gdb/mi: fix breakpoint script field output
The "script" field, output whenever information about a breakpoint with commands is output, uses wrong MI syntax. $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory -x script -i mi =thread-group-added,id="i1" =breakpoint-created,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="0x000000000000111d",func="main",file="test.c",fullname="/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/test.c",line="3",thread-groups=["i1"],times="0",original-location="main"} =breakpoint-modified,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="0x000000000000111d",func="main",file="test.c",fullname="/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/test.c",line="3",thread-groups=["i1"],times="0",script={"aaa","bbb","ccc"},original-location="main"} (gdb) -break-info ^done,BreakpointTable={nr_rows="1",nr_cols="6",hdr=[{width="7",alignment="-1",col_name="number",colhdr="Num"},{width="14",alignment="-1",col_name="type",colhdr="Type"},{width="4",alignment="-1",col_name="disp",colhdr="Disp"},{width="3",alignment="-1",col_name="enabled",colhdr="Enb"},{width="18",alignment="-1",col_name="addr",colhdr="Address"},{width="40",alignment="2",col_name="what",colhdr="What"}],body=[bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="0x000000000000111d",func="main",file="test.c",fullname="/home/simark/build/binutils-gdb-one-target/gdb/test.c",line="3",thread-groups=["i1"],times="0",script={"aaa","bbb","ccc"},original-location="main"}]} (gdb) In both the =breakpoint-modified and -break-info output, we have: script={"aaa","bbb","ccc"} According to the output syntax [1], curly braces means tuple, and a tuple contains key=value pairs. This looks like it should be a list, but uses curly braces by mistake. This would make more sense: script=["aaa","bbb","ccc"] Fix it, keeping the backwards compatibility by introducing a new MI version (MI4), in exactly the same way as was done when fixing multi-locations breakpoint output in [2]. - Add a fix_breakpoint_script_output uiout flag. MI uiouts will use this flag if the version is >= 4. - Add a fix_breakpoint_script_output_globally variable and the -fix-breakpoint-script-output MI command to set it, if frontends want to use the fixed output for this without using the newer MI version. - When emitting the script field, use list instead of tuple, if we want the fixed output (depending on the two criteria above) - [1] https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/GDB_002fMI-Output-Syntax.html#GDB_002fMI-Output-Syntax [2] https://gitlab.com/gnutools/binutils-gdb/-/commit/b4be1b0648608a2578bbed39841c8ee411773edd Change-Id: I7113c6892832c8d6805badb06ce42496677e2242 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24285

+ ** The default version of the MI interpreter is now 4 (-i=mi4).
+
+ ** The "script" field in breakpoint output (which is syntactically

+ The -fix-breakpoint-script-output command can be used to enable
