gdb/mi: add new --group-by-objfile flag for -file-list-exec-source-files
This commit adds a new option '--group-by-objfile' to the MI command -file-list-exec-source-files. With this option the output format is changed; instead of a single list of source files the results are now a list of objfiles. For each objfile all of the source files associated with that objfile are listed. Here is an example of the new output format taken from the documentation (the newlines are added just for readability): -file-list-exec-source-files --group-by-objfile ^done,files=[{filename="/tmp/info-sources/test.x", debug-info="fully-read", sources=[{file="test.c", fullname="/tmp/info-sources/test.c", debug-fully-read="true"}, {file="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h", fullname="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h", debug-fully-read="true"}, {file="header.h", fullname="/tmp/info-sources/header.h", debug-fully-read="true"}]}, {filename="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", debug-info="none", sources=[]}, {filename="system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000", debug-info="none", sources=[]}, {filename="/tmp/info-sources/libhelper.so", debug-info="fully-read", sources=[{file="helper.c", fullname="/tmp/info-sources/helper.c", debug-fully-read="true"}, {file="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h", fullname="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h", debug-fully-read="true"}, {file="header.h", fullname="/tmp/info-sources/header.h", debug-fully-read="true"}]}, {filename="/lib64/libc.so.6", debug-info="none", sources=[]}] In the above output the 'debug-info' field associated with each objfile will have one of the values 'none', 'partially-read', or 'fully-read'. For example, /lib64/libc.so.6 has the value 'none', this indicates that this object file has no debug information associated with it, unsurprisingly then, the sources list of this object file is empty. An object file that was compiled with debug, for example /tmp/info-sources/libhelper.so, has the value 'fully-read' above indicating that this object file does have debug information, and the information is fully read into GDB. At different times this field might have the value 'partially-read' indicating that that the object file has debug information, but it has not been fully read into GDB yet. Source files can appear at most once for any single objfile, but can appear multiple times in total, if the same source file is part of multiple objfiles, for example /tmp/info-sources/header.h in the above output. The new output format is hidden behind a command option to ensure that the default output is unchanged, this ensures backward compatibility. The behaviour of the CLI "info sources" command is unchanged after this commit. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention additions to -file-list-exec-source-files. * mi/mi-cmd-file.c (mi_cmd_file_list_exec_source_files): Add --group-by-objfile option. * symtab.c (isrc_flag_option_def): Rename to... (isrc_match_flag_option_def): ...this. (info_sources_option_defs): Rename to... (info_sources_match_option_defs): ...this, and update to rename of isrc_flag_option_def. (struct filename_grouping_opts): New struct. (isrc_grouping_flag_option_def): New type. (info_sources_grouping_option_defs): New static global. (make_info_sources_options_def_group): Update to return two option groups. (info_sources_command_completer): Update for changes to make_info_sources_options_def_group. (info_sources_worker): Add extra parameter, use this to display alternative output format. (info_sources_command): Pass extra parameter to info_sources_worker. (_initialize_symtab): Update for changes to make_info_sources_options_def_group. * symtab.h (info_sources_worker): Add extra parameter. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI File Commands): Document --group-by-objfile extension for -file-list-exec-source-files. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/mi-info-sources.exp: Add additional tests.
