Pierre-Marie de Rodat 63e43d3aed DWARF: handle non-local references in nested functions
GDB's current behavior when dealing with non-local references in the
context of nested fuctions is approximative:

  - code using valops.c:value_of_variable read the first available stack
    frame that holds the corresponding variable (whereas there can be
    multiple candidates for this);

  - code directly relying on read_var_value will instead read non-local
    variables in frames where they are not even defined.

This change adds the necessary context to symbol reads (to get the block
they belong to) and to blocks (the static link property, if any) so that
GDB can make the proper decisions when dealing with non-local varibale
references.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* ada-lang.c (ada_read_var_value): Add a var_block argument
	and pass it to default_read_var_value.
	* block.c (block_static_link): New accessor.
	* block.h (block_static_link): Declare it.
	* buildsym.c (finish_block_internal): Add a static_link
	argument.  If there is a static link, associate it to the new
	block.
	(finish_block): Add a static link argument and pass it to
	finish_block_internal.
	(end_symtab_get_static_block): Update calls to finish_block and
	to finish_block_internal.
	(end_symtab_with_blockvector): Update call to
	finish_block_internal.
	* buildsym.h: Forward-declare struct dynamic_prop.
	(struct context_stack): Add a static_link field.
	(finish_block): Add a static link argument.
	* c-exp.y: Remove an obsolete comment (evaluation of variables
	already start from the selected frame, and now they climb *up*
	the call stack) and propagate the block information to the
	produced expression.
	* d-exp.y: Likewise.
	* f-exp.y: Likewise.
	* go-exp.y: Likewise.
	* jv-exp.y: Likewise.

	* dbxread.c (process_one_symbol): Likewise.
	* xcoffread.c (read_xcoff_symtab): Likewise.
	* compile/compile-c-symbols.c (convert_one_symbol): Promote the
	"sym" parameter to struct block_symbol, update its uses and pass
	its block to calls to read_var_value.

	get_frame_base method.
	(dwarf2_block_frame_base_loclist_funcs): Likewise.
	(dwarf2locexpr_baton_eval): Add a frame argument and use it

	(dwarf2_evaluate_property): Add a frame argument.  Update call
	to dwarf2_locexpr_baton_eval to provide a frame in available and
	to handle the absence of address stack.
	* dwarf2loc.h (dwarf2_evaluate_property): Add a frame argument.
	* dwarf2read.c (attr_to_dynamic_prop): Add a forward
	declaration.
	(read_func_scope): Record any available static link description.
	Update call to finish_block.

	* findvar.c (follow_static_link): New.
	(get_hosting_frame): New.
	(default_read_var_value): Add a var_block argument.  Use

	LA_READ_VAR_VALUE method.
	* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_range): Update calls to
	dwarf2_evaluate_property.
	(resolve_dynamic_type_internal): Likewise.
	* guile/scm-frame.c (gdbscm_frame_read_var): Update call to
	read_var_value, passing it the block coming from symbol lookup.

	read_var_value (TODO).
	* infcmd.c (finish_command_continuation): Update call to
	read_var_value, passing it the block coming from symbol lookup.
	* infrun.c (insert_exception_resume_breakpoint): Likewise.
	* language.h (struct language_defn): Add a var_block argument to
	the LA_READ_VAR_VALUE method.
	* objfiles.c (struct static_link_htab_entry): New.
	(static_link_htab_entry_hash): New.
	(static_link_htab_entry_eq): New.
	(objfile_register_static_link): New.
	(objfile_lookup_static_link): New.
	(free_objfile): Free the STATIC_LINKS hashed map if needed.

	read_var_value, passing it the block coming from symbol lookup.
	* python/py-framefilter.c (extract_sym): Add a sym_block
	parameter and set the pointed value to NULL (TODO).
	(enumerate_args): Update call to extract_sym.
	(enumerate_locals): Update calls to extract_sym and to
	read_var_value.

	(read_frame_arg): Likewise.
	(return_command): Likewise.
	* symtab.h (struct symbol_block_ops): Add a get_frame_base
	method.
	(struct symbol): Add a block field.
	(SYMBOL_BLOCK): New accessor.
	* valops.c (value_of_variable): Remove frame/block handling and
	pass the block argument to read_var_value, which does this job
	now.
	(value_struct_elt_for_reference): Update calls to
	read_var_value.
	(value_of_this): Pass the block found to read_var_value.
	* value.h (read_var_value): Add a var_block argument.

		   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.
