Explicit locations: add UI features for CLI
This patch exposes explicit locations to the CLI user. This enables users to "explicitly" specify attributes of the breakpoint location to avoid any ambiguity that might otherwise exist with linespecs. The general syntax of explicit locations is: -source SOURCE_FILENAME -line {+-}LINE -function FUNCTION_NAME -label LABEL_NAME Option names may be abbreviated, e.g., "-s SOURCE_FILENAME -li 3" and users may use the completer with either options or values. gdb/ChangeLog: * completer.c: Include location.h. (enum match_type): New enum. (location_completer): Rename to ... (linespec_completer): ... this. (collect_explicit_location_matches, backup_text_ptr) (explicit_location_completer): New functions. (location_completer): "New" function; handle linespec and explicit location completions. (complete_line_internal): Remove all location completer-specific handling. * linespec.c (linespec_lexer_lex_keyword, is_ada_operator) (find_toplevel_char): Export. (linespec_parse_line_offset): Export. Issue error if STRING is not numerical. (gdb_get_linespec_parser_quote_characters): New function. * linespec.h (linespec_parse_line_offset): Declare. (get_gdb_linespec_parser_quote_characters): Declare. (is_ada_operator): Declare. (find_toplevel_char): Declare. (linespec_lexer_lex_keyword): Declare. * location.c (explicit_to_event_location): New function. (explicit_location_lex_one): New function. (string_to_explicit_location): New function. (string_to_event_location): Handle explicit locations. * location.h (explicit_to_event_location): Declare. (string_to_explicit_location): Declare. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.linespec/3explicit.c: New file. * gdb.linespec/cpexplicit.cc: New file. * gdb.linespec/cpexplicit.exp: New file. * gdb.linespec/explicit.c: New file. * gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: New file. * gdb.linespec/explicit2.c: New file. * gdb.linespec/ls-errs.exp: Add explicit location tests. * lib/gdb.exp (capture_command_output): Regexp-escape `command' before using in the matching pattern. Clarify that `prefix' is a regular expression.
