Add method/format information to =record-started
Eclipse CDT now supports enabling execution recording using two methods (full and btrace) and both formats for btrace (bts and pt). In the event that recording is enabled behind the back of the GUI (by the user on the command line, or a script), we need to know which method/format are being used, so it can be correctly reflected in the interface. This patch adds this information to the =record-started async record. Before: =record-started,thread-group="i1" After: =record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="bts" =record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="pt" =record-started,thread-group="i1",method="full" The "format" field is only present when the current method supports multiple formats (only the btrace method as of now). gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention the new fields in =record-started. * common/btrace-common.h (btrace_format_short_string): New function declaration. * common/btrace-common.c (btrace_format_short_string): New function. * mi/mi-interp.c (mi_record_changed): Output method and format fields in the =record-started record. * record-btrace.c (record_btrace_open): Adapt record_changed notification. * record-full.c (record_full_open): Likewise. * record.c (cmd_record_stop): Likewise. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Async Records): Document method and format fields in =record-started. * observer.texi (record_changed): Add method and format parameters. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.mi/mi-record-changed.exp: Adjust =record-started output matching.
