This commit makes the executable_changed observable available through the Python API as an event. There's nothing particularly interesting going on here, it just follows the same pattern as many of the other Python events we support. The new event registry is called events.executable_changed, and this emits an ExecutableChangedEvent object which has two attributes, a gdb.Progspace called 'progspace', this is the program space in which the executable changed, and a Boolean called 'reload', which is True if the same executable changed on disk and has been reloaded, or is False when a new executable has been loaded. One interesting thing did come up during testing though, you'll notice the test contains a setup_kfail call. During testing I observed that the executable_changed event would trigger twice when GDB restarted an inferior. However, the ExecutableChangedEvent object is identical for both calls, so the wrong information is never sent out, we just see one too many events. I tracked this down to how the reload_symbols function (symfile.c) takes care to also reload the executable, however, I've split fixing this into a separate commit, so see the next commit for details.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
