Add optional argument to command "maint prints c-tdesc"
Nowadays, we need two steps to print c files for xml target description, that is, 1) read xml target description in, update the current tdesc, 2) visit the current tdesc, print the c file. It is unnecessary to involve in current tdesc, and some validations in each gdbarch are performed unnecessarily, which will reject some target descriptions if they are missing some mandatory feature. This patch adds an optional argument to "maint print c-tdesc", which is an XML file target description, so that we can combine the two steps above into one step, and don't have to involve in global current tdesc. gdb: 2017-07-26 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * NEWS: Mention it. * features/Makefile (%.c: %.xml): Pass the xml file name to command "maint print c-tdesc". * target-descriptions.c (maint_print_c_tdesc_cmd): Get file name from 'arg'. gdb/doc: 2017-07-26 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * gdb.texinfo (Maintenance Commands): Document optional argument of "maint print c-tdesc".
