Re: [RFC - Python Scripting] New method Value.referenced_value to dereference pointer as well as reference values (with docs)


I have modified according to Eli's suggestions. Thanks Eli, for the review.

Attached is the patch with the modifications. Below are the Changelog entries.

Code Changelog:

2012-03-14 Siva Chandra <sivachandra@google.com>

        Python scripting: Add new method Value.referenced_value to
        gdb.Value which can dereference pointer as well as reference
        values.
        * NEWS: Add entry under 'Python scripting' about the new method
        Value.referenced_value on gdb.Value objects.
        * python/py-value.c (valpy_referenced_value): New function
        defining a new method on gdb.Value objects which can dereference
        pointer and reference values.
        * testsuite/gdb.python/py-value.cc: Add test case for
        testing the methodology exposing C++ values to Python.
        * testsuite/gdb.python/py-value-cc.exp: Add tests testing the
        methodology exposing C++ values to Python.

Docs Changelog:

2012-03-14 Siva Chandra <sivachandra@google.com>

        * gdb.texinfo (Python API/Values From Inferior): Add description
        about the new method Value.referenced_value.  Add description on
        how Value.dereference is different (and similar) to
        Value.referenced_value.

Thanks,
