enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of async
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default. However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do -- we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat "set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default behavior of execution commands. So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific, and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target. Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes "set target-async" a deprecated alias. Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new "maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode seems unlikely to go away. Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the maint option. I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not have that transitory state in the tree. Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling. 2014-05-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com> * NEWS: Mention "maint set target-async", "set mi-async", and that background execution commands are now always available. * target.h (target_async_permitted): Update comment. * target.c (target_async_permitted, target_async_permitted_1): Default to 1.
