From: "Ijaz, Abdul B" <abdul.b.ijaz@intel.com>
For C/C++/Fortran languages GDB prints same name variable multiple times in
case of variable shadowing and it is confusing for user to identify which
variable belongs to the current scope. So GDB now prints location information
for shadowed variables and add 'shadowed' field also in '-stack-list-locals'
and '-stack-list-variables' mi commands for super-block shadowed variable.
Suppose we have test.c file
1:int x = 42;
2: {
3: int x = 99;
4: int y = 52;
4: x = 99; /* break here */
5: }
The "-stack-list-locals" and "-stack-list-variables" mi commands at the
"break here" line gives the following output:
Before the change:
~~~
(gdb)
-stack-list-locals 0
^done,locals=[name="x",name="y",name="x"]
(gdb)
-stack-list-locals 1
^done,locals=[{name="x",value="99"},{name="y",value="52"},{name="x",value="42"}]
(gdb)
-stack-list-locals 2
^done,locals=[{name="x",type="int",value="99"},{name="y",type="int",value="52"},{name="x",type="int",value="42"}]
(gdb)
-stack-list-variables 0
^done,variables=[{name="x"},{name="y"},{name="x"}]
(gdb)
-stack-list-variables 1
^done,variables=[{name="x",value="99"},{name="y",value="52"},{name="x",value="42"}]
(gdb)
-stack-list-variables 2
^done,variables=[{name="x",type="int",value="99"},{name="y",type="int",value="52"},{name="x",type="int",value="42"}]
~~~
With this patch we obtain:
~~~
(gdb)
-stack-list-locals 0
^done,locals=[name="x",name="y",name="x"]
(gdb)
-stack-list-locals 1
^done,locals=[{name="x",value="99",file="test.c",line="4"},{name="y",value="52"},{name="x",value="42",file="test.c",line="2",shadowed="true"}]

^done,variables=[{name="x",value="99",file="test.c",line="4"},{name="y",value="52"},{name="x",value="42",file="test.c",line="2",shadowed="true"}]
