Improve arm_skip_prologue by using arm_analyze_prologue
Hi, I see many fails in dw2-dir-file-name.exp on arm target when test case is compiled with -marm, however, these fails are disappeared when test case is compiled with -mthumb. The difference of pass and fail shown below is that "0x000085d4 in" isn't printed out, but test case expects to see it. -Breakpoint 2, compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () at tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:999^M -(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename +Breakpoint 2, 0x000085d4 in compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () at tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:999^M +(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename This difference is caused by setting breakpoint at the first instruction in the function (actually, the first instruction in prologue, at [1]), so that frame_show_address returns false, and print_frame doesn't print the address. 0x00008620 <+0>: push {r11} ; (str r11, [sp, #-4]!) <--[1] 0x00008624 <+4>: add r11, sp, #0 0x00008628 <+8>: ldr r3, [pc, #24] ; 0x8648 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename+40> 0x0000862c <+12>: ldr r3, [r3] 0x00008630 <+16>: add r3, r3, #1 0x00008634 <+20>: ldr r2, [pc, #12] ; 0x8648 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename+40> Then, it must be the arm_skip_prologue's fault that unable to skip instructions in prologue. At the end of arm_skip_prologue, it matches several instructions, such as "str r(0123),[r11,#-nn]" and "str r(0123),[sp,#nn]", but "push {r11}" isn't handled. These instruction matching code in arm_skip_prologue, which can be regarded as leftover of development for many years, should be merged to arm_analyze_prologue and use arm_analyze_prologue in arm_skip_prologue. Here is the something like the history of arm_{skip,scan,analyze}_prologue. Around 2002, there are arm_skip_prologue and arm_scan_prologue, but code are duplicated to some extent. When match an instruction, both functions should be modified, for example in Michael Snyder's patch https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2002-05/msg00205.html and Michael expressed the willingness to merge both into one. Daniel added code call thumb_analyze_prologue in arm_skip_prologue in 2006, but didn't handle its counterpart arm_analyze_prologue, which is added in 2010 <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-03/msg00820.html> however, the instructions matching at the bottom of arm_skip_prologue wasn't cleaned up. This patch is to merge them into arm_analyze_prologue. gdb: 2014-12-12 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com> PR tdep/14261 * arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_prologue): Remove unused local variable 'skip_pc'.
