[PATCH v2 0/4] Improve debugging of optimized code

[Bernd Edlinger]

This update was necessary since I've discovered a
crash due to a problem with the recently added
commit 340d00fb783 ("[gdb/breakpoints] Workaround missing line-table entry")

I've again rebased and re-tested the following patches
which are trying to improve the debug experience of
optimized gcc code.

The major change to the previous version is:

[2/4] adds this change to infcmd.c

              if (SYMBOL_CLASS (sym) == LOC_BLOCK)

                  const block *block = SYMBOL_BLOCK_VALUE (sym);
-                 if (BLOCK_END (block) < tp->control.step_range_end)

                    tp->control.step_range_end = BLOCK_END (block);
                }
            }

The BLOCK_END can equal tp->control.step_range_start which caused:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:2545: internal-error: void resume_1(gdb_signal):
 Assertion `pc_in_thread_step_range (pc, tp)' failed.

The test case gdb.base/empty-inline.exp is enhanced to test the above change.

As before, only [2/4] depends on [1/4], these are about stepping
in inlined code.
The patches [3/4] and [4/4] are about breakpoints,
those do not depend on each other.

Bernd Edlinger (4):
  Introduce a new line table flag is_weak
  Fix range end handling of inlined subroutines
  Fix handling of DW_AT_entry_pc of inlined subroutines
  Skip .cold functions in search_minsyms_for_name
