Use -qualified flag when setting temporary breakpoint in start command
When using the "start" command, GDB puts a temporary breakpoint on the
"main" symbol (we literally invoke the tbreak command). However, since
it does wild matching by default, it also puts a breakpoint on any C++
method or "main" function in a namespace. For example, when debugging
GDB, it creates a total of 24 locations:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x198c1e9: main. (24 locations)
as there are a bunch of methods called main in the selftests, such as
selftests::string_view::capacity_1::main()
If such method was called in the constructor of a global object, or a
function marked with the attribute "constructor", then we would stop at
the wrong place. Also, this causes a few extra symtabs (those that
contain the "wrong" mains) to be expanded for nothing.
The dummiest, most straightforward solution is to add -qualified when
invoking tbreak. With this patch, "start" creates a single-location
breakpoint, as expected.
I copied the start.exp test to start-cpp.exp and made it use a C++ test
file, which contains two main functions. The new test verifies that the
output of "start" is the output we get when we set a single-location
breakpoint.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infcmd.c (run_command_1): Pass -qualified to tbreak when usind
the "start" command.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/start-cpp.exp: New file.
* gdb.base/start-cpp.cc: New file.
