Andrew Burgess 09ff83af3c gdb/python: smarter symbol lookup for gdb.lookup_static_symbol
When using gdb.lookup_static_symbol I think that GDB should find
static symbols (global symbol with static linkage) from the current
object file ahead of static symbols from other object files.

This means that if we have two source files f1.c and f2.c, and both
files contains 'static int foo;', then when we are stopped in f1.c a
call to 'gdb.lookup_static_symbol ("foo")' will find f1.c::foo, and if
we are stopped in f2.c we would find 'f2.c::foo'.

Given that gdb.lookup_static_symbol always returns a single symbol,
but there can be multiple static symbols with the same name GDB is
always making a choice about which symbols to return.  I think that it
makes sense for the choice GDB makes in this case to match what a user
would get on the command line if they asked to 'print foo'.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.python/py-symbol.c: Declare and call function from new
	py-symbol-2.c file.
	* gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Compile both source files, and add new
	tests for gdb.lookup_static_symbol.
	* gdb.python/py-symbol-2.c: New file.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* python.texi (Symbols In Python): Extend documentation for
	gdb.lookup_static_symbol.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_static_symbol): Lookup in
	static block of current object file first.  Also fix typo in
	header comment.

		   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.
