This adds gdb::make_function_view, which lets you create a function
view from a callable without specifying the function_view's template
parameter. For example, this:
auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
auto fv = gdb::make_function_view (lambda);
instead of:
auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
gdb::function_view<void (int)> fv = lambda;
It is particularly useful if you have a template function with an
optional function_view parameter, whose type depends on the function's
template parameters. Like:
template<typename T>
void my_function (T v, gdb::function_view<void(T)> callback = nullptr);
For such a function, the type of the callback argument you pass must
already be a function_view. I.e., this wouldn't compile:
auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
my_function (1, lambda);
With gdb::make_function_view, you can write the call like so:
auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
my_function (1, gdb::make_function_view (lambda));
Unit tests included.
Tested by building with GCC 9.4, Clang 10, and GCC 4.8.5, on x86_64
GNU/Linux, and running the unit tests.
