Hi,
watch_command_1 duplicates logic from update_watchpoint to decide
whether the newly created watchpoint should be a software watchpoint or
a hardware watchpoint, and also to error out if trying to set up a read
or access watchpoint without having debug registers available.
I was trying to adapt the logic in both places for masked watchpoints,
but it's hard to anticipate in watch_command_1 what update_watchpoint
will ultimately do without duplicating a good portion of the latter. The
code in watch_command_1 was getting complicated and hard to get right in
all situations for something which would be done again later anyway.
I decided that it was cleaner if watch_command_1 just delegated
everything to update_watchpoint. This patch makes it create a
watchpoint, call update_watchpoint and then delete it if some error is
hit. The only drawback I can think of is that the aborted watchpoint
will "consume" one breakpoint number, and thus GDB will skip one number
when creating the next breakpoint/watchpoint. This doesn't seem
important to me.
Tested without regressions on ppc-linux, ppc64-linux and i386-linux. Ok?

* breakpoint.c (update_watchpoint): Change between software and
hardware watchpoint for all kinds of watchpoints, not just
read/write ones. Determine b->exact value here instead of
in watch_command_1. Error out if there are not enough resources
for a read or access hardware watchpoint.
(watch_command_1): Remove logic of checking whether there are
enough resources available, since update_watchpoint will do that
work now. Don't set b->exact here. Catch exceptions thrown by
update_watchpoint and delete the watchpoint.
(can_use_hardware_watchpoint): Remove exact_watchpoints argument.
Use target_exact_watchpoints instead.
(delete_breakpoint): Add announce argument to control whether
observers are notified of the deletion. Update all callers.
