Handle "p S::method()::static_var" in the C++ parser
This commit makes "print S::method()::static_var" actually find the
debug symbol for static_var. Currently, you get:
(gdb) print S::method()::static_var
A syntax error in expression, near `'.
Quoting the whole string would seemingly work before the previous
patch that made GDB stop assuming int for no-debug-info variables:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = 1
... except that's incorrect output, because:
(gdb) ptype 'S::method()::static_var'
type = <data variable, no debug info>
The way to make it work correctly currently is by quoting the
function/method part, like this:
(gdb) print 'S::method()'::static_var
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) ptype 'S::method()'::static_var
type = struct aggregate {
int i1;
int i2;
int i3;
}
At least after the "stop assuming int" patch, this is what we
now get:
(gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
'S::method()::static_var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) p (struct aggregate) 'S::method()::static_var'
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
However, IMO, users shouldn't really have to care about any of this.
GDB should Just Work, without quoting, IMO.
So here's a patch that implements support for that in the C++ parser.
With this patch, you now get:
(gdb) p S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
$1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
(gdb) ptype S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
type = struct aggregate {
int i1;
int i2;
int i3;
}
