Improve MI -var-info-path-expression for nested struct/union case.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-05/msg00383.html The MI command -var-info-path-expression currently does not handle non-anonymous structs / unions nested within other structs / unions, it will skip parts of the expression. Consider this example: ## START EXAMPLE ## $ cat ex.c #include <string.h> int main () { struct s1 { int a; }; struct ss { struct s1 x; }; struct ss an_ss; memset (&an_ss, 0, sizeof (an_ss)); return 0; } $ gcc -g -o ex.x ex.c $ gdb ex.x (gdb) break 18 Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18. (gdb) run Starting program: /home/user/ex.x Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18 18 return 0; (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-create an_ss * an_ss" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a" ^done,numchild="0",has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a" ^done,path_expr="(an_ss).a" (gdb) print (an_ss).a There is no member named a. ## END EXAMPLE ## Notice that the path expression returned is wrong, and as a result the print command fails. This patch adds a new method to the varobj_ops structure called is_path_expr_parent, to allow language specific control over finding the parent varobj, the current logic becomes the C/C++ version and is extended to handle the nested cases. No other language currently uses this code, so all other languages just get a default method. With this patch, the above example now finishes like this: ## START EXAMPLE ## $ gdb ex.x (gdb) break 18 Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18. (gdb) run Starting program: /home/user/ex.x Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18 18 return 0; (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x" ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a" ^done,numchild="0",has_more="0" (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a" ^done,path_expr="((an_ss).x).a" (gdb) print ((an_ss).x).a $1 = 0 ## END EXAMPLE ## Notice that the path expression is now correct, and the print is a success. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-varobj.c (ada_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. * c-varobj.c (c_is_path_expr_parent): New function, moved core from varobj.c, with additional checks. (c_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. (cplus_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. * jv-varobj.c (java_varobj_ops): Fill in is_path_expr_parent field. * varobj.c (is_path_expr_parent): Call is_path_expr_parent varobj ops method. (varobj_default_is_path_expr_parent): New function. * varobj.h (lang_varobj_ops): Add is_path_expr_parent field. (varobj_default_is_path_expr_parent): Declare new function. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/var-cmd.c (do_nested_struct_union_tests): New function setting up test structures. (main): Call new test function. * gdb.mi/mi2-var-child.exp: Create additional breakpoint in new test function, continue into test function and walk test structures.
