iterate_over_symbols should be a wrapper? (was: "Re: GDB 7.4 branching status? (2011-11-23)")
I noticed that the following linespec does not work for Ada anymore:
(gdb) break FILE:FUNCTION
And that got me into looking how we do symbol matching. When no filename
is provided in the linespec, we call iterate_over_all_matching_symtabs,
which calls iterate_over_symbols over all symtabs, immediately followed
by:
if (current_language->la_iterate_over_symbols)
(*current_language->la_iterate_over_symbols) (name, domain,
So, basically, we do a first pass collecting symbols that follow
a certain matching algorithm, and then we do a second pass for
language that might require a different matching algorithm...
It seems to me that there should be only one, language-specific
matching routine, and iterate_over_symbols should call it.
So, my proposal is to change the profile of la_iterate_over_symbols
to match the iterate_over_symbols routine, and then then set
the la_iterate_over_symbols field to iterate_over_symbols for
all languages except Ada. The changes in ada_iterate_over_symbols
should be straightforward, since ada_lookup_symbol_list accepts
a block as well.
That would solve the problem above as well: When the linespec contains
a filename in it, add_matching_symbols_to_info only calls
iterate_over_symbols:
else if (pspace == NULL || pspace == SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt))
{
[...]
iterate_over_symbols (get_search_block (elt), name,
VAR_DOMAIN, collect_symbols,
info);
}
In the meantime, I applied a different type of patch which just
follows the current approach of doing the generic matching first,
followed by the language-specific one next. Attached is the
corresponding patch.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Call current_language->la_iterate_over_symbols for FILE:FUNCTION linespecs
Without this, breakpoints using FILE:FUNCTION linespecs fail
for Ada units. For instance, consider for the following trivial program:
procedure Foo is
begin
null;
end Foo;
Trying to insert a breakpoint on foo.adb:foo fails:
(gdb) b foo.adb:foo
Function "foo" not defined in "foo.adb".
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
This is because the default method of matching symbols does not work
in this case, because the linkage name for procedure "Foo" here is
_ada_foo. We need to apply Ada-specific symbol-name matching.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* linespec.c (add_matching_symbols_to_info): Add call
current_language->la_iterate_over_symbols after call to
iterate_over_symbols.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/file_fun_bp: New testcase.
