[PATCH 06/12] gdb: introduce status enum for displaced step prepare/finish

Simon Marchi simon.marchi@efficios.com
Tue Nov 10 21:46:08 GMT 2020


This is a preparatory patch to reduce the size of the diff of the
upcoming main patch.  It introduces enum types for the return values of
displaced step "prepare" and "finish" operations.  I find that this
expresses better the intention of the code, rather than returning
arbitrary integer values (-1, 0 and 1) which are difficult to remember.
That makes the code easier to read.

I put the new enum types in a new displaced-stepping.h file, because I
introduce that file in a later patch anyway.  Putting it there avoids
having to move it later.

There is one change in behavior for displaced_step_finish: it currently
returns 0 if the thread wasn't doing a displaced step and 1 if the
thread was doing a displaced step which was executed successfully.  It
turns out that this distinction is not needed by any caller, so I've
merged these two cases into "_OK", rather than adding an extra
enumerator.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* infrun.c (displaced_step_prepare_throw): Change return type to
	displaced_step_prepare_status.
	(displaced_step_prepare): Likewise.
	(displaced_step_finish): Change return type to
	displaced_step_finish_status.
	(resume_1): Adjust.
	(stop_all_threads): Adjust.
	* displaced-stepping.h: New file.
