[PATCH 00/11] Fix frame-less expression evaluation in DAP

[PATCH 00/11] Fix frame-less expression evaluation in DAP

[Tom Tromey]

In DAP, an evaluation request without a frame ID should be done at the
global scope.  This series implements this.  Most of the series is
minor cleanups to the parser API, to make the final code a bit
cleaner.

Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 36.

[PATCH 02/11] Move innermost_block_tracker to expression.h

[Tom Tromey]

I think parser-defs.h should hold declarations that can be used by
parser implementations, whereas expression.h should hold declarations
that are used by code that wants to call a parser.  Following this
logic, this patch moves innermost_block_tracker to expression.h.

[PATCH 03/11] Introduce and use parser flags

[Tom Tromey]

This patch adds a new parser_flags type and changes the parser APIs to
use it rather than a collection of 'int' and 'bool'.  More flags will
be added in subsquent patches.

[PATCH 08/11] Add PARSER_LEAVE_BLOCK_ALONE flag

[Tom Tromey]

This adds a PARSER_LEAVE_BLOCK_ALONE flag, and changes the parse API
to respect it.  This flag lets callers avoid any change to the
passed-in block and expression PC, letting them specify the context
exactly.  In particular, now nullptr can be used to indicate that the
parse should not examine any local variables.

[PATCH 10/11] Add global_context parameter to gdb.parse_and_eval

[Tom Tromey]

This adds a 'global_context' parse_and_eval to gdb.parse_and_eval.
This lets users request a parse that is done at "global scope".

I considered letting callers pass in a block instead, with None
meaning "global" -- but then there didn't seem to be a clean way to
express the default for this parameter.
