Subject: [PATCHv3 8/9] gdbarch: make invalid=True the default for all Components
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 18:43:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8b949fcfa06701ff7188c657952b9c6dc70113ec.1678473293.git.aburgess@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1678473293.git.aburgess@redhat.com>

This commit switches the default value for the 'invalid' field from
False to True.  All components that previous set the invalid field to
True explicitly have had the field removed.

I think that True is a good choice for the default, this means that we
now get the validity checks by default, and if anyone adds a new
Component they need to make a choice to add an 'invalid=False' line
and disable the validation.

The flip side of this is that 'invalid=False' seems to be far more
common than 'invalid=True'.  But I don't see a huge problem with this,
we shouldn't be aiming to reduce our typing, rather we should choose
based on which is least likely to introduce bugs.  I think assuming
that we should do a validity check will achieve that.

Some additional components need to have an 'invalid=False' line added
to their definition, these are components that have a predefault
value, which is sufficient; the tdep code doesn't need to replace this
value if it doesn't want to.

Without adding the 'invalid=False' these components would be
considered to be invalid if they have not changed from their
predefault value -- but the predefault is fine.

There's no change in the generated code after this commit, so there
will be no user visible changes after this commit.
