Fix MI output for multi-location breakpoints
New in v2:
- Addressed comments about doc, updated the MI version table
- New doc for the Breakpoint information format
- New -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output command, with associated
doc, test and NEWS updated accordingly
- Fixed the output, the locations list is now actually in the tuple
representing the breakpoint.
Various MI commands or events related to breakpoints output invalid MI
records when printing information about a multi-location breakpoint.
For example:
-break-insert allo
^done,bkpt={...,addr="<MULTIPLE>",...},{number="1.1",...},{number="1.2",...}
The problem is that according to the syntax [1], the top-level elements
are of type "result" and should be of the form "variable=value".
This patch changes the output to wrap the locations in a list:
^done,bkpt={...,addr="<MULTIPLE>",locations=[{number="1.1",...},{number="1.2",...}]}
The events =breakpoint-created, =breakpoint-modified, as well as the
-break-info command also suffer from this (and maybe others I didn't
find).
Since this is a breaking change for MI, we have to deal somehow with
backwards compatibility. The approach taken by this patch is to bump
the MI version, use the new syntax in MI3 while retaining the old syntax
in MI2. Frontends are expected to use a precise MI version (-i=mi2), so
if they do that they should be unaffected.
The patch also adds the command -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output,
which front ends can use to enable this behavior with MI <= 2.
