Implement explicit locations for Python breakpoints.
This introduces several new keywords to the bppy_init constructor. The spec parameter is now optional but mutually exclusive to the explicit keywords source, label, function and line. gdb/ChangeLog 2017-12-07 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com> * python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Use string_to_event_location over basic location code. Implement explicit location keywords. (bppy_init_validate_args): New function. * NEWS: Document Python explicit breakpoint locations. doc/ChangeLog 2017-12-07 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com> * python.texi (Breakpoints In Python): Add text relating to allowed explicit locations and keywords in gdb.Breakpoints. testsuite/ChangeLog 2017-12-07 Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon@redhat.com> * gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp (test_bkpt_explicit_loc): Add new tests for explicit locations.
