Re: [RFA 3/9] Explicit locations v2 - Locations refactor


Hi.

While I think I may have more comments for this part,
I need to send this out now.
I'll return to it later if I think of something.
I'll try to get to the other patches in the series this week.

Thanks!

As I'm reading this the ownership of the location string is murky.

I'm not sure how many event locations there'll be but I wonder
if it would be preferable to have a constructor for each kind,
and then the constructor for linespec locations can xstrdup
the string.

Plus you're making a copy with "copy_location = *location",
but locations have a (pseudo-)copy-constructor
(e.g., copy_event_location will xstrdup the linespec string).

Another case of murky ownership of the location string.
I see that it could work since one isn't going to call delete_event_location
here (which would xfree an ASTRDUP's string).
[And with c++ we could write code without having to worry about such things.]
I guess I don't have *that* strong an opinion on needing to change things here.

struct breakpoint now has "loc" and "location".
Yeah, I think we need some naming changes.
[not sure what to though]

I like the idea of a linespec-specific constructor the more I read this
pattern of new_event_location followed by setting EVENT_LOCATION_LINESPEC.
E.g.,
  b->location = new_linespec_event_location (func_name);
or some such.

Using a linespec-specific constructor would be harder here though.
[absent c++]
Still, it feels warranted (i.e., delete new_event_location in favor
of constructors for each kind).
If using xstrprintf to get *address appears often enough one could
write a simpler wrapper.
Haven't seen the rest of the patchset though.

Not a problem introduced by your patch of course, so don't change anything,
but boy this function's API feels overloaded (parse_arg == 0, != 0).

This feels a bit clumsy.
How about adding a location.c API function to set save_spec?

  if (EVENT_LOCATION_SAVE_SPEC (b->location) == NULL)
    set_event_location_save_spec (b->location);

or some such?

Why is copy_location is needed here?

and I'm just wondering if there's a simplification possible here, dunno]

A short comment explaining why setting arg here is necessary would help
me the reader.  Looking at breakpoint.c I see it checking *arg for whether
there is junk at the end of the arguments, so now I'm wondering if this
part is correct.

It's weird storing "-m " as part of the linespec.
Is this addressed in a later patch maybe?

Assigning to arg1 here is another case of setting something right before
the "junk at end of line spec" check.  Is this right?
[It seems like arg1 would point to a beginning of the linespec and
thus always trigger the error.]

Yikes, I just noticed EVENT_LOCATION_LINESPEC is both an enum and a macro. :)
One of them needs a better name.
