Browse source 
gdb/ChangeLog:

        * python/python.c (python_run_simple_file): New function.
        (source_python_script, source_python_script_for_objfile):
        Replace call to PyRun_SimpleFile by call to
        python_run_simple_file.

/* A wrapper around PyRun_SimpleFile. FILENAME is the name of
the Python script to run.
One of the parameters of PyRun_SimpleFile is a FILE *.
The problem is that type FILE is extremely system and compiler
dependent. So, unless the Python library has been compiled using
the same build environment as GDB, we run the risk of getting
a crash due to inconsistencies between the definition used by GDB,
and the definition used by Python. A mismatch can very likely
lead to a crash.
There is also the situation where the Python library and GDB
are using two different versions of the C runtime library.
This is particularly visible on Windows, where few users would
build Python themselves (this is no trivial task on this platform),
and thus use binaries built by someone else instead. Python,
being built with VC, would use one version of the msvcr DLL
(Eg. msvcr100.dll), while MinGW uses msvcrt.dll. A FILE *
from one runtime does not necessarily operate correctly in
the other runtime.
To work around this potential issue, we create the FILE object
using Python routines, thus making sure that it is compatible
with the Python library. */
