This patch fixes a problem with ObjC symbols not being properly skipped
over during decode_line_1 processing. ObjC symbols can have spaces and
parenthesis in them, so they need special handling, otherwise you get
odd warnings like:
Error in re-setting breakpoint 2:
Function "-[NSObject(NEXTSTEP)" not defined.
or
Error in re-setting breakpoint 2:
Function "" not defined.

* gdb/linespec.c (is_objc_method_format): New function (decode_line_1, locate_first_half): Use it.

I know Adam has asked this before, but I'm unsure if there was a definite reply, so let me reiterate...

Can this patch go into 6.0? (Please... :-) )

It really makes ObjC support look much better on its debut, and as Michael Chastain already mentioned, it has been on mainline for quite some time now working beautifully.

Cheers,
David Ayers
