target factories, target open and multiple instances of targets
Currently, to open a target, with "target TARGET_NAME", GDB finds the target_ops instance with "TARGET_NAME" as short name, and then calls its target_ops::open virtual method. In reality, there's no actual target/name lookup, a pointer to the target_ops object was associated with the "target TARGET_NAME" command at add_target time (when GDB is initialized), as the command's context. This creates a chicken and egg situation. Consider the case of wanting to open multiple remote connections. We want to be able to have one remote target_ops instance per connection, but, if we're not connected yet, so we don't yet have an instance to call target->open() on... This patch fixes this by separating out common info about a target_ops to a separate structure (shortname, longname, doc), and changing the add_target routine to take a reference to such an object instead of a pointer to a target_ops, and a pointer to a factory function that is responsible to open an instance of the corresponding target when the user types "target TARGET_NAME". -extern void add_target (struct target_ops *); +extern void add_target (const target_info &info, target_open_ftype *func); I.e. this factory function replaces the target_ops::open virtual method. For static/singleton targets, nothing changes, the target_open_ftype function pushes the global target_ops instance on the target stack. At target_close time, the connection is tor down, but the global target_ops object remains live. However, targets that support being open multiple times will make their target_open_ftype routine allocate a new target_ops instance on the heap [e.g., new remote_target()], and push that on the stack. At target_close time, the new object is destroyed (by the target_ops::close virtual method). Both the core target and the remote targets will support being open multiple times (others could/should too, but those were my stopping point), but not in this patch yet. We need to get rid of more globals first before that'd be useful. Native targets are somewhat special, given find_default_run_target & friends. Those routines also expect to return a target_ops pointer, even before we've open the target. However, we'll never need more than one instance of the native target, so we can assume/require that native targets are global/simpletons, and have the backends register a pointer to the native target_ops. Since all native targets inherit inf_child_target, we can centralize that registration. See add_inf_child_target, get_native_target/set_native_target and find_default_run_target. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-05-02 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * aarch64-fbsd-nat.c (_initialize_aarch64_fbsd_nat): Use add_inf_child_target. * aarch64-linux-nat.c (_initialize_aarch64_linux_nat): Use add_inf_child_target. * aix-thread.c (aix_thread_target_info): New.
