From: Joel Brobecker Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 12:55:16 +0000 (+0400) Subject: Add "undefined-command" error code at end of ^error result... X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ea126fa785cf0d2b26cdba5c6ad8b8548b7ef15;p=binutils-gdb.git Add "undefined-command" error code at end of ^error result... ... when trying to execute an undefined GDB/MI command. When trying to execute a GDB/MI command which does not exist, the current error result record looks like this: -unsupported ^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported" The only indication that the command does not exist is the error message. It would be a little fragile for a consumer to rely solely on the contents of the error message in order to determine whether a command exists or not. This patch improves the situation by adding concept of error code, starting with one well-defined error code ("undefined-command") identifying errors due to a non-existant command. Here is the new output: -unsupported ^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported",code="undefined-command" This error code is only displayed when the corresponding error condition is met. Otherwise, the error record remains unchanged. For instance: -symbol-list-lines foo.adb ^error,msg="-symbol-list-lines: Unknown source file name." For frontends to be able to know whether they can rely on this variable, a new entry "undefined-command-error-code" has been added to the "-list-features" command. Another option would be to always generate an error="..." variable (for the default case, we could decide for instance that the error code is the empty string). But it seems more efficient to provide that info in "-list-features" and then only add the error code when meaningful. gdb/ChangeLog: (from Pedro Alves ) (from Joel Brobecker ) * exceptions.h (enum_errors) : New enum. * mi/mi-parse.c (mi_parse): Throw UNDEFINED_COMMAND_ERROR instead of a regular error when the GDB/MI command does not exist. * mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add "undefined-command-error-code". (mi_print_exception): Print an "undefined-command" error code if EXCEPTION.ERROR is UNDEFINED_COMMAND_ERROR. * NEWS: Add entry documenting the new "code" variable in "^error" result records. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Result Records): Fix the syntax of the "^error" result record concerning the error message. Document the error code that may also be part of that result record. (GDB/MI Miscellaneous Commands): Document the "undefined-command-error-code" element in the output of the "-list-features" GDB/MI command. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/mi-undefined-cmd.exp: New testcase. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 3e904693c05..a6a36efa318 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,16 @@ +2013-12-03 Pedro Alves + Joel Brobecker + + * exceptions.h (enum_errors) : New enum. + * mi/mi-parse.c (mi_parse): Throw UNDEFINED_COMMAND_ERROR instead + of a regular error when the GDB/MI command does not exist. + * mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_list_features): Add + "undefined-command-error-code". + (mi_print_exception): Print an "undefined-command" + error code if EXCEPTION.ERROR is UNDEFINED_COMMAND_ERROR. + * NEWS: Add entry documenting the new "code" variable in + "^error" result records. + 2013-12-03 Joel Brobecker * mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_info_gdb_mi_command): Declare. diff --git a/gdb/NEWS b/gdb/NEWS index 5cc48626172..51dc43aebf8 100644 --- a/gdb/NEWS +++ b/gdb/NEWS @@ -161,6 +161,12 @@ show code-cache ** The new command -info-gdb-mi-command allows the user to determine whether a GDB/MI command is supported or not. + ** The "^error" result record returned when trying to execute an undefined + GDB/MI command now provides a variable named "code" whose content is the + "undefined-command" error code.
