Pedro Alves 187808b04f Add back gdb_pretty_print_insn
ui_file_rewind is a ui_file method that only really works with mem
buffer files, and is a nop on other ui_file types.  It'd be desirable
to eliminate it from the base ui_file interface, and move it to the
"mem_fileopen" subclass of ui_file instead.  A following patch does
just that.

Unfortunately, there are a couple references to ui_file_rewind inside
gdb_disassembler::pretty_print_insn that were made harder to eliminate
with the recent addition of the gdb_disassembler wrapper.

Before the gdb_disassembler wrapper was added, in commit
e47ad6c0bd ("Refactor disassembly code"), gdb_pretty_print_insn
used to be passed a ui_file pointer as argument, and it was simple to
adjust that pointer be a "mem_fileopen" ui_file pointer instead, since
there's only one gdb_pretty_print_insn caller.

That commit made gdb_pretty_print_insn be a method of
gdb_disassembler, and removed the method's ui_file parameter at the
same time, replaced by referencing the gdb_disassembler's stream
instead.  The trouble is that a gdb_disassembler can be instantiated
with a pointer any kind of ui_file.  Casting the gdb_disassembler's
stream to a mem_fileopen ui_file inside
gdb_disassembler::pretty_print_insn in order to call the reset method
would be gross hack.

The fix here is to:

 - make gdb_disassembler::pretty_print_insn a be free function again
   instead of a method of gdb_disassembler.  I.e., bring back
   gdb_pretty_print_insn.

 - but, don't add back the ui_file * parameter.  Instead, move the
   mem_fileopen allocation inside.  That is a better interface, given
   that the ui_file is only ever used as temporary scratch buffer as
   an implementation detail of gdb_pretty_print_insn.  The function's
   real "where to send output" parameter is the ui_out pointer.  (A
   following patch will add back buffer reuse across invocations
   differently).

 - don't add back a disassemble_info pointer either.  That used to be
   necessary for this bit:

	  err = m_di.read_memory_func (pc, &data, 1, &m_di);
	  if (err != 0)
	    m_di.memory_error_func (err, pc, &m_di);

   ... but AFAIK, it's not really necessary.  We can replace those
   three lines with a call to read_code.  This seems to fix a
   regression even, because before commit d8b49cf0c8 ("Don't throw
   exception in dis_asm_memory_error"), that memory_error_func call
   would throw an error/exception, but now it only records the error
   in the gdb_disassembler's m_err_memaddr field.  (read_code throws
   on error.)

With all these, gdb_pretty_print_insn is completely layered on top of
gdb_disassembler only using the latter's public API.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
