Explicit locations: documentation updates
This patch adds documentation for explicit locations to both the User Manual and gdb's online help system. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention explicit locations. * breakpoint.c [LOCATION_HELP_STRING]: New macro. [BREAK_ARGS_HELP]: Use LOCATION_HELP_STRING. (_initialize_breakpoint): Update documentation for "clear", "break", "trace", "strace", "ftrace", and "dprintf". gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Thread-Specific Breakpoints, Printing Source Lines): Use "location(s)"instead of "linespec(s)". (Specifying a Location): Rewrite. Add subsections describing linespec, address, and explicit locations. Add node/menu for each subsection. (Source and Machine Code, C Preprocessor Macros) (Create and Delete Trace points) (Extensions for Ada Tasks): Use "location(s)" instead of "linespec(s)". (Continuing at a Different Address): Remove "linespec" examples. Add reference to "Specify a Location" (The -break-insert Command): Rewrite. Add anchor. Add reference to appropriate manual section discussing locations. (The -dprintf-insert Command): Refer to -break-insert for specification of 'location'. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/help.exp: Update help_breakpoint_text.
