gdb/breakpoint: disable a bp location if condition is invalid at that location
Currently, for a conditional breakpoint, GDB checks if the condition can be evaluated in the context of the first symtab and line (SAL). In case of an error, defining the conditional breakpoint is aborted. This prevents having a conditional breakpoint whose condition may actually be meaningful for some of the location contexts. This patch makes it possible to define conditional BPs by checking all location contexts. If the condition is meaningful for even one context, the breakpoint is defined. The locations for which the condition gives errors are disabled. The bp_location struct is introduced a new field, 'disabled_by_cond'. This field denotes whether the location is disabled automatically because the condition was non-evaluatable. Disabled-by-cond locations cannot be enabled by the user. But locations that are not disabled-by-cond can be enabled/disabled by the user manually as before. For a concrete example, consider 3 contexts of a function 'func'. class Base { public: int b = 20; void func () {} }; class A : public Base { public: int a = 10; void func () {} }; class C : public Base { public: int c = 30; void func () {} }; Note that * the variable 'a' is defined only in the context of A::func. * the variable 'c' is defined only in the context of C::func. * the variable 'b' is defined in all the three contexts. With the existing GDB, it's not possible to define a conditional breakpoint at 'func' if the condition refers to 'a' or 'c': (gdb) break func if a == 10 No symbol "a" in current context. (gdb) break func if c == 30 No symbol "c" in current context. (gdb) info breakpoints No breakpoints or watchpoints. With this patch, it becomes possible: (gdb) break func if a == 10 warning: failed to validate condition at location 1, disabling: No symbol "a" in current context. warning: failed to validate condition at location 3, disabling: No symbol "a" in current context. Breakpoint 1 at 0x11b6: func. (3 locations) (gdb) break func if c == 30 Note: breakpoint 1 also set at pc 0x11ce. Note: breakpoint 1 also set at pc 0x11c2. Note: breakpoint 1 also set at pc 0x11b6. warning: failed to validate condition at location 1, disabling: No symbol "c" in current context. warning: failed to validate condition at location 2, disabling: No symbol "c" in current context. Breakpoint 2 at 0x11b6: func.

Here, uppercase 'N' denotes that the location is disabled because of the invalid condition, as mentioned with a footnote in the legend of the table. Locations that are disabled by the user are still denoted with lowercase 'n'. Executing the code hits the breakpoints 1.2 and 2.3 as expected. Defining a condition on an unconditional breakpoint gives the same behavior above: (gdb) break func Breakpoint 1 at 0x11b6: func. (3 locations) (gdb) cond 1 a == 10 warning: failed to validate condition at location 1.1, disabling: No symbol "a" in current context. warning: failed to validate condition at location 1.3, disabling: No symbol "a" in current context.
