gdb: Remove an update of current_source_line and current_source_symtab
as a result of the discussion here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb/2020-April/048468.html
Having taken time to reflect on the discussion, and reading the
documentation again I believe we should revert GDB's behaviour back to
how it used to be.
The original concern that triggered the initial patch was that when
annotations were on the current source and line were updated (inside
the annotation code), while when annotations are off this update would
not occur. This was incorrect, as printing the source with the call
to print_source_lines does also update the current source and line.
Further, the documentation here:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Source-Annotations.html#Source-Annotations
Clearly states:
"The following annotation is used instead of displaying source code:
^Z^Zsource filename:line:character:middle:addr
..."
So it is documented that the 'source' annotation is a replacement for,
and not in addition to, actually printing the source lie.
There are still a few issues that I can see, these are:
1. In source.c:info_line_command, when annotations are on we call
annotate_source_line, however, if annotations are off then there is
no corresponding call to print the source line. This means that a
if a user uses 'info line ...' with annotations on, and then does a
'list', they will get different results than if they had done this
with annotations off.
2. It bothers me that the call to annotate_source_line returns a
boolean, and that this controls a call to print_source_line (in
stack.c:print_frame_info).
The reason for this is that the source line annotation will only
print something if the file is found, and the line number is in
range for the file.
It seems to me like an annotation should always be printed, either
one that identifies the file and line, or one that identifies the
file and line GDB would like to access, but couldn't.
I considered changing this, but in the end decided not too, if I
extend the existing 'source' annotation to print something in all
cases then I risk breaking existing UIs that rely on the file and
line always being valid. If I add a new annotation then this might
also break existing UIs that rely on GDB itself printing the error
from within print_source_line.
Given that annotations is deprecated (as I understand it) mechanism
for UIs to interact with GDB (in favour of MI) I figure we should just
restore the old behaviour, and leave the mini-bugs in until someone
actually complains.
This isn't a straight revert of the two commits mentioned above. I've
left annotate_source_line instead of going back to the original
identify_source_line, which lived in source.c, but was really
annotation related. The API for setting the current source and line
has changed since the original patches, so I updated for that change
too. Finally I wrote the code in stack.c so that we avoided an extra
level of indentation, which I felt made things easier to read.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* annotate.c (annotate_source_line): Update return type, add call
to update current symtab and line.
* annotate.h (annotate_source_line): Update return type, and
extend header comment.
* source.c (info_line_command): Check annotation_level before
calling annotate_source_line.
* stack.c (print_frame_info): If calling annotate_source_line
returns true, then don't print any other source line information.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/annota1.exp: Update expected results.
* gdb.cp/annota2.exp: Update expected results, remove duplicate
test name.
* gdb.cp/annota3.exp: Update expected results.
