[PATCH 2/2] gdb: Add support for DW_LNS_set_prologue_end in line-table

[Lancelot SIX]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedbacks.  I have done the changes locally (see below).

Yes, probably.  Sorry, I am usually unsure to what extent maint commands 
are documented / mentioned in NEWS entries.

I have added the following locally on top of the original patch:

diff --git a/gdb/NEWS b/gdb/NEWS 

index 89811219f59..ca3c2d13629 100644 

--- a/gdb/NEWS 

+++ b/gdb/NEWS

    values for this follow the values that can be passed to the GNAT 

    compiler via the '-gnati' option.  The default is ISO-8859-1. 

 

+maintenance info line-table 

+  Add a PROLOGUE-END column to the output which indicates that an 

+  entry corresponds to an address where a breakpoint should be placed 

+  to be at the first instruction past a function's prologue.

  * Changed commands

I did the changes locally.

I'll include those change in a V2, but will wait for other reviews on 
the patches before sending it.

Thanks,
Lancelot.
