machines with different sized basic types (ints, ptrs, etc).
(Idea from pierre@la.tce.com (Pierre Willard).)
* value.c (value_from_longest): Rename from value_from_long.
Handle pointer types as well as integers, so that targets with
different pointer sizes from the host can be accomodated.
* breakpoint.c, convex-tdep.c, eval.c, expprint.c, printcmd.c,
valarith.c, valops.c, valprint.c, value.h, values.c: Rename
uses of value_from_long to value_from_longest.
* eval.c, findvar.c, printcmd.c, valarith.c, valops.c: Pass
the correct pointer type to value_from_long{est}.
* remote-vx.c: Remove obsolete code for calling functions via
vxworks kludge interface (it referenced value_from_long).
* valops.c (value_string): Find malloc with lookup_misc_func, not
raw search.
* breakpoint.c, remote-vx.c: Reword strings printed by
catch_errors callers.
* core.c (core_open): Open file ourselves, read or r/w, depending on
write_files. Use bfd_fdopenr.
* gdbcore.h (write_files): New variable.
* exec.c (write_files): Define variable, add set&show for it.
(exec_file_command): Use write_files to open for read or r/write.
Make shared library reading happen automatically. These changes
are mostly from Peter Schauer <pes@regent.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de>.
* inferior.h (stop_soon_quietly): Add to exported variables.
* infrun.c (child_create_inferior): call solib hook, if defined.
(child_attach): call solib hook, if defined.
* solib.c: Include inferior.h. Add from_tty to so_list as kludge.
(find_solib): Use lookup_misc_func rather than hand-rolled.
(symbol_add_stub): New stub for catch_errors.
(solib_add): Avoid output if !from_tty. Catch errors rather
than just calling symbol_file_add and bombing.
(solib_create_inferior_hook): Interface with the target process
to let it read and alloc shared libs, then figure out what it did.
* core.c (validate_files): Fix typo, soften warning.
(Fix from Hiroto Kagotani <kagotani@cs.titech.ac.jp>.)
* utils.c (fputs_demangled): Avoid duplicate printing if
demangling is off. (Fix from J.T. Conklin <jtc@cayenne.com>.)
* infrun.c (proceed): Cast -1 to (CORE_ADDR) before comparing.
(Fix from pierre@la.tce.com (Pierre Willard).)
* main.c (catch_errors): Change argument to a char * from an int,
since a char * can point to a struct full of glop, but an int
is not guaranteed to be able to hold a pointer.
* breakpoint.c (breakpoint_cond_eval, bpstat_stop_status,
breakpoint_re_set_one, breakpoint_re_set): Adapt.
* core.c (core_open, solib_add_stub): Adapt.
* remote-vx.c (symbol_stub, add_symbol_stub, callers): Adapt.
core.c (core_close): Call CLEAR_SOLIB.
(core_open): Remove comment about "should deal with shared lib".
(core_xfer_memory): If we can't xfer the usual way, try the
shared libraries.
solib.c (so_list): New fields so_bfd and so_sections{,_end}.
(find_solib): Use solib_map_sections to get ld_text.
(solib_map_sections, solib_xfer_memory): New functions.
(clear_solib): Free so_sections and close so_bfd.
tm-sunos.h: Add solib_xfer_memory, solib_add.
