Hi, Attached is the latest version of the patch which adds the debug methods feature to the GDB Python API. Changes from previous versions: 1. From the user point of view, the debug method API exposes a concept of a DebugMethodMatcher, and a DebugMethodWorker. A DebugMethodMatcher matches class type and method name, and a DebugMethodWorker is the worker which actually invokes the debug method. A DebugMethodWorker also does arg type matching indirectly. Internally, GDB first calls the DebugMethodMatcher which returns all matching workers. Next, GDB picks a winner among these workers based on the arg types the workers return/serve. Finally, the winning worker is invoked. A matcher can manage a number of named workers which a user can enable/disable using the appropriate command. 2. Formatting cleanup. There could be other tabs vs space formatting issues still left, especially on the GDB side of the *.c changes. I am working on cleaning up the code changes in this part. I will fix the formatting issues along with it. 3. No docs yet as the actual Python API is not yet finalized. 2014-01-22 Siva Chandra Reddy <sivachandra@google.com> * Makefile.in: Add entries for new files. * data-directory/Makefile.in: Add entries for new Python files. * eval.c (evaluate_subexp_standard): Lookup and invoke methods defined in extension languages. * valarith.c (value_x_binop, value_x_unop): Lookup and invoke overloaded operator methods defined in extension languages. * valops.c (find_oload_method_list, find_method_list, find_overload_match, find_oload_champ): Lookup methods defined in extension languages. (value_has_indirect_dynamic_type): New function to determine the indirect dynamic type of a value. * value.h (find_overload_match): Update signature. * ext-function.c: New file. * ext-function.h: New file. * python/py-debugmethods.c: New file. * python/py-objfile.c (objfile_object): New field 'debugmethod_matchers'.
