darwin: Don't use sbrk
This patch gets rid of this warning on macOS: CXX main.o /Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:492:27: error: 'sbrk' is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations] lim_at_start = (char *) sbrk (0); ^ /usr/include/unistd.h:585:1: note: 'sbrk' has been explicitly marked deprecated here __deprecated __WATCHOS_PROHIBITED __TVOS_PROHIBITED ^ /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:176:37: note: expanded from macro '__deprecated' #define __deprecated __attribute__((deprecated)) ^ sbrk on macOS is not useful for our purposes, since sbrk(0) always returns the same value. From what I read, brk/sbrk on macOS is just an emulation, it always returns a pointer in a 4MB section reserved for that. So instead of letting users use "maint set per-command space on" and print silly results, I think we should just disable that feature for this platform (as we do for platforms that don't have sbrk). I defined a HAVE_USEFUL_SBRK macro and used that instead of HAVE_SBRK. gdb/ChangeLog: * common/common-defs.h (HAVE_USEFUL_SBRK): Define. * main.c: Use HAVE_USEFUL_SBRK instead of HAVE_SBRK. * maint.c: Likewise. * top.c: Likewise.
