gdb: Use C++11 std::chrono
This patch fixes a few problems with GDB's time handling. #1 - It avoids problems with gnulib's C++ namespace support On MinGW, the struct timeval that should be passed to gnulib's gettimeofday replacement is incompatible with libiberty's timeval_sub/timeval_add. That's because gnulib also replaces "struct timeval" with its own definition, while libiberty expects the system's. E.g., in code like this: gettimeofday (&prompt_ended, NULL); timeval_sub (&prompt_delta, &prompt_ended, &prompt_started); timeval_add (&prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_delta); That's currently handled in gdb by not using gnulib's gettimeofday at all (see common/gdb_sys_time.h), but that #undef hack won't work with if/when we enable gnulib's C++ namespace support, because that mode adds compile time warnings for uses of ::gettimeofday, which are hard errors with -Werror. #2 - But there's an elephant in the room: gettimeofday is not monotonic... We're using it to: a) check how long functions take, for performance analysis b) compute when in the future to fire events in the event-loop c) print debug timestamps But that's exactly what gettimeofday is NOT meant for. Straight from the man page: ~~~ The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by discontinuous jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system administrator manually changes the system time). If you need a monotonically increasing clock, see clock_gettime(2). ~~~ std::chrono (part of the C++11 standard library) has a monotonic clock exactly for such purposes (std::chrono::steady_clock). This commit switches to use that instead of gettimeofday, fixing all the issues mentioned above. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-11-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * Makefile.in (SFILES): Add common/run-time-clock.c.
