <no data fields>
        class A::B::C {
            <no data fields>
        };
    };
}

By default, the code maintains the status quo, that is, it will not print
any nested type definitions at all.

Testing is carried out via cp_ptype_class which required quite a bit of
modification to permit recursive calling (for the nested types).  This
was most easily facilitated by turning the ptype command output into a
queue.  Upshot: the test suite now has stack and queue data structures that
may be used by test writers.

Sergio Durigan Junior 97cbe998d0 Add support for the readnever concept
The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging

the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:

  - The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
    least initially;
  - The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
    DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
    other debug format.
  - Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?

One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach.  Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.

This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF.  It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.

It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.

Tested on the BuildBot.

Sergio Durigan Junior e2e321740c Add support for the readnever concept
The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific.  The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:

  - The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
    least initially;
  - The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of

Pedro Alves bd69330db8 Breakpoints in symbols with ABI tags (PR c++/19436)
Trying to set a breakpoint in a function with an ABI tag does not work
currently.  E.g., debugging gdb itself, we see this with the
"string_printf" function:

 (top-gdb) b string_print                               [TAB]
 (top-gdb) b string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...) [RET]
 No source file named string_printf[abi.
 Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])

Quoting doesn't help:
 (top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11]'(char const*, ...)
 malformed linespec error: unexpected string, "(char const*, ...)"
 (top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)'
 No source file named string_printf[abi.
 Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n

This patch fixes this, and takes it a bit further.

The actual symbol name as demangled by libiberty's demangler is really

 string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)

however, this patch makes it possible to set the breakpoint with

 string_printf(char const*, ...)

too.  I.e., ignoring the ABI tag.

And to match, it teaches the completer to complete the symbol name
without the ABI tag, i.e.,

  "string_pri<TAB>"  -> "string_printf(char const*, ...)"

If however, you really want to break on a symbol with the tag, then
you simply start writing the tag, and GDB will preserve it, like:

  "string_printf[a<TAB>"  -> "string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)"

Pedro Alves a20714ff39 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
