Add helper functions parse_flags and parse_flags_qcs
Add helper functions parse_flags and parse_flags_qcs.
parse_flags helper function allows to look for a set of flags at
the start of a string.
A flag must be given individually.
parse_flags_qcs is a specialised helper function to handle
the flags -q, -c and -s, that are used in the new command 'frame apply'
and in the command 'thread apply.
Modify number_or_range_parser::get_number to differentiate a
- followed by digits from a - followed by an alpha (i.e. a flag or an option).
That is needed for the addition of the [FLAG]... arguments to
thread apply ID... [FLAG]... COMMAND
Remove bool number_or_range_parser::m_finished, rather
implement the 'finished' logic inside number_or_range_parser::finished.
The new logic properly detects the end of parsing even if not at
end of the string. This ensures that number_or_range_parser::cur_tok
really points past the last parsed token when parsing is finished.
Before, it was always pointing at the end of the string.
As parsing now is finished directly when not positioned on a number,
number_is_in_list must do an error check before the loop getting all
numbers.
The error message for 'thread apply -$unknownconvvar p 1'
is now the more clear:
Convenience variable must have integer value.
Invalid thread ID: -$unknownconvvar p 1
instead of previously:
negative value
