lookup_symbol is often called with user input. Consequently, any
function called from lookup_symbol{,_in_language} should attempt to
deal with malformed input gracefully. After all, malformed user
input is not a programming/API error.
This patch does not attempt to find/correct all instances of this. It
only fixes locations in the code that trigger test suite failures.
This patch fixes PR breakpoints/18303, "Assertion: -breakpoint-insert
with windows paths of file in non-current directory".
The patch includes three new tests related to this. One is just
gdb.linespec/ls-errs.exp copied and converted to use C++ instead of C, and
to add a case using a file name containing a Windows-style logical drive
specifier. The others include an MI test to provide a regression test for
the specific case reported in PR 18303, and a C++ test for proper error
handling of access to a program variable when using a file scope specifier
that refers to a non-existent file.
Tested on x86_64 native Linux.
