From 6b7cbff192a5335b96fdcf887b32fc6e0100b6ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Brobecker Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:51:30 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] New GDB/MI command "-info-gdb-mi-command" This patch adds a new GDB/MI command meant for graphical frontends trying to determine whether a given GDB/MI command exists or not. Examples: -info-gdb-mi-command unsupported-command ^done,command={exists="false"} (gdb) -info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines ^done,command={exists="true"} (gdb) At the moment, this is the only piece of information that this command returns. Eventually, and if needed, we can extend it to provide command-specific pieces of information, such as updates to the command's syntax since inception. This could become, for instance: -info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines ^done,command={exists="true",features=[]} (gdb) -info-gdb-mi-command catch-assert ^done,command={exists="true",features=["conditions"]} In the first case, it would mean that no extra features, while in the second, it announces that the -catch-assert command in this version of the debugger supports a feature called "condition" - exact semantics to be documented with combined with the rest of the queried command's documentation. But for now, we start small, and only worry about existance. And to bootstrap the process, I have added an entry in the output of the -list-features command as well ("info-gdb-mi-command"), allowing the graphical frontends to go through the following process: 1. Send -list-features, collect info from there as before; 2. Check if the output contains "info-gdb-mi-command". If it does, then support for various commands can be queried though -info-gdb-mi-command. Newer commands will be expected to always be checked via this new -info-gdb-mi-command. gdb/ChangeLog: * mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_info_gdb_mi_command): Declare. * mi/mi-cmd-info.c (mi_cmd_info_gdb_mi_command): New function. * mi/mi-cmds.c (mi_cmds): Add -info-gdb-mi-command command. * mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add "info-gdb-mi-command" field to output of "-list-features". * NEWS: Add entry for new -info-gdb-mi-command. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document the new -info-gdb-mi-command GDB/MI command.
