python: Add qualified parameter to gdb.Breakpoint
This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python. It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec. The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).
Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec. Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.
I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test. To be able to test multiple
locations using a namespace, I had to switch the test case to compile as
C++. If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* location.h (string_to_event_location): Add match_type
parameter.
* location.c (string_to_event_location): Likewise.
* python/py-breakpoint.c (bppy_init): Handle qualified
parameter.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Manipulating breakpoints using Python): Document
qualified parameter to gdb.Breakpoint.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-breakpoint.c (foo_ns::multiply): New function.
* gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp: Compile the test case as c++,
call test_bkpt_qualified.
(test_bkpt_qualified): New proc.
