Introduce generic command options framework
This commit adds a generic command options framework, that makes it easy enough to add '-'-style options to commands in a uniform way, instead of each command implementing option parsing in its own way. Options are defined in arrays of option_def objects (for option definition), and the same options definitions are used for supporting TAB completion, and also for generating the relevant help fragment of the "help" command. See the gdb::options::build_help function, which returns a string with the result of replacing %OPTIONS% in a template string with an auto-generated "help" string fragment for all the passed-in options. Since most options in GDB are in the form of "-OPT", with a single dash, this is the format that the framework supports. I like to think of gdb's "-OPT" as the equivalent to getopt's long options format ("--OPT"), and gdb's "/" as the equivalent to getopt's short options format. getopt's short options format allows mixing several one-character options, like "ls -als", kind of similar to gdb's "x /FMT" and "disassemble /MOD", etc. While with gdb's "-" options, the option is expected to have a full name, and to be abbreviatable. E.g., "watch -location", "break -function main", etc. This patch only deals with "-" options. The above comment serves more to disclose why I don't think we should support mixing several unrelated options in a single "-" option invocation, like "thread apply -qcs" instead of "thread apply -q -c -s". The following patches will add uses of the infrastructure to several key commands. Most notably, "print", "compile print", "backtrace", "frame apply" and "thread apply". I tried to add options to several commands in order to make sure the framework didn't leave that many open holes open. Options use the same type as set commands -- enum var_types. So boolean options are var_boolean, enum options are var_enum, etc. The idea is to share code between settings commands and command options. The "print" options will be based on the "set print" commands, and their names will be the same. Actually, their definitions will be the same too. There is a function to create "set/show" commands from an array for option definitions: /* Install set/show commands for options defined in OPTIONS. DATA is a pointer to the structure that holds the data associated with the OPTIONS array. */ extern void add_setshow_cmds_for_options (command_class cmd_class, void *data, gdb::array_view<const option_def> options, struct cmd_list_element **set_list, struct cmd_list_element **show_list); That will be used by several following patches. Other features: - You can use the "--" delimiter to explicitly indicate end of options. Several existing commands use this token sequence for this effect already, so this just standardizes it. - You can shorten option names, as long as unambiguous. Currently, some commands allow this (e.g., break -function), while others do not (thread apply all -ascending). As GDB allows abbreviating command names and other things, it feels more GDB-ish to allow abbreviating option names too, to me. - For boolean options, 0/1 stands for off/on, just like with boolean "set" commands. - For boolean options, "true" is implied, just like with boolean "set commands. These are the option types supported, with a few examples: - boolean options (var_boolean). The option's argument is optional. (gdb) print -pretty on -- *obj (gdb) print -pretty off -- *obj (gdb) print -p -- *obj (gdb) print -p 0 -- *obj - flag options (like var_boolean, but no option argument (on/off)) (gdb) thread apply all -s COMMAND - enum options (var_enum) (gdb) bt -entry-values compact (gdb) bt -e c - uinteger options (var_uinteger) (gdb) print -elements 100 -- *obj (gdb) print -e 100 -- *obj (gdb) print -elements unlimited -- *obj (gdb) print -e u -- *obj - zuinteger-unlimited options (var_zuinteger_unlimited) (gdb) print -max-depth 100 -- obj (gdb) print -max-depth -1 -- obj (gdb) print -max-depth unlimited -- obj Other var_types could be supported, of course. These were just the types that I needed for the commands that I ported over, in the following patches. It was interesting (and unfortunate) to find that we need at least 3 different modes to cover the existing commands: - Commands that require ending options with "--" if you specify any option: "print" and "compile print". - Commands that do not want to require "--", and want to error out if you specify an unknown option (i.e., an unknown argument that starts with '-'): "compile code" / "compile file". - Commands that do not want to require "--", and want to process unknown options themselves: "bt", because of "bt -COUNT", "thread/frame apply", because "-" is a valid command. The different behavior is encoded in the process_options_mode enum, passed to process_options/complete_options. For testing, this patch adds one representative maintenance command for each of the process_options_mode values, that are used by the testsuite to exercise the options framework: (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-error (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-operand and adds another command to help with TAB-completion testing: (gdb) maint show test-options-completion-result See their description at the top of the maint-test-options.c file.

+/* This file defines three "maintenance test-options" subcommands to
+ exercise TAB-completion and option processing:
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter
+ (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-error
+ (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-operand
+
+ And a fourth one to help with TAB-completion testing.
+
+ (gdb) maint show test-options-completion-result
+
+ Each of the test-options subcommands exercise
+ gdb::option::process_options with a different enum
+ process_options_mode value. Examples for commands they model:
+
+ - "print" and "compile print", are like "require-delimiter",
+ because they accept random expressions as argument.
+
+ - "backtrace" and "frame/thread apply" are like
+ "unknown-is-operand", because "-" is a valid command.
+
+ - "compile file" and "compile code" are like "unknown-is-error".
+
+ These commands allow exercising all aspects of option processing
+ without having to pick some existing command. That should be more
+ stable going forward than relying on an existing user command,
+ since if we picked say "print", that command or its options could
+ change in future, and then we'd be left with having to pick some
+ other command or option to exercise some non-command-specific
+ option processing detail. Also, actual user commands have side
+ effects that we're not interested in when we're focusing on unit
+ testing the options machinery. BTW, a maintenance command is used
+ as a sort of unit test driver instead of actual "maint selftest"
+ unit tests, since we need to go all the way via gdb including
+ readline, for proper testing of TAB completion.
+
+ These maintenance commands support options of all the different
+ available kinds of commands (boolean, enum, flag, uinteger):
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter -[TAB]
+ -bool -enum -flag -uinteger -xx1 -xx2
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter -bool o[TAB]
+ off on
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter -enum [TAB]
+ xxx yyy zzz
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter -uinteger [TAB]
+ NUMBER unlimited
+
+ '-xx1' and '-xx2' are flag options too. They exist in order to
+ test ambiguous option names, like '-xx'.
+
+ Invoking the commands makes them print out the options parsed:
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-error -flag -enum yyy cmdarg
+ -flag 1 -xx1 0 -xx2 0 -bool 0 -enum yyy -uint 0 -zuint-unl 0 -- cmdarg
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter -flag -enum yyy cmdarg
+ -flag 0 -xx1 0 -xx2 0 -bool 0 -enum xxx -uint 0 -zuint-unl 0 -- -flag -enum yyy cmdarg
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter -flag -enum yyy cmdarg --
+ Unrecognized option at: cmdarg --
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter -flag -enum yyy -- cmdarg
+ -flag 1 -xx1 0 -xx2 0 -bool 0 -enum yyy -uint 0 -zuint-unl 0 -- cmdarg
+
+ The "maint show test-options-completion-result" command exists in
+ order to do something similar for completion:
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-error -flag -b 0 -enum yyy OPERAND[TAB]
+ (gdb) maint show test-options-completion-result
+ 0 OPERAND
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-error -flag -b 0 -enum yyy[TAB]
+ (gdb) maint show test-options-completion-result
+ 1
+
+ (gdb) maint test-options require-dash -unknown[TAB]
+ (gdb) maint show test-options-completion-result
+ 1
+
+ Here, "1" means the completion function processed the whole input
+ line, and that the command shouldn't do anything with the arguments,
+ since there are no operands. While "0" indicates that there are
+ operands after options. The text after "0" is the operands.
+
+ This level of detail is particularly important because getting the
+ completion function's entry point to return back to the caller the
+ right pointer into the operand is quite tricky in several
+ scenarios. */
