handled, one of those being to place SSS breakpoints on the breakpoint
chain as all other breakpoints, annota1.exp times out with lots and
lots of breakpoint-invalid and frame-changed annotations. All those
extra annotations are actually unnecessary. For one, SSS breakpoints
are internal breakpoints, so the frontend shouldn't care if they were
added, removed or changed. Then, there's really no point in emitting
"breakpoints-invalid" or "frames-invalid" more than once between times
the frontend/user can actually issues GDB commands; the frontend will
have to wait for the GDB prompt to refresh its state, so emitting
those annotations at most once between prompts is enough. Non-stop or
async would complicate this, but no frontend will be using annotations
in those modes (one of goes of emacs switching to MI was non-stop mode
support, AFAIK). The previous patch reveals there has been an
intention in the past to suppress multiple breakpoints-invalid
annotations caused by ignore count changes. As the previous patch
shows, that's always been broken, but in any case, this patch actually
makes it work. The next patch will remove several annotation-specific
calls in breakpoint.c in favor of always using the breakpoint modified
& friends observers, and that causes yet more of these annotations,
because several calls to the corresponding annotate_* functions in
breakpoint.c are missing, particularly in newer code.
So all in all, here's a simple mechanism that avoids sending the same
annotation to the frontend more than once until gdb is ready to accept
further commands.

* annotate.c: Include "inferior.h".
(frames_invalid_emitted)

suppress multiple breakpoints-invalid annotations when the ignore
count of a breakpoint changes, up until the target actually stops.
But, the code is bogus:
void
annotate_breakpoints_changed (void)
{
if (annotation_level == 2)
{
target_terminal_ours ();
printf_unfiltered (("\n\032\032breakpoints-invalid\n"));
if (ignore_count_changed)
ignore_count_changed = 0; /* Avoid multiple break annotations. */
}
}
The "ignore_count_changed" flag isn't actually guarding the output of
the annotation at all. It would have been better written something
like:
void
annotate_breakpoints_changed (void)
{
if (annotation_level == 2 && !ignore_count_changed)
{
target_terminal_ours ();
printf_unfiltered (("\n\032\032breakpoints-invalid\n"));
ignore_count_changed = 0; /* Avoid multiple break annotations. */
}
}
but, it wasn't. AFAICS, that goes all the way back to the original
patch'es submission and check in, at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/1999-q4/msg00106.html>. I
looked a tar of HP's wdb from 1999, and even though that contains
local changes in the annotate code, this suppression seems borked
there too to me.
The original patch added a test to supposedly exercise this
suppression, but, it actually doesn't. It merely tests that
"breakpoints-invalid" is output after "stopped", but doesn't check
whether the duplicates supression actually works (IOW, check that only
_one_ annotation is seen). I was going to simply delete the tests
too, but a following patch will eliminate the duplicates in a
different way (which I needed for a different reason), so instead, I'm
making the tests actually fail if a duplicate annotation is seen.
Worry not, the test doesn't actually fail! The reason is that
breakpoint.c does:
else if (b->ignore_count > 0)
{
b->ignore_count--;
annotate_ignore_count_change ();
bs->stop = 0;
/* Increase the hit count even though we don't stop. */
++(b->hit_count);
observer_notify_breakpoint_modified (b);
}
where the annotate_ignore_count_change call is meant to inform the
"breakpoint_modified" annotation observer to ignore the notification.
All sounds good. But, the trouble is that nowadays annotate.c only
installs the observers if GDB is started with annotations enabled with
a command line option (gdb --annotate=2):
void
_initialize_annotate (void)
{
if (annotation_level == 2)
{
observer_attach_breakpoint_deleted (breakpoint_changed);
observer_attach_breakpoint_modified (breakpoint_changed);
}
}
and annota1.exp, to enable annotations, starts GDB normally, and
afterwards does "set annotate 2", so the observers aren't installed
when annota1.exp is run, and therefore changing the ignore count isn't
triggering any annotation at all...

The "new" dtags options have been around for 14+ years, and for all the
targets that gold supports, these flags have always existed. So enable
them by default.
Having behavior be different from ld.bfd isn't new, and this behavior
is the "better" one, so there shouldn't be a problem based on that.
