Emit inferior, thread and frame selection events to all UIs
With this patch, when an inferior, thread or frame is explicitly selected by the user, notifications will appear on all CLI and MI UIs. When a GDB console is integrated in a front-end, this allows the front-end to follow a selection made by the user ont he CLI, and it informs the user about selection changes made behind the scenes by the front-end. This patch addresses PR gdb/20487. In order to communicate frame changes to the front-end, this patch adds a new field to the =thread-selected event for the selected frame. The idea is that since inferior/thread/frame can be seen as a composition, it makes sense to send them together in the same event. The vision would be to eventually send the inferior information as well, if we find that it's needed, although the "=thread-selected" event would be ill-named for that job. Front-ends need to handle this new field if they want to follow the frame selection changes that originate from the console. The format of the frame attribute is the same as what is found in the *stopped events. Here's a detailed example for each command and the events they generate: thread ------ 1. CLI command: thread 1.3 MI event: =thread-selected,id="3",frame={...} 2. MI command: -thread-select 3 CLI event: [Switching to thread 1.3 ...] 3. MI command (CLI-in-MI): thread 1.3 MI event/reply: &"thread 1.3\n" ~"#0 child_sub_function () ... =thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="0",...} ^done frame ----- 1. CLI command: frame 1 MI event: =thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1",...} 2. MI command: -stack-select-frame 1 CLI event: #1 0x00000000004007f0 in child_function... 3. MI command (CLI-in-MI): frame 1 MI event/reply: &"frame 1\n" ~"#1 0x00000000004007f9 in ..." =thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1"...} ^done inferior -------- Inferior selection events only go from the console to MI, since there's no way to select the inferior in pure MI. 1. CLI command: inferior 2 MI event: =thread-selected,id="3" Note that if the user selects an inferior that is not started or exited, the MI doesn't receive a notification. Since there is no threads to select, the =thread-selected event does not apply... 2. MI command (CLI-in-MI): inferior 2 MI event/reply: &"inferior 2\n" ~"[Switching to inferior 2 ...]" =thread-selected,id="4",frame={level="0"...} ^done Internal implementation detail: this patch makes it possible to suppress notifications caused by a CLI command, like what is done in mi-interp.c. This means that it's now possible to use the add_com_suppress_notification function to register a command with some event suppressed. It is used to implement the select-frame command in this patch. The function command_notifies_uscc_observer was added to extract the rather complicated logical expression from the if statement. It is also now clearer what that logic does: if the command used by the user already notifies the user_selected_context_changed observer, there is not need to notify it again. It therefore protects again emitting the event twice. No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 x86 with target boards unix and native-extended-gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog: YYYY-MM-DD Antoine Tremblay <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com> YYYY-MM-DD Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@ericsson.com> PR gdb/20487 * NEWS: Mention new frame field of =thread-selected event. * cli/cli-decode.c (add_cmd): Initialize c->suppress_notification.
