Ah, sorry I missed that. Added in the attached patch.

gdb.xmethod is a module. Hence, hasattr(gdb, 'xmethod') in your
suggestion will not return True. I have modified this in the attached
patch to something which should work.

I had something in hook.in in my very first patch but Tom Tromey said
it was not required anymore:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02405.html

> How am I expected to use these xmethods?

If you use the * operator on a unique_ptr or [] operator on a vector
in GDB, the xmethods will be called. Without the xmethods, GDB will
print something like "No matching method for
unique_ptr<...>::operator* found" if those operators were not used in
the source.

ChangeLog:
2014-08-27  Siva Chandra Reddy  <sivachandra@google.com>

        * python/hook.in: Load the xmethods.
        * python/Makefile.am (nobase_python_DATA): Add xmethods.py.
        * python/Makefile.in: Regenerated.
        * python/libstdcxx/v6/xmethods.py: New file.
        * testsuite/lib/gdb-test.exp (gdb_version_check_xmethods): New
        function.
        (gdb-test): New optional argument LOAD_XMETHODS.  Load xmethods
        python script if LOAD_XMETHODS is true.
        * testsuite/libstdc++-xmethods/unique_ptr.cc: New file.
        * testsuite/libstdc++-xmethods/vector.cc: New file.
        * testsuite/libstdc++-xmethods/xmethods.exp: New file.

Interesting, I wonder how they should have been found then. I think I
did test with the files installed, but they weren't used. I'll test
again with the new patch.

What I meant was that there should just be a single function called by
the hook file, and that it should handle the xmethod additions by some
means as well.

I misunderstood then. But, I still do not understand what you mean by
"single function".

You are probably already doing it, but just in case: are you using GDB
7.8 (or later, like ToT) ? You most likely are as otherwise the tests
added by this patch will not be exercised.

I re-read my original note, and I think I wasn't very clear.  Sorry
about that.

All I mean here is that I think it's better to have a single
registration function in the libstdc++ python code.  This function can
do all the needed work.

Yes, I'm testing with both 7.8 (where it should work) and an older
version (where it should fail gracefully).

My patch is still using a single function to register libstdc++
xmethods. Do you mean there should be a single function for pretty
printers and xmethods together?

I am probably not understanding it right again. Are you suggesting
that in hook.in, we just have single function call like this:

register_python_hooks (gdb.current_objfile ())

and, this function register_python_hooks lives somewhere else and
calls register_libstdcxx_printers and register_libstdcxx_xmethods?

Thanks,
Siva Chandra

Yeah.  I think it's better to put as little as possible in the hook file.
I realize this may sound ridiculous given all the code that is already
there; but that's an artifact of gcc's install-relocatability requirement.

OK. Do you think I could do this as a follow up? May be not
considerable, but seems to me like it distracts the intent of this
patch?

Ping. I am not sure if the "OK to ping weekly" applies to GCC patches
as well. I apologize if it has to be longer.

I was waiting to see which version of the patch actually works, so
that users can use the xmethods. There's no point committing the patch
if they aren't installed and can't be used!

Also, Tom had objections to the most recent patch, which haven't been
addressed. 

I suppose we can fix that later.

Doesn't the latest version of the patch I posted work for you:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-08/msg02516.html

If not, what errors or missing things do you see?

I am a bit confused about his suggestion and hence I asked if it can
be addressed as a follow up. It seems to me like his suggestion is a
code cleanup, but I am not really sure what the aim of the cleanup is.
To avoid mixing up discussing that versus the aim the patch in
question, I am asking if it can addressed as a follow up.

To clarify, the reason I am asking for errors or missing pieces is
because things work as expected for me with the latest patch; The
xmethods get installed and GDB automatically loads them.

I've committed the v5 patch to trunk now.

It would be nice to address Tom's comment at some future time, so we
only have one entry point in the hook.in file.

Thanks a lot.

I will do it before I add more xmethods.
