Re: [RFA] improved handling of shared lib calls (reverse 2/2)


And now this one?

Now how about this one?

This change depends on the previous one (epilogue unwinder for i386,
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-07/msg00099.html).

With the frame unwinder working properly, we can remove the
special case code in the test for "check for subroutine call"
in handle_inferior_event.

Of course that reveals some hidden problems with shared library
calls, so this patch also addresses those.

* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Remove an execution_direction
check in the "check for subroutine calls" test, and add some additional handling for reverse-stepping through shared libraries.
