commit c7c1b3e998a77eb077ac3c08c88a97d2e11dfef0

    Explicit locations: introduce new struct event_location-based API
    
    This patch introduces the new breakpoint/"linespec" API based on
    a new struct event_location.  This API currently only supports
    traditional linespecs, maintaining the status quo of the code base.
    Future patches will add additional functionality for other location
    types such as address locations.

commit f00aae0f7b11c4dc85c38d5fad46975033ba3fff
Author: Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Aug 11 17:09:35 2015 -0700

    Explicit locations: use new location API
    
    This patch converts the code base to use the new struct event_location
    API being introduced. This patch preserves the current functionality and
    adds no new features.
    
    The "big picture" API usage introduced by this patch may be illustrated
    with a simple exmaple. Where previously developers would write:
    
    void
    my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
    {
       create_breakpoint (..., arg, ...);
       ...
    }
    
    one now uses:
    
    void
    my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
    {
       struct event_locaiton *location;
       struct cleanup *back_to;
    
       location = string_to_event_locaiton (&arg, ...);
       back_to = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
       create_breakpoint (..., location, ...);
       do_cleanups (back_to);
    }
    
    Linespec-decoding functions (now called location-decoding) such as
    decode_line_full no longer skip argument pointers over processed input.
    That functionality has been moved into string_to_event_location as
    demonstrated above.

commit a06efdd6effd149a1d392df8d62824e44872003a
Author: Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Aug 11 17:09:35 2015 -0700

    Explicit locations: introduce address locations
    
    This patch adds support for address locations, of the form "*ADDR".
    [Support for address linespecs has been removed/replaced by this "new"
    location type.] This patch also converts any existing address locations
    from its previous linespec type.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* breakpoint.c (create_thread_event_breakpoint, init_breakpoint_sal):
    	Convert linespec to address location.
    	* linespec.c (canonicalize_linespec): Do not handle address
    	locations here.
    	(convert_address_location_to_sals): New function; contents moved
    	from ...
    	(convert_linespc_to_sals): ... here.
    	(parse_linespec): Remove address locations from linespec grammar.
    	Remove handling of address locations.
    	(linespec_lex_to_end): Remove handling of address linespecs.
    	(event_location_to_sals): Handle ADDRESS_LOCATION.
    	(linespec_expression_to_pc): Export.
    	* linespec.h (linespec_expression_to_pc): Add declaration.
    	* location.c (struct event_location.u) <address>: New member.
    	(new_address_location, get_address_location): New functions.
    	(copy_event_location, delete_event_location, event_location_to_string)
    	(string_to_event_location, event_location_empty_p): Handle address
    	locations.
    	* location.h (enum event_location_type): Add ADDRESS_LOCATION.
    	(new_address_location, get_address_location): Declare.
    	* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init): Convert linespec
    	to address location.
    	* spu-tdep.c (spu_catch_start): Likewise.

    Explicit locations: introduce explicit locations
    
    This patch add support for explicit locations and switches many linespec
    locations to this new location type.  This patch also converts all
    linespec locations entered by the user to an explicit representation
    internally (thus bypassing the linespec parser when resetting the
    breakpoint).
    
    This patch does not introduce any user-visible changes.
    
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* break-catch-throw.c (re_set_exception_catchpoint): Convert
    	linespec into explicit location.
    	* breakpoint.c (create_overlay_breakpoint)
    	(create_longjmp_master_breakpoint)
    	(create_std_terminate_master_breakpoint)
    	(create_exception_master_breakpoint): Convert linespec into explicit
    	location.
    	(update_static_tracepoint): Convert linespec into explicit location.
    	* linespec.c (enum offset_relative_sign, struct line_offset): Move
    	location.h.
    	(struct linespec) <expression, expr_pc, source_filename>
    	<function_name, label_name, line_offset>: Replace with ...
    	<explicit>: ... this.
    	<is_linespec>: New member.
    	(PARSER_EXPLICIT): New accessor macro.
    	(undefined_label_error): New function.
    	(source_file_not_found_error): New function.
    	(linespec_parse_basic): The parser result is now an explicit location.
    	Use PARSER_EXPLICIT to access it.
    	Use undefined_label_error.
    	(canonicalize_linespec): Convert canonical linespec into explicit
    	location.
    	Move string representation of location to explicit_location_to_linespec
    	and use it and explicit_location_to_string to save string
    	representations of the canonical location.
    	(create_sals_line_offset, convert_linespec_to_sals): `ls' contains an
    	explicit location.  Update all references.
    	(convert_explicit_location_to_sals): New function.
    	(parse_linespec): Use PARSER_EXPLICIT to access the parser
    	result's explicit location.
    	(linespec_state_constructor): Initialize is_linespec.
    	Use PARSER_EXPLICIT.
    	(linespec_parser_delete): Use PARSER_EXPLICIT to access the parser's
    	result.
    	(event_location_to_sals): For linespec locations, set is_linespec.
    	Handle explicit locations.
    	(decode_objc): 'ls' contains an explicit location now. Update all
    	references.
    	(symtabs_from_filename): Use source_file_not_found_error.
    	* location.c (struct event_location.u) <explicit>: New member.
    	(initialize_explicit_location): New function.
    	(initialize_event_location): Initialize explicit locations.
    	(new_explicit_location, get_explicit_location)
    	(get_explicit_location_const): New functions.
    	(explicit_to_string_internal): New function; most of contents moved
    	from canonicalize_linespec.
    	(explicit_location_to_string): New function.
    	(explicit_location_to_linespec): New function.
    	(copy_event_location, delete_event_location)
    	(event_location_to_string_const, event_location_empty_p): Handle
    	explicit locations.
    	* location.h (enum offset_relative_sign, struct line_offset): Move
    	here from linespec.h.
    	(enum event_location_type): Add EXPLICIT_LOCATION.
    	(struct explicit_location): New structure.
    	(explicit_location_to_string): Declare.

commit 87f0e7204722a986f79f245eee716f0870832d47

    Explicit locations: add UI features for CLI
    
    This patch exposes explicit locations to the CLI user.  This enables
    users to "explicitly" specify attributes of the breakpoint location
    to avoid any ambiguity that might otherwise exist with linespecs.
    
    The general syntax of explicit locations is:
    -source SOURCE_FILENAME -line {+-}LINE -function FUNCTION_NAME
    -label LABEL_NAME
    
    Option names may be abbreviated, e.g., "-s SOURCE_FILENAME -li 3" and users
    may use the completer with either options or values.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* completer.c: Include location.h.
    	(enum match_type): New enum.
    	(location_completer): Rename to ...
    	(linespec_completer): ... this.
    	(collect_explicit_location_matches, backup_text_ptr)
    	(explicit_location_completer): New functions.
    	(location_completer): "New" function; handle linespec
    	and explicit location completions.
    	(complete_line_internal): Remove all location completer-specific
    	handling.
    	* linespec.c (linespec_lexer_lex_keyword, is_ada_operator)
    	(find_toplevel_char): Export.
    	(linespec_parse_line_offset): Export.
    	Issue error if STRING is not numerical.
    	(gdb_get_linespec_parser_quote_characters): New function.
    	* linespec.h (linespec_parse_line_offset): Declare.
    	(get_gdb_linespec_parser_quote_characters): Declare.
    	(is_ada_operator): Declare.
    	(find_toplevel_char): Declare.
    	(linespec_lexer_lex_keyword): Declare.
    	* location.c (explicit_to_event_location): New function.
    	(explicit_location_lex_one): New function.
    	(string_to_explicit_location): New function.
    	(string_to_event_location): Handle explicit locations.
    	* location.h (explicit_to_event_location): Declare.
    	(string_to_explicit_location): Declare.
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.linespec/3explicit.c: New file.
    	* gdb.linespec/cpexplicit.cc: New file.
    	* gdb.linespec/cpexplicit.exp: New file.
    	* gdb.linespec/explicit.c: New file.
    	* gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: New file.
    	* gdb.linespec/explicit2.c: New file.
    	* gdb.linespec/ls-errs.exp: Add explicit location tests.
    	* lib/gdb.exp (capture_command_output): Regexp-escape `command'
    	before using in the matching pattern.
    	Clarify that `prefix' is a regular expression.

commit eb8c4e2e66329dc7bf2024d55991efe8587075c0
Author: Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Aug 11 17:09:36 2015 -0700

    Explicit locations: MI support for explicit locations
    
    This patch adds support for explicit locations to MI's -break-insert
    command. The new options, documented in the User Manual, are
    --source, --line, --function, and --label.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* mi/mi-cmd-break.c (mi_cmd_break_insert_1): Add support for
    	explicit locations, options "--source", "--function",
    	"--label", and "--line".
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.mi/mi-break.exp (test_explicit_breakpoints): New proc.
    	(at toplevel): Call test_explicit_breakpoints.
    	* gdb.mi/mi-dprintf.exp: Add tests for explicit dprintf
    	breakpoints.
    	* lib/mi-support.exp (mi_make_breakpoint): Add support for
    	breakpoint conditions, "-cond".

    Explicit locations: documentation updates
    
    This patch adds documentation for explicit locations to both the
    User Manual and gdb's online help system.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* NEWS: Mention explicit locations.
    	* breakpoint.c [LOCATION_HELP_STRING]: New macro.
    	[BREAK_ARGS_HELP]: Use LOCATION_HELP_STRING.
    	(_initialize_breakpoint): Update documentation for
    	"clear", "break", "trace", "strace", "ftrace", and "dprintf".
    
    gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.texinfo (Thread-Specific Breakpoints, Printing Source Lines):
    	Use "location(s)"instead of "linespec(s)".
    	(Specifying a Location): Rewrite.
    	Add subsections describing linespec, address, and explicit locations.
    	Add node/menu for each subsection.
    	(Source and Machine Code, C Preprocessor Macros)
    	(Create and Delete Trace points)
    	(Extensions for Ada Tasks): Use "location(s)" instead of "linespec(s)".
    	(Continuing at a Different Address): Remove "linespec" examples.
    	Add reference to "Specify a Location"
    	(The -break-insert Command): Rewrite.  Add anchor.
    	Add reference to appropriate manual section discussing locations.
    	(The -dprintf-insert Command): Refer to -break-insert for
    	specification of 'location'.

+@node Explicit Locations
+@subsection Explicit Locations
+@cindex explicit locations
+
+@dfn{Explicit locations} allow the user to directly specify the source
+location's parameters using option-value pairs.
+
+Explicit locations are useful when several functions, labels, or
+file names have the same name (base name for files) in the program's
+sources.  In these cases, explicit locations point to the source
+line you meant more accurately and unambiguously.  Also, using
+explicit locations might be faster in large programs.
+
+For example, the linespec @samp{foo:bar} may refer to a function @code{bar}
+defined in the file named @file{foo} or the label @code{bar} in a function
+named @code{foo}.  @value{GDBN} must search either the file system or
+the symbol table to know.
+
+The list of valid explicit location options is summarized in the
+following table:
+
+@table @code
+@item -source @var{filename}
+The value specifies the source file name.  To differentiate between
+files with the same base name, prepend as many directories as is necessary
+to uniquely identify the desired file, e.g., @file{foo/bar/baz.c}.  Otherwise
+@value{GDBN} will use the first file it finds with the given base
+name.   This option requires the use of either @code{-function} or @code{-line}.
+
+@item -function @var{function}
+The value specifies the name of a function.  Operations
+on function locations unmodified by other options (such as @code{-label}
+or @code{-line}) refer to the line that begins the body of the function.
+In C, for example, this is the line with the open brace.
+
+@item -label @var{label}
+The value specifies the name of a label.  When the function
+name is not specified, the label is searched in the function of the currently
+selected stack frame.
+
+@item -line @var{number}
+The value specifies a line offset for the location.  The offset may either
+be absolute (@code{-line 3}) or relative (@code{-line +3}), depending on
+the command.  When specified without any other options, the line offset is
+relative to the current line.
+@end table
+
+Explicit location options may be abbreviated by omitting any non-unique
+trailing characters from the option name, e.g., @code{break -s main.c -li 3}.
+
+@node Address Locations
+@subsection Address Locations
+@cindex address locations
+
+@dfn{Address locations} indicate a specific program address.  They have
+the generalized form *@var{address}.
+
+For line-oriented commands, such as @code{list} and @code{edit}, this
+specifies a source line that contains @var{address}.  For @code{break} and
+other breakpoint-oriented commands, this can be used to set breakpoints in
 parts of your program which do not have debugging information or
 source files.
 
 Here @var{address} may be any expression valid in the current working
 language (@pxref{Languages, working language}) that specifies a code
 address.  In addition, as a convenience, @value{GDBN} extends the
-semantics of expressions used in locations to cover the situations
