GDB "Start of New Year Procedure" -- 2018 edition

GDB "Start of New Year Procedure" -- 2018 edition

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello,

I am about to push the following commits. Most of them are a direct
application of the "Start of New Year Procedure" procedure listed
in our GDB Internals Manual. A couple of them are tiny adjustments
to the gdb/copyright.sh script to remove the need for a manual update
of a couple of files that can now be processed automatically, and
before that fix a small bug which is hidden until we remove those
the special processing for those two files.

  * [PATCH 1/5] Yearly rotation of the gdb/ChangeLog file
  * [PATCH 2/5] Update copyright year in version message of GDB,
  * [PATCH 3/5] gdb/copyright.py: Do not forget to remind about
  * [PATCH 4/5] gdb/copyright.py: Remove
  * [PATCH 5/5] Update copyright year range in all GDB files

Tested by rebuilding GDB from scratch on x86_64-linux.

Thanks,

Joel

[PATCH 4/5] gdb/copyright.py: Remove testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.{c,inp} special handling

[Joel Brobecker]

In the past, these files needed to be handled by hand, because
the testcase was sensitive to the length of the header, which was
potentially changing when new copyright years were added to
the copyright header. Now that we simply maintain and update
a range, the length of the copyright header should not change
as a consequence of the update performed by this script, so
special handling of those files is no longer necessary.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * copyright.py (BY_HAND): Remove gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.inp
        and gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/step-line.c.

[PATCH 3/5] gdb/copyright.py: Do not forget to remind about MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS

[Joel Brobecker]

There is a small logical error in the part of the script that
dumps the list of files in BY_HAND + MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS
but only checkis the contents of BY_HAND. The issue becomes
apparent as soon as BY_HAND is empty. Prevent this from happening
by treating the two lists separately, as this allows us to provide
a more informative message in the case of MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS.

        * copyright.py (main): Dump the contents of
        MULTIPLE_COPYRIGHT_HEADERS (separately) from BY_HAND,
        even if BY_HAND is empty.

Patch #1 and patch #5 did not make it to the list, because the diff
itself was too big (no big surprise).

gdb/ChangeLog

        * config/djgpp/fnchange.lst: Add entry for gdb/ChangeLog-2017.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        Update copyright year range in all GDB files

The patches are mechanical or automated updates, and are trivial
to generate now that we use git, so I don't think it's worth
re-sending. But let me know if you'd like to have them archived
here -- I can try sending a compressed diff instead.

Thanks for taking care of this, Joel.
