gdb: Add new commands to list module variables and functions
This patch adds two new commands "info module functions" and "info module variables". These commands list all of the functions and variables grouped by module and then by file. For example: (gdb) info module functions All functions in all modules: Module "mod1": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 35: void mod1::__copy_mod1_M1t1(Type m1t1, Type m1t1); 25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4)); 31: integer(kind=4) mod1::sub_m1_b(void); Module "mod2": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 41: void mod2::sub_m2_a(integer(kind=4), logical(kind=4)); 49: logical(kind=4) mod2::sub_m2_b(real(kind=4)); The new commands take set of flags that allow the output to be filtered, the user can filter by variable/function name, type, or containing module. As GDB doesn't currently track the relationship between a module and the variables or functions within it in the symbol table, so I filter based on the module prefix in order to find the functions or variables in each module. What this makes clear is that a user could get this same information using "info variables" and simply provide the prefix themselves, for example: (gdb) info module functions -m mod1 _a All functions matching regular expression "_a", in all modules matching regular expression "mod1": Module "mod1": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4)); Is similar to: (gdb) info functions mod1::.*_a.* All functions matching regular expression "mod1::.*_a": File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: 25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4)); The benefits I see for a separate command are that the user doesn't have to think (or know) about the module prefix format, nor worry about building a proper regexp. The user can also easily scan across modules without having to build complex regexps. The new function search_module_symbols is extern in this patch despite only being used within symtab.c, this is because a later patch in this series will also be using this function from outside symtab.c. This patch is a new implementation of an idea originally worked on by Mark O'Connor, Chris January, David Lecomber, and Xavier Oro from ARM. gdb/ChangeLog: * symtab.c (info_module_cmdlist): New variable. (info_module_command): New function. (search_module_symbols): New function. (info_module_subcommand): New function. (struct info_modules_var_func_options): New struct. (info_modules_var_func_options_defs): New variable. (make_info_modules_var_func_options_def_group): New function. (info_module_functions_command): New function. (info_module_variables_command): New function. (info_module_var_func_command_completer): New function. (_initialize_symtab): Register new 'info module functions' and 'info module variables' commands. * symtab.h (typedef symbol_search_in_module): New typedef. (search_module_symbols): Declare new function. * NEWS: Mention new commands. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Symbols): Document new 'info module variables' and 'info module functions' commands. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.fortran/info-modules.exp: Update expected results, and add additional tests for 'info module functinos', and 'info module variables'. * gdb.fortran/info-types.exp: Update expected results. * gdb.fortran/info-types.f90: Extend testcase with additional module variables and functions.
