[gdb/symtab] Prefer def over decl (inter-CU case, with context)
This is a follow-up patch on "[PATCH][gdb/symtab] Prefer def over decl
(inter-CU case)" (
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-April/167489.html ).
Consider the test-case from that patch. It contains a decl and def of var a
in different CUs, and tests whether var a can be printed using the def, even
if the decl is found first.
However, the test-case does this in a contextless environment, so if we add to
the test-case like this to set the context to the CU containing main:
...
gdb_test "p a" { = \{1, 2\}}
+
+if ![runto_main] then {
+ fail "can't run to main"
+ return 0
+}
+
+gdb_test "p a" { = \{1, 2\}}
...
then the second test fails, because the decl is found in the context.
Fix this by preferring defs over decls in lookup_global_symbol.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.
