I left making inferior::detaching a bool to a separate patch, because
doing that makes a make_cleanup_restore_integer call in
infrun.c:prepare_for_detach no longer compile (passing a 'bool *' when
an 'int *' is expected). Since we want to get rid of cleanups anyway,
I looked at converting that to a scoped_restore. However,
prepare_for_detach wants to discard the cleanup on success, and
scoped_restore doesn't have an equivalent for that. So I added one --
I called it "release()" because it seems like a natural fit in the way
standard components call similarly-spirited methods, and, it's also
what the proposal for a generic scope guard calls it too, AFAICS:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n4189.pdf
I've added some scoped_guard unit tests, while at it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-04-19 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* Makefile.in (SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_SRCS): Add
unittests/scoped_restore-selftests.c.
(SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_OBS): Add scoped_restore-selftests.o.
* common/scoped_restore.h (scoped_restore_base): Make "class".
(scoped_restore_base::release): New public method.
(scoped_restore_base::scoped_restore_base): New protected ctor.
(scoped_restore_base::m_saved_var): New protected field.
(scoped_restore_tmpl::scoped_restore_tmpl(T*)): Initialize the
scoped_restore_base base class instead of m_saved_var directly.
(scoped_restore_tmpl::scoped_restore_tmpl(T*, T2)): Likewise.
(scoped_restore_tmpl::scoped_restore_tmpl(const
scoped_restore_tmpl<T>&)): Likewise.
(scoped_restore_tmpl::~scoped_restore_tmpl): Use the saved_var
method.
(scoped_restore_tmpl::saved_var): New method.
(scoped_restore_tmpl::m_saved_var): Delete.
* inferior.h (inferior::detaching): Now a bool.
* infrun.c (prepare_for_detach): Use a scoped_restore instead of a
cleanup.
* unittests/scoped_restore-selftests.c: New file.
A following patch will want to do
string_file str_file;
scoped_restore save_stdout
= make_scoped_restore (&gdb_stdout, &str_file);
where gdb_stdout is a ui_file *, and string_file is a type that
inherits from ui_file, but that doesn't compile today:
src/gdb/top.c: In function ‘std::__cxx11::string execute_command_to_string(char*, int)’:
src/gdb/top.c:710:50: error: no matching function for call to ‘make_scoped_restore(ui_file**, string_file*)’
= make_scoped_restore (&gdb_stdout, &str_file);
^

This commit makes code such as the above possible.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-01-31 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/scoped_restore.h
(scoped_restore_tmpl::scoped_restore_tmpl): Template on T2, and
change the value's parameter type to T2.
(make_scoped_restore): Likewise.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch replaces many (but not all) uses of
make_cleanup_restore_integer with a simple RAII-based template class.
It also removes the similar restore_execution_direction cleanup in
favor of this new class. Subsequent patches will replace other
similar cleanups with this class.
The class is typically instantiated using make_scoped_restore. This
allows for template argument deduction.
