Currently, we always re-set all locations of all breakpoints. This
commit makes us re-set only locations of the current program space.
If we loaded symbols to a program space (e.g., "file" command or some
shared library was loaded), GDB must run through all breakpoints and
determine if any new locations need to be added to the breakpoint.
However, there's no reason to recreate locations for _other_ program
spaces, as those haven't changed.
Similarly, when we create a new inferior, through e.g., a fork, GDB
must run through all breakpoints and determine if any new locations
need to be added to the breakpoint. There's no reason to destroy the
locations of the parent inferior and other inferiors. We know those
won't change.
In addition to being inneficient, resetting breakpoints of inferiors
that are currently running is problematic, because:
- some targets can't read memory while the inferior is running.
- the inferior might exit while we're re-setting its breakpoints,
which may confuse prologue skipping.
I went through all the places where we call breakpoint_re_set, and it
seems to me that all can be changed to only re-set locations of the
current program space.
The patch that reversed threads order in "info threads" etc. happened
to make gdb.threads/fork-plus-thread.exp expose this problem when
testing on x86/-m32. The problem was latent and masked out by chance
by the code-cache:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00213.html
Tested on x86-64 F20, native (-m64/-m32) and extended-remote
gdbserver.
Fixes the regression discussed in the url above with --target_board=unix/-m32:
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left (timeout)
-FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left (the program exited)
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left
+PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left

This patch exposes explicit locations to the CLI user. This enables
users to "explicitly" specify attributes of the breakpoint location
to avoid any ambiguity that might otherwise exist with linespecs.
The general syntax of explicit locations is:
-source SOURCE_FILENAME -line {+-}LINE -function FUNCTION_NAME
-label LABEL_NAME
Option names may be abbreviated, e.g., "-s SOURCE_FILENAME -li 3" and users
may use the completer with either options or values.

This patch converts the code base to use the new struct event_location
API being introduced. This patch preserves the current functionality and
adds no new features.
The "big picture" API usage introduced by this patch may be illustrated
with a simple exmaple. Where previously developers would write:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
create_breakpoint (..., arg, ...);
...
}
one now uses:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
struct event_locaiton *location;
struct cleanup *back_to;
location = string_to_event_locaiton (&arg, ...);
back_to = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
create_breakpoint (..., location, ...);
do_cleanups (back_to);
}
Linespec-decoding functions (now called location-decoding) such as
decode_line_full no longer skip argument pointers over processed input.
That functionality has been moved into string_to_event_location as
demonstrated above.

This patch introduces the new breakpoint/"linespec" API based on

traditional linespecs, maintaining the status quo of the code base.
Future patches will add additional functionality for other location
types such as address locations.

* Makefile.in (SFILES): Add location.c.
(HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add location.h.
(COMMON_OBS): Add location.o.

* location.c: New file.
* location.h: New file.
This patch changes the heuristic the linespec lexer uses to
detect a keyword in the input stream.
Currently, the heuristic is: a word is a keyword if it
1) points to a string that is a keyword
2) is followed by a non-identifier character
This is strictly more correct than using whitespace. For example,
it allows constructs such as "break foo if(i == 1)". However,
find_condition_and_thread in breakpoint.c does not support this expanded
usage. It requires whitespace to follow the keyword.
The proposed new heuristic is: a word is a keyword if it
1) points to a string that is a keyword
2) is followed by whitespace
3) is not followed by another keyword string followed by whitespace
This additional complexity allows constructs such as
"break thread thread 3" and "break thread 3". In the former case,
the actual location is a symbol named "thread" to be set on thread #3.
In the later case, the location is NULL, i.e., the default location,
to be set on thread #3.
In order to pass all the new tests added here, I've also had to add a
new feature to parse_breakpoint_sals, which expands recognition of the
default location to keywords other than "if", which is the only keyword
currently permitted with the default (NULL) location, but there is no
reason to exclude other keywords.
Consequently, it will be possible to use "break thread 1" or
"break task 1".
In addition to all of this, it is now possible to remove the keyword_ok
state from the linespec parser.
