[RFC/PATCH] / command : fast way to change option(s), run a command, reset option(s).

GDB has a lot of settings related to how commands behaves and/or print things.
There is however currently no easy way to temporarily change a setting
for a command.
This patch implements a new command called /, that allows to temporarily
change the settings in order to execute another command.
The objective for this / command is to be fast to type, so it uses
1 or 2 letters codes to identify which option(s) to temporarily set.
Examples with printing an array:
********************************
gdb -ex 'b 24' -ex 'run' ./gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.ada/tick_length_array_enum_idx/foo_n207_004
Default setting: arrays are not pretty printed.
p full
$1 = (false, true, false, true, false)
To 'one time' pretty print an array, we currently need to do:
set print array on
p full
$2 = (false,
true,
false,
true,
false)
set print array off
With the / command:
/a p full
To set it off, put !.
E.g.:
/a! p some_array
is the same as:
set print array off
p full
set print array on
Note: the / command in fact restores the setting in force before /
changes them.
I.e., if 'set print array' was on before '/a! p some_array'
then after the execution of / command, it is still on.
Other example: to print the array indexes:
/i p full
is the equivalent of:
set print array-index on
p full
set print array-index off
These can be combined, i.e.
/ai p full
is the equivalent of:
set print array on
set print array-index on
p full
set print array-index off
set print array off
Numeric options can also be overriden. For example, the nr of elements
to print for an array (default is 200):
set print elements 2
p full
set print elements 200
is the equivalent of:
/e2 p full
If e is not followed by a digit, then this is the same as no limit.
One can also do:
/aie2 p full
to print full with temporarily setting of pretty printing 2 elements,
with array indexes.
There is not enough letter to support all the print options etc.
So, the upper case letters are used to introduce prefixes, typically
used for the less used options.
For example:
stepi
bt
#0 0x0000555555555a3f in foo_n207_004 () at ...
set print address off
bt
#0 foo_n207_004 () at ...
set print address on
The last 3 commands are the equivalent of:
/Pa bt
It is also possible to override enum options.
E.g.
set print frame-arguments all
bt
set print frame-arguments scalars
is equivalent to:
/fa bt
Similarly, one can now easily set the language for just one command:
set language c
print something
set language auto
is equivalent to:
/lc print something
In terms of implementation:
A argument slash_seq (with default value nullptr) has been added to:
add_setshow_boolean_cmd
add_setshow_uinteger_cmd
add_setshow_enum_cmd.
The above results are just obtained by passing the relevant string value.
E.g. to have a shortcut /a for pretty printing array, the "a" has been
added as last argument in the below call:
add_setshow_boolean_cmd ("array", class_support,
&user_print_options.prettyformat_arrays, _("\
Set pretty formatting of arrays."), _("\
Show pretty formatting of arrays."), NULL,
NULL,
show_prettyformat_arrays,
&setprintlist, &showprintlist,
"a");
The set print frame-arguments shortcuts are obtained by adding
"f[asn]" as last argument, where 'a' means 'all', 's' means 'scalars',
'n' means 'none'.
The full list of options that can be used is given by 'help /' (see below).
Of course, we might add some more options to the below list.
For example, the (probably soon to land) 'set print max-depth'
should added to the list (the letter m is still available for this one :).
(gdb) help /
Usage: /[OPTION]... COMMAND
Temporarily set options according to OPTIONS, run COMMAND,
and then restore the options to their previous value.
Each temporarily settable option is identified by a sequence
of letters optionally followed by a value.
A boolean option is temporarily activated (set to "on") by giving
its sequence of letters. If the boolean sequence of letters is followed
by !, the boolean option is deactivated (set to "off").
An integer option can be temporarily set by giving its sequence of letters
followed by the temporary value desired.
If no value is giving after the integer sequence of letters, the integer
option is temporarily set to an unlimited value
An enum option can be temporarily set by giving its sequence of letters
followed by a letter designating the chosen value.
Example:
/e100a!i print some_array
is equivalent to:
# save current values of the options set print elements/array/array-index.
set print elements 100
set print array off
set print array-index on
print some_array
--Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--
# restore the saved values of the changed options.
The temporarily settable options are:
/Be set backtrace past-entry Boolean on|off
/Bl set backtrace limit Unsigned integer (0 means unlimited)
/Bm set backtrace past-main Boolean on|off
/Co set print object Boolean on|off
/Cs set print static-members Boolean on|off
/Cv set print vtbl Boolean on|off
/Pa set print address Boolean on|off
/Ps set print symbol Boolean on|off
/Rf set print raw frame-arguments Boolean on|off
/a set print array Boolean on|off
/e set print elements Unsigned integer (0 means unlimited)
/f[asn] set print frame-arguments Enum, a = all, s = scalars, n = none
/i set print array-indexes Boolean on|off
/l[aluAscCdfgmMOo] set language Enum, a = auto, l = local,
u = unknown, A = ada, s = asm, c = c, C = c++,
d = d, f = fortran, g = go, m = minimal,
M = modula-2, O = objective-c, o = opencl
/n set print null-stop Boolean on|off
/p set print pretty Boolean on|off
/r set print repeats Unsigned integer (0 means unlimited)
--Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--
/u set print union Boolean on|off
/v set varsize-limit Unsigned integer (0 means unlimited)
(gdb)
The code should be reasonable to use, it has (somewhat) be manually tested.
What is missing:
