From 733d554a4625db4ffb89b7a20e1cf27ab071ef4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tankut Baris Aktemur Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 10:56:03 +0100 Subject: gdb/breakpoint: add flags to 'condition' and 'break' commands to force condition The previous patch made it possible to define a condition if it's valid at some locations. If the condition is invalid at all of the locations, it's rejected. However, there may be cases where the user knows the condition *will* be valid at a location in the future, e.g. due to a shared library load. To make it possible that such condition can be defined, this patch adds an optional '-force' flag to the 'condition' command, and, respectively, a '-force-condition' flag to the 'break'command. When the force flag is passed, the condition is not rejected even when it is invalid for all the current locations (note that all the locations would be internally disabled in this case). For instance: (gdb) break test.c:5 Breakpoint 1 at 0x1155: file test.c, line 5. (gdb) cond 1 foo == 42 No symbol "foo" in current context. Defining the condition was not possible because 'foo' is not available. The user can override this behavior with the '-force' flag: (gdb) cond -force 1 foo == 42 warning: failed to validate condition at location 1.1, disabling: No symbol "foo" in current context. (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep y stop only if foo == 42 1.1 N 0x0000000000001155 in main at test.c:5 Now the condition is accepted, but the location is automatically disabled. If a future location has a context in which 'foo' is available, that location would be enabled. For the 'break' command, -force-condition has the same result: (gdb) break test.c:5 -force-condition if foo == 42 warning: failed to validate condition at location 0x1169, disabling: No symbol "foo" in current context. Breakpoint 1 at 0x1169: file test.c, line 5. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-10-27 Tankut Baris Aktemur * breakpoint.h (set_breakpoint_condition): Add a new bool parameter. * breakpoint.c: Update the help text of the 'condition' and 'break' commands.
