Breakpoints in symbols with ABI tags (PR c++/19436)
Trying to set a breakpoint in a function with an ABI tag does not work
currently. E.g., debugging gdb itself, we see this with the
"string_printf" function:
(top-gdb) b string_print [TAB]
(top-gdb) b string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...) [RET]
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
Quoting doesn't help:
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11]'(char const*, ...)
malformed linespec error: unexpected string, "(char const*, ...)"
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)'
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
This patch fixes this, and takes it a bit further.
The actual symbol name as demangled by libiberty's demangler is really
string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)
however, this patch makes it possible to set the breakpoint with
string_printf(char const*, ...)
too. I.e., ignoring the ABI tag.
And to match, it teaches the completer to complete the symbol name
without the ABI tag, i.e.,
"string_pri<TAB>" -> "string_printf(char const*, ...)"
If however, you really want to break on a symbol with the tag, then
you simply start writing the tag, and GDB will preserve it, like:
"string_printf[a<TAB>" -> "string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)"
Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this:
-# of expected passes 8977
+# of expected passes 9176
