default-args: allow to define default arguments for aliases
Currently, a user can define an alias, but cannot have default arguments for this alias. This patch modifies the 'alias' command so that default args can be provided. (gdb) h alias Define a new command that is an alias of an existing command. Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND [DEFAULT-ARGS...] ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create. COMMAND is the command being aliased to. Options: -a Specify that ALIAS is an abbreviation of COMMAND. Abbreviations are not used in command completion.. GDB will automatically prepend the provided DEFAULT-ARGS to the list of arguments explicitly provided when using ALIAS. Use "help aliases" to list all user defined aliases and their default args. Examples: Make "spe" an alias of "set print elements": alias spe set print elements Make "elms" an alias of "elements" in the "set print" command: alias -a set print elms set print elements Make "btf" an alias of "backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main" : alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main Make "wLapPeu" an alias of 2 nested "with": alias wLapPeu = with language pascal -- with print elements unlimited -- (gdb) The way 'default-args' is implemented makes it trivial to set default args also for GDB commands (such as "backtrace") and for GDB pre-defined aliases (such as "bt"). It was however deemed better to not allow to define default arguments for pre-defined commands and aliases, to avoid users believing that e.g. default args for "backtrace" would apply to "bt". If needed, default-args could be allowed for GDB predefined commands and aliases by adding a command 'set default-args GDB_COMMAND_OR_PREDEFINED_ALIAS [DEFAULT-ARGS...]'. * 'alias' command now has a completer that helps to complete: - ALIAS (if the user defines an alias after a prefix), - the aliased COMMAND - the possible options for the aliased COMMAND. * Help and apropos commands show the definitions of the aliases that have default arguments, e.g. (gdb) help backtrace backtrace, btf, where, bt alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames. Usage: backtrace [OPTION]... [QUALIFIER]... [COUNT | -COUNT] Options: -entry-values no|only|preferred|if-needed|both|compact|default Set printing of function arguments at function entry. ... gdb/ChangeLog 2020-06-22 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * cli/cli-cmds.c (lookup_cmd_for_default_args) (alias_command_completer) (make_alias_options_def_group): New functions.
