A relatively recent patch support for explicit locations, and part
of that patch cleaned up the way we parse breakpoint locations.
Unfortunatly, a small regression crept in for "*<EXPR>" breakpoint
locations. In particular, on PIE programs, one can see the issue by
doing the following, with any program:
(gdb) b *main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x51a: file hello.c, line 3.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/hello
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Just for the record, this regression was introduced by:
commit a06efdd6ef
Date: Tue Aug 11 17:09:35 2015 -0700
Subject: Explicit locations: introduce address locations
What happens is that the patch makes the implicit assumption that
the address computed the first time is static, as if it was designed
to only support litteral expressions (Eg. "*0x1234"). This allows
the shortcut of not re-computing the breakpoint location's address
when re-setting breakpoints.
However, this does not work in general, as demonstrated in the example
above.
This patch plugs that hole simply by saving the original expression
used to compute the address as part of the address location, so as
to then re-evaluate that expression during breakpoint re-set.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* location.h (new_address_location): Add new parameters
"addr_string" and "addr_string_len".
(get_address_string_location): Add declaration.
* location.c (new_address_location): Add new parameters
"addr_string" and "addr_string_len". If not NULL, store
a copy of the addr_string in the new location as well.
(get_address_string_location): New function.
(string_to_event_location): Update call to new_address_location.
* linespec.c (event_location_to_sals) <ADDRESS_LOCATION>:
Save the event location in the parser's state before
passing it to convert_address_location_to_sals.
* breakpoint.c (create_thread_event_breakpoint): Update call
to new_address_location.
(init_breakpoint_sal): Get the event location's string, if any,
and use it to update call to new_address_location.
* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init):
Update call to new_address_location.
* spu-tdep.c (spu_catch_start): Likewise.
* config/djgpp/fnchange.lst: Add entries for

Per GDB the "Start of New Year Procedure", this patch
- renames the current ChangeLog into ChangeLog-2015;
- starts a new ChangeLog file.

* config/djgpp/fnchange.lst: Add entry for gdb/ChangeLog-2015.
IIUC it is a pre-requisite for IPv6 support, some UNICes do not support
getaddrinfo required for IPv6. But coincidentally such UNICes are no longer
really supported by GDB. Therefore it was concluded we can remove all such
UNICes and then we can implement IPv6 easily with getaddrinfo.

This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.
Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.
A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.
I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.
Built and tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with --enable-targets=all.
Tested that building for --target=alpha-osf3 on x86_64 Fedora 20
