New settings allow to better control what frame information is printed.
'set print frame-info' allows to override the default frame information
printed when a GDB command prints a frame.
The backtrace command has a new option -frame-info to override
this global setting.
It is now possible to have very short frame information by using the
new 'set print frame-arguments presence' and
'set print frame-info short-location'.
Combined with 'set print address off', a backtrace will only show
the essential information to see the function call chain, e.g.:
(gdb) set print address off
(gdb) set print frame-arguments presence
(gdb) set print frame-info short-location
(gdb) bt
#0 break_me ()
#1 call_me (...)
#2 main ()
(gdb)
This is handy in particular for big backtraces with functions having
many arguments.
Python frame filter printing logic has been updated to respect the new
setting in non MI mode.
Also, the default frame information printed was inconsistent when
backtrace was printing the frame information itself, or when the python
frame filtering code was printing the frame information.
This patch changes the default of python frame filtering to have a
consistent behaviour regarding printed frame-information, whatever
the presence/activity/matches of python filters.
