Subject: Introduce gdb::make_function_view
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=377c3a9c91785d5df5c0d96121160e6210204cc0;p=binutils-gdb.git

Introduce gdb::make_function_view

This adds gdb::make_function_view, which lets you create a function
view from a callable without specifying the function_view's template
parameter.  For example, this:

    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
    auto fv = gdb::make_function_view (lambda);

instead of:

    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
    gdb::function_view<void (int)> fv = lambda;

It is particularly useful if you have a template function with an
optional function_view parameter, whose type depends on the function's
template parameters.  Like:

    template<typename T>
    void my_function (T v, gdb::function_view<void(T)> callback = nullptr);

For such a function, the type of the callback argument you pass must
already be a function_view.  I.e., this wouldn't compile:

    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
    my_function (1, lambda);

With gdb::make_function_view, you can write the call like so:

    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
    my_function (1, gdb::make_function_view (lambda));

Unit tests included.

Tested by building with GCC 9.4, Clang 10, and GCC 4.8.5, on x86_64
GNU/Linux, and running the unit tests.

+  There's also a gdb::make_function_view function that you can use to
+  automatically create a function_view from a callable without having
+  to specify the function_view's template parameter.  E.g.:
+
+    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
+    auto fv = gdb::make_function_view (lambda);
+
+  This can be useful for example when calling a template function
+  whose function_view parameter type depends on the function's
+  template parameters.  In such case, you can't rely on implicit
+  callable->function_view conversion for the function_view argument.
+  You must pass a function_view argument already of the right type to
+  the template function.  E.g., with this:
+
+    template<typename T>
+    void my_function (T v, gdb::function_view<void(T)> callback = nullptr);
+
+  this wouldn't compile:
+
+    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
+    my_function (1, lambda);
+
+  Note that this immediately dangles the temporary lambda object:
+
+    gdb::function_view<void(int)> fv = [&] (int) { ... };  // dangles
+    my_function (fv);
+
+  To avoid the dangling you'd have to use a named temporary for the
+  lambda:
+
+    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
+    gdb::function_view<void(int)> fv = lambda;
+    my_function (fv);
+
+  Using gdb::make_function_view instead automatically deduces the
+  function_view's full type, and, avoids worrying about dangling.  For
+  the example above, we could write instead:
+
+    auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
+    my_function (1, gdb::make_function_view (lambda));
+
   You can find unit tests covering the whole API in
   unittests/function-view-selftests.c.  */
