This adds a new best_symbol_tracker struct. This is used to implement
the "best symbol" logic that is used sometimes in symtab.c. This
approach makes it simpler and more efficient to track the "best"
symbol when searching across multiple blocks.

One loop in block_lookup_symbol is identical to the code in
block_lookup_symbol_primary. This patch simplifies the former by
having it call the latter.
This removes an assert. However, note that the assert is not needed
-- it does not check any invariant that must be maintained.

This changes block_lookup_symbol_primary to accept a lookup_name_info.
This follows the general trend of hoisting these objects to the
outermost layer where they make sense -- somewhat reducing the cost of
using them.

The enum address_class and related fields and methods seem misnamed to
me. Generalize it to "location_class". The enumerators in
address_class are already prefixed with LOC, so the new name seems
logical to me. Rename related fields and methods as well.
Plus, address_class could easily be mistaken for other unrelated things
named "address class" in GDB or DWARF.
Tested by rebuilding.

This patch introduces a new macro, INIT_GDB_FILE. This is used to
replace the current "_initialize_" idiom when introducing a per-file
initialization function. That is, rather than write:
void _initialize_something ();
void
_initialize_something ()
{
...
}
... now you would write:
INIT_GDB_FILE (something)
{
...
}
The macro handles both the declaration and definition of the function.
The point of this approach is that it makes it harder to accidentally
cause an initializer to be omitted; see commit 2711e475 ("Ensure
cooked_index_entry self-tests are run"). Specifically, the regexp now
used by make-init-c seems harder to trick.
New in v2: un-did some erroneous changes made by the script.
The bulk of this patch was written by script.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 41.
This updates the copyright headers to include 2025. I did this by

This patch changes block::get_using to return an iterator range. This
seemed cleaner to me than the current approach of returning a pointer
to the first using directive; all the callers actually use this to
iterate.
While reviewing a patch I wanted to understand which blocks existed at
a given address.
The 'maint print symbols' command does provide some of this
information, but that command displays all blocks within a given
symtab. If I want to know which blocks are at a given address I have
to figure that out for myself based on the output of 'maint print
symbols' ... and I'm too lazy for that!
So this command lists just those blocks at a given address, along with
information about the blocks type. This new command doesn't list the
symbols within each block, for that my expectation is that you'd cross
reference the output with that of 'maint print symbols'.
The new command format is:
maintenance info blocks
maintenance info blocks ADDRESS
This lists the blocks at ADDRESS, or at the current $pc if ADDRESS is
not given. Blocks are listed starting at the global block, then the
static block, and then the progressively narrower scoped blocks.
For each block we list the internal block pointer (which allows easy
cross referencing with 'maint print symbols'), the inferior address
range, along with other useful information.

Some refactors around struct global_block, all in one patch because they
all tie in together and are relatively trivial.
- Make block::global_block() and blockvector::global_block() return
`global_block *`, instead of `block *`. There is no cost in doing
so, and it's a bit more precise. Callers of these methods that need
a `global_block *` won't need to cast themselves.
- Add some block::as_global_block methods, as a way to get a
`global_block *` from a `block *` when you know it's a global block.
This is basically a static cast with an assert.
- Move set_compunit_symtab to global_block, since it requires the
block to be a global block anyway. Rename to just `set_compunit` (I
think that compunit_symtab should just be renamed compunit...).
- Move the get_block_compunit_symtab free function to be a method of
global_block.
- Make global_block::compunit_symtab private and rename.
- Simplify initialize_block_iterator.

I noticed that initialize_block_iterator has a default value for one
of its arguments, but this is not needed as this function has a single
caller that always passes all arguments. This patch removes the
default. Tested by rebuilding.
This is a simple find / replace from "struct bound_minimal_symbol" to
"bound_minimal_symbol", to make things shorter and more consisten
througout. In some cases, move variable declarations where first used.

Now that defs.h, server.h and common-defs.h are included via the
`-include` option, it is no longer necessary for source files to include
them. Remove all the inclusions of these files I could find. Update
the generation scripts where relevant.

This patch makes allocate_on_obstack a little bit safer, by enforcing
the rule that objects allocated on an obstack must have a trivial
destructor.
The static assert is done in a method -- doing it inside the class
itself won't work because the class is incomplete at that point.
I noticed that basic_lookup_transparent_type calls two different
functions that both proceed to create a lookup_name_info. It's more
efficient to create this object in the outermost layer possible.
Making this change required a few related changes, resulting in this
patch.
There are still more changes of this sort that could be made.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38.
This changes lookup_symbol and associated APIs to accept
domain_search_flags rather than a domain_enum.
Note that this introduces some new constants to Python and Guile. I
chose to break out the documentation patch for this, because the
internals here do not change until a later patch, and it seemed
simpler to patch the docs just once, rather than twice.
This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.
block_find_symbol takes a callback function, but only two callbacks
are ever passed to it -- and they are similar enough that it seems
cleaner to just have block_find_symbol do the work itself. Also,
block_find_symbol can take a lookup_name_info as an argument,
following the general idea of pushing the construction of these
objects as high in the call chain as feasible.

This adds symbol::matches, a wrapper for symbol_matches_domain. Most
places calling symbol_matches_domain can call this method instead,
which is a bit less wordy and also (IMO) clearer.

This changes the block_iterator to store the 'name' that is used by
block_iter_match_next. This avoids any problem where the name could
be passed inconsistently, and also makes the subsequent patches easier
to understand.
This converts block_static_block and block_global_block to be methods.
This was mostly written by script. It was simpler to convert them at
the same time because they're often used near each other.
This converts block_scope, block_set_scope, block_using, and
block_set_using to be methods. These are all done at once to make it
easier to also convert block_initialize_namespace at the same time.
This was mostly written by script.
block_set_scope and block_set_using unconditionally allocate the block
namespace object. However, this isn't truly needed, so arrange to
only allocate when it is.
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
Replace with calls to blockvector::blocks, and the appropriate method
call on the returned array_view.
