When a breakpoint has multiple locations, like e.g.:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x080486a2 in void foo<int>()...
1.2 y 0x080486ca in void foo<double>()...
[....]
1.5 y 0x080487fa in void foo<long>()...
it's possible to enable/disable the individual locations using the
'<breakpoint_number>.<location_number>' syntax, like e.g.:
(gdb) disable 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
That's inconvenient when you have a long list of locations to disable,
however.
This patch adds shorthand for the above, by making it possible to
specify a range of locations with the following syntax (similar to
thread id ranges):
<breakpoint_number>.<first_location_number>-<last_location_number>
For example, the command above can now be simplified to:
(gdb) disable 1.2-5
