[PATCHv13 0/6] thread-specific breakpoints in just some inferiors

[Andrew Burgess]

I'm planning to merge the rest of this series once my testing has
completed unless someone asks me not too.  Obviously I'll address
anything that crops up after committing.

---

In v13:

  - Rebased to current HEAD of master.  Resolved some minor merge
    conflicts in breakpoint.{c,h} for the last patch, and updated the
    patch to take account of catchpoint::re_set() which was added
    recently.

  - Moved the NEWS entries now that GDB 15 has been released.

In v12:

  - First 3 patches from previous version have now been merged,

  - Rebased to current master and retested.  Few minor testsuite
    changes to account for other changes in the master branch, nothing
    major though.

In v11:

  - Rebased on to current upstream master.  No significant merge
    issues found.  Retested, no issues found.

In v10:

  - I merged the first 5 patches.  These were mostly just adding extra
    asserts, or minor refactoring and cleanup that didn't change GDB's
    behaviour.  Patch #2 did have a minor behaviour change, but this
    was just removing some (I think) unintended behaviour,

  - Rebased onto current upstream/master branch,

  - No other changes since v9.

In v9:

  - Rebased onto current upstream/master branch,

  - Minor testsuite fix to account for updated output from GDB,

  - No other changes since v8.

In v8:

  - Rebased onto current upstream/master branch.

  - Reordered the patches a little.  Patches 0 to 8 are unchanged from
    previous.  If there's no objections then I'm planning to merge
    these some point soon as I think these are all good cleanup patches.

  - Patches 9, 10, and 11 are new.  These are also refactoring
    commits, but are all tied pretty tightly to what is now patch 12.

  - Patch 12 is the most important patch.  This has had a complete
    rewrite since V7 in order to address Tom's feedback.  The general
    idea is unchanged; the breakpoint condition string is parsed first
    forwards, and then backwards, but we now have a two phase
    analysis, rather than immediately parsing things like the
    thread-id as we find them.  This resolves this problem:

    (gdb) break some_function if ( 3 == thread )

    Previous GDB would try to match 'thread )' as a thread-id and give
    an error that ')' as invalid.  Now GDB correctly understands that
    the 'thread )' is likely part of the 'if' condition, and parses it
    as such.

  - Patches 13 and 14 are unchanged from V7.  These patches depend on
    the changes in patch 12 so can't be merged without that patch.

In v7:

  - Addressed all the issues except one that Baris pointed out, this
    includes typos, some minor testsuite cleanups, and reformatting an
    assert (but not changing the meaning).

  - As requested, switched to use std::string_view in
    break-parse-cond.c file instead of a custom class, I agree that
    this is an improvement.

  - I've not changed the handling of -force-condition flag.  I replied
    to the review email with my thoughts, TLDR: fixing this would be a
    bigger task which I'd rather leave for ... the future.

  - Rebased and retested.

In v6:

  - Rebased to current master, one minor fix due to the C++17 changes,
    nothing major.  Retested.

In v5:

  - Updates after Lancelot's feedback, including, -force-condition can
    no longer be abbreviated to '-', and can't be used immediately
    after the breakpoint condition.

  - More tests to check some of the edge cases.

In v4:

  - Big update, this series now handles thread-specific and
    inferior-specific breakpoints.

In v3:

  - Rebased on to current upstream/master, this includes all Simon's
    recent breakpoint changes.  Retested with no regressions seen.

In v2:

  - Rebased on current upstream/master and retested,

  - No changes to code or docs.
