While working on the fix for PR cli/28665 (see previous couple of commits), I was playing with making a change in the linespec parsing code. Specifically, I was thinking about whether the spec_string for LINESPEC_LOCATION locations should ever be nullptr. I made a change to prevent the spec_string from ever being nullptr, tested gdb, and saw no regressions. However, as part of this work I was reviewing how the breakpoint code handles this case (spec_string being nullptr), and spotted that in parse_breakpoint_sals the nullptr case is specifically handled, so changing this should have caused a regression. But I didn't see one. So, this commit adds a comment in location.c mentioning that the nullptr case is (a) not an oversight, and (b) is required. Then I add a new test to gdb.base/break.exp that ensures a change in this area will cause a regression. This test passes on current gdb, but with my modified (and broken) gdb, the test would fail.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
