[gdb/symtab] Prefer def over decl (inter-CU case, with context)
This is a follow-up patch on "[PATCH][gdb/symtab] Prefer def over decl (inter-CU case)" ( https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-April/167489.html ). Consider the test-case from that patch. It contains a decl and def of var a in different CUs, and tests whether var a can be printed using the def, even if the decl is found first. However, the test-case does this in a contextless environment, so if we add to the test-case like this to set the context to the CU containing main: ... gdb_test "p a" { = \{1, 2\}} + +if ![runto_main] then { + fail "can't run to main" + return 0 +} + +gdb_test "p a" { = \{1, 2\}} ... then the second test fails, because the decl is found in the context. Fix this by preferring defs over decls in lookup_global_symbol. Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-04-23 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * symtab.c (lookup_global_symbol): Prefer def over decl. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2020-04-23 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * gdb.base/decl-before-def.exp: Run to main and print a again.
