From 8e2141c6fba6daea1555e042da9de49ec8b1977d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yao Qi Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 12:03:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add optional argument to command "maint prints c-tdesc" Nowadays, we need two steps to print c files for xml target description, that is, 1) read xml target description in, update the current tdesc, 2) visit the current tdesc, print the c file. It is unnecessary to involve in current tdesc, and some validations in each gdbarch are performed unnecessarily, which will reject some target descriptions if they are missing some mandatory feature. This patch adds an optional argument to "maint print c-tdesc", which is an XML file target description, so that we can combine the two steps above into one step, and don't have to involve in global current tdesc. gdb: 2017-07-26 Yao Qi * NEWS: Mention it. * features/Makefile (%.c: %.xml): Pass the xml file name to command "maint print c-tdesc". * target-descriptions.c (maint_print_c_tdesc_cmd): Get file name from 'arg'. gdb/doc: 2017-07-26 Yao Qi * gdb.texinfo (Maintenance Commands): Document optional argument of "maint print c-tdesc". --- gdb/ChangeLog | 8 ++++++++ gdb/NEWS | 3 +++ gdb/doc/ChangeLog | 5 +++++ gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo | 14 +++++++++----- gdb/features/Makefile | 3 +-- gdb/target-descriptions.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++------- 6 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index be39af654b7..05072ce93b5 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +2017-07-26 Yao Qi + + * NEWS: Mention it. + * features/Makefile (%.c: %.xml): Pass the xml file name to + command "maint print c-tdesc". + * target-descriptions.c (maint_print_c_tdesc_cmd): Get file + name from 'arg'. + 2017-07-26 Yao Qi * target-descriptions.c (target_desc): Add ctor and dtor.
