GDB's current behavior when dealing with non-local references in the
context of nested fuctions is approximative:
- code using valops.c:value_of_variable read the first available stack
frame that holds the corresponding variable (whereas there can be
multiple candidates for this);
- code directly relying on read_var_value will instead read non-local
variables in frames where they are not even defined.
This change adds the necessary context to symbol reads (to get the block
they belong to) and to blocks (the static link property, if any) so that
GDB can make the proper decisions when dealing with non-local varibale
references.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_read_var_value): Add a var_block argument
and pass it to default_read_var_value.
* block.c (block_static_link): New accessor.
* block.h (block_static_link): Declare it.
* buildsym.c (finish_block_internal): Add a static_link
argument. If there is a static link, associate it to the new
block.
(finish_block): Add a static link argument and pass it to
finish_block_internal.
(end_symtab_get_static_block): Update calls to finish_block and
to finish_block_internal.
(end_symtab_with_blockvector): Update call to
finish_block_internal.
* buildsym.h: Forward-declare struct dynamic_prop.
(struct context_stack): Add a static_link field.
(finish_block): Add a static link argument.
* c-exp.y: Remove an obsolete comment (evaluation of variables
already start from the selected frame, and now they climb *up*
the call stack) and propagate the block information to the
produced expression.
* d-exp.y: Likewise.
* f-exp.y: Likewise.
* go-exp.y: Likewise.
* jv-exp.y: Likewise.
* m2-exp.y: Likewise.
* p-exp.y: Likewise.
* coffread.c (coff_symtab_read): Update calls to finish_block.
* dbxread.c (process_one_symbol): Likewise.
* xcoffread.c (read_xcoff_symtab): Likewise.
* compile/compile-c-symbols.c (convert_one_symbol): Promote the
"sym" parameter to struct block_symbol, update its uses and pass
its block to calls to read_var_value.
(convert_symbol_sym): Update the calls to convert_one_symbol.
* compile/compile-loc2c.c (do_compile_dwarf_expr_to_c): Update
call to read_var_value.

instead of the selected frame in order to evaluate the
expression.
(dwarf2_evaluate_property): Add a frame argument. Update call
to dwarf2_locexpr_baton_eval to provide a frame in available and
to handle the absence of address stack.

* dwarf2read.c (attr_to_dynamic_prop): Add a forward
declaration.
(read_func_scope): Record any available static link description.
Update call to finish_block.
(read_lexical_block_scope): Update call to finish_block.
* findvar.c (follow_static_link): New.
(get_hosting_frame): New.
(default_read_var_value): Add a var_block argument. Use
get_hosting_frame to handle non-local references.
(read_var_value): Add a var_block argument and pass it to the
LA_READ_VAR_VALUE method.
* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_range): Update calls to
dwarf2_evaluate_property.
(resolve_dynamic_type_internal): Likewise.
* guile/scm-frame.c (gdbscm_frame_read_var): Update call to
read_var_value, passing it the block coming from symbol lookup.
* guile/scm-symbol.c (gdbscm_symbol_value): Update call to
read_var_value (TODO).

read_var_value, passing it the block coming from symbol lookup.

(objfile_lookup_static_link): New.
(free_objfile): Free the STATIC_LINKS hashed map if needed.
* objfiles.h: Include hashtab.h.
(struct objfile): Add a static_links field.
(objfile_register_static_link): New.
(objfile_lookup_static_link): New.
* printcmd.c (print_variable_and_value): Update call to
read_var_value.
* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init): Likewise.
* python/py-frame.c (frapy_read_var): Update call to
read_var_value, passing it the block coming from symbol lookup.

parameter and set the pointed value to NULL (TODO).

(SYMBOL_BLOCK): New accessor.
* valops.c (value_of_variable): Remove frame/block handling and
pass the block argument to read_var_value, which does this job
now.
