The goal of this commit is to better define the API for
create_breakpoint especially around the use of extra_string and
parse_extra. This will be useful in the next commit when I plan to
make some changes to create_breakpoint.
This commit makes one possibly breaking change: until this commit it
was possible to create thread-specific dprintf breakpoint like this:
(gdb) dprintf call_me, thread 1 "%s", "hello"
Dprintf 2 at 0x401152: file /tmp/hello.c, line 8.
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 dprintf keep y 0x0000000000401152 in call_me at /tmp/hello.c:8 thread 1
stop only in thread 1
printf "%s", "hello"
(gdb)
this feature of dprintf was not documented, was not tested, and is
slightly different in syntax to how we create thread specific
breakpoints and/or watchpoints -- the thread condition appears after
the first ','.
I believe that this worked at all was simply by luck. We happen to
pass the parse_extra flag as true from dprintf_command to
create_breakpoint.
So in this commit I made the choice change this. We now pass
parse_extra as false from dprintf_command to create_breakpoint. With
this done it is assumed that the only thing in the extra_string is the
dprintf format and arguments.
Beyond this change I've updated the comment on create_breakpoint in
breakpoint.h, and I've then added some asserts into
create_breakpoint as well as moving around some of the error
handling.
- We now assert on the incoming argument values,
- I've moved an error check to sit after the call to
find_condition_and_thread_for_sals, this ensures the extra_string
was parsed correctly,
In dprintf_command:
- We now throw an error if there is no format string after the
dprintf location. This error was already being thrown, but was
being caught later in the process. With this change we catch the
missing string earlier,
- And, as mentioned earlier, we pass parse_extra as false when
calling create_breakpoint,
In create_tracepoint_from_upload:
- We now throw an error if the parsed location doesn't completely
consume the addr_str variable. This error has now effectively
moved out of create_breakpoint.
