gdb/mi: add regexp filtering to -file-list-exec-source-files
This commit extends the existing MI command -file-list-exec-source-files to provide the same regular expression based filtering that the equivalent CLI command "info sources" provides. The new command syntax is: -file-list-exec-source-files [--basename | --dirname] [--] [REGEXP] All options are optional, which ensures the command is backward compatible. As part of this work I have unified the CLI and MI code. As a result of the unified code I now provide additional information in the MI command output, there is now a new field 'debug-fully-read' included with each source file. This field which has the values 'true' or 'false', indicates if the source file is from a compilation unit that has had its debug information fully read. However, as this is additional information, a well written front-end should just ignore this field if it doesn't understand it, so things should still be backward compatible. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention additions to -file-list-exec-source-files. * mi/mi-cmd-file.c (print_partial_file_name): Delete. (mi_cmd_file_list_exec_source_files): Rewrite to handle command options, and make use of info_sources_worker. * symtab.c (struct info_sources_filter): Moved to symtab.h. (info_sources_filter::print): Take uiout argument, produce output through uiout. (struct output_source_filename_data) <output_source_filename_data>: Take uiout argument, store into m_uiout. <output>: Rewrite comment, add additional arguments to declaration. <operator()>: Send more arguments to output. <m_uiout>: New member variable. (output_source_filename_data::output): Take extra arguments, produce output through m_uiout, and structure for MI. (output_source_filename_data::print_header): Produce output through m_uiout. (info_sources_worker): New function, the implementation is taken from info_sources_command, but modified so produce output through a ui_out. (info_sources_command): The second half of this function has gone to become info_sources_worker. * symtab.h (struct info_sources_filter): Moved from symtab.c, add extra parameter to print member function. (info_sources_worker): Declare. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI File Commands): Document extensions to -file-list-exec-source-files. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-filename.exp: Update expected results. * gdb.mi/mi-file.exp: Likewise. * gdb.mi/mi-info-sources-base.c: New file. * gdb.mi/mi-info-sources.c: New file. * gdb.mi/mi-info-sources.exp: New file.

all locations of the selected breakpoint. This is equivalent to
the '-force' flag of the CLI's "cond" command.
+ ** '-file-list-exec-source-files [--basename | --dirname] [--] [REGEXP]'
+
+ The existing -file-list-exec-source-files command now takes an
+ optional REGEXP which is used to filter the source files that are
+ included in the results.
+
+ By default REGEXP is matched against the full filename of the
+ source file. When one of --basename or --dirname is given then
+ REGEXP is only matched against the specified part of the full
+ source filename.
+
+ The results from -file-list-exec-source-files now include a
+ 'debug-fully-read' field which takes the value 'true' or 'false'.
+ A 'true' value indicates the source file is from a compilation
+ unit that has had its debug information fully read in by GDB, a
+ value of 'false' indicates GDB has only performed a partial scan
+ of the debug information so far.
+
* GDB now supports core file debugging for x86_64 Cygwin programs.
* GDB will now look for the .gdbinit file in a config directory before
