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.
