gdbhooks: Add attempt to invoke on-gcc-hooks-load
This extends GCC's GDB hooks to attempt invoking the user-defined
command "on-gcc-hooks-load". The idea is that users can define the
command in their .gdbinit to override the default values of parameters
defined by GCC's GDB extensions.
For example, together with the previous patch, I can add the following
fragment to my .gdbinit:
define on-gcc-hooks-load
set gcc-dot-cmd xdot
end
which means, once the GCC extensions get loaded, whenever I invoke
dot-fn then the graph will be rendered using xdot.
The try/except should make this patch a no-op for users that don't
currently define this command. I looked for a way to test explicitly
for whether a GDB command exists but didn't find one.
This is needed because the user's .gdbinit is sourced before GCC's GDB
extensions are loaded, and GCC-specific parameters can't be configured
before they are defined.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* gdbhooks.py: Add attempted call to "on-gcc-hooks-load" once
we've finished loading the hooks.
