From: Pedro Alves Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 19:17:13 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Fix PR 20559 - "eval" command and $arg0...$arg9/$argc substitution X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01770bbde902e075e524b518ac6c1087a4cc1cfb;p=binutils-gdb.git Fix PR 20559 - "eval" command and $arg0...$arg9/$argc substitution It'd be handy to be able to iterate over command arguments in user-defined commands, in order to support optional arguments ($arg0..$argN). I thought I could make it work with "eval", but alas, it doesn't work currently. E.g., with: define test set $i = 0 while $i < $argc eval "print $arg%d", $i set $i = $i + 1 end end we get: (gdb) test 1 $1 = void (gdb) test 1 2 3 $2 = void $3 = void $4 = void (gdb) The problem is that "eval" doesn't do user-defined command arguments substitution after expanding its own argument. This patch fixes that, which makes the example above work: (gdb) test 1 $1 = 1 (gdb) test 1 2 3 $2 = 1 $3 = 2 $4 = 3 (gdb) New test included, similar the above, but also exercises expanding $argc. I think this is likely to simplify many scripts out there, so I'm adding an example to the manual and mentioning it in NEWS as well. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-12-02 Pedro Alves PR cli/20559 * NEWS: Mention "eval" expands user-defined command arguments. * cli/cli-script.c (execute_control_command): Adjust to rename.
