gdb: give deprecated command warning for aliases with a prefix
I noticed that deprecated aliases that have a prefix don't give a deprecated command warning. For example looking in mi/mi-main.c we see this: c = add_alias_cmd ("target-async", "mi-async", class_run, 0, &setlist); deprecate_cmd (c, "set mi-async"); c = add_alias_cmd ("target-async", "mi-async", class_run, 0, &showlist); deprecate_cmd (c, "show mi-async"); So both 'set target-async' and 'show target-async' are deprecated and should be giving a warning, however, in use we see no warning given. This is a consequence of how the code that should give this warning (deprecated_cmd_warning) performs a second command lookup in order to distinguish between aliases and real commands, and that the code that calls this (lookup_cmd_1) strips off prefix commands as it calls itself recursively. As a result when we are considering an alias like 'set target-async' we first enter lookup_cmd_1 with text = "set target-async", we spot the 'set' command prefix and then recursively call lookup_cmd_1 with text = "target-async". We spot that 'target-async' is a known alias but that it is deprecated, and so call deprecated_cmd_warning passing in the value of text, which remember is now "target-async". In deprecated_cmd_warning we again perform a command lookup starting from the top-level cmdlist, but now we're trying to find just "target-async", this fails (as this command requires the 'set' prefix, and so no warning is given. I resolved this issue by passing a command list to the function deprecated_cmd_warning, this is the list in which the command can be found. A new test is added to cover this case. However, there is an additional problem which will be addressed in a subsequent patch. Consider this GDB session: (gdb) define set xxx_yyy Type commands for definition of "set xxx_yyy". End with a line saying just "end". >echo in set xxx_yyy command\n >end (gdb) alias set qqq_aaa=set xxx_yyy (gdb) maintenance deprecate set qqq_aaa (gdb) set qqq_aaa Warning: 'qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'xxx_yyy' is deprecated. No alternative known. in set xxx_yyy command (gdb) Notice the warning mentions 'qqq_aaa' and 'xxx_yyy', I consider this to be wrong. I think the proper warning should read: (gdb) set qqq_aaa Warning: 'set qqq_aaa', an alias for the command 'set xxx_yyy' is deprecated. No alternative known. With the 'set' prefixes added. A later patch will resolve this issue. gdb/ChangeLog: PR cli/15104 * cli/cli-decode.c (lookup_cmd_1): Pass command list to deprecated_cmd_warning. (deprecated_cmd_warning): Take extra parameter, call lookup_cmd_composition_1 and pass new parameter through. (lookup_cmd_composition_1): New function, takes implementation of lookup_cmd_composition but with extra parameter. (lookup_cmd_composition): Now calls lookup_cmd_composition_1 passing in cmdlist. * command.h (deprecated_cmd_warning): Add extra parameter to declaration. * top.c (execute_command): Pass cmdlist to deprecated_cmd_warning. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR cli/15104 * gdb.base/commands.exp: Add additional tests. * gdb.base/completion.exp: Add additional tests.
