Integrate GNU poke in GDBusers/jemarch/poke-gdb
This patch integrates GNU poke (http://jemarch.net/poke) in GDB by mean of libpoke. It allows the GDB user to execute Poke code from within the debugger with access to the target memory, types and values. How this stuff works: - GDB links with libpoke.so and uses the interface in libpoke.h. This is also how the GNU poke application (the command-line editor) is implemented. - There are three commands: poke STR poke-add-type EXPR poke-add-types REGEXP poke-dump-types All three commands make sure to start the poke incremental compiler if it isn't running already. - Access to the target's memory is provided by GDB by installing a Foreign IO device in the incremental compiler. This is `iod_if' in poke.c. - Access to the terminal is provided by GDB by providing a pk_term_if implementation to the incremental compiler. This is `poke_term_if' in poke.c. - Access to GDB values is provided by GDB by installing an alien token handler in the incremental compiler. This is `poke_alien_token_handler' in poke.c. gdb/ChangeLog: 2021-05-10 Jose E.
