gdb/breakpoint: add flags to 'condition' and 'break' commands to force condition
The previous patch made it possible to define a condition if it's
valid at some locations. If the condition is invalid at all of the
locations, it's rejected. However, there may be cases where the user
knows the condition *will* be valid at a location in the future,
e.g. due to a shared library load.
To make it possible that such condition can be defined, this patch
adds an optional '-force' flag to the 'condition' command, and,
respectively, a '-force-condition' flag to the 'break'command. When
the force flag is passed, the condition is not rejected even when it
is invalid for all the current locations (note that all the locations
would be internally disabled in this case).
For instance:
(gdb) break test.c:5
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1155: file test.c, line 5.
(gdb) cond 1 foo == 42
No symbol "foo" in current context.
Defining the condition was not possible because 'foo' is not
available. The user can override this behavior with the '-force'
flag:
(gdb) cond -force 1 foo == 42
warning: failed to validate condition at location 1.1, disabling:
No symbol "foo" in current context.
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
stop only if foo == 42
1.1 N 0x0000000000001155 in main at test.c:5
Now the condition is accepted, but the location is automatically
disabled. If a future location has a context in which 'foo' is
available, that location would be enabled.
For the 'break' command, -force-condition has the same result:
(gdb) break test.c:5 -force-condition if foo == 42
warning: failed to validate condition at location 0x1169, disabling:
No symbol "foo" in current context.
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1169: file test.c, line 5.
