[RFA] Reverse debugging, part 2/3: core interface


This is the core gdb part of reverse debugging: mainly
the infrun/infcmd part.

It depends on part 1 (the target interface) only in that
it expects the method target_get_execution_direction to exist.

It doesn't depend on part 3 (the user interface) at all,
so they can be reviewed, accepted or rejected independantly.

The important parts to this patch are as described in the
changelog, where it adds handling for reverse execution in
various contexts (such as stepping into a function).

2006-03-31  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@redhat.com>

	Execution interface for reverse execution.
	* breakpoint.c (breakpoint_silence): New function.
	* breakpoint.h (breakpoint_silence): Export.
	* infcmd.c (finish_command): Check for reverse exec direction.
	(finish_backward): New function, handle finish cmd in reverse.
	* infrun.c (enum inferior_stop_reason): Add NO_HISTORY reason.
	(handle_inferior_event): Handle TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_HISTORY.
	Handle stepping over a function call in reverse.
	Handle stepping thru a line range in reverse.
	Handle setting a step-resume breakpoint in reverse.
	Handle stepping into a function in reverse.
	Handle stepping between line ranges in reverse.
	(print_stop_reason): Print reason for NO_HISTORY.
