Handle "p S::method()::static_var" in the C++ parser
This commit makes "print S::method()::static_var" actually find the debug symbol for static_var. Currently, you get: (gdb) print S::method()::static_var A syntax error in expression, near `'. Quoting the whole string would seemingly work before the previous patch that made GDB stop assuming int for no-debug-info variables: (gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var' $1 = 1 ... except that's incorrect output, because: (gdb) ptype 'S::method()::static_var' type = <data variable, no debug info> The way to make it work correctly currently is by quoting the function/method part, like this: (gdb) print 'S::method()'::static_var $1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3} (gdb) ptype 'S::method()'::static_var type = struct aggregate { int i1; int i2; int i3; } At least after the "stop assuming int" patch, this is what we now get: (gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var' 'S::method()::static_var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type (gdb) p (struct aggregate) 'S::method()::static_var' $1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3} However, IMO, users shouldn't really have to care about any of this. GDB should Just Work, without quoting, IMO. So here's a patch that implements support for that in the C++ parser. With this patch, you now get: (gdb) p S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate $1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3} (gdb) ptype S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate type = struct aggregate { int i1; int i2; int i3; } gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> (%type <voidval>): Add function_method. * c-exp.y (exp): New production for calls with no arguments.

+/* OP_FUNC_STATIC_VAR refers to a function local static variable. The

+ BYTES_TO_EXP_ELEM(length) elements containing the data of the
+ string, followed by the length again and the opcode again.
+
+ Note this is used by C++, but not C. The C parser handles local
+ static variables in the parser directly. Also, this is only used
+ in C++ if the function/method name is not quoted, like e.g.:
+
+ p S:method()::var
+ p S:method() const::var
+
+ If the function/method is quoted like instead:
+
+ p 'S:method() const'::var
+
