Paul N. Hilfinger 72384ba31a Have block_innermost_frame start from selected frame and document.
GDB used to search for the frame containing variables in a particular
lexical block starting from the current (top) frame, ignoring any
currently selected frame.  It is not clear why this is desirable for
variables that require a frame; why would a user deliberately select
one frame and then expect to see the value of a variable in a more
recent frame?  This change causes block_innermost_frame to start
looking from the selected frame, if there is one.  It may be
unnecessarily conservative: we use get_selected_frame_if_set rather
than get_selected_frame in order to avoid the side effect of calling
select_frame, which would probably be harmless.

Expression-parsing routines previously made the unwarranted assumption
that all block-qualified variables (written with the GDB extension
<block>::<variable>) are static.  As a result, they failed to update
innermost_block, which confused the watch commands about when
variables in watched expressions went out of scope, and also caused
the wrong variables to be watched.  This patch also modifies these
routines to treat all local variables the same whether or not they are
block-qualified.

Finally, we add a paragraph to the "Program Variables" section of the texinfo
documentation concerning the use of "::" for accessing non-static variables.

	* gdb/blockframe.c (block_innermost_frame): Start search from selected
	frame, if present, or otherwise the current frame.

	* gdb/c-exp.y (variable): Update innermost_block for
	'block COLONCOLON NAME' clause.
	* gdb/m2-exp.y (variable): Ditto.
	* gdb/objc-exp.y (variable): Ditto.

	* gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo (Variables): Document use of :: for non-static
	variables.

		   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.
