add gcc/gdb interface files
The gcc plugin is split into two parts. One part is an ordinary gcc plugin. The other part is a shared library that is loaded by gdb. This patch adds some files that define the interface exported by this shared library to gdb. These files also define the internal API by which the gdb- and gcc-sides communicate. These files will be kept in sync between gcc and gdb like much of include/. The exported API has been intentionally kept very simple. In particular only a single function is exported from the gdb-side library; symbol visibility is used to hide everything else. This exported symbol is a function which is called to return a structure holding function pointers that gdb then uses. This structure is versioned so that changes can be made without necessarily requiring a simultaneous gdb upgrade. Note that the C compiler API is broken out separately. This lets us extend it to other GCC front ends as desired. We plan to investigate C++ in the future. include/ChangeLog 2014-12-12 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com> Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com> * gcc-c-fe.def: New file. * gcc-c-interface.h: New file. * gcc-interface.h: New file.
