[RFA/commit/testcase] "info line" should not skip prologues (was: "Re: GDB 7.4 branching status? (2011-11-23)")
This is an issue that I discovered in your previous set of patches, but
got fixed in this iteration :-). Nonetheless, I wrote a testcase,
so I'm sending it here. I think I should commit it independenly
of your series.
I had described the problem as follow:
> The "info line" command skips function prologues, but it shouldn't.
> Consider for instance the new testcase provided with this patch.
> The code looks like this:
>
> 17
> 18 int twice (int i) { /* THIS LINE */
> 19 /* We purposefully put the return type, function prototype and
> 20 opening curly brace on the same line, in an effort to make sure
> 21 that the function prologue would be associated to that line. */
> 22 return 2 * i;
> 23 }
>
> Without this patch, GDB would report the following address range
> for line 18:
>
> (gdb) info line 18
> Line 18 of "[...]/infoline.c" is at address 0x40049b <twice+7>
> but contains no code.
>
> The indicator that the prologue was skipped comes from the fact that
> the address chosen is at twice+7, not twice+0.
